um

You're late.

Sorry, it was unavoidable.

Train's on Sunday.

You know what they're like.

Unavoidable? I don't believe it. I've
eaten all the food.

You've eaten all the food?

No, that's serious.

This is all there is.

Told you.

What are all these candles for, anyway?
It's spooky.

This is what you used to go to with him
every night.

I just like it, that's all.

You've got to stop it.

You'll say grieving.

Grieving for a relationship.

Must make it ten times worse.

Thank you, Richard.

I've been waiting here for the last six
hours just to hear you say that.

It is all I need.

It is what you need. Come on.

I'm going to get you out of here. This
place is bad for you. No, there's

to go around here on a Sunday.

Oh, no, she can't even leave the house.
Come on, Natalie. There's no need to

overdo it.

Wait. Wait.

Wait.

What's that for?

Can't even get down the street without
one. Well, I was giving up.

Get off.

Stop it.

I don't like seeing you unhappy.

Well, I am unhappy.

I'm incredibly unhappy.

I mean, you buy a flat with your lover
and then he leaves you within two

Six and a half weeks, actually. There's
not many worse things.

No.

And our mum and dad are both gone.

You're the only person I can tell.

Which is terrible.

I haven't seen you for ages.

I'm sorry.

I've been really busy.

Students aren't busy.

It's a good course.

Planning pretend cities.

I'm very happy.

As I bet you are.

Raving it up in London.

Stop playing with others. What are you
doing?

You should always look in these wherever
you're going. You can judge a town by

what's in its tartars.

Stop it. That's disgusting.

Bloody hell.

Nat,

come on.

You're out of condition. Come on.

Come on.

Take this coat off.

Take your coat off.

Too much smoking. Look at you. Come on.

Which would make it better.

I wish I could wake up and be happy.

Just one morning it would be gone, this
feeling, and never come back.

You could make that happen.

Get out of town.

Start all over again.

A new career.

I'm too old to start again.

You're not too old, aren't you stupid?

That job was never what you wanted. A
buyer for that bloody awful store. You

wanted to be artistic.

I'm not artistic.

No, but you want to be.

Kiss me.

Come here.

I'm sorry.

I just needed something to hug.

Even you, even my little brother.

Go back to sleep.

And you haven't made me feel better, so
don't look so smug.

What's the matter?

I've left my wallet in your flat.

So go and fetch it.

I haven't got a key.

Please. I don't want to miss the train.

I don't believe this.

You appear out of nowhere. Use my flat
as a hotel. I hardly see you.

Just this time.

Please.

You have to get permission. You have to
ask my 14 -year -old boss.

I do for you. I can't believe it.

How's the job?

Now he asks.

It's horrible there. I've become a
secretary.

My boss is terrified and I'm going
backwards.

You know, I look somewhat creative today
and trendy and see what happens. I feel

like I'm 150 and 60 years old. Stop it.

Okay, okay. I can do anything you told
me so it must be true.

You're not listening.

No, no, I am. Look, it's just the train.

Look, we may need to talk to you now.
Try and do it here.

This is stupid. Go on, then.

Go. Go.

I'm sorry I missed the train.

And you'd better write or I'll kill you.
Ring two. Scotland's not that far away.

I may be busy.

No, you won't. Building a new town,
that's nothing. You'll have plenty of

Come on, where are you?

Oh, Richard, be there.

Hello?

Richard? Natalie, it's you.

It's only my sister.

Only?

Is that who you're talking to?

My, uh, my secretary.

We're, um, we're all alone here.

I suppose you're in the middle of
screwing her.

As it happens, yes.

But this is not a regular occurrence.

Jesus, you're incorrigible. It's four o
'clock in the afternoon.

We're celebrating our last few days of
freedom.

They've finally got the office finished.

This place is like out of a horror
movie.

Maybe it's time to move on again.

You always make it sound so easy.

Well, I've got a new job.

Another one?

Yeah, this one's on the continent, if I
get it. What? You mean you'll be going

abroad? Maybe, yeah.

Listen, Natalie, I've got to put some
clothes on.

I'll call you tomorrow, OK?

Promise. Yes, it might be an idea to get
dressed walking about naked in the

middle of your office. That's
ridiculous.

I don't like this conversation.

Frankly, I'm amazed to see someone like
you here.

The cut you'd be taking in salary is
immense.

I mean, all these jobs you've done, pan
-European, Brussels... Oh, taking a

notice of that.

Well, it was just luck, and I wasn't
happy doing them.

So you think you're going to get this
job, do you?

Not at the moment, no.

You mean you only get the terrific jobs
and this isn't one of them?

No, I mean, this interview's going
rather badly, so... Oh, don't smoke.

play with them.

I've changed.

I saw there was more to life than
planning new roads.

I discovered the environment a bit late,
mate. I'm not putting this well.

I've seen so much incompetence among
developers. Bad planning. I want to do

something about that.

You realise we have no money to speak
of?

There are no planning controls in this
part of the town. All we can do is hand.

You mean a sort of urban greenpeace?

I'll let you know. I'll call you.

No.

Tell me now.

I prefer to cut the bullshit, and I
imagine you do too.

Hello, I've an alert.

Okay, hang on.

Richard.

