Janine! | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
What is it? Go back to bed. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Janine, she was here! | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Who was there? | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
GROANING | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
For goodness' sake! | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
What have you done?! | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
-She's in there. -Have you hurt yourself? | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
I'm telling you she's in there! | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
-There's nobody's in there. Come on, let me get you onto a chair. -I'm telling you she's in there! | 0:00:55 | 0:01:00 | |
There's nobody in here. It's completely empty. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
You must have been hallucinating. How many of those pills have you taken? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
I'm telling you, she was there. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Wearing the same dress as in the photograph. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Sorry? What photograph? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Who are you talking about? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Your mother! | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
Max? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Sorry, babe. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
Was it a bit loud? | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
No, I woke up and you weren't there. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Same old, innit. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
I got straight off, come two o'clock I'm wide awake and buzzing. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Just gave up in the end. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
Can I guess? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
There's nothing to guess. It's just... | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
just something I go through now and again, innit. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
-So it's got nothing to do with what Tanya said... -No, course it ain't. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
Only I'm not sure I'd be altogether overjoyed to learn my ex was starting a new family. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
Not that he could manage it. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Am I warm? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
As far as I'm concerned, she can do what she wants. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
It's just the kids, you know? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Once junior comes along, they're going to get forgotten about. It's not fair on them. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
What? | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
I think it's about time you and I stopped pretending. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
I think the reason you can't sleep... | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
..the reason you're so upset... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
..it's got nothing to do with the kids. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
I think it's cos | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
you've never quite fallen out of love with her, have you? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Max, look at me. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
Honest answers only. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
Yes or no? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Don't usually see you in here at this time. What you doing? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
Couldn't sleep. Needed to get out of the house for a bit. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
-Oh, really? -Yeah, really. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
So you haven't had a row, then? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
-You and fatty boy? -No, nothing at all. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
-Are you sure? -Yeah, I'm sure. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
-Has he been coming on to you? -No! | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Oh, no, he hasn't, has he? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
-Hasn't what? -Honey, I've been there. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Even the nicest-seeming guys can do the most dreadful things. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
-Has he hit you? -No! | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-It's nothing to do with Arthur at all. -So what, then? | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
I went to see a solicitor on Friday. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
I have an immigration hearing, in... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
..six hours! | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
I've screwed up so bad. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
-It was a mistake getting married. -How? -They'll think it was a scam to keep me in the country. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
What did Fatboy say to that? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
He wasn't there. I haven't been able to bring myself to tell him. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Honey, another coffee, please. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Sure. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
Come on. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
That's it. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
You just... You haven't taken on nearly enough liquids. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
You're dehydrated. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
That is what all of this is about. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
My time is up. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
I am not having you die on me. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
What are you talking about? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
You've been praying for this! | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
I mean in my living room. Far too much hassle. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
THEY CHUCKLE | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
About my funeral. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
Are you not listening? There is going to be no dying. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
-That's an order. -I don't want one. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Good, because you're not going to have one. Not yet. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
-And when you do... -The doctors can do what they like with me. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
I mean, there's nothing worth salvaging anyway. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
I rather relish the idea of young medical students gawping over my innards. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:25 | |
"Where's her heart?" they'll say. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
"Extraordinary. She doesn't appear to have one." | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
I've never told you this, young lady, but I rather like you. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
It's that defiant streak. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
That refusal to be anything other than you are. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
Well, I wonder where I get that from? | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Do you know, just to cheese you off, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
I'm going to give you the most fantastic funeral. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Loads and loads of hideous floral tributes. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
You know, ones that spell out "Grandma" in lilies. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
Tasteful, you know? And I, I will be chief mourner, dressed all in black. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
With a little pillbox hat, and a veil, and maybe some fishnets... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:17 | |
Why do I always feel so filthy at funerals? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
Oh, and there'll definitely be a choir. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
I think I can stretch to that. What song would you have? | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
Yes! We Have No Bananas. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
She's there again! | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
