00:00Music
00:29Oh, Laura, not interrupting you, am I?
00:34Morning, Mr. Brittus.
00:36Just a tad concerned, third day of Energy Conservation Week
00:40and consumption's actually gone up.
00:42Maybe it's all the food I'm popping up.
00:43So, I thought a little survey might be helpful.
00:47If we get the staff to fill in one of these
00:49for every electrical item in the building,
00:51then I'll be able to know
00:52when the most cost-effective savings can be made.
00:55Four or five pages, is it?
00:56Yeah, so I've combined it with a safety check to save paper.
01:01So, if you could take them round,
01:02make sure people have got enough copies.
01:04You'll want to keep one back for yourself, of course,
01:06for the tape recorder.
01:08Oh, good.
01:11You want to move your arms up further than that.
01:14Sorry?
01:14To get the full benefit on your subclavius.
01:17You've got to stretch.
01:18That's it, that's good.
01:21In fact, that's very good.
01:26You're not usually in this early, are you, Mr Brutus?
01:29No, no, no.
01:31No, this is normally family breakfast time.
01:32They're all down in Cornwall.
01:34I thought you were taking your holiday next week.
01:35I am, Laura.
01:37Unfortunately, Helen got a bit confused over the dates
01:39and booked the wrong week.
01:40So, they've gone on holiday without you?
01:43Funnily enough,
01:44they made exactly the same mistake last year.
01:47Still, these things happen, eh?
01:49Uh-huh.
01:50Okay.
01:50Please, allow me.
01:56There you go.
02:02How are you managing?
02:04Pardon?
02:05Well, you know, for food and things,
02:06I just wanted a further...
02:07Oh, no problem there, Laura.
02:09Helen left a deep freeze packed full.
02:11Pizzas, mainly.
02:13But plenty of varieties.
02:14You never get bored.
02:15But if you fancy a change,
02:16you're welcome to come round for supper.
02:19Supper?
02:20Tonight, if you like.
02:22It's fucked.
02:23You don't have to decide right away.
02:25No.
02:25No, Laura.
02:26I'm very grateful.
02:27Thank you very much.
02:28And I'll do the form for you.
02:30Form?
02:31For the tape recorder.
02:34I'll fill in the details.
02:36One good turn deserves another.
02:41Oh, smells good, Carol.
02:43Would you like one, Tim?
02:44Oh.
02:45Ben's having a few friends around for tea this afternoon
02:47and I don't like buying them things from the shops.
02:48Oh, very good.
02:50I'll try one of these, Colin.
02:51Yeah, I would, thank you, Tim.
02:52These products have a rather unfortunate effect
02:54on the flaky skin under my armpits.
02:56I was wondering if either of you could help me at all.
02:59Yes, of course, Colin.
03:00What can we do for you?
03:00Have either of you been to the toilet today?
03:02This isn't Britass, is it?
03:05Pardon?
03:06Only I thought we decided at the last staff meeting
03:07we weren't going to cooperate with a bowel movement chart.
03:10Look, this is a personal project, Tim.
03:12I'm trying to get a realistic estimate
03:14of the raw material available
03:15for the methane generator I've constructed in the basement.
03:18Oh, you want to know if we can...
03:20I need a constant supply of material
03:21passing through the system, you see,
03:23and I was hoping that the staff would...
03:24I'm sorry, Colin.
03:25I'm afraid I'm a straight-after-breakfast man myself.
03:28Carol?
03:29I'm afraid I don't like the idea of...
03:30It's not compulsory, Carol.
03:32It's just we all have to go.
03:34So why not channel it into something
03:35that creates energy and helps to save the environment?
03:39It's the special toilet
03:40at the far end of the squash court, if you change your minds.
03:42All right.
03:44Chocolate buns and a chat with Colin.
03:46It's days like these that make my life worth living.
03:49Excuse me.
03:50Oh, welcome to Whitby Newtown Notice Centre,
03:51and how may I help you?
03:52I'm looking for Mr. Featherly.
03:54I think he works here.
03:56Oh, you mean Gavin.
03:57I think he's in the staff room.
03:58I'll just check.
03:59Hello, staff room.
04:00Is Gavin in there?
