Shopkeeper James Coombes constantly argues with his wife Eveline and her friends Jennie and Clarence. When things become too tense, he wanders outside, first meditating how to kill her, then choosing to kill himself, by eating what he believes are poisonous purple mushrooms but they are revealed to be hallucinogenic. After an overdose, he starts consuming a calculated amount to improve his humour in daily life. Eventually, Eveline eats all the mushrooms by mistake, overdosing herself with dreadful consequences.

00:00Love is the greatest of all things, greater than fame, wealth or knowledge, but like all
00:17things it can be eroded. James Coombs, shopkeeper. His wife, Eveline, once
00:29there had been love, but now, now there was only rank disaffection.
00:36Man can take so much and then no more. I've had words, I've told her, but does she listen?
00:42Although anyone who chanced to meet him on that Sunday afternoon might be surprised to learn of it,
00:48Coombs was generally a mild and timid man.
00:52She's greedy, loquacious, disloyal.
00:59I could kill her.
01:16She changed out of all recognition since I married her, calling me names, freeing away all my profits.
01:22I'll bleed and kill her all right.
01:52Only married me to escape the labours of the workroom, but too stupid to do her share in the shop.
02:02I will bleed and kill her.
02:05I will bleed and kill her.
02:06I will bleed and kill her.
02:07I will bleed and kill her.
02:12In Coombs' heart, he knew he would never kill his wife, and yet he felt he could endure no more.
02:31In Coombs' heart, he knew he would never kill his wife, and yet he felt he could endure no more.
02:44If Sunday had started off well enough.
03:00There must be Jenny and her new chat.
03:05You invited Jenny?
03:07Yes.
03:08Well, you didn't tell me.
03:10Didn't I?
03:11I thought I did.
03:20Come in.
03:21Come in.
03:22Hello, Evelyn.
03:23Blasted Jedi.
03:24Gosh, I love my hat.
03:25Jenny.
03:26Ain't it just?
03:27I was ever so taken.
03:28Oh, afternoon, Mr. Coombs.
03:29Good afternoon, Jenny.
03:30This is my bell, Mr. Clint.
03:31Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Coombs.
03:32Oh, leave away these things while I attend to our game.
03:41Oh, thanks.
03:51Oh.
03:55Oh, oh, oh.
04:00Flaming Jenny, coming around whenever she fancies with her gabbling chronicle of fellas and her flamin' ex!
04:17And I said, isn't that the most divine hat? Then Darling Clements only goes off to purchase it for me!
04:31Oh, how sweet of him! I know, Jim! Why don't we go out shopping this weekend?
04:38You've already got three hats, Evie. Only one in.
04:41Well, the lady's got to look her best. Quite!
04:47A little dolly dolly dream, pride of Idaho, so don't you know?
04:59And when you die, Sunday!
05:04What song am I playing now?
05:06Careful with that music still. It's not built for every weights.
05:09Don't you want that weights? Can't people just enjoy themselves?
05:13Dolly, you don't hold with not having a bit of music on a Sunday, Mr Coombs?
05:16I do. May I ask for why?
05:19Because it don't suit me. I don't mind rational enjoyment at all, but I am not having weekday tunes played on a Sunday in this house!
05:28I never saw such a man as you! You've altered all round since we was married!
05:33I'm a business man! I have to study my connection! If you don't mean to study my connection, what do you marry me for?
05:40I wonder! You've gone all stiff and starchy! Never mind, Jim! Play on, Jenny!
05:53I tell you, I will not have that!
05:58Well, no violence now!
06:01Who did they do see you?
06:03I am Jenny's intended.
06:06I don't care who you are!
06:08Jim!
06:09You ought to be ashamed of yourself insulting your guests!
06:12They're not my guests!
06:14Go on, get out!
06:15Hyperia!
06:16Where?
06:17Go on, get out!
06:18You do no such thing! You stay just where you are!
06:20You are!
06:21You are always welcoming this house, Jenny! You too, Clarence!
06:25Right!
06:29Come on, get out!
06:50All that remains in him now was disappointment and loneliness.
