0:00:28 > 0:00:31I'll fly one of these.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- One day.- Careful what you wish for.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Crikey!- They'll have us in the trenches next!
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- How's your head?- Still hurts a bit.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Fresh air'll do you good.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Race you to the fields!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07A Spitfire.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Pride of place on the village green.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Ah!
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- I imagine Lady Hoxley pulled a few strings.- Ooh!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Shame you won't get to see it. - Well, I'll have a gander later.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Ah. Complete bed rest, we want that foot to mend! Open.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I'll be straight back after, to check on you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28(After the committee meeting.)
0:01:28 > 0:01:30There's no need to do that.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Nonsense, Frederick, you are an invalid.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36It's my Christian duty to aid your convalescence.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Call of nature, outside privy.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Oh! I'll pick up something nice for our supper!
0:01:45 > 0:01:46HE GROANS
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Nothing like hard graft to work off a hangover.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58At least you weren't up for milking.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01If I'd known engaged meant busy...
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Get stuck in with those pitchforks!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I know where I'd like to stick it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07THEY MAKE PLANE NOISES
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- It's nice of you to join us! - There's a Spitfire in the village.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- We had noticed. - Think they'll let me sit in it?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Maybe when you've finished your schoolwork.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I'll do it later.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23You're in enough trouble as it is, I want you home when I get back!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Less of the chat, please, ladies!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Sieg heil, mein Fuhrer!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33All right, Jack.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Iris. Proficiency test.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01'Village stalls, coconut shy,'
0:03:01 > 0:03:03pigs - best of breed,
0:03:03 > 0:03:08demonstration baseball match - GIs, traditional ploughing competition,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11parade of the Home Guard,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13juvenile poetry recital.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Anything we've missed?
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Lady Hoxley?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I think that's quite enough.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24The village of Coddington has organised a gymkhana.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Indian troops on mules!
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Maybe Connie could sing?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I think I shall have to veto that suggestion.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32On what grounds?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35This is an official fundraiser, not a showboat for local turns.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Open-air dance?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41An open invitation to drunken decadence!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I'm sure we can round up the trouble-makers.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46It was your fiancee I was referring to.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Who will be chaperoning our guest of honour?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Lady Denman has been detained.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01She's paying a visit to Rose Bailey's family.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Least she can do, under the circumstances.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08She's sending Miss Timpson in her place.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Miss Timpson?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14WLA County Chairman.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Lady Denman's right-hand man!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Agricultural organiser for the WI! Master of the Hounds of Cluberry!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Yes, thank you, Mrs Gulliver.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26She's keen to address the land girls.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Let's hope they're ready for her.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Our Father who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name...
0:04:32 > 0:04:36He needs reassurance. He needs his wife.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37He will get better?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40These things take time.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Well, I've waited for months,
0:04:47 > 0:04:48I can wait a bit longer.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Excuse me.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I thought the ward could do with cheering up.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01That's very kind.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Trauma-induced amnesia.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Shell shock?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10More common than one might think.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Perhaps Mrs Fisher could work on the ward?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'll see what I can arrange.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Do John good to have her around.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I thought perhaps I might help?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27It is my house, after all.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28This afternoon?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I'm supervising sponge cakes - Wings for Victory?
0:05:34 > 0:05:39I could always delegate. Shall we say one o'clock?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47..on earth as it is in Heaven
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Give us this day our daily bread
0:05:50 > 0:05:51And forgive us our trespasses
0:05:51 > 0:05:53As we forgive those that trespass against us...
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Got to make sure them strings are tight,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07don't want any mice getting up there.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Don't rise to him.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Can't you tick those boxes somewhere else?- Oi, rules is rules.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15COUGHING
0:06:17 > 0:06:18I can hardly breathe!
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Here, take this.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31CREAKING
0:06:32 > 0:06:34IRIS SCREAMS
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Iris!
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Lie still.- I'm fine. - Take it easy!- I'm all right!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44We've been trying to get your thresher fixed all summer.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Slip of a girl, accident waiting to happen.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- She could have been killed! - I don't think so.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Women weren't made for heavy machinery.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54She's a liability.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57They ALL are! I'd get rid of the lot of them tomorrow!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Iris, wait.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- I let the girls down. - No, it's not your fault.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Why are you here?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Bit of moral support.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10You've just made everything ten times worse!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Flight Sergeant Woods should be showing signs of improvement.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Intravenous drip and morphine if he asks.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Permission to take away the trays, doctor- Thank you, Harper.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30They said it was in France.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33You need to eat, Sergeant Fisher. Build up your strength.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Military rations, it's too much salt.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Tomorrow's presentation.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I've timed it to coincide with Miss Timpson's arrival.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Doesn't feel right, not with John stuck in here.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54There's a man over there with his hand up.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Oh, it's Warrant Officer Williams, your ladyship.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's, erm...
0:07:59 > 0:08:00bedpan.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I'm sure Lady Hoxley would be happy to assist.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10That is what she's here for, after all.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Right.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Tell me something I want to remember.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- I can't think.- Something about us.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Day you proposed.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It was raining.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Never seen rain like it
0:08:26 > 0:08:30and you took my dad out into the yard to ask for his blessing
0:08:30 > 0:08:33and by the time you'd convinced him, you were completely soaked to the bone.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35"What's a bit of rain, John?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38"Our Joyce's happiness, that's what matters."
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Sounds like quite a character.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Yeah, he was.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I think Flight Sergeant Fisher should get some rest.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I'd like to take him out tomorrow, please. Just some time on our own.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55As long as he doesn't exert himself.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Sun's not good for those headaches.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I'll pick you up.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Henry? You there? Morning I've had! Oh!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Come in for some peace and quiet!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- This is, erm...- Danny. Danny Sparks.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16My fiancee Connie.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Pleased to meet you, Connie.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Pleasure's all mine.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Danny's a philanthropist.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Is he now?- Looking for funds to rebuild Brinford hospital.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Well, he won't find them in here!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Terrible thing, that air raid.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Heaven knows, we've suffered in London.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33What brings you to Helmstead, Danny?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Passing through.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Excuse me.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Brinford hospital fund?
