All language subtitles for Act of Will - episode 2 - starring Victoria Tennant, Kevin McNally, & Elizabeth Hurley (1989)

M Piano

Hey, lord, are you here?

I do.

So, muzzy, Dad Bailey.

Hello, Maggie, me too.

Hey, that was Janney.

All right.

Up.

Evening, what an old?

Duke, what the wind's blowing in.

Hello, ma'am.

I put the kettle on.

I can't stop.

We've got company tonight.

I didn't think you dressed up like that for us.

Evening, Dad.

I'd like you fancy for the 230, Kamala.

All the night go.

Come all the way down from Bishop Auckland.

Bishop Auckland to be knackered by now, surely.

Yeah.

So, where's the latest recruit to his Majesty's Army?

Upstairs.

I'll tell him you're here.

Frank, miss it's here.

So, you finally give him a mission to join up, then?

What else for the lad, is there?

Not where the way things are in this country now.

More getting laid off every day.

You're all right.

A vial is on your Vincent.

They're not having any problems.

No.

We're going to build our throwman, Balfrey, actually.

Mm.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

It's a nice throwman, Balfrey, actually.

Mm.

Glad to wear it.

Girl like Order wouldn't take too well to life on the jolt.

So, you got the sofa in the end?

Yes.

Delivered last week.

Oh, it looks lovely.

The whole place does.

Bit small.

But you've done wonders.

Well, where's Vincent?

At his mother's.

We'll be back in time for supper.

He's down there a lot, isn't he?

I think he misses all the rough and tumble.

I'm glad he's not here yet.

There's something I want to tell you.

What?

Well, it's not official yet, but I might soon be following in your footsteps.

Getting married?

No!

Gwen, how wonderful.

Can't stop into the pub, Dad.

I promised Audra be on by seven.

No.

To my way, I think, and you should put down on your visits to the station anyway.

Here.

Have you been talking to our Audra?

Hey, but I'm always in my head.

It's not like our girls have been sent.

You can't expect her to put up with things the way they did.

Duh.

Anyway.

I can't change the habits of a lifetime.

You have to make allowances for other people, son.

Especially people from other wars.

I am trying, Dad.

I mean, tech tonight.

I can be bending over backwards to be charming to Miss Gwen Thornton

who gives me the bloody pip.

Anyway, have one for me.

Sit up.

Oh, there's Vincent now.

Evening, Gwen.

Nice to see you.

You're looking lovelier than ever.

Thank you.

And how's life treating you, then?

Couldn't be better.

Shall I tell him, Audra?

Tell me what?

I'm about to get engaged.

Oh, congratulations.

Mind you, I'm not surprised.

I knew you and Mike wouldn't make much longer.

It's not Mike.

You are?

It's Jeffrey Fremantle, one of the senior doctors at the infirmary.

You mean you've ditched Mike Leslie?

Well, I wouldn't put it like that.

My God, the poor glider.

He thinks the world of you, Gwen.

I know that.

And I'm very fond of him.

When Jeffrey came along, I realized that...

You must be mad.

Thanks.

You're making a big mistake, you know.

They don't come better than Mike Leslie.

I don't think this is any of your business.

No, it isn't.

Well, I'm only trying to make a see, since.

Mike's worth telling of your stuff, Sherkins Sultan.

So, however much money they earn.

Sorry, Audra.

You have to excuse me.

I am not staying to have Jeffrey insulted.

I'll be in touch.

Don't bother to see me out.

The silly thing is, I feel the same as Vincent.

Mike and Gwen are so well-suited.

Jeffrey, free mantle.

He's not right for her, Lorette.

He's older than Gwen, isn't he?

Well, 15 years, I think.

It's not only that.

He's gonna try and change her.

I know he will.

He's gonna try and make her into the sort of wife he wants.

Instead of just our Gwen-y.

It's funny how people always try to change the people they love.

Yes.

You know me to get a long time, aren't you?

Since we were both 16.

