-Buggering hell! -That's a must-see. I can't find it in the guidebook. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
No, Mum, it's the traffic. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
We've barely moved three inches. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Keep calm, dear. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
Have a biscuit. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
CAR HORNS BLARE | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
Caribbean Crumbler. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
What makes it Caribbean? | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
A dash of rum and some desecrated coconut. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
You mean desiccated. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
-No. -Ugh! | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
Still, the end justifies the means. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
French Revolution, Mum. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
I'll give you the full lecture in Paris. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
I'm glad you're excited, dear. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
I really am. A grand tour. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Prepaid. The empires, the art, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
the big questions of Europe then and now. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
Yes. Do we still get duty-free? | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
I think it's going to be something really special to remember. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Because I know you don't want to talk about it, but... | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
-What? -The C word. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-I've never had a problem talking cun... -The other one, Mum. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
Cancer. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
Why? Who's got cancer? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Mum! | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
Rollmop? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
This programme contains very strong language | 0:01:27 | 0:01:34 | |
Frannie, what's the matter? | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
You're surprised, upset, confused? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
How many syllables? What does it rhyme with? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Oh, you're angry. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
-FRAN GRUNTS -Sit there. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
I'll go and put the kettle on. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
FRAN BREATHES LOUDLY THROUGH HER NOSE | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Here, eat your feelings, dear. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Look... | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
Perhaps I shouldn't have let you run away with that detail. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
We're in post-factual times. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
And it was hard getting a word in edgeways with you fan-splaining... | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-FRAN CONTINUES SQUASHING CAKES -..every Saxon settlement. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
-Ha! -I just wanted to spend time with you, Frannie. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Didn't you say that the end justifies the means? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Don't you DARE use history against me! | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
But it was against us! | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
I was trying to fix it. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
-That's all. -That's all?! | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
We were just starting to enjoy it. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
And each other. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
And we still can. Look. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Unbelievable! | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
There is a silver lining to all this, you know. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
I am not dying. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Frannie. You're part of me. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Here we go. You always say that. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Well, look where it's got me. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
I didn't have the life I thought I would either. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
The things I missed out on... | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
You don't get sympathy. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
You lied. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
So what? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
That's what we do when things are difficult, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
when they're hard and painful. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
This whole trip has been about pretending you weren't a shit mum. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
That's the truth. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Well, here's some truth for you. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
You WERE too fat for the ballet club. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
The cat DIDN'T move to Brighton... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Time to go. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
-Frannie! -No! | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
The things you say and do have consequences, Mum. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
So, cancer isn't going to kill you, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
but I just might. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
What are you saying? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
I'm saying, congratulations. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
You've got your life back. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
I'm going to get mine. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
DOOR SLAMS | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
SHE SIGHS | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
We had to cover your absence with a supply teacher. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
-It was half term. -It was, but then you didn't come back for five weeks. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
Could we call it a sabbatical? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
I know you've had some personal issues. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Don't worry about the postcard. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
I intercepted it. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
Some rather strong words to the Chair of the Governors. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
SHE GASPS | 0:04:38 | 0:04:39 | |
Oh, Mum! | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
I am sorry you didn't get the promotion. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
How is the new Head of Department? | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
He's very good. Yes. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
Very good. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
Very hands on with the Sixth Form. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
Great(!) | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
Now, Fran... | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
..I have always liked you. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
-You have? -I've always felt we had a connection. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
Me, geography, you, history. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
The humanities. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
Now that you don't work here any more, Fran... | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
..would you like to mudlark with me? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-I beg your pardon? -We could go for dinner. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Who knows? | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
Uh... I shall have to think about that one, Sir. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-Nigel. -Sir Nigel. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
There's been a lot to take in. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:25 | |
-At home. -Yes, of course. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
-Here. -No pressure. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
And, em, I have to find a job. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
You could always tutor for a bit. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
OK. That's enough for today, I think. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
Yeah. Right. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
MOBILE PHONE BLEEPS | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
# Hurts to be around you... # | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Nope! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
# I can't stand you lying... # | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
Frannie, I'm doing your favourite - moussaka, no mince, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
I'm going to dice up a quail. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
And life's too short for bechamel. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
I'm using Delia's cheat recipe, and I know you love ready-made custard. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
I'm making enough for two. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
LINE CUTS OUT | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
Oh, bum! | 0:06:18 | 0:06:19 | |
Answering machines. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
# What is it you think I need? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:31 | |
# Everything, it's not true | 0:06:31 | 0:06:37 | |
# Give it all up for you... # | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
I've been to some terrible places in my time. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
But being sent to Coventry is the worst. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
OK, so I told her I was dying. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Technically, we all are. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Big deal! | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
You fancy coming to Norfolk with me to catch crabs? | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
