"No way, you and Mark finally broke up?" "Yeah, last week." "Well, now you're single, you can have some fun." "I've already started!" "You little minx!" "Come on who was it?" "Was he fit?" "Kind of, yeah." "He's about five-eleven, good teeth, slightly wonky eyes, thin hair." "He sounds vile." "How drunk were you?" "I was pretty pissed, actually." "I just recall waking up in his weird house and meeting his freaky friends." "This programme contains adult behaviour and some strong language" "Morning." "Can I get you some breakfast?" "Argh!" "No, I won't suck you off, Louis Walsh!" "What's going on?" "There's a strange man in your room." "No, he's all right." "He's just here to take our breakfast order, eh, Eddie?" "That's right, Don." "Plus, I just gave him a quick bed bath." "He does tend to get a bit pongy after intercourse." "Argh!" "Argh!" "'And if that wasn't bad enough," "'I was getting out of his shower when suddenly...'" "Argh!" "All right?" "The toilet's blocked." "Dickhead won't pay to get it fixed." "Oh, get me out of here." "'And then the strangest thing...'" "Oh." "Ah, let me guess, you slept with Don, woke up to find an overgrown baby sat on the edge of the bed offering you some breakfast and then met an old lady who looks surprisingly similar to Gollum," "probably doing something incredibly vile?" "Urgh." "SHE GIGGLES" "No doubt she'll be ringing me up soon, requesting another session with the quim ninja." "Erm, she didn't look like a returner, to me." "Wait..." "Has there ever been a returner?" "Oh, you're so evil, Samantha." "Oh, poor Donald." "If it's any consolation, I think I'm just as bad with relationships as you are." "Right, I'm going to go for a bath, before uni." "Is the hot water back on, Eddie?" "Oh, you betsy." "Fixed the boiler last night." "Must tackle the loo next." "Eddie, what have I told you about coming into my bedroom when I've got a chicklet in there?" "Try to wash you very, very quietly?" "Exactly." "There is a massive shit in the bathtub!" "Gollum went poo-poo!" "Ah, Christmas." "The time for the sharing and giving." "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire." "Families together." "And, of course, Santa." "Well, two Santas... ..beating the crap out of each other." "Yep, that's me." "You probably want to know what's going on." "Let me take you back a few weeks, to the beginning of December." "Ho!" "Ho!" "Ho!" "Merry Christmas." "Guess what I've just got a job as?" "Erm..." "Elvis impersonator?" "No." "A lap dancer?" "God, no." "Roller skating waitress in a 1950s themed restaurant?" "That's a good one!" "No!" "I'm the local community centre's new Santa Claus." "No, I don't see it." "What happened to Greg Pitcher?" "He's been doing Santa for years." "Oh no, poor Mr Pitcher can't do it this year." "How come?" "I can't remember." "I think he's got a cold or something." "Oh no, that's it!" "He was caught having sexual intercourse with a child." "Ho!" "Ho!" "Ho!" "Merry Christmas!" "Hang on, what about Gollum?" "I thought you were meant to be looking after her." "Oh no, that's the great thing, I get to bring her along." "All right?" "The kids adore her!" "Argh!" "It's a massive rat!" "They give her all kind of pet names." "Eddie I'm hungry, make me dinner." "Now, Dot, that's not really the way to ask, now is it?" "Oh, BLEEP off, you bleeping BLEEPing BLEEP." "I'm telling you, she is getting worse." "I have never met an old person like her." "You know, the other day she asked me if I used a vibrator." "Eugh!" "Do you?" "That is not the point." "What is the point?" "She asked if she could borrow it." "Oh!" "And did she?" "Oh you!" "'I'm still crazy about Sam." "'I'm starting to think I've missed my opportunity.'" "I don't know what's wrong with me." "I use to be so confident." "But with Sam, I'm just nervous she's going to knock me back."

"'The art galley closed down, so I had to get a proper job." "And it sucks.'" "Urgh!" "You couldn't just have worn some socks?" "But I hate wearing foot shoes." "I like to let my toes breathe." "'I hate everything about this job, especially my boss.'" "Don." "Can I have a word, please?" "'Oh no, Jason's not my boss, not any more, anyway.'" "Do you want to grab some lunch?" "Oh, yes, please." "Hello, where do you think you're going, Pops?" "'This is my boss.'" "Oh, lunch." "It's 12.59." "Yeah, lunch is at one." "It's not one, though, is it?" "It's 12.59."