04:01I have a young lady in reception.
04:02Who shall I say is calling?
04:03Jennifer Pelham Young.
04:05I'm his fiancée.
04:08Is everything all right, Carol?
04:10Yes, yes, I'm fine, Judy.
04:11It's just this young lady is looking for Gavin.
04:14She's his fiancée.
04:16Gavin's fiancée.
04:17He does still work here, doesn't he?
04:19Oh, yeah, yeah.
04:20Where is he?
04:20It's just that he's...
04:21Everything all right, Carol?
04:22There was a hell of a crash on the intercom.
04:23It's fine, thank you, Tim.
04:24Uh, Tim, have you seen Gavin?
04:26Yes, he's up in the office, I think.
04:28British wanted him.
04:28All right, I'll take you up.
04:29Come on.
04:31Who's that, then?
04:31What?
04:32The woman to see Gavin.
04:33I just wondered who she was.
04:34No one, no one.
04:34No one, no one at all.
04:35It's, it's just...
04:37Oh, Tim.
04:39It's so awful.
04:41You poor baby.
04:48Come in.
04:49Have you seen Gavin?
04:52I'm afraid Gavin's gone into town for me, Julie, to get a three-amp fuse.
04:55All right.
04:56Only I've got his fiancée here.
04:58Fiancée.
04:59Well, don't leave outside.
05:00Bring her in.
05:02How do you do, Gordon Bridges' manager?
05:06Jennifer Pelham Young, I hope I'm not disturbing you.
05:09Oh, no, no, not at all, not at all, no.
05:12Please, sit yourself down.
05:16Gavin's fiancée.
05:17We had no idea, did we, Julie?
05:19Certainly didn't.
05:20I've been away for a while.
05:21In fact, I only flew into Heathrow this morning.
05:24Ah, so he doesn't know you're here?
05:25It's a sort of surprise.
05:27I'd say it will be.
05:29Now, I'm here, to be honest, I'm rather nervous.
05:31Maybe he won't want to see me.
05:33I mean, five years is a long time.
05:35And you're worried he might have found someone else, are you?
05:38Well, I could hardly blame him.
05:40I think we can reassure you on that score, Jennifer.
05:43In all his years here, Gavin has not so much as looked at a gal.
05:46Am I right, Julie?
05:48But on, Mr. Bridges.
05:50You're sure about that?
05:52Absence is a great test of any relationship, Jennifer.
05:55But I think your Gavin has passed with flying colours.
05:58That's such a relief.
06:00Or should I go and see if he's back yet?
06:01If you would, Julie.
06:02And you'll bring him straight up here?
06:03You bet I will.
06:06Come on, Tim.
06:07Probably doesn't mean anything.
06:08How could it not mean anything?
06:10I've been out with lots of men who were engaged.
06:13I promise you, it doesn't make any difference.
06:15I just don't understand.
06:16How could he lie to me all these years?
06:18Maybe it's a mistake.
06:19Well, maybe she's just confusing him with another Gavin Featherly.
06:23You know, she's got the wrong leisure centre.
06:25Do you think so?
06:26I think it's the only possible explanation.
06:29Yes.
06:30Yes, you could be right.
06:31I always overreact like this.
06:34I've got him.
06:35I thought you'd like a word before I take him up to British.
06:37What is all this?
06:38What's going on?
06:39Tim?
06:40You've had a visitor.
06:42Yes.
06:43She has some story about being your fiancée.
06:45Jenny?
06:47Jenny's here.
06:48Oh, I knew this would happen.
06:50Colin?
07:05Colin?
07:05Ah, Laura.
07:07Just in time for coffee.
07:08Yeah.
07:10Mr. Curtis wants everyone to fill in one of these forms for each item of electrical liquid.
07:15Colin, what is all this?
07:17It's a methane digester, Laura.
07:20Yes?
07:21It's my contribution to Energy Conservation Week.
07:24You see, what I've done is bypass the waste pipe from the toilet upstairs so that it comes
07:29down into this settlement tank here where hungry enzymes eat up the material, producing
07:34methane gas, which is burnt in here, producing steam, which turns this generator and produces
07:40electricity.
07:42I thought Mr. Butcher's only said you should do a feasibility study.
