GENERAL CHATTER

0:03:140:03:16

-Congratulations.

-Your shoes are really superb.

0:03:180:03:20

-Thank you so much.

-My pleasure.

0:03:200:03:23

-I'm off, Dad.

-Excuse me, thank you.

0:03:230:03:25

-Is it George?

-It always is.

0:03:250:03:28

Oh, my! How are you? How lovely to see you.

0:03:370:03:40

-Are you happy with your mother?

-Of course I am.

0:03:400:03:43

Thanks.

0:03:430:03:45

Tell George I'm sorry he couldn't make it.

0:03:450:03:48

I will, I will.

0:03:480:03:50

-How was it?

-Shoes were lovely, of course.

0:04:020:04:05

Dresses like a handkerchiefs, girls like stick insects.

0:04:050:04:09

Not catching, is it?

0:04:090:04:10

-SHE LAUGHS

-Come on.

0:04:100:04:12

I should get you a jacket like that.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

0:04:160:04:19

Hi, Vera.

0:04:250:04:26

Eleanor, how are you?

0:04:280:04:29

-You know Ralph?

-Yes, I know Ralph.

0:04:290:04:32

-Can I have a shot of you...

-I'll grab the table.

0:04:330:04:36

-There she is.

-Hi.

0:04:490:04:53

-I'm starving.

-Yeah.

0:04:530:04:54

-It was all right, wasn't it?

-It was great.

0:04:540:04:56

Shut up.

0:04:560:04:58

All right, I will.

0:04:580:05:00

Abigail fled.

0:05:010:05:03

-Honestly, the two of you.

-What?

0:05:030:05:05

I've got a daughter who flees, a husband who jeers...

0:05:050:05:08

Lisa, come on, I don't jeer.

0:05:080:05:10

I like your shoes, it's the people in them I can't stand.

0:05:100:05:13

Oh, well.

0:05:150:05:17

Fish cakes. You won't get them in Milan.

0:05:170:05:20

It is Milan, right?

0:05:200:05:22

Gianni and Gianni.

0:05:220:05:24

Which is the one still lives with his mum?

0:05:240:05:27

Gianni, of course.

0:05:270:05:30

Actually, they both do.

0:05:300:05:33

Very old lady in black who hovers.

0:05:330:05:35

They make wonderful shoes.

0:05:380:05:39

Hey. You make wonderful shoes.

0:05:420:05:44

Do you think two people can live together all their lives?

0:05:460:05:50

We've managed more than half our lives.

0:05:500:05:53

Do we have a problem?

0:05:530:05:55

Of course we don't have a problem.

0:05:550:05:57

Is that the problem? Eh?

0:05:570:06:00

Why do you ask?

0:06:000:06:02

Thinking.

0:06:020:06:04

-Abigail, George.

-HE SIGHS

0:06:070:06:10

-Will she get married?

-Abigail.

0:06:100:06:13

-What?

-Well, you know.

0:06:130:06:16

Are you jealous?

0:06:170:06:19

Of George?

0:06:190:06:20

I think I like George.

0:06:200:06:22

Well, you have strange taste in men.

0:06:220:06:24

-We're not quite ready yet, thank you.

-I'll come back.

0:06:260:06:29

Do you never wish you might be given the chance to sleep with someone else?

0:06:290:06:33

-Lisa, are you telling me something?

-I'm asking.

0:06:360:06:41

Well..?

0:06:450:06:46

-Peter?

-No. I mean, no.

0:06:470:06:51

I don't want to sleep with someone else.

0:06:510:06:53

Maybe I haven't found the right person yet.

0:06:560:06:59

-No, never, I promise.

-It's a choice.

0:07:000:07:04

Not a promise.

0:07:040:07:06

You meet someone, you fall in love, you have the opportunity.

0:07:060:07:10

You make a choice.

0:07:110:07:12

I chose you.

0:07:120:07:14

I do love you, you know.

0:07:170:07:20

You do know that, don't you?

0:07:210:07:23

If I didn't, I'd go.

0:07:250:07:28

-Go?

-Yes, just go. Taking nothing.

0:07:280:07:32

Bare, start again.

0:07:320:07:34

That's all right, then.

0:07:340:07:36

'I need to tell you something.'

0:07:440:07:46

Don't move, don't move.

0:07:510:07:54

I don't want to worry you.

0:07:580:08:01

HE CHUCKLES Why would you?

0:08:010:08:03

What is it, Lisa?

