1
00:00:47,753 --> 00:00:50,347
Did you ever think it possible
2
00:00:50,433 --> 00:00:52,947
that God in His infinite mystery
3
00:00:53,033 --> 00:00:58,505
could produce two mortal beings
so perfectly matched in taste and temperament...
4
00:00:59,113 --> 00:01:03,072
who could think and feel and see and act as one?
5
00:01:04,313 --> 00:01:08,147
Everyday now since we met, I look out there
6
00:01:08,233 --> 00:01:11,509
and know there is a natural order to the universe.
7
00:01:13,353 --> 00:01:15,230
And what chance was there?
8
00:01:15,313 --> 00:01:19,101
Among the random, drifting moats of all creation
9
00:01:19,193 --> 00:01:22,708
that our paths could ever hope to cross until...
10
00:01:23,473 --> 00:01:26,385
that hellish Hogmanay at Richard McCauley's.
11
00:01:26,473 --> 00:01:28,828
WOMAN: Where I swear I was truly contemplating
12
00:01:28,913 --> 00:01:32,701
the efficacy of self-impalement
as a means of escape.
13
00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:36,032
Forgive me.
14
00:01:38,313 --> 00:01:41,385
-Jack Coulson.
-Roberta Samms.
15
00:01:46,313 --> 00:01:47,871
God, I'm sorry.
16
00:01:47,953 --> 00:01:50,990
I must be the only man in Christendom
who cannot see the pleasure
17
00:01:51,073 --> 00:01:53,189
in barking and whooping like a rooster
18
00:01:53,273 --> 00:01:56,549
while capering about the room
among a colony of simpletons.
19
00:01:57,193 --> 00:02:01,664
Also, the choice inanities
that seem to charm a lady on these occasions
20
00:02:01,753 --> 00:02:04,221
are beyond my wit, I'm afraid.
21
00:02:04,313 --> 00:02:06,986
So you see before you a hopeless social misfit.
22
00:02:08,753 --> 00:02:14,510
You have just articulated every sense
of frustration and alienation in my soul.
23
00:02:16,793 --> 00:02:19,751
I'm honoured to make your acquaintance.
24
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:25,069
Is it too fanciful to believe
in this great puzzle called life...
25
00:02:25,153 --> 00:02:28,304
we are each born to be one of a perfect pair?
26
00:02:28,953 --> 00:02:31,513
You see, I have never known anyone before
27
00:02:31,593 --> 00:02:35,268
who discards that strange
stringy bit on a banana as I do.
28
00:02:36,193 --> 00:02:39,902
-And the most remarkable thing of all....
-You don't need to say it.
29
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:45,113
-The telepathy between us.
-Don't you think it's truly astonishing?
30
00:02:45,193 --> 00:02:50,506
You see, dear Jack,
I wonder if you can tell what I am thinking now.
31
00:02:50,593 --> 00:02:54,552
Well, let me tell you what I'm thinking.
32
00:02:54,913 --> 00:02:59,384
That this moment now
is more precious than I can say.
33
00:02:59,713 --> 00:03:05,504
The two of us here, the song of a curlew,
the first budding leaves of spring,
34
00:03:05,593 --> 00:03:10,269
and yet, this time tomorrow
it will all be just a memory.
35
00:03:10,353 --> 00:03:14,312
Oh, yes. How sad that we both
should dwell on that.
36
00:03:14,553 --> 00:03:17,863
I think I fear the passing of time
more than anything.
37
00:03:17,953 --> 00:03:22,822
But it teaches me at least to value the present.
38
00:03:23,473 --> 00:03:28,342
And not to take for granted
a single second the two of us are together.
39
00:03:35,233 --> 00:03:36,871
CLEO: What is she like?
40
00:03:36,953 --> 00:03:40,150
You know she used to put
love bites in her neck with a garlic press?
41
00:03:40,273 --> 00:03:44,505
As true as I'm sitting here.
Every night, so everyone thought she'd pulled.
42
00:03:44,993 --> 00:03:48,952
Stacey told me that one. Oh dear,
who's coming over to stay next week, actually.
43
00:03:49,513 --> 00:03:51,185
So that will be a riot.
44
00:03:51,273 --> 00:03:54,549
'Cause did I tell you?
She's got this thing right, my sister,
45
00:03:54,633 --> 00:03:58,945
where you can never tell if she's laughing
or crying. Both sound exactly the same.
46
00:03:59,193 --> 00:04:01,024
Like, she'll be going....
47
00:04:05,993 --> 00:04:09,303
And you'll go running into the room,
"What is it, Stace? What's the matter?"
48
00:04:09,393 --> 00:04:11,827
She'll be sitting there watching The Simpsons.
49
00:04:11,913 --> 00:04:15,542
Or else, then she'll ring you up, she's going,
"I think I'm pregnant."
50
00:04:18,153 --> 00:04:21,111
-Sorry, are we getting on your nerves?
-Mmm.
51
00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:24,628
Hm?
52
00:04:24,713 --> 00:04:27,750
Gotta be a good book that, Ali.
You can't seem to put it down.
53
00:04:27,833 --> 00:04:29,312
Yes, it is.
54
00:04:29,553 --> 00:04:34,707
Erm...no, I was just thinking about this party
I'm supposed to be going to tomorrow.
55
00:04:34,793 --> 00:04:37,227
What I'm going to wear,
what everyone else will be wearing,
56
00:04:37,313 --> 00:04:39,873
whether I'll end up
looking like a transvestite again.
57
00:04:39,953 --> 00:04:43,229
-Don't know. Did you tell us about this?
-Didn't I?
58
00:04:43,953 --> 00:04:47,184
Yeah, my dopey cousin Janice in Hove,
59
00:04:47,273 --> 00:04:51,152
who can barely string a sentence together
at the best of times, rang me up the other day.
60
00:04:51,233 --> 00:04:54,145
I'm sure you met her once,
she came in the store with her husband.
61
00:04:54,233 --> 00:04:57,509
They're one of these couples,
whatever they've got on, they always clash.
62
00:04:57,593 --> 00:05:01,472
He'll be in this shirt or something
that's lime green and she'll be in turquoise.
63
00:05:01,553 --> 00:05:05,023
The whole principle of tonal harmony
is lost on them.
64
00:05:05,113 --> 00:05:08,150
And she said I've got to come
to Brian's birthday bash
65
00:05:08,233 --> 00:05:12,784
'cause this year it's the "big four".
She's not having any excuses.
66
00:05:12,873 --> 00:05:16,104
Actually, I wonder if I'm getting tonsillitis.
67
00:05:16,193 --> 00:05:21,426
Ali, will you get your arse out of the comfort zone
for once and just make the effort?
68
00:05:21,513 --> 00:05:24,073
You see, this is why you never meet anyone.
69
00:05:24,153 --> 00:05:27,111
And, I mean, it's not as if you're not good-looking.
70
00:05:27,193 --> 00:05:31,823
Yeah, you've got loads of great qualities
that would be really attractive to a man.
71
00:05:31,913 --> 00:05:33,551
You know....
72
00:05:37,193 --> 00:05:40,742
Well, you seem to have backed yourselves
into a corner on that one, don't you?
73
00:05:40,833 --> 00:05:44,303
-Thank you very much.
-No, it's just.... I don't know.
74
00:05:44,393 --> 00:05:47,624
It wouldn't hurt you to be
a bit more flexible sometimes, that's all.
75
00:05:47,713 --> 00:05:50,705
I mean, it's like this bloke Milly's seeing
at the moment.
76
00:05:50,793 --> 00:05:55,025
Right, the one who works at the airfield.
You said you thought was getting really serious.
77
00:05:55,113 --> 00:05:58,264
Well, that all went
a bit pear-shaped in the end as it happened.
78
00:05:58,353 --> 00:06:00,548
Which is why I never said anything.
79
00:06:00,633 --> 00:06:03,067
He invited me down there, didn't he, one day.
80
00:06:03,153 --> 00:06:05,303
Took his plane up in the air....
81
00:06:38,913 --> 00:06:42,269
CLEO: At which point,
fate suddenly threw temptation in your way.
82
00:06:48,793 --> 00:06:53,071
And so then, of course, I started seeing
this mate of his, who was really great, you know.
83
00:06:54,633 --> 00:07:00,026
Except, our first night together,
we're in his bedroom and it's all, you know,
84
00:07:00,113 --> 00:07:04,231
and suddenly he asks me
what are my feelings about capital punishment.
85
00:07:04,473 --> 00:07:05,872
You're joking.
86
00:07:05,953 --> 00:07:09,787
What, where you stand on the issue ethically?
Wow, that's a first.
87
00:07:10,113 --> 00:07:12,422
I think she means corporal punishment.
88
00:07:12,513 --> 00:07:15,425
Yeah, well, whatever. Spanking basically, right.
89
00:07:15,513 --> 00:07:18,232
Over the knee, bare bottom, all that caper.
90
00:07:18,913 --> 00:07:23,031
To which at first, obviously, I was like,
yuck, you know.
91
00:07:23,113 --> 00:07:27,584
But I don't know,
I just thought if you really care about someone
92
00:07:27,673 --> 00:07:33,305
and what gives them pleasure...
so I just closed my eyes and went for it.
93
00:07:33,513 --> 00:07:35,708
God, you star.
94
00:07:35,793 --> 00:07:38,227
-And did it hurt?
-Well, that's the thing.
95
00:07:38,313 --> 00:07:42,591
At first, not that much, but then gradually
I could feel it really starting to sting.
96
00:07:42,673 --> 00:07:45,585
And after about half an hour, my God!
97
00:07:45,673 --> 00:07:49,985
Oh, why do I know what you're going to say?
Your hands just went completely numb, right?
98
00:07:50,073 --> 00:07:52,462
It really did. I'm not joking.
