Original subtitles

And I've got to make a choice. I am.

When? Soon.

Honest. Chris, I've got something to tell you.

Cool, me too. I got you a present.

He fell on the floor, Del.

There was blood in his ear. I didn't know what to do.

I love you too.

It's a secret.

Don't tell Jal.

He said you knew about this because of the hereditary aspect.

The brother.

The brother died of the same thing.

Don't let me down

I

know I was alright on Friday when I got up.

If anything, I was feeling more stolid than usual.

When I went out to the kitchen to get breakfast, Amos was there, moping.

She said she had been to a bad party the night before.

After the first minute, I was surprised to find my feet moving, wondering how

they had begun.

But they didn't stop.

The rest of them were so starstruck they didn't do anything at all for a moment.

Huh? No, you don't even like grapes.

For Christ's sake, you don't have to neck them all, you tit!

Pass me a grape, I want.

Hey, mate. Got some spiff?

I think I ought to tell you something, she said softly.

His dark eyes opened and looked up at her vacantly.

That's your problem, then, he said.

At last I know what I really want to be.

She pulled her face away and gazed down at me.

His eyes were closed. He was gazing serenely at me.

I took a quick drink of water.

I couldn't imagine anything when I felt that being a person was getting too

complicated. She wasn't smiling.

Why are you so interested in me, Miss? Oh, they're immortal.

She said quietly.

It's only a cake.

Hey.

Hey.

Where's Jo?

She was here, Chris.

Yeah, when?

You were sleeping.

Yeah.

Hey, what happened to my grapes?

Anwar ate them.

Yeah, well, he's a bloody grapist.

Well, it feels funny, this.

Funny?

Yeah, Cass, I think you'd feel quite funny if they'd stuck a tube up from

your balls to your brain.

Jal knows how to change the, um...

Thing. She went to her call back at music college.

Right.

I didn't watch that when they were doing it.

Maybe you should have stayed in hospital, Chris.

I don't have bollocks.

I had to get home, didn't I?

Chris, are you allowed, Spliff?

Allowed? What are you talking about? You were dead.

Yep, properly dead. Three minutes.

If you can survive that, a couple of doobies can't hurt, can they?

You want me to take a look?

Cassie, I've got a hole right by my balls.

Well, an extra hole.

I've seen your balls so many times, I've lost count.

When? Like the time you were using them to do that impression of Mick Hucknall

from Simply Red.

You've got to admit, that resemblance is uncanny.

Come on.

Let me look.

We'll fix you up in no time.

Boxers, Chris.

Looks fine.

Of course.

Better.

What about the wound?

Tell me about Jal at the hospital again.

She sat beside you the whole time.

The whole time.

Never left me. She never left you.

What, not even to go for a wazz?

No, Chris.

She had to go for a wazz.

Yeah.

Yeah, she loves me.

Yep.

Love conquers all, do you know that?

I bet it even conquers a genetically acquired subarachnoid haemorrhage.

That would be good.

I should have told her.

When my brother died, they said that the forewarned was forearmed and if I got

into trouble, they could fix it.

So... Why didn't you ever tell anyone?

I told you, didn't I?

Jowl, Chris.

I took blood pressure pills. I said that'd stop it. You took a lot of other

pills, too.

I like pills, OK?

Never thought it'd actually happen.

There's lots of things you never think will happen.

Whoa!

Like that, Chris.

Hello,

old friend.

It's all right. I'm glad it works.

Hey.

Goodbye, old friend.

Do we tell Jael about the donger, or is that a secret?

You shouldn't have secrets, Chris.

Neither of you should.

Right, because we love each other.

Because you love each other.

Sleeping? Yeah.

You're not ill and hiding it from me, are you, Sid?

No.

I'm stupid and hiding it from you.

Do you mind?

No.

Also, I've got a nasty ball on my bum and I was hoping you wouldn't notice.

Too late.

It's not nice.

No.

Going to my exam.

Is Jar here?

No.

Who's looking after Chris?

You are.

Right.

What do I do?

Oh, just change his dressing.