There's never been anyone else.

I think of the girls I went through before Audra.

First time I saw her was at this party of Charlie's.

Said he had a sister.

I hadn't pictured anything like Gwen.

All the other girls was sitting there demurely.

Suddenly she burst in in this rainbow colored dress.

It's if the whole room lit up.

Yeah, it was like that when I first met Audra.

There might have been no one else there.

Different says you've got Audra.

Maybe we haven't bit of find out if we can fix you up with someone else.

What about our sister, Lorette?

You met her at our wedding.

She's a good looker though. I say it myself in sweet nature.

That's not good, Vincent. I know you mean well, but just leave it alone.

Well, don't I've got me, mate?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I've got me, mate.

You'd be better off with our Lorette than you would up, Peg knows a little about it.

Well, maybe my family's not good enough for you either.

Audra.

I'm asleep.

I'll soon wake you up.

Oh, I can't.

I can't just switch on because you happen to feel like.

You didn't used to find it difficult?

You didn't used to come home. It's a rock.

You're enough to drive up low to drink.

Stop it.

You're my wife for God's sake.

It doesn't give you the right.

Oh, doesn't it?

Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Hi.

Hey, this isn't Vincent Proud.

Millie Armels.

Good looking as ever.

I'm sorry to hear about, Ted.

I'll try to make it to the funeral, but.

Yeah.

Are you your married now?

Hi.

So someone pinned you down at last.

She must be a raggo.

I'm the lucky one.

So, are you, Millie? You're coping all right?

Yeah, I shouldn't complain.

Ted left me well enough provided for.

On the look of those poor devils, I can't be lucky stars.

Must be lonesome for you, though, eh?

I wouldn't say no to a better company down there.

Still living down the packages.

Hi.

Have you passed any time?

I feel like a beer.

Something.

I may well take you up on that.

I'll see you.

Right, then.

It's not so important that you can't wait to have to suffer.

This.

Came to Dave from Whig Falls in Leeds.

Hi.

Oh, I?

Is that all?

Sorry, Mr. Couple of payments.

They're threatening legal action.

You never told me you bought a sofa on high purchase.

And then the bed and the wardrobe.

Well, sitting I paid for them.

And your savings, of course.

Savings?

That's a laugh.

Last of my savings went on clothes for the wedding and the honeymoon and all that stuff.

Why didn't you tell me?

I could have sold a piece of mother's jewelry.

I'm not a sponger.

That's your stuff.

Don't be so stupid.

Belongs to us both.

Not to my way of thinking it done.

And you made me tell that I'm that job.

Don't start going on about that again.

At least I could have helped pay off some of those debts.

Look, I'm the man in this house and if there's any debts to be paid, I'll pay them.

I believe you'd rather go to jail and let me help you.

At least I get some peace there.

We're living beyond our means.

Well, maybe you should have married some pillar of society like your friend Gwen.

Maybe you're right.

I'm beginning to wonder.

Me too.

I'm going to be a little bit more than a friend.

Me too.

We're living beyond our means.

Well, maybe you should have married a pillar of society like your friend Gwen.

Is that the way it is with our men?

You soon get used to it.

She does, too.

She's always gone to be from now on.

I believe you have a true gift for healing, Audra.

Don't waste it, will you?

I order Edith.

Take Levitts and to be my wedded husband.

To have him to hold from this day forward.

For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer.

Till death must depart.

Please.

Audra, what you doing here?

Waiting for a tram.

I'm leaving him.

Oh, no.

You can't.

Have you had a row?

We're always having rats.

Oh, Audra, but surely that doesn't mean you have to go or leave.

Please, Lauren.

Don't make me change my mind.

Where will you go?

You've no one but us.

Back to Revan.

Later in Lennox, you'll give me a job in the hospital.

He'll be admitted as a patient if you sit around in the cold much longer.

He's the rain, too.

Let me take you back to the cottage and wake him up.

I'm not going back there.

