Rita, Vodka and Emily too

"You can't just rearrange the items on the shelves," explained the supermarket worker.

Rita wasn't convinced. "I was in retail before you were born, laddie. Now move out of my way. I want bread next to vodka, and vodka next to flans."

The security guard came along. "Trouble here?"

It was Emily Bishop. Rita was taken by surprise.

"I'm taken by surprise," she said. "Emily Bishop working in a supermarket."

"Yes, I'm afraid my pension doesn't go as far as it used to. And then I developed a scratch card habit."
"Oh Emily, that's terrible. Mind, I developed a taste for the vodka in my old age."

"Well, let's be honest. You've had more than just a taste for it for the last 50 years."

Rita has no recollection

 Rita woke up, hungover as usual.  She was fully dressed, and so she reckoned that she must have been pretty tanked up the night before.

Mary and Brian catch up

The Rovers Return Mary: I often wonder what you see in me Brian. Brian: Mary, Mary, Mary. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou are more lovely and more temperate. Mary: But Brian, I very much fear that my summer is fading fast. Brian: In truth, you're probably at the stage of the first frost of autumn.