Richard, vocal for you. I can't take it.
It's your sister.

Oh, shit, yeah, I was meant to... I
suppose I'd better take it.

Hiya. You've been back six weeks. You
haven't called.

I did call.

I left a message on your machine.

I took it all yesterday.

You want to come over?

Meet Sinclair?

Yeah. Don't do that.

Sinclair. You didn't manage to make it
to the wedding.

Food. Food's up.

Hiya.

Come to lunch on Saturday.

1pm.

Yeah. Sure.

I'll try to make it.

Okay. Bye.

I'm beginning to think

we've made a real mistake

Oh, come in.

Come in, come in, come in, come in. Sit
down.

I'm delighted to see you all here.

I'm sure you will give us a clean bill
of health.

Now, you know you said on August the
4th...

Our new block will be an asset for the
whole area we want to share it.

Exactly.

We are proud of it, and as is the
regular practice in America, the public

be allowed to see the full glories of
our foyer at any time, and there will be

public tours of the building every day
of the week.

But getting in here, Mr. Dew, is more
difficult than entering Fort Knox. That

promise was crap, wasn't it?

I'm not aware of having made that
statement, but it's more than that.

Absolutely.

And talking of small matters, let us now
move on to the matter of Threepenny

Street.

Well done.

Yeah, well, Colin doesn't look too
pleased. What do you expect, applause?

From him?

Shit!

I was meant to go and have lunch with my
sister.

Forget it.

It's too late now.

She's married some boring guy I was
meant to meet him.

Why don't you go?

You're unbelievably late.

I know.

There's practically no food left.

I've eaten all the food.

What?

Don't you remember?

Nothing.

This house is extraordinary, Natalie.

I thought I'd come to the wrong place.

Are you going to come in?

Or are you going to admire it from out
there?

The brother.

At last. It must be the brother.

Yes, at last it is.

I've been eyeing that last piece of
pudding, wondering if I could possibly

it, and now you've turned up.

Sit, sit.

Have some cold soup.

It's all your fault we've eaten so much.

I don't know so much about you.

Most of it extremely interesting.

It's lovely to meet you.

Yeah, that adds to the flavor.

This is the estate.

Very impressive.

I love it here.

I thought when we moved here that we'd
stand out at Centrix amongst all these

rich pricks, but not a bit of it. The
place is full of madmen.

Dreamers.

Bank managers who want to be painters,
deep frees and merchants who want to be

poets who are really rather boringly
normal and restrained in comparison.

So you're reading Proust.

Volume 12?

Or is that just for our benefit? If you
carry that around, people automatically

think, Jesus, I'm guilty, I've never
read it. Proust.

I'm afraid that's nauseating to admit
it.

I have read the entire thing in French.

Stop showing off, Sinclair.

I bet she's enjoying it.

Apart from anything else, it makes me
feel so ignorant.

You must see the car.

Very predictable, I know, and it's very
vulgar showing it to people, but... It's

a magnificent car. I just can't help it.

I do believe I have to confess in
spending money and not just hoarding it.

Of course.

And fortunately, there's a lot of money
in being able to tell people what's

going to happen.

Business trends, analysis. And the
wonderful thing is that you can make an

lot even if you're wrong. Most people
don't realise that.

But I'm not wrong.

Not at all.

Come on, Nats.

Tea time.

Oh, no, Sinclair, not more eating. What
about your diet?

The diet starts tomorrow. Tea is
definitely overdue.

So, what do you think?

Oh, it's amazing.

And everything is wonderful.

And think there.

Oh, it's great.

Does he ever stop talking?

Not when he's eating, as you will see.

Does he ever let you say anything?

Yes, of course.

Once a week at least.

And how did you get to speak like this?

I've always spoken like this, haven't I?

Why are you wearing this?

What do you mean, why?

You wore it that night when I visited
you in your flat. You were like that.

I don't think so.

A brother and sister reunion. I intrude,
I withdraw.

You'd forgotten it was her birthday,
hadn't you?

No, birthday.

Blow them out separately, one by one.

Not like that.

Go on, darling, do it.

A wish for each one.

Can't we see me yet? Shh, shh.

I don't know when we're going to sing
happy birthday.

What are you waiting for? Go on.

Do you know they've made a new client?

cream dispenser market research show
that people really hated cream coming

of plastic things like toothpaste that
are made with cow not unlike this one

except i think you squeeze it out come

on haven't you finished yet

well that took long enough anybody think
you hadn't done it before

I never realized the home counties were
so beautiful.

All this, only the city.

Yeah, all sorts of things happened here.

This is the site of a great Victorian
party. They've had columns of elephants

here.

What about your new job?

Oh, it's fine.

They're very serious.

You mean they don't laugh at your jokes?

And my boss looks rather ill.

No, it's okay.

The office is decaying, which is
amazing.

But they're quite efficient.

Are you happy?

Oh, yes.

Yeah, but this isn't you, is it?

This house and everything.

Oh, it's me, all right. It's very much
me. Really?

Even though you never get to speak?

You do remember, don't you?

You keep saying that. I don't know what
you mean.

You all right, pal?

What?

Do I pass?

Do I meet with the brother's approval?

Oh, yes.

Very definitely.

It was like being inside a colour
supplement.