"Why do you keep calling me old?" "We're practically the same age." "I don't think so, Gramps." "I'm 24, what are you, 40?" "I'm 29!" "Ha!" "All right I'm 30...something." "Yeah." "'Jason also got a job in the shopping centre." "He is the manager of a posh supermarket.'" "I miss the art gallery." "We used to have such a laugh, didn't we?" "Don, you were the bane of my life." "Oh, thanks, Jace!" "'I never would have predicted it, but we've become good friends.'" "Where are you going to be this Christmas?" "Just at home on my own, I guess." "That's depressing." "Yeah." "Do you always spend it alone?" "No, not always." "Merry Christmas, Mr Homeless Man." "Merry Christmas, Don." "Ooh, somebody's had too much!" "No, no turkey this year, but I've got a lovely big ham." "I'm afraid you are just for Christmas." "So you still not made a move on Sam yet?" "No." "Why?" "Her and Brian broke up ages ago." "Oh, we're getting on really well at the moment." "I don't want to balls it up...again." "I'm waiting for the right moment." "A little advice - don't dilly-dally too long." "Sam's a beautiful woman." "Someone else will get in there if you don't hurry up." "'So, life was pretty shit - 30-something, single, terrible job and I live with this.'" "This cup of tea tastes of BLEEPing BLEEP!" "Dorothy Treacher, if you continue acting like a child, I shall put you across my knee." "Oh BLEEP this BLEEP, I'm going for a bath." "What the hell?"

"No, that's all right, I agree with you." "That's why I mainly do home visits." "It upsets me to see the elderly being thrown out by their families, like they're being tossed in a bin." "Come on, Eddie, she's getting out of hand." "Try and get her in an old people's bin." "Don!" "Sorry." "Try and get her in an old people's bin, please." "That's better." "There's no hot water." "Oh, not again." "I've only just fixed the boiler." "How am I meant to have a bath?" "I'm sorry, Dot, you will have to..." "Oh, dear God!" "Dorothy, put some clothes on immediately." "Why?" "Too arousing for you?" "BLEEP." "I can't believe I just saw Gollum's ning-ning." "I can't believe she's got a Brazilian!" "I think it might be time to get rid of the old boiler." "That's what I have been saying, she's nuts in the mind." "What?" "No, I'm talking about the boiler - the pressure vessel for heating water." "Oh, right." "Yeah, come on, landlord, step up to your responsibilities." "Excuse me, but do you know how much a boiler costs these days?" "No, how much?" "No I'm asking, do you know how much?" "Because I've already got to fork out for the toilet, the roof's leaking, the whole place is falling apart and I'm skint." "I'm telling you, I'm going to need a miracle." "What's that?" "This morning's post." "Oh, will you please put some clothes on?" "It's like a large pale raising's walking about the place." "Oh God." "I think it's from my solicitors, Smith and Bitchman." "How can you tell?" "Well, it says it's from my solicitors, Smith and Bitchman." "Oh." "Great just what I need." "More bad news about the house." "John Bon Jesus!" "What is it?" "Is it bad?"

"Ah, Dot, are you sure you should be drinking that now?" "Don't be such a poof!" "Eddie, I've been thinking." "After she's moved out, there's no real reason for you to be here?" "I'd still like to come over and help out around the house." "Nothing's changed there." "But I'm moving out soon." "It's time I got used to doing things on my own - without you and Treacher." "And..." "Sam." "But I..." "I' ve already thought about this." "What if..." "Sorry." "But I..." "No." "Maybe..." "I can't." "Don..." "No." "What if..." "I'm sorry." "Don..." "Please." "Don't." "Please... ." "No." "I can't..." "Stop this madness!" "Look, it's been great having you around, but I just think we all have to accept it's the end of an era." "OK?" "Absolutely." "What are you doing?" "Come on." "No, no, no." "Come on." "Ow." "What have I told you about hugging me?" "If I ever do it again, you'll kick me the penis?" "Yes." "Now, if you don't mind, I'm feeling depressed and horny, so I'm going to go upstairs and masturcry." "Goodnight." "Masturcry?" "Mastur..." "Oh!" "Oh." "'So on Christmas Day 2011, Eddie took Dorothy Treacher to her new home.'" "So, welcome to your new home, Dorothy." "Not very attractive, are they?" "Oh, it's a companion you're after, is it?" "Companion, fuck-buddy, sex opponent - whatever you want to call it." "Could we just have a moment, please?" "Of course." "Dot." "What?" "What did I tell you about how to behave in this place?" "Behave as badly as possible?" "'Meanwhile, I was spending Christmas Day all on my lonesome." "'At least next year, I'll have loads of money and a new bachelor pad." "'# Tra la la la la, la la la la. #'" "So, hello, Samantha." "Welcome to your Christmas present." "I've never been very good at expressing myself, always seem to say the wrong thing, so I've decided to write you a song." "I hope you like it."

