0:02:41 > 0:02:45I brought three with me today.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, hi. Can I help you?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Will you buy them?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49That's how we make a living.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Except now my father's just died.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I don't think it's affected my brother and me as much as you might fear.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02OK, well, let's, uh...
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Well, this one's supposed to be pretty good.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14It's ideal if you're into polar stuff and tundra and that stuff.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16That was one of my father's specialities.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Shouldn't he, Horst? Horst?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33What?
0:05:33 > 0:05:34You know the rest.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Yes, and we don't want to hear more. - No, of course not.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So, Wilbur... >
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Yes, Horst.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42...pills this time, huh?
0:05:41 > 0:05:42And gas.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Oh my God. It could have killed you. - That was the general idea.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56BELL TINKLES
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Wilbur, wouldn't you like to share anything at all?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10You've got a hair sticking out your nostril.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Would, um...?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Would anyone like to, uh, say anything to Wilbur?
0:06:18 > 0:06:24Um, I'm sure we've all grown very very fond of Wilbur over the past few weeks, haven't we?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Wayne.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29BELL TINKLES
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Um...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I don't mind him.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32That's nice, Wayne. Ruby.
0:06:32 > 0:06:38BELL TINKLES
0:06:35 > 0:06:38You're one problem, Wayne - you're a crybaby.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42But what is really life-threatening around here is you, Wilbur.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45You're wasting our time, sponging off the system.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48That gas thing was insane.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51You put the lives of everyone in your building at risk.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55As some of us here know pretty well, right, Claire?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I told you - no-one got hurt.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It's quite right, Claire.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Why don't you just die
0:06:59 > 0:07:02and let someone else take your place?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Ooh. Thank you, Ruby.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Um, Wilbur, what do you think would happen,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12in a broad, um, sociological sense,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16if we all went around killing ourselves?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21There'd be no more group.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30You know, it gets more and more humiliating every time I survive.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Why did you crash in on me like that?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- How do you always stick your nose in?- You phoned!
0:07:36 > 0:07:40And you haven't let me finish what I was saying.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Harbour! Harbour, look, I know we can't stop your brother,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47but we don't feel he should be living on his own.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Is there any way you could move in with him for awhile?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52No way is he staying at my place.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Wilbur, from a purely professional point of view, you need all the support you can get right now.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I know this isn't strictly by the book, but you could stay with me.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06I've got a light, spacious one-bedroom flat
0:08:06 > 0:08:10just 15 minutes stroll from the underground.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I mean, I could make a fuss of you, and I do live practically 100% organically.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I've got a solarium above my bed.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20We're expected at a funeral. Nutter.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Moira, you do perform miracles here.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Is this where mother is buried?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38No, she's over there.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Over there?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Father wanted her to be able to see the shop.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Now if she leant forwards a little...
0:08:52 > 0:08:57She leant forwards a little? But while she was dead and buried?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Well, he wasn't feeling too well at the time.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Just lay those down.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- So now they're lying together. - It looks like a molehill. Come on!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Not with the flowers. Anyway, you don't get molehills that big.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17At least not in Scotland.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Still, it's a bit of a shame that he's dead, isn't it?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21He was crap towards end.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Now, you'd really treated him nicely, you did.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26He hated me.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29He was a happy as a penguin for weeks after you came by.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Otherwise he wouldn't have given you the bookshop, would he?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33He didn't give me it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Sure he did. Sure as naught - it was Dad's last request.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41He didn't make a last request. He just sat there dribbling.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I think you got it wrong.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Why does it say Harbour in the will, then?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48He must have mixed our names up.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53I'm sure he wanted you to have it. He said so several times.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53He couldn't talk!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I could tell by his eyes.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Hey.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17You warm enough?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17MURMURS
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Hi, Alice. Sorry you had to deal with this one.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I've just got the coffee cups left.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- There are more bin liners in the store cupboard.- Uh-huh.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Oh, Alice.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35You've missed a little bit here.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Where?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Just... Just here.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Oh.
0:10:42 > 0:10:48CLATTERING
0:10:44 > 0:10:48I was thinking about roasting a duck tomorrow.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55- Were you?- Remember the way Mother used to do it?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57No. >
0:10:58 > 0:11:02How she used to cut the orange slices so she could twist them
0:11:02 > 0:11:06and zigzag them all the way across the duck's back.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- GAS HISSES - Remember?- Not really.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'll just remove this, eh?
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Well, what if it fell - into the water?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26You need a toaster for that.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32PILLS RATTLE
0:11:32 > 0:11:39Now Father's gone, you can't help thinking about Mother, can you?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Yes, I can.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44I don't remember any of those things like you do.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44It's all those suicides.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Most people have some memories from when they were little.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51And you were nearly 5 when she died.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Do you want to borrow a pair of pyjamas?- No.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59A good pair of pyjamas is a nice thing to have.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03A lot of people appreciate that.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It was a no, Harbour.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08We're broke.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Father didn't leave anything - just the books.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19And this. Thanks(!)
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Shouldn't we just close down, then? - Well, it's up to you.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28If you think we should close down, we'll close down.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30That's what we'll do, then.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32DOOR SQUEAKS SHUT
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Mary.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Were there any books?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46One - in the operating theatre. You've saved nearly £4000 now.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Can we go to the Chinese restaurant, then?
0:12:49 > 0:12:54No, we can't afford it. We have to save it for a rainy day.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Nothing bad will ever happen to us.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01But if something does happen to me, you'll have to get by.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07You should see the people at the hospital and the terrible accidents. I found an ear on the floor again.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Can I read it before you sell it?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18No, I want to take it to the shop today.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I think you'll miss the shop if we close down.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Father and I really got it sorted in the last few weeks.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33< WILBUR MUNCHES
0:13:31 > 0:13:33One morning...
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- ..he even took my hand. - I'm going back to bed. - You've got to go to work.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I must have been sacked by now.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43No, it's OK. I phoned them yesterday.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47They said just turn up. You're going on an outing.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48THUD!
0:13:48 > 0:13:54- What's the white one called? - I don't know. They're all white. - Yes, but that one.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- It's a snow beast. - It looks more like weasel.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Maybe so, but it's a snow beast, all right?- Snow beast.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04When we catch the bus, can I hold you hand?
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- Fuck off!- All right.- Nancy boy.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Snow beasts do not think twice before they attack.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14They can kill a fully grown man in seconds.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19That may be possible, but one time Wilbur killed two at once.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23And some day, one day, the whole lot just commit suicide.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23But why?
0:14:23 > 0:14:29Nobody knows. Just go out into the water and drown. They probably don't even know why. Isn't it sad?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33BOYS: Yes.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33When you crouch, people can see your knickers.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Thanks(!)
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Do it again so we can see.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41No. Now we're going to the savannah. Come along!
