01:01Angelo, you idiot!
01:03Didn't I tell you it was a dumb idea
01:05to build a stupid bobsleigh run out in the garden?
01:07Look what you did!
01:09Yeah, I know.
01:10Still, it's only a few scratches.
01:12They'll paint over.
01:13Not the bobsleigh bagel head.
01:15I'm talking about that house.
01:17What the heck's Angelina gonna say?
01:19Oh, well, it'll probably go something like that.
01:21Angelo!
01:23Oh!
01:25You are...
01:27burger meat, buster!
01:29Good morning, Rita.
01:31Good morning, Melanie.
01:33Listen, I must simply get a snapshot of this.
01:36Send it in to Bobsleigh Monthly.
01:38I've always wanted to get my name mentioned in Bobsleigh Monthly.
01:41Oh, don't worry, it will be.
01:43In the obituary column.
01:44Angelo, this isn't a good time for taking photographs.
01:47Not unless you're taking them on the first plane out of the country.
01:50Oh!
01:51I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
01:54Oh, yes, I do.
01:57Oh!
02:00You'd better get this shambles cleaned up,
02:02and I don't mean tomorrow.
02:06Oh.
02:07You could at least have managed to smile.
02:14I are in!
02:16I've been waiting for hours, Rita, hours.
02:18Phone constantly engaged.
02:20Maximum frustration.
02:21This iPhone is off the hook.
02:23Jump into JAG, come over here as fast as I can,
02:25great neck speed.
02:26Mr. Fogle.
02:27Rita, your ship has come home.
02:29Yes, oh, yes.
02:32Two sugars and a thread of milk in the tea.
02:35Yes, your ship, boop, boop, has come home.
02:41Some entrance.
02:42Oh, Mr. Fogle.
02:44Just ignore the chaos in there.
02:46We had a little accident and it...
02:48What?
02:50Oh, sorry, Rita.
02:51I would have been quicker,
02:52but it took a lifetime for the putty to dry.
02:56Well, if it isn't Howard Fogle.
03:00If it isn't Howard Fogle,
03:02it's some fat bald bloke doing Howard Fogle impressions.
03:05Angelo!
03:06Oh, Mr. Fogle.
03:08Ah, it is Mr. Fogle.
03:10How is Mrs. Fogle and the little Foglettes?
03:12We are...
03:13A cup of tea and a cup of coffee would be nice, Angelo.
03:16That's Rita's very special way of saying,
03:18Get out of my face, freak show!
03:24I am sorry, Mr. Fogle.
03:26Oh, never mind that, Rita.
03:27Now, look, I know it's Saturday, your day off and all that rubbish,
03:31but something very big has just come up.
03:33Oh, I can get you a good ointment for that.
03:37Yeah?
03:38Well, I'm all ears.
03:40I can't get you a good ointment for that.
03:45One word.
03:46One lovely word sums it all up.
03:50Ruggles.
03:52Ruggles.
03:53Ruggle, ruggle, ruggles.
03:55Oh, ruggles!
03:56The people who make the top-of-the-range sports trainers' ruggles.
03:59Mm-hmm.
04:01Ta-da!
04:04You mean...
04:06Get out of here.
04:08We landed the ruggles trainers' account?
04:11We landed the ruggles trainers' account.
04:14Wowee-dowee!
04:17Their advertising campaign is global.
04:19It must be worth a fortune.
04:21Six million lovely...
04:23What do you call them?
04:24Baccarolis.
04:25Oh, we're so thrilled.
04:29Now I want you to drop everything else
04:31and concentrate solely on writing slogans for the ruggles advertising campaign.
04:36You are kidding.
04:38No, I'm not.
04:39You are.
04:40Really?
04:41Incontrovertibly, you are fast and you are the best.
04:45The darndest best.
04:47Oh, that is just great.
04:49Thank you, Mr. Fogle.
04:50Now then, I want ideas.
04:52Ideas.
04:53I promised Rosalind Ruggles
04:54that we would have sales of those suckers
04:56surely through the loop by the end of the month.
