[gentle music]
Cranford's giving you a look.
There go and have a look, go and have a look.
I don't know why.
I saved a cow of his last week.
Poor thing had colic.
Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
It says eight o'clock on there.
Quite exciting.
-Hello! -Hello.
[Usher] Enjoy the film.
Thank you.
[Newsreader] And then a gasp of amazement
and satisfaction runs around the world.
The Prime Minister decides to fly
to a personal meeting with the German Chancellor,
so after 69 years of a busy life,
Mr Chamberlain makes his first trip in a plane.
There's proof of his determination.
The German Chancellor regards the situation,
it seems to me, to be one
in which discussions between him and me-
It'll get sorted.
[Chamberlain] May have useful consequences.
Are your parents still coming down to see you?
The day after tomorrow.
They can only stay the one night.
-Hello. -She's dead.
Dead?
Aye, she is. Dead.
Not her!
Me cow, you silly beggar!
I am sorry about that.
And I don't think
it was owt to do with her stomach, neither.
Sorry.
I'm just relieved he wasn't talking about his wife.
And... And here's another thing,
you never sent me that salve you promised me either.
[gentle music]
[Audrey] What do you think?
That it's beyond saving.
I thought I'd get in for your parents.
They're still stopping by tomorrow?
Is there any more mustard?
You've got legs.
They're welcome to stay, you know.
It's no bother making up another bed.
They've got the inn booked.
They didn't want to impose.
Has your mum got any idea you're not coming back?
I didn't want to do it over the phone.
With everything else going on in the world,
maybe she'll mind less.
What's this?
Oh, just
looking to the future,
making decisions.
I'm still thinking about it.
You're a good vet.
There's only one exam.
I can help you revise if you like.
-Aw. -My gallant crew, good morning!
An enjoyable evening with Diana?
Mind your beeswax!
Oh, God, man, you smell like a tart's handbag!
Parma Violet, if I'm not mistaken.
I wondered where my bath salts had gone!
Oh, he had a rough time of it last night.
-[Audrey] Oh, aye. -[phone ringing]
I was at the cinema with Helen...
-[Audrey] I'll get it. -And Cranford wouldn't stop
going on about some bloody salve.
I'll do it.
It would have been nice to have one night out with Helen
that didn't end in disaster.
When are you going to stop this nonsense and get wed?
-[laughing] -Why are you laughing?
You're not serious, are you?
But I've no money, no house.
-Where would we live? -Here, of course.
With Tristan sleeping in the cupboard?
I wouldn't mind waking up to Helen...
Sorry, that's inappropriate! But it's true.
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
tomorrow will be dying.
I'm not getting married!
-You're getting married? -I'm not!
Caution, often a virtue, but you carry it too far.
You need to take a chance, lash out a little.
Carpe some diem!
Throw off these hesitant ways and, remember,
there is a tide in the affairs of men
which taken at the flood-
Yes, Siegfried, all right, all right.
Stop it.
Who was on the phone?
Mrs Dalby.
She wants you to look over her stirks.
[humming the "Wedding March"]
[cows mooing]
Why aren't you off to school yet?
I just wanted to see about the cows.
Billy Francis Dalby,
if you're not on your bike this second...
Mum!
You must be proud of him.
Oh, I am that.
Now, I know you told me not to put them out again,
but we worked through the hay so fast,
I couldn't afford to keep feeding them cake.
I can see they've been suffering with diarrhea.
Yeah.
It seems to have happened within a few days.
Maybe it's something they've eaten.
You have any idea what it might be?
There's a few possibilities.
The most troubling is it could be salmonella.
Right.
Let's wait until we know before we start worrying.
I'll take some samples, get them analyzed,
and by tomorrow, we'll know what we're dealing with.
I sometimes wonder
maybe we'd be better off if I'd just listened to you
and sold up whilst we still had the chance.
You kept the farm for Billy, to give him hope, a future.