Pretty women draped about the place.
Golden -haired children. Food available

every surface.

Were you envious?

Envious? No.

No.

Or maybe a little.

No, it would drive me mad in less than a
week living like that.

Are you close, you two? You and your
sister?

Not particularly, no.

Not at all.

My parents separated when she was a
teenager. She went to live with Dad.

And now she's married a rich man.

Yeah, complete cop -out.

She applied for a job. He was the boss.
She didn't get the job, but she got in.

Anyway, you must come and see.

Is that some kind of an invitation?

Yeah, maybe.

Oh, thanks. How can I resist when it's
put like that?

I don't know what you two are up to.
Chat, chat, chat. Always at it.

I want those figures at the end of the
day. Do you understand?

I don't know what you're doing here. We
were just passing on the way to a

wedding in Greenwich.

Just couldn't resist dropping by, having
a peek.

Sinclair's here.

Can you come in?

Sinclair?

Over here.

He feels a little overdressed for this
place because of the wedding.

Forgive this intrusion, Richard. I feel
ludicrously incongruous for a place like

this. It's fine. Don't worry.

Not for so keen to have a nose around.

So this is what you wanted?

Yes, so it appears.

What plans are these?

Oh.

This is very interesting. I know about
this as it happens. I feel there may be

solution which nobody has mentioned
because we're all so obsessed with a

haunting.

Shouldn't that phone be answered?

Yeah, probably.

I think, Claire, we've got to go.

Yes, just one moment. This is extremely
interesting.

You don't belong here, this, isn't you?

Oh, yes, it is, very definitely.

I need to see you properly, talk about
something.

I'll make an appointment. Can you fit me
in?

Sure. Why not?

Yeah.

Good.

There.

Do I keep this?

No, I believe we need that.

You are four hours late.

Sorry, I had to go shopping for St
Clair. Is this Deliveroo?

I've been stuck in here for hours. I
couldn't go out. You were late for

even later than this. So it is
Deliveroo.

What's the matter with you, Richard?

At least I might have been able to watch
the cricket, but it's been raining in

Manchester for fuck's sake. It's only
just started.

Relax, for Christ's sake. You're wearing
that again.

Is that on purpose too?

Maybe this time, yeah.

Anyway, this isn't much of a greeting.

Haven't even shaved.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what that was for.

Can I have a glass of yourself?

Is it through here?

Yeah.

So this was what was for lunch, was it?

Come on.

This is it.

Okay.

It just happened.

We won't mention it again.

I knew you'd say that. I don't know why
it happened, but it's stopped.

It's over.

I mean, look at your flat.

Oh, it's a bed.

I don't want to go up there.

How many girls have been up there
recently?

Hardly any. I've been very celibate.
Really?

This is nice.

I spent my savings on this place.

No, this is not a good idea.

Please, Richard, I shouldn't have
started this. We don't mention it. Just

sit over there. Is that an order?

Just sit.

So, is it convenient?

Convenient.

This flat for buses.

For buses?

Yes, buses.

Yeah.

I should probably think there are some
buses.

What number buses?

I don't know.

Um, small buses. You know those ones
that beetle about?

Hoppers.

Hoppers?

I've got some crumbs.

No!

You're gonna stop me, aren't you?

You're gonna stop me.

Come on, stop me.

I'm just lying here. I'm not doing
anything. I'm not touching.

I'm not doing anything.

Okay.

Okay what?

Are you clean? Are you clean everywhere?

Yeah, of course.

I don't believe it. Maybe you are.

Please.

I'm just putting a tape on.

And to think we never even really liked
each other as kids.

Okay, that's the last bit.

What do you mean, last bit? It just
happened.

And we don't mention it.

Don't know what got into us, etc.

Precisely. It's never going to happen
again.

It's your fault for being away so long.
It's always my fault.

Of course.

I'm going to make the carrots.

With lots of butter.

They'll be the best I've ever tasted,
I'm sure.

I tried to stop it happening and it's
finished.

Oh, by the way.

Sinclair wants to have lunch with you.

Sinclair? Jesus, you mention that now.

Sure, it's no problem, miss.

Here you are.

Good. I've just got to... Drop something
off, come with me.

They left their own 50.

Are they? Yeah.

They've become such a common feature
that people hate them. They much prefer

old claustrophobia. They all have to
pretend that they don't suffer from

vertigo. And they feel so exposed.
Everybody can see them.

Imagine coming out of a truly terrible
meeting and seeing straight down there.

It's frightening.

But nobody admits it.

Last delivery, I promise.

These ashtrays are interesting, aren't
they? Ridiculously large. People

their importance in such a crass
fashion.

What will a historian make of these
ashtrays? You're interested in

Sinclair. Let's lift the ashtrays.

This secretary here, you stay there.
He's expecting me.

All done, simple.

So many people pretend they're busy,
don't they?

Meetings about meetings.

Most of it is bullshit. It's just a way
of protecting themselves.

I like to get to know people.

Of course. I like to find out about my
clients. I like to poke around in their

personal lives and tell you that some...
Pretty interesting things are going on.

There's so much cocaine being taken.

Drink, too.

Suddenly, derrical temper tantrums
flaring up.

We're having one of our great picnics
soon.

They're not to be missed. You must be
there.

