0:14:55 > 0:14:57What do you mean "help"?

0:14:57 > 0:15:02- That wasn't too difficult, was it? - Then, why couldn't you do it?

0:15:14 > 0:15:18I was talking to the lady! If you need a witness to that assault...

0:15:18 > 0:15:22What are you talking about? It wasn't an assault, it was an accident.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38It was an accident, not an assault!

0:15:38 > 0:15:41And you two are old enough to know the difference.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43If you don't get outta here, there will be an assault.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04'but she understands if you're too busy.'

0:18:06 > 0:18:10'Joe, it's been such a shock to her. He wasn't even ill.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13'There was no warning that this was coming.'

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Since Ritchie started casting seriously,

0:21:23 > 0:21:26he realises your character isn't going the way he wants.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30You know how things are. You start casting, things change,

0:21:30 > 0:21:32- dynamics change... - Dynamics?

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Yeah. You know, dynamics. Dynamics between characters.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59You keep 34 million for yourself

0:21:59 > 0:22:01and you spend 1 million on a picture.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05Only don't spend it on this one... ..What the fuck are you doing?!

0:22:08 > 0:22:12- Why didn't you tell me this on the phone?!- I...!

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Goddammit, Joe, when did you become such an asshole?!

0:22:15 > 0:22:19I thought if you met Ritchie, he might give you another part.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Have you read the script? - Of course.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Have you read the script? - Yes.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27Well, if you had, you'd know there are only four characters,

0:22:27 > 0:22:29three of whom are women!

0:22:29 > 0:22:33So which other fucking part do you think I might be right for?!

0:22:33 > 0:22:36No other fuckin' part!

0:22:36 > 0:22:40I don't think there's any part in any script for you, anywhere!

0:22:40 > 0:22:43No-one's interested any more. You know why they're not interested?

0:22:43 > 0:22:47Because you're not interested any more.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50You have squandered every fuckin' opportunity

0:22:50 > 0:22:53you've ever been given! Take a look in the mirror

0:22:58 > 0:23:01so I'm gonna give it to you straight. It...is...over.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05You...are...over. People are tired of your pathetic behaviour.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45So they had to give me one of them enemas.

0:33:45 > 0:33:49Well, I was blocked up like an old crypt.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52And do you know what they found?

0:33:52 > 0:33:54A plastic toy animal.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Probably been stuck in me bowels for over 20 years.- Oh, dear!

0:33:57 > 0:34:00I must have eaten it!

0:34:00 > 0:34:04But, you know, I can't taste a thing, not since I hit my head.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14I always wonder what old people looked like when they were young.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19It just makes me sad...

0:34:20 > 0:34:23..cos it's all gone, and you think, "How cruel."

0:34:25 > 0:34:28I suppose if you really concentrated...

0:34:29 > 0:34:33..you might be able to imagine the old people you know as young.

0:34:33 > 0:34:36But it's really hard,

0:34:36 > 0:34:41cos all I can see is that they're old, ill, ugly...

0:34:41 > 0:34:43and their life's over.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56When you watch an old person sleeping...

0:34:59 > 0:35:02..especially if they're very old...

0:35:06 > 0:35:09..you think, "Will they ever wake up again?"

0:35:09 > 0:35:13Then they wake up very suddenly.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19One second, they're sleeping and lifeless...

0:35:20 > 0:35:24..the next second, they're turning on the telly for the news.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28"Have I missed the news?"

0:35:28 > 0:35:30"Have I missed the news?"

0:35:39 > 0:35:42When does a person stop keeping up?

0:35:56 > 0:35:59Why don't you make a move, Joe?

0:36:02 > 0:36:04What do you mean?

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Don't you fancy me?

0:36:18 > 0:36:20You can touch if you like.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24My mum's next door.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29She'll be busy.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34She won't be in.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40BREATHES HARD

0:36:57 > 0:36:59or do I have to chop 'em all meself?