04:58I want inspired ideas now.
05:01Now?
05:04I'll give you a clue.
05:05He's your Auntie Rita's boss,
05:06and his name's Howard Fogle.
05:08Howard Fogle?
05:09Howard Fogle?
05:10Auntie Rita's boss?
05:11Oh, the boy's intellect is frightening.
05:14He's doing her on a Saturday.
05:16Well, he's staying with us
05:18while his mum and dad are on a Mediterranean cruise.
05:21Not Mike, Mr. Fogle.
05:23Yeah, isn't this Auntie Rita's day off?
05:25Well, it was. Not anymore.
05:27Sounds to me like Fogle dumped something on her.
05:30Boo.
05:31I'd better bring through some kitchen towels.
05:33But Mike, wasn't she going to take us to the pictures this afternoon?
05:37Yeah, she was.
05:38Hey, listen, I wouldn't go through there.
05:40There's a lot of heavy thinking going on.
05:42Auntie Rita!
05:43No.
05:44Here.
05:45Let me think straight here.
05:47Auntie Rita!
05:48Shush!
05:49Didn't you promise us that...
05:50Oh, what?
05:52What, were those Ruggles trainers?
05:54Where'd you get them?
05:55Maybe she's the best.
05:57Can I try them on?
05:58What size are they?
05:59Mike, pictures.
06:00Run, run, run with Ruggles!
06:02Boy, I'd give my left leg to have a pair of these.
06:05Run with Ruggles, run with Ruggles.
06:07Not bad, not bad, not great.
06:10Next.
06:11Ruggles.
06:12These are terrific, so comfortable.
06:15The way they snuggle your feet.
06:19Snuggle.
06:20Snuggle.
06:22Ruggles snuggle.
06:23Ruggles snuggle.
06:24Ruggles snuggle.
06:25Ruggles snuggle.
06:26Ruggles snuggle.
06:27Ruggles snuggle.
06:28Ruggles snuggle.
06:29Ruggles snuggle.
06:30Ruggles snuggle.
06:31Snuggle!
06:32Here's your buckle, Mr. Buckle.
06:34Oh, wonderful, I can just see it.
06:36I can see it forming before my eyes.
06:38Posters.
06:39Great, huge posters.
06:41Huge posters by the roadside.
06:43By the roadside and smaller ones too.
06:45Newspapers and magazines.
06:47Full page spreads.
06:49Has to be full page, has to be vibrant, has to be in color.
06:52Definitely.
06:53Has to be in color.
06:54Drawings, photographs.
06:55Photographs.
06:56Caption.
06:57Ruggles snuggle.
07:00I love it.
07:02You're a genius and I'm off.
07:07Well, if Madam Ruggles doesn't love this idea, then my name is Ellen of Troy.
07:12Of course, we'll have to find a good kid.
07:15Claire?
07:16Yes.
07:19I hate working with kids.
07:23The posters are messy.
07:27What about Mike?
07:29He could do the advert.
07:31He could model for you.
07:32Angelo, I don't think that's a good idea.
07:34Ah, Rita, look at him.
07:36He's cute, he's sporty, he looks a million dollars in those trainers, eh?
07:40No, no, no, I'm not really cut out for that.
07:42Oh, look at that face, Mr. Fogle.
07:45Cute.
07:46Oh, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
07:49Grab it while it's hot, Mr. Fogle.
07:51What are you, my agent or something?
07:53Has he ever done any modeling before?
07:55Of course he has.
07:57There's a room full of airplane kits up there.
08:00Photographic modeling.
08:02Well, we'll say no more on that score, Howard.
08:04Here, look.
08:05Take a butcher's at this.
08:10Yes, well, he's very photogenic.
08:12Oh, I wouldn't let that put you off.
08:15Well, I'll put it to Mrs. Ruggles to see what she thinks.
08:18Right, I must be off.
08:19Ciao, everybody.
08:20Ademane, ademane.