Natalie didn't want you to come for some
reason.

Hiya.

What's the matter with you?

What's happened? What's going on? It's
about Colin. He sent a memo. Yours

be somewhere.

He's ill.

I thought so. I knew he might be.

Hi, it's Colin.

Yeah.

Yes. Yeah, well, don't stare. Don't do
that.

Sorry.

I didn't know he was gay. He isn't. He's
not.

He's had it for some time. I knew,
actually. He's letting the office know

because he may be spending more time in
hospital.

And don't worry.

Hold the lift, please.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Oh, yeah.

I want to see those Trapani Street plans
by the end of the week, okay?

Yeah, of course. I'll make sure that
happens.

Now, don't forget, I've got a full
diary, so the sooner the better.

Understood.

Have a nice... Have a good weekend.

The sun is getting hotter every year.

I heard in New Zealand, people were
never burnt, and they've never been

before.

Wouldn't it be interesting?

Because of the greenhouse effect, people
started using parasols again.

So we ended this century using them,
just as they did at the end of the last.

You could market them, Richard. Make a
fortune.

Of course, there will be winds at 170
miles an hour, too. Storms like we've

never seen. They won't be much use
during those.

These miniature hurricanes are going to
get more and more.

Twice a year.

Trees are going to become quite a rarity
in southern England.

So you're a disaster freak, are you?

No.

Is it a fact?

I wonder if your hair will ever be its
real colour again.

Do you know her before?

Before?

Before Sinclair, of course.

He's changed her completely, apparently.

I wonder if she's really clever enough
for him.

I need to go for a walk.

Look for mushrooms.

But don't kill us.

You know the ones to pick.

You shouldn't be here.

Don't be silly.

Natalie.

I need to see you.

Shh.

Listen, we agreed. We agreed nothing,
and you want to see me.

We can't just pretend it never happened.
Can't we?

Don't you want to talk about it?

Ask why.

No.

Is it because our parents are dead? Is
it because we didn't see each other for

long time? There isn't a reason.

That's right.

I wonder what those two are talking
about.

Me, I shouldn't wonder.

St. Clair's coming. He can see. I don't
want him to think anything. You are just

my sister. What can he think?

Natalie!

Well, maybe we need a proper meeting to
clear this up.

Exactly.

I'm not coming to you again.

It's just possible... Well, occasionally
I go out of town for work.

Oh, yes, the employment agency.

Thank you. Nearly made me change my
mind.

Sometimes I go away to interview people.
Maybe I can say I'm doing that. Yeah.

Oh, don't whisper like that. I don't
want it to look as if we're plotting.

But we are.

I'm just making normal arrangements with
my brother.

He's making fun of my job.

Tell her she doesn't need to do that job
-poking little agency. It's ridiculous.

I'm a partner in it now.

It makes all the difference.

Tell her she doesn't need to work for
work's sake, meeting morons every day.

won't listen to me.

We can meet in Sinclair's parents' flat.

What? Are you crazy? What are you trying
to do? Don't worry.

They're away on a cruise. I've got the
keys. I sometimes use it when I'm in

town.

It's been redecorated. It's a bit
grotty, but it's somewhere to talk.

But this won't be for a fortnight,
Richard, if at all.

I can't wait that long.

Oh, yes, you can.

Of course you do.

Do you love me?

Of course I do.

Even though... Even though it's just me.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

It's only me.

I don't mind.

You can read it. I can see you edging
towards it.

Just one chapter.

It's the only thing that shuts me up,
isn't it?

I may have to go away one weekend. I
don't know. It's not decided.

No problem.

It may be cancelled.

Before that, I worked for Tesco's deputy
store manager.

Quite a big branch, just off the M25.

And then before that, in Guildford, I
was acting deputy manager at...

You need to get copies of this.

I am Montoya Montoya? Yes.

For once, you are.

Jesus.

It's like Rosemary's Baby, this place.

It's enormous.

Sinclair's grandfather made a fortune
out of margarine before the First World

War.

They had three flats like this once.

Margarine?

So long ago.

I never realized the money went back
that far.

I love these old apartment blocks.

This is going to pork, okay?

Okay, get things Get

things Out in the open

Why do you think... No whys.

You don't know what I was going to say.

All right. Just get under the seats and
sleep.

Where are you going?

Oh,

Selina.

Selina.

You've forgotten something, have you?

Yes? Yes?

Where's your bag?

It's for my brother.

I'm a pound on business,

giving myself a treat, going to the
theatre.

Here,

working.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye, Selina.

Bye -bye, Selina.

Yes,

yes.

I feel this big with Sinclair.

No, this big. Even this big.

Nice to be able to tell someone.

At last.

That's all that's going on here.

Understand?

Good.

What happens if he tries to ring you?

He won't. Not tonight.

Fortunately, he's out.

Tomorrow, I have to remember.

Oh, really?

Well, I wonder what he's doing.

What he's up to.

Maybe it's cheating, too.

This isn't cheating.

Absolutely not.

Anyway, that's an American expression.
Is he faithful?

Faithful.

Yes, I think he is. Well, it never
really occurred to me he wasn't.

We can see. He always goes in on
Saturday mornings to work.

Even when we have people over for lunch,
he insists on going in.

