33:27how's that still nothing you know telling your dad you play basketball with a friend isn't going to
33:35make him think you're in a relationship what before when you're on the phone you said you're hanging
33:40out with tash i was there too yeah i just i didn't think but didn't think it was important or you didn't

34:56tidy up set the table and by tidy up you mean watch tv ah you know me too well
35:01oh i thought you're on a budget someone left here after the party
35:12to paying bills and freedom and not feeling pressured
35:20oh hang on this letter's for you oh maybe it's a love letter that's not the police again
35:26no one's for real estate this doesn't make any sense dear miss williams you're informing you that
35:38there will be an open inspection of your property 32 rim selling the house on whose authority
35:48actually adan and i were talking about your place hey do you think you could go with a danish as well
35:54tash you've got to see the bigger picture here maybe just a biscuit your house is going to get
35:58sold no matter how much you try and abuse anyone who comes through i know unless you make your dad a
36:05better offer i can't afford to buy a house you could always try and rent it look i know you're avoiding
36:13your dad but it's worth asking him about it we'd have to present him with a done deal all the tenants
36:21already lined up that way he couldn't knock us back hang on us yeah you could move in with me
36:28permanently right um sure i mean i mean i'd have to ask my parents yeah great well all we need is a
36:34third person to cover the rent then uh someone we know someone hot someone with a job someone like
36:45me yeah why not how much thought have you given this i don't know tash and i can't afford a place
36:53by ourselves we need a third person you're the obvious choice chris why would i move out of my
36:59own flat and into a share house unless you're asking me to move in with you what no not like that
37:05not that i don't want to move in one day but it's just a bit too just relax okay i know you really
37:10didn't think this through did you nope i am an idiot no you're not i'd be wrapped to move in with
37:16you just not yet but i think it's great that you're moving out of home you know you're gonna love it
37:22hmm not sure about doing my own laundry though so what did your dad say oh chris you are hopeless
37:28just call him and tell him it'll be fine
37:30i wish a nerd said yes no he's right though i didn't really think about it it's fine we'll find
37:41someone else so how did your dad sound how does he always sound kind of grumpy i just don't get it
37:50you're not a kid anymore you are allowed to move out of home in families like mine tash it's not that
37:58simple he's here go christos hey dad did you talk to mum she was very upset moving out temporarily
38:17is one thing leaving forever that's difficult for her i know families are meant to be together
38:24i lived at home well past your age things are a bit different these days dad i'm not happy about
38:31this chris right but i'm not going to stand in the way of your happiness