0:14:41 > 0:14:47Will you do it when we get there?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47No, I don't think so. Perhaps. Oh, all right, then.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52They're mad about you. I reckon it must be your masculine approach.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56You coming?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'll be right there.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Hello.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Hello again.
0:15:22 > 0:15:28- Hello.- I'm sorry about the other day.- Do you still want to buy them? - Yeah, yeah, of course.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30That was kind to lock up the shop.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I was scared it had been silly of me and you couldn't get back in.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Oh, no. Don't worry about it. My brother smashed a window.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- Smashed a window?- I'd broken his door, so we had to get the builders in anyway.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46- Oh.- I did a deal with a very nice glazier - Menzies. Drives a Saab.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I think that's chewing gum.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Just in your hair.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Maybe when I fell asleep on the bus.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Shall I get rid of it?
0:16:01 > 0:16:06It's not very considerate of people leaving chewing gum on bus seats.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I was a bit tired, that's all.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Keep nodding off too.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12But it's not such a bad thing.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Don't you have a pair of scissors?
0:16:14 > 0:16:20No. We don't dare have anything sharp around. I've got a wee brother.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01Oh, we just bought it. It's brand new.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Couldn't you sleep?- I'll have a nap at the nursery later.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10You mustn't forget that roast duck.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16A girl in the nursery asked me to go to her place for supper.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16You could take the duck with you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21If you don't mind, Harbour, I'd rather not hear any more about that duck.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Aye, right, mustn't talk everything to death now.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28We've had a nice girl in the shop a couple of times lately.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I think she used to come when Father had it.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36The last time, she had chewing gum in her hair.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Sounds delicious (!)
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I've got some pretty good books from her too.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43After all, business can't come to a complete standstill.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It was, uh, Robert Perry's autobiography, Wuppertal by Night, and, um,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Rock Hudson - the Dream Continues, I think.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Sounds like the kind of girl who knows what she wants.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54She might be right up your street.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Her hair was really soft.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Why don't you grab her?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01You can't just grab them.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Of course you can.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Just gaze into their eyes, and they come walking straight over to you.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Is that all you do?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Mm.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14He hasn't bothered anyone in the group directly. Have you, Wilbur?
0:21:13 > 0:21:14That's irrelevant.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Ruby and Claire have drawn up a petition.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20He's not to come here again.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23There are private clinics if you think he's within reach of therapy.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26It can't be from our father. He often whistled at breakfast.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Do you have anything to add, Wilbur?
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Does Horst mean sausage in German?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40No. But you're close.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43PEOPLE CHATTER
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Nice collar, Wilbur.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Hello.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Have you read all these books?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Some of them.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Not that one, though. Is it any good?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's too scary for me.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- And the words are really long. > - Do you want me to find you another? - We're closed!
0:22:18 > 0:22:22I thought she was one of yours from the nursery.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I don't have anyone like that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Where are your parents?
0:22:25 > 0:22:26My mum's asleep.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30And my dad doesn't exist.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Mum.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42I'm sorry. I just wanted to sit down.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Don't get up. Sit down. It's fine. Fine. Sit down. It's OK.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Wilbur, this is Alice. You know, the one I told you about.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Uh, Alice, this is my wee brother.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Oh, but, of course, you've already met.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Yes.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I didn't know you had a little girl.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Would you like to stay for supper?
0:23:01 > 0:23:08We have a roast duck going spare, now that Wilbur can only eat soup.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Oh no. I'm late for work!
0:23:08 > 0:23:11What a shame. Roast duck's really good.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Yeah. No, Mary. Come on.
0:23:11 > 0:23:17No, we have to go.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17I can give you a lift, if that's OK.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17What the fuck are you on about?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19What would you give them a lift in? Idiot!
0:23:19 > 0:23:25Oh, Wilbur's kind of right. See, uh, we don't have a car.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Oh, we'll just walk.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34PANTING
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Sorry. Fell asleep again.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39That's all right. Just hurry up and get changed, OK?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Here ya are.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Yes, I've just got to get changed. Sorry. I had to help someone.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54I tell you what, Alice, just go home and get some sleep.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57You needn't bother coming back.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- But it's my job.- No! It's no good.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08You're late. You can't go round with a kid - it was different when she was a baby.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12I mean, it's not as if you're actually a good cleaner, is it? Pack your stuff and get out.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Mum.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Hm?
0:24:20 > 0:24:26It's odd that that old bookseller was so disgusting
0:24:26 > 0:24:27when he had two sons like them.
0:24:28 > 0:24:34I can't go there without books.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34The one in the collar is a bit of a nutcase.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37But the older one is worth getting to know.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Hm.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57You could sell the telephone books.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57No.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Hi.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Can I help you?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Oh. That's Czechoslovakia.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I haven't got any books with me.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I'll come down.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Now, if there's anything you want to borrow, then...
0:25:24 > 0:25:28I won't be getting any more, either, cos they sacked me.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31And the books were ones I found at the hospital.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36That was a nasty place to work, anyway.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yeah.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Maybe you should find yourself a husband.- Mm.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Yeah.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33- It's beautiful.- Oh, thank you. Look at that!
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Isn't it lovely?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38This is a wedding present for you, Mary.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- Do you remember when you were a wee boy, you used to go missing?- No.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I remember once we found you behind some boxes, and the last time, it was two days before you reappeared.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Where was Mother?- She was dead, I think.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Father couldn't make me go to school.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I sat there clutching that wee brown jacket you had.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Yeah, it was really nice and warm, but still very light.- It's a pencil case.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08It's got lots of little things in it - all different kinds of stuff.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Your presents are waiting at home.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13What have you got us?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Go on. Tell them.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16No. No. They're at home, and they're waiting for ya on your bed.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Look, it's a penguin!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23This can be Wilbur.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27She isn't used to getting presents.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- It was really nice of you to ask me. - It was Harbour.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37He asked if there was anyone from work who I'd like to invite.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37He seems lovely.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43I could take Mary for you, if you'd fancy having a night to yourselves.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Wilbur's a nursery nurse.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Oh. Does he live with you?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49No.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55He's been evicted by the Housing Association
0:27:55 > 0:27:57because he was careless with his gas.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59He's just staying until he finds another flat.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05- Well, in that case, I could just bring him along as well.- Wilbur?
0:28:05 > 0:28:11Yeah. He seems like the sort who just being with puts you in a really good mood.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Yeah? Yeah.
0:28:13 > 0:28:19But he's not exactly talkative.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19No, but I like that. It's sexy.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24You think Wilbur's sexy?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24< Oh, you bet he's sexy.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27He is drop-dead gorgeous.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32CHEERING
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Mrs North, I want to dance with you.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- I want to dance with you. - Me, Harbour. Me.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42OK, come on! Whoo!