Nothing stops him. We can take a look at
him tomorrow.

Don't they know you're here? I don't
think so, no.

I hardly ever come.

We'll see.

I wonder if you could see if Sinclair
Bryant is in his office.

Mr. Bryant?

One moment.

What are you going to say if he is
there? It's silly.

No reply.

What? There is no reply.

I don't know. I don't know what I feel.

Shit!

What's the matter?

What's wrong? Just be... What's wrong
with you? Stop!

What the fuck's wrong?

Just be...

You're meant to be in the need.

Come on.

Come on!

Natalie,

great. I was just wondering when you'd
ring.

How are you?

Fine, but tired. Fine.

How's the hotel?

It's a little gloomy, but the rooms are
very big.

Big old provincial hotels can be very
depressing.

How's the food?

Good.

You would ask that.

Food. Well, it's excellent. I'm just
going out for a quick bite now, and then

I'm going straight to bed very early
tonight, okay?

Okay, darling.

How are the beds?

Beds?

Beds are... I've got a single average,
I'd say, quite nice.

To have a real affair.

Lies. Deceit.

All that.

You don't feel... No questions.

I told you they were forbidden. You're
so calm.

We're doing something illegal.

A major taboo. Could go to jail and you
just seem to find it mildly relaxing.

We're not doing anybody any harm. We're
not sticking needles into our arms.

Killing ourselves with drink.

Just... Enjoy it, the last moment.

What if it wasn't the last moment? What
do you mean?

I mean, we could go off together
somewhere.

Like where?

I don't know.

Mexico?

People always go to Mexico in stores and
things, don't they?

When they're fugitives. But we're not
fugitives.

And how would we live?

Well, there are plenty of ways of making
money.

We could write a blockbuster novel.

You know, sort you by an airport. That's
easy enough.

I mean it. Shh.

Stop it.

It can't go anywhere. Don't think it.
Not even as a joke.

Being single.

What about it?

It's not as simple as it used to be.

Suddenly feeling older, are you?

My little brother.

No, no, no rip -offs.

Hello,

could you give me the number of the
Royal George Hotel, Nuneaton, please?

Now, I want to speak to Mrs.

Natalie Bryant, please.

You are in, Nuneaton.

Look, could you give me the name of
every hotel in Nuneaton, please?

It's urgent.

There's a flood in the kitchen.

Get this straight.

Hotels?

Whose hotels?

Talking to yourself.

There is an explanation.

Must be.

Who must do this?

Do things logically.

This place could have hardly changed in
50 years.

It's like a time warp, isn't it?

Yeah.

It'd be nice to stay here, wouldn't it?

No.

We don't need to go back yet.

Don't you see?

We really don't.

Listen.

Richard. Richard, listen to me.

Now, we don't see each other. Listen.

And we don't set eyes on each other
until you're going out with someone.

Get yourself a girlfriend.

You're setting me tasks now. I'm not
seeing you until that happens because

you're getting addicted to this. It only
happened twice. That's not addiction.

See? I fancy you.

And I love you as a brother, that's all.
And you fancy me, and you're beginning

to love me as a lover, and that's going
to end badly, messily.

Unless we're careful.

So maybe I've always fancied you a
little, and probably I should never have

anything.

So I found

myself a girlfriend, and then what
happened? Can I see you? You don't want

then. But if I do?

We'll see.

Richard. Come into the church and feel
no guilt. Come on. I dare you.

I promise you.

All right, just please, please don't try
to make it more.

I don't want it to be more.

You're in here.

Where did it go?

I went on an orgy of shopping.

You had the time.

I had most of the afternoon off
yesterday, between meetings.

I went on a spree to kill the boredom.

What?

It's lovely.

Very useful.

It's not meant to be useful.

I had a disaster with the washing -up
machine.

It doesn't matter.

You're hopeless with anything
mechanical, Sinclair.

How was the hotel?

Sorry? How was the hotel?

It was gloomy, I told you.

Huge and drafty.

What was it called?

I told you what it was called.

No, I just wanted to avoid it in the
future.

You've never been to Miami. Never likely
to go.

What is this?

It's fine. I don't need to know.

I was just curious.

The Royal George.

And it is a good idea to avoid it.

Thank you, not before time.

I wish we were getting somewhere.

So do I.

You haven't been to visit Colin in
hospital yet, have you?

No, I will.

I will, I promise. You keep putting it
off.

Is there something else?

Jessica, what are you doing tonight?

I've been meaning to ask you for some
time. What's that twinkle for? What

twinkle?

I don't believe this, Richard. The
vanity. Just get out of here before I

temper. I was just asking you out.

I thought you were meant to be something
of an expert. You seem decidedly rusty

to me.

Rusty? Certainly not. What's the answer?
No.

No. I've never seen anyone so obviously
thinking about another... Another what?

What... I was going to say another
woman, but it's more likely to be a 15

-old girl, isn't it? Who is she? Are you
at a loose end tonight because of her?

Or are you trying to forget her?

So you remember me? Of course.

Come on, I'm here now.

Just a minute. I've forgotten something.

Terribly.

I can never decide on which flavour to
use. What do you use?

I prefer Strawberry Elite.

You're safer with Strawberry Elite.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Fresh air at last.

Fresh air?