"You want Christmas pudding, don't you, Samantha?" "What's that, Gollum?" "You want to pull a cracker?" "Yeah, sure, OK." "Grab hold of it." "I win." "You're all right, aren't you?" "You haven't had a heart attack." "DOORBELL RINGS" "Oh, I suppose I've got to get that, have I?" "DOORBELL RINGS" "Is the doorbell actually ringing or is that part of this strangely vivid hallucination I'm having?" "DOORBELL RINGS" "All right, I'll get it." "Hey." "What are you doing back?" "Surprise!" "'I couldn't believe it." "Abby Jones, the girl I used to have 'a big thing for, sitting in my living room again." "'I hadn't seen her in over two years." "We spent ages catching up.'" "Let me get this straight, you flew to New Zealand, met a guy, you came back, got married, flew back to New Zealand, got divorced and now you're back again." "You make it sound like we were barely married." "How long were you together for?" "Six months." "Yeah." "All right." "Sorry." "So, I was hoping that there might be room at the inn." "Which inn?" "Can I crash here for a few days?" "Oh, right, yes." "Of course you can." "It's just until I get the courage to go home and face the music." "You can stay as long as you like." "You can have my bed if you want." "Don't be daft, I'm fine on the sofa." "Are you insane in the mind?" "It's freezing down here and we've only got one heater." "I don't mind sharing, that will keep us warm." "Head to toe, like a sleepover?" "Hmm, sleepover." "Don Danbury, you have not changed." "You mean I haven't aged?" "Thank you very much." "I wasn't saying that." "Oi!" "I'm just going to go and check to see what state my room's in." "Don!" "Oh." "Sorry, I didn't know that Don had company." "I'm Abby." "Abby." "Yeah, right, Don's mentioned you." "Sorry, you are?" "Sam, Don's...flatmate." "He didn't mention he had a flatmate." "He didn't?" "No, of course he didn't." "I mean, why would he?" "Abigail, are you coming up or what?" "It was really lovely to meet you, Sam." "No, no, they're a bit tight." "They're pinching me." "Can I have a word?" "You can have two if you like." "One of them's "off"." "Don, I've come to apologise." "It's a bit late, innit?" "Please, can we talk in private?" "Lover's tiff?" "Look, Don, I'm sorry, OK?" "Are you?" "Are you sorry?" "Are you actually sorry?" "You know, I have feelings too." "I've been besotted with Sam for ages." "I've had to sit here and listen to you go on and on about it." "How about you listen to how I feel?" "I listen." "I'm a great listener." "People call me "The Listener"." "Look, I thought about what I did to you and, yeah," "I could have handled it better." "I'm sorry." "I'm actually quite ashamed." "Look, if I'm being honest, I'm just a bit lonely, Don, and I just want to be..." "You think we could complete in two days?" "Don!" "I'll call you back." "Sorry, what?" "Never mind." "So, anyway, I hear Abby's back in town, right?" "How did you hear about that?" "Well, Sam told me." "You've seen Sam?" "Where is she?" "She hasn't been to the house." "Well, you're shacked up with Abby, aren't you?" "I'm not shacked up with Abby!" "That's what Sam seems to think." "What?" "No!" "No!" "I don't get it." "Why does she think you are, then?" "Oi, Abigail, are you coming up or what?" "It was really lovely to meet you, Sam." "Hey." "Hey." "You didn't tell me you had a gorgeous new flatmate!" "Oh, what, Sam?" "Yeah." "She's been here a while now." "She seems really nice." "How would you know?" "I just met her." "Downstairs." "Sam!" "Sam?" "Are you sure it was her?" "No, you're right, I must have imagined talking to her." "I don't get it." "Don, what is going on?" "This may be the most grown-up thing I've ever said, but I don't think I can sleep with you tonight." "We were only sharing a bed." "Yeah, but it might have led to something." "It wouldn't." "It might, you know what it's like." "It wouldn't have." "Cuddling, spooning." "It really wouldn't have." "Don't get me wrong, I used to have a crush on you." "I can't believe I finally admitted that!" "See?" "I can express myself." "I'm growing up." "But I love Sam." "She's the first person I've ever developed a proper connection with." "'I waited up all night for Sam to return." "'But she never did.'" "So now, she won't even return my calls." "SOBBING" "Dude, are you crying?" "You really love her, don't you?" "And she doesn't even know it." "Hey." "Hey, there, there." "I'm sorry." "I'm just an old romantic at heart." "You're telling me!" "Hey, listen, if the Bridges of Madison