-Next to your father! -No, Granny, | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-look, it's just a picture. -No! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-She's there! -No. -She's as real as you or me. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
This is it. Now, come on, help me. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-Please. -What? Can you just stop this? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Or I'll start being extra nice to you. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
Or something else you'd really hate. And I mean it. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
It's not true I don't have a heart. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
-I DO have a heart. -I know. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
And I do know how to love. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
Because I loved her. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Oh, Granny... | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
All right, then, let me ask you another question. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
Do you think I'm stupid? | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
No, course I don't. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
Cos I have got eyes and ears, Max. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Underneath all that big hair and make-up, I have got a brain. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
And I notice things. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:40 | |
And while I'm | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
long enough in the tooth to know that all relationships | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
require a bit of give and take... | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
..I'm not so dumb as not to know when I'm becoming second best. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Babe, that ain't true! I got loads of respect for you. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
I'm not talking about respect. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
All right. Well, let me ask you a question. This word "love". | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
What do you think it means? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
I'd rather hear what YOU think it means. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
It means loads of things. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
You know, "I want to possess you. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
"I want to control you. I want to be controlled BY you. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
"I'm needy. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:22 | |
"I'm weak. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
-"I need reassurance." -That's what you think love means? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
I think that's what other people muddle it up with. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
So, what is it, then? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
It's about trust. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
Intimacy? | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Being truthful. Wanting to put someone else before yourself. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
Babe, none of that...none of that applies to me and Tanya. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
So? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
It's just emotional cat-and-mouse, innit. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
Stupid, ridiculous, never-ending game. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
And who's winning? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
Nobody. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:25 | |
So, what you doing here? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Are YOU going to tell him? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
Or do you want me to? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
There isn't a day goes by when I don't look at him | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
and find myself having a conversation with him in my head. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
Shame he was such a slug. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:54 | |
Yeah, well, I'm not going to be sticking up for him. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
I know what he was like. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
But it's not rational, is it? Some people you find yourself forgiving over and over again. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
Not me. Any hope of that died when she died. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:10 | |
And all I was left with was bitterness and hatred... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
and my money. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
Ooh, how he hated that. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
Money doesn't buy you very much. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
But it does buy you power. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
I want you to do something for me. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
-What? -In the bedroom, in that drawer, there's a biscuit tin and a bundle of letters. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:37 | |
Bring them here for me. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
-What are you doing in there? -Oh, I'm just coming. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:04 | |
-Janine! -All right! | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
All right. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
-Did you look at it? -Look at what? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
Of course you looked at it! | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
You wouldn't be the Janine I know if you didn't. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
No, I don't know what you're talking about. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
You didn't come across my will while you were rooting about in there? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
Be very odd if you didn't. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
-Considering the time you were in there. -OK. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
I saw it, you know. So what? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Why don't I quite believe this display of studied indifference? | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
Where's the resentment? Oh, come on, girl, let it out. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:52 | |
You'll feel so much better afterwards. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
All right, so what is the Cancer Nurses Trust anyway? I've never heard of it. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
-They looked after your mother during the final weeks of her illness. -Well, who'd've thought it? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:05 | |
Lydia Simmonds, lady bountiful, selfless philanthropist and all round good egg. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:13 | |
That's more like it. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
A trace of disappointment. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
Anger, even. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
Look, if it's for a good cause | 0:12:19 | 0:12:24 | |
and it helps you buy your way into heaven, then why not? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
These are all of Mum. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
Supposing I was to tell you we're talking well into seven figures, | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
would that make a difference? | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
Would that light the gleam of avarice in your eye? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
What are you trying to do, Granny, torture me? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
Is that it? Because, let me tell you, it isn't working. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
Yes, but just think, Janine. With all that money, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
you could end up as happy and fulfilled as me. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
Think of what you'll be missing. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
I would rather have these. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-You are as British as me. -That's not quite British enough. -What? | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Oh, come on, Fats, you know what she's talking about as well as I do. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
Last I heard, there was this thing called law. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
-Yeah, and it's against me. -So, what time we got to be at this hearing? | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