0:36:59 > 0:37:02Yeah, I'm coming. We were just talking.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21See you later, Joe.

0:37:28 > 0:37:32I hate holidays as much as sport, and that's saying something.

0:37:32 > 0:37:37I'm gonna have to go, Grace. I might come by later.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Bye! - Bye, then.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46Well, I think this is ready for pouring.

0:46:05 > 0:46:11It's about...Jean Genet. He's a French writer.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14See, Jean Genie, it's just a clever wordplay.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17"He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition."

0:46:17 > 0:46:19That means he's selling drugs.

0:46:19 > 0:46:21"The Jean Genie lives on his back." He's a poof.

0:46:21 > 0:46:25"The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks." He loves cocaine.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27- What? - He loves chimney stacks.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29- What goes up chimneys? - Smoke.

0:46:29 > 0:46:32- And what makes smoke? - Coal.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35Yeah. And coke.

0:46:35 > 0:46:40"He's walking on Snow White." It means he's walking on cocaine.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43- How do you know that's what he means? - I read it in NME.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47Boots chucked his last girlfriend,

0:46:47 > 0:46:50because she couldn't sit through a whole side of a Bowie album.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53- He likes Bowie? - He loves Bowie.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57Boots is a nose-picker, the kind of person

0:46:57 > 0:47:01who wipes his hand under the seat if there isn't a tissue handy.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03Or even if there is.

0:47:03 > 0:47:07- How do you know that? - I'm a good judge of character.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11I'm not saying I mind... I'm just saying I know.

0:53:01 > 0:53:05Hey, Joe, remember when we used to go fishing with your dad?

0:53:06 > 0:53:09He snared hundreds of pikes, Joe's dad. Didn't even use a rod.

0:53:09 > 0:53:13He used, like, this old leather bootlace.

0:53:13 > 0:53:15He'd see a pike laying in the river bed

0:53:15 > 0:53:18and he'd take this old lace and make it into a loop.

0:53:18 > 0:53:22He'd hang the loop from a pole and gradually, gradually

0:53:22 > 0:53:27just lower it down in front of him. He caught hundreds like that.

0:53:50 > 0:53:53He realised when he was watching the wrestling on the telly

0:53:53 > 0:53:57and he got an erection. ..Hey, Erich Conrad's a poof!

1:12:49 > 1:12:52- What happened? - Go take care of Mrs Rogers.

1:12:52 > 1:12:54- What happened? - Just do what I say!

1:13:33 > 1:13:36Who will tell Jack?

1:13:37 > 1:13:40He already knows. The police phoned him at work.

1:13:42 > 1:13:44He'll blame me.

1:13:45 > 1:13:48He won't blame you. It's not your fault.

1:13:48 > 1:13:51He will. He'll blame me.

1:13:52 > 1:13:55He thinks I never loved her.

1:13:56 > 1:13:59I'm sure he doesn't think that.

1:14:01 > 1:14:03She never liked me...

1:14:06 > 1:14:08..not since the day she was born.

1:14:11 > 1:14:14She cried every time I held her.

1:14:14 > 1:14:18- Evelyn, don't do this to yourself. - It's true.

1:14:18 > 1:14:21I tried, I...I really did,

1:14:21 > 1:14:26but...it was almost a physical thing.

1:14:30 > 1:14:34I always envied the way your kids were with you.

1:14:35 > 1:14:39Of course Jane loved you... it's just kids are strange.

1:14:39 > 1:14:42They have funny ways of showing love sometimes.

1:14:46 > 1:14:48Can you go now?

1:14:49 > 1:14:53- Are you sure? I... - I wanna be by myself.

1:14:57 > 1:15:00- If you're sure. I just... - Go.

1:15:02 > 1:15:04Please.

1:15:09 > 1:15:14If you want anything... anything at all...

1:15:24 > 1:15:28I want my baby!

1:15:29 > 1:15:32WAILS

1:16:26 > 1:16:30Bodies used to be kept in the house for 12 days.

