Bob is a car nut who's oblivious to his wife Sue's need for some amorous action and Barry's (his gay neighbor) unrequited affections. When Sue mistakes the legs sticking out under her hubby's car for Bob's and decides to take action, who can tell where events will lead?
I've pulled out more big ends than Julian Clary"
**********
Bob: "Do you reckon it might need a head job?"
Barry: "Yeah…[pause. Barry leans in, smiling, nose about an inch away from Bob's]…well, could do with one myself" [pause. Barry continues to smile, moving imperceptibly closer]
**********
Post-coital miscommunication: Bob: "What's the verdict?"
Barry [surprised, slightly shaken but smiling broadly]: "Wonderful"
Bob: [oblivious, talking about the car] It's a nice unit. Smooth as silk.
Barry: What's your wife think?
Bob: She doesn't give a toss. I mean, what does she know about it?
Barry: [smiling expectantly]: You want me to have a go?
Bob: Yeah, [sees the lump of Sue's Nicorette gum on the car] yeah sure. [slightly puzzled] Go if you like.
[Barry is checking out Bob, Bob is only focussed on the lump of gum and it dawns on him what has happened]

This short film features five people with epilepsy, including Hugo Weaving, talking openly, positively and with humour about their epilepsy and the way it affects their lives. It shows that people with epilepsy can be valuable employees as well as talented and successful in many different ways.
Hello, my name's Hugo Weaving, and I have epilepsy- but it's no big deal.
I've never had a seizure on stage- I've never worried about having a seizure on stage. I did once have a temporal lobe seizure on stage so I didn't actually have a kind of full fit. No one knew what was going on because I was standing there and my whole world became jumbled and I didn't know what was going on. I certainly wouldn't have been able to say a line I wouldn't have known what it was.
I've often had seizures just before doing a film, well- 2 or 3 occasions anyway and I think that's to do with the excitement, nervous excitement you know, or when they've just finished, literally the day they've finished. So it's an emotional thing with me, if I'm tired or excited.
There's nothing in my epilepsy that makes me any less able to do anything as an actor and I think that would be the same for almost any profession - it doesn't disable me, it's not a disability. I don't see it as a disability at all. In terms of my work, if anything, it makes me kind of intrigued about a part of life that is hard to comprehend because it's just one of those things...I mean someone is more likely to fall over and break their ankle than I am to have a fit. I mean someone might get runover, those sorts of accidents happen and it is just one of those things.
I think because epilepsy is to do with the brain people get really worried about it you know, and they think "Oo er there's some weirdo, freak person over there, they've got epilepsy what is it?
I guess I always assume that it's not for other people because it's not a problem for me and possibly that's the best way to sell something - if it's not a problem for you it's not gonna be a problem for someone else, even if you are having seizures every day.
"I mean the best thing about epilepsy is that it does force you to think about your health, and your well being, like sleeping, like looking after yourself, looking after yourself you know which I try and do now more than I used to you know, give yourself a chance, give yourself a good life."