99
00:07:52,873 --> 00:07:54,864
I said, "Look, do you mind if we stop now, Terry,
100
00:07:54,953 --> 00:07:58,582
"'cause you're not going to be able to sit down
tomorrow at this rate."
101
00:07:59,353 --> 00:08:02,425
And after that he was so turned on.
102
00:08:02,633 --> 00:08:04,828
I tell you what, it made such a difference.
103
00:08:05,833 --> 00:08:09,462
You see, Ali, this is all vital stress management
you're missing out on.
104
00:08:09,553 --> 00:08:13,068
That every woman needs on a regular basis,
even when you're on your own.
105
00:08:13,593 --> 00:08:18,747
If you know what I'm saying?
In fact, I've got something here you could use.
106
00:08:18,833 --> 00:08:21,142
I bought it for myself,
but I think your need is greater.
107
00:08:21,273 --> 00:08:24,390
-What is she going to bring out now?
-No, I'm serious.
108
00:08:24,473 --> 00:08:26,748
This'll be the perfect thing for you.
109
00:08:27,433 --> 00:08:29,230
It's a candle.
110
00:08:35,393 --> 00:08:38,351
You light that for about 1 0 minutes,
Just let it fill the room.
111
00:08:38,433 --> 00:08:41,550
It's very sensual and very erotic.
112
00:08:46,073 --> 00:08:52,103
ALICE: Well, that was a complete waste of time.
I've made myself feel totally sick now.
113
00:08:52,193 --> 00:08:55,902
You should never try and achieve ecstasy
on top of Horlicks.
114
00:09:00,353 --> 00:09:05,552
The trouble is I get a sexual fantasy in my head
and then I can't hold on to it.
115
00:09:05,633 --> 00:09:08,386
My brain keeps wandering off.
116
00:09:08,473 --> 00:09:14,708
Like, I was just in the middle
of this really exciting, intense, erotic act...
117
00:09:14,793 --> 00:09:19,708
and then I started worrying
if it was illegal in certain states of America.
118
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:23,866
And then for some reason or other,
Ted Rogers appeared...
119
00:09:23,953 --> 00:09:26,421
doing that thing with his fingers.
120
00:09:26,513 --> 00:09:29,232
Then after that it was just hopeless.
121
00:09:29,313 --> 00:09:32,430
My dad always said I had a butterfly mind.
122
00:09:34,793 --> 00:09:36,829
If only I could learn to concentrate.
123
00:09:43,873 --> 00:09:45,465
1 2.:50.
124
00:09:46,313 --> 00:09:50,864
I can't believe that dream I was just having.
It was so weird.
125
00:09:51,673 --> 00:09:56,508
God, when do I ever wake up
physically aroused? Never.
126
00:09:58,713 --> 00:10:01,989
Maybe if I just empty out my mind and...
127
00:10:02,873 --> 00:10:07,663
completely relax, I can get back there again.
128
00:10:11,193 --> 00:10:12,228
Gil.
129
00:10:14,313 --> 00:10:15,746
Irene.
130
00:10:18,393 --> 00:10:20,953
-How did you get in here?
-Through the front door.
131
00:10:21,033 --> 00:10:23,672
I've got all your keys, the alarm system.
132
00:10:23,753 --> 00:10:28,110
Look, I know this probably seems like
a strange moment to call around for a chat, but....
133
00:10:28,193 --> 00:10:32,471
-Are you serious? It's the middle of the night.
-I feel really bad, that's all.
134
00:10:32,553 --> 00:10:36,865
I haven't been in touch, you know,
since that night.
135
00:10:36,953 --> 00:10:39,103
I think we both got a bit carried away, didn't we?
136
00:10:39,193 --> 00:10:41,502
Well, I know. It was...
137
00:10:41,593 --> 00:10:46,621
like a cheap 1 950s farce with underwear,
and husbands and hiding in cupboards,
138
00:10:46,713 --> 00:10:52,310
but at least we kept our heads in the end
and didn't actually do anything, so....
139
00:10:52,393 --> 00:10:56,784
Anyway, top and bottom of it is
I just want you to know this...
140
00:10:57,953 --> 00:11:00,706
Bob and I decided to get back together again.
141
00:11:00,793 --> 00:11:05,742
Well, that's fantastic. Really great, Irene.
I'm thrilled to hear that.
142
00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:08,063
Well, hopefully great, we'll see.
143
00:11:09,073 --> 00:11:13,066
I just hate to think that that made you feel...
144
00:11:14,153 --> 00:11:15,427
in any way....
145
00:11:18,153 --> 00:11:20,542
-Rejected?
-God, is that what you feel?
146
00:11:20,633 --> 00:11:24,308
-No. No, of course not. No way.
-'Cause, you know...
147
00:11:24,393 --> 00:11:27,703
I'll always have a soft spot for you, Gil.
148
00:11:27,793 --> 00:11:30,432
-It's just....
-What's happening here?
149
00:11:30,513 --> 00:11:31,992
-Is everything okay?
-Bob?
150
00:11:32,073 --> 00:11:34,792
Of course it's okay. It's fine.
151
00:11:34,873 --> 00:11:38,627
-Will you stop worrying and go back to bed?
-Wondered where the hell you'd gone.
152
00:11:38,713 --> 00:11:44,345
For goodness sake. Look, I'll tell you later.
Now, let's just leave him in peace.
153
00:11:44,553 --> 00:11:50,150
-Okay. Well, cheers then, Gil. You take care.
-Yeah, yes. See you around, Bob.
154
00:12:28,993 --> 00:12:32,030
Oh, Roberta, my sweet darling.
155
00:12:33,633 --> 00:12:36,545
God forgive me for what I'm about to do
156
00:12:36,633 --> 00:12:40,546
if it appears in anyway perverse
or improper to you, but...
157
00:12:42,633 --> 00:12:45,067
I really fear I can't help myself.
158
00:12:46,473 --> 00:12:50,705
And at that moment,
I swear he could've done anything.
159
00:12:50,793 --> 00:12:53,591
Such was the passion
that coursed through my veins
160
00:12:53,673 --> 00:12:56,631
as he gazed upon my body for the first time,
161
00:12:56,713 --> 00:13:00,467
unclothed and unfettered
by the trappings of society.
162
00:13:00,553 --> 00:13:02,942
I hope it will not shock you, Dora,
163
00:13:03,033 --> 00:13:07,823
when I say that he surrendered
to his deepest most primal impulse...
164
00:13:09,033 --> 00:13:13,743
and wrote a poem, slowly at first...
165
00:13:14,433 --> 00:13:18,028
delicately selecting each precious word.
166
00:13:18,673 --> 00:13:23,189
But as the inspiration took flight
and his imagination soared,
167
00:13:23,273 --> 00:13:24,706
oh, what imagery!
168
00:13:24,793 --> 00:13:27,182
What rhythmic, pulsing metres.
169
00:13:27,273 --> 00:13:31,710
What gushing, bounteous couplets
flowed from his pen.
170
00:13:31,793 --> 00:13:34,591
My dearest sister, I tell you now,
171
00:13:34,673 --> 00:13:39,986
he is the warmest, truest,
most perfect gentleman I have ever met
172
00:13:40,073 --> 00:13:42,029
in all the world.
173
00:13:45,513 --> 00:13:50,189
ALICE: I suppose Cleo's right.
I'm going to have to go to this thing tomorrow.
174
00:13:50,273 --> 00:13:54,346
Brian's birthday bash, "the big four"...
175
00:13:54,433 --> 00:13:57,550
and drag myself out of the comfort zone.
176
00:13:58,753 --> 00:14:00,391
God, I hate parties.
177
00:14:23,993 --> 00:14:26,109
-Hey, hello.
-Hi.
178
00:14:29,873 --> 00:14:30,988
How are you?
179
00:14:36,313 --> 00:14:39,271
Now one with just the three cousins.
180
00:14:39,353 --> 00:14:42,151
Darling, if you just wanna put yourself
in the middle there.
181
00:14:44,273 --> 00:14:45,786
And big smiles.
182
00:14:47,433 --> 00:14:48,468
Lovely.
183
00:14:49,553 --> 00:14:53,592
So, anyway,
how's life treating you these days, Janice?
184
00:14:53,713 --> 00:14:56,944
-You're looking well.
-Yes, still muddling along. Yeah.
185
00:14:59,713 --> 00:15:01,271
And Malcolm?
186
00:15:01,753 --> 00:15:03,948
-He's....?
-Yeah, he's fine.
187
00:15:04,033 --> 00:15:05,432
Yeah....
188
00:15:05,513 --> 00:15:07,185
-Absolutely.
-Good.
189
00:15:10,073 --> 00:15:14,146
ALICE: I was trying to remember, actually,
the last time I saw Stephen and Phillipa.
190
00:15:14,233 --> 00:15:17,145
I think it must have been Aunt Ena's funeral.
191
00:15:17,673 --> 00:15:20,983
-I presume he's still working on the Advertiser?
-I don't know.
192
00:15:21,073 --> 00:15:25,589
-Deputy news editor there or something.
-Something like that, yeah.
193
00:15:26,313 --> 00:15:28,031
Yeah, I think so.
194
00:15:28,993 --> 00:15:30,187
Yeah.
195
00:15:33,953 --> 00:15:35,545
And she still...
196
00:15:35,993 --> 00:15:40,066
-does whatever she does in the City somewhere?
-Yeah, I think so.
197
00:15:40,553 --> 00:15:43,465
-Yeah, that's right.
-Right.
198
00:15:47,393 --> 00:15:51,272
And I suppose.... How old would Julie be now?
199
00:15:51,353 --> 00:15:53,947
Fourteen, I suppose, she must be.
200
00:15:54,833 --> 00:15:57,301
Fourteen, yeah, God.
201
00:15:57,953 --> 00:16:00,308
It makes you think, doesn't it?