0:08:100:08:12

Nothing. Nothing, I'm fine.

0:08:130:08:17

-Are you sure?

-Sure. I'm fine.

0:08:170:08:20

-Milan?

-The Giannis, I told you.

0:08:200:08:23

Honestly, I'll ring.

DOOR OPENS

0:09:340:09:37

-Dad?

-Upstairs.

0:09:370:09:39

-Here, have them.

-Why?

0:09:460:09:48

I don't want them.

0:09:480:09:50

-I don't want her stuff.

-You take them.

0:09:500:09:52

I know we're the same size, it's just... It would be weird.

0:09:520:09:57

I don't know.

0:09:570:09:59

I wouldn't be happy having her stuff.

0:10:000:10:03

PHONE RINGS

0:10:030:10:06

Mum's phone.

0:10:160:10:18

Not Mum?

0:10:190:10:20

Funny.

0:10:200:10:22

You've always been like this, even when I was little.

0:10:220:10:27

I remember I wrote you a story, it was about a bear.

0:10:270:10:31

I gave it to you and you took it

0:10:310:10:33

and then went back to what you were working on.

0:10:330:10:36

I'm talking and you're not even pretending to listen.

0:10:370:10:40

I'm only talking so I don't have to listen to your silence.

0:10:400:10:43

Not because I think you'll take any notice of what I have to say.

0:10:430:10:46

Mum asked me to put this here for you.

0:10:560:10:59

What was that about?

0:11:030:11:05

Earth to Dad?

0:11:170:11:18

Dad?

0:11:240:11:25

Is that where she's gone, into orbit?

0:15:330:15:36

You know Ralph?

0:16:380:16:40

Hello, Mr Ryman.

0:17:020:17:04

-Peter. How are you, dear? You know Eleanor.

-Hello, Peter.

0:17:090:17:13

-Did you know?

-What?

0:17:130:17:14

-Did you know about them?

-Peter?

0:17:140:17:18

-Ralph. How long has it been going on?

-Peter, are you all right?

0:17:180:17:22

I should smash your fucking computer over your fucking head.

0:17:220:17:25

-Peter!

-What?

0:17:250:17:26

-Lisa! Have you always been fond of her?

-Of course.

0:17:260:17:29

-And was she fond of you?

-I think so.

0:17:290:17:32

But not like that.

0:17:340:17:37

You can't believe we've been having an affair.

0:17:370:17:40

Peter...that's not on.

0:17:400:17:43

And if she...

0:17:430:17:45

-Who could blame her, eh?

-Ralph!

0:17:450:17:48

I never could, for the life of me, understand what she saw in you.

0:17:480:17:51

I don't see why I should be insulted, I don't see why.

0:17:510:17:54

Peter...

0:17:580:17:59

There is somebody...

0:18:020:18:03

She did have a friend.

0:18:030:18:05

We know nothing more, really, Peter.

0:18:060:18:09

Who is he?!

0:18:090:18:10

Why does there have to be anyone else?

0:18:160:18:18

Because people always love her?

0:18:180:18:20

-Abi...

-No.

0:18:200:18:21

You should be ashamed, asking things like that about Mum.

0:18:210:18:25

-Ashamed!

-DOOR OPENS

0:18:250:18:28

Everything all right?

0:18:310:18:33

I'll see you in a minute.

0:18:400:18:42

OK.

0:18:430:18:44

It was just the two of us in Italy, Dad.

0:18:540:18:58

And we didn't go to Lake Como, we went to Venice.

0:18:580:19:01

Here.

0:19:100:19:11

When I've washed my face you can use the bathroom.

0:19:110:19:14

We get up at 6.30 cos George goes to work early and so do I.

0:19:140:19:19

I'll wake you for breakfast.

0:19:190:19:20

-Abi...

-Night.

0:19:200:19:22

Dad?

0:19:340:19:35

-Morning, Mr Ryman.

0:20:360:20:39

It's Guy.

0:20:390:20:40

Ralph.

0:20:410:20:43

Me?

0:20:430:20:44

No, I wasn't thinking of you, Guy.

0:20:460:20:48

Well, it's good to see you back.

0:20:480:20:50

I don't need to bury myself, you know, or anything.

0:20:500:20:53

Who said you did?

0:20:530:20:55

If you'd rather be at home, Peter...

0:20:570:21:00

You're the boss, we can manage.

0:21:000:21:01

Do you have trouble with badgers on your lawn, Guy? I can't stand them.