This is fresh air? Oh, yeah.

When you have people grabbing at you all
day, this is wonderful.

Free at last.

It's not like it used to be around here,
is it?

What do you want to do now?

Apart from that, of course.

I'm not sure I want to do that.

Not just yet.

Can I just be with you a bit, can I?

Maybe.

You know what you're like?

You're like someone who's trying to make
an alibi for himself.

Perhaps I am.

An alibi for what?

Not murder, anyway.

Something infinitely worse than that.

I promise you, Inspector, it wasn't me.

It wasn't me!

Someone with yellow socks will be
telling you it's going to be him.

Stop it.

You know what's going to happen. Don't
tell me.

But I tell you, I caught the afternoon
train from heaven.

Hello?

It's me.

Listen, we can arrange for a meet. Your
condition's being met.

Fulfilled.

Who is she?

Just something I know.

Slightly. Why?

Are you jealous?

Doesn't sound like a problem to me.

I can't talk now.

I'll think about it.

That was Richard.

He's got himself a new girlfriend.

Calling with progress reports at this
time of night?

He must be drunk.

Yes.

I don't think he is.

It's not right, is it? They should be as
hot as this in England.

You worry, Paula.

Worry? What's it about?

Oh, you know, anything and everything.

The end of the world.

Oh, bother.

Nothing much you can do about that.

And sex.

What's it about?

Oh, this is nice.

Let's just do this.

No more.

You mean it's better than nothing?

No. Too warm to do any more.

Do you think about sex a lot?

Some days I think about nothing else.

Around four o 'clock, usually.

It used to seem so simple, didn't it?

Except you're probably too young to
remember.

But now... There's a man at work who has
it.

Poor guy.

I'm sorry. Yeah.

I suppose soon almost everybody will
know somebody has got it.

Yeah, but him being right there, now, in
a strange way, it's almost like a sign

from I don't know where that what I'm
doing is right.

And what are you doing?

I'm just trying to escape.

Where did it go?

I don't know.

Well, where are you going?

Tell me. What do you have to do?

I've found a simple way.

It's better than any drug.

Any desert island.

Really?

So what do you need the alibi for?

Nothing very much.

I'm just in love with someone.

I thought you weren't coming.

I nearly didn't.

Is this new? No, not very.

We're not going up.

If you've got anything to say to me, you
can say it here.

Here? Yes. Go and sit over there.

You're always telling me where to sit.

So what do you want?

I want to touch you. I don't want you
to.

I did what you said.

Your task.

I don't believe you. I don't believe
anything's changed.

Why did you come here today, then, if
you don't want to?

Sinclair's been asking about the hotel I
stayed in.

Really?

Did he believe you? I think so. I don't
know.

Good.

Then this can last all summer, then,
can't it?

At least... No, Richard, you see, you
really need it and I won't have that.

If this is an addiction like you say it
is, then maybe I'm prepared to... Don't

say that. Don't say what? Say the
rubbish you're about to say, that you're

prepared to die for it because that's
crap.

You want... You want to pretend this is
all going to end tragically, something

enormously final, because you find that
idea exciting.

No.

That's not true.

I need you, Richard. I really need you
as a friend.

Friend? Come on, Natalie. Just give me
the key and... Get off, Richard!

Get off!

Get off me! Get off me! For Christ's
sake!

We don't want somebody reporting us.

No, we don't need to go to jail, do we?

Haven't you better get back to work?

No, my boss is very ill. I've told you,
he's got AIDS.

Yes, I'm sorry. Have you seen him yet?

No. Very cowardly. Why not?

You've got to go at once.

You keep setting me tasks.

Why not? I'm your sister, after all.

And if I do go?

I make no promises.

You can have one kiss, just one.

I shouldn't, but one kiss can do no
harm.

Keep away from me.

Till the end of next month and you will
have proved something to me.

Say hello.

I, um... I didn't know what to bring,
so... I brought a couple of books.

Great. Thanks.

There's a... There's a third one in
here, but... It's got a little bit

up.

Spyro burst in my pocket.

I was wondering whether or not to give
it to you, but it's the most fun out of

the three. No, give it to me.

Fine.

Sorry, it looks awful.

No problem.

You can go when you like, don't feel...
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look... It's

like someone made you come.

The parents haven't been to see me.

Really? I'm sorry, that's... Just like
them.

True to form.

Probably should have bought some fruit.
I know. I'm sorry. Stop apologizing all

the time. It's nauseating.

Stop wiping the book like that. You're
driving me crazy.

I'll read it with the stains.

Okay?

Right?

Right.

Listen, are you allowed out of bed out
of here for an afternoon?

Yes, if I want to. It can be negotiated.

I've got a meeting with Lappenshaw
Mercantile. You want to come?

I could brief you on the way.

I think those are all the important
ones.

Look at it.

It's like fighting with a pea shooter,
what we're trying to do.

Might get one extra zebra crossing.

Better than nothing.

You know, I can remember when they first
announced what was going to happen

here. It was going to be this great new
city.

The new Venice.

Modern but magical, one of the wonders
of Europe.

Yeah, I can remember that too.

And look what happened.

You're becoming an architectural
reactionary, Richard.

No. No, a modernist, definitely.

Always thought I was.

Oh, yeah?