He's still a bit confused, so he'll probably think that I already changed it

today, but just ignore that.

Right. Where is this dressing?

Oh, he'll show you.

Don't let him do it himself, no matter what he says.

It's much better if somebody else handles it.

All right.

OK.

What do you have to say to me?

Um, I'm sorry I'm such a tit?

No. Life never made any sense to me until I met you. No.

I never really loved Michelle and it was all a terrible mistake.

And I must have misheard her when she said that I was the best lay ever.

And she really, really wasn't that great in bed.

No.

Good luck in your exam.

What do you have to say to me?

I'll love you forever, Sid.

You will?

Yes.

That's the problem.

You may turn over your papers.

Thought we were going to blow up the

field of rain.

Join all the other living souls,

but you're never killed.

Chris.

You alright,

Sid? Yeah.

Yeah, I thought you were... Yeah.

I've got to change your dressing.

Oh, no, no, it's fine. Cassie did it earlier.

Of course she has.

Sid.

Yeah, just let me handle it. No, fucking wait. I'll smack you. I'm just trying to

help you. I've told him.

He's not listening. He's not listening to me. Here we go. You're going to love

this.

Cassie.

Yes? You're 43 minutes into a two-hour philosophy A-level paper and I'm pretty

sure you haven't written anything yet.

Cassie, everybody else has finished exams and started their holidays.

Here I am running a rescheduled exam especially for you.

So, are you going to write anything?

I'm not sure.

What about?

How long I can put off starting to write and still get an A.

Is it possible to truly enjoy power?

Sorry?

It's question three.

I'm not supposed to help you with your exam.

I stopped eating, and then everyone had to do what I said.

That was powerful.

And did you enjoy that?

I think it was the happiest time of my life.

But I had to stop before I died, because...

Otherwise it wasn't fun.

You wouldn't understand.

You're wrong, Cassie.

Did you cut yourself too?

People will do anything to... People will do anything to work out why they

feel bad, won't they?

And did you?

Work it out.

Like I said, I'm not supposed to help you with your exam.

I want you to tell me.

What?

How to stop bad things happening.

Doesn't work, does it?

That's why you have to start eating again.

I fell in love.

Ah, love.

Why cut yourself when you can be in love?

You think passing an exam will make me happy?

Cassie, passing exams generally only makes life more complicated.

But there's lots of other stuff that makes things bearable.

And you don't even have to use a knife.

Like?

Disco.

Yes, hi Martin, are you on security?

Come on, Doug.

One last thing Cassie's gonna write.

Hey, Cass.

How'd it go?

Fine. What are you doing?

Well, I got hungry.

Like, real hungry.

And so Sid went to get stuff.

Hey, you finished.

Congrats.

What happened?

That was me.

Reflex action.

Oh.

Yeah, seems they didn't need his balls arranging after all.

Funny.

Thanks.

You're cooking?

Yep, we're celebrating.

I'm in love, exams are over and he's alive.

I'm alive!

So I thought, fuck it, let's make a night of it.

How?

Hi, Cassie.

Cassie, listen, come on. Get it, Sid.

I'm going.

This is fucking ridiculous.

Hi.

Is she here yet?

I've got to tell you, mate, top notch.

It's mega.

Fucking A, Sid.

Fucking A+. A double plus.

It's the vanilla, isn't it?

Maybe not that great with meatballs.

It's fine, Sid.

Never had cherries and nuts in smash before.

Bit of bite. Oh, great, yeah.

Love it.

So, all pals together at a dinner party.

Cass. Just like grown-ups.

Let it go, Cass.

Just trying to get on.

You know, normally, I'd say, let's stick a bit of hash in the meatballs. But

these... They've got a kick-hole by themselves.

Amaretto is on special offer.

So, Michelle, what's the plan?

You're going to get back together with Tony now?

All lovey, just like before?

We're trying not to make a thing of it, OK?

Old pals again.

Smashing!

Anyway, you and Sid, you know.

It all came out right, yeah?

I'm properly forgetting that I ever saw Michelle's breasts. Yeah.

Or her pants.