1:16:30 > 1:16:33Everyone kept the body at home for as long as they could.

1:16:33 > 1:16:36They didn't dare part with it, you see.

1:16:36 > 1:16:39Now you can't get rid of it quick enough. You see,

1:16:39 > 1:16:43they were afraid the corpse might still be alive.

1:16:43 > 1:16:46That was the real reason for hanging on to it.

1:16:46 > 1:16:50People now have a...postmortem, glory be,

1:16:50 > 1:16:52and it's all settled in a minute.

1:16:52 > 1:16:58But years ago, there were some folk who got buried alive.

1:16:58 > 1:17:01- Have you seen Jesse anywhere? - Out on the porch.

1:17:01 > 1:17:04And Joe, is he ready?

1:17:05 > 1:17:07Joe? Joe?

1:17:07 > 1:17:10People used to leave an instruction in their will

1:17:10 > 1:17:14to have a vein cut, just to be on the safe side.

1:17:15 > 1:17:17Come on, Joe. We've gotta be there in ten minutes.

1:17:17 > 1:17:23- We can't keep them waiting.- You go on. I'll be there in a minute.

1:17:23 > 1:17:27No, you come with us now. I don't want you to be late.

1:17:29 > 1:17:32I don't know why they're having a funeral -

1:17:32 > 1:17:34there's no body in the coffin.

1:17:34 > 1:17:37It's important to say goodbye. It's a symbol.

1:17:37 > 1:17:41- Now, come on.- I'm not ready! You go! I'll be there in a minute!

1:17:43 > 1:17:46This isn't about you, Joe.

1:17:47 > 1:17:50This is about Jack and Evelyn...

1:17:51 > 1:17:54..and the terrible loss they've suffered.

1:17:56 > 1:17:58Please.

1:17:59 > 1:18:01Please don't let them down.

1:18:07 > 1:18:09SOBS

1:21:41 > 1:21:43RINGS BELL

1:22:04 > 1:22:07Oh, my God, it's you!

1:22:16 > 1:22:18Where's Peggy?

1:22:38 > 1:22:41You've been late your whole life, Joe.

1:22:41 > 1:22:45I'm sure Ruth'll be touched that you even turned up.

1:22:45 > 1:22:47I just can't believe I missed it.

1:22:47 > 1:22:49I can't believe you're here at all.

1:22:49 > 1:22:54It was a lovely service. And such a turn-out.

1:22:54 > 1:22:57They couldn't get everyone in the church.

1:22:57 > 1:23:01You should've seen the flowers. More than Lady Di.

1:23:01 > 1:23:06Poor Ruth. She saw it happen. Dropped down dead in front of her.

1:23:06 > 1:23:08One minute chatting away happily,

1:23:08 > 1:23:11the next thing she knew he was dead on the ground.

1:23:11 > 1:23:15- Terrible. They said it was an aneurysm. - SIGHS

1:23:15 > 1:23:18Left four kids to bring up on her own.

1:23:18 > 1:23:22They're hardly kids. Joe must be 15 now.

1:23:22 > 1:23:25Good God, is he really? Seems like yesterday.

1:23:25 > 1:23:29Luke, who's 14, Max, who's 12,

1:23:29 > 1:23:33and then there's a lovely girl, Angelica, she must be ten.

1:23:35 > 1:23:37Boots was a wonderful father.

1:23:41 > 1:23:46Hopeless with money, though. In hock up to his eyeballs.

1:23:48 > 1:23:52I reckon Ruth will lose the house and the land.

1:23:52 > 1:23:57She had no idea how bad things were. Silly man hid it all from her.

1:23:57 > 1:24:00She really is in serious trouble.

1:24:02 > 1:24:04Thank you.

1:24:07 > 1:24:10- Would you like some cake, Joe? - Mm. Thanks.

1:24:22 > 1:24:24SIGHS

1:24:28 > 1:24:31So what do you think of Graceland, Joe?