Oh, we spent all that money on cake as well.
We need to wait for the results
and then we'll deal with it.
So let's stop all this talk about moving on.
Your life is here.
This is where you belong.
Thanks, James.
Don't forget to stop by the house for a brew.
Well, you see here, Mr Thomas, what I'm saying is
they call themselves vets,
and they're all right with cattle and that class of thing,
but they're no use with cats and dogs, you mark my words.
What you need is some of my shampoos.
Oh, that will see him right as rain in a minute,
won't it, Rex?
Won't it, my sweetheart?
You're starting early.
Do I detect a note of judgment in your tone, Maggie?
Far be it from me.
-[barking] -Oh, wheesht, Rex.
You'll give yourself a sore throat.
-[dramatic music] -Rex!
Come here, Rex!
Rex!
Oh!
[Driver] He came out of nowhere!
[Tristan] It's all right.
I'll take care of him.
What are you doing?
-[Tristan] I know. -[yelping]
He needs a vet, Mrs Donovan.
Rex.
My boy!
I've no doubt Mrs Donovan's shampoos are marvelous
for cleaning a dog's fur,
but they'll do nothing to mend a broken hip.
If you'd like to wait, Mr Thomas,
then I'm sure Mr Farnon will be with you in a minute.
-Thank you. -Siegfried, hit by a car.
Hold on! Hold on!
What are you going to do to him?
Mrs Donovan, perhaps you should wait in the living room.
I am not leaving my dog!
[Siegfried] What happened exactly?
Oh, he bolted and then a car came.
-Chloroform. -There's no need.
-Has he gone? -No, he hasn't!
That's my dog!
[melancholic music]
Massive internal hemorrhaging, I think.
I can feel damage to the pelvic bone.
Nothing we could have done.
I'm so sorry, Mrs Donovan.
-Hi, James. -Afternoon, Jenny.
-Hello. -Hello.
What is it?
Oh, nothing.
There was just some pollen in the air.
[gentle music]
That's it, Candy. Good girl.
Jenny, you're not jinking off school, are you?
I said she could.
She don't want to miss the birth.
It's all Pythagoras and his blooming triangles anyway.
How's that supposed to help me milk the cows?
Speaking of which, you might make yourself useful.
I'll leave you pair to it.
I was always trying to skip school at her age.
Really?
I always had you down as a bit of a goody-two-shoes.
I'll try not to take offense at that.
Shall we have a look at you, then, Candy,
to see how your foal's doing?
Many more calls today?
You're my last.
I've got to get a sample from the Dalbys over to Harrogate.
It could be salmonella.
Oh, that's the last thing Phyllis needs.
When will you get the results?
Should be a day. It's a fair drive.
If you're able to get away,
it'd be nice to have some company.
There's a few things I need to finish on the farm first.
I'm happy to wait.
I thought we could have dinner with my folks tomorrow.
Together? All of us?
Well, I'd like to introduce you to them since you are...
Well, we are...
You know. And I met your dad.
-I even wore his shoes. -Right.
I must check I've got a clean frock, then. For tomorrow.
Do you think he suffered at all?
I'm certain he didn't.
You can leave him here if you'd prefer.
Oh, no.
My Rex will have a proper burial.
There's a spot down by my boat under a tree.
He used to like it.
Sounds perfect.
Shall I carry him over for you?
Aye, well...
I suppose that's all right, then.
-Did you have him long? -Eight years all in.
He must have seen a lot of the world with you.
I'm sure he had a wonderful life.
What would you know about our life?
No, no, I'm not saying I do, I just imagine.
Whenever I saw him out and about with you,
he always looked happy.
You know where you are with a dog.
They're loyal.
They don't judge you for who or what you are.
[dog whining]
Sounds like Rex was very important to you.
Maybe you should think about getting another.
Getting another?
A dog's not a toy or a trinket you replace once it's broke.
It's a living thing.
They choose you just as much as you choose them.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to be insensitive.