Well, we'll come back with me to Mums.

Just for tonight.

At least it'll be warm and dry there.

So, what kind of silliness is this, then, Lass?

It's not silliness.

I just don't see any point in all being together.

Being it in your eyes, eh?

No.

Just an after all the women?

No.

No.

Then what's all this about him treating your badly?

I'm just tired of being on my own.

Wouldn't it be so bad if he'd let me go back to nursing?

He wouldn't feel like a man if his wife went out to work.

But it's all right for him to get into debt, is it?

He'd get out and bought some things on the high perches,

and now he's behind with the payments.

Hello, and that was Rashaven.

But you must let him deal with it himself.

You take my advice.

You go home and try to understand Vincent better.

But I do try.

You didn't want us to get married in the first place.

Well, only because I thought you'd end up wanting different lives the bare of your...

wasn't far wrong by the look of it.

Oh, you see, it's better for us to part now and we're still...

Oh, yes, you'd have it that easy, wouldn't you?

Marionnae, Strapent and Leisure, that's what I said to Vincent.

But would he listen to me? Oh, no.

Well, you've made your bed the bare of your...

and you'll have to lie in it.

Don't be much or so, no.

Laura, it stays mashed.

Come in, Mum.

And it's up to you, last to make it work.

Hey, what about him?

It's never the man that makes a marriage work. It's always the woman.

But that's not fair.

Whoever said a woman's life was fair.

Hello, Mum.

Just thought I'd drop in on me way home.

Audrey?

What are you doing here, love?

You feel an ill? You look dreadful.

You won't make me change my mind.

I'm leaving in the morning.

No, you won't. You're not going anywhere in the morning.

You'll be seen, Dr. Stolke.

Hello?

Oh, it's influence, I'm afraid.

There's a lot of it going around in our name.

So, see, she stays in bed and they give her plenty of liquids.

Right. It'll just have to take its course.

I see.

Oh, by the way, Vincent, there is something else.

It'll have to be confirmed, but I'll lay your tent to one. She's pregnant.

Oh, Audrey.

It's wonderful news.

I can't wait to tell me, Mum and Dad.

I knew it's talking about leaving me.

I've got now, can I?

Oh, don't look at it like that.

I love you, Audrey.

And you love me too. I know you do.

I love you, all right?

The loving's not enough.

It'll work out, you see.

It's just what we need.

And I promise I'll be a better husband too.

I won't go out so much in the evening and you needn't worry about them bills.

I had word from Fred Volly and guess what?

He's going to make me form when Jim Meadows retires next month.

Oh, that's good.

Hi.

Our son will want for nothing.

Oh, my daughter.

No, it's a boy.

I can feel him in my bones.

I will name him after both our deaths.

Alfred. Adrian.

Crouver.

I settled on the Krennoline wedding gown in the end.

Cream lace over satin.

And I'm having the longest train you've ever seen.

A length on lace?

You look like a dream.

Oh, I hope so.

I do want Jeffrey to be proud of me.

Come on, let's sit down.

Mustn't overdo it. Remember what the doctor said.

So, are you feeling any better?

Well, haven't been to sick lately, but, um,

one way or the other, I always seem to be out of sorts.

Oh, the first pregnancy is never easy.

I'm coming on top of the influenza.

So mind you take good care of yourself, my girl.

Oh, did I tell you?

Jeffrey's leaving me in Thermary.

Well, he's going to take consulting rooms in part place and leads.

Which will mean he'll be treating all sorts of smart people,

so there'll be a lot of entertaining.

That's why he's going to buy me a whole new wardrobe.

That'll be nice.

Whatever happens, Audra.

We'd always remain friends, won't we?

Of course we will.

Excuse me, look.

You have to go to York.

I'm to stay over, I mean.

That's only for a few days, love.

I've got to get the lads moving on this job.

Don't ever thought to slip up on it.

Dory.

Other little sleep over with you.

Your family had been so good to me.

All right.