This is incredible, isn't it?

You're the one that's here, or yet
you're the optimist.

That's because you're determined not to
be.

Aren't you?

Aren't you?

Maybe.

We'll have to see what we can do about
that, Richard.

No, no, no, it's okay, Peterson.

Go on.

Sorry to have kept you waiting,
gentlemen.

Colin was able to make it after all.

How good of you to come.

We are a little pressed for time. In
that case, let's not waste any more of

Richard?

Right.

It appears there have been some
interesting developments in the last few

You made a statement saying that you had
absolutely no intention of going back

on plans for providing housing on the
site. And then, just a week after that,

there's a secret meeting...

between you and two civil servants from
the Department of the Environment.

Untrue, untrue. We have a memo to prove
it, would you believe?

It's a meeting with Lappenshaw
mercantile about whether they will be

promises. Could I... Ladies and
gentlemen, please, don't be so eager.

You'll see it all in due course when we
publish in five days' time.

Now, I think you should just listen.

After all, you are getting a sneak
preview of it before it becomes public.

I think that's very generous of us.

Don't you, Richard?

Definitely.

Very considerate.

It is curried tuna, isn't it?

Have a taste. What do you think?

Cheers.

Have a taste.

Go on.

No, thank you.

No, no, no.

I've got myself served. Thank you very
much. No, no, no.

Thank you.

That was great.

Yes. The sandwich was nice anyway.

I'll get you back then.

Yes.

I suppose you better.

It's very early, I know.

I'm sorry.

We were already up.

Is Natalie around?

Natalie's gone out already.

She's not here?

No, she's not.

Come with me.

It's very convenient, you being here,
because I'm not going to work this

morning. Definitely not. What are we
going? Just a little trip. I've hired

for myself, but it's perfect.

You should be here. Oh, no. No, I don't
like boats. Don't worry.

I know absolutely nothing about boats
either, but he does.

Fernando does. He comes with the boat.

You've got to come, Richard.

You're here now.

Yeah.

Other people's children are wonderful,
aren't they?

Yes.

Do, um... You and Natalie plan?

Oh, yes, someday.

Natalie doesn't feel ready at the
moment.

As I'm sure you know.

Relax, Richard.

Jesus. Why is it so hot?

You know, dinosaurs roamed around here
more than anywhere else in England.

It was a sort of dinosaur rush hour at
certain times of the day along this

river.

Great herds of them wading along here.

So what will remain of our world,
Sinclair, in a couple of hundred years?

We've spent too much time thinking about
the end of the world. It isn't going to

happen.

Today.

I promise it.

Not before lunch.

I'm a professional forecaster, remember?

Come on.

I know a secluded spot.

Secluded spot?

Fernando will stay here. He prefers
eating on his own.

No, I'm sure Fernando would love to...
Is he going to kill me, do you

think?

Didn't have anything but the light she
used.

You didn't know I was coming.

You couldn't have.

No, of course not.

So this was all for you?

Sure, why not?

Probably full of corpses.

She's having an affair, isn't she?

If you mean Natalie.

Who else would I mean? Don't give me
dumb replies, please, Richard. It

both of us.

If you mean Natalie, then I'm sure that
she isn't. She's lying to me all the

time.

People lie to you because they can't
think of anything else.

You've spotted little signs of it.
Little signs.

She doesn't need to. She's been carrying
around a giant placard saying I'm

fucking somebody else.

So who is it?

You tell me.

I don't know.

I don't believe that.

Sinclair, I can promise you that she
hasn't talked to me about it.

You know I'll find out.

They must have known you were here,
Richard.

They've tracked you down.

What are you doing here? I had to see
you. We'd agreed.

I don't care what we'd agreed.

What's going on here?

We're leaving.

What do you mean, leaving?

I want the house to look nice.

It's the last week's we spend in it.
Where are you going?

America.

We're going to live there, in
Connecticut.

What do you mean, live?

Live, you know.

Take up residence, change of scene. For
a few years or so.

This time I have to say yes, I've had
all of the work before of course, but my

life work can't be avoided. This is
suddenly irresistible and we succumbed,

didn't we? It wasn't just the money, the
house, the timing.

Everything seemed right.

We've got to talk about this.

We have to. Of course.

You think of change, you understand?

There may be some things for you here,
Richard.

If you want them, we can't possibly take
everything.

There you are. You said the other bloody
hotel. I said here.

We can't talk here. This is ridiculous.

Can't we? People are having tea. They
can't hear. Why are we here? You're

expecting me to cause trouble, aren't
you? Yes.

We're going somewhere, aren't we? No,
no.

Now, St. Clair's meeting me here in a
little while, by the way.

What are you doing? What's this for?
Look, just keep still.

You can't go in without a tie. They'll
throw you out. Natalie, what... Keep

still.

It's the hottest summer since Queen
Victoria's funeral.

It was always like this when we were
living in Cameron Street.

Is it because of me? No.

Time for a change.

I think I want to get out of England.
The economy's going down the chute.

And working in an employment agency is
not exactly the answer to my dream.

You're running away now.

No.

And Claire's a wise man.

It's a little overwhelming and maybe I
thought I couldn't cope.

I love him and he's right.

If they knew about it.

Do you find that idea exciting, don't
you?

