“Chaos” · Season 1, Episode 5

In this episode: Tim Bisley (6), Daisy Steiner (3), Mike Watt (1), Brian Topp (1), Bilbo (1), Twist (1)

In the end, our relationship was just like a sandwich toaster. You know, you just forget you've got one. And it just sits there on the top of the cupboard collecting a layer of greasy fudge. And even if you do see it you just assume it's broken, you think if it's working I'd be using it all the time, but you don't and it just sits there. Then one day, you get an overwhelming desire for toasted sandwiches, you know? And you get it down and it works, and you can't believe it, you know? And then you make every kind of toasted sandwich there is, you have toasted sandwich parties. You make Marmite and cheese, chocolate and...

Pilchards.

Banana and...

Acorns.

Acorns. And then as quickly as the desire comes, it just goes. And then you put the toasted sandwich maker away. And, you know what?

What?

You don't miss it.

So what you're saying is 'Don't hide the toasted sandwich maker away, use him regularly and you'll get the most out of him.'

No, she's saying 'Chuck your boyfriend, have a sandwich.'

When friends are concerned, sacrifices have to be made.

You mean we kill the dog?

[whilst nodding] No...

Spoil sport.

[About Colin the dog.]

How can you not like him? He's so cute. Aw...

Yeah, that's how it all starts, with oohs and ahs, but later there's barking and biting! He's a ticking timebomb of death, Daisy. You give him all the love in the world and spend years of your life doting on his little furry head, and then one day you get back from aerobics and there he is, panting over the half eaten remains of some hapless handyman you left fixing the tumble dryer.

We don't have a tumble dryer.

You will, my friend. You will.

Look, Tim, I know that I've been insensitive, and I do appreciate that you are riddled with deep seated psychological disorders—

Thank you.

[After an original Star Wars trilogy marathon]

You know, Brian, everything that happened in those movies can be attributed to the actions of one man.

Who?

The gunner on the Star Destroyer in the first film.

What d'you mean?

[chuckles in a knowing way] Well, if he'd shot the pod with R2 and 3PO in, they wouldn't have made it to Tatooine, they wouldn't have met Luke, Luke wouldn't have met Ben, they wouldn't have met Han and Chewie, they wouldn't have saved Princess Leia, none of it would have happened.

Chaos theory...

Eh?

The predictability of random events. The notion that reality as we know it—past, present, future—is in fact a mathematically predictable preordained system.

So somewhere out there in the vastness of the unknown is an... equation... for predicting the future?

An equation so complex as to utterly defy any possibility of comprehension by even the most brilliant human mind, but an equation nonetheless.

[In dawning realization] Oh my god...

What?

What?

I've got some fucking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket. [They all cheer; Tim sings] "Oh Mummy, oh Daddy, let's all play kabaddi."

Mike, I'll see you back here at twenty-two hundred hours. Everyone else, I'll see you back here at ten.

[Assigning code names]

Mike, you're Luke. Brian, you're Chewie. Daisy, you're Leia. Twist, you're...Jabba.

Is Jabba the princess?

EEveryone

Yes.