08:21Oh, right.
08:22Well, call me as soon as you hear anything, Mr. Fogle.
08:26Well, who's going to be an international celebrity, then?
08:29Get out of here.
08:30Get out of here.
08:32Your face could be more famous than Scott Winterbottom's.
08:35Who the heck's Scott Winterbottom's?
08:37See?
08:38You're more famous than he is already.
08:40Get out of here.
08:41They won't ask me to do it.
08:42I'm just a regular, ordinary kid.
08:44Right, Mel?
08:45Wrong.
08:46You happen to be very good looking.
08:49Gosh, just think.
08:51My Michael Mason, an international celebrity.
08:55You know, that would make me very proud.
08:58Very proud, indeed.
09:01Mr. Fogle!
09:02However, she doesn't like the blonde hair on Dave Black!
09:07She's a mad old coot, is Marceline Ruggles.
09:10But I tell you this, Rita.
09:12When she saw that photograph, I've never seen a face light up so brightly.
09:17You should have been here the night Angela set fire to my mother's headscarf.
09:20Ah, there he is, there he is.
09:23Hi.
09:24Look at that smile.
09:27That smile was stretched from here to Honolulu.
09:30Ooh, that could make brushing his teeth a bit complicated.
09:33Now then, Mike.
09:34You don't mind me calling you Mike, do you?
09:36Oh, no.
09:37The only things he minds people calling him are Cow Pat or Skunk Breath.
09:40That is, that is.
09:41Now then.
09:42Now, we must get the top photographer on this one.
09:44I want only the best.
09:45Oh, couldn't I take the photos?
09:47I've got all the clubber.
09:49No, I'm afraid not.
09:50Now then, um...
09:52Two o'clock, alright?
09:53Half past two?
09:54I mean, I was really looking forward to taking the pictures.
09:57I can take good pictures.
09:58I've been taking pictures all morning.
10:00I'll do even better once I've got some film in the camera.
10:02No.
10:03Did you hear me?
10:04No!
10:05Don't think you're listening, Mr. Fogel.
10:07My friend says he'd like to take the photographs.
10:09That's out of the question.
10:11Well, in that case, I quit.
10:13What?
10:14You can't quit.
10:15I mean, this is...
10:16I promise, Mrs. Ruggles.
10:18Surely you'll only do what she wants.
10:20I'll do it if you let my friend take the photographs.
10:22Hey, you...
10:23Michael!
10:24Michael, you...
10:25You...
10:26You...
10:27You can't go around making demands like this.
10:30Why not?
10:31It's my face, isn't it?
10:32If you want to use it, Angelo does the pictures.
10:34Is it a deal?
10:35Oh...
10:36Oh, very well.
10:39Yes, Mr. Fogel.
10:40I'm gonna kiss you.
10:43Mark my words.
10:44It had better be darn good.
10:46Relax, Mr. Fogel.
10:47Angelo can turn his hand to anything.
10:50It's not a turned hand that bothers me.
10:52It's the twisted arm.
10:54Rita, your employer is leaving.
10:57A very unhappy man.
10:59Auf Wiedersehen.
11:02Mr. Fogel, I'm...
11:09Oh, thanks, Mike.
11:10I owe you one, old buddy.
11:11Yeah, well, it pays to remember who's the celebrity around here.
11:13There is no way that guy's gonna push me about.
11:16I'm the star of this thing, right?
11:19Right.
11:21Come on, Mr. Photographer.
11:22Let's see some action here.
11:23Let's get set up here, huh?
11:25Come on, huh?
11:26Fit.
11:36Lord Litchfield, what's the holdup there?
11:39I've got to get my exposure right.
11:40I'm the one who's getting exposure here.
11:42Hey, hey, Rita, come on.
11:43We have the heat cranked up in here.
11:45I mean, police!
11:47Listen, you are beginning to get on my wick.
11:51Hey, Mel, come here a minute.
11:53Now what?
11:54Come here and I'll tell you.
11:59Is my forehead shining?
