:15:00
the wife and baby
:15:01
the job and the mortgage
:15:02
the answer is yes-- I am
:15:04
strangely enough.
:15:06
I believe you.
:15:07
There's nothing wrong
in any of that.

:15:10
Okay, no problem.
:15:11
Just surprised
:15:13
that's all.
:15:14
Chris Lloyd
:15:15
happy ever after in Metroland.
:15:19
Who'd have
thought it?

:15:28
They're already calling
them the sexy '60s.

:15:31
Sexy, saucy '60s.
:15:32
Oh, it gives you
a hard-on just saying it.

:15:34
Yeah, Brigitte Bardot,
Anna Karina

:15:36
Francoise Dorleac.
:15:37
Think of the sex
going on

:15:38
in France.
:15:39
Ifwe were in Paris now...
:15:42
Strolling down
:15:43
the Boulevard St. Germain.
:15:45
Stopping chatting
with friends

:15:47
kissing on
both cheeks.

:15:48
Pernod and coffee
with Sartre and de Beauvoir

:15:51
at Les Deux Magots.
:15:52
Not much point being
a boulevardier

:15:54
in the suburbs, is there?
:15:56
No boulevards
for a start

:15:57
and Acacia Avenue
doesn't have

:15:58
quite the same appeal.
:15:59
I tell you one thing
:16:00
to be said in favor
of nuclear war:

:16:02
At least this place
would go up in smoke.

:16:04
Imagine that,
the whole of Metroland

:16:05
disappearing in one
brilliant, blinding flash.

:16:08
A million sand wedges
:16:09
melted into scrap.
:16:11
Smoldering mountain
of occasional tables.

:16:14
Middlesex's topiary
incinerated in an instant.

:16:16
Could you throw us
our ball back, please?

:16:20
[Echoing Laughter]
:16:24
[ Man ]
Talk to yourself.

:16:25
Only the bloody English.
:16:28
[ Toni ]
Tennis in the rain.

:16:30
Tsk.
:16:31
Poor sods.
:16:32
Pathetic, isn't it?
:16:33
And what will they all
:16:35
end up doing?
:16:36
Bank managers, the lot of them.
:16:37
Oh, they can't all
be bank managers.

:16:40
'Course they can.
:16:41
Metroland was built
for bank managers.

:16:43
Actual bank managers.
:16:45
Retired bank managers.
:16:46
Student bank managers.
Baby bank managers.

:16:48
It's like
Invasion ofthe BodySnatchers.

:16:50
Instead of aliens--
:16:51
bank managers.
:16:52
Yeah.
:16:54
Not me.