0:09:43 > 0:09:44I had to tell him something.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49I've got my eye on those candlesticks.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Village fete tomorrow.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Maybe I'll stick around.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Won't be up to much.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'm staying at the pub. It's a proper little boozer!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Home from home.- I'll bet!
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- You get those building costs, gimme me a shout.- Will do.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Regular entrepreneur.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Hm. One way of putting it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Er, something you wanted?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Better get back.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Give me strength.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35A Reverend?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Surpassed yourself this time. - Stay away from me, Danny.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Or what? Going to call the preacher?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Please...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- don't ruin this.- Maybe I'll scream for the pair of us.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Be the last sound you ever make!
0:10:48 > 0:10:49I've missed that temper.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Relax, I ain't going to ruin your little scam.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56We're getting married.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57I know the drill.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Ring in place, honeymoon planned...
0:11:00 > 0:11:02clear him out and do a runner.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03This is for real.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06I love him, Danny.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10You might have written and told me.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- I did write and tell you. - Oh, I never got the letter.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I thought I might check out the rest of the village.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Take you all of ten minutes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I was worried you'd be miffed.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I'm pleased for you, Con.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Really, I am.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45You see? Wasn't that bad, once you got down to it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I'm writing a poem.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48A poem?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Recital tomorrow. First prize is five shillings.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53We're supposed to be raising money for the war effort,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55not Martin Reeves!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I can't do anything right!
0:12:01 > 0:12:04# A rover came over the hill
0:12:04 > 0:12:08# And down through the valley so shady
0:12:10 > 0:12:16# He whistled and he sang Till the greenwoods rang
0:12:16 > 0:12:20# And he won the heart of a lady. #
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Anyone would think you were a country girl.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Bit of love, that's all she's after.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32How you bearing up?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Few bruises.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38No harm done.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Look on Vernon's face.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Swans around this village like he owns it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Thug of a son, he's asking for trouble.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- You Tuckers stick together. - Vernon got what was coming to him.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Maybe you're here to finish the job?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Look, there are things you can't understand.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I don't want to, either.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Will you read my poem?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Go and pester someone your own age!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22We should boycott Vernon's farm.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Let's go on strike?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I told you, Connie, I don't want trouble.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- There's a war on, people still need feeding.- The machinery's dangerous!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31You down tools, you would prove Vernon's point.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35He's only gone and blamed us, said we're not up to it.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Martin! Dinner.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Cheeky blighter! We're good at that job, we're better than the farmers.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44And I know just how to prove it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Terrible business.
0:13:48 > 0:13:5023.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Orphaned child.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54They were targeting the airfield.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57The bombs that hit the hospital were badly aimed.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00If the girl had been supervised, she'd never have been there.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I've had a word with the farmer concerned.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08We can't be expected to chaperone them.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11But the women do need guidance.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Then you've timed your visit perfectly.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Perhaps the war effort is wearing you out?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22We don't all possess your...
0:14:22 > 0:14:24vigour.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Rose Bailey was a casualty of war.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31She won't be the last.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I took her on.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35She was working on my estate.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37One has to show fortitude.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Leadership.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Rose deserves that much.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Thank you, Glenda.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Car, Trump!
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I thought you could show me the hospital wing later.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07In my capacity as Chair of the Brinford Nursing Association.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Cheer up, Joyce, you're getting your stripes!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13What am I supposed to say to her?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15You'll be lucky to get a word in edgeways!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Oi, Vernon!
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I hear you're holding a ploughing competition.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Show you lot how it's done. - I've seen your boys.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Clapped out, too old for call-up.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Proper farmers.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35In that case you won't be averse to a little challenge?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- What are you on about? - Farmers versus land girls.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I've never any heard anything so ridiculous!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Might have known you'd disapprove.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- She's talking sense, for the first time in her life.- Running scared?
0:15:46 > 0:15:47HE LAUGHS
0:15:47 > 0:15:51You beat my farmers and...I'll buy a new threshing machine.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Now, that's more like it!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56All right, middle field...
0:15:56 > 0:15:57We'll draw names.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- And what if we don't win? - Course we're going to win!- Ah-ah-ah!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I shall have to square this with the committee.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08At my own inconvenience.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09"Ah-ah-ah!"
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Who needs wings when you've got a broomstick, eh?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Hey...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27still here?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Well, looks that way. - You won't say anything to Henry?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- You and me?- He don't know the half of it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I bet he don't.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I've changed, Danny.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39A vicar's wife?!
0:16:41 > 0:16:44If I weren't knocked for six, I'd be laughing.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45So you do care.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Course I care.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51You're my girl.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Henry treats me properly.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00This ain't you, Con.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05You can smile and pretend, but you'll never be a part of it.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13You've got some front.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Couldn't help meself.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45Well-packed furrows, neat ins and outs, nothing to it.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49Walter's out to get you.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Think I hadn't noticed?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53He won't let this go.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Then I'll make him see sense!
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Now, "All furrows must start and finish at scratch..."
0:29:02 > 0:29:03I'm not doing it!
0:29:03 > 0:29:07"All idle runs to the opposite end must be made on the headland."
0:29:07 > 0:29:09And I don't need you to fight my battles.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Then get out there and prove me wrong!

