Daisy wants Onslow to pay her more attention and decides that a Toyboy is the answer!

7.5

"Good"

By Lady_Lancaster, Sep 23, 2009

Onslow is true to form in that he is more interested in munching crisps and watching television than he is in paying Daisy any romantic attention. After discussing the matter with Rose, Daisy decides that making Onslow jealous is the best way to go about things. Enter on the scene a 17-year-old biker whom Onslow finds VERYs interesting, because he smokes and Onslow can borrow cigarettes from him!

Meanwhile, over at the church hall, the members of the Ladies' Circle are in a flap because they are expecting a guest speaker to address them and Hyacinth, as usual, absolutely insists on arranging everything from the food to the seating!

It's outside the hall though where the real fun is taking place because while the Vicar is leading the outdoor prayers and the assembled members of the congregation are singing a hymn, Daisy, bedecked in leather, black stockings and heels arrives on the back of the motocycle, much to the surprise of Onslow and Richard, while Hyacinth, finding it all too much, falls into a dead faint, and is skillfully caught by Elizabeth!

Watch it, you'll be glad you did.moreless

ADD QUOTES
- Hyacinth: [After talking on the phone with Onslow] Oh, I hate talking to Onslow when he's only wearing a vest.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hyacinth: [Talking about Onslow] I can't imagine why Daisy married him. You play together as children and have all the strange childish fears about monsters - little do you dream that your sister's going to grow up to marry one.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hyacinth: [Phoning Daisy's house] Oh, it's you, Onslow, how are you? [Pauses while he answers] You needn't go into detail. This is merely an inquiry after your general health.
  EDIT SHARE
- Richard: (referring to Daisy showing up at the church on a motorbike with the 17-year-old) Onslow, I don't want to be personal, but… at the church hall just now… wasn't that Daisy? Onslow: Daisy? Richard: Your wife. Onslow: Oh, that Daisy. Richard: Didn't you think it was… funny? Onslow: I suppose I did, really. I never knew she liked motorbikes.
  EDIT SHARE
- Daisy: Suppose I just have to conclude that Onslow doesn't love me. Rose: Maybe underneath he loves you. Daisy: Underneath what? He's got practically nothing on.
  EDIT SHARE
- (Onslow's watching TV) Daisy: Onslow, I'm trying to tell you, your wife is in love with a 17-year-old! Onslow: That's disgusting, that is. Interrupting a bloke's prime time viewing. Anybody we know? (Daisy brings in Rose and the 17-year-old) Onslow: (looking at the 17-year-old) I thought he belonged to Rose? Daisy: He did… but they found they weren't compatible. Rose: Oh, he's nice enough. We just weren't compatible. Onslow: How old is he? Daisy: 17! Onslow: Is he old enough to smoke? (the 17-year-old takes out a pack and gives a cigarette to Onslow) Onslow: Oh, ta. 17-Year-Old: Keep the pack. Onslow: (taking the pack) Oh, cheers! (to Daisy) Do you think you can keep him interested 'til he's old enough to drink?
  EDIT SHARE
- Richard: (after Hyacinth gets a tie on him) I feel a bit overdressed. Hyacinth: I will not have you out there gardening with your shirts wide open. Next thing you know, you'll be looking like Onslow. Richard: Sometimes you have to admire Onslow's relaxed attitude to life. Hyacinth: Onslow's idea of what to do with a garden is to abandon an old car in it. Richard: But he enjoys life. Hyacinth: Exactly! What kind of irresponsibility is that?
  EDIT SHARE
- Hyacinth: Just a minute, where are you going, Richard? Richard: You wanted the roses deadheaded. Hyacinth: Aren't we forgetting something? Richard: I kissed you good morning. Didn't I kiss you good morning? Hyacinth: It's not that, dear. You're not wearing a tie. Richard: I-I-I'm gonna deadhead the roses. Hyacinth: I will not have you standing out in the street half-dressed. We have a social position to maintain.
