Karl arrives home to Susan watering the garden.

KARL (in a broad accent): That's what I like to see - little lady doin' a spot of gardenin'! After you've given that a good soaking, you can mow the lawn and pull up some weeds, thanks, love.
SUSAN (threatens him with the garden hose): You watch it - I'm armed!

They start to discuss their plans for a holiday and yet again Susan is fixated on the idea of the gypsy caravan, which Karl thinks has been fed by too many romance novels. Susan asks where his sense of adventure is but Karl can only see the bad things like no air con or heating...

SUSAN: The gentle rocking of the cabin as the horse slowly moves along.
KARL: Yes, the motion sickness. Makes you stop every five minutes to have a good chunder.

He keeps matching Susan's positive points with negative ones so Susan asks him what he has in mind. Karl wants to go somewhere where someone else can pamper them for a change. Susan likes the sound of a five star country retreat but then keeps getting drawn back to the gypsy caravan.

Karl tells him the other party was uninsured and the ute is practically a write off. He's holding Billy responsible. Susan reminds Karl that the main thing is no one was seriously hurt; cars can be replaced. Karl accepts that but says Bill can forget about buying a car until he shows more responsibility. Susan tries to tell him to calm down but Karl's having none of it.

LILY: Well, heavens, why don't you gather me up and put me in a padded cell where I won't pose a danger to myself or anyone else?

He's as bad as the rest of them. Billy's only guilty of having some faith in her ability. She reasons that Nigel Mansell himself couldn't have avoided that accident!