# Lord, please, follow me home | 0:07:13 | 0:07:19 | |
# Cos I'm down on my knees and I feel alone | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
# Home | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
# Got nowhere to call home... # | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Frannie? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
# No-one to call home | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
# When I'm out on the town, I get what I need | 0:07:52 | 0:07:58 | |
# No-one waiting around for this tumbleweed at home | 0:07:58 | 0:08:06 | |
# Got nowhere to call home | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
# No-one to call me home... # | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
Well, I guess it's just you and me now. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
Right. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
I think Hitler's foreign policy was possibly more than "a wind-up". | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
-We'll put "crumb" then, innit? -What? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
MOBILE PHONE RINGS | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
That is your ringtone?! Tradge! | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
Just focus on the essay, please. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
For real, is that your phone? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
I had that when I was in year three. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
It's perfectly functional, thank you. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
I just haven't upgraded the operating thingy. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
Do you...? | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
This is some jank kit, man. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
Password? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:37 | |
Like I want to read your phone, Miss. You've got nothing I ain't. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:44 | |
Except for, like, a million missed calls. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
Oh, from my mother. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
Can you block her? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:49 | |
But it ain't her ringing you. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |
-It's a Mr Merdon. -Just, give that back. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
Are you blue-balling him? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
Just get on with your work. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Hold the goddess pose. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
Breathing deeply down into the pelvic chakra. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
Before moving on to the heart. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Now, gently into your uttanasana. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-What? -The uttanasana. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
Bend forward, feel yourself unblocking. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
MIM BREAKS WIND | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
Fran? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:56 | |
Fran! | 0:11:12 | 0:11:13 | |
I didn't know you were so fast on your feet. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Only short bursts. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
Sorry. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:19 | |
I really couldn't wait to speak to you. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
Listen, Mr Merdon. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
-Nigel. -Merdon. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:24 | |
Maybe I could potentially like you, you're so tenacious. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
No, Fran, there's a situation at school. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
Oh. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-What? -You remember the new appointment I told you about, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-that got the promotion? -Oh, yeah, "very hands-on". | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
A little too hands-on, as it turns out. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
He's run off to Belgium, with a sixth former. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
-The job is yours. -When can I start? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:02 | |
And even those who can obsessively remember every detail | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
from a misspelled birthday card in 1987 | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
to a jibe about facial hair in 2017 are doomed to | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
relive it until they understand it. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
Yes, history will set you free. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
I've finally done it. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:40 | |
Sounds like it. I got your distress calls. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
Oh, Pat. I've been at my wits' end. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
Well, luckily I am not reading this month's book club choice | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
on principle. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
So I am free to come along and hear exactly what you've done wrong now. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
I'll just get my hat. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:57 | |
Hat? No, no! | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
We do this at my country club. The dress code is very specific. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
But it's a Robin Hood fun day. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Off! | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
That was a bloody stupid thing to say. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
So how can I make things right with her? | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
What would you do? | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
Gemma and I have hardly had a cross word. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
Let alone a set-to about a faked terminal illness. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
I tried to keep things going. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
Carpe diem. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
I even tried yoga to have my chakras re-pointed. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
But right in the middle of it I was gripped by this terrible pain. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
Probably indigestion. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
My Ronnie has been a martyr to reflux for years. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
That's why I put him in the guest room. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:45 | |
But it didn't go, Pat. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
And ever since I've had this dreadful guilt hanging | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
about my solar plexus. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
Well, at least you're being honest now. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
Not about everything. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
What else have you stolen from my house? | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
-Nothing. -Mim, why did you take that? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
Because it's the one thing that I always meant to tell her. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
What can you tell her now, after all this time? | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-But maybe... -But nothing. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:14 | |
My advice to you is the same as it was in 1981. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Don't crash the royal wedding in a white bikini? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Oh, don't be obtuse, Mim. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
You didn't listen to me then, please listen to me now. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
Leave well alone. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
# What do you say? | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
# Is this the time? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
# For one more try... # | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
Softly, softly, catchy monkey. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
# What do you say? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
# Is this unwise? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
# To think my fears... # | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
Any plans for the weekend? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Sleep, marking, more sleep. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
Yes, well, as we say in headship, the first terms are the worst. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
-Gallows humour. Fran? -Yes? -Frannie! | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
What are you doing here? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
You don't answer the phone. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
-You don't reply to my e-mails. -Well, luckily I was hacked, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
and had to reset my password to something I cannot remember. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
I had to see you, Frannie. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
Look, I don't have time for this, Mum. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
I'm very busy now I'm Head of Department. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
I'm very happy for you, if you are. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
Of course I'm happy. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
Is that why you're here, to ruin it all again? | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
No! Do whatever boring job you want, Frannie. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
Please. I just need you to understand something. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
I've only just come to understand it myself. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
You're a liar and a narcissist? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
The whole trip I was trying to tell you a truth. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
I was. But I didn't have much to give you. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
A bit like my tenth birthday, then? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
What did I want? A world atlas. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