07:45That's what I'm doing, Laura, finding out if it's feasible, and it is.
07:49It's... I'm not just going through the motions.
07:52And as a by-product, it produces water safe enough to use even in coffee.
07:58That's wonderful, Laura.
08:01You're in luck.
08:02You're going to see it in action.
08:05Oh, good.
08:06Thank you for your cooperation.
08:09Your waste products are now being recycled.
08:11It's quality in the sun.
08:13Now, we've just got to wait for the material to work its way through the system.
08:19And there you have it, you see?
08:26Power!
08:28It's not exactly the national grid, is it?
08:31Which is why I am in the process of fitting a transformer, which will increase the power
08:36to domestic voltage.
08:37There's only one problem, Laura.
08:41There's not enough material coming through the system.
08:43I've had to work with the staff, but most of them prefer to go first thing in the morning
08:47at home.
08:48I don't know if you have any suggestions.
08:50Do you know, I'm going to have to leave that one with you, Colin.
08:56Domestic voltage.
08:57So, both your parents are dead?
09:00I believe so.
09:02I am sorry about that.
09:05Do you remember anything about them?
09:06Sadly not.
09:07I'm an amnesiac, you see.
09:09I can't remember anything before my 16th birthday.
09:12After that, it's all quite clear, but before, nothing.
09:15I see.
09:16I'm told they were scientists specialising in the study of oceanic mammals.
09:20People say I should be very proud of them, but I don't remember.
09:23It's very annoying.
09:24Yes, they probably did.
09:29Anyway, when did you and Gavin get engaged?
09:31When I was 18.
09:32Five years, seven months and 14 days ago.
09:35I've got him.
09:36Oh, thank you, Tim.
09:39And here he is, the man himself.
09:44Hello, Jenny.
09:45Oh, Gavin.
09:46It's so wonderful to see you.
09:48I've got you a fuse, Mr. Brittus.
09:55Oh, Gavin, that's no way to greet a fiancé you haven't seen for five years.
09:59Give her a proper kiss.
10:00And don't worry, we've seen it all before, haven't we, Tim?
10:08That's more like it.
10:10Right, now, you two lovebirds are going to want to spend some time alone together.
10:15The restroom, I suggest, Gavin.
10:17And don't you worry about setting up the volleyball court.
10:20Tim and I will do that, won't we, Tim?
10:22Tim, I...
10:23Go on, off you go.
10:27Who'd have thought it, eh, Tim?
10:29Did you know they're engaged?
10:30No.
10:31No, I didn't.
10:32Well, it's certainly landed on his feet, hasn't he?
10:34Beautiful, intelligent, and apparently rather wealthy.
10:38The ideal partner, I'd say.
10:40Yes, perfect.
10:41Absolutely perfect.
10:44Tim, do I detect a note of bitterness there?
10:48Bitter?
10:49Why would I be bitter?
10:50It may not be obvious to you, but to a trained observer,
10:54your body language is saying,
10:57I hurt.
10:58You're not happy about Gavin getting married, are you?
11:05Let me tell you something, Tim.
11:07I had a chum once.
11:09We shared a flat, just like you and Gavin.
11:13In fact, we shared everything together.
11:16Whenever he went out, wherever he went,
11:18I was always there with him.
11:20And then suddenly, without warning,
11:22I came home one evening to find out he'd gone to live in Borneo.
11:25So, friendships are like that, Tim.
11:29Sooner or later, they come to an end.
11:31We just have to accept it.
11:32But how could he do it to me, Mr. Brittus?
11:35Tim, I think the best thing is for you
11:36to think about how Gavin must be feeling.
11:39Think about how happy and excited he must be
11:41at the prospect of spending the rest of his life
11:44with someone beautiful and gorgeous and warm-hearted,
11:47and who obviously adores him.
11:49Now, you wouldn't want him to miss out on that, would you?
11:52Is that any help, Tim?
11:57I thought it might.
12:00I've got a form for Mr. Brittus, I'm afraid, Carol.
12:02He's worried about saving electricity.
12:04Oh, more for that, Laura.
12:05I try and save where I can,
12:06which is why I have a microwave.
12:09You know you're a microwave?