We'll let her go, Chief. It's one of us now.

Audra?

What is it?

All right, I think the baby's starting.

Oh, here you go.

Be.

Oh.

It's not due for another two months.

Hello?

Who?

Yes, he is.

But what sort of time is this to call?

Oh, I see.

Yeah.

Yeah, hang on.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Yeah, hang on.

I'll go and wake him.

Mr. Crowder.

Perhaps I should.

Oh, they'll let us know.

Keep pushing.

Keep pushing.

Keep pushing.

Keep pushing.

Here it is.

There's a good girl.

There's a good girl.

My name's Crowder.

My wife's having a baby.

Please, please, please.

No, I've got to find out what's going on.

Mr. Crowder, please.

No, I've got to find out what's going on.

Mr. Crowder, please.

No, thank God you're here.

She all right?

I lied.

She's all right.

The baby.

He only lives for half an hour.

You cut the

Oh, Audra.

And to think of as a way when it all happened, at least I saw it.

I held it.

He existed.

Let's go and have a cup of tea.

I want to hear all about your honeymoon.

Not today.

It seems so trivial, loved.

Can't go on morning forever.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure you're not sure.

I'm sure you're not sure.

I'm sure you're not.

I'm sure you're not sure.

Not too far.

So, how was it all?

Well, wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful.

You want to perise first then?

Yes, yes.

We stayed at the ritz, and Jeffrey brought me a whole new wardrobe,

and then we went to the Riviera.

I've seen her several times since, and it's always the same.

Well, she puts on a brave face, but somehow the light's gone out of her eyes.

Not like you.

It's gone back into yours.

I'm pregnant again.

I thought so. I'm so glad.

Bids is the only one who knows.

How do you feel about it?

I know it's going to be all right, and I know it's going to be a girl.

Have you decided on a name for him?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, it's nice.

Oh.

It's nice.

It's nice.

It's nice.

It's nice.

It's made.

Couldn't resist it.

Oh.

When how extravagant it's beautiful.

There's a beautiful dress for a beautiful baby.

Oh, she's lovely, Audrey.

You are lucky.

I wish I could get pregnant.

You will just give it time.

Jeffery says it's all in my mind.

I'm too anxious.

How is Jeffery?

Oh, he's fine.

By the way, how are your brothers?

Well, they can't have heard their uncles yet, can they?

Didn't I tell you?

Frederick's getting engaged.

He's getting...

What is that?

Oh.

I fell down the cellar steps the other day.

Silly me.

Oh.

Jeffery was furious with me for being so clumsy,

so they could have broke a mnick.

Anyway, let me put these in some water,

or they'll be dead before someone brings a vase.

No time to ask them to do these nazis.

Oh, Jeffery.

Oh, Jeffery.

Oh, Jeffery.

Oh, Jeffery.

Alfred.

Oh, geez.

Oh, geez.

Oh.

Oh.

Come here, you're frightened.

Oh.

Oh, dear.

OK.

Name this child, Christina Edith Krava.

Christina Edith Krava.

I baptize thee in the name of the father

and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.

Vincent was so right to make us come out.

It takes me back to England. I'm a nursing.

Always, Gwen.

Haven't seen her since the Christening.

Vincent says she's getting too grand for me,

but I think she's trying to hide the fact

that she and Jeffrey aren't very happy.

Mike, still in love with her, you know.

Did he tell you?

He doesn't need to.

Let's have a nice pot of tea before we go home.

We can't stay away long enough for our Maggie.

She adores looking after that baby.

I must have been killing me.

Mine too, but it was worth it.

Audrey, where I might come quickly.

What is it, Maggie?

Is that Krista?

I think she's right, Paula.

She starts to get fractured after Vincent and Jack went off to the football match.

I kept going to check her, Audrey.

Oh, it's still dead.

She's very hot.

Not right. Run to the bathroom.

Get the thermometer. It's in the medicine chest.

Maggie, you cleared the table and put a clean towel on it.