-Ten o'clock. -All right, well that gives me exactly 5.75 hours. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
-What are you going to do? -Learn to be a lawyer. This ain't over! | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
So, if what you say about you and Tanya is right | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
and this is all a big game, then what's all this stuff about? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
All that stuff about her wanting more kids was just her next throw of the dice? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
Can there be any worse reason for having more children than just to get back at your ex-husband? | 0:14:02 | 0:14:07 | |
So what you're feeling now is exactly what she WANTS you to feel. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
So how do I stop feeling it? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
By understanding what's going on. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
Do you think me and Harry aren't wrapped up in the same stuff? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
The only reason you don't know it is cos you don't see it. But it's there. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
So how do you manage it? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
I don't. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
You see, the sad irony of this is that | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
you can know all of this and then just carry on the same old way. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
Cos it's too scary to do anything different. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
What do you mean, "scary"? | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
To act differently takes courage, Max. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
Courage I don't have. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
Courage to be a grown-up. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:00 | |
Why do you think I hide behind all that make-up? | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
Because I'm scared. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
I'm scared that if people could see the real me | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-then I wouldn't be able to pretend any more. -Shhh, V, V, V. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
Please, please, V. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
Cos that's what we're all doing. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
You, me, Tanya, everyone. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
Pretending. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
Well, we could stop right now. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
This very second. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
Let's make love. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
Right here. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
I want to. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:01 | |
What are you doing? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
Will you get it off me? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
-Why do you want to take it off? -Oh, just do it! | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
OK. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
There you go. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:23 | |
What do you think it's worth, Janine? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
I don't know. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Is it solid gold? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:33 | |
If I told you it was priceless, what would you say? | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
I gave it to your mother the day you were born. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
Open it up. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:46 | |
That picture was taken | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
on your third birthday. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
Your mother loved that photograph. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
And so do I. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
You were such a happy child. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
Yeah, well, that's not the way I heard it. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-According to Pat, I was the devil's spawn. -But that was afterwards. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
After what? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:14 | |
-Do you know what my earliest memory is? -No, what was that? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
It was of my dad | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
telling me that Mummy had gone away | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
and that she wasn't coming back. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
I thought he meant to the shops, you know. That was the only | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
"away" I knew. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
I wanted you to come to the funeral. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
But he wouldn't have it. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
He said you were too young. That it would upset you. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
I knew that he was lying, of course. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
About the going away bit, I mean. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
Not that I could have known what lying was then. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
I just, | 0:17:54 | 0:17:55 | |
I didn't take it on board that she was dead for days. | 0:17:55 | 0:18:00 | |
Weeks. It just wasn't mentioned. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
And I... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
I can remember being so... | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
so angry at her for leaving me. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
I said to Frank "Who's going to look after Janine while we're all at the funeral?" | 0:18:11 | 0:18:17 | |
And he said, "Oh, I've got this friend I was thinking of asking." | 0:18:17 | 0:18:24 | |
I said, "Is it a woman?" And that's when he starts fiddling with his spectacles, | 0:18:24 | 0:18:29 | |
which was always a sure sign. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-Pat. -Yeah, well, she didn't come. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
He backed down. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
I'd've killed him if he hadn't. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
I wanted you to come and live with me. You do know that? | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
What? | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
When it was being discussed. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
Frank said, "I can't run a business and look after a four-year-old." | 0:18:50 | 0:18:55 | |
So I said, "I will." | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
So, you mean that when I was living with Clare | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
I could've gone to you instead? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
I begged him. Even though the words stuck in my throat. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
Cos I wanted it. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
-I wanted it so much... -Oh, Granny... | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
I wanted you... | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
If I'd had a little girl to look after, things might have been... | 0:19:13 | 0:19:18 | |
Might have what? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:19 | |
Then afterwards he did everything he could to keep you away from me. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
I say "he", but I think it was more her by then, | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
but he just went along with it, you know, coward that he was. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:34 | |
Well, it's a lovely locket. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
It's a lovely photograph. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
It's yours. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
Keep it. Put it on. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
-No, no, no, I can't do that. -Just for once do what you're told, mm? | 0:19:48 | 0:19:54 | |
What time is it? | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Oh, I don't know. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:04 | |
It is half past four. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
What time does it get light? | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
I don't know. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
Can't be long now. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:16 | |