Yes, Sid. Or the funny freckle on the inside of her. Gone too far again,

haven't I?

Yes.

Mostly, we're just happy that Chris is all right. OK, Cass?

Yes.

I'm all right.

Hey, everyone's seen Michelle's breasts.

And that funny freckle on the front. That's not the one I meant.

Would it be helpful if I say I love you again?

He loves you, Cass.

Which university are you going to if you get your grades?

Cardiff. And you?

York. Wow.

You two must really love each other.

Like, hardcore.

I don't know, Cass.

I guess we're going to... So tell me what the point is.

I didn't apply to university. Yeah?

Well, I did.

You're all full of crap.

I'm going to bed.

Do you want me to come? Yes, Sid, I want you to come.

I think I'm going to go.

I'm sorry about what happened, Cassie.

I fucked up.

Tony fucked up, Sid fucked up, Giles fucked up worse than any of us, but it

doesn't all have to turn to shit.

And you just put up with that?

Grow up, Cass.

That's it.

I'm never putting vanilla in anything ever again.

Do you want me to go with you?

Come on, let's just go.

Right. Guys?

How's Jal fucked up?

Hi!

Sorry, the train was late and... What have you done?

I don't know why I am the way I am.

It's alright.

No, it's not alright.

Something makes me hate everything.

Everything. That's what I like about you, Sid.

You never try to explain things.

No.

Probably would if I could.

We're finished.

Do you realise that?

Finished. Two weeks from today, we get our results and it's all over.

We're grown up.

We've made it.

Done.

Well, that's good, isn't it?

Everything ends badly.

It doesn't have to.

No?

I've got you.

Don't you wish you could go back to when you hadn't lost anything?

Everything's in the future.

More shit to happen that's all.

I love you.

I'm here now.

That's the best I've got Cass.

I never go.

I want to stay here.

I don't want to go.

I might have to go.

I might have to go. Don't.

She told you?

Yeah.

She tried to tell you before.

I know.

It's gonna be okay though.

Talked it through.

Talked a lot.

Probably qualified to be a dad.

Don't know what they do.

And, um... She's gonna be famous, Cass. I mean, she's gonna be great.

Fucking mega.

And, um... I'm not exactly A+. You're A+, Chris.

She just doesn't want a baby.

No, no, I'm on her side.

She's all I got, so...

I'm on her side.

Where's Sid?

He went to do his milk round.

I think he likes having all that milk.

Cool.

Lots of milk.

A truckload.

All he can drink.

He's a lucky man.

Non-stop plugging.

He'll be chucking it down.

He's milktastic.

Milkulous. He's a milk in air.

Tea tea

Do

you

live up there Yes,

do you know Christopher yes, I live with him girlfriend

No. No, I just live with... Who are you?

I just... heard something about him.

He was in hospital.

But he's better now.

He's not better.

No, really.

He's fine.

You're her?

You're Chris's mum?

You should see him.

Please, come in and see him. His brother died.

Peter died.

And they say Chris might... He's better. He's fine. Tell him.

I couldn't stand it.

No, don't go.

Read to you on Saturday Museum has closed

Hey, up.

When's Jal getting back?

Tomorrow.

She wants me to think about things.

You could make her change her mind if you wanted to.

Listen, Cass, when a woman of that calibre is prepared to get her tits out

for you, you don't mess it up on purpose.

Ah, romantic.

Ta.

I fucking love her. That's it.

Anyway, you went to make tea six hours ago.

Oh, yes.

I got the milk.

I was talking to...

To someone outside.

Yeah, well, that's all very interesting, but it's not going to make my tea, is

it?

And girls who won't make my tea do not ever get to see my cock again, and that

is what you call social deprivation.

You cheeky, sexist fucker. I am. I'm a sexy fucker. Yeah?

Well, I'm going to wash your big fucking mouth out, bad boy.

Ah! Ah!

Ah!

Jesus Christ!

Oh, my God. Watch it.

Christ. Fuck, Chris, I forgot.

Jesus.

Is it okay?

Oh, yes.

Shit, you bastard!

And I'm still awaiting my tea, wenchy.

