Back in the sitting room the men are on their second drinks and have turned on a cricket game. The brothers-in-law get along quite well. They're enjoying their casual time with each other. "Oh, what was that? That was a stupid move!" Onslow yells angrily. He gets very passionate about sports.
"Remind me how to score cricket. It's been a long time since I've watched a match." Bruce requests.
"Oh Bruce, don't lie! The truth is you have absolutely no interest in spots. The TV was on a fashion station when we turned it on." Onslow teases.
"Fine, tell me how to score cricket then. I'm so confused just listening." Bruce asks taking the teasing in stride.
"There's too many rules for scoring to explain it before the end of this match." Onslow says bending forward and watching intently. "We'll explain during the next match."
Hyacinth pokes her head into the sitting room." Can I get you gentlemen a snack? We're all rather busy in here, but I can take a few minutes out?"
"You don't even have to make us anything, Hyacinth. In the pantry there's a big bag of pretzel bites. If you just drop those into a bowl we'll be just fine." Bruce gives Hyacinth directions.
"All right, I'll be right back with that. Richard, please tell me Daddy isn't drinking. You know how he gets when he's drinking." Hyacinth whines.
"Of course he's not drinking. It's a non-alcoholic beer." Richard smiles at his wife.
Hyacinth walks back to the kitchen and smiles at her sisters. "The men seem to be enjoying being together. They're hungry though." Hyacinth walks over to the pantry and pulls out a bag of pretzel bites. She pulls out a bowl and pours the pretzel bites into it. She walks back into the sitting room and puts the bowl down in front of Richard. "Enjoy everyone." Hyacinth says with a smile. Richard smacks Hyacinth's bum lightly when she's bent over in front of him. "Oi, that wasn't a very nice thing to do! Hands off in front of the family, please!" Hyacinth cries loudly.
"Oh, you love the attention! I think the lady doth protest too much, don't you gentlemen?" Richard says teasingly. His wife doesn't mind being teased, but she protests if she's teased in front of others. Richard grabs Hyacinth's hips and pulls her back towards his lap. "Come here."
Hyacinth lands on Richard's laps and Richard kisses Hyacinth. Hyacinth pushes against Richard's chest. "Stop! Stop! I have to get dinner ready! I've got things to do! I don't have time for this!"
"There are three women in that kitchen. I'm sure they can spare you for a few minutes." Richard says and then continues to kiss Hyacinth.
"Oi, you two! This is a female free sports zone until dinner! No romance!" Onslow yells shielding his eyes.
"Right, now I'm officially off! See you at dinner!" Hyacinth says standing up and kissing the top of Richard's head. Hyacinth walks back to the kitchen.