12:10It uses 70% less power than a conventional cooker, Laura.
12:13If you have to worry about the world's resources,
12:15do you know sometimes I have nightmares
12:16about the kind of world that little Ben and the twins
12:19are going to grow up in?
12:20Yes, it worries me.
12:21So I always try and use a full load in the washing machine.
12:24Always use the economy setting.
12:27You have a washing machine?
12:29A washer-dryer, Laura.
12:31The babies, you know.
12:32I thought there was only one PowerPoint behind there, Carol.
12:35There is.
12:38Ah, you use adaption.
12:39Oh, just the one for one, is it, Laura?
12:41I think we'll miss you out of this one, Carol.
12:43Excuse me.
12:45Welcome to Whitby Newtown Lozier Centre,
12:47and how may I help you?
12:48Yeah, I just wondered if the young lady was ready yet,
12:50only the meat is still ticking away.
12:52Oh, here must be the taxi for Gavin's fiancée.
12:54I'll just see if I can locate her.
12:56Did you say Gavin's fiancée?
12:57Yes, she came down from Heathrow this morning.
12:59Only the clock's up to 240 quid now, you know, I just...
13:02Gavin?
13:02That's a fiancée?
13:03Yes, she's in the staff room.
13:05I'm just going to give her a call.
13:07Let me do this.
13:09Well, there's this one, the rectory in Nottinghamshire,
13:11which doesn't have a swimming pool,
13:13but has seven bedrooms and bigger stable.
13:16Yes.
13:17Sorry to disturb you.
13:18There's a taxi outside.
13:19Oh, goodness, I'd forgotten about him.
13:21He'll want some money, won't he?
13:22About 240 pounds, I gather.
13:24Right.
13:25On second thoughts, maybe we should ask him to hang on.
13:30Well, we'll need him this afternoon, won't we, darling?
13:32Well, I...
13:33You're house hunting.
13:34You have to get onto these things so quickly, don't you?
13:36That's why we're going out this afternoon.
13:39This afternoon?
13:40I thought you were on pool duty.
13:42Oh, hadn't thought of that.
13:44He doesn't have to do it, does he?
13:46Well...
13:47Well, Mr Brittis is very strict about that sort of thing, Jenny,
13:49isn't he, Laura?
13:50Oh, nobody's allowed to make changes to the timetable.
13:52But these are very special circumstances, Gavin.
13:56I'm sure Mr Brittis would understand.
13:58I'll go and talk to him.
13:59And I'll have a word with the taxi driver on the way.
14:02Love you.
14:06Love you.
14:13Gavin, what the hell is going on?
14:15Oh, Laura, please.
14:16Are you seriously telling us you're engaged to that girl?
14:18Well, technically, yes.
14:20Technically?
14:20What does that mean?
14:21It's complicated.
14:22It's not easy to explain.
14:24Well, I think you should try.
14:26Let's start at the beginning, shall we?
14:29It was all a long time ago, Laura.
14:31I'd been sent away to relations in Derbyshire.
14:34There'd been a bit of trouble at the local gym.
14:37There was a court case.
14:39Anyway, I met this girl.
14:40Jenny?
14:41Yes.
14:42We seemed to get on really well.
14:43You know, we like the same sort of things.
14:44And anyway, on my 19th birthday, I asked her to marry me.
14:49Just like that?
14:50I had a lot of advantages at the time, Laura.
14:53Anyway, before anything had happened, she had a relapse and got sent back to the mental home.
14:57Oh.
14:58She's where she's been ever since.
15:02I'm sorry, Gavin.
15:03If you'd rather not talk about it.
15:05Oh, no.
15:05I don't care who knows anymore.
15:07It's all right.
15:08She says you don't care anymore.
15:10What's all your mental home, Gavin?
15:11Well, it's a private clinic in Scotland.
15:13Oh, and she's been banged up there for five years.
15:15And you haven't seen her?
15:16Well, I wrote to her.
15:17The doctor said it was important, so I wrote every week.
15:19But you didn't tell her about Tim?
15:20No.
15:21No, I didn't.
15:23I think you ought to, Gavin.
15:25Oh, how can I, Laura?
15:26She's just told me the whole reason she's cured is because I gave her something to live for.
