At the reception Jenny argues ethics with Ted s friend Rodney Sillitoe who owns a chicken factory, his wife Betty gets drunk, and melancholy widower Neville Badger tells anyone who will listen how much he misses his wife.

When Jenny announces that she s pregnant, social niceties vanish and Ted s other son, brusque wouldbe philosopher Elvis, punches Jenny s estateagent brother Simon.