County ever comes on your telly, switch it over." "That would floor you!" "Yeah!" "People can see us!" "Come on, Jase, tell me where Sam is, please." "She's staying at mine." "What are you doing?" "I'm going to see her." "She's out." "She knew you'd be out, so she went to get her stuff from your place." "Donald!" "We need to have words." "Look, I'm sorry, but I've got to go." "I don't think so, Mister, come here, immediately." "I'll deal with this." "Go!" "Get out of the way." "Get out!" "I will step over you." "Sam!" "Sam?" "Has Sam been back here?" "Yes, she left about 20 minutes ago." "She was in a bit of a panic." "What do you mean?" "She mentioned a message on the answer machine." "She was a bit frosty with me, to be honest, so I just kept out of her way." "'Hi, there, this is Belinda Myers from the Elderly Centre." "'We're having a bit of an emergency with Dorothy Treacher and wondered 'if you could pop down as soon as possible.'" "I didn't know people still had an answering machines!" "I didn't know WE had one." "Listen, Abby, I need your help." "I've got to try and win Sam back." "I'm all yours." "What do you need?" "KNOCK AT DOOR" "Please open the door, Dorothy." "Treach, it's me, Sam." "I just swung by for a visit." "Hey, is everything OK?" "Thanks for coming." "It's all right, I'm here for her." "Right, she's locked herself in her room..." "No, no, no, I'm here for HER." "We need to talk." "Don, we're worried about Treacher." "She's been in there for ages." "I'm not with Abby." "I never was." "Well, what's she doing here, then?" "She just gave me a lift." "I wanted to help him get to you." "What's going on?" "I'm trying to win Sam back." "Actually, we're trying to help Dorothy." "We're trying to help Dorothy, but while they're doing that, I'm trying to win Sam back." "I'll go for the door." "I saw her go up to you." "Then I came back down, but you were gone." "Sam, you have always been the one for me." "We're the same." "Do you really think this can work?" "I mean, we are both terrible at relationships." "Exactly, we're the same." "Please open the door, Dorothy." "I listened to that song you wrote." "And?" "I loved it." "Holy Costner." "For BLEEP sake, Henry, will you just get it in me." "It's no use, Dorothy." "Too many creases and wrinkles and I can't tell which one's your muffin." "I'm sorry, but in all the time I've worked here," "I've never seen such disgusting things." "And I've worked here for three weeks." "She's a bad influence." "She's been here for six days and she's created chaos." "She steals medication, she crushes her pills and snorts them, uses profanities at the top of her voice, she walks around in the nude, she sexually dominates the weaker gentleman." "ALL:" "Aw!" "Classic Treacher." "It pains me to say this, but we're going to have to let her go, I'm sorry." "No!" "What?" "You can't do that." "She's got nowhere else to go." "I got here as quick as I could." "Why?" "I don't know." "Eddie, can you look after her for a while, just till we find another place to go?" "I'd love to, but I'm sleeping in the Santa van at the moment." "Living the American dream." "Stop it." "Sorry." "Could you do it?" "Me?" "No, I can't." "I don't know where I'm going to be." "I'll take her." "What?" "No, she'll just have to find another place again when you move out." "Not if I don't sell." "Guys, I spent one day in that house on my own and I almost went insane." "All right, I went insane." "Look, you're my family and I missed you." "Yes, even Gollum, believe it or not." "That will be a lot of money you are turning down." "I don't care." "I'm willing to make that sacrifice." "You see, I'm growing up and taking some responsibility." "And now that I've grown up and become a man, there's just one last thing I need to say to you." "What's that?" "Will you come out with me?" "SHE LAUGHS" "Oh..." "Yes!" "Oh, why did you wait that long?" "!" "That was like an X Factor result pause!" "That was horrible!" "Come here." "I told you it would work, didn't I?" "Dot?" "What?" "What did I tell you about how to behave in this place?" "Behave as badly as possible?" "Exactly." "Hey, you're not going to grow up too much, are you?" "Because I quite like the fact that you're a bit of a fuckwit." "Hmm. "Cool-smart"." "Come on, everybody!" "Ten..." "ALL:" "Nine...eight..." "Wait, is it the time already?" "ALL: ..six..." "No, it's just gone six." "They need to be in bed, so we're pretending it's 12 already." "ALL: ..two...one..." "ALL:" "Happy New Year!"