0:28:45 > 0:28:50So, um, just what is waiting on the bed for them when they get back?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Shh, shh, shh.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52New duvets.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54New pillows. Three of each.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Made of this special down.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02I can't remember what brand it was.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Duck?
0:29:06 > 0:29:10CHEERING
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Goodbye, Alice!
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Bye!
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Goodnight, Mrs North. - Goodnight, Mr North.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20See you, Soph. Have a great evening. Thanks a lot.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- I'll get it, brother. See you later. - Thanks a lot, mate.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43OK, do you have any kids?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- No. I haven't.- Good.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52A boyfriend?
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Do you have a boyfriend?
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Oh, I don't know.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Maybe.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Hey. What was that?
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- Well, I just thought I saw some cream on it.- You just licked my ear.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Yeah, I just licked your ear.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17I would have brought a dog if I wanted my ear licked.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Get a grip of yourself. Freak!
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Can I have the bill, please?

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Oh my God.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29They're coming.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38Harbour, wrap this around his wrist.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38It's too late!
0:32:35 > 0:32:38No, no. Harbour. Harbour.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Put this around his wrist.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44HARBOUR SOBS
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Do it really tightly. Yes.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40One day he's going to succeed.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42How dare he?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49What does the psychologist say?
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Seems upset.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54Wilbur threw Brussels sprouts at him in the cafeteria.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02Well, what did your father used to think?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I tried to make sure he never heard.
0:34:02 > 0:34:09Worried him so much every time Wilbur wanted to kill himself. There's a lot of Mother in Wilbur.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11What, did...?
0:34:11 > 0:34:16Did she kill herself?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16No, no. No, it was something congenital.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20She spent most of the last two years of her life at the hospital.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Shall we make a start on the atlas shelf?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Did she die there?
0:34:27 > 0:34:32No, it was very cold the night she died. It was a really severe frost.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36And we'd been to see her at the hospital, and...
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Wilbur had just been given a wee sledge,
0:34:40 > 0:34:43and he insisted on being pulled the whole way.
0:34:43 > 0:34:49I think it's still in the cellar. Mary can have it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Did she die here, Harbour?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56We knew she wasn't allowed to come home while she was in treatment.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58But she couldn't help it.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01I don't think she could live without Wilbur.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03He really was lovable in those days.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06So she kept coming to the shop.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Usually father would have to carry her back again.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14They kept telling her she wasn't allowed to come home - getting out of bed could kill her.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16She was so frail.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26I always wondered how neither father nor I heard her knocking that night.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Wilbur was the only one who woke up.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35And he went down to the shop.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39He saw her knocking on the window. She was just in a hospital nightgown.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43And she must have been knocking for ages.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46But he wouldn't unlock the door.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48He didn't dare let her in,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52cos father had said that it would kill her to come home.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56All Wilbur did was to climb into my bed.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59And I thought that he'd had a nightmare, cos he often did.
0:35:59 > 0:36:06And in the morning, when we went out to clear the snow, Wilbur refused to come.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09And I found her there.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15I think you should ask him if he'll stay here with us.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Thank you.
0:36:22 > 0:36:27< Mr Macintyre. Please take a seat. I'll be right back in a moment.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29KNOCK ON DOOR
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Hi.
0:36:29 > 0:36:36I'm meant to remind patients to leave hospital vests and things like that behind when they're discharged.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- No offence. Keep the bandages. They're yours.- Thanks.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45I'm really sorry you can't come to the suicide group any more.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Especially now you've actually experienced being dead.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Nice tie.- Oh, it's vintage.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Is Harbour coming to pick you up?
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- No.- Isn't there, um, anything I can do for you?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Yeah. Come over here.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Would you mind licking my ear?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Either?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19This one. This one. Come on!
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Try again.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Try this one.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Yeah, OK.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53You could, um, lick my ear as well, if you like.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55All in good time, Moira.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Bye, Wilbur.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Don't say a word. I said I'm sorry.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Wilbur?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22I was wondering if we could have a little chat
0:38:22 > 0:38:26at some point.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Yeah.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- I do have a question I'd like to ask you.- Yes.- If you've got the time.- Yes, I have.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37Are you in any way related to the man they called Horst?
0:38:38 > 0:38:43I believe so, yes. Somewhere on my mother's side. Yes.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Yeah?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46In that case, I've won 75 quid.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Your liver count's still a bit high but we can do something about that.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Oh, good.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57But I'd like to do more tests to identify a suitable medicine.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01What's the matter with the one I already take?
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Could you sit down a moment?
0:39:01 > 0:39:07I'd rather not. Uh, it may be serious, but if so, you'll have to tell me another time.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10I'm very busy at the moment.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Hello. Hello, Harbour.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13I asked our senior psychologist to pop in,
0:39:13 > 0:39:16just to make sure he's kept in the picture.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17In the picture?
0:39:17 > 0:39:23Well, as to the best way to tell you about this.
0:39:23 > 0:39:29Oh, I know Horst perfectly well. My brother wants to kill himself.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Oh. Oh, fine.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Well, I'll let the two of you talk it over together, then.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36No, don't worry about it. Not now. Uh...
0:39:36 > 0:39:42We've begun renovating the shop - we sell books. Anyway, thanks. Thanks a lot.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Harbour.
0:39:45 > 0:39:52So what have you been discussing?
0:39:48 > 0:39:52We'd like to keep you in for a few days so we can have you scanned.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I can't accept that.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Well, you can't do it as an outpatient.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03No, thanks. I'd rather not. I prefer my own bed. My wife and I have brand new duvets.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Harbour.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Look, I don't have time, I tell ya!
0:40:06 > 0:40:10And there is no way I'm gonna be put in hospital!
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Wilbur is coming home today.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17I want to stay with him and my wife and my daughter, OK?!
0:40:21 > 0:40:26It's highly improbable for all of Kipling's books
0:40:26 > 0:40:29to be suddenly out of stock. Isn't Harbour ever around?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Yes, but I don't know where he is just now.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39You're home.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Do you know if we've got Captain Courageous?
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Um...
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Don't even try.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51That man is just so annoying.
0:40:52 > 0:40:59We've got a lot done.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59Hm?
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Um, we've reached the F's.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04MAN: Is Harbour here? >
0:41:02 > 0:41:04No, can I help you? >
0:41:04 > 0:41:09I've got some books to get rid of.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09I'm sorry, but we've got too many ourselves. We only sell now.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- Could your husband have a wee look at them?- My husband?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Could you have a look at these? - No, not really.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Uh, no, he's not my husband. - Your boyfriend or whatever.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21These are good books. You want to look?