I can feel it. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:19 | |
Your mother was born at this time of day. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
I'd been in labour forever. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
And halfway through, the sirens went off... | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
..and the midwife thought that I might haemorrhage if we moved to the shelter. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
So I was stuck under that kitchen table for another three hours | 0:20:45 | 0:20:51 | |
with the bombs falling all round. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
No epidurals in those days. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
There was no nothing. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
I thought, "If this is childbirth, you can keep it!" | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
Granny, you shouldn't be talking. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
It's wearing you out. You need to rest. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
And then suddenly there she was. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
Bawling and screaming. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
"You've got a beautiful | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
"baby girl, Mrs Simmonds." | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
And that was Mum? | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
And then the midwife pulled back the blackout curtain | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
and it was dawn. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
And outside, miraculously, | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
birdsong. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
And the room was flooded with a pale yellow light. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
And suddenly the whole thing was alive and just for one moment, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:55 | |
despite the pain, despite the bombs, despite the wretched war... | 0:21:55 | 0:22:03 | |
..it was as if everything in the entire universe | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
made complete and perfect sense. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:15 | |
As if I'd been touched by God. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Granny... | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
Would you be very offended | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
if I told you that I loved you? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
SHE CHUCKLES | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
What? What's so funny? | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
Everything's funny. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
The whole damned thing is funny from up here looking down on it. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:44 | |
Up where? | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
Are you really not bothered about the will? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
Well, I'm not saying that I won't feel differently tomorrow... | 0:22:56 | 0:23:01 | |
..but right now I couldn't give a damn. Honestly. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:10 | |
Kiss me. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
So, what about these letters? | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
Not now. Later. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
I want you to take me into the front room. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
I want to see the sunrise. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
OK, well let me just get your wheelchair. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
Hey. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
What you doing? | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
Nothing. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
You go to bed, babe. You're going to need some sleep. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
-So do you. -Yeah, but I'm Superman, all right? | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
I can do anything. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
Oh, Arthur... | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
What? | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
You know I can't cope with this. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
-What? -Knowing that, you know, if I didn't ask you to marry me, then you'd probably stand a better chance. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:17 | |
Well, I'm glad you did. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
Really? | 0:24:19 | 0:24:20 | |
-I so wish I... -No, no, no, no. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
I know you don't love me, Merce, all right. But that ain't going to stop me loving you, OK. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
So just don't blow out all hope. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
Listen, Merce, if all this goes wrong, and I'm not saying it will, | 0:24:37 | 0:24:43 | |
-but if it does, then... I'm coming to Nigeria with you, all right? No arguments. -No. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:50 | |
So just say, "Yes, Arthur." | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
Yes, Arthur. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
Good. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
-You know what? -What? | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
I think I'm going to give up the fags. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
Really? | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
Yeah, it's suddenly like I don't need them any more. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
It's weird. I don't even want one. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
That's great. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
Abi'll be pleased. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
V? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
Yeah? | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
Will you marry me? | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
Are you serious? | 0:25:41 | 0:25:42 | |
Yes or no? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:46 | |
Sure. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:51 | |
Why not? | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
Good. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:58 | |
FEEBLY: Pull the curtains. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
Open the window. I want to hear the birds. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:16 | |
BIRDSONG DRIFTS IN | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
Oh, wow. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
-Who'd've thought it? It's amazing. -Closer. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
Closer. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
Hey...listen. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
The world is a beautiful place sometimes. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
We forget so easily. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
Is it me, or does it look different? | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
Same old square. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
Same old gardens. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Same old...rubbish. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
I don't know what it is. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:17 | |
It's almost like I've never looked at it properly before. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:24 | |
I know this is going to sound stupid, but... | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
..it's almost beautiful. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
It's like I want to go round and knock on | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
everyone's door and say "Wake up! | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
"you don't know what you're missing, you idiots!" | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
Instead they're all just | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
tucked up in bed asleep. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
They haven't got the foggiest. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Isn't it weird being alive? | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
I mean, when you really think about it, | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
it's just so strange. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
That's the trouble, though, isn't it? | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
We don't ever think about it, I mean. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
You're not saying much. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:17 | |
Granny? | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
