CCyril

She's got lots of good qualities.

Gareth

Like?

CCyril

Well...She's ever so pretty.

Gareth

Do you know I was forgetting the prettiness factor? Yes, I remember when Gustav started working here. It wasn't that he was a great chef and he'd worked in some of the finest kitchens in the world. Oh no. We wanted him because he was so bloody pretty!

CCyril

But he's ugly.

Gareth

Ahh!

CyrilAlright, keep yer hair on son. [leaves]

Gareth

I am not your son. I will never ever be your son. Cyril, have you got 50p? Cyril? Dad?

Gareth

It's a letter from my father. He's coming to visit.

Oh, is he? How is he?

Gareth

As gittish as ever. In fact, if there was a Hall of Fame for Gits, my father would be revered as the gold-plated, gilt-edged git god of all time. I loathe him more than Gary Rhodes's hair cut.

You're not still vexed with him, are you, Chef?

Gareth

Vexed? Everton, when I was ten years old my father went round the corner to buy a newspaper. He never came back.

It's a shame you're gonna have to tell your Dad about you and Janice splitting up.

Gareth

Nah, not at all. We'll just have one of those intimate father-son moments where I break down and confess all, and he takes me in his broad, fatherly arms and says comforting things like: (Jamaican accent) "Heh heh heh, you finally cocked things up this time, ain't it? I tell you that girl was too hoity-toity for you. But you wouldn't listen. Well, she hoity-toity all the way out the front door now! Heh heh heh!"

[Cyril enters the kitchen with flowers, which Gareth decapitates]

Gareth

I'm not a cruel man, Cyril.

CCyril

Yes, you are.

Gareth

Sometimes, one needs to get ones point across in a short space of time. Cyril, Savannah does not want to be and never will be your Valentine, your sweetheart or your squidgy love bundle.

CCyril

But we snogged.