0:41:21 > 0:41:27Oh yeah. The Man Brom Bristol and The Man From Bristol II.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32Never heard of them. Have you?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32It's sci-fi. It's a good ending.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- All right.- £1 each?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41CASH REGISTER DINGS
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Bye.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56It looks great...
0:41:57 > 0:41:59..from here.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Great.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10CLATTERING >
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Don't give her too much. She'll be sick.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16She's a child. She must love sugar.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21All right, well, you do it, Wilbur. I've never given a party. My hands are shaking.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Oh. Happy birthday.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Happy birthday.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Birthday girl, give me a hug.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37See? See what I made?
0:42:34 > 0:42:37It's lovely.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37There you go. Up here.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Do you think it looks like a burger?
0:42:38 > 0:42:40No.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46We always had a birthday cake when we were little. I made a posh one for Wilbur's 7th birthday.
0:42:46 > 0:42:51It was so huge, you could hardly see over it. We had those tall pink drinks with straws, Wilbur.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54That wasn't us. That was a Mickey Rooney film.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Drink your coffee, Mary. We have to go.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- How can we be sure all the children will come?- What?
0:43:00 > 0:43:04How can we be sure the children will come?
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Well, we can't be. Maybe they won't.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06No, they'll come.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Oh no. We forgot to buy whipped cream.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12I knew there was something. I knew it!
0:43:23 > 0:43:27THUD!
0:43:24 > 0:43:27HE INHALES SHARPLY
0:43:28 > 0:43:30THUD!
0:43:34 > 0:43:36(GASPS)
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Are you OK, sir?
0:43:39 > 0:43:42Are you OK? Hey, Mr North.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Happy birthday.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47Happy birthday, Mary.
0:43:47 > 0:43:53Hi. Happy birthday. By the way, you have a stain on your blouse.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57Where's Harbour?
0:43:55 > 0:43:57I don't know. He's on his way.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Hi. Happy birthday, Mary.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06What is it?
0:44:02 > 0:44:06Doesn't Fatima look lovely?
0:44:06 > 0:44:07Yes, really lovely.
0:44:07 > 0:44:13You got a stain on your blouse.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13Yes, I know.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13Happy birthday.
0:44:13 > 0:44:14Happy birthday.
0:44:14 > 0:44:20There's over 100 kilos of gold in her dress.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20100g.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24It was my grandmother's. Her name was Fatima too.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28Look at the embroidery. 24 carat gold.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33< COUGHING
0:44:33 > 0:44:38Has something happened to Wilbur?
0:44:35 > 0:44:38No, no, no. Here you go.
0:44:38 > 0:44:45Where's the cream?
0:44:40 > 0:44:45There weren't any more clean coffee cups. But this juice, this is good.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02Is there any cream anywhere?
0:45:02 > 0:45:07My wife needs some for whipping. Our little girl's nine today.
0:45:09 > 0:45:16All the children from school will be wanting whipped cream on the cake. They appreciate whipped cream.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21Listen, why don't we go down to my office?
0:45:21 > 0:45:23I think I've got a bottle of bourbon somewhere.
0:45:23 > 0:45:30Do you think alcohol's a good idea if my liver count's so high?
0:45:27 > 0:45:30It won't make any difference.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38If he doesn't come home now, you'll have to ask them to leave.
0:45:39 > 0:45:45I don't know what to say to them, Wilbur. We've never done this.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49And that tall girl, she keeps staring at my tights in a weird way. But they were the only ones I had.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56They're very nice.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02There you go.
0:46:02 > 0:46:08She's just jealous.
0:46:04 > 0:46:08The children are much bigger than I...
0:46:06 > 0:46:08Listen, listen...
0:46:10 > 0:46:15I've been to somewhere between 300 and 400 kiddies' birthday parties,
0:46:15 > 0:46:20and they're all identical. Children are always happy, someone always chucks up,
0:46:20 > 0:46:23but they're always OK in the end.
0:46:26 > 0:46:30Listen, I can see why you wouldn't want to stay here,
0:46:30 > 0:46:32but it is the wisest option.
0:46:32 > 0:46:36I should've drunk more of this stuff.
0:46:37 > 0:46:43Have you ever been to Tennessee?
0:46:39 > 0:46:43Actually, yes. I went to a jazz festival.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47Do you like jazz?
0:46:45 > 0:46:47No. Not any more.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52I used to. I used to play the trombone.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59Will you let them admit you? Please?
0:46:59 > 0:47:02You don't play any more?
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Nope.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06My dad wasn't in favour.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08He wanted me to get a decent job.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Yes.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13He must be proud of you.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15He committed suicide.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17Was he ill?
0:47:18 > 0:47:21He also had my dog put down.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24He made an appointment at the vet's.
0:47:24 > 0:47:29If only my dog had been ill, I would have been able to understand it.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32He thought I spent too much time with it,
0:47:32 > 0:47:37because it was always lying there, listening, when I played trombone.
0:47:38 > 0:47:43What, was his ears all, like, pointing up?
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Exactly. Yeah.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53Do you expect me to die?
0:47:57 > 0:47:58It's hard to tell.
0:47:58 > 0:48:03That's why we want to start treatment right away.
0:48:15 > 0:48:20That was a wrong thing to do, just having your dog put down like that.
0:48:19 > 0:48:20Yeah.
0:48:20 > 0:48:24I know a lot of dogs appreciate a good jazz album before they go to sleep.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Yeah.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29CHILDREN GIGGLE, CHATTER
0:48:31 > 0:48:34Go on, Wilbur. Please stand on your head.
0:48:33 > 0:48:34You must be joking. >
0:48:34 > 0:48:37What, do you not like children or something?
0:48:36 > 0:48:37No, I don't.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39What about Mary?
0:48:39 > 0:48:43Mary doesn't count.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43Please, Wilbur, will you stand on your head?
0:48:47 > 0:48:48OK.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Here goes.
0:49:01 > 0:49:02Wow!
0:49:02 > 0:49:05CHILDREN EXCLAIM
0:49:05 > 0:49:07CHILDREN APPLAUD
0:49:20 > 0:49:21Well, what the hell happened to you?
0:49:23 > 0:49:26Alice, I've got the cream. Don't worry.
0:49:29 > 0:49:34Don't you want a plate?
0:49:30 > 0:49:34Uh-uh.
0:49:31 > 0:49:34Do you not like children as well?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Sure I do.
0:49:36 > 0:49:41Will you stand on your head for us, then?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41You bet I will.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Now hold that for me.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53- HE RETCHES, CHILDREN EXCLAIM - Ugh! That's minging!
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Alice, what the hell have you put in the cake?
0:49:55 > 0:49:59Children, don't eat the cake. Don't eat Alice's cake.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Now, we'll scrape that off... I'm sorry.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06That's the last time you make a cake, Alice.