0:21:050:21:10

I'm going to kill the bastards. Could you get me Joy, please?

0:21:100:21:12

We have two Joys. Security Joy and systems Joy.

0:21:120:21:15

Security.

0:21:150:21:16

-Peter.

-I don't want to be rude, Guy, but...

0:21:160:21:19

-If you need me.

-Thank you.

0:21:190:21:21

Sit down for a minute.

0:21:310:21:33

I'm sorry about the ID contract.

0:21:350:21:37

I was always anxious about it being rolled out...

0:21:370:21:40

I have an e-mail address and I want an identity, Joy.

0:21:400:21:44

-I'm sorry?

-I want to know who he is, where he lives.

0:21:440:21:47

It's not legal, you know, Peter.

0:21:470:21:50

-Then don't do it.

-I won't.

0:21:520:21:55

I've never done it.

0:22:050:22:06

No, but you know what we do.

0:22:090:22:11

Hope to catch a data package on one of its hops.

0:22:110:22:14

Get the IP fingerprints.

0:22:140:22:15

Try an SMTP connector to the server and request it takes a mail

0:22:150:22:19

for your guy's email address using VRFY and EXPN options.

0:22:190:22:23

Might get lucky.

0:22:230:22:25

It relies on the server being poorly configured,

0:22:250:22:27

but doesn't everything?

0:22:270:22:28

So, what do we know?

0:22:310:22:33

Calls himself Ralph.

0:22:330:22:35

Yes.

0:22:370:22:39

I want to meet him.

0:22:390:22:41

I want to kill him.

0:23:010:23:03

Well, that's fine.

0:23:050:23:07

He mustn't know you're looking for him.

0:23:070:23:10

I want it to be a big surprise.

That is the Queen's Indian defence, right?

-Yes, it is.

-Love it.

She liked things to be punctiliously correct, my mother.

0:38:040:38:06

A girlfriend I met here lived in Cambridge,

0:38:060:38:08

when I dabbled in the fashion business.

0:38:080:38:13

She was in shoes.

0:38:130:38:15

-Shoes.

-CHUCKLES

0:38:150:38:17

When I say shoes, it is as if I say Baryshnikov is a hoofer.

0:38:170:38:23

Yes...

0:38:250:38:26

It was here...in Milan.

0:38:280:38:32

I saw these...red high heels.

0:38:340:38:39

And I saw this woman.

0:38:400:38:44

She was walking towards me and for a while...

0:38:450:38:48

This seems incredible, but all I saw was the shoes.

0:38:480:38:52

-SHE GIGGLES

-I make shoes. You?

0:38:550:39:00

I'm interested in poetry.

0:39:000:39:02

And therefore...feet.

0:39:020:39:05

THEY LAUGH

0:39:050:39:06

Was this a long time ago?

0:39:060:39:08

Oh, yes, 10...no, 12. 12 years.

0:39:080:39:13

And, er...

0:39:200:39:22

..when was the last time you saw her?

0:39:240:39:26

Actually, er...nine months.

0:39:260:39:30

But I have good reason for hoping to see her again soon.

0:39:350:39:38

Check.

0:39:400:39:42

Dad!

0:39:440:39:45

Peter?

0:40:040:40:05

Peter?

0:40:170:40:19

Hello?

0:40:240:40:25

'You have one new message.'

0:40:440:40:48

-RALPH:

-'Lisa, please, let me hear your voice again.

0:40:480:40:53

'I know I swore I wouldn't ring you

0:40:530:40:55

'but...your emails make me desperate to hear your voice.

0:40:550:40:59

'Call me, please. Bye.'

0:40:590:41:01

What do you do in Milan with those Giannis?

0:41:260:41:29

-You made me jump.

-Eh?

0:41:290:41:32

Trade fair. It's hell.

0:41:320:41:36

Expect me to feel sorry for you?

0:41:360:41:38

Mm-hmm.

0:41:380:41:40

HE SINGS QUIETLY

0:42:010:42:06

Do you desperately want to do that?

0:42:220:42:25

-Was she often in Milan, your friend?

-Oh, yes.

0:42:420:42:45

'I will make things easy for you,

0:42:450:42:48

but don't doubt my love because of that.'

0:42:480:42:50

She would try to elude me.

0:42:500:42:51

-I'd like to... I'd like it to be that things were different.

-I know.

0:42:510:42:54

I was very persistent.