12:00No.
12:01Yes, it is.
12:02Look, it's catching the light.
12:03Powder.
12:04Powder.
12:05I already powdered it.
12:06Can you powder it again, please?
12:07Right.
12:08I've got to look my absolute best for this thing.
12:10People all over the place will be looking at my face in large.
12:12Fifty times.
12:13One single zit can come out the size of a satellite dish.
12:15You don't have any zits, Mike.
12:17You look all right.
12:18All right?
12:19What happened to very good looking?
12:20Forgive me.
12:21You're very good looking.
12:24Maybe I could use just a tad more shadow under the cheekbones.
12:26What do you think?
12:27Does it matter what I think?
12:29Gee, are you ever touchy?
12:30What's gotten into you?
12:31Nothing.
12:33Can we just do this and get it over with, please?
12:36Right.
12:37I'm all set.
12:39All right.
12:40How do you want me to stand?
12:41Like this?
12:43You look like you've got a hedgehog in your trousers.
12:46Relax, lovey.
12:47Be natural.
12:48Natural.
12:49OK.
12:51Ah.
12:52Yes, that's better.
12:53Good.
12:54Very good.
12:55Right.
12:56Here goes.
12:57And...
12:58Watch the biting!
13:04Ah.
13:05Now there's an expression I recognise.
13:07Hmm?
13:08Yeah, the one that says,
13:09I just found out something about someone I like that I never knew before.
13:13Oh.
13:14Yeah.
13:15I know, because I've been there myself.
13:18What's happened to him, Rita?
13:20It's like he's become a stranger or something.
13:22I hardly recognise him.
13:24Vanity, Melanie.
13:25That old drug vanity.
13:28I never thought someone like Mike would have reacted this way.
13:31It's horrible.
13:32Yeah.
13:33Men, huh?
13:34He's making a complete and utter fool of himself through there.
13:37It's pathetic.
13:38Well, there's no use getting upset about it, Melanie.
13:40You just have to rise above it.
13:42Hey, Rita, go get my other vest for me, will ya?
13:44And hurry!
13:46Right away, Michael.
13:49See, Melanie?
13:50Rise above it.
13:51And smile.
13:53Smile!
13:59Smile.
14:04Smile.
14:13I'd say this one's my favourite.
14:15Definitely.
14:16But I don't know, this one's pretty good too.
14:18Oh, but don't I just look great in this one?
14:21Well, let's face it, they're all stunning.
14:23Stunning?
14:24Oh, you're shirking my trumps this time, Angela.
14:26When this advert comes out,
14:27there's going to be a few million broken hearts around the world.
14:30I can't stand this a minute longer.
14:32Melanie.
14:33Just listen to yourself.
14:34You've turned into a vain, big-headed, conceited, arrogant...
14:39something or other.
14:40Prat.
14:41You do.
14:42Prat.
14:43Thanks, Angela.
14:44Melanie, I don't know what you're talking about.
14:46Oh, you don't?
14:47No.
14:48I'm talking about you, bubble brain.
14:49Ever since you got it into your head that you were going to be famous,
14:52you've been swanking around, showing off,
14:54and making yourself look totally ridiculous.
14:57There, I've said it.
14:59I'm embarrassed to be your girlfriend.
15:01Get it?
15:02Get it?
15:03Got it.
15:04Good.
15:05Wait a minute.
15:06Wait a minute.
15:07What are you trying to say?
15:08Mel?
15:09Mel?
15:10Well, that's sorted that out.
15:11Rita, Rita, Rita.
15:12Oh, Rita.
15:13Oh, Rita.
15:14Oh, Rita.
15:15Rita.
15:16Rita, Rita, Rita.
15:17Rita, Rita, Rita.
15:18Oh, Mr Fogel, you can make a fortune writing pop song lyrics.
15:23Oh, Rita, I've dropped the most terrible boo-boo.
15:27Oh, terrible, Rita.
15:28Terrible.
15:29Calm down.