0:50:06 > 0:50:12That was the best birthday party they've ever been to.
0:50:11 > 0:50:12Was it?
0:50:13 > 0:50:20Lena says she's gonna make her dad puke up all over the place at her birthday party too.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23Go to sleep.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Don't be angry with Harbour, please.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31I won't.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34Goodnight.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53HARBOUR SNORES
0:51:01 > 0:51:03It wasn't too bright, was it?
0:51:03 > 0:51:08Well, he had no idea what he was doing.
0:51:08 > 0:51:13Yeah, that's because he's not used to drinking alcohol.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17Maybe he won't remember anything in the morning.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21It's a bit rough on Mary, though.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25It could have been worse. He was only trying to stand on his head.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27This one's still a bit dirty.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30Is it?
0:51:41 > 0:51:44I didn't like the cake either.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Sorry. Sorry.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04I'm sorry. Alice, it was nothing. I'm sorry!
0:52:07 > 0:52:09Did I seem very drunk?
0:52:11 > 0:52:13No.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16No harm was done.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19I still think I should phone all the parents.
0:52:20 > 0:52:25It will only make matters worse.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25I'm so sorry.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25You are a fucking moron.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27Wilbur.
0:52:30 > 0:52:34You know, when you were dead, what was it like?
0:52:34 > 0:52:38Harbour, you're hungover. You're not gonna die.
0:52:38 > 0:52:42Yeah, of course I'm not. I know that. But what was it like?
0:52:42 > 0:52:48How do you mean?
0:52:44 > 0:52:48Is there anything there? Is there some kind of huge white light?
0:52:48 > 0:52:51It's as dull as dishwater. There's nothing.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54Just blackness and utter silence.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56It's a bit like being in Wales.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01I see.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34< WATER RUNS
0:53:37 > 0:53:39Where's Mary and Harbour?
0:53:39 > 0:53:43They've gone to Fatima's to help wash her dress.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46Look, I'm sorry about yesterday.
0:53:46 > 0:53:51Yeah, so am I.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51I don't know what happened.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55It's a very stupid thing to do.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55Yeah.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58We've never given a birthday party before.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01No.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05You know, I've been thinking about this all day.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Maybe I should get a girlfriend.
0:54:12 > 0:54:18Yeah, that might be best.
0:54:14 > 0:54:18Well, that depends on who the fuck it is, of course.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44Is that cos it was then?
0:54:44 > 0:54:47Well, there were fewer cars.
0:54:47 > 0:54:52And the shop is still the same.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52Yeah, almost. Ever since I can remember.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55Even that old horrible disgusting doormat.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57Is that as old as you and Wilbur?
0:54:57 > 0:55:00Yeah, I think so. We could get rid of it.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02But they're expensive.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04Aye, so we'll keep it.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08It's not locked.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08Ah, Wilbur must be home.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11Alice?
0:55:17 > 0:55:19Wilbur?
0:55:20 > 0:55:22Alice?
0:55:23 > 0:55:25Wilbur?
0:55:28 > 0:55:34Fatima's mother was calm. It seems the whole family's named Fatima,
0:55:34 > 0:55:35except for her younger brother, Bob.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37It turns out he goes to Wilbur's nursery.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40And the dress is machine washable.
0:55:40 > 0:55:43< Hasn't he come home yet?
0:55:43 > 0:55:48WATER RUNS
0:55:44 > 0:55:48He went out again.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48What kind of mood was he in?
0:55:48 > 0:55:50Um, a good one, I think.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57Arms up.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10Shall we make an early night of it?
0:56:38 > 0:56:41I think I'd better just go straight to sleep.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44After all, I did have a few drinks with one of my friends yesterday.
0:56:44 > 0:56:47OK?
0:56:53 > 0:56:58Just here.
0:56:54 > 0:56:58Hey, why don't you drop by sometime?
0:56:55 > 0:56:58Yeah, that would be great.
0:56:59 > 0:57:00Hello?
0:57:00 > 0:57:04There's somebody here who would like to ask you a question. Um,...
0:57:04 > 0:57:07Harbour North, the doctor.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13Would you have a look at this medical text book?
0:57:13 > 0:57:16Don't look at the illustrations. They're rather macabre.
0:57:16 > 0:57:18The book's pretty old.
0:57:18 > 0:57:24- But even then, it's not that - 1958 MCMLVIII- Accepted.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27Well, there you go.
0:57:28 > 0:57:32See, even then, you can see that I'm no more ill
0:57:32 > 0:57:36than they were able to cure, even in those days.
0:57:53 > 0:57:57This is chronic pancreatitis. This is a completely different disease.
0:57:57 > 0:57:58Yeah.
0:58:02 > 0:58:06I'm sorry.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06It's OK. Uh...
0:58:08 > 0:58:12I'll take it back to the bookshop.
0:58:10 > 0:58:12Yeah, do that. It's a fine book.
0:58:12 > 0:58:14Fine book.
0:58:14 > 0:58:18How's your brother reacting to all this?
0:58:16 > 0:58:18Oh, he seems...he seems better.
0:58:18 > 0:58:23There was this girl at our wedding - Sophie. Sophie there.
0:58:23 > 0:58:28She's a really, really nice lass. Very natural.
0:58:28 > 0:58:31Yeah, I know Sophie.
0:58:33 > 0:58:36Do you want to be admitted?
0:58:34 > 0:58:36I have to tell everyone first.
0:58:36 > 0:58:39They might find it strange if I just disappear.
0:58:39 > 0:58:43Yeah, well, you probably ought to think about breaking the news to them soon.
0:58:43 > 0:58:49I think I'll wait until spring. His mood's always a bit brighter then.
0:58:47 > 0:58:49You don't have that long.
0:58:49 > 0:58:53No, I can see that's a...problem.
0:58:58 > 0:59:00Uh, I suppose I'll, uh...
0:59:02 > 0:59:06I'll just have to tell them the way it is.
0:59:28 > 0:59:30INDISTINCT CHATTER >
0:59:41 > 0:59:43I love him.
0:59:44 > 0:59:46I've never loved a man before.
0:59:46 > 0:59:49I'll never love anyone that way.
0:59:51 > 0:59:53I know.
0:59:57 > 0:59:59I know you won't.
1:00:03 > 1:00:05I'd rather die than hurt him.
1:00:07 > 1:00:13You might not think that's much coming from me, you know. Dying, I mean.
1:00:13 > 1:00:16But he is my brother.
1:00:19 > 1:00:22I don't want to lose either of you.
1:00:31 > 1:00:35Maybe I'll find that girlfriend, yeah?
1:00:36 > 1:00:38Yeah.
1:00:40 > 1:00:42Yeah.
1:00:50 > 1:00:52It's a classic.