I just thought that--
That's the trouble with people,
they're too busy thinking or not thinking.
Instead of just being.
What is it you're after?
Cos I'm telling you, if it's money, you'll get none from me.
-I'm not after anything. -Right.
Well, why are you doing this, then?
Sure, you hardly know me.
I saw what happened to your dog and I wanted to help him.
And I suppose, deep down,
it also means I wanted to help you too.
[gentle music]
It's not just the animals.
Are you soft in the head?
What are you on about?
It doesn't matter.
Something somebody said to me once.
More than once.
You're a funny man.
Did anyone ever tell you that?
More often than I care to mention.
Well, you might take it as a compliment.
There's room enough in this world for folks
of all kinds of different stripes.
Who's that fella?
You're all right, he's with me.
That's my boat.
You may lie him there.
My Rex is dead.
He felt nothing.
You wains can help me lay him to rest.
Dad there's a pie in the kitchen.
I should be back to get it in the over but if I'm not--
I'm sure we'll manage love.
-Thank you. -My pleasure.
Cheerio, Mr Alderson.
Aye.
How old were your parents when they got married?
Dad said he were barely out
of short trousers when he asked me mam.
I don't know my parents got engaged.
Never thought to ask.
No.
You never struck me as the romantic type.
I am romantic!
Oh, no, I didn't mean it in a bad way.
I just meant you're not one for grand gestures
or anything too extravagant.
I like that about you.
My mum thinks if I stay in this job,
I'll never find a wife.
And Siegfried thinks I should just get on and marry you!
-Oh! What did you say? -I laughed.
He said I'd a habit of being too cautious,
that I don't have the courage of my convictions
and see dangers where there are none.
That's how Siegfried put it anyway.
Do you think your mum wants you to get married?
I think she wants grandchildren.
You know, there's something in what Siegfried said.
In what way?
Well, you do sometimes overthink,
see catastrophe round every corner.
It's not something I want to do.
Then don't.
Don't?
Overthink.
-Worry less. -I wish I could.
-Well, you can. -I can?
Why not?
Just decide to be positive and take the plunge?
What's the worst that could happen?
-You'd say no! -To what?
Asking you to marry me.
[gentle music]
Stop the car.
Helen, I'm fine with you not being ready.
I just...
I just need a moment.
-But I'm not afraid to say it. -Say what?
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Here in the Dales.
I'm not afraid either.
You're not?
No.
James, why do you smell like that?
I ran out of bath salts so I used Mrs Hall's.
I may have overdone it somewhat.
What? Is it the smell?
Don't worry, it'll be gone in a couple of days.
It's not the smell.
The ring? I haven't got a ring!
You see, this is the problem with not planning!
It's Dad.
I take it you haven't spoke to him?
Look Dad in the eye.
And don't gabble.
Sometimes when you're nervous, you gabble.
What do you mean, I gabble? I don't gabble.
When have I ever... I hardly ever...
Unless I'm really nervous maybe.
Right.
Something's wrong.
I would have sent for Mr Farnon.
There's summat up with our Candy.
Come quick, will you?
[groaning]
[dramatic music]
The uterus is twisted.
And that's bad, is it?
Give me your hand.
Now, when it's open like this,
you can put your hand straight through.
But if I twist it...
Nothing can get through.
That's what's happening inside Candy.
And we need to unwind it.
-If you can't? -We'll lose them both, love.
Jenny, go up to the phone box and call Skeldale House.
We're going to need some help.
[phone ringing]
[gentle music]
Darrowby 2-2-9-7.
[Jenny] It's Jenny.
Oh, Jenny, hello, how are you?
Mr Farnon?
He's just coming, love.
Jenny Alderson.
Jenny?
I'll be out there straight away.
I'll get your jacket.
Is something going on?
Problem with the Aldersons' horse. James needs my help.
Hold that.
Thank you.
[Chamberlain] This morning,
I had another talk
with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler.
