Coffee Shop - Kitchen
Gloria tells Harold it's not how it looks and offers an explanation - she wasn't serving Bob a beer, she was confiscating it. Harold doesn't believe her and tells her off.

But she never served them alcohol, she just turned a blind eye when they brought their own in. Harold is incensed and says he would be fined if the Licensing Board found out. Gloria promises it won't happen again. Harold says he knows it won't - because Gloria is sacked! She hangs up her apron sadly.

Just then, Dorothy comes up.

JOE: Oh, talking of rabid animals...
DOROTHY: Mr Mangel. Are you planting trees?
JOE: No, I'm building a block of flats!

He suggests that he'll maintain her garden for nothing, as long as she keeps the fence where it is. Dorothy says that gardening is a passion of hers - she loves it. Also, she wants to grow her own vegetables. Joe suggests that Kerry will give her vegetables from her own patch. But Dorothy just wants Joe to shift the fence.

DOROTHY: Mr Mangel, do not come in here threatening me with a limited vocabulary and mixed metaphors, your time would be better spent moving the fence! Good day.
JOE: I am not moving nothing, nowhere, never, you hear?
DOROTHY: Mr Mangel, you are not moving anything, anywhere, ever, you hear?

She closes the door leave Joe looking bewildered.