202
00:16:00,393 --> 00:16:02,543
-Yeah.
-Certainly does.
203
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:09,783
Oh, yes, how could I forget?
204
00:16:09,873 --> 00:16:14,549
I managed to get you some samples
off the Givenchy counter.
205
00:16:14,633 --> 00:16:18,626
-You didn't! You little angel.
-Ysatis.
206
00:16:19,073 --> 00:16:22,349
Which I know you always wear, come rain or shine.
207
00:16:23,113 --> 00:16:26,469
-Should keep you going for a while.
-God, fancy you remembering that?
208
00:16:26,553 --> 00:16:28,544
Ysatis.
209
00:16:28,633 --> 00:16:30,828
Thank you, Alice. Isn't that sweet of you?
210
00:16:30,913 --> 00:16:34,110
-I'd love a lager. Thank you very much indeed.
-Great.
211
00:16:34,593 --> 00:16:37,232
Excuse me a sec, will you. Natalie!
212
00:16:37,313 --> 00:16:41,545
Now look what you've done, you messy little girl.
That's not nice, is it? On your Uncle Steve.
213
00:16:41,633 --> 00:16:44,431
-It's fine.
-I'm so sorry.
214
00:16:44,513 --> 00:16:47,391
STEPHEN: No idea she was going
to put as much on.
215
00:16:47,473 --> 00:16:50,670
Don't worry.
I'm sure it'll come off with some Vanish.
216
00:16:50,753 --> 00:16:52,391
Oh, dear.
217
00:16:52,473 --> 00:16:57,103
Yes. Actually, Alice,
you think we could have a quiet word somewhere?
218
00:16:57,193 --> 00:16:59,866
Only, er, I've got a bit of a problem.
219
00:17:25,993 --> 00:17:27,585
IRENE: Hey.
BOB: Surprise.
220
00:17:27,673 --> 00:17:29,311
Hi, how you guys doing?
221
00:17:29,393 --> 00:17:32,544
GIL: Getting a little exercise out there.
IRENE: Yeah.
222
00:17:34,353 --> 00:17:37,390
Still trying to keep ourselves in trim.
223
00:17:39,993 --> 00:17:42,268
Right, so I see.
224
00:17:42,353 --> 00:17:46,392
-Working up a good old sweat.
-Yeah. How about you?
225
00:17:46,473 --> 00:17:49,465
After last night, obviously,
we can't stop thinking about your brother.
226
00:17:49,553 --> 00:17:52,272
Right. Sorry, my....?
227
00:17:52,353 --> 00:17:55,550
I mean, how is he?
Is there any more news on his condition?
228
00:17:57,113 --> 00:17:59,752
Sorry, Gil, would you excuse me? Mick.
229
00:17:59,833 --> 00:18:02,666
Yeah, I've been trying to get hold of you
all morning. Yeah.
230
00:18:02,753 --> 00:18:07,349
I told him your brother had been
very badly injured in an accident in America.
231
00:18:07,433 --> 00:18:09,310
That it was touch and go
whether he'd pull through,
232
00:18:09,393 --> 00:18:11,111
and you were so upset about it all
233
00:18:11,193 --> 00:18:13,946
that I had to come around last night
to see if everything was okay.
234
00:18:14,033 --> 00:18:16,388
-And he believed that?
-Absolutely.
235
00:18:16,473 --> 00:18:21,467
What I said was he'd been taking part
in a javelin contest, okay?
236
00:18:21,553 --> 00:18:24,829
And as he was running along
he'd stumbled and dropped the javelin,
237
00:18:24,913 --> 00:18:28,826
which had stuck in the ground,
and he'd fallen face first, right on to the point
238
00:18:28,913 --> 00:18:31,222
which had completely pierced
the roof of his mouth,
239
00:18:31,313 --> 00:18:34,385
and ended up about half an inch away
from his brain.
240
00:18:34,473 --> 00:18:36,668
-So....
-God, that's horrible.
241
00:18:36,753 --> 00:18:39,142
What on earth did you make up a story
like that for?
242
00:18:39,233 --> 00:18:42,430
Well, I had to think quick.
It was the first thing that popped into my mind.
243
00:18:42,513 --> 00:18:44,947
The first thing that popped into your mind?
244
00:18:45,033 --> 00:18:49,868
How about his car went off the road,
or he fell down some stairs or....
245
00:18:49,953 --> 00:18:52,592
What am I talking about anyway?
I don't even have a brother.
246
00:18:52,673 --> 00:18:55,824
-Well, you have now. His name is Hiram.
-Hiram?
247
00:18:55,913 --> 00:18:58,222
Great. What is he? An assistant librarian
248
00:18:58,313 --> 00:19:01,191
with little pince-nez glasses and a nervous twitch?
249
00:19:01,273 --> 00:19:04,151
God, I never realised
you had such a fertile imagination.
250
00:19:04,233 --> 00:19:06,030
Well, what was I supposed to say?
251
00:19:06,113 --> 00:19:09,423
That I came around to break the news to you
our relationship was over?
252
00:19:09,513 --> 00:19:11,868
-He'd have gone potty.
-What relationship?
253
00:19:12,593 --> 00:19:15,949
-We never had a relationship.
-Okay, look, we got to make a move, sweetheart.
254
00:19:16,033 --> 00:19:20,106
Mick says he can help shift my stuff back today
if we get there by 3:00, so....
255
00:19:20,313 --> 00:19:24,147
Oh, yeah, the other thing, Gil,
and it's bit of an odd one.
256
00:19:24,233 --> 00:19:28,943
My mother, you know she's in this nursing home
now in Lower Ledbury,
257
00:19:29,033 --> 00:19:33,709
and maybe the old marbles are starting to go
or what I don't know, I mean, she's 81 .
258
00:19:33,793 --> 00:19:38,264
But all she kept saying when I was there
yesterday is how much she wanted to see you.
259
00:19:38,993 --> 00:19:41,461
Me? Are you joking?
260
00:19:41,553 --> 00:19:44,306
Why would she want to see me?
I don't think I've ever even met the lady.
261
00:19:44,393 --> 00:19:47,385
Well, I said I'd pass it on.
Anyway, look, we'll see you around, okay?
262
00:19:47,473 --> 00:19:49,782
And, you know,
I really hope it works out for Hiram.
263
00:19:50,433 --> 00:19:52,185
Right. Thank you.
264
00:19:54,833 --> 00:19:59,623
-What is it? You're not ill or anything?
-No, it's nothing like that. No.
265
00:19:59,713 --> 00:20:02,102
Well, then listen, if you've got your health,
266
00:20:02,193 --> 00:20:06,471
I tell you, there is nothing else in life
worth getting that upset about.
267
00:20:06,553 --> 00:20:09,704
So, come on, you can share it with me.
What's the problem?
268
00:20:10,393 --> 00:20:12,623
Well, you see, the thing is...
269
00:20:14,153 --> 00:20:16,064
I've got to go to prison.
270
00:20:17,273 --> 00:20:19,992
-No, seriously.
-I'm being serious.
271
00:20:20,153 --> 00:20:22,951
God, you think I'd make jokes
about a thing like this?
272
00:20:23,033 --> 00:20:25,388
I'm out of my head with worry.
273
00:20:25,473 --> 00:20:28,033
Look, we're none of us perfect, okay?
274
00:20:28,113 --> 00:20:31,503
And I won't bore you
with all the financial irregularities.
275
00:20:31,593 --> 00:20:36,189
I knew it was wrong what I was doing.
Just thought I'd get away with it. My mistake.
276
00:20:36,633 --> 00:20:40,342
They're coming down so hard now,
the regulating bodies, on any kind of fraud.
277
00:20:40,433 --> 00:20:42,947
Fraud, my God! Phillipa.
278
00:20:45,153 --> 00:20:48,463
So, what are you saying?
You're being taken to court?
279
00:20:48,553 --> 00:20:53,104
I've been to court. I've been found guilty.
I go back tomorrow morning for sentencing.
280
00:20:53,873 --> 00:20:57,229
My lawyer reckons twelve months.
Nine if I'm lucky.
281
00:20:57,833 --> 00:21:00,905
I mean, I'll cope. I've got to cope.
282
00:21:01,593 --> 00:21:05,188
It's Stephen and Julie.
They've both taken it very badly.
283
00:21:06,233 --> 00:21:07,871
I can imagine.
284
00:21:07,953 --> 00:21:10,592
He'll be like a fish out of water
without me around.
285
00:21:10,673 --> 00:21:14,712
And she's just at that age where
the hormones are all exploding
286
00:21:14,793 --> 00:21:16,511
and she's confused about boys.
287
00:21:17,553 --> 00:21:21,592
I mean, she desperately needs a woman there...
288
00:21:22,153 --> 00:21:24,542
with a wise head on her shoulders.
289
00:21:24,633 --> 00:21:28,023
Who can steer her through
the quagmire of sexual relations.
290
00:21:28,913 --> 00:21:30,232
I'll bet.
291
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:35,067
Oh!
292
00:21:36,353 --> 00:21:37,672
Yes.
293
00:21:38,233 --> 00:21:43,432
It's a lot to ask of you, Alice, I know.
But that's what families are for, right?
294
00:21:44,193 --> 00:21:47,629
Yeah, he's just walked in, Jeff,
as a matter of fact. Yes.
295
00:21:48,073 --> 00:21:50,223
So, absolutely, I'll pass it on.
296
00:21:50,313 --> 00:21:53,510
Okay, if you can just watch
your shooting ratio, love.
297
00:21:53,633 --> 00:21:55,589
Yeah, we'll see you then. Cheers.
298
00:21:57,473 --> 00:22:00,670
-How are things on location?
-Very hot apparently.
299
00:22:00,753 --> 00:22:02,948
He said it's like a furnace in that room.