Wenchy?

Yeah. Wenchy floozy moo.

But Adam Sandler, he's quite sweet if you keep the sound down.

Yeah, he's cool.

Look, he's going to piss on himself again.

Oh, I forgot.

I got something for you.

Yeah?

Stole it on Park Street.

Smart.

You're going to tell me who you were talking to outside?

Cass?

Oh, cool.

Oh, mum.

Fuck it, eh, man?

Chris. I've been thinking about secrets.

Yeah?

Sometimes you have to keep them.

In case someone got hurt. Oh, I can't wait to show this to him.

Show it to him.

Yes.

Show it to him.

My girlfriend, what's her name?

Don't be stupid.

Spiff.

Chris, are you okay?

Don't mess up, I want you here.

You're in my room, I want you here.

And now I wanna be your dog.

And now I wanna be your dog.

And now I wanna be your dog.

Okay, where you headed? Where you headed?

I don't know.

Somewhere nice.

Yo, Earl. Yeah?

The lady wants to go someplace nice, man.

Tell her to get the fuck out of this neighborhood.

Thank you, Frank.

Where are you going now?

I haven't decided.

Well, decide to eat.

Gotta eat.

Here.

Look up there on the right.

Martha serves chili on Tuesdays.

Blow your balls off.

Hey, what the fuck are you looking at, man?

You should eat that.

It's good.

I think I'm hungry, but that I'm not.

Tell you what, skip it.

This is so... It's nice of you.

Sure it is.

I take all this leftover food after my shift.

Nobody wants it.

Guess they know I'm from Iowa.

Where's that?

Over there.

About a thousand miles.

Oh.

Boy, you're raw, aren't you?

Tired. Mainly just tired.

All the beds through there.

Hey, be my guest.

I'm wired after work.

New York I love you, but you're bringing me down.

New York I love you, but you're bringing me down.

Like a rat in a cage.

Pulling minimum wage.

New York, I love you, but you're bringing me down.

You found the shower.

I just got back.

Hi.

I hope you don't mind, but you've been sleeping for two days and I usually try

to get some stuff done after work. Two days?

Where did you... Oh, couch.

Anyway, I'll... No, it's okay.

Please.

Well, I just gotta fix these pictures up a little and then...

Did you tell me your name?

Yeah, a couple of times. It's Adam.

And you're Cassie.

Hi.

Again. Hi.

The pictures.

Does anyone see them?

No way.

I'm just your New York cliché.

Waiting, waiting.

Who's that in the photos?

She takes a good picture.

Is she your girlfriend?

For a while.

But she's... She's gone now.

Adam?

Yeah?

I don't really want to fuck you, if that's okay. Whoa.

I didn't say... I thought you... No!

No, you needed somewhere to sleep, right?

Yes. So it's cool.

You can stay here as long as you want until whatever's going down is over.

It won't ever be over.

Yes, it will.

Would you like to dance?

It's 2 in the morning.

You guys don't go out in England?

I think I'll give it a try. She said, I can't make it.

Boy, you can run.

I'm fucked up.

Yeah.

I ran away.

No.

I thought Americans didn't do irony.

It's Manhattan.

It's different.

Don't you want to know what I did?

That'll change anything.

No.

So... Let's go.

Do they have boats on this river?

No. There!

You did it again!

Don't worry.

He's okay.

I won't touch.

Dear Cassie, I went away for a while.

Get some snaps.

Stay here for as long as you want.

It was nice knowing you.

Adam.

I've been walking in the same way as I did

Missing all the cracks in the pavement And tight in my heels,

but in my feet Is there anything I can do for you, dear?

Is there anyone I could call?

No one, thank you, please, madame, I...

Ain't lost, just wondering.

Round my hometown,

memories, a phrase.

Round my hometown,

ooh, the people I've made.

How the wonders of my world, how the wonders of my...

I need answers, Cassie.

I need answers right now.

Tony! Tony!

I'm not ready for this. For what?

This. I am the resurrection and the life.

I don't want you at the funeral.

Any of you. What are you doing here?

I always loved you the best, Sid.
