Vera, Dennis and others in “Unfinished Business”

Dennis?

Dennis

Hi. Vera? Look, I've reversed the charges because it's such a nightmare with all them stacks of change.

So, are you all right?

Dennis

Yeah. How's the kids?

Ahh, they're fine. If I'd know you were gonna call, I'd have kept 'em up.

Dennis

Ah, well, don't keep 'em up, love.

I'll not now, I mean it's difficult enough as it is trying to get 'em up!

Dennis

How are ya, then?

I'm all right. Did you get me letter?

Dennis

'Ey, what's this about you comin' out here?

Yes, well I thought it might be useful, you know, erm... I mean, I thought we could talk.

Dennis

Well, there doesn't seem much to talk about. The solicitors, they filled in all the blanks.

Yeah. I mean, I think that's the point, Dennis, you know? I think they took over. I mean, there was your lawyer and my lawyer and all these forms to fill in, statements to make...

Dennis

Yeah, well that's the way they work, isn'it? Know what I mean?

Absolutely, that's the point. I think that, in the middle of all that, somewhere you and I got lost, you know.

Dennis

That's how they make their money, love.

What?

Dennis

I said that's how they make their money.

I know, Dennis. Will you listen?

Dennis

Okay, pet, I'm listening. What?

I'm sayin' that I think that we got lost as people, as a couple. An' I think if I came out, we'd be away from all that pressure, all that procedure. I mean, we're still a family, aren't we?

Dennis

Are we?

Helen wants to take the kids up to the caravan in Seahouses.

Dennis

Yeah?

They could go to Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands, they'll have a whale of a time. It'd do them the world of good

Dennis

I agree, I agree, that's good for them, yeah.

Now, you sent us some extra.

Dennis

Well, I've been puttin' in some overtime, y'kna? It's the least I can do.

I really appreciate it. But I thought I could use that to fly out.

Dennis

What? D'you think it's worth havin' you fly all the way out here on your own?

Oh, Dennis, pet, please. Don't make it hard.

Dennis

Well, okay. All right, if... if that's what you want.

Bomber

I got you one on.

Dennis

Cheers, Bomb. I reckon I could use one.

Bomber

Everything all right?

Dennis

Eh... you tell me, Bomber. You tell me.