300
00:22:03,073 --> 00:22:04,950
'Cause they're right under the flight path
301
00:22:05,033 --> 00:22:08,708
they've got to keep all the windows closed
and there's bugger all ventilation.
302
00:22:08,793 --> 00:22:12,706
But they're all thrilled with the material.
He said the whole thing's got a real buzz to it.
303
00:22:12,793 --> 00:22:16,069
It's gonna be really different
to the rest of the series.
304
00:22:16,153 --> 00:22:20,271
And John's put together a bit of cut material
for you to have a look at.
305
00:22:20,353 --> 00:22:22,389
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
306
00:22:23,593 --> 00:22:26,585
-What?
-No, I've just...
307
00:22:28,313 --> 00:22:30,952
been getting a lot of static electricity today.
308
00:22:31,033 --> 00:22:35,788
Just after I'd polished the table, it was a
combination, maybe, the friction and the weather.
309
00:22:35,873 --> 00:22:38,262
Anyway, what happened to you?
You get whiplash or something?
310
00:22:38,353 --> 00:22:41,026
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
311
00:22:41,793 --> 00:22:42,908
What?
312
00:22:44,913 --> 00:22:46,426
What? Tell me.
313
00:22:46,833 --> 00:22:48,346
I went to an orgy.
314
00:22:50,073 --> 00:22:51,347
Yeah, right.
315
00:22:51,433 --> 00:22:54,231
-What did I say? I said you wouldn't believe me.
-An orgy?
316
00:22:54,313 --> 00:22:57,544
What are you talking about, Lloyd?
Who the hell in this world goes to an orgy?
317
00:22:57,633 --> 00:23:00,943
Well, I did, as it happens, in the early 80s.
318
00:23:01,033 --> 00:23:02,751
More times than I care to remember.
319
00:23:02,833 --> 00:23:07,224
And some bright spark, who shall remain
nameless, who works in the music business...
320
00:23:07,313 --> 00:23:11,101
thought it would be really wild and retro
to try and get us all back together again.
321
00:23:11,233 --> 00:23:15,749
-Kind of like a fornicator's class reunion.
-With all that that entails.
322
00:23:15,833 --> 00:23:19,872
I'd say that the average age
of the participants was 46, 4 7.
323
00:23:19,953 --> 00:23:21,830
God, it was sad.
324
00:23:21,913 --> 00:23:27,306
A room full of naked, middle-aged people all
doing stretching exercises before they got started.
325
00:23:27,393 --> 00:23:30,988
Twenty years ago, we'd of been banging away
to the Stranglers No More Heroes.
326
00:23:31,073 --> 00:23:34,304
Last night we could barely keep up with Eric Satie.
327
00:23:34,393 --> 00:23:37,271
The kind of thing to convince you
you're getting old.
328
00:23:37,353 --> 00:23:40,629
In those days, putting a joint out
meant something quite different.
329
00:23:40,913 --> 00:23:43,825
-Hey, that's very nearly a funny line.
-Thank you.
330
00:23:43,913 --> 00:23:46,222
Just needs a little fine-tuning.
331
00:23:46,553 --> 00:23:50,228
'Cause you know,
I'm feeling a bit creaky myself today.
332
00:23:50,793 --> 00:23:52,431
Did I have a weird night.
333
00:23:52,513 --> 00:23:57,712
This Irene woman from next door
turns up in my bedroom, can you believe?
334
00:23:57,793 --> 00:24:02,548
To tell me she's just got back with her husband.
I mean, what's that all about?
335
00:24:02,873 --> 00:24:07,742
You know, 'cause remember after that dinner party
last week, she was all over me and....
336
00:24:07,833 --> 00:24:10,472
I mean, I admit for my part,
337
00:24:10,553 --> 00:24:14,102
I was not above
shamelessly mauling her body, but....
338
00:24:14,193 --> 00:24:16,104
And what made it worse, when she came in
339
00:24:16,193 --> 00:24:19,230
I had just been having this really erotic dream
about my dentist.
340
00:24:19,313 --> 00:24:22,589
-As you do.
-Who I hasten to add is a woman, but...
341
00:24:23,633 --> 00:24:26,101
I don't know what it was, you know?
342
00:24:27,673 --> 00:24:32,349
The fact that I'm lying there
stretched out beneath her...
343
00:24:33,353 --> 00:24:38,666
completely at her mercy as she's leaning over me.
344
00:24:38,753 --> 00:24:42,587
Her breasts softly brushing against my shoulders.
345
00:24:42,913 --> 00:24:47,270
And I'm there, you know,
with my mouth gaping wide open
346
00:24:47,353 --> 00:24:51,141
as she's drilling into me and packing my gums,
347
00:24:51,233 --> 00:24:54,828
screwing in all these clamps.
348
00:24:55,793 --> 00:24:58,626
God, you know,
there's all this Freudian symbolism going on,
349
00:24:58,713 --> 00:25:00,590
I just woke up steaming.
350
00:25:00,673 --> 00:25:04,143
I tell you, this could put a whole new spin
on my next appointment.
351
00:25:33,953 --> 00:25:35,272
Bye!
352
00:25:42,873 --> 00:25:45,433
You know, the biggest irony here...
353
00:25:45,513 --> 00:25:49,552
that all that had been going on for two years
and I had no idea.
354
00:25:51,433 --> 00:25:55,790
All these clandestine accounts and funds
she was squirreling away for our old age.
355
00:25:56,313 --> 00:25:57,826
Not an inkling.
356
00:25:59,353 --> 00:26:01,708
You know, I'm supposed to be a news editor.
357
00:26:01,793 --> 00:26:04,512
Couldn't see a story that was right under my nose.
358
00:26:04,593 --> 00:26:05,912
Yes, well.
359
00:26:07,193 --> 00:26:11,232
I think that worktop's
looking pretty spotless now, actually.
360
00:26:11,313 --> 00:26:15,670
I know, I'm pathetic. Look at me.
Pouring all my angst into a dishcloth.
361
00:26:15,753 --> 00:26:18,267
Not a bit of it, Stephen, don't be silly.
362
00:26:19,513 --> 00:26:22,710
I think it says a lot about a man
who's prepared to clean.
363
00:26:22,793 --> 00:26:25,591
It's a very rare and virtuous quality.
364
00:26:28,593 --> 00:26:29,912
I mean...
365
00:26:29,993 --> 00:26:33,542
I know it must seem as if your whole world
has just collapsed right now, but....
366
00:26:33,633 --> 00:26:37,182
God, Alice,
if I ever get through this in one piece....
367
00:26:37,273 --> 00:26:41,710
You'll get through it. Of course you will.
Because people do.
368
00:26:43,233 --> 00:26:44,382
Look...
369
00:26:44,953 --> 00:26:47,945
do you know one of
the most horrible things in life...
370
00:26:48,833 --> 00:26:52,382
is the speed that time just flashes past us.
371
00:26:52,473 --> 00:26:55,271
How quickly a moment becomes a memory.
372
00:26:55,353 --> 00:26:58,151
But that can work the other way as well,
you know, because...
373
00:26:58,233 --> 00:27:01,270
you'll be amazed how soon she'll be back here.
374
00:27:02,313 --> 00:27:04,508
The two of you, you know....
375
00:27:05,233 --> 00:27:08,748
You'll have learned something
from the experience. It's always the way.
376
00:27:10,393 --> 00:27:13,908
And you'll be around, won't you?
To begin with, at least.
377
00:27:13,993 --> 00:27:16,348
Of course I will. Absolutely.
378
00:27:20,433 --> 00:27:25,746
It's gonna seem so weird here without her.
And the house is gonna be so empty.
379
00:27:27,633 --> 00:27:30,705
-The dishwasher's just....
-It's okay.
380
00:27:46,273 --> 00:27:48,070
So how are you faring, Julie?
381
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:52,223
You know you've got to try and be strong,
for your dad's sake
382
00:27:52,313 --> 00:27:54,747
because he's a right wreck down there, I tell you.
383
00:27:56,153 --> 00:28:00,624
What am I gonna do, Auntie Alice?
I'm gonna have to kill myself.
384
00:28:02,073 --> 00:28:07,067
I was already gonna have to kill myself before
after I got dumped by this boy at school.
385
00:28:07,153 --> 00:28:12,273
-Before all this happened.
-Oh, God. So, now you've got to kill yourself twice.
386
00:28:14,113 --> 00:28:18,903
Listen, a great girl like you,
there'll be loads of other boyfriends.
387
00:28:18,993 --> 00:28:21,553
Yeah, except I'll never get another one now, will I?
388
00:28:21,633 --> 00:28:24,227
-Why ever not?
-Because...
389
00:28:25,193 --> 00:28:29,186
I'm different to all the other girls.
I don't talk like them.
390
00:28:29,793 --> 00:28:34,344
'Cause they're all like,
"Hey, I'm so cool," and "That's so not true."
391
00:28:34,433 --> 00:28:37,664
And "She was like, 'Hey' and I was like, 'Chill'."
392
00:28:37,753 --> 00:28:40,472
And "fess up" and "don't diss me".
393
00:28:41,673 --> 00:28:44,392
I mean, why can't they speak properly, you know?
394
00:28:44,913 --> 00:28:50,351
I mean, Mum was always teaching me
how important it was to...
395
00:28:50,873 --> 00:28:54,866
express yourself clearly and intelligently
if you want to get anywhere in life.
396
00:28:56,713 --> 00:29:00,672
Of course, she's serving a jail sentence now
for embezzlement, but....
397
00:29:00,753 --> 00:29:05,031
I'm sorry I just can't say all those things
which, of course, makes me totally weird.
398
00:29:05,113 --> 00:29:06,785
I don't think you're weird.
399
00:29:07,593 --> 00:29:12,508
I think the fact you're a bit different from them
and want to think for yourself is wonderful.