06:56Coons began to realise it was not Everlane's death he craved.
07:08Serve her right if I kill myself.
07:14I'll hang myself.
07:16Here.
07:20Of a tree.
07:50Why not Aaron now?
07:51Why not Aaron now?
07:52Why not Aaron now?
07:54Why not Aaron now?
07:56Have a lie!
07:57A tree is near hasil.
07:58To the tree is near the salt and water,
07:59you will have gone on with a tree.
08:01You have to keep our tree now.
08:02Why not Aaron now?
08:03Why not Aaron now?
08:04Why not Aaron now?
08:05You are left alone.
08:06You are lost, isn't there...
08:07Who knows Aaron?
08:08Why not Aaron now?
08:09He is hurt!
08:10He has to be Gate,
08:11you got to pay for his money!
08:17Who knows?
08:18He has to be $1 of $1 of $1!
08:20Is all the good stuff?
08:50Such a fuss about nothing.
09:16See what I have to put up with, Mr Clarence?
09:18He is a bit hasty.
09:20All he cares about is that old shop.
09:22And if I have any company,
09:24or give myself anything to keep myself decent,
09:27get any little thing I want out of the housekeeping money,
09:30there's disagreeables.
09:31If a man values a woman,
09:33he must be prepared to make sacrifices for her.
09:35He was a fool to have him, if you don't mind me saying so.
09:38I should have seen it coming, Jenny.
09:40If it wasn't for my old father,
09:42we shouldn't have had not a carriage to our wedding.
09:45Lord, you didn't stick out at that.
09:47For my own part, I wouldn't think of marrying
09:49until I was in a position to do the thing in style.
09:51The fuss he makes about money.
09:54Always coming to me with sheets of paper and figures,
09:58pretty near crying.
09:59Always asking me to work in that shop, I ask you.
10:02I says to him,
10:04if you wanted a slave, why didn't you marry one,
10:06instead of a respectable girl?
10:08He don't deserve you, Evelyn, and that's a fact.
10:11He's a little grub of a man.
10:14A grub?
10:15Yes, indeed.
10:16A grub of a man.
10:17A grub of a man.
10:18A grub of a man.
10:20A grub of a man.
10:22A grub of a man.
10:25A grub of a man.
10:27A grub of a man.
10:29Play that tune again, Jenny!
10:31Oh, yeah, go on, Jenny!
10:33He's a grub!
10:35He's a grub of a man!
10:39Oh, this is cool!
10:41Little, little, little pride and I know
10:45So now you know
10:47And when we go
10:49If there's something on your mind
10:52Don't think it's you
10:54Cos no-one's gonna kiss the hell not me
10:59Ha, ha, ha, ha
11:17In Eaton, what he believed to be poisonous toadstools
11:21James Coombs had elected to leave this world
11:25However
11:27He was completely unprepared for the bizarre
11:30And irrational dimensions of the new world
11:32He had inadvertently entered
11:38They were not poisonous toadstools
11:40He was very unpleasant back home
11:42And all because they just want to be at E and enjoy themselves
11:46And they were quite right too
11:48I think up until now
11:52I've been very... dull
11:54I think up until now
11:58I've been very... dull
12:02I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I've been very dull
12:12Now, I've been very dull, but I shall be dull no longer.
12:42Thank you for the lovely crumpets, Mrs Coombs.
12:45It's my pleasure. Marvellous to have a bit of a sing-song too, ain't it?
12:48Delightful. And I'm sorry about the earlier disagreeables.
12:53You're a saint for putting up with him, Evie. You know that, don't you?
12:56It tries me best. Putting up with the little grub?
12:59Oh, Mr Clarence!
13:04He says, Lord Chip, he left a lion, he'll return like a lamb, I'll lay.
13:12Jim!
13:22Evie! Evie!
13:27Jim!
13:29You look just like when we first met. Only older.
13:35He's drunk.
13:37We're just on our way, Mr Coombs. Thank you for your hospitality.
13:40No, surely you're not going.
13:42Afraid so, Mr Coombs.
13:43Come along, Clarence.
13:44See you again soon, I hope.
