Mum and Dad try to organise a quiet meal out together. But first they have to escape the house - which won't be easy, given that their six-year-old daughter feels they're being financially irresponsible by dining out during a credit crunch.

The evening does not go well. Dad is soon revealing that he's been checking out something he shouldn't on the internet, Jake is being advised on why he should never invade Russia, and Ben is refused entry to an imaginary restaurant.