400
00:29:13,193 --> 00:29:17,072
Always remember,
"A cliché is the handrail of a crippled mind."
401
00:29:18,833 --> 00:29:21,267
That's very good.
402
00:29:22,033 --> 00:29:24,866
-Who said that?
-A man named Spike Milligan.
403
00:29:25,553 --> 00:29:29,228
Oh, yeah, I think Dad's got a load of his books.
404
00:29:30,393 --> 00:29:33,783
'Cause that's another thing.
No one I know ever reads.
405
00:29:33,873 --> 00:29:37,183
I know. It's one of the best things there is.
406
00:29:37,753 --> 00:29:40,108
To lose yourself in a good book.
407
00:29:41,753 --> 00:29:43,106
In fact...
408
00:29:43,193 --> 00:29:47,027
there's one I'm definitely going to lend you
when I'm finished because...
409
00:29:47,113 --> 00:29:48,944
I think you'd get a lot out of it.
410
00:29:52,153 --> 00:29:55,031
Unspeakable. Truly unspeakable.
411
00:29:55,113 --> 00:29:57,832
It was just how I felt. It makes one despair.
412
00:29:58,793 --> 00:29:59,942
But...
413
00:30:00,633 --> 00:30:03,147
you cannot possibly know what I was reading.
414
00:30:03,233 --> 00:30:04,461
From your reaction,
415
00:30:04,553 --> 00:30:08,307
it can only have been that letter from some
old colonel in Oxshott, or wherever it was,
416
00:30:08,393 --> 00:30:11,351
expressing support for America's adventures
in the Philippines.
417
00:30:11,433 --> 00:30:14,903
Which any sane person knows
is an act of the purest imperialism
418
00:30:14,993 --> 00:30:16,949
and he concludes with the comment,
419
00:30:17,073 --> 00:30:20,270
"War is heck
but they must not weaken in their resolve."
420
00:30:20,353 --> 00:30:23,311
Can you imagine
the warped morality of any man alive
421
00:30:23,393 --> 00:30:26,146
who would use the words "war is heck"?
422
00:30:26,233 --> 00:30:28,872
I just thank heaven he is not my husband.
423
00:30:28,953 --> 00:30:32,184
Just as everyday
I thank heaven that you and I are together
424
00:30:32,273 --> 00:30:35,709
and that life is as perfect as it can be.
425
00:30:43,353 --> 00:30:44,706
What is it?
426
00:30:45,673 --> 00:30:47,106
What's wrong?
427
00:30:47,993 --> 00:30:50,553
No, no. It's nothing at all.
428
00:30:51,633 --> 00:30:54,625
As you say, as perfect as it can be.
429
00:30:55,233 --> 00:30:56,985
Some more tea?
430
00:31:17,993 --> 00:31:20,632
GIL: What am I doing here?
431
00:31:20,713 --> 00:31:23,625
I'll probably find it was someone called Bill
she wanted to see
432
00:31:23,713 --> 00:31:26,102
and she just didn't have her teeth in.
433
00:31:26,193 --> 00:31:32,189
But listen, it's an hour of my time and...
maybe she just needs cheering up.
434
00:31:57,753 --> 00:31:58,822
Er...
435
00:32:00,713 --> 00:32:02,510
Mrs Andrews? Hi.
436
00:32:05,593 --> 00:32:10,189
Probably don't remember me.
I live next door to Bob. My name's Gil Raymond.
437
00:32:10,273 --> 00:32:13,583
Just thought I'd pop by, see how you were.
438
00:32:13,713 --> 00:32:14,987
Gil?
439
00:32:15,393 --> 00:32:17,429
Oh, Gil.
440
00:32:19,673 --> 00:32:21,982
You picked up my spoon.
441
00:32:23,473 --> 00:32:24,792
Excuse me?
442
00:32:25,393 --> 00:32:26,872
In the garden.
443
00:32:27,393 --> 00:32:29,429
You picked up my spoon.
444
00:32:30,033 --> 00:32:31,671
Erm....
445
00:32:33,793 --> 00:32:35,784
Oh, so I did.
446
00:32:50,273 --> 00:32:53,583
Oh, God, listen, what a day that was.
447
00:32:54,073 --> 00:32:57,907
She never wanted me there in that house
in the first place.
448
00:32:57,993 --> 00:33:00,871
Oh, I'm sure that's not true.
449
00:33:00,953 --> 00:33:03,183
You don't know her.
450
00:33:03,273 --> 00:33:05,389
She's a nasty piece of work.
451
00:33:06,473 --> 00:33:09,146
The way she used to treat me sometimes.
452
00:33:09,753 --> 00:33:14,588
And the things she used to say.
And he was no better.
453
00:33:15,713 --> 00:33:18,989
Wouldn't lift a finger for me unless he had to.
454
00:33:20,393 --> 00:33:21,542
And then....
455
00:33:22,273 --> 00:33:25,868
Then he started mucking about with prostitutes.
456
00:33:27,953 --> 00:33:30,023
He was a pervert and...
457
00:33:30,513 --> 00:33:34,028
she was a mean, spiteful bitch.
458
00:33:34,993 --> 00:33:36,790
And I tell you now...
459
00:33:38,033 --> 00:33:40,103
they deserved each other.
460
00:33:40,993 --> 00:33:43,791
Oh, well, my gosh.
461
00:33:44,353 --> 00:33:48,665
How about I pour you
another cup of tea because....
462
00:33:48,753 --> 00:33:54,191
What do you think?
This one looks like it's getting a bit...cold.
463
00:33:54,993 --> 00:33:56,062
Darling.
464
00:33:59,193 --> 00:34:02,151
Gil's been down at the nursing home
with your mother.
465
00:34:11,273 --> 00:34:16,586
Obviously, they're gonna call you, but I said....
You know, I felt I should be the one to....
466
00:34:16,673 --> 00:34:20,063
I suppose we can't say
we haven't been expecting it.
467
00:34:20,753 --> 00:34:24,029
For some time now
she'd been gradually winding down.
468
00:34:25,473 --> 00:34:28,590
-And at least it was peaceful.
-Oh, no.
469
00:34:28,673 --> 00:34:31,870
I just wish we could've been there.
470
00:34:35,393 --> 00:34:39,022
So, what were her last words? Do you remember?
471
00:34:39,953 --> 00:34:42,865
Her last words were....
472
00:34:46,193 --> 00:34:47,626
Actually, yes, I do.
473
00:34:47,713 --> 00:34:51,228
She said the two of you deserved each other.
474
00:34:51,913 --> 00:34:53,107
Ah.
475
00:34:56,233 --> 00:34:59,703
Anyway, I'll just, you know.
476
00:35:01,113 --> 00:35:03,229
I'm just really sorry.
477
00:35:11,473 --> 00:35:15,830
So, what sort of fruit
does he like on his cereal? Bananas?
478
00:35:17,113 --> 00:35:18,592
He's not keen.
479
00:35:19,273 --> 00:35:20,706
I know what you mean.
480
00:35:20,793 --> 00:35:23,466
There's always those long stringy bits
down the side, aren't there,
481
00:35:23,553 --> 00:35:26,306
you can't bring yourself to eat. Why is that?
482
00:35:26,393 --> 00:35:27,587
Oh, no.
483
00:35:28,553 --> 00:35:29,622
God.
484
00:35:30,313 --> 00:35:32,952
-What's happening?
-It's those two guys from school.
485
00:35:33,033 --> 00:35:34,512
Gary and Jamie.
486
00:35:34,593 --> 00:35:36,743
Oh? They look nice.
487
00:35:36,833 --> 00:35:39,063
Yeah, except watch how they completely ignore me
488
00:35:39,153 --> 00:35:42,782
because I'm about as interesting to them as a fly.
Bet they don't even say hello.
489
00:35:42,873 --> 00:35:45,546
-Hey, Julie, you all right?
-How's it going?
490
00:35:45,633 --> 00:35:47,942
I'm okay, thank you, ish. How are you?
491
00:35:48,393 --> 00:35:50,031
Yeah, good. Yeah.
492
00:35:50,113 --> 00:35:52,946
So is that right, your mum's been
sent to prison? Like, what was it?
493
00:35:53,033 --> 00:35:55,308
Charges of fraud and gross malfeasance.
494
00:35:55,433 --> 00:35:59,346
-Sounds as if you know all about it.
-And so she's, like, banged up in there
495
00:35:59,433 --> 00:36:01,901
with all those slags and ratbags, like in Bad Girls?
496
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:04,826
-It's not quite like that actually in real life.
-I know, but....
497
00:36:04,913 --> 00:36:07,711
Well, she's a pretty major criminal though, yeah?
498
00:36:09,153 --> 00:36:12,782
-She have to wear one of those uniforms?
-Yeah, with all the arrows all over it.
499
00:36:12,873 --> 00:36:13,988
Yeah!
500
00:36:15,473 --> 00:36:18,146
So, what are you doing this afternoon
'cause we're just hanging out?
501
00:36:18,233 --> 00:36:20,542
Yeah, I mean, do you fancy coffee?
502
00:36:23,273 --> 00:36:24,991
Yeah, of course.
503
00:36:25,073 --> 00:36:30,193
No, of course I want you to.
It's just I can't make tomorrow or Saturday.
504
00:36:31,113 --> 00:36:33,866
That's all. How about Sunday?
505
00:36:34,353 --> 00:36:37,106
No. No, that would be perfect.
506
00:36:37,673 --> 00:36:39,789
Oh, my gosh, you'll never guess....
507
00:36:41,193 --> 00:36:44,663
There's no question it's been the making of
her, this whole business with her mother.
508
00:36:44,753 --> 00:36:47,506
Seems to have turned her
into a major celebrity overnight.
509
00:36:47,593 --> 00:36:49,026
I know.
510
00:36:49,113 --> 00:36:53,391
She's got five dates so far on the strength of it
to my certain knowledge.