Here is the paper--
Hello, you.
[Chamberlain] Which bears his name upon it
-as well as mine. -Good book?
-[cheering] -Mm.
[Chamberlain] Some of you perhaps
have already heard what it contains
but I would just like to read it to you.
The British Prime Minister have had
-a further meeting today-- -Siegfried wait!
[Chamberlain] And are agreed in recognizing
that the question of Anglo-German relations
is of the first importance for the two countries
and for Europe.
We regard the agreement signed last night
and at the Anglo-German Naval Agreement
as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples
never to go to war with one another again.
[cheering]
Good evening, Richard, Helen, Jenny.
What's the presentation?
Uterus is still twisted.
It's too late to carry out a caesarean.
Don't worry, the cavalry's here.
So you're going to try to turn her over to unwind it?
That's the plan.
I'll take hold of the hooves.
Siegfried, Mr Alderson, when I say, roll the horse over.
Hopefully it'll untwist the uterus around the foal.
Tris, give them a hand if they need it.
-Jenny, love-- -I'm staying.
-Ready? -Come on, then.
It's all right.
Candy was their mother's horse.
It'll put everything right.
[horse groaning]
I've got hold of the feet.
All right.
Now, roll her.
Stop, stop, hold on.
I'm losing grip of the foal's hooves.
All right.
I've got them.
Ready? Go.
Is it working?
Yeah, I can feel it loosening.
It's coming towards me.
The foal's coming.
It's coming.
It's coming! It's coming.
He's done it! It's out!
[barking]
Evening.
Thought we'd drop by and see if you fancied a stroll?
Let me grab my coat. Come here.
Go on. Go on, go on.
One more, one more.
Come on, little one.
Go on, little one.
-Yay! -There we are.
[gentle music]
Our work here is done.
I'll call her Joan. After mum.
Aye, that'll do.
We'll leave 'em be.
Mother knows what's best for 'em.
Jenny...
-Jenny. -But...
Must be going bloomin' soft.
She's...
She's a good girl, is Candy.
Mr Alderson
I'd like to marry your daughter.
Right.
You better come up to t'house, lad.
[Audrey] Oh it's good to get out.
And away from that talk on the radio.
Our illustrious leaders' trip to Munich?
They all want their heads banging together.
They should send you over there.
Give me one afternoon with that man
and his ridiculous mustache, I'd have it all sorted.
Be a damn sight easier than the job I've got I can tell you.
[chuckling]
You mustn't repeat that.
My lips are sealed.
I can't help thinking of my boy.
Be just like him to follow in his father's footsteps
and get himself in trouble.
Your husband fought in the war?
He were a good man.
Kind, affectionate.
But that were before.
He came home without a scratch on him, not a mark.
Not one that you could see at any rate.
I saw it happen to friends of mine.
I got hit and sent home before it had a chance to ruin me.
I were lucky.
Can't bear the thought of my Edward...
[Mr Thomas] Hey there's a chance
the whole thing'll be called off.
There's still hope.
It's been good weather for t'hay.
Aye, it is.
That's true.
Drop of rain won't do any ill, mind.
Oh, definitely.
Definitely, just to...
Moisten it.
-No, I'm fine. -Actually...
Thank you.
I had a wife in a thousand.
I've heard a lot about her.
She certainly sounds it.
Nobody thought she'd settle for a fella like me you know?
But she did.
One in a thousand, she were.
Bit bloody stubborn, though,
she set her mind to it.
I...
All right, why not?
You know, I can't...
I can't picture her face the way that I used to.
Time passes.
But I see it in them girls of mine, I see it in our Jenny.
She has that look when she gets cross, and
our Helen has her smile.
I see it sometimes when I catch her looking at you.
Aye.
Mr Alderson, I love Helen.
I'll take care of her.
I doubt that.
She'll be t'one taking care of you, lad.
With your permission.
What for?
You've already asked her, haven't you?
