(Margerie and Pete are planning there first holiday since there honeymoon, 12 years ago. They're going camping for the weekend with their 4 teenage children, Samantha, James, Lizzy, Nigel and their dog Dougal.)

Margerie: Come on children, come on, It's half past two and we said we'd leave at twelve.
Nigel: We've all been ready for the last hour we're waiting for you and dad.

Margerie: Actually, where on earth is your father
Samantha: I saw him this morning and wasn't very pleased, he said something about drugs and you.
Margerie: Okay, Where was he
Samantha: Oh, in the garage
(Margerie walks in to the garage)
Margerie: Pete, what an earth are you doing still packing
Pete: I do apologize but I don't believe I'm the one that wanted to put the dishwasher, the washing machine, the 42 inch plasma and the fridge in a Ford escort with the bloody dog as well.
Margerie: Oh you silly man, you silly, silly man. I said the 32 inch plasma not the 42 no wonder there is no space.
Pete: I am a silly man. What the hell was I on when I asked you to marry me. (muttering to himself)
Margerie: Oh and for goodness sake, do not forget the sunbeds.
Pete: We are not moving house, all this wouldn't fit in an Ikea lorry let alone a Ford escort, Just so you know, we are going camping in Scotland.
Margerie: I know dear and we have to prepare ourselves for the worst.
Pete: I don't think preparing ourselves for the worst means packing the whole house.Camping's not like being stranded on a desert Island. Anyway, I thought we agreed that we were going camping to free ourselves from the stresses and strains of everyday life. But, as long as I'm with you I'll never escape the stresses and strains of everyday life.
Margerie: Now, now dear we have no time for sweet talk, we've got work to do.
Pete: We've; got work to do, you've spent the whole morning powdering your nose.
Margerie: beauty takes time my dear
Pete: Well, by the look of you, you'd say that you don't have any time.
Margerie: (Doesn't hear)
Pete: Look, I think we are going to need to cut down the amount of luggage we are taking unless you want to hire a couple of transit vans.
Margerie: How much space is there left
Pete: Enough for 4 children, I think we may have to leave you at home.
Margerie: but we still have a bag each for the children and my 4 bags to fit in.
Pete: I'm aware of that but we haven't got the tent in yet. I think we are going to have to scrap the idea of taking all of the houses furniture.