What do you think it is?

Could be measles or chicken pucks.

It's been rash, though.

I didn't know what to do.

That's a grommet lap.

And then she starts to be sick.

She was sick?

Hi. I never saw such a funny way.

How do you mean funny?

Well...

I described the way she vomited.

It's difficult, sir.

Try. It's important.

Well, it sort of came straight out of her.

Like someone gave her a great thumb from the back.

Maggie.

I'm right now.

Doctor Stork, do you?

Yes, but go on.

Tell him the baby's sick and he's to come immediately.

I'm serious, just tell him exactly what you told me.

What do you think it is?

God, I'm wrong.

A combination of high fever and projectile vomiting.

Could be a minute, Janet.

There's no doubt about it. She's in a bad way.

I'll have her admitted to the fever we heard once.

Is it men and jitis?

You can tell me I'm a qualified nurse.

She must have come into contact with someone with TB.

You're a medical. Tell me, honestly.

What are the chances?

If she was older, it was an infant that age.

God wouldn't do it to us. Not a second time.

Oh, Mrs. Crowther.

I'm sorry, there's nothing more you can do.

She's in good hands.

I want to stay.

I'm afraid that's out of the question.

Jim, you need careful nursing and constant observation.

I'd like to look after myself.

This kind of nursing is highly special.

I had nurse children with men and jitis before.

Mrs. Crowther, there are regulations.

I don't care about regulations. I'm her mother.

I understand how you feel. Please.

My baby may be dying. I have a right to go on here.

Oh, Maitron, I'm afraid Mrs. Crowther.

Order.

Maitron Lennox. Oh, thank God.

You're going to do it, Christina. You're going to live.

Oh, no. No, no.

It'll make you feel better.

No.

You don't think?

You mean they're letting a nurse the baby herself?

Oh, it's special dispensation.

It's all heard of.

Mrs. Crowther, she's a major in Lennox, new at Ripon.

She says if anyone can pull Christina through his order.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

That is beautiful.

Ah.

Seventy- influx folks.

Ah.

They look like raving to each other way.

Oh.

It looks like we got ape Corps in the mostly on the morning.

All right then.

Ha.

All right.

Here we go again.

There we are.

And it looks a little cloudy.

There, darling.

Shh!

Shh!

Shh!

Hey, Trent.

A quen-free mantle.

Or a thaunton that was.

I was with you at Rippon.

Of course.

Order is for him.

Yes.

She told me you were matriof here now.

I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.

It was the veil.

I would say you've been in the wars.

Yes.

Walked into a cupboard door the other day.

Bought the ridiculous things.

How's the baby doing?

She's out of danger now.

Making progress.

No, it's a miracle.

An act of God.

I'd call it an act of will.

I'd be scared to bed.

Early style in the morning.

Mr. Vollionce to see me first thing.

Your home, Christina.

I'm this kid to bed. Early style in the morning.

Mr. Volly wants to see me first thing.

You don't mind me sleeping with her, do you?

As long as it's not for good.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

It's not for good.

You don't know how I've missed you this past month.

I think we all must last her.

It's never going to want for anything.

I'm going to give her the world.

One minute. I do.

Morning, Mr. Volly. I got your message.

Oh, come on, invincent.

Thanks.

Should be finished down at Brownlee's by that noon tomorrow.

That's done right well.

Find a bit of building, though, I'll state myself.

I'm sure it is.

You're the good worker.

You're a good foreman.

Best I've had.

That's why this isn't going to be easy.

I've got to close down.

Close Volly's.

I'm going into bankruptcy.

Oh, my God.

No alternative.

But why?

We've had plenty of contracts in the last year.

Oh, but after the buggers haven't paid up.

I've been working off credit for the past few months.

A mortgage's up to the hilt.

The banks won't lend me any more.

I'm sorry, Vincent.

I'm sorry, Vincent.

I'm sorry, Vincent.

I'm going to tell Audrey.

