Gordon Brittas:

Gordon Brittas:
Meant to be doing something with you, was he, young Gavin?

Tim Whistler:
... yes. Sort of.

Gordon Brittas:

Tim Whistler:

Gordon Brittas:
I was unmarried once myself too, you know.

[Tim closes his eyes and leaves, absolutely horrified] [Angie hands him a box of tissues and a mug of coffee]
