Lloyd brings in Anne’s abused teddy bear

Lloyd brings in Anne’s treasured childhood toy, John – a threadbare teddy bear, whose head is held on by a couple of stitches.

When Lloyd claims that Anne had absolutely tortured the hell out of John, Anne responds that “John had been a bad boy”.

Tom Gleeson points out that John has spent a lot of time with Anne, and asks Lloyd if he is worried that if he spends a lot more time with her, he’ll also end up looking like John. When Anne, smiling, rubs her hands together in response, Lloyd changes his tune and claims that John did it all to himself.

Tom decides that Anne’s teddy has definitely been through the grinder, so Lloyd earns 5 points.