What?

You can afford to personal in of the week.

No notice, no bonus.

Nothing.

What are your chances of being taken on by another firm?

None.

I've asked around.

They're all in the same boat as Elaine blokes off.

How much have we got saved?

Enough to last us a month.

Oh, I'll find something.

There must be some casual work about.

I'll take in dress, mate.

I've been asked before.

And it's something I can do at home?

No, no, no.

Vincent, you can't afford to be proud now.

We've got Christina to think of.

There ought to be a price, didn't they?

It's all love and mercy miles.

Go and see those records.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Look, I'm sorry.

No!

I'm sorry.

Stay away!

Don't worry, I'm sorry!

You're lying, aren't you?

Come on.

Stand up again?

My shout.

No, really.

Two pints, please.

Milley Arnold.

Hello, Vincent.

I didn't know you were working here.

Just a couple of times a week,

Gives me something to do any evening.

I meant to drop in and see you, but somehow, you know.

Invitation's still open.

Cheers.

Sir, they were pleased with her at the hospital, will they?

Oh, do you like it?

She's amazing for 15 months.

Nice. It's my little smasher.

The only good thing about being on the dole is we get to see more of her.

Well, dear, is to your new job in London.

Thanks.

We'll miss you.

This good to know somebody in this bloody country's working.

Still no joy.

Oh, didn't that sell you?

I've landed a right plumb job for tomorrow, shoveling snow.

That was only after dragging around all the posh houses in Manner Road,

soft-sauking the housekeepers.

You tried everything, Mike.

How are you managing?

I'll just pay most of the bills that dress and make him work, and she...

The one that she'll think of me as a man anymore.

I'm sure that's not true.

You just push his little de-showage.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Harris.

Mrs. Crowther.

Mrs. Remantle asked me to tea.

I'm afraid there must be some mistake.

And that it was gonna help the afternoon.

Thought I'd just saw her at the window.

Oh, no, you couldn't have.

It must be one of the maids.

You're lying.

I'm not.

Let me in. I want to speak.

I'm sorry. The musta said it he said, Mrs. Harris.

That I wasn't to allow anyone to see her.

He's not here, no, listen.

Thank you.

Gwen!

It's me, can I come in?

Oh, my poor Gwenie.

Gwen!

Oh.

Oh, did he do this to you?

I'm so frightened of him, Andrea.

How long has this been going on?

Since the first few months.

I could never live up to his standards.

You won't let him leave him at once.

Go back to your parents.

I can't. It would kill mother.

Oh, I don't want her to know.

Tell you what, you come and stay with us.

Just until you get yourself sorted out.

Yes, and then to get this and help you collect the bags.

You'll start packing.

I'm not letting you stay here.

I never thought it would end like this.

You told me I was a fool to marry him.

I knew it's all orders should be a fool to marry me.

Happened we were both right.

Where are you going?

I told you not to go out.

What are you doing with that?

I'll tell you what she's doing.

She's leaving with me.

Now.

Don't.

It's a nasty car.

It's nothing to worry about.

Well, I hope he doesn't try and come around here.

He won't.

I told him we'll actually get in touch with Gwen again.

I said we drag his name to the Sunday papers and make sure all his patients are complimentary

to copy it.

I do believe you enjoyed it.

I did every minute of it.

I'll tell you what, it's wonderful.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here.

Why don't you go upstairs for now?

I'm glad you're here.

Oh, I see.

That's going to be the new excuse, is it?

Well, I suppose it's better than being tired at the time of the month.

Keep your voice down.

Why don't you just tell the truth that you don't want me anymore?

Oh, Joseph.

Get more reaction from an iceberg.

I do want you.

It's just...

I'm so afraid of getting pregnant.

So what have you did?

We can't afford it.

We've hardly enough as it is.

Well, don't blame me for that.

I don't.

I don't blame the blasted government.

Of course it's not your fault.

But if we had another baby, it would jeopardize Christina's chances.

