Major Project: Coupling episode 5 research

Locations: Bar

Storylines:
- The boys are trying to guess an attractive girls name at the bar. Patrick finds out from reading the words on her phone when he passes her that it is a foreign language.
- The girl makes glances at jeff and the boys encourage him to talk to her. 
- Jeff explains his concern that men always think about breasts and sometimes he worrys it will slip out when hes talking to a women and is too scared to talk to this girl.
- He finally gets the courage and says an awkward coming about noticing how she can read. However she doesnt speak any english.  Her interpreter shows up and explains that she doesnt speak english which thrills jeff. He tries to arrange to meet her again but she is leaving the country so her interpretur says there isnt much point.
- the girls are now at the bar and looking at the woman and judging her. They say she is perfect until they notice she has the price tag stuck to her shoe. They notice that she has seen someone she likes and try and find out who it is and discuss the different guys in her eyeline and also notice jeff is stood there. Until they see she is loking at jeff.
- Susan sends him over and tells him not to worry talking to him because she wont understand him.
- An exchange plays out with the girl speaking israeli and the jeff speaking english. We then see the same conversation but with the girl speaking english and jeff speaking in another language. It is revealed she likes him and wanted to date him but she thought he liked alice. She then tells him to meet her outside in 5 minutes. if he wants to. She also arranges for him to meet alice tommorow as she thinks he has asked for a date with her. Due to jeff not understanding her he does not meet the girl.
- Also in this exchange jeff thinks the girls name is the israeli for breasts which also links with the name of the epsiode 'the girl with 2 breasts'. Howveer the girl mentions he shoudlnt talk about breasts around alice as she is sensitive about hers being small.
- Jeff waits for the girl he thinks he is meeting but notices the interpreter instead. he said he was expecting jadiaum, which of course meant breasts in english and so she punches him.
- It is revealed that jeff was also arrested at the airport for shouting the girls name(breasts) at the airport.
- Throughout the episode patrick tries to think of a title for a film about a girl who has brains in her boobs - a plot jeff came up with. At the end of the show patrick says he has the perfect title - the girl with 2 breasts. Steve says that is the stupidest title yet - ironic that it is the name of the episode.

This episode is one of the most unique as it is all set in the one location and also has the same scene run twice so we can see the different translations. This is a unique concept and a really different style for the show but still inkeeping with the theme, tone and pace of the other episodes. It is also the forst episode to only focus heavily on one character and focus more on an outside character than the other main cast.



stay safe,

Helen