15:30If I let her down now, she'll be right back to where she started.
15:33Oh, I don't know what to do.
15:35Gosh.
15:36It's not easy, is it?
15:38Oh, I mean, there's something rather impressive about it, isn't there?
15:41A young, full-blooded male whose fiancé goes away for five years, and he doesn't so much
15:47as look at another woman.
15:50And it can't have been that easy, can it?
15:52I mean, there's temptation everywhere.
15:54We all know that.
15:55And from some very attractive ladies.
15:59I suppose the best thing to do, Tim, is remember that while our loved ones are away, a promise
16:05is still a promise.
16:06And we will have to face them when they get ba-
16:09when they get back from Cornwall in a week's turn.
16:14Tim, I wonder, would you mind taking a little note to Laura for me?
16:18It's just that Gavin has reminded me of a rather important principle.
16:24So if you could just give this to Laura, with my regrets, of course,
16:29and I hope she's not too disappointed.
16:31Would you do that for me?
16:33Come in.
16:34Oh, Jenny, what can I do you for?
16:36Sorry to bother you, Mr. British.
16:38Gordon, please.
16:40I just wanted to ask if you'd mind if Gavin and I went house hunting.
16:46Thanks, Tim.
16:49Only, uh, somebody said there might be a problem with his pool duty.
16:53He is on this afternoon, yes.
16:56Well, could you get somebody else to do it?
16:58Only we've got two places to see this afternoon, and tomorrow I was going to-
17:01Whoa.
17:02I'm afraid our timetable is delicately balanced and poised to give a structured duty roster
17:07of shared responsibilities, Jenny.
17:09You mean-
17:10We never make changes to our timetable.
17:14Are you saying I can't go?
17:16Not with Gavin, I'm afraid, no.
17:18I'll tell you what.
17:19He's off on Sunday.
17:23You can have all day together, then.
17:27Is that all right, Jenny?
17:29Jenny?
17:31Jenny?
17:32Yes, of course.
17:33Thank you so much.
17:35I have to go now.
17:37If you have any other problems, Jenny, just come back and tell me, all right?
17:45Oh, Colin, the very person.
17:47Yes, Laura?
17:47There's a notice on the staff room lavatory that says,
17:50Danger, 50,000 volts.
17:51Ah.
17:52There's another one in the main toilet block that advises the public not to sit down,
17:56because rodding is in progress.
17:59What's it all about, Colin?
18:00Well, it's all part of a little subterfuge I've been putting into effect, Laura.
18:03You see, I'm trying to channel all the lavatory usage of this centre
18:07through the toilet at the back of the squash court.
18:09That way, you see, all the material ends up in my...
18:12Methane digester, yes.
18:14It's in a very good cause, Laura.
18:16I calculate this entire leisure centre could be self-sufficient by February,
18:20if only everybody would push...
18:22Yes, I think we know that you don't have to do, Colin,
18:24but I would be grateful if you left the staff ladies out of it.
18:28What are these, Carol?
18:29Oh, the taxi driver bought them in there, Jenny's.
18:31They can't stay here.
18:33I'll take...
18:34Good grief!
18:35What's she got in here?
18:36I think it's petrol.
18:38What?
18:39It's none of my business, but I couldn't help noticing the stuff seeping out,
18:42so I just opened it and tightened the top of one of the cans.
18:44It is petrol.
18:46What's she got in the others?
18:48Oh, Laura, I really don't think we should go firelighters.
18:51I'm killing them.
18:53It's extraordinary what people think they need on a journey, isn't it?
18:56Can I help you?
19:02Oh, hello.
19:03I, er, seem to have lost an earring and it was rather dark in here, so...
19:07Oh, you don't want to use a match.
19:09Not down here.
19:11You can cause a very nasty fire doing that.
19:13Do you think so?
19:14Oh, it's an arsonist paradise down here, jammed full of combustibles.
19:17It's not just the wood shavings and the oily rags, you see.
19:20It's the oxyacetylene cylinders, cans of paint, old newspapers.
19:24Where are they?
19:25Over there under that tank.
19:26And that, of course, is the biggest danger of all.
19:28Really?
19:29Methane gas.
19:30Highly inflammable.