What did I get? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
The Kama Sutra in Braille. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
You were always such a prude. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Oh! | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
I don't feel good. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
I think we've done that one. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
Look, I know you hate me right now. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
But I bring this out of love. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
-I have in my hand a piece of paper... -Oh, don't! | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
And Chamberlain said, "I hold in my hand," so get it right. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
I just want peace, Fra... | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
SHE COLLAPSES | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
Are you really doing this? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:51 | |
You're so embarrassing! | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
I'm walking, Mum. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-Fran! -No, leave her. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
She is fine. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
SHE MOANS | 0:17:00 | 0:17:01 | |
Hi. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
Now, as you know, I can't tutor you any more. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-Gutted. -Likewise. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:17 | |
But one last thing. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
I don't know what you did to my phone, but it's gone weird. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
It doesn't ring or play messages. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
Or, like, you had it on silent. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
-MR MERDON: -'Hi, Fran, please, call as soon as you can, please. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
'It's your mother. We had to call an ambulance.' | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
And...delete. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
That is cold, man. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:40 | |
You really don't know the half of it. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
Which reminds me. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:44 | |
Your history essay. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
I just don't get it. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:50 | |
The Cold War, two superpowers, | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
each fearing the other was intent on domination. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
Brought to the brink of mutual destruction by decades of mistrust | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
and misunderstanding. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
They should have just got on the blower. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:03 | |
Well, there was a hotline. Telex machine, really. But... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
Yes, fine. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
Hello... | 0:18:14 | 0:18:15 | |
Fran. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
-Where is she? -She was in there. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
Oh. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
Oh! I didn't hate you. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
Not really. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
I loved you. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
I'm very glad to hear it. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
-Mum! -I told you I was ill. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
What? Have you somehow suddenly got cancer just to prove a point? | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
No, it's nothing like that. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
What your mother has is a chronic case of life. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
With added diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
-I see. -Good. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
Because she's not in the best of shape. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Not getting any younger | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
and when trying to do too much on her...own... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
Well, she stopped speaking to me. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:34 | |
Something's got to give. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
-Well, how long has she got? -There's no need to panic. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
But I will say this. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
If there are things you want to do - | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
do them. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:47 | |
Frannie... | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
Yes, Mum? | 0:19:56 | 0:19:57 | |
Can I have a biscuit? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:01 | |
Where's my biscuit? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:09 | |
Mum, you heard what the doctor said. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
Yeah, yeah, high this, low that. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
No, the other bit. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
-I'm dying? -Yes. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
-We all are. -Well, what the fuck are we going to do about it? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
Come on. Let's get out of here. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
-My bucket? -Your bucket. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
OK, let's do this. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Bags, check. Passports, check. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
Foul smelling Tupperware, check. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
Mum, check. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
You, me and the open road. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
Where next, right? | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-Frannie... -Yeah? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
You know I said there was something I wanted to tell you. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-Yeah. -Well, I collapsed, and you left me for dead. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
Why have you brought that photo of Gemma and the bunny man? | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
It's not Gemma. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
It's you. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
And your father. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
You said he died before I was born. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
It was easier. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
I was a single mum, it was the '80s. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
It seemed like a good idea at the time. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
That's what you said about Betamax, Mum. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
This is my father. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
I know. But it was complicated. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
He was a little bit unreliable. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
A little married. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
Actually, he was rather little. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:55 | |
You said you barely knew him. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
He had the delicate touch of a librarian. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
Fingering me like a rare manuscript in his little white gloves. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
You said he came and went. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
Well, that bit's true. He never lingered post-coitally. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
I met him then? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
Once or twice, yes. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:17 | |
So what happened? | 0:22:19 | 0:22:20 | |
I told him it was all or nothing. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
And he broke my heart. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
You only tore my perineum, dear. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
And so what? He took off? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
We lost touch. Easy to disappear before the internet. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
So there was nothing to tell me. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
Well, not back then... | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
Fair enough, I guess. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:48 | |
And ultimately, so what? | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
Never knew him. Never missed him. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
But thanks, Mum. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
I get why you're telling me now. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
-You do? -It's the last truth, isn't it? | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
Well, I'm not sure. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel, but that's just it. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
I have got to figure this shit out. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Blank slate. No issues. Off we go. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
ENGINE REVS So, come on. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
Northern lights? Las Vegas? | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
Bareback llama wrestling at Machu bloody Picchu? | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
That sounds good. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
And we can do it all on the way. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
What? Way to where? | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
Your father. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:32 | |
I think I know where he is. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
# Never let me go, never let me go | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
# And the arms of the ocean are carrying me | 0:23:40 | 0:23:47 | |
# And all this devotion was rushing out of me | 0:23:47 | 0:23:53 | |
# And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me | 0:23:53 | 0:24:00 | |
# But the arms of the ocean delivered me. # | 0:24:00 | 0:24:05 |