511
00:36:53,473 --> 00:36:56,465
Kids, I don't know. Another world.
512
00:36:57,473 --> 00:37:01,466
Gosh, what's this? You're really spoiling me.
Three days running.
513
00:37:02,593 --> 00:37:06,871
Well, you know.
It gives me a chance to try some things
514
00:37:06,953 --> 00:37:09,513
I'd never bother with just for myself.
515
00:37:09,953 --> 00:37:12,148
So tuck in.
516
00:37:12,593 --> 00:37:14,788
I know, but it's time I got my act together.
517
00:37:14,873 --> 00:37:17,512
I don't want you coming round here
every night, do I?
518
00:37:18,313 --> 00:37:19,632
Whatever.
519
00:37:21,073 --> 00:37:24,270
So, how's life in the newsroom?
520
00:37:24,553 --> 00:37:29,183
Oh, I don't know, Alice.
I think you get too close to it all sometimes.
521
00:37:29,913 --> 00:37:32,746
You know, we had this op-ed piece today
a guy had written
522
00:37:32,833 --> 00:37:36,667
about the threat being posed to world peace
by the militant Christian right.
523
00:37:37,673 --> 00:37:40,233
And this is a retired bishop, I have to say.
524
00:37:40,313 --> 00:37:44,511
And a veteran CND campaigner, you know,
the still small voice of calm.
525
00:37:44,593 --> 00:37:47,903
It was 2,000 words and the editor spiked it
526
00:37:47,993 --> 00:37:50,587
'cause he didn't want to offend
the majority of our readers
527
00:37:50,673 --> 00:37:54,382
who probably do believe, and I'm quoting,
"The West has a God-given franchise
528
00:37:54,473 --> 00:37:56,703
"to impose its creed upon every nation."
529
00:37:56,793 --> 00:37:58,226
I know.
530
00:37:58,313 --> 00:38:00,907
-War is heck.
-Sorry?
531
00:38:01,553 --> 00:38:02,986
I'm quoting.
532
00:38:03,673 --> 00:38:07,985
People who can't say the word "hell"
but have no problem creating it.
533
00:38:09,273 --> 00:38:11,343
Now, this is delicious.
534
00:38:11,433 --> 00:38:14,903
I sincerely hope that
you'll be staying over again tonight.
535
00:38:15,513 --> 00:38:18,073
Is that okay?
Save you the trouble of driving me back.
536
00:38:18,153 --> 00:38:20,587
Absolutely, and...
537
00:38:22,193 --> 00:38:24,707
I can have another glass of wine.
538
00:38:26,553 --> 00:38:30,990
Do you know what I was thinking about the other
day? The first time we shared a bed together.
539
00:38:32,313 --> 00:38:34,702
Oh, God. Yeah.
540
00:38:34,793 --> 00:38:37,353
Think I was five, you were six.
541
00:38:37,953 --> 00:38:40,831
When you used to come over
and stay for the weekend,
542
00:38:40,913 --> 00:38:44,110
then Dad would take us out
to the Downs for a picnic.
543
00:38:44,593 --> 00:38:49,109
Sit there smoking his pipe
while the two of us went off to play together.
544
00:38:50,393 --> 00:38:54,591
Yeah. As you said, a moment becomes a memory.
545
00:38:56,313 --> 00:38:57,985
Sorry about that.
546
00:38:59,193 --> 00:39:03,584
This looks brilliant
'cause, I tell you, I'm absolutely famished.
547
00:39:57,153 --> 00:40:02,352
Oh, I don't know,
that isn't bordering on incest, is it, Ali?
548
00:40:02,433 --> 00:40:05,266
-I mean, your own cousin.
-Oh, probably.
549
00:40:05,353 --> 00:40:08,584
So, what? It will never come to anything.
It's just....
550
00:40:08,953 --> 00:40:10,830
I don't know, this last week or so,
551
00:40:10,913 --> 00:40:13,905
I can't remember ever feeling so comfortable
with someone.
552
00:40:13,993 --> 00:40:17,781
I suppose because there are no hang-ups there
for either of us.
553
00:40:17,873 --> 00:40:20,307
We're not worrying about where it's going or...
554
00:40:20,393 --> 00:40:23,669
trying to judge each other on any level,
we're just....
555
00:40:23,753 --> 00:40:27,746
Anyway, there's no way it could ever develop
into anything, obviously,
556
00:40:27,833 --> 00:40:31,951
because, for a start, he's a happily married man.
557
00:40:32,033 --> 00:40:35,230
What are you talking about?
You can't possibly have met someone else.
558
00:40:35,313 --> 00:40:37,986
-You're in prison.
-Stephen, do we have to have a scene?
559
00:40:38,073 --> 00:40:41,304
You always have to do this.
You have to overreact and start
560
00:40:41,393 --> 00:40:43,111
fulminating in front of everyone.
561
00:40:43,193 --> 00:40:46,503
What do you expect me to do? Hand out cigars?
God, Phillipa.
562
00:40:46,593 --> 00:40:49,153
We've been married 1 7 years.
What are you telling me?
563
00:40:49,233 --> 00:40:52,430
You're in here eight days,
you've had some kind of epiphany?
564
00:40:52,513 --> 00:40:54,344
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
565
00:40:54,433 --> 00:40:57,027
-I think he means....
-I know what he means.
566
00:40:58,473 --> 00:41:00,111
The answer's no.
567
00:41:00,873 --> 00:41:03,307
It's a man, okay.
568
00:41:04,193 --> 00:41:07,151
His name's Derek. He works in the library.
569
00:41:07,233 --> 00:41:09,906
He's been so kind and helpful to me...
570
00:41:10,633 --> 00:41:12,589
with my reading...
571
00:41:12,673 --> 00:41:15,790
and opening my mind
to all sorts of new possibilities.
572
00:41:18,753 --> 00:41:22,189
We both know it, Stephen, I failed.
573
00:41:22,753 --> 00:41:24,983
As a wife, as a mother.
574
00:41:25,793 --> 00:41:29,991
And, right now,
I just badly need a change of direction in my life.
575
00:41:31,273 --> 00:41:32,945
The truth of it is, so do you.
576
00:41:33,033 --> 00:41:36,628
For God's sake, you deserve better than me,
you deserve....
577
00:41:38,393 --> 00:41:40,111
I'm sorry.
578
00:41:40,193 --> 00:41:42,627
Look, perhaps it's best if we just....
579
00:41:54,713 --> 00:41:56,032
Sorry, Gil.
580
00:41:56,113 --> 00:42:00,106
-Have you got a minute?
-Hi. Actually, you know, I was just off to location.
581
00:42:00,193 --> 00:42:01,785
Is it important?
582
00:42:02,593 --> 00:42:06,108
My mother has left all her money to you.
583
00:42:06,873 --> 00:42:10,502
-You're saying she changed her will?
-Two weeks before she died.
584
00:42:10,593 --> 00:42:13,346
Had it all properly redrafted and witnessed
at the home.
585
00:42:13,433 --> 00:42:18,109
Without saying a word to you guys?
I'm sorry, I'm very confused here.
586
00:42:18,193 --> 00:42:19,706
As are we all, Gil.
587
00:42:19,793 --> 00:42:23,945
That my mother-in-law in what has been
legally confirmed as a "sound state of mind"
588
00:42:24,033 --> 00:42:27,787
-should bequeath her entire estate....
-We're talking about GBP1 7,000.
589
00:42:27,873 --> 00:42:31,468
"To Mr Gil Raymond,
of 1 5 Carpenters Lane, Larch End,
590
00:42:31,553 --> 00:42:33,828
"for picking up my spoon."
591
00:42:36,393 --> 00:42:38,111
God, that's....
592
00:42:38,273 --> 00:42:40,992
Look, much as I appreciate, you know,
593
00:42:41,073 --> 00:42:44,588
her very generous gesture,
this is all a bit embarrassing.
594
00:42:44,673 --> 00:42:49,701
I mean, obviously, there's no way I could accept,
or dream of keeping this money, so....
595
00:42:49,793 --> 00:42:53,422
Well, you know, of course that's exactly
what we thought you'd say.
596
00:42:53,513 --> 00:42:57,825
Didn't I say we can absolutely trust Gil
to do the right thing whatever happens?
597
00:42:57,913 --> 00:43:03,306
Oh, God. No, no, you can put your minds at rest
on that one. I mean, please.
598
00:43:03,833 --> 00:43:05,949
Have faith in our love for each other?
599
00:43:06,993 --> 00:43:10,952
But how can I rest
when I know in my heart something troubles you?
600
00:43:11,033 --> 00:43:15,663
Jack, there is no burden in the world
you should bear alone.
601
00:43:16,033 --> 00:43:17,307
Tell me.
602
00:43:19,633 --> 00:43:22,545
Just over a week ago, it all became clear to me.
603
00:43:23,953 --> 00:43:29,505
Call it sixth sense,
call it intuition, or some strange metaphysic
604
00:43:29,593 --> 00:43:32,505
but suddenly I realised...
605
00:43:33,753 --> 00:43:37,871
that perfect as our lives appear to be,
the pair of us together...
606
00:43:39,113 --> 00:43:43,152
there is one wretched, brutal fact
607
00:43:43,233 --> 00:43:46,828
that will forever stand in the way
of our true happiness.
608
00:43:48,953 --> 00:43:50,432
My darling...
609
00:43:53,353 --> 00:43:54,832
we don't exist.
610
00:43:56,073 --> 00:44:00,669
The two of us, you and I,
are merely characters in a work of fiction.
611
00:44:00,753 --> 00:44:05,543
Everything about us, our minds, our bodies,
everything we do and say,
612
00:44:05,633 --> 00:44:08,306
the product of a writer's imagination.