0:42:540:42:56

Yes, you know. If we could be together, live for one another,

0:42:560:43:00

let nothing else matter. But our world isn't like that.

0:43:000:43:04

No, I know.

0:43:040:43:05

-No, don't. You keep saying, "I know."

-I know.

0:43:050:43:07

-"I know. I know."

-I know.

0:43:070:43:09

I know, I know... # I know, I know

0:43:090:43:13

-# I know, I know, I know... #

-I know!

0:43:130:43:17

# I know, I know... # I know.

0:43:170:43:20

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:43:200:43:22

Grazie.

0:43:240:43:26

BOTH GIGGLE

0:43:260:43:28

SHE SQUEALS

0:43:280:43:30

DOOR SLAMS

0:43:450:43:47

You gave me a shock.

0:43:500:43:52

I heard you coming.

0:43:520:43:54

How was Milan?

0:43:550:43:57

Lovely. Fun.

0:43:570:43:59

-Everything all right?

-Of course.

0:43:590:44:02

I'm so happy to see you.

0:44:020:44:04

BOTH LAUGH

0:44:080:44:10

'You meet someone, you fall in love, you have the opportunity.'

0:44:120:44:17

You make a choice.

0:44:170:44:19

Lisa?

0:44:230:44:25

Ever, er, met a woman you'd like to live with?

0:44:310:44:35

Plenty of women desperate to live with me.

0:44:350:44:38

But I don't live with anyone.

0:44:380:44:39

See them, yeah, often for lengthy periods,

0:44:390:44:42

but not live.

0:44:420:44:43

-Are you married?

-We have a daughter.

0:44:430:44:45

-I have a son.

-Hmm.

0:44:450:44:47

-Married long?

-Nearly 25 years.

0:44:470:44:50

We've both had separate careers, with all that that means.

0:44:500:44:54

We've had a good marriage, always trusted each other, never doubted.

0:44:540:44:59

Oh, well, that's fine, very good.

0:44:590:45:01

Grand. But not for me.

0:45:020:45:04

'There's always doubt, my friend.

0:45:050:45:07

'Marriage is hell, as I am sure you have found.

0:45:070:45:10

'I prefer hotels and heaven.'

0:45:100:45:13

Come and see.

0:45:150:45:17

I kept it for you.

0:45:240:45:26

'You have a bad bishop...'

0:46:060:46:09

and I have a good one.

0:46:090:46:12

"You swine, Ralph!"

0:46:120:46:14

Excuse me. Forgive me.

0:46:150:46:17

We Spanish are passionate people.

0:46:170:46:20

You do have a good one, but...check.

0:46:200:46:24

SPEAKS SPANISH

0:46:250:46:27

Unless you can swindle, cheat.

0:46:270:46:31

Not my game. I haven't got a spiteful bone in my body.

0:46:310:46:35

-PHONE RINGS

-Excuse me.

0:46:350:46:37

Lisa?

0:46:400:46:41

Lisa?

0:46:440:46:45

I know you are...

0:46:480:46:50

I know you are there, Lisa.

0:46:500:46:52

Answer me.

0:46:520:46:53

Answer me. I know you are there.

0:46:530:46:56

Lisa. Your emails.

0:47:000:47:02

'Answer me. I know you are there, Lisa.

0:47:030:47:07

'Speak to me.

0:47:070:47:08

'Let me hear your voice.

0:47:080:47:10

'Darling, come on, speak to me.'

0:47:100:47:13

Lisa?

0:47:140:47:15

Answer me.

0:47:160:47:18

Answer me, I know you are there!

0:47:180:47:22

Lisa?

0:47:230:47:24

'Darling, speak to me.

0:47:240:47:26

'Lisa!'

0:47:260:47:28

'My love, the passion I give you,

0:47:340:47:38

'can't be without you any more than you can be without me.

0:47:380:47:43

'If you leave me, I'll crash.'

0:47:430:47:46

You frighten me.

0:47:460:47:48

'I will.

0:47:490:47:51

'Don't let it come to that.'

0:47:520:47:53

What else can I do?

0:47:550:47:57

Who are you happiest with?

0:48:020:48:04

-Now?

-This moment.

0:48:070:48:09

You.

0:48:110:48:12

Soon I will be happy with another.

0:48:220:48:24

-Him.

-Of course him.

0:48:260:48:28

Excuse me. What do you think you're doing?

0:48:380:48:40

I got a call yesterday.