1:24:34 > 1:24:38- It's all right, isn't it? - Thanks to you, Joe.

1:24:41 > 1:24:45- I bet Elvis was never as cosy. - CHUCKLES

1:24:45 > 1:24:47ALL CHUCKLE

1:25:10 > 1:25:12This is my room.

1:25:15 > 1:25:17This is Peggy's.

1:25:17 > 1:25:21It took me a while to get used to sleeping in my own room,

1:25:21 > 1:25:25but, I must say, I...I quite like it now.

1:25:27 > 1:25:29This is yours.

1:25:31 > 1:25:34I didn't like to throw anything away.

1:25:41 > 1:25:43Good night, dear.

1:26:32 > 1:26:34BIRDSONG

1:26:39 > 1:26:45- Wakey-wakey!- Fucking hell. - Morning.- Hi, Jesse.

1:26:45 > 1:26:48- Oi, bear's breath! - GROANS SLEEPILY

1:26:48 > 1:26:52- So, what are you doing here? - It's nice to see you too.

1:26:52 > 1:26:56Well, it's quite a surprise. There you are.

1:26:56 > 1:26:58SIGHS

1:26:58 > 1:27:00I'm here for the funeral.

1:27:00 > 1:27:03- Oh, if we'd known, we could've put him on ice.- Ha-ha.

1:27:03 > 1:27:06Don't feel bad. Ruth'll be glad you came.

1:27:06 > 1:27:10- At least, I think she will. - You think she will?

1:27:11 > 1:27:14Get yourself ready. I'll take you over to see her.

1:27:17 > 1:27:21- You think she will? - It's been a long time.

1:27:22 > 1:27:27- It's been a lifetime. - Welcome home, Joe.

1:27:56 > 1:28:00Look, erm...I, erm, I feel really weird about this,

1:28:00 > 1:28:04so why don't you go in first and, erm, tell her that I'm here?

1:28:04 > 1:28:07I mean, she might not wanna see me.

1:28:07 > 1:28:11- She knows you're here, I've told her already.- And what did she say?

1:28:11 > 1:28:14- Not very much. - She must have said something.

1:28:14 > 1:28:16What do you think she's gonna say?

1:28:16 > 1:28:19You haven't seen her for 25 years. Do you think she's gonna

1:28:19 > 1:28:22get down on her knees and thank God you're back?

1:28:22 > 1:28:25She just lost her husband, the man she's loved all her life. Jeez!

1:28:25 > 1:28:29This might come as a surprise, but she's not thinking about you.

1:28:29 > 1:28:31Christ!

1:28:58 > 1:29:00INAUDIBLE

1:29:30 > 1:29:34She's at the cemetery. She's collecting the sympathy cards.

1:29:54 > 1:29:57When I was a child, I used to think that being brave

1:29:57 > 1:30:00meant that you had to take action.

1:30:00 > 1:30:03That to have a dream or get forward in life, you needed courage.

1:30:08 > 1:30:11But the only thing you need courage for is for standing still.

1:30:37 > 1:30:40She's over there.

1:30:48 > 1:30:51Well, come on, then. What are you waiting for?

1:30:56 > 1:30:59- Aren't you coming? - No, I'll be over here.

1:31:50 > 1:31:54- Hello, Joe. - Hello, Ruth.

1:31:55 > 1:31:57I came for the funeral.

1:31:59 > 1:32:02You're a bit late.

1:32:02 > 1:32:08Still, it's reassuring to know that...some things never change.

1:32:12 > 1:32:17I...I heard it was wonderful. I mean...

1:32:17 > 1:32:19Yeah, it was...wonderful.

1:32:21 > 1:32:23It was good of you to come.

1:32:26 > 1:32:30How are you? SIGHS Fucking stupid question.

1:32:30 > 1:32:33- Sorry. - Yeah.

1:32:38 > 1:32:41- I don't know what to say. - There's nothing to say.

