[English]

[Knock at door]

Nick?

It’s Mummy and Daddy, dear.

Welcome to Casa de Nick.

Your mother thought she'd just pop over,

and check the place out.

Come on, let's go.

What's wrong, Mum?

Aww. Tears of joy...

To see her son doing so well.

Stop it!

Be strong.

No, I'm fine.

Just overwhelmed at how...

lovely your place is.

Cool.

Well, let me give you the grand tour.

This is the kitchen.

This is the living room.

This is the dining room.

This is the master bedroom.

So many rooms.

And where’s the loo?

Oh, dear God.

No, Mum.

That's just for the leak in the ceiling.

Loo’s through there.

Of course.

I'll just go and freshen up.

Hold on.

What are you doing?

Well, I've only got one bulb,

so I have to move it from room to room.

Never mind.

Eugh. I'm fine.

Cool, eh?

You know, I’m thinking of making a few improvements.

Maybe taking out this wall.

You do that one more time and you’re a dead man.

Good old Viv.

It’s that sort of relationship.

Anyone for tea?

Oh, lovely. That would be nice. No! Lovely...

Oh, I've missed you.

I've missed you.

I don't believe it.

My son is struggling to survive in this desolate hellhole,

and all you're going to do is watch the telly.

I’m not going to watch it, Susan.

I'm going to take it home.

The telly’s not the only thing that's coming home.

No, no you don't.

No way.

No. For the first time in his life,

Nick is standing on his own two feet.

But he's standing in excrement!

[Knocking on door]

Get down!

Don’t make any noise.

Hey, Harper.

You owe me rent.

I know you're in there.

I saw the light, you lazy son of a pig's nipple.

For your information,

that's the pig's nipple you're referring to.

And no one is allowed to speak about my son that way,

except me.

I've earned it.

Dad-

It’s alright, Nick. I'll handle this.

And as far as a shameful excuse for a flat goes,

you're very lucky to get a penny of his hard-earned money.

But, Dad-

Quiet, Nick.

So, the next time you ask for rent, I suggest you ask politely.

Believe me, you don't want me on your bad side.

I'm a dentist.

Oh, Ben.

That was wonderful.

Except the part about the pig's nipple.

There's no reason to shout at Nick like that.

Actually, he has. I lost my job at the pub.

I'm a week behind on my rent,

and I haven't eaten for two days.

Ohhh!

Well, if there's anything we can do.

Come on, Susan, let's go. Sounds like Nick's busy.

So, are you gonna pay?

No, he's coming home with us.

Cool, I'll just get my things.

No!

Wait.

Let's just think about this because, look...

What sort of lesson would it be if we let Nick

give up every time life gets difficult?

You know, I mean, if it means me having to pay a month's rent

just to keep him here,

that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

And 100 up front to cover the damages. Cash.

Yep, yep. Fine. Fine.

Damages?

This flat is a masterpiece.

As a matter of fact, when I get home,

I'm gonna do up the entire house just like it.

Hurry up with the money, dear.

Cheque for the rent will be in the post.

Bye, dear.

Love what you've done with the place.

Thanks, mate.

Same time next month?
