| - Manny Bianco (Bill Bailey) calls in a high-security door installer (Nick Frost), after a group of youths broke into the shop. However, Manny fails to tell him that they got in because he left the front door open. The door that is being fitted is a high-security door, with the control panel on the inside, making it impossible to open from the outside. However, Manny gets distracted by a Subbuteo player in the installer's hair, and so does not know how to unlock the door. Bernard Black (Dylan Moran) enters the shop, and pesters Manny about his failure to tell the installer the truth. Fran Katzenjammer (Tamsin Greig) enters after him, and notices that Howell Granger (Peter Serafinowicz), a college friend, is present. Fran says that he "confuses her" because of his erotic voice. However, Howell notices her and starts talking, telling her that he has got a job reading the shipping forecast on Radio Four, before he exits the shop, leaving Fran mesmerised. That night, Bernard an Manny discuss their plans for the evening; Bernard is drinking absinthe with Fran and Manny is going to the cinema. Bernard then asks how the high security door works, however, once Bernard discovers that the control panel is on the inside, he determines that the door is useless. A confused Manny does not understand, so Bernard, as an example, steps outside. Suddenly, the door shuts and locks itself, locking Bernard out. A furious Bernard decides to call Fran in a phone box, however, Fran doesn't answer as she is listening to the shipping forecast hosted by Howell. Bernard has no choice but to walk the streets, looking for food and a place to stay. He enters the cinema to see the film Manny was going to see, Armapocolypse, however, finds that the film has been cancelled. He then ventures to a video shop, and tries to stay there as long as possible by asking the shopkeeper for a pornography video about senior administrive nurses. When the shopkeeper eventually finds a suitable video, Bernard tries to stall the shopkeeper further. However, he fails to do so and is throwen out. Meanwhile, Manny is desperate for food, and finds The SAS Survival Handbook, and following its instructions, builds a rabbit trap in the kitchen and starts cooking Bernard's beloved bees. After finding a 'sustainable' drinking sorce, the absinthe, Manny gets extremely drunk and begins talking into a radio thinking he is maintaining radio contact, as the handbook says. Meanwhile, a highly aroused Fran, after listening to the shipping forecast, is shocked when it ends, and decides to call Howell just to here his voice. Once Howell has answered the phone, Fran remains silent, as Howell questions who is calling him. Once he threatens to hang up, Fran reveals herself, and once Howell offers to come over, she begins to pant heavily, before she ends the phone call. Meanwhile, Bernard enters Mamba Burger, a fast food joint, in which he tries to bribe the staff into giving him food in exchange for his belt. Once he is thrown out into the rain, he notices a 'Staff Wanted' sign, and is employed. After abusing a customer, the rain stops, and he throws his uniform at a fellow employee and leaves. The next morning, Bernard returns to the shop to find that the some youths have conveniently stolen the security system, and that Manny has a severe hangover, and is being comforted by Fran. Manny admits to Bernard that he ate all his bees, much to Bernard's annoyance.