19:31How very interesting.
19:33Oh, it's a little something I've been working on that powers that generator and lights up
19:36that bulb.
19:37Goodness.
19:38Does it really?
19:39Of course, it's more impressive when it's actually working, but we are rather dependent
19:42on whether anybody upstairs...
19:44I'd said you've gone for it myself, but today I've already...
19:48Oh, I don't know.
19:50I could give it a shot.
19:52I'll tell you what.
19:53I'll go upstairs.
19:54Give me five minutes.
19:56No, you'd better make that ten.
19:57And when you hear the flush, just you keep your eyes on that bulb.
20:09What the hell is going on, Carol?
20:11There's a notice on my executive washroom door saying,
20:14Beware acid spillage.
20:16When I come down to the toilet on the floor below, by which time I'm in no mood for jokes,
20:21I see another notice saying,
20:23No entry, adverse weather conditions.
20:25And there's another one.
20:29I think it's Colin, Miss British.
20:31Colin?
20:31Oh, I'd have known it.
20:32Where is he?
20:33The Resources Recycling Unit.
20:35The where?
20:36You remember you said he could have that little room between the boiler and the pool chemical
20:40plant?
20:40I said he could be buried in it, Carol.
20:42But when I find him, he probably will be.
20:52It all comes down to her parents, you see.
20:54It's always her parents, isn't it?
20:56Glad I didn't have any.
20:58What about the parents?
20:59Well, they died when she was 16.
21:01Their plane crashed when they were flying out to the Bering Straits to rescue a dolphin
21:04trapped on the ice there.
21:05They did a lot of that sort of thing, flying around, saving dolphins.
21:09It can't have left a lot of time for Jenny.
21:11None at all, really.
21:12That was the problem.
21:13The doctors say that when her parents died, it set up this conflict in her mind.
21:17On the one hand, she felt really angry because her parents had left her again, but she couldn't
21:20express it because everyone kept telling her what saints they were.
21:23So she blotted them out of her mind.
21:25Yeah, amnesia, right.
21:27But she still had the anger and she couldn't let it out in any normal way, so...
21:31She set fire to things.
21:33An arsonist.
21:34Yes.
21:35Just as well she's cured now, isn't it?
21:37Gavin, do you know what hospital she was in?
21:39Why?
21:40I think it might be an idea if you gave them a ring.
21:44I'll kill him.
21:48Where are you, Colleen?
21:51Good grief.
21:53Oi, what are you doing?
22:05Huh?
22:06Help!
22:07Help!
22:08Help!
22:08Help me!
22:10Help!
22:11Help me!
22:12Right.
22:13Bye.
22:14You're absolutely right.
22:16She's not cured at all.
22:18She was on day release to visit an aunt.
22:19They've been trying to trace her all day.
22:21Lush, what do we do now?
22:22Well, they're arranging a private ambulance.
22:24The doctor's flying down by a helicopter.
22:26He'll be here in an hour.
22:27I think we should keep an eye on her all the same.
22:28Where is she?
22:29I wonder if anyone here could do me a favour.
22:31Later, Colleen.
22:32Has anyone seen her since she went to British's office?
22:34I'm looking for a volunteer to use the downstairs toilet.
22:37That was quarter of an hour ago.
22:38She can't still be there.
22:39I've rather overestimated my own capacity and I have promised the young lady.
22:44Colleen, this is important.
22:45Young lady?
22:46You mean Jenny?
22:46Who's Jenny?
22:47Long red hair.
22:48Check jacket.
22:49That's the one.
22:49And I promised her.
22:50Where is she?
22:51In the basement.
22:52Right.
22:52Right.
22:52Linda, you and I will go down and keep her in conversation.
22:55Gavin, you better put those suitcases somewhere she can't find them.
22:57Dr. Bownberger says the important thing is not to let her get upset or frustrated.
23:01Absolutely.
23:02We mustn't let her get angry.
23:06Where's Mr. British?
23:10What's wrong with house hunting?
23:12Why don't you let him go?
23:14You damn it's fine.
23:15You don't care, don't you?
23:16You just don't care.
23:18I hate you.
23:19I hate you.
23:20Give yourself up for everyone.
23:21I hate you.