613
00:44:08,753 --> 00:44:12,143
And our world of consummate bliss
614
00:44:12,233 --> 00:44:17,944
is no more than a hopeless romantic idyll
that in real life, I fear could never be.
615
00:44:19,753 --> 00:44:21,948
My God, say it isn't so!
616
00:44:24,913 --> 00:44:27,791
MAN: Sorry, Jeff, we've got another one.
We're gonna have to stop it.
617
00:44:27,873 --> 00:44:30,148
Oh, my God. It's so hot!
618
00:44:30,913 --> 00:44:34,542
Thank you, Virgin Atlantic.
I'm bloody melting here today.
619
00:44:38,713 --> 00:44:40,431
Great tag. I love that.
620
00:44:40,513 --> 00:44:43,744
The way you subvert
the whole reality to question your whole premise.
621
00:44:43,833 --> 00:44:47,109
Martin, are you well? How was New Zealand?
Very wet, I hear.
622
00:44:47,193 --> 00:44:49,548
I mean echoes of NF Simpson and all that.
623
00:44:49,633 --> 00:44:52,670
Jeffrey, sorry, mate,
we've got to be on those reverses by 4:00
624
00:44:52,753 --> 00:44:56,666
or the excrement's in the air conditioning.
Didn't they do well? You must be pleased.
625
00:44:56,753 --> 00:45:00,632
Well, yeah, it's like a whole extra dimension
to what I wrote which...
626
00:45:01,913 --> 00:45:03,869
really rounds it all out.
627
00:45:05,473 --> 00:45:08,033
Yeah. So, anyway....
628
00:45:08,113 --> 00:45:10,707
What do you think about this thing
with my neighbours?
629
00:45:10,793 --> 00:45:14,502
I mean, don't you think that it's all totally bizarre?
630
00:45:14,593 --> 00:45:18,427
Yeah, it is bizarre.
But, I suppose, rather touching that...
631
00:45:19,513 --> 00:45:22,710
when it came down to it, at the end of her life,
632
00:45:22,793 --> 00:45:27,503
she didn't have any time for her own son
or the woman he married.
633
00:45:29,713 --> 00:45:34,867
The only thing that really meant anything to her
was you picking up that spoon.
634
00:45:36,073 --> 00:45:37,586
Oh, God.
635
00:45:37,673 --> 00:45:42,110
Just got a real shiver down the back of the neck
when you said that.
636
00:45:42,193 --> 00:45:45,742
You're right, like a real Rosebud moment.
637
00:45:45,833 --> 00:45:48,347
Guess I'm gonna have to go away
and give it some careful thought.
638
00:45:48,433 --> 00:45:49,661
I don't think I will.
639
00:45:49,753 --> 00:45:52,426
-I'm seeing Amanda tonight, my dentist.
-You're kidding?
640
00:45:52,513 --> 00:45:56,108
No, you don't want a cavity full of crumbs.
Once her tongue goes in, no way.
641
00:45:56,193 --> 00:45:59,583
We're meeting up for a drink, that's all it is.
Maybe a bite to eat afterwards.
642
00:45:59,673 --> 00:46:01,629
Hey, how you doing?
643
00:46:01,713 --> 00:46:04,785
We were just saying, weren't we,
it's all looking really great.
644
00:46:04,873 --> 00:46:06,386
Really, thanks.
645
00:46:06,473 --> 00:46:09,226
What about the breakfast scene,
"War is heck", all that stuff?
646
00:46:09,313 --> 00:46:11,952
-Right on the money, we thought, didn't we?
-Yeah?
647
00:46:12,033 --> 00:46:14,388
Most people
aren't even going to get it probably but....
648
00:46:14,473 --> 00:46:19,228
No, you know, I actually heard a woman say that
on Newsnight during the last US election.
649
00:46:19,313 --> 00:46:21,986
You know, this awful woman
from the State Department
650
00:46:22,073 --> 00:46:26,305
who was banging on about the case for Iraq.
And it was so quick, it was like,
651
00:46:26,393 --> 00:46:28,907
you know, how you kind of just freeze, like,
652
00:46:28,993 --> 00:46:31,712
"Did she really say that or did I imagine it?"
653
00:46:33,033 --> 00:46:37,345
I mean, I think I'm probably the only person
in the country who picked up on it.
654
00:46:40,513 --> 00:46:44,392
So, what do you think?
She's actually serious about this man.
655
00:46:44,633 --> 00:46:46,863
Talk about shock. I do feel for you.
656
00:46:47,433 --> 00:46:50,425
But, the thing is, you have to somehow...
657
00:46:50,513 --> 00:46:54,711
find a way out of it
and let go of all that torment and analysis.
658
00:46:54,793 --> 00:46:57,626
I know I sound like one of those
West Coast self-help books.
659
00:46:58,273 --> 00:47:01,663
But that's because
there's one I've just been reading...
660
00:47:01,753 --> 00:47:03,550
The Power of Now,
661
00:47:03,633 --> 00:47:09,151
if you really start to listen to what he's saying,
that you've got to try and focus on the present,
662
00:47:09,233 --> 00:47:14,785
because that's actually all we've got, and
spiritually try and lose all that mental baggage....
663
00:47:14,873 --> 00:47:18,707
Any poppadoms, sir? Madam, for you?
Would you like plain or spicy?
664
00:47:18,793 --> 00:47:20,306
Plain, thank you.
665
00:47:20,393 --> 00:47:22,429
-And spicy for me, please.
-Spicy, for sir.
666
00:47:22,513 --> 00:47:26,347
Thank you.
I know, it's interesting you said all that
667
00:47:26,433 --> 00:47:29,903
because once I went away
and started thinking about everything....
668
00:47:31,393 --> 00:47:33,509
How can I put this?
669
00:47:33,593 --> 00:47:37,029
The awful thing, or the good thing,
depending how you look at it,
670
00:47:37,113 --> 00:47:41,186
is that I actually found that
I wasn't as shocked or upset
671
00:47:41,273 --> 00:47:43,150
as I suppose I should have been.
672
00:47:43,313 --> 00:47:46,146
-Oh, really?
-Which sort of suggests....
673
00:47:46,233 --> 00:47:49,623
Anything to drink at all? Small cocktail or aperitif?
674
00:47:49,713 --> 00:47:52,750
Or, would you like to see our wine list here?
675
00:47:52,833 --> 00:47:56,382
-Just a glass of white wine, thank you.
-And a pint of lager for me, please.
676
00:47:56,473 --> 00:47:58,429
-Lager.
-Thank you.
677
00:47:58,513 --> 00:48:00,981
You see, there's something that...
678
00:48:01,873 --> 00:48:07,505
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, Alice,
but when my mother conceived me
679
00:48:07,593 --> 00:48:12,383
it was actually about
1 2 months before she met my dad.
680
00:48:12,633 --> 00:48:15,511
And so, you know, strictly speaking...
681
00:48:15,593 --> 00:48:20,189
I'm not related, by blood,
to your side of the family at all.
682
00:48:21,633 --> 00:48:23,351
I didn't know that.
683
00:48:24,713 --> 00:48:26,749
What I'm trying to say...
684
00:48:27,473 --> 00:48:30,943
sometimes, you know, late in the day....
685
00:48:31,033 --> 00:48:33,627
Can I tell you about
some of the specials we have today?
686
00:48:33,713 --> 00:48:37,103
Right. Yes, thank you.
Maybe this will keep till we get home.
687
00:48:37,193 --> 00:48:41,027
First we have the prawn jalfrezi, very nice,
with a niramish curry and Punjabi....
688
00:48:42,313 --> 00:48:44,827
And the bedroom, which is....
689
00:48:48,153 --> 00:48:51,270
Yes, I see what you mean about the post.
690
00:48:52,033 --> 00:48:55,105
Wouldn't want to forget that's there
in the middle of the night. No.
691
00:48:57,353 --> 00:49:02,108
And this must be the south-facing window you
were talking about. Looks out on the river.
692
00:49:02,993 --> 00:49:04,187
I bet that's....
693
00:49:04,993 --> 00:49:08,190
Yeah, great when the sun comes up
in the morning.
694
00:49:10,193 --> 00:49:12,753
You warm enough? I can turn the radiator up a bit.
695
00:49:16,513 --> 00:49:20,347
You know, I think I still got a bit of that tuna
lodged in here.
696
00:49:20,433 --> 00:49:23,345
In that gap next to the upper premolar.
697
00:49:24,953 --> 00:49:28,468
But, no, that was a great restaurant, wasn't it?
698
00:49:29,553 --> 00:49:31,225
Very nice ambience.
699
00:49:32,273 --> 00:49:35,583
So, what are you going to do, do you think,
about that old woman's money?
700
00:49:36,433 --> 00:49:41,826
Well, I don't know, 'cause, you know, she quite
obviously didn't want it to go to them, so....
701
00:49:41,953 --> 00:49:47,505
Maybe I should give it to charity or something.
I mean, in deference to her wishes because....
702
00:49:48,753 --> 00:49:51,711
I don't know. What do you think I should do?
703
00:49:53,633 --> 00:49:55,032
I think...
704
00:49:58,353 --> 00:50:00,264
that you should come and sit down.
705
00:50:00,553 --> 00:50:01,986
So, what will she do?
706
00:50:02,073 --> 00:50:04,382
Go straight to school tomorrow
from her friend's house?
707
00:50:04,473 --> 00:50:07,590
Yeah. Her dad will give them both
a lift in I imagine.
708
00:50:07,673 --> 00:50:10,983
Now, I've actually
got some herbal tea here, if you prefer.
709
00:50:11,073 --> 00:50:14,270
-Lemon and ginger?
-Actually, yes, I will. Thanks.
710
00:50:14,753 --> 00:50:16,072
And...
711
00:50:16,873 --> 00:50:20,468
that was all very lovely tonight.
Thank you, very much.
