It's my fault, Veronica. I should never have shown Ben how to reply to an email.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
So Ben sent an email pretending to be you?
Mum!
Well, actually -
Mum!
She's got nits. I'm halfway through.
Oh God, it's these parents isn't it? They know their kids have got them and they just merrily pack them off to school.
(grimacing guiltily) I know.
Oh no. You're not checking your email.
There's one from Veronica.
Especially not one from Veronica.
Oh no, Veronica. No. I am not having that.
No, don't reply. That's fatal because then she'll reply and then you'll be tempted to reply to her reply and then you'll get caught up in that Pandora's...circle.
"You could do with Ramadan lasting all year round, couldn't you Kamal?"
Is she eating?
She keeps banging on about how that's not her bowl.
It's not her bowl, because I broke her bowl this morning and had to drive all the way to Ikea to get her one that's identical but it IS identical.
Then how does she know it's not her bowl?
I dunno. She must have...powers!
(When Sue and the kids are playing The Lying Game in the car.)
I like Auntie Angela.
That's lovely, sweetheart. Erm, anyway, let's get on with the game.
That was part of the game.
What does it feel like to be old? Is it nice?
Beats being dead.
How’s school?
It’s school.
It was cool?
It was school. School’s school! Jesus!
SSteven
I’m Rory’s dad – Steven. Ben’s told us all about you. He’s quite a kid, isn’t he?
Yes, he’s quite a kid.
SSteven
He’s told us all about you.
Has he?
SSteven
Oh yes, he’s obviously very proud. So tell me, what’s Gordon Brown really like?
Mummy, do you believe in God?
Mummy's unblocking the sink, darling.
(sees Angela crying) Has Grandad died?
Can I watch Little Britain?
Have a guess.
Yes.
Have another guess.
Do dinner parties always end like that?
The ones when your Auntie Angela is invited do.
AAngela
What part of India are you from?
RRavi
Pakistan.
You mustn't arm wrestle this little girl cos she only looks about three.
GGirl
Four!
She's four.