0:48:420:48:45

It was a call from a shoe designer.

0:48:460:48:50

I can only describe her to you

0:48:500:48:52

as the most beautiful woman in the world.

0:48:520:48:55

I do now know she is the only woman I could ever love.

0:48:580:49:03

Check.

0:49:080:49:09

She's rung you, has she?

0:49:160:49:18

She has.

0:49:190:49:21

You spoke to her?

0:49:220:49:23

She has acknowledged my call.

0:49:250:49:27

BOTH LAUGH

0:49:280:49:30

Do you ride?

0:49:360:49:38

With horses as with women, and of course you know that,

0:49:390:49:44

to have good hands is essential.

0:49:440:49:48

Check. Mate.

0:49:580:50:00

You bastard, how dare you?

0:50:020:50:04

It is only a game of fucking chess, man!

0:50:040:50:07

Oh, lord, three o'clock, I must fly.

0:50:070:50:10

SHOUTS IN ITALIAN

0:50:110:50:13

THEY SPEAK ITALIAN

0:50:130:50:16

-Dad!

-Abigail.

0:50:380:50:40

-We wondered where you were.

-Is George here?

0:50:400:50:43

-No. No, he's not.

-Come on.

0:50:430:50:45

-Where are we going?

-How to tell you?

0:50:450:50:46

I've talked to him.

0:50:460:50:48

-What?

-Her lover.

-How?

0:50:480:50:51

Not really talked to him, I didn't say anything.

0:50:510:50:54

Mum's phone. I used ring back.

0:50:540:50:55

Did you? Of course you did.

0:50:550:50:58

I talk to him every day, we play chess together.

0:50:580:51:01

What?

0:51:010:51:03

He doesn't know who I am. He's monstrous.

0:51:030:51:06

His hands in particular revolt me. Pink hands!

0:51:060:51:09

-I really don't want to know.

-It's not the same for you!

0:51:090:51:12

He doesn't have horrible hands.

0:51:170:51:20

Read his emails, here.

0:51:200:51:22

-SHE SNIGGERS

-Dad...

-Listen!

0:51:290:51:32

"I didn't touch you until you put your arms around my neck

0:51:320:51:36

"on our first night.

0:51:360:51:37

"Don't you remember?"

0:51:370:51:39

We never spent days and nights in bed together.

0:51:390:51:42

"It was cold, so cold you didn't want to come out

0:51:420:51:46

"and so I sat up and leaned across you

0:51:460:51:49

"and turned out the light on your side

0:51:490:51:52

"and then you finally took your arms from under the blanket

0:51:520:51:55

"and took me to you.

0:51:550:51:56

"I don't dare ask to see you again,

0:51:560:51:59

"but you should know I would like that very much, Ralph."

0:51:590:52:02

Calls himself Ralph.

0:52:020:52:05

Says things like, "The most beautiful woman in the world,"

0:52:050:52:07

in his well-pressed jeans, yellow socks, sacred Gucci loafers.

0:52:070:52:11

Fucking prick! Gucci loafers!

0:52:110:52:14

-Have you been replying to him?

-Mmm?

0:52:210:52:24

He thinks she is.

0:52:240:52:25

Oh, no. Dad, please... Just leave it, yeah?

0:52:250:52:30

Says things like, "Took me to you."

0:52:300:52:33

What was she thinking? Who believes that sort of crap?

0:52:330:52:36

How could she? Don't cry.

0:52:360:52:37

I'm not crying!

0:52:370:52:40

I wasn't enough for her.

0:52:400:52:41

I'm so bloody angry I could kill him.

0:52:410:52:44

I was always faithful to her.

0:52:470:52:49

I thought we were close, I thought we told each other everything.

0:52:490:52:52

She was a different person, she must have been.

0:52:520:52:54

Which is worse, the person you love is someone else with another man, or that they're the same?

0:52:540:52:59

-Please, Dad. Please, stop it.

-It's so bloody insulting.

0:52:590:53:03

I can't take it anymore!

0:53:030:53:05

Just let it go!

0:53:050:53:07

'I sat up and leaned across you and turned out the light.

0:53:080:53:13

'Then you finally took your arms from under the blanket

0:53:160:53:21

'and took me to you.'

0:53:210:53:23

BUZZER SOUNDS

0:53:280:53:30

You...

0:54:140:54:15

-You scared me.

-Yes, I'm sure.

-Yes.

0:54:150:54:17

I... I wasn't, erm...