1:00:52 > 1:00:54MAN CHATTERS
1:00:55 > 1:00:59I'm off to the nursery.
1:00:56 > 1:00:59Don't forget your lunch bag.
1:00:57 > 1:01:00Too late.
1:01:05 > 1:01:10I know what you're going through. I've got a niece who's retarded.
1:01:10 > 1:01:14She can't tell what a strain she is on the rest of us when she's not feeling well.
1:01:14 > 1:01:17You had a father to look after too, didn't ya?
1:01:17 > 1:01:23Unfortunately, it never bothered him if he was a burden on anyone.
1:01:21 > 1:01:23And your mother? Way back then.
1:01:23 > 1:01:28Aye, she was in terrible pain towards the end, of course, and...
1:01:28 > 1:01:33in those circumstances, you don't always think clearly.
1:01:33 > 1:01:37Well, I hadn't ridden a bike for years, but...
1:01:37 > 1:01:41well, suddenly I began to realise how beautiful it is on the lake.
1:01:41 > 1:01:43Huge, those swans.
1:01:45 > 1:01:49Now, I wasn't afraid of them. Not in the slightest.
1:01:47 > 1:01:49Hi, Wilbur. Hi.
1:01:49 > 1:01:51< Hello. SOME GROUP MEMBERS: Hello.
1:01:51 > 1:01:53Don't say hello to him.
1:01:53 > 1:01:55What you doing here, anyway?
1:01:55 > 1:02:00You've got absolutely no right to be here whatsoever.
1:01:58 > 1:02:00OK, I'll, um,...
1:02:00 > 1:02:02just see what I can do, all right?
1:02:03 > 1:02:07Is that OK, Horst?
1:02:05 > 1:02:07By all means.
1:02:08 > 1:02:12I think all I need now is the love of a good woman.
1:02:12 > 1:02:16You know, just a little one I could take care of or...
1:02:16 > 1:02:20or even a bigger one that would take care of me.
1:02:20 > 1:02:22Maybe a nurse.
1:02:24 > 1:02:29Yeah. That should get the old bus back on the road again.
1:02:29 > 1:02:31No metaphors, please.
1:02:31 > 1:02:33Sorry.
1:02:47 > 1:02:51Something like that?
1:02:49 > 1:02:51Mm.
1:02:51 > 1:02:53Nearly.
1:02:53 > 1:02:55Have another go.
1:03:00 > 1:03:02Oh.
1:03:02 > 1:03:04SHE SIGHS
1:03:04 > 1:03:07- Just try kissing me here. Licking it.- What?
1:03:07 > 1:03:09Just licking right here.
1:03:15 > 1:03:17Try some of this, Mary.
1:03:18 > 1:03:20Oh, whoops!
1:03:20 > 1:03:26Or whatever they say in China.
1:03:21 > 1:03:26It's one of those words which is the same in every language, like taxi.
1:03:26 > 1:03:30Bus.
1:03:27 > 1:03:30Bus?
1:03:30 > 1:03:32I don't think so.
1:03:35 > 1:03:39You sure you don't want any?
1:03:37 > 1:03:39No thanks. I only eat unpolished rice.
1:03:39 > 1:03:44The nutritional value of white rice is far too low,
1:03:44 > 1:03:47and I think we all know that deep down inside.
1:03:47 > 1:03:49ORIENTAL MUSIC PLAYS
1:03:49 > 1:03:53To hell with it! I might as well tell you who it was.
1:03:53 > 1:03:57It was our Danish senior psychologist, Horst.
1:03:57 > 1:04:04He was quite affected when I confided that I'd begun seeing Wilbur out of hours.
1:04:04 > 1:04:08I could tell very clearly that he felt torn.
1:04:10 > 1:04:13He's not the sort of man to wear his heart on his forehead,
1:04:13 > 1:04:17but I suppose I've got the professional expertise.
1:04:17 > 1:04:23I can see straight through a facade like that. Straight through.
1:04:21 > 1:04:23I'm sure you can.
1:04:25 > 1:04:27What's more...
1:04:27 > 1:04:32I felt it would be dishonest if I didn't tell him quite frankly
1:04:32 > 1:04:35that Wilbur possesses a sexuality
1:04:35 > 1:04:39that goes far beyond what the layman would call a normal range.
1:04:39 > 1:04:44Um, uh, well, how do you mean?
1:04:42 > 1:04:44What about?
1:04:44 > 1:04:48The, uh, sexuality bit.
1:04:48 > 1:04:50Oh, that.
1:04:50 > 1:04:53Christ, well...
1:04:53 > 1:04:56I mean, we could go on and on.
1:04:58 > 1:05:03Wilbur gets to me in places that I had no idea existed,
1:05:03 > 1:05:05even as a nurse.
1:05:05 > 1:05:11I'm pretty intuitive myself. I'm sure you've sensed that but...
1:05:11 > 1:05:16Wilbur is a rhino...
1:05:16 > 1:05:17between the sheets.
1:05:17 > 1:05:19Excuse my Chinese.
1:05:21 > 1:05:23How lovely for you both.
1:05:23 > 1:05:27I wouldn't put any more of that in my mouth, if I were you.
1:05:27 > 1:05:29They use monosodium glutamate
1:05:29 > 1:05:33and there's a lot of indications it's not just allogenic,
1:05:33 > 1:05:35but it also weakens your immune defence system.
1:05:35 > 1:05:38Are you a cook?
1:05:36 > 1:05:38I'm a nurse.
1:05:38 > 1:05:43But I am taking courses in what is erroneously referred to as alternative medicine.
1:05:43 > 1:05:46Don't we have something on that in the shop?
1:05:46 > 1:05:50Uh, I don't know. Do we, Wilbur?
1:05:48 > 1:05:50You're asking me?
1:05:50 > 1:05:57If you're having traditional treatment, you have to be very wary of that kind of food.
1:05:57 > 1:06:04You know, you can help your husband by taking such matters seriously.
1:06:01 > 1:06:04What?
1:06:04 > 1:06:07You know, living healthily, if he's gonna have chemotherapy.
1:06:07 > 1:06:11I'm not saying you should all change your diets, but you could be supportive.
1:06:11 > 1:06:15Chemotherapy?
1:06:13 > 1:06:15< I know, it's idiotic.
1:06:15 > 1:06:19There's no scientifically proven benefits with pancreas cancer.
1:06:19 > 1:06:23I mean, you're all taking it really well.
1:06:25 > 1:06:27Pancreatic cancer?
1:06:30 > 1:06:33All right! Anybody wanting any pudding here tonight?
1:06:33 > 1:06:38Um, no. No, not for me. Thank you.
1:06:38 > 1:06:39Nor me.
1:06:40 > 1:06:44I don't want any either.
1:06:42 > 1:06:44Hang on, it's included in the four-season menu anyway.