I did.
I have. How did you know?
I told you.
That smile, her mother's smile.
Listen.
There's no point asking me for my permission, lad.
That lass does exactly as she chooses.
Like her mother.
Stubborn.
[gentle music]
That were Helen's mother's.
My Joan.
Might you use it?
I'd be honored.
Thank you.
Aye.
Good lad.
[dog whining]
-Morning. -Morning.
Dad, get in here before it goes cold!
[Mr Alderson] Coming!
You made breakfast?
Well go on then, don't just gawp at it.
[Helen] But I've gotta get the eggs in.
Already done.
Cows milked too, chickens fed.
There's nothing left for you to do.
Smells good.
Boots off.
I'll not have you making this into a pig sty.
I've fed Scruff.
I'll check Joan over and put in some fresh straw for Candy.
Then I'm off to school.
I should do the horses.
I told you, there's nothing left for you to do.
[gentle music]
Come here.
Thank you.
Leftover stool samples.
Unlike James not to have cleaned them out.
-Lovely. -Where is he, by the way?
-Shouldn't he be up by now? -[Audrey] Yes Mr Cranford--
Didn't get back from the Aldersons until late last night.
I know you want the salve, Mr Cranford.
But we are not a delivery service.
If you'd like to come by-
[Mr Cranford] Get that bloody salve sent over!
Rude man!
That Cranford?
Need you ask?
I'll drop the salve round for him later.
Oh, there you are James. What time do you call this?
Sorry, Siegfried.
Late night, I got waylaid at the Aldersons.
Ha-ha, really?
Talking to Richard.
Oh, Richard now, is it?
Asking his permission to marry Helen!
Oh, my goodness!
Congratulations!
Let me give you a kiss.
Well, hang on, she hasn't said yes yet.
She has! James, well done!
I got the order of things a little muddled up.
I've got you to thank for that, Siegfried.
Yes, well, you took your time about it.
Mr Farnon.
What?
Oh, all right well done.
-Yes, very good, very moving. -Drinks later to celebrate?
Let's see how dinner with my parents goes first.
Are you bringing Helen?
Oh, they're going to be so pleased.
Another busy day?
A list far too long and varied
to encapsulate in a few brief words.
He said he had to come to it himself.
Oh, rubbish.
What happened to doing as you're damn well told?
Go on.
You better be off to meet your parents.
Hold on.
I had a phone call from a lab in Harrogate.
They said they didn't find anything.
Why are you smiling? Is that a good thing?
Aye it is.
[dog whining]
There you are.
Come on, then.
What's this?
Come on.
Good boy.
Good boy!
Come on then, you.
Come on.
That's it.
Good boy!
[gentle music]
There's my boy!
Give your ma a kiss.
Let me take that for you, Dad.
Thank you, son.
We'll drop your things at the inn,
-and then we'll go for a drive. -Where to?
You'll see.
On a beautiful day like this, you can see for 20 miles.
But when the weather comes in, it's a brutal place.
Snow ten foot deep, fog so thick
you can barely see your hand in front of your face.
I don't like the thought of you
going out in weather like that.
Thank goodness you won't have to do this much longer.
It's not so bad.
Slipping off in the dead of night?
Not coming home until morning?
You'll never find a wife carrying on like that, you know.
It's unnatural.
And those grandkiddies don't make themselves, you know.
[James] Good to see you, Dad.
Pick the leaves like these,
and don't be pulling up the meadowsweet,
cos it needs leaf to bloom.
Right. Look miserable.
Hello, Mrs Donovan.
What's up with this one, then?
He's a stray.
[Mrs Donovan] Where are you taking him?
Well, with no home to go to,
there's really only one option.
We'll have to put him down.
Got no-one to take care of him.
No-one's going to want a dog in this state.
Give him to me I'll have him.
Really, he should be checked over by a qualified vet.
Oh, I'll take care of him, never you worry.
He might benefit from those shampoos of yours.