13:46Evelyn.
13:47Oh!
13:48Stay, stay.
13:50Sing some more songs.
13:52Here.
13:53Here.
13:54Have a toadstall.
13:56Surely good stuff.
13:58Uh!
14:01Perhaps not.
14:02No, my arse!
14:03Oh!
14:04I'm arse to here!
14:05You eat what?
14:06Please, do it!
14:07Jim!
14:08It's not all disagreeables!
14:10Eat what?
14:11Ah!
14:12Eat what?
14:13Ah!
14:14Ah!
14:15Come on!
14:16Come on!
14:17Sing!
14:18Mrs Jones!
14:19Sing, man!
14:20Sing!
14:23All right.
14:24All right.
14:25Little dolly daydreams, pride of our home.
14:30Ah!
14:31Come along now, Mr Clarence!
14:35We must have some merriment!
14:38Dance with me!
14:39Dance with me!
14:40What?
14:41Dance with me!
14:42Listen!
14:43No!
14:44No!
14:45No!
14:46No!
14:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
14:49Please.
14:50Mr Coates, we are both busy men.
14:52Too busy for merriment.
14:53Too busy!
14:54That's just a problem.
14:55We mustn't be too busy.
14:57We must make life as bright and as wonderous as possible!
15:06Now come toss with me once more.
15:08Toss with me!
15:12No!
15:36Evelyn assumed Coombe's behaviour to be due to an overindulgence in hell.
15:43And he did nothing to dissuade her from this belief.
15:49Naturally, relations were strained for several days.
15:53I don't know what to say. I'm sure I don't.
15:58Maybe. Best not say anything.
16:06Yet, soon enough, things returned to the old order.
16:13However, having tasted heaven,
16:16Coombe's found it difficult to be content with the old order.
16:27Purple, Pilius. Season, late spring.
16:32Spring, habitat, woodland, hallucinogenic.
16:41Coombe's now realised he had been the victim of an overdose.
16:46He believed, with careful calculation,
16:49he could determine exactly the correct dose.
16:52The dose which would induce within him a gentle intimation
16:56of that blissful feeling he so craved to know again.
16:59Coombe's now realised,
17:00he was so embarrassed,
17:01but he is still gripped to know again.
17:02He was so surprised,
17:03as a child who lived in a grave to know again.
17:04Coombe's now realised,
17:05the man who lived in the grave to know again.
17:06Coombe's now realised,
17:07Let's go.
17:37Let's go.
18:07Let's go.
18:37Let's go.
19:07Let's go.
19:08Let's go.
19:09Let's go.
19:10Let's go.
19:11Let's go.
19:12Let's go.
19:13Let's go.
19:14Let's go.
19:15Let's go.
19:16Inevitably, of course, there was the occasional miscalculation.
19:21Let's go.
19:22And he had to over the consequences.
19:25Let's go.
19:26Let's go.
19:27Let's go.
19:28Let's go.
19:29Let's go.
19:30Let's go.
19:31Let's go.
19:32Let's go.
19:33Let's go.
19:34Let's go.
19:35Let's go.
19:36Let's go.
19:37Let's go.
19:38Let's go.
19:39Let's go.
19:40Let's go.
19:41Let's go.
19:42Let's go.
19:43Let's go.
19:44Let's go.
19:45Let's go.
19:46Let's go.
19:47Let's go.
19:48Let's go.
19:49I'll get the vase.
20:18Let's go.
20:19Let's go.
20:20Let's go.
20:21What sort of creature are you?
20:48Let's go.
20:50Let's go.
20:51Let's go.
20:54Let's go.
20:55Let's go.
21:00Let's go.
21:01Oh.
21:03Shh.
21:06AHHHHH
21:18Many a man has desired to live in a state of constant bliss.
21:41Many a man has tried to create his own wonderland.
21:44But few are able to live there forever, because in the end, the barbarians will always arrive.
22:14We are able to live there forever, because in the end, the barbarians will always arrive.
22:21It is a very different place to live in a state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state.
22:26That is why we are not able to live in a state of the state of the state of the state.