23:22You're just like my...
23:24You're just like my parents.
23:27This is a girl who can't express anger.
23:33Jenny, it's all right.
23:35What?
23:36It's me.
23:37It's all right.
23:38Oh, I'm sorry.
23:39I just...
23:40You made me so angry.
23:44You reminded me of my parents.
23:46Jenny, you don't remember your parents.
23:49Yes, I do.
23:52Gavin.
23:54I remember everything.
23:57Is she okay?
24:00Yes.
24:01Yes, I'm fine.
24:03Come on, Jenny.
24:05Come on.
24:07You come along with us.
24:09Come on.
24:10This way.
24:12That's it.
24:13You're all right, Mr. Brittas.
24:18Just get me out of this thing, please, Laura.
24:25Quite a strong girl, wasn't she, Mr. Brittas?
24:28We're going to need a hacksaw, Colin.
24:29Right-o, Laura.
24:32Don't worry, Mr. Brittas.
24:34You're quite safe now.
24:35Well, we're here.
24:36We're here.
24:45Thank you for your cooperation.
24:48Your waste products are now being recycled.
24:50Please call again soon.
24:52The ambulance is leaving.
25:14If you wanted to say goodbye.
25:15Not particularly.
25:21Dr. Baumberger has asked me to tell you how grateful he is.
25:26Grateful?
25:27Apparently, at the hospital, they've been trying to get Jenny to release her feelings like
25:32that for years.
25:33They could never make her angry enough.
25:37They say it's a real breakthrough for her.
25:41All these years, she's been trapped in her past, and now suddenly she's free.
25:46And it's all thanks to you.
25:50Me?
25:50The doctor said he'd quite like to talk to you about it sometime.
25:55Find out how you did it.
25:57Did he?
25:58He said you have a very special talent.
26:02Well, Laura, I mean, it's...
26:03Oh, I've got your note, by the way.
26:05Sorry?
26:05About not wanting supper.
26:06That's fine.
26:07No problem.
26:17So, they're taking her back to the clinic, are they?
26:19Not for long, they think.
26:21The doctor reckons she's well on the way to recovery.
26:23It's like a miracle.
26:24Mr. Brittis, I...
26:25I don't know how to thank you.
26:27It's all right, Gavin.
26:28Think of it as an early wedding present.
26:30There, er...
26:30There isn't going to be a wedding, Mr. Brittis.
26:33That girl's depending on you, Gavin.
26:35You can't just cast her aside because she's mentally unstable.
26:38No, it's not that.
26:39Some very successful marriages are to mentally disturbed ladies.
26:43They have the advantage of knowing beforehand they're not finding out two days into the honeymoon.
26:48Sorry, Mr. Brittis, I...
26:50I just couldn't go through with it.
26:52You have to.
26:53You made a promise, Gavin Featherly, and you can't go back on your word.
26:56Believe me, Mr. Brittis, if things were different, there's nothing I'd like more.
27:00Are you ready to come home, Gavin?
27:02Thanks, Timmy.
27:04But, er...
27:05It wouldn't have worked.
27:10There are few more depressing sights in this world, Linda, than a man going back on his word.
27:16I think you're wrong, Mr. Brittis.
27:18What?
27:19About Gavin and Jenny.
27:21I don't think people can always decide what's the best thing to do just by a set of rules.
27:25Life's more complicated than that.
27:27The only thing any of us can really do is what we feel is right in our hearts.
27:32It may not be the easiest thing, but I think following our hearts is the only chance any of us get to find real fulfilment and happiness.
27:39Well, that's what I think, anyway.
27:53Is that you, Laura?
27:54Oh!
27:56Mr. Brittis?
27:57I was wondering if that invitation to dinner's still on.
28:00Sorry?
28:01I wondered if I could change my mind about supper.
28:04What, you mean tonight?
28:05If that's all right, yes.
28:06Yes, yes, that's fine.
28:08Excellent!
28:10What time would you like me to come round at?
28:12Could we talk about this after I've finished my shower, Mr. Brittis?
28:15Right, OK.
28:18I'll wait outside.
28:21And we can talk it over while you're getting dressed.
28:38I'll see you next time.
28:50I'll be right back.