15:30Calm down, Mr Fogel.
15:31Calm down, Mr Fogel.
15:32What's going on?
15:33What's happened?
15:34The photographs are ready, Mr Fogel.
15:35Look, what do you think?
15:36I think I could die.
15:37Mr Fogel, there's something wrong, isn't there?
15:40Nothing escapes this boy.
15:42Mr Fogel, tell us.
15:44Oh, it's about this Ruggles Snuggles ad.
15:49Yeah, what about it?
15:50It hasn't been cancelled, has it?
15:51No, it hasn't been cancelled.
15:53Meg-a-the-Mores Ruggles is keener than ever.
15:56So?
15:57What's the problem?
15:58Problem?
15:59I'll tell you what the problem is.
16:00You know, when she saw that silly snapshot and she said,
16:01that's the child I want.
16:02She didn't change her mind, did she?
16:03No, she didn't change her mind.
16:05Thank goodness.
16:06What?
16:07What?
16:08What?
16:09I can't bear this suspense.
16:10She didn't mean that snotty-nosed juvenile.
16:14This ring you gave me, you can just have it back.
16:17She meant that snotty-nosed juvenile.
16:19What?
16:21What?
16:24Behave like a big baby, Angelo.
16:26I'm such an idiot.
16:28Ah, you're not an idiot.
16:30You're not because you realised you behaved like a baby.
16:33Genuine idiots never realise it.
16:35I assume that was a compliment.
16:37If you want to prove how smart you are,
16:39you shouldn't be telling all this to me.
16:41Told to Melanie, right?
16:42Give that boy a coconut.
16:45I'm what they call a classical beauty, you know.
16:48Oh, the photographer said so.
16:50Of course, he's right.
16:52I hope they choose this one for the advert.
16:54It's got everything.
16:55Luscious lips.
16:56Smouldering eyes.
16:58Devastating smile.
17:04Hello, Melanie.
17:06Oh, hello.
17:08Well, it's time I was going.
17:10Wait a minute.
17:11I have something to say.
17:12You've always got something to say.
17:14I'm sure you must be dead jealous they chose me instead of you.
17:17Well, that's just tough, isn't it?
17:19Serves you right.
17:20I know.
17:21Pardon me?
17:22It serves me right for being a loudmouth on a show-off.
17:25The whole deal went to my head.
17:27It was stupid.
17:28I was stupid.
17:30I want to apologize to everybody for being a pain in the neck.
17:33Okay.
17:34Bravo.
17:35Also, I think it's great you're going to be famous.
17:38You deserve it.
17:39You're much better looking than I am.
17:40No, I'm not.
17:41You are.
17:42My, that's rubbish.
17:43Anyway, what I'm sorry to say is I'm proud of you.
17:47It wouldn't have happened to a nicer girl.
17:49Hey, hey, it's Howard.
17:51I bet he's got the advert with him.
17:52Yeah, he said he'd be ready today.
17:54Great.
17:55Come on.
17:58Oh!
17:59Is he here?
18:00Get off, get off.
18:01Message ready.
18:02You better brace yourselves.
18:03Oh, yeah?
18:07Why?
18:10Brace yourselves.
18:13Wow.
18:14Will you look at that?
18:16Oh, it's fantastic.
18:17It's stunning.
18:18Wow.
18:19Yes, I liked it too.
18:20Unfortunately, Mrs. Rosalind Ruggles hated it.
18:25And the trainers battled today.
18:27They're too chuffing.
18:29Oh, and the chuffing trainers.
18:31That was the end of that one.
18:33However, this one, this one she loved.
18:36This one she thought sensational.
18:39And this is the one we're going to use for our worldwide advertising campaign.
18:54Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling Clementine.
19:06Ah!
19:07Hi-ho!
19:09Hey, Presto!
19:15I don't believe it.
19:17Every time I come into this flaming nut house.
19:21Flaming nut house?
19:23I am burning you from setting foot in this house ever again.
19:53I am burning you from setting foot in this house ever again.
