The Good Life1975

Tom:
What do you think?

Barbara:
I need to think.

Tom:
Garden?

Barbara:
Yes.

Tom:
[fetches wellies] Right. Left. Coat.

Barbara:
Coat. [leaves to pace in the garden]

Tom:
Piece of cake?

Barbara:
No thank you. [continues pacing] Do you want to sell up and buy a small holding in the country to do this?

Tom:
No, this isn't meant to be the full going back to nature thing, besides we love this house too much to sell it.

Barbara:
Self-sufficiency in Surbiton.

Tom:
Yes, I know it'll make the avenue look a bit odd.

Barbara:
No no. [continues pacing] I couldn't kill chickens.

Tom:
Alright, I'll chop their heads off with my black and decker while you're not looking.

Barbara:
[continues pacing] What happens when we need new clothes?

Tom:
I'll have made the loom by then. With the wool from the goat.

Barbara:
No no. [finishes pacing]

Tom:
Well? Well?

Barbara:
You're on.

Tom:
What?

Barbara:
We'll do it.

Tom:
Now, have you thought about this?

Barbara:
What do you think I've been doing? Taking my wellies for a walk?