For God's sake, woman, the child's not two years old and you're talking about our future already.

You won't have a future of Ilo planned for it.

Oh, go on.

You're going to run to your mother and you'll make a fuss of you.

I'm giving you the money for the bomb like you always does!

I hope that wasn't my fault.

No, Gwen.

It was mine.

I'm going to go to the house.

Hello, Millie.

Vincent.

Can I come in?

It was feeling like some company.

It's nasty.

Would you like to stay for supper?

Yeah.

Think I would.

You know, Christie.

I used to come here sometimes with mother and Freddie and William.

And would sit under this very same tree.

And the boys would play down by the stream there.

They'll dance, make boats out of sticks.

Can I move now, Christie?

It's alright, Emily.

No doubt about it.

She's got real talent.

Oh, Christie.

It's going to be a fine pain to one day.

Fine.

She takes after you and your dad.

She's going to be better than I ever was.

Maybe better than father too.

Come on.

Collect up the rubbish.

Oh, do we have to leave just now? Can I lie a bit longer?

No, I wish we could stay.

But we've got to be getting back. She's got homework to do.

What a Saturday.

We'll not get into Miss Mela's unless she does a bit extra.

Get where?

Miss Mela's Girl School. I put her down to sit the exam.

What, the push wrong with the fancy uniform?

Well, I've taught her all I can.

And I wanted to go to the art school in need when she's old enough.

And after that, to one of those colleges in London.

This is only a temporary job, you know.

We've never got a permanent form of this because I thought all that.

We could if I took on some private nursing, as well as the dressmaking.

They're looking for a night nurse for Ole Mrs. Jarvis.

No, Audrey. You work all hours as it is.

I'm not having a hell back through lack of money.

I am going to make sure she gets her chance, whatever it costs.

Just two full of dung ideas.

I normally lead to trouble.

I can't realize that you're being hard on the lass.

I'm not wrong in reaching for the stars.

As long as I do up full flat on the face, we'll let her about it.

Take no notice, over.

She loves other things to occupy her mind, too.

Right and we all will.

She'll sing this.

You don't have to consent.

No.

Let her eat.

I said so.

You never have to eat the Klai.

Then don't try to do it.

You've got to go.

Please wait.

Just put your tune on.

Please don't try to eat the Lassitronic.

You're going to miss yourself.

M.I.M.

It's good to see you.

Liz, Daddy, look at my new uniforms.

It's pan still, isn't it, aren't you smart?

It's quite the young lady.

I can't wait for them to start.

Hey, Audrey, listen.

Do you remember that tune?

What is it?

It's called When We Kiss Goodnight.

It's the first downside with your mother.

May I have the pleasure?

One, two, three.

Come on, Mummy.

Thank you.

This is London.

At 11.15, in about two minutes,

the Prime Minister will broadcast to the nation.

Audra.

I don't know when the recruitment office is low, but, um...

I intend to volunteer.

Don't.

Vincent, don't.

Don't.

Volunteering.

Inch it in off, the young ones will be gone.

I thought maybe you could say something.

Me.

Since when did he listen to me?

I can't understand it.

I mean at his age and when there's Christie to think of.

I can't.

I can.

At least this way he can stand up and be a man.

And what's that supposed to mean?

How do you think it is for him?

His wife working nights as well as days,

his mates, nigga and that.

Do you think I want it like that?

It's not my fault.

He can't...

It'd be enough for any normal woman.

You wouldn't settle for our ways of life, would you?

Too busy dreaming up grand plans for Christie.

Is it wrong to want the best for your child?

It depends on the price you have to pay.

Christie has a real talent for art.

I am not letting her waste it.

Then don't ask me why Vincent's going off to the war.

And don't blame me if he gets himself killed.

Oh, John.

You might be able to stop him going even now.

Just give up all this Christie nonsense

and go back to being a proper wife for him.

It's your choice.

Oh, Mom.

It's not as simple as that.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.