0:29:14 > 0:29:16so try and keep your right hand down.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40If she doesn't show up soon, the girls will have to forfeit.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- She'll be here, I know she will! - No sign.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48We'll give her another five minutes.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51We've waited long enough! She's running scared.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- OK?- Where the blazes have you been?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05She's here now!
0:30:05 > 0:30:07That's all that matters.

0:31:57 > 0:32:00Come on, Iris!
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Aren't you clever? Straight furrows, not too deep.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Frank was right. Nothing to it.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- Ten more yards!- Nearly there!
0:32:15 > 0:32:17I say!

0:33:08 > 0:33:10Happiest day of my life.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Your parents are dead.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16That's right, in the bombing raid.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Joyce, I'm sorry.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21I was with you. You kept me strong.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25It must have been hard. Waiting.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Well, it's what we've learned to do.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31A stranger came home.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33I feel blessed, don't you see that?

0:34:35 > 0:34:39You've just made us look a laughing stock!
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Carried aloft like the Queen of Sheba!

0:37:22 > 0:37:23I should tell Dr Channing.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- I just need to sleep. - Well, any changes...
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Just leave it, Joyce.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Maybe Brighton?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35A sort of second honeymoon.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36We'll see, eh?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41We went to Lyme Regis for our honeymoon.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45It's all a bit hazy.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Connie.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54She told you what to say?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- You were pushing, asking questions. - So you lied to me?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Please, don't shout. - Made a fool of me!
0:38:00 > 0:38:01I don't know who I am any more!
0:38:10 > 0:38:15After you were posted abroad we wrote to each other twice a week.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17We told each other everything.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23I'm still your wife, John. Please remember that much.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Mrs Fisher?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34He might never get his memory back.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- It's a waiting game. - No, tell me the truth.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40I don't know.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03All on your own?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Who'd have a drink with me?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08You shouldn't let your father do you down.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- Beaten by a girl. - You're better than that!
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Poor excuse for a son!
0:39:16 > 0:39:17I should get back.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19One for the road?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Go home, Walter, sleep it off.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- A kiss? Send me on my way.- No!
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Me dad was right, you're nothing but a tease.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Maybe it's time you stopped listening to him.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33All eyes and smiles whenever it pleases ya!
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Hey! I said no!
0:39:34 > 0:39:36What, you saving yourself for Mr Tucker?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Get your hands off!- Or what?
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Or you'll have me to deal with! Come here.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45I ought to knock you into next week.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Leave it, Frank. - I'd like to see you try.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Come on, come and have a go.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Running scared, just like your brother.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57If I started on you I wouldn't stop!
0:39:57 > 0:39:59You've already been shamed enough for one day.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Call yourself a man?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06He's twice the man you are!
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Let's go home.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11You're right.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16I can wait.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18I got all the time in the world!
0:40:29 > 0:40:32You slipped away early, Mrs Reeves.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Well, there's work to be done. What's Finch forgotten now?
0:40:35 > 0:40:39It's you I came to see. Neighbourly concern.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I'm sorry, Mrs Gulliver, you've lost me.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45You can't take enough care in your condition.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- I don't know what it is you've heard...- Enough...
0:40:50 > 0:40:53to know you're in the family way.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56You mind your business.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00- Coming here with your nasty tittle-tattle!- Brazen-faced airs!
0:41:00 > 0:41:04At least have the decency to hang your head in shame.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Get off this farm and you take your poison with you!
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Lax morals.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11They merit a loose tongue!

0:43:30 > 0:43:33You never even said goodbye.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35You'd made your choice.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37It was easier.
0:43:40 > 0:43:41We were too different.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43I was never good enough.
0:43:45 > 0:43:46But it doesn't matter now.