0:54:170:54:20

You'll love this.

0:54:200:54:21

This is just...

0:54:210:54:23

What I am doing down here is just taking care of the house,

0:54:230:54:28

er, tortoise... How do you say that in English?

0:54:280:54:31

-Tort...tort...

-Tortoises?

0:54:310:54:33

Tortoises. Tortoises. Do you like tortoises?

0:54:330:54:37

Don't touch me, please. RALPH CHUCKLES

0:54:370:54:39

I don't blame you, messy business.

0:54:390:54:43

Come here. Come here.

0:54:430:54:45

You know, when the old girl started digging in the dirt...

0:54:470:54:50

watch this.

0:54:500:54:52

I thought of everything except she might be burying eggs.

0:54:520:54:57

But that's what she was doing, three eggs...

0:54:570:54:59

But she was, three.

0:55:060:55:09

So I moved it down here, and tiny little tortoises hatched from two.

0:55:110:55:16

Are you all right?

0:55:320:55:35

Tartaruga, the Italians call them.

0:55:400:55:43

Two of them hatched out.

0:55:430:55:44

But I lost one and I am sad to say she went down the pan.

0:55:440:55:50

Sentimental sod!

0:55:570:55:58

Bastard! CHILD CRIES

0:56:000:56:02

How dare he?

0:56:020:56:04

I'll pay. I'll pay. I'll pay you.

0:56:100:56:13

-I will pay you!

-What are you doing?

0:56:130:56:15

I've got time to get my flight.

0:56:150:56:17

None of this you're doing is right, Dad.

0:56:170:56:19

It's making you ill and it's making you awful.

0:56:190:56:21

You're not stable, yeah? It's over! Just let it go, move on.

0:56:210:56:26

She's gone!

0:56:260:56:27

Aeroporto.

PHONE RINGS

0:57:220:57:25

Hello?

0:57:330:57:35

'Peter, I have a little problem.'

0:57:350:57:38

Let me give you lunch tomorrow.

0:57:380:57:41

Shall we meet at my apartment?

0:57:430:57:45

Buon giorno?

0:57:580:57:59

Peter. Come on up.

0:58:070:58:09

To my apartment.

0:58:090:58:12

-Your apartment?

-Come on.

0:58:120:58:14

-Is this...?

-When I am in town, yes.

0:58:190:58:22

I've had some very exciting news.

0:58:250:58:27

Though it's rather hush-hush for the fear of publicity.

0:58:270:58:31

She wants me to go to spend the weekend with her in Lake Como.

0:58:330:58:37

Our usual hotel.

0:58:370:58:39

My friend, the celebrated shoe designer.

0:58:390:58:44

It's nice.

0:58:450:58:47

You know, I was thinking, you know me,

0:58:470:58:51

a second honeymoon in the Lake Como, sort of thing?

0:58:510:58:56

Then we both go to London.

0:58:560:58:58

To be honest, things are becoming a little hot for me here.

0:58:580:59:03

You know, the usual temporary cash-flow problems.

0:59:030:59:07

I was thinking about throwing her a surprise party.

0:59:070:59:11

You know, push the boat in, mark the beginning of our life together.

0:59:110:59:14

London?

0:59:140:59:15

-A celebration. But er...

-No, no buts, do it properly.

0:59:150:59:18

-Push the boat in, well and truly.

-Out, I mean!

0:59:180:59:22

-Do you think so?

-Let me foot the bill.

0:59:230:59:26

The least I can do to help a friend who's temporarily on his uppers.

0:59:260:59:30

Uppers.

0:59:300:59:32

How much?

0:59:320:59:34

Oh, cash, of course.

0:59:340:59:36

I hope I'm going to get invited to this London party.

0:59:380:59:40

-Yeah.

-Who do you have in mind?

0:59:400:59:42

Colleagues of hers, cosmopolitans like myself.

0:59:420:59:45

More?

0:59:450:59:48

-Fashionistas, you know.

-More.

0:59:480:59:50

Why not?

0:59:500:59:52

BELL CHIMES

1:00:401:00:43

Good evening. Reservation in the name of Carentis.

1:01:151:01:20

Your guest is already here, sir.

1:01:201:01:22

I'm sorry to disappoint you. She won't be coming, Lisa.

1:01:421:01:47

Lisa?

1:01:501:01:51

She's dead.

1:01:511:01:53

Lisa.

1:01:581:01:59

My wife.