Maybe he's not as daft as he looks.
Come on, down you get. That's it.
Why on earth have you brought us here?
I've got a few jobs to get through this afternoon.
I'm sorry. It won't take long.
-All right there, Jim? -Afternoon, Phyllis.
These are my parents, Hannah and James.
Hello.
-Afternoon. -Hello.
What we saying then, Jim? Don't keep us waiting.
Thankfully, it's not salmonella.
In fact, the laboratory couldn't find
anything wrong with them.
Oh.
There must be a mistake,
because I can see how bad they are,
and they're getting worse by the day.
There's something I want to show you.
Come on.
Why don't we take a look?
Come on!
Oh...
Oh!
[James] See this light coloration around the eyes?
[Billy] It's like they've got spectacles.
Aye, that's right, Billy, well spotted.
I noticed it last time I was here, but I wanted to rule out
everything else to confirm the diagnosis.
So, what is it?
They're suffering from copper deficiency.
You can tell by the loss of pigment in the coat,
particularly around the eyes.
I take it by the smug look on your face
you know how to fix it.
Certainly, I do.
A simple solution given orally.
It'll have to be repeated, to make sure
they don't get deficient again.
Other than that, they'll have a long and happy life.
And it is very expensive?
[James] Cheap as chips.
Yes!
[James] We mix it, and you administer it yourself.
I'll have some ready for you to pick up tomorrow.
Good God, Jim, don't do that to me.
I thought for a minute there we were beaten.
I don't think you'd ever be that, Phyllis.
Well, better get back. Get tea ready for the brood.
-Yeah. -Thanks, James.
-Cheerio. -Nice to meet you.
See?
Told you everything would be all right.
[Billy] Yes, we made it.
It's beautiful up here, isn't it?
Aye, it is.
I'll drop you at the inn to freshen up.
Where are you gallivanting off to now?
I'm bringing someone to dinner I'd like you to meet.
[gentle music]
[cheering]
[Chamberlain] I want to say
that the settlement of the Czechoslovakian problem,
which has now been achieved,
is in my view only the prelude
to a larger settlement
in which all Europe may find peace.
[cheering]
Careful, you'll get messed up.
James' parents'll have us down
as a right bunch of scruff-backs.
Yeah, well, they need taking in.
Otherwise they'll be roosting all over the place.
Give 'em here.
-Give 'em here! -Ready to go?
I'll just go and see if Dad needs hand with anything first.
Don't worry.
They're going to love you.
Is that...
Do you have something on the back of your dress.
[gentle music]
Who said I couldn't do romantic gestures?
Get up, you daft beggar.
Is that...
Is that me mum's?
It is.
James will be back soon.
Drink, anyone?
-Whisky perhaps? -God, yes!
We won't actually. We're not big drinkers.
No, neither are we. Special occasions.
It's a fine place you have here, Mr Farnon.
James can't speak highly enough about it.
Ah.
You must be sorry to be losing him.
What?
[dramatic music]
What are you talking about?
Oh, no, me and my big mouth.
Did you not know?
Hello!
Sorry that took a while.
No trouble at all, son.
Mr Farnon's been keeping us entertained.
We were just talking about
how sorry he'll be to see you gone.
Yes, something of a shock.
No doubt we'll find a replacement easily enough.
Siegfried.
Who's this?
Aren't you going to introduce us?
Right. Mum, Dad, this is Helen
my fiancée.
Hello. How do you do?
It's lovely to meet you both.
Tristan, would you like to come
and set the table for dinner?
Why don't I give you a hand?
[Dad] So, you're from farming stock?
Aye we've got a place.
It's been in the family over hundred years
one way or another.
Be hard for you to leave won't it?
Your dear mother can't be happy.
Oh she died.
A few years ago now.
Oh I'm sorry to hear that.
Aye, love.
Helen helped raise her little sister
and looked after the farm.
You're a lucky girl you know. You won't find better.
