S1 E15Unfinished Business

[Guy is on the telephone to a former girlfriend.]

GGuy

Suzy? Babe? [Puts on a bad Welsh accent.] Oh, hello. Oh, hello Frank. No, no, it's Geoff. Yeah. No, I'm an old school friend of Suzy's. I know she did, but I moved down when I was twelve. From... [Changes accent.] ...Derbyshire. Oh, do they? Which part? Which part? Which bit? Oh, I know I don’t, but because I’ve got a bit of a cold at the moment and I'm a bit sad... about... well, about my... hedgerows. Yeah. I've got to go now. I’ve got to go to the Vale. The Vale of Pewter. Near... Derby. OK, OK, bye. [Hangs up.] Think I got away with that.

[Harriet and Karen buying a birthday cake.]

Ooh, this one.

[Harriet picks out a cake in the shape of a pair of breasts.]

That's more Rachel. It's not really Joanna.

We can put a candle on each nipple. I’ve always wanted to do that. Either that or run away and join the circus.

Hello, Mum, it's me. Martin. Martin Dear. Martin. M-A-R-T-I-N. You know who it is!

Join me again next week on Let’s Make No Fucking Sense when I will be waxing an owl.

What’s that on your coat?

RRachel

What?

Silver lines, on there.

RRachel

Oh, snails. Yeah, I went to a party last night and, err…woke up in the garden.

[Karen’s poem, "Ode to Martin," read by Kim.]

"There was a time I had not seen you, I don't know how I coped. Now every day I want to watch you and help you with your [pronounced phonetically] moped." "Help you with your moped?" What's that?

I tell you what you could do, Karen. In the second line: coped—copèd. "I know how not I copèd." No. A bit florid perhaps.

[Caroline and Mac talk to some students about medicine.]

Any final thoughts, Dr. Todd?

Don't get ill. We make you all sleepy and do terrible things.

Wise words indeed.

GGuy

Martin, what do you think of when I say the word "Switzerland" to you?

I don't know, you've never said it to me before.

GGuy

I'm saying it now. And don't say Phil Collins lives there.

Does he?

GGuy

Shut your eyes, think of Switzerland—what do you see?

[Eyes shut] Nothing.

GGuy

You must see something!

I don't have a visual memory, sorry.

I see something. I see a chocolate Phil Collins coming out of a clock every hour, to tidy up his Nazi gold.

What are you wearing?

It's called a white coat. It's identical to the one you're wearing, only a tiny bit whiter.

[Joanna brings a urine sample to the pathology lab for testing]

TTechnician

I need a name for the sample.

Er, well, it's for a friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous. Is that going to cause problems in your weird little technical brain?

TTechnician

No, it's just that usually we've got to go up on the roof and shout, "Pregnancy test results for the stupid lanky old bitch who's not learned to take basic precautions in her forty-odd years on this planet!" You know, assuming that your friend is quite lanky.

[Caroline tries to remember what happened at the party with Mac.]

First you say you don't remember any kissing at all, and now you're saying there was kissing in the toilet. Which one is it?

GGuy

[From the next room.] Kissing in the toilet?

Yes, er, who sang "Kissing in the Toilet" in 1978?

GGuy

Er, was it a young George Michael?

Yes.

GGuy

Fucking hell! That was a guess! [sings] "Kissing in the toilet. Don't flush, it's lush."

I know you pretend to be ashamed of me.

No, it’s quite genuine.

Well, underneath I know you're got some mother's pride. And I don’t mean the bread.

Precisely. Gamma rays, which produce images of—I'm having a baby—and can be expressed in numerical form. Tiny, pink, little baby. Moving on to diagnostic preferences in, let's say soft-tissue trauma... Who's the daddy? I think you'll find that I am the daddy.
