If yesterday's anything to go by Elizabeth's got a hands full trying to manage it the way Jim's going on it's his way or the highway Well I wish Jim and Elizabeth the very best in their endeavors. Are you sure you don't fancy helping out with a share I'm certain Elizabeth in the brief she ate it as you will with aware of it in it from Linda snow is a net man on the phone directing an evening of literature be right up your hoot of although we tease but I can't have people thinking I don't mean what I say Elizabeth South meet twice already I can change my mind now surely that's a lady's prerogative I reckon you should have a rethink perhaps it certainly it doesn't feel like Christmas around here without your scripts and a lot of weird and wonderful strewn all over the place where oh yes I know what you mean but unless an artist's decision is final. You have the right 1st No I'm not hungry I have another coffee you seem nervous Ok fine. Rex told me about the offer from b.l. Oh well it's not a secret I hear your trouble. Yeah I didn't realize we be getting into share farming I thought we were just renting the land round do business with someone like Justin you have to expect him to drive a hard bargain. I suppose I'm anxious about working with someone I have 0 trust plus moment I think he's a charlatan especially after the hold up to our business if we do go ahead and sign I think I'm an idiot you're not not always anyway it's always very out there no we're right in the level of it down to you stop what you need to stop worrying about what other people think you're using what your mom and dad might say about a deal with just him as an excuse for not making a decision and that's not fair on Rex or Phoebe. I hate it but you are right. It might be written David's daughter but you are a mother now to a proper grown up nobody else can make this decision except you that's exactly what's making me nervous well try and follow your heart. Thanks Toby. I will. And and he is Blithe Spirit you did a marvelous job with a set that yeah I was very proud of that one. When this is Jack in the bin still if I recall rightly you totally stole that share it's a slight exaggeration Well you know far too modest drop it stepping in at the last minute is front top of the camera. There in members not lighting rig was giving me all sorts of. I never thought I'd get no group has sorted. The matter what people think it's never easy putting on a show. Must be especially hard for Elizabeth in what way. Well she's on her own. There were no she's had a difficult time I don't just mean Nigel. Losing the Lockley alcohol license and Halloween debacle last year and that's without mentioning young Freddy in his issues. Yes she's had to be very strong and gotten a Freddie since he's been working at the hotel and I'm full of respect for him and he certainly doing everything he can to turn his life around on written Elizabeth's trying to do the same. Perhaps we ought to do what we can to help. How do you mean the show because she's obviously out of debt because she doesn't know about it or not but you do if you offered your services it might ease some of the pressure on. Roberts You are the Candace man in the world thank you me yes you've helped me to see the light as it were it's clearly in my role you know my duty to Dad Elizabeth as she endeavors to follow in my footsteps I should give her a call right away our rights that spirit in the. Anyway Josh and I are having a put together later to a bit cryptic but I know he wants me to get more involved in the machinery business which is great because I don't intend to end up being the guy who's only there to upload photos of tractors on to the website and I feel like I'm ready for some more responsibility great really great. Sigh please the state number could go to the nation's new market but I'd be following her dream not mine now look at my life I think the pigs the hens the machinery business now there's the rewilding on the go I haven't sealed the deal yet not yet. And I don't think just make me a partner or anything but it's all really positive would you want to go into partnership with Josh Well we get on fine but I never trust him because he's not Bella No No When I say trust that just. Don't know him as well as I know you can pick right I mean even when we disagree we say so everything's out in the open it's pretty healthy I reckon. Yeah. You're right it seems so but it tired maybe. Yeah and we're all totally upfront with each other rx this some think oh hi take a seat let us deep in discussion. Rex was just saying that he's found everything he's ever wanted in Ambridge being as any a joke. Pick Would you fancy to drink tea please maybe another coffee be great coming up. So nobody's happy well act can't deny there is a simple and satisfying pleasure that comes to helping once better than you were right of it I've just written to Elizabeth and I don't tell me you're back on the horse not quite but I have agreed to volunteer my services and assist with costumes and props Oh well it sounds like Russ needs all the help he can get poor man seems to have the art but is sadly lacking in the croft I'm surprised you want to be lumbered with the small jobs the robot darling there on his small jobs in theater but I shall be ensuring the nuts and bolts are in place so that the production can fly in the vision of the director is probably all needed very commendable indeed but I don't get it oh you directing I can't go back on my word robot with the fish think. And that had a much better idea which means I can still be involved but not so obviously you've lost me well I found the perfect person to direct the stories someone who has a way with Jim Lloyd and who were telling him until he is putty in his and could do you have caught me but composite since this is your moment drop it no more painting the settle fashioning weird and wonderful props your finally coming to the fore like Debbie Reynolds in singing in the radio beam Rendel Yes This way we'll both be supporting Elizabeth and ensuring that the Christmas production is a worthy successor to averages past glories but I've never directed anything before not even traffic and I'm not sure I fancy hanging out with the cast on a nightly basis well we can't that is a bit down now I've given you my word you can pretty intricate and if you have any problems you can always share with me I'm more than happy to lend a gentle guiding hand from behind the scenes. I've been thinking about what you said Phoebe and you're right I've been fixating on Justin the fact is this deal is with b.l. And I respect the fact that your grandad and the rest of the board and decent people there we do need to go to something I'm just me finish I've made a decision and this is the opportunity of a lifetime if we don't go for the deal with b.l. Then we're going to lose Peggy's money I think we should definitely sign really nasty names you know Chopin you're absolutely sure you have their eye I mean I'm still nervous. To stop Yes I might not trust Justin but I do trust you to complete this can only work if our slow are united and honest with each other we were saying that before when we Phoebe Yeah so it did you want to add something Phoebe. And I think we have to. I think we have to make sure we sign the contract in good times that the trust can release the fast payment before Christmas Yeah absolutely yeah we want to get this going as soon as possible I'll get in touch with justin then arrange a time for us all to get together and go over the paperwork home where you are actually going to do this. Welding is finally coming to our. Team has to work yeah through life one for all and all for one always.