I'm not sure he will either.
Once you're married,
we'll see if we can't squeeze a bigger bed into James' room.
Oh, should be able to manage that.
It'll be a busy house,
but I'm sure we'll all rub along just fine.
Mum, I want you to know this hasn't been easy, but...
What?
What hasn't been easy?
I should've told you sooner,
but the truth is I didn't fully know for a long time.
I'm staying here,
and it's not only because of Helen.
-What about the job? -I was tempted, I won't lie.
But thinking about it's made me realize all the more
how much I love it here.
Every day is different.
I wake up and I have no idea where the job will take me.
I could be up in the High Dales wrestling cattle
or helping a dog that's had its paw caught in a trap.
It's this place, those hills...
James is too modest to ever say this himself,
but he's made such a difference
to so, so many people since he arrived.
It's especially true for me and my family,
and so many others.
That farm you visited today, the Dalbys,
that's the second time he's saved their herd this year.
What he does here really matters.
But what about Bill's place?
You can work normal hours, it's so modern and new.
That's not what makes a practice.
It's the people.
I love this place.
It's my home now.
You should be so proud of him.
I certainly am.
And I love him with all my heart.
So long as you're both happy.
That's all we've ever wanted for you.
Aye, it's true.
[Dad] Thanks Mrs Hall again for that grand meal yesterday.
I wish we could convince you to stay another night.
No, we need to get back and see about gaining some work.
I'll be back up to visit you as soon as I can.
Christmas maybe.
Visit?
You don't visit your home.
It's your real home, and it always will be.
I know, Mum. I didn't mean that.
-You're my boy. -Bye, son.
You've made a nice little life for yourself down here.
Thanks, Dad.
Look after him for us.
I will.
-Bye. -Bye, love.
Right, let's get you in that bus.
[gentle music]
[crying]
I love you.
I love you, too.
Oi! Herriot!
Hey, I want a word with you!
It's about that...
That damn...
salve you sent me!
[Male] To peace!
To Mr Chamberlain!
[Crowd] Mr Chamberlain!
Good man.
Isn't it something?
You don't realize how much something
weighs on you till it's gone.
I know exactly what you mean.
Now, look here, I think it grossly unfair of you
to characterize my support as something
akin to the trials of Atlas.
I only push you because I know you could achieve
so much more than you do, and if I didn't push you,
then you damn well wouldn't do anything useful-
Here he is!
What do you think of this one, then?
Haven't I made the difference?
And all it took was some of my shampoos.
I named him Roy.
And to think you were gonna do away with him.
You were right, Mrs Donovan.
Your shampoos really seem to have done the trick.
Come here, you.
You needn't think I don't know what you were up to.
Come on, Roy.
Come on, son.
How is everything?
Can I get you anything else?
Any more drinks?
There was a stray moping about the place.
I wanted to see if I could do something for him
and help Mrs Donovan at the same time.
That sounds very kind of you.
Sorry, Siegfried, you were saying something
about me never doing anything useful.
I take it back.
Now you're going to have to give me some money.
I just bought you a drink.
Don't tell me you've guzzled it already.
So I can go back to college.
I've decided to re-sit parasitology.
I think veterinary practice might be my calling after all.
Tristan, is it possible that you got
Cranford's salve mixed up with a stool sample?
Just bumped into him outside the Falcon Inn.
Said he started to rub it in before he realized.
No-one gets to be rude to Mrs H.
Quite right, well played.
Good boy.
Siegfried, I know I should've told you
about the job sooner, but I meant what I said.
I've learnt so much from you.
Yes, well, I couldn't help noticing that both of you took
rather a long time fully to appreciate-
Oh, be quiet.
Here, you pair
to your engagement
and a very happy future together.
Hear here.
Thank you.
[All] Cheers!
So, Helen, do you think you'll be able
to go through with it this time?
Tris!
What, I'm only saying what we're all thinking.
Ow!