1:02:011:02:03

Dead.

1:02:031:02:04

Me.

1:02:141:02:16

It's been me, you see.

1:02:161:02:18

Aperitif, signore?

1:02:231:02:25

-What did she die of?

-Cancer.

1:02:321:02:35

Bad?

1:02:391:02:41

Bad?

1:02:411:02:42

She got so thin I could carry her with one arm.

1:02:451:02:49

They say they know how to cope with pain nowadays.

1:02:501:02:53

They do and they did.

1:02:531:02:55

Peter. Come through.

1:02:571:02:59

'I wish she had screamed sometimes.'

1:03:101:03:13

It'll be fine.

1:03:131:03:14

'She didn't tell me she was ill until it was too late.'

1:03:161:03:19

I don't know why she did that, it was so...stupid.

1:03:191:03:23

Her doctors suggested vanity.

1:03:231:03:25

HE STUTTERS Shut up! Of course it wasn't vanity.

1:03:251:03:29

She knew I wouldn't have cared how she looked.

1:03:291:03:31

'You do know she refused surgery?'

1:03:311:03:33

I do now.

1:03:401:03:43

Is Lisa proud of her looks?

1:03:471:03:49

She...didn't talk about it.

1:03:501:03:53

I suppose she, er...

1:03:561:03:57

She didn't want to...

1:03:591:04:02

She never complained.

1:04:121:04:14

She...

1:04:171:04:19

She liked being beautiful.

1:04:351:04:37

'It isn't a crime.'

1:04:391:04:41

-What isn't?

-If she cared how she looked.

1:04:411:04:45

-It wasn't vanity.

-How dare you?

1:04:451:04:47

She would've been waiting for it to go away.

1:04:471:04:49

-Go away?

-Yes, go away!

1:04:491:04:51

It was part of who she was.

1:04:511:04:54

Everything she did was perfection.

1:04:541:04:56

Don't be bloody silly, it was the opposite.

1:04:561:04:58

She lived in perfection of the moment.

1:04:581:05:00

It was blindness! What about the future? Did that not matter?

1:05:001:05:04

You know... I've been very happy with you, Peter.

1:05:141:05:20

Where?

1:05:221:05:24

Where were you happiest?

1:05:251:05:27

-Peter, I...

-Write it down.

1:05:321:05:34

Go on, take a pencil.

1:05:391:05:40

Write it down.

1:05:441:05:45

I bet it'll be the same, right?

1:05:491:05:53

-Smug bugger.

-HE CHUCKLES

1:05:591:06:03

I have a better idea.

1:06:051:06:08

Write down somewhere we've never been that I can take you to.

1:06:081:06:11

You could take me anywhere.

1:06:151:06:17

How did you find out about me?

1:06:231:06:25

You were on a file called "Love" on my wife's computer.

1:06:291:06:35

You read my emails?

1:06:381:06:40

All of them.

1:06:411:06:42

I...pretend that everything is better than it is.

1:06:451:06:50

That there is money, when there isn't.

1:06:501:06:53

Make things more beautiful than they are.

1:06:531:06:56

I can do that, I am good at that.

1:06:561:06:59

Losers are brilliant at making things pretty.

1:07:001:07:05

I try to make the world beautiful when I can.

1:07:061:07:10

Bring it out, reach the core.

1:07:101:07:13

The heart of things, sort of thing.

1:07:131:07:15

You...you only see the surface.

1:07:161:07:21

George isn't the man for him, but he is for me.

1:07:211:07:25

I know that.

1:07:271:07:29

It doesn't have to be either or, does it?

1:07:291:07:32

You can love two people at once, I think so anyway.

1:07:321:07:37

That's right.

1:07:371:07:38

Sweetheart, you know I've always loved your father.

1:07:401:07:42

Mum, I know.

1:07:421:07:45

It's simple, really.

1:07:461:07:49

It's not just me any more, it's me and George.

1:07:491:07:52

Dad thinks that's messy and he does so love everything in its place.

1:07:521:07:57

And he'll probably change all this, but he can't change me

1:07:571:08:00

and sometimes I want to say to him, "Get a fucking life."

1:08:001:08:04

Mum...

1:08:071:08:09

-Get your father.

-No, I can do it. I can do it.

-Get your father.

1:08:111:08:14

So, well, that's it. It's over.

1:08:201:08:23

You can still have your party for her.

1:08:231:08:25

I shan't be there, of course.

