00:00:07Which one, which one will it be?
00:00:32Oh, I am so sorry. I do beg your pardon.
00:00:36You don't even have nothing to face.
00:00:37Hello. Fancy bumming into you.
00:00:40What is it? Who do you think?
00:00:41You're the last person I expected to see.
00:00:43What are you talking about?
00:00:45Oh, I know it's been a long time. You've forgotten me, haven't you?
00:00:48Not here, yes, I have.
00:00:49Well, I know it's been a long time since we last met.
00:00:51I've never met you.
00:00:53Oh, but surely you recall, sir. We met a deal, wasn't it?
00:00:56It must have...
00:00:57What's my name?
00:00:58What?
00:00:58My name? What then is my name?
00:01:00Sam, Samuel Coleridge.
00:01:02No, it isn't.
00:01:03Oh, I do beg your pardon, sir. I could have...
00:01:05Samuel Taylor Coleridge, isn't it?
00:01:07No, no, I suggest you leave out of my way and allow me to...
00:01:11What do you say?
00:01:12Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
00:01:16But he's...
00:01:18Now, look here.
00:01:20I, uh...
00:01:21Do you read poetry, then? Shall we talk about poetry?
00:01:23Or music, or sport, or demons, sir?
00:01:26How about demons?
00:01:27Excuse me.
00:01:29Goodbye.
00:01:29I know a lot about demons, sir.
00:01:32Can't you smell the sulfur?
00:01:39There resides infinitely more good in the demonic man than in the trivial.
00:01:45Kierkegaard.
00:01:57Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:01:59I think I've...
00:02:00No, no, my...
00:02:00Well, well, well, good heavens above.
00:02:04What is it?
00:02:05My, my, how are you?
00:02:07Yes, I am.
00:02:08Oh, you've forgotten me, haven't you?
00:02:10No, no, it's just that I, um...
00:02:13Well, yes, I have the matter of fact.
00:02:15A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
00:02:20Andrew.
00:02:21Anyway, how are you?
00:02:22I'm fine, fine.
00:02:23It's been a long time, hasn't it?
00:02:25Good gracious me, yes.
00:02:26Long time, yes.
00:02:28Are you still at the same place?
00:02:29At North British Shore?
00:02:31No, no, no, no, I meant, um...
00:02:32Oh, Arkenfield Street, yes.
00:02:34Avenue, right?
00:02:34Avenue, yes.
00:02:36Dear me.
00:02:36Still there, now.
00:02:37Oh, yes.
00:02:38Same old place.
00:02:40It's a bit too big for us now, of course.
00:02:42Yes, yes.
00:02:44You must be...
00:02:45You've got it now.
00:02:47A friend of Patricia.
00:02:48You've placed me now, haven't you?
00:02:49Yes.
00:02:51And how is dear, uh, Patricia?
00:02:58How is she?
00:03:00Well, she, um...
00:03:02Well, of course, she'll never be there.
00:03:05But we've got her at home now, and we do our best for her.
00:03:08Yes, I'm sure you do.
00:03:10Her mother finds it all a bit of a strain, of course.
00:03:12Well, that's understandable, isn't it?
00:03:13Very understandable, yes.
00:03:18Well, I must trot along.
00:03:20It's nice meeting you.
00:03:21Um, Martin.
00:03:21Um, Martin.
00:03:22Yes, very nice indeed.
00:03:23Martin Taylor.
00:03:24Martin Taylor.
00:03:25Yes, I seem to remember Patricia mentioning your name.
00:03:28The art...
00:03:29School, yes.
00:03:29College?
00:03:30College, yes.
00:03:32She was very happy there.
00:03:33Very happy indeed.
00:03:37Well, I must be...
00:03:38I'd rather like to see her again, you know?
00:03:40It's strange how people lose contact with her.
00:03:42See her?
00:03:43We'll talk over old times.
00:03:44She can't talk.
00:03:46Oh.
00:03:48He thought she would after the accident.
00:03:50I mean, um, the doctor thought she would too.
00:03:52My God, I didn't realize.
00:03:53Now she's just a vegetable.
00:03:55No.
00:03:56No.
00:03:57I thought you knew about it.
00:03:58You said that you were a friend of her.
00:03:59Well, I've been away, you see.
00:04:01For two years.
00:04:01America.
00:04:02I went to the United...
00:04:03I thought you knew.
00:04:04Well, most of her friends decided to abandon her.
00:04:07Not that one can entirely blame them.
00:04:09Abandoned her?
00:04:09She's not exactly sparking company anymore.
00:04:11But I loved her.
00:04:13Right?
00:04:13I wanted to marry her.
00:04:16Yes, well, if you'll excuse me.
00:04:17So, she didn't want me.