1:06:46 > 1:06:52Uh, the deep-fried banana sounds good. I'll have that.
1:06:50 > 1:06:52< Banana.
1:06:52 > 1:06:54Wilbur?
1:06:54 > 1:06:57I'll have some of those mandarin things that...
1:06:57 > 1:07:02Wee mandarins, aye.
1:06:59 > 1:07:02Mandarins. And ice cream for my daughter.
1:07:02 > 1:07:07< There'll be ice cream, aye.
1:07:04 > 1:07:07I'll have the deep-fried banana too, please.
1:07:07 > 1:07:09- A really mushy one. - < Really mushy.
1:07:09 > 1:07:13- She'll have hers to go. - < No problem, sir.

1:08:02 > 1:08:07How dare you? Do you think we're complete idiots?
1:08:06 > 1:08:07Of course not.
1:08:07 > 1:08:09You just can't do that.
1:08:09 > 1:08:11You can't just waltz in here
1:08:11 > 1:08:14and not bother to tell us you're terminally ill!
1:08:14 > 1:08:19You can't do that, Harbour! What about Mary? You're her father now.
1:08:19 > 1:08:23What do you take us for? Didn't you think we might want to help you?!
1:08:23 > 1:08:26TV VOLUME INCREASES
1:08:26 > 1:08:29Of course it is, you stupid man! Of course it is!
1:08:29 > 1:08:33And you know it isn't just up to you. It's up to the both of us.
1:08:33 > 1:08:37You have to have treatment! You stupid man!
1:08:37 > 1:08:42Shall we watch something else?
1:08:40 > 1:08:42No, I'm going to bed.
1:08:47 > 1:08:51We're just popping over to the hospital.
1:08:50 > 1:08:51Now?
1:08:51 > 1:08:55Well, that's a pretty good programme.
1:08:53 > 1:08:55Will you look after Mary?
1:08:55 > 1:08:57Yeah.
1:09:06 > 1:09:09Alice, please, you should go home to Wilbur.
1:09:09 > 1:09:13It will be a real mess if he goes and kills himself.
1:09:13 > 1:09:20If he's afraid I'm gonna have to go through what Mum went through.
1:09:20 > 1:09:26- I'm staying with you. - But it's a men's ward.- Come on.
1:09:35 > 1:09:37Come here.

1:09:50 > 1:09:53- Are you going to have a bath?- Um...

1:10:50 > 1:10:53SHOUTING COMES FROM OUTSIDE
1:10:59 > 1:11:03- BOY: Don't go!- I have to look after my brother.- You go, I'll go.
1:11:03 > 1:11:07Take us with you, Wilbur! We're not bloody staying in this nursery without you.
1:11:07 > 1:11:12You must leave Wilbur alone. It's not his fault he's got to leave.
1:11:10 > 1:11:12Are they sending you to the front?
1:11:12 > 1:11:15If only General was looking for an extra helping hand.
1:11:15 > 1:11:19Wilbur's brother's in hospital.
1:11:17 > 1:11:19Is he gonna have both legs cut off?
1:11:19 > 1:11:22It won't be easy with all those phantom pains.
1:11:22 > 1:11:25It's often the best who are the first to die.
1:11:25 > 1:11:27Wilbur, we're coming to live with you.
1:11:27 > 1:11:30- Please leave Wilbur alone, won't you?- Put a sock in it!
1:11:30 > 1:11:34Sentimental crap is the last thing Wilbur needs.
1:11:34 > 1:11:38- What did you have for breakfast this morning?- Snowballs. Why?
1:11:38 > 1:11:42Look, come and see me at the shop when you can read. Now scram!
1:11:42 > 1:11:44BOYS GIGGLE
1:11:44 > 1:11:49It's gonna be hard to find a replacement who's as lousy with kids as you are.
1:11:51 > 1:11:53Goodbye!
1:11:53 > 1:11:56They don't make them like you any more.
1:11:58 > 1:12:00Hi, Mum.
1:12:03 > 1:12:05There's coffee in the pot.
1:12:12 > 1:12:15Why you looking like that?
1:12:13 > 1:12:15I'm not.
1:12:15 > 1:12:17When is Harbour coming home?
1:12:20 > 1:12:23- I don't know.- Will he have to go to the surgical ward?
1:12:23 > 1:12:27No, not there. He's on medicine.
1:12:31 > 1:12:35If he doesn't come home soon, I don't think we'll be able to keep the shop.
1:12:39 > 1:12:41There's nothing you can do, Mary.
1:12:44 > 1:12:46Is this the rainy day?
1:12:46 > 1:12:52Yes, it is.
1:12:48 > 1:12:52Is this the worst that could happen?
1:12:51 > 1:12:52No.
1:12:52 > 1:12:59The worst that could happen would be if you were the one who was ill.
1:12:57 > 1:12:59Or Wilbur.
1:12:59 > 1:13:03I'd like to spend the money on the shop.
1:13:04 > 1:13:09Well, you have got £4,000, but I'm not sure.
1:13:09 > 1:13:13< I want to stay here. I don't want to go anywhere else.
1:13:13 > 1:13:16If we give the money to Harbour, we can stay here.
1:13:16 > 1:13:19- I don't think he'd accept it, Mary. - Harbour's like a father to me.
1:13:19 > 1:13:24- Where did you read that? - Somewhere in the bookshop. He's my safe secured haven.
1:13:24 > 1:13:29I'm a little shit in the night, and he's my lighthouse.
1:13:29 > 1:13:32You're a ship, Mary. I think it was a p.
1:13:32 > 1:13:35Maybe. But...
1:13:35 > 1:13:38SHE SNIFFS
1:14:48 > 1:14:50Are you missing your girlfriend?
1:14:53 > 1:14:55I'd be lying if I said I was.
1:14:59 > 1:15:04Shouldn't you be getting some sleep?
1:15:02 > 1:15:04Yeah.
1:15:09 > 1:15:12Can I have a glass of water?
1:15:12 > 1:15:15Yeah.
1:15:17 > 1:15:19Come on.
1:15:19 > 1:15:25Did you ask Harbour if he'd take my money?
1:15:22 > 1:15:25Yes. He can't accept it.
1:15:30 > 1:15:32- Can I sleep in your room tonight? - Yeah, come on.
1:15:32 > 1:15:38Wilbur, can you come too? You can sleep on Harbour's side.
1:15:38 > 1:15:43- I'm not going to bed now.- Please, or I won't be able to sleep at all.
1:15:45 > 1:15:48OK... I'll be right there.
1:16:23 > 1:16:28Harbour, um... can we talk about something?
1:16:28 > 1:16:33- Alice, they can't tell. They're doing their best.- No, it's not that.