1:08:251:08:27

Of course. You've had your revenge already.

1:08:271:08:31

I am a bullshitter, who is a janitor.

1:08:331:08:36

Who would take any job, any.

1:08:361:08:39

Brags about the past as if it was a catalogue of glory.

1:08:391:08:42

Not unpaid bills and bankruptcy and prison.

1:08:421:08:46

Oh, I'm sure.

1:08:461:08:47

I should have noticed.

1:08:471:08:50

Those emails sounded as prickish as you are.

1:08:501:08:54

I saw them as beautiful, of course.

1:08:571:08:59

PAPER RIPPING

1:09:171:09:20

Do something for me.

1:09:301:09:32

Put this in one of the red shoes in my room.

1:09:321:09:37

It's for Dad.

1:09:371:09:39

How will he find it?

1:09:391:09:42

He'll find it.

1:09:451:09:46

You know what?

1:10:021:10:04

She knew everything about me and she paid my debts

1:10:051:10:09

and she loved me in spite of it.

1:10:091:10:13

SHE WHEEZES

1:10:461:10:48

1:11:051:11:08

Thanks for the suit and the room.

1:11:121:11:15

Can't offer to pay you back, but by God I wish I could.

1:11:171:11:20

Feel free to enjoy your meal.

RINGTONE: # You'll find a girl like you

1:13:331:13:36

# I'll find a guy like me... #

1:13:361:13:37

-Hello.

-'Abi, are you at work?'

1:13:391:13:42

Dad?

1:13:421:13:44

-'OK.'

-Listen, can I talk to you?

1:13:491:13:52

Yeah, just talk, Dad, it's what people do on phones.

1:13:521:13:55

Abi, could you come up to London?

1:13:551:13:57

'I know it's short notice, but if George can get away...'

1:13:571:14:01

Where?

1:14:011:14:03

So, I said to Berlusconi,

1:14:031:14:05

"Silvio, you can do more than just a soccer team.

1:14:051:14:09

"You can run the country."

1:14:091:14:11

He followed my advice.

1:14:111:14:13

Then he said to me, "Be my personal assistant."

1:14:131:14:17

I said, "I am attending a number of these now,

1:14:171:14:19

-"I don't know if I'll have time."

-Ralph. You're looking well.

1:14:191:14:23

Good. Wonderful you could come.

1:14:231:14:27

Do you know Peter Ryman?

1:14:271:14:29

Software designer, a friend of Bill Gates.

1:14:291:14:35

Reverend Tim Brookes.

1:14:351:14:37

We met the other day, at the hospital.

1:14:371:14:40

Yes, I have a job there now.

1:14:401:14:43

Lisa was a happy woman.

1:14:431:14:45

As well as being a great shoe designer, and a great artist.

1:14:471:14:52

I can still see her now.

1:14:541:14:57

With her pencil at her thumb...

1:14:571:15:00

..never leaving the paper.

1:15:031:15:05

The line sweeping up the heel to the upper...

1:15:061:15:10

..along the top line across the throat.

1:15:111:15:14

Tracing the vamp.

1:15:141:15:16

Diving towards the toe.

1:15:181:15:21

Stroking the sole to rise

1:15:221:15:25

like a caress towards the breast of the heel and down to its tip.

1:15:251:15:32

Sort of thing.

1:15:321:15:34

Lisa.

1:15:381:15:39

ALL: To Lisa.

1:15:391:15:42

Bravo, Ralph.

1:15:461:15:48

Look at him.

1:16:161:16:18

There he is.

1:16:201:16:23

Ralph.

1:16:231:16:25

We have Ralph.

1:16:341:16:36

Dad?

1:16:391:16:41

Our host.

1:17:001:17:02

God bless him.

1:17:041:17:06

And now, my toast.

1:17:091:17:12

To Lisa.

1:17:121:17:13

My wife.

1:17:131:17:15

Your friend.

1:17:161:17:18

My...love.

1:17:251:17:29

To Lisa.

1:17:321:17:34

And to our daughter Abigail.

1:17:341:17:37

ALL: To Abigail.

1:17:441:17:46

HE CHUCKLES Ralph.

1:18:081:18:10

Appalling, dreadful man.

1:18:111:18:14

But...

1:18:161:18:18

Well...?

1:18:201:18:21

He was also rather wonderful.

1:18:221:18:24

And so was she.

1:18:261:18:28

She really did know me, didn't she?

1:18:391:18:42

Us.