Not particularly.

They knew they'd be surprised.

True, isn't it? There was no agreement
between us, Richard. You know that, my

love.

Look at this, Richard. Come on.

I'm just asking you very simply.

Please don't go yet.

I've helped you constantly, Arthur.

So many times.

Please do this for me.

Well, that's one way to make a wedding
memorable.

Okay, you... My love, what's happened is
lost your inner confidence a little

bit, that's all.

You could do anything if you put your
mind to it. Remember, you know that.

I'll ask you one more time.

I should never have let this happen.

It's a terrible mistake.

I couldn't handle it, could you?

Stop it!

Richard!

Richard!

I don't believe you're this hot!

Not that serious, Richard.

This is my beautiful brother here, who's
funny, not afraid of anything.

Let it go, Richard.

Let it go.

It's simple. It's easy.

It'll be gone soon.

It won't happen.

I'm not going to let you go away.

I will stop you.

I will not sleep here. You brought me
here because you thought you could

me. Then you're wrong.

Hello,

you two.

I didn't think Richard was going to be
here as well.

English tea. I'm really going to miss
these.

Cucumber sandwiches are going to be the
last ones we see for quite a while.

Oh, I've just got to phone work, check
on a couple of things.

We're having a great time.

Being lazy, saying goodbye to London,
going to shows.

Tourist attractions we've never seen.

Keeps Natalie occupied.

These notice boards are often
surprisingly interesting.

Let's see what's going on elsewhere in
the hotel.

Give it to me tomorrow.

I'm not kidding. You cannot go. Get out
of here, Richard. I told you, there's no

going back. I cannot answer for what
will happen if you try and leave.

You can't answer. Stop being so
melodramatic.

You're determined to make something
happen. Natalie, this is me.

Look, you know that I've never been
desperate about anything.

I never expected this to happen either,
but it has.

Look, just come with me.

Natalie, just... Stop it.

Richard. Always me. Just a toy. Come to
my flat. Get rid of Sinter. Is the lady

all right?

Yes. Yes.

I don't know what happened. Where did
you go? She just wanted some change.

All right, I'm warning you.

Natalie!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh,

boy.

She took vitamin pills as well.

More vitamin pills than sleeping pills,
it looks like.

It's not the best way to kill yourself.

I came back for the tie, actually.

Partly for that.

It's rather a good one. You've messed it
up.

You wanted to frighten me, did you?

You half managed it.

You're precious to me, Richard.

I don't want you to hurt yourself, but
I'm not going to let you destroy us

Come on, pull yourself together.

I don't love you when you look like this
all messy. Please, Natalie, whatever

you do, don't tell me to pull myself
together.

Okay.

Okay. Now, if you behave yourself and
you're

brave enough, you can come to our going
-away party.

Sinclair's had some gardens.

Do you want to do that?

I'll see, Natalie.

I think you'll manage it somehow.

Stop staring at them. They'll be going
soon.

Okay.

You don't sound too sure.

No, I am. We should.

You'll do well running this place.

High praise.

Thank you.

Come with me tomorrow.

Please.

If there's anything that you've been
longing to say to us for years but felt

never could, now is the time. Don't hold
back anything.

Insulting, shocking, spiteful, gross.

This is turning itself into a speech,
definitely forcing itself into a speech,

so the only way to stop myself.

They're like presiding royalty saying
goodbye and good riddance to all those.

Why do you mind saying that?

This is a tartar.

And what's more, you should see his
table manners. They're ex -certificate.

Like when children are feeding for days.

He loves being teased.

I want to kill you.

Fucking,

so fucking easy for you.

I hate you.

Use me.

Use you!

To get a little excitement into your
marriage. Make it take fire again. Make

feel strong. Help you find yourself.

A little bored, were we? In your
wonderful house. Just play with this,

Now we're all refreshed again. Please,
Richard!

And now we think we no longer need him.
Let's just throw him away.

What about me?

What has happened to me?

I hate you!

I won't allow you to... Stop it,
Richard.

I'm warning you.

What if you were pregnant?

But I'm not.

I'm not. The child would have enormous
hate, probably.

Stop it, Richard.

I didn't mean to use you.

Maybe I did use you.

Now we're even.

Are we?

I loved you.

I knew you'd want this to end with one
of us dying. Trust you to get both of us

nearly killed.

But I'll tell you a secret.

A secret?

Is it over? It's not going to erupt
again?

Not for the moment.

We're not going the way Sinclair's deal
fell through.

But we still wanted to have the party.

It serves me right, doesn't it?

tells me it's the end of the party.

Do you feel okay?

Yes.

It looks as if you've been moved to
fire, you two.

Yeah. You know, don't you?

I know a few things.

I know that there was something
extraordinary between you two.

I don't want to know anymore.

There is a limit beyond which I can't
go.

I don't know.

It's enough that the worst is over.

You think so?

Yes.

Being so calm, Sinclair.

It's amazing.

I'm amazed myself that somebody had to
be calm around here.

and he was wise, didn't I?

So, Sinclair, you know everything.

What's going to happen then?

To us or the human race?

Both.

I certainly wouldn't call this summer
typical.

All right.

Could be a good idea. We're not going
away after all.

Might have begun to miss the...