1:16:33 > 1:16:39I mean, that young one said I was responding better to treatment than they'd expected,
1:16:39 > 1:16:42but they're not allowed to say much more than that.
1:16:43 > 1:16:47- Did Wilbur come to see you yesterday?- Oh, aye.
1:16:47 > 1:16:49Aye, with a huge box of chocolates.
1:16:49 > 1:16:51They get bigger and bigger each time.
1:16:51 > 1:16:54The whole ward has put on weight.
1:16:55 > 1:16:59- Let's just sit down a minute.- Yeah. - OK.
1:17:04 > 1:17:06HE GROANS SOFTLY
1:17:08 > 1:17:14That's better... Things all right at home?
1:17:14 > 1:17:16Yeah.
1:17:16 > 1:17:19We miss you.
1:17:19 > 1:17:23Do you think you could keep a wee bit of an eye on Wilbur?
1:17:23 > 1:17:27You have to know him well to tell he's in a state.
1:17:27 > 1:17:31He's...he's been acting strange lately.
1:17:31 > 1:17:34How are you getting on at home? >
1:17:34 > 1:17:37Fine.
1:17:37 > 1:17:43- He's read the complete works of Enid Blyton aloud to Mary. - Oh. Poor child!
1:17:47 > 1:17:52- Do you promise me you'll keep an eye on him?- Yes.
1:18:09 > 1:18:12Hey! Where are you going?
1:18:15 > 1:18:17Hey!

1:20:16 > 1:20:20- How's Harbour? - Not as cold as you are.
1:20:20 > 1:20:24Good. I'll go and see him tomorrow.
1:20:26 > 1:20:29Are you gonna move out if he comes home?
1:20:29 > 1:20:31Yeah.
1:20:36 > 1:20:38I'm going to bed now.
1:20:43 > 1:20:45Are you?
1:20:58 > 1:21:01- Goodnight.- Goodnight.
1:21:13 > 1:21:18- You're looking quite perky. - I'm doing very nicely.
1:21:19 > 1:21:22We got those books sorted, Harbour.
1:21:22 > 1:21:25You won't recognise the place when you come home.
1:21:25 > 1:21:30You make sure you leave a wee bit of time for yourselves now and then.
1:21:39 > 1:21:44- Oh, if you don't mind, I ought to have a wee bit of a nap.- Yeah.- Yeah.
1:21:44 > 1:21:46That bloody medicine makes you so tired.
1:21:46 > 1:21:50- We'll just come back later. Or I will and Wilbur.- Okey-dokey.
1:21:50 > 1:21:52- Right?- I was just sneaking out.
1:21:53 > 1:21:55Bye-bye.
1:21:55 > 1:21:58- Thanks for coming.- Yeah.
1:22:02 > 1:22:04Bye, Wilbur.
1:22:06 > 1:22:08Hi.
1:22:08 > 1:22:12Did you feel like sharing anything?
1:22:12 > 1:22:15- Well, you can have my pudding if you want.- Oh.
1:22:15 > 1:22:20No, I don't eat puddings. Goes straight to my buttocks.
1:22:20 > 1:22:24Still trying to attract the right man to pop the question.
1:22:24 > 1:22:26You'll find someone.
1:22:26 > 1:22:30What you have to do, you have to look straight in their eyes,
1:22:30 > 1:22:33then, I don't know, they'll do the rest.
1:22:33 > 1:22:38- Really?- Yeah, it works sometimes. Give it a whirl.- Thanks.
1:22:40 > 1:22:44I don't know. Maybe I've been too focused on my work or something.
1:22:44 > 1:22:49They've got to have something to hold on to, you know, to believe in, and I...
1:22:49 > 1:22:55I mean, it's different with the seriousness of your condition.
1:22:55 > 1:22:57I know the outlook is very bleak.
1:22:57 > 1:23:01It must be terrible for you and your family. It's horrific.
1:23:01 > 1:23:07It really is horrific. If I was in your position, I don't know if I'd have the bravery to cope.
1:23:10 > 1:23:14Do you want a tea cake?
1:23:11 > 1:23:13Oh, I'd love one.
1:23:16 > 1:23:21- There you go.- Thank you. - It won't go to your buttocks.
1:23:21 > 1:23:24Thank you... Mmm!
1:23:25 > 1:23:28Maybe it will go to my chest.
1:23:29 > 1:23:31DOOR OPENS >
1:23:31 > 1:23:36- All right.- He's just sleeping, isn't he?- Yes.
1:23:36 > 1:23:38Come over and say hello.
1:23:38 > 1:23:41What are all those things for?
1:23:41 > 1:23:44They're there to help him get better.
1:23:44 > 1:23:47Mary, come over and say hello. Come on.
1:23:48 > 1:23:50VENTILATOR PUFFS
1:23:51 > 1:23:54- Hello.- Hi.
1:23:54 > 1:23:57Harbour, you look like a Hoover.
1:23:58 > 1:24:01- You flirting with me?- No.
1:24:04 > 1:24:07How's the partner? >
1:24:06 > 1:24:07Partner?
1:24:07 > 1:24:12If you invest in the shop, that makes you a partner.
1:24:13 > 1:24:15In that case, I think we should get a new doormat.
1:24:17 > 1:24:22Ah, we'll have to discuss that at the general assembly.
1:24:29 > 1:24:31Is he dying?
1:24:37 > 1:24:41- Does he know?- Yes. Yes.
1:24:41 > 1:24:42Wilbur?
1:24:44 > 1:24:47I think he'll come over later, Harbour.
1:24:50 > 1:24:55We were discussing at the morning conference whether you could come home for a visit.
1:24:55 > 1:24:58Today?

1:31:14 > 1:31:16Maybe he's finally settled in.
1:31:18 > 1:31:21I wish Father could have seen it.
1:31:21 > 1:31:26Wilbur didn't come by very often during the last days, but...
1:31:26 > 1:31:29sometimes Father thought I was him.
1:31:30 > 1:31:32He was so fond of Wilbur.
1:31:33 > 1:31:35So was mother.
1:31:38 > 1:31:40About two days before he died...
1:31:42 > 1:31:47he felt a wee bit better, and when I came in that morning...
1:31:48 > 1:31:52he suddenly grabbed my hand and he opened his eyes,
1:31:52 > 1:31:54and he said, "Wilbur."
1:31:56 > 1:31:58So I was Wilbur.
1:32:01 > 1:32:03He thought you were Wilbur?
1:32:05 > 1:32:09My father always loved Wilbur very much.
1:32:12 > 1:32:16I better go outside and wait for that taxi.
1:32:17 > 1:32:19I expect he's got a family to go to as well.
1:32:21 > 1:32:23It's OK.
1:32:24 > 1:32:27I'm sure Wilbur will see me out.