712
00:50:20,553 --> 00:50:22,145
It's no problem.
713
00:50:24,473 --> 00:50:26,384
This morning's teacup.
714
00:50:27,913 --> 00:50:30,268
You must be feeling better.
715
00:50:30,353 --> 00:50:33,663
And a whole basket of laundry
still waiting to go in.
716
00:50:33,753 --> 00:50:37,223
-You'll be running out of sheets.
-Do you mind? Thanks.
717
00:50:39,553 --> 00:50:40,702
Yeah.
718
00:50:41,073 --> 00:50:45,863
And I know that Julie's really appreciated you
being around these last couple of weeks.
719
00:50:45,953 --> 00:50:50,708
-I think there's quite a lot of you in her, actually.
-Oh, dear. The poor girl.
720
00:50:51,953 --> 00:50:53,545
No, it's....
721
00:50:53,913 --> 00:50:56,871
What I was trying to say earlier on that...
722
00:50:57,913 --> 00:51:02,225
now I feel, I suppose, released in a way.
723
00:51:02,873 --> 00:51:05,103
From Phillipa. It's....
724
00:51:07,073 --> 00:51:10,702
This is gonna sound so callous,
calculated, it's not meant to be.
725
00:51:10,793 --> 00:51:13,865
I know. It's very hard sometimes.
726
00:51:15,673 --> 00:51:18,506
You know, when you just wake up one day...
727
00:51:19,673 --> 00:51:24,542
and suddenly find you have feelings for someone
you never even knew were there.
728
00:51:26,433 --> 00:51:31,666
You don't plan it or legislate for it, it's just....
729
00:51:35,993 --> 00:51:39,030
-Oh, God.
-Do you know what I mean?
730
00:51:40,313 --> 00:51:41,792
I think I do.
731
00:51:42,753 --> 00:51:44,391
You do, don't you, Alice?
732
00:51:44,513 --> 00:51:49,382
Because I always thought there was
a kind of almost telepathy between the two of us.
733
00:51:49,473 --> 00:51:53,352
-Like a sixth sense.
-Or maybe just a boring old fifth sense.
734
00:51:54,073 --> 00:51:58,510
-Sorry?
-We're talking about Janice, aren't we?
735
00:52:01,873 --> 00:52:05,627
When did all this start? When she was wiping
the chocolate off your shirt or....?
736
00:52:05,713 --> 00:52:10,946
I know, it's a complete nightmare.
What with the kids and Malcolm and everything.
737
00:52:11,753 --> 00:52:15,746
That's all been falling apart, apparently for
sometime, so at some point or other
738
00:52:15,833 --> 00:52:18,506
they're gonna have to sit down
and have a very serious talk.
739
00:52:18,593 --> 00:52:22,745
And in the meantime,
the two of you have just been.... What?
740
00:52:22,833 --> 00:52:27,861
-Around here in the afternoons while he's at work?
-You make it sound so sordid.
741
00:52:29,953 --> 00:52:31,591
I suppose it is.
742
00:52:33,673 --> 00:52:34,947
Anyway.
743
00:52:37,593 --> 00:52:39,549
Nice to know the Ysatis was a hit.
744
00:52:46,433 --> 00:52:48,663
Perhaps, I'll pass...
745
00:52:48,753 --> 00:52:50,471
on that cup of tea.
746
00:53:15,073 --> 00:53:16,426
Huh.
747
00:53:17,073 --> 00:53:19,792
-What?
-No, it's just....
748
00:53:20,553 --> 00:53:22,544
1 00% nylon, that's....
749
00:53:23,593 --> 00:53:27,871
You really haven't had much luck
with women, have you?
750
00:53:27,953 --> 00:53:31,866
-Just lately.
-And this would be an iron bedstead, then.
751
00:53:32,713 --> 00:53:36,388
You've obviously been meeting
all the wrong people.
752
00:53:37,113 --> 00:53:41,550
Only I'm thinking that too much friction for me
at the moment might be a slight problem....
753
00:53:41,633 --> 00:53:43,624
Hey, look. Relax.
754
00:53:45,313 --> 00:53:48,146
I'm not gay or narcoleptic,
755
00:53:48,233 --> 00:53:51,828
or Catholic or covered in tattoos.
756
00:53:53,153 --> 00:53:56,384
I'm just your ordinary, everyday dental surgeon...
757
00:53:57,113 --> 00:54:00,105
who happens to think you're very special.
758
00:54:02,313 --> 00:54:04,873
I bet you say that to all the guys.
759
00:54:07,473 --> 00:54:09,145
Actually, Gil...
760
00:54:10,313 --> 00:54:13,305
you're the first man I've ever made love to.
761
00:54:13,513 --> 00:54:16,346
So, let's both pray I get it right.
762
00:54:51,953 --> 00:54:54,421
GIL: Well, in the immortal words,
763
00:54:54,553 --> 00:54:57,829
"Here's another nice mess
I've gotten myself into. "
764
00:54:57,913 --> 00:55:01,906
All her adult life she's been saving herself
for that moment?
765
00:55:01,993 --> 00:55:06,066
It's like what's she saying?
I'm the man of her dreams?
766
00:55:06,673 --> 00:55:11,030
I'm not the man of anyone's dreams.
I'm the stuff of nightmares.
767
00:55:11,753 --> 00:55:13,584
'Cause, you know, to look at her,
768
00:55:13,673 --> 00:55:17,666
you'd think she was so progressive
and contemporary and experienced.
769
00:55:18,913 --> 00:55:21,507
And now, she's never had sex before.
770
00:55:21,593 --> 00:55:24,710
She probably expects sparks
to come flying out of her fingers
771
00:55:24,793 --> 00:55:26,784
every time we do it.
772
00:55:28,233 --> 00:55:33,148
But then, she's a lovely person,
she's warm, intelligent and highly skilled.
773
00:55:33,673 --> 00:55:36,745
You should be flattered she wants to be with you.
774
00:55:36,833 --> 00:55:40,712
And maybe it'll all work out
and she'll turn out to be the love of your life,
775
00:55:40,793 --> 00:55:43,227
just the way you wrote it in the show.
776
00:55:43,313 --> 00:55:46,111
That whole idea you got from Irene that day
777
00:55:46,193 --> 00:55:49,822
about the one human being on earth
who's really right for you.
778
00:55:50,793 --> 00:55:53,148
Oh, God, Bob and Irene.
779
00:55:53,233 --> 00:55:57,192
That's another whole can of worms
I've got to open sooner or later.
780
00:55:57,273 --> 00:56:01,107
Sorry, Gil, just run that past me again.
The World Wildlife Fund.
781
00:56:01,193 --> 00:56:05,903
-Yeah, I just thought, you know, it would be....
-That's like pandas, rhinoceroses and tigers?
782
00:56:05,993 --> 00:56:09,269
'Cause I think you said once she always loved cats.
783
00:56:09,353 --> 00:56:13,232
-GBP1 7,000.
-I mean, it's never enough, obviously.
784
00:56:13,313 --> 00:56:18,626
And they do so much great work 'cause
you've got these performing bears, in Russia,
785
00:56:18,713 --> 00:56:23,503
and they rescue them, you know,
and make sure they get a decent quality of life.
786
00:56:23,593 --> 00:56:26,665
So, if anyone deserves your mother's money....
787
00:56:33,593 --> 00:56:36,665
The thing is,
you've just got to try and snap out of it, Ali.
788
00:56:36,753 --> 00:56:39,551
It's not rocket salad. I've told you before.
789
00:56:39,633 --> 00:56:43,592
I mean, you read all this stuff about how
you're supposed to deal with all your problems.
790
00:56:43,673 --> 00:56:49,384
I know. It's all very well in theory.
I just wish I didn't get sucked in like that.
791
00:56:49,473 --> 00:56:52,271
For one moment, you know,
the defences are all down.
792
00:56:52,353 --> 00:56:54,548
You think it's all going to have
this nice happy ending,
793
00:56:54,633 --> 00:56:57,386
well, from my point of view anyway, and then....
794
00:56:57,473 --> 00:57:00,146
Life just kicks you in the teeth...every time.
795
00:57:00,233 --> 00:57:04,112
From what you would saying, this other cousin
of yours, what's her name, Janice?
796
00:57:04,193 --> 00:57:05,831
Sounds like a right drip.
797
00:57:05,913 --> 00:57:08,586
I suppose that was a sure sign
when you think of it.
798
00:57:08,673 --> 00:57:12,382
The clashing clothes of two people
who really didn't get on.
799
00:57:13,513 --> 00:57:17,665
The worst of it all, he's got no idea obviously,
about her and Stephen.
800
00:57:18,793 --> 00:57:22,468
And now tonight we're all going off
to see this play together at the Lyric.
801
00:57:22,553 --> 00:57:25,750
With me just there basically
to make the number up.
802
00:57:25,833 --> 00:57:28,108
Still wondering whether to give it a miss.
803
00:57:28,193 --> 00:57:30,946
That's supposed to be really funny
from what I've heard.
804
00:57:31,033 --> 00:57:32,705
No, you should definitely go.
805
00:57:32,793 --> 00:57:35,353
Get a few drinks down you.
At least have a good chuckle.
806
00:57:35,433 --> 00:57:38,982
The Daily Mail calls it "a real, riotous rib-tickler".
807
00:57:39,073 --> 00:57:41,382
Well, there you are, then.
808
00:57:41,473 --> 00:57:43,907
I suppose so, but I don't know.
809
00:57:43,993 --> 00:57:46,348
Whenever I go to the theatre to see a comedy,
810
00:57:46,433 --> 00:57:48,901
I seem to be the only one there
who's not laughing.
811
00:57:49,033 --> 00:57:52,582
She'll be here any second.
812
00:57:55,913 --> 00:57:58,302
MAN: Oh, for God's sake, give it here....