1:32:41 > 1:32:44My ears are ringing with sympathy, but it's not...

1:32:46 > 1:32:48..it's not gonna bring him back.

1:32:53 > 1:32:55He had a rare gift, Joe...

1:32:55 > 1:32:58he knew his place in the world.

1:33:00 > 1:33:02He found wonder in simple things.

1:33:04 > 1:33:07He lived in the moment, like a child.

1:33:09 > 1:33:12That's a rare gift in a man.

1:33:20 > 1:33:23Do you know what the strangest thing is?

1:33:24 > 1:33:27I can't cry.

1:33:27 > 1:33:31It's the saddest moment in my life, and I can't cry.

1:33:33 > 1:33:36I mean, I wish I could cry.

1:33:39 > 1:33:42There must be something wrong with me.

1:33:43 > 1:33:47- If there's anything I can do for you, anything you need...- Oh, no.

1:34:00 > 1:34:02I was so afraid to come back.

1:34:05 > 1:34:08You were right to leave.

1:34:09 > 1:34:13It allowed you to... do what you wanted.

1:34:13 > 1:34:15Or maybe what I thought I wanted.

1:34:23 > 1:34:26- I should be getting back. - Yeah. OK. Sure.

1:34:28 > 1:34:32- Thanks for coming. - I'm sorry I was late.

1:34:34 > 1:34:36He would have laughed.

1:34:39 > 1:34:44- Well...goodbye, then. - Goodbye, Ruth.

1:35:14 > 1:35:16- How was it? - Weird.

1:35:23 > 1:35:27- This is Jane's grave? - Yep.

1:35:27 > 1:35:30And this one is Evelyn's.

1:35:31 > 1:35:35- Evelyn died?- I hope so. She's in trouble if she didn't.

1:35:35 > 1:35:39- How did...? Mum didn't tell me. - Well, there's a story.

1:35:39 > 1:35:42She was drawn to trouble like a drunk to the bottle

1:35:42 > 1:35:44and if she couldn't find it, she'd make it.

1:35:44 > 1:35:47Jesus Christ, you get more like Peggy Tickell every day!

1:35:47 > 1:35:51- I'm not like Peggy! - Just tell me what happened.

1:35:52 > 1:35:55Are you wearing make-up?

1:35:55 > 1:35:59- Fuck off. - All right, all right.

1:35:59 > 1:36:03Well, soon after Jane died, Jack and Evelyn split up.

1:36:03 > 1:36:07He never really got over Jane's death, and the final straw was...

1:36:07 > 1:36:11- Do you remember Kevin Hubble? - Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

1:36:11 > 1:36:13Jack found Evelyn in bed with him.

1:36:16 > 1:36:19- She married him. - Wow!

1:36:19 > 1:36:21Much to her regret. He was a monster.

1:36:21 > 1:36:25He made her life a living hell. And she stuck it out for years.

1:36:25 > 1:36:28It was as if she felt she deserved it.

1:36:28 > 1:36:31He beat her, he tormented her. He was a real bastard.

1:36:31 > 1:36:34Anyway, so she finally leaves him, steals his car.

1:36:34 > 1:36:37I don't know why, it was a wreck.

1:36:37 > 1:36:40Broke down on the motorway, got out and was hit by a lorry.

1:36:40 > 1:36:43- Oh, God! - Her head was chopped straight off.

1:36:43 > 1:36:47And the strangest thing was, they never found it.

1:36:47 > 1:36:52- Well, what happened to it?- Well, they thought a fox might've taken it.

1:36:53 > 1:36:56They don't know, and I don't suppose they ever will.

1:37:03 > 1:37:05There.

1:37:06 > 1:37:09- Are you wearing make-up? - No, I'm not wearing...

1:37:09 > 1:37:13Well...it's concealer. SHE LAUGHS

1:37:13 > 1:37:17- You are wearing make up! - Fuck off! HE CHUCKLES