00:04:19No?
00:04:20So I went away, you see.
00:04:21I expect she told you I went to the States.
00:04:23I see.
00:04:23I'm not a fair-weather friend.
00:04:25I only heard about...
00:04:26Oh.
00:04:27What is it?
00:04:28Oh, oh, oh, oh, hi.
00:04:29Oh, goodness.
00:04:30Oh, please.
00:04:31Oh, no.
00:04:31Oh, please.
00:04:33Help.
00:04:33Quick, someone.
00:04:38Oh, I...
00:04:42Oh, I...
00:04:45Oh, I...
00:05:09get him home. Thank you all for helping me. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. It's just like a clap
00:05:22of thunder the way it suddenly comes over me. I'm awfully sorry. Could you hail me a taxi, do you
00:05:28think? To take me to my hotel. Hotel? I'm so sorry, but I can't just put you in a cab.
00:05:35Easiest thing really is. Do you think you can walk at all? Just a little way.
00:05:39See, my car's round the corner. Oh, is it? Well, it's only just two or three hundred yards. No, thank
00:05:45you. It's really... But it's still, look, why don't you wait here and I'll bring the car round. Yes, that
00:05:50would be best. Look, I won't be on in a few minutes. You just wait there, old son. Thank you.
00:05:54You just hang on there. Thank you very much. Hang on there. And I won't be... I'll be right back.
00:05:58Bye-bye. Ready? It's...
00:06:24Sick, sick people in metal boxes. They don't know the taste of blood in their mouths.
00:06:31They don't know the glory of the hunt as I know it, as demons know it. I must buy some
00:06:38mints to hide the smell of sulphur.
00:06:41I've got him. Got him.
00:06:54Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
00:06:58This is not coming back.
00:07:07How very stupid, Mr. Bates. How very stupid, Mr. Thomas James Bates.
00:07:18All right, Mr. Bates.
00:07:20Good seeing you.
00:07:26I'm very sorry, Tom.
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:32I did try, really, you know.
00:07:35Oh, yes. I'm sure you did.
00:07:36Oh, Patricia, it was very difficult this afternoon.
00:07:38I had a terrible headache, just as though there was a stone rolling about inside my brain.
00:07:43There was no time left.
00:07:47Wasn't there anything in the freezer, then?
00:07:49Well, not to thaw and cook on time.
00:07:52I do work quite hard, you know.
00:07:55I mean, it's not entirely unreasonable to expect a cooked meal when I get in, is it?
00:07:59Well, is it?
00:08:03Please don't raise your voice, Tom.
00:08:06I'm not for all. This isn't as if it's the first time it's happened, is it?
00:08:09Well, is it?
00:08:10It's the second, actually.
00:08:12Look, it's more than that.
00:08:13Oh, please, Tom, it upsets Patty when you raise your voice.
00:08:17It'd be ridiculous.
00:08:18How can she can't tell when I'm...
00:08:19Oh, she knows what goes on.
00:08:21At least she knows when you're angry and when I'm sad.
00:08:24Well, that's not possible.
00:08:26Well, listen to her, then.
00:08:29I mean, if she responds to our moods and therefore, in some sense, understands.
00:08:39God above, is it possible that she comprehends more than she can communicate?
00:08:43Yes, I'm sure of it.
00:08:45Yeah.
00:08:46Oh, but that's horrible.
00:08:47No, it's a sign of improvement.
00:08:50A change.
00:08:52It shows that doctors don't know everything like they pretend they do.
00:08:56It's horrible.
00:08:57Horrible.
00:08:57Oh, no, no, shh.
00:08:59You have to be caged up.
00:09:02Cooped up inside your own head so that you're unable to...
00:09:06Eat your sandwiches, Tom.
00:09:08Do you know, that's always been one of the worst sort of nightmares for me.
00:09:13Don't, Tom.
00:09:14I mean, it's like being under an anesthetic so that you're completely paralyzed.
00:09:21As far as everyone else is concerned, I mean, you're out.
00:09:24You're right out.
00:09:25But all the time, you can hear what they're saying.
00:09:31All the time, you can see the sharp, shiny weapon in the surgeon's meaty hand.
00:09:39And no matter what they do, however much it hurts, there's simply no way of letting them
00:09:45know that you're not unconscious.
00:09:47No way.
00:09:48I mean, oh, I don't want to...
00:09:51I don't want...
00:09:52Would you like some fruit and cheese?
00:09:54I don't want to eat.
00:09:55I don't...
00:09:55You're not looking at it in the right way, Tom.
00:09:59The right way?
00:10:01The right way?
00:10:02Well, I spend much more time with Patty than you do, and I notice many more things,
00:10:06little things.
00:10:06I think I know what I'm talking about.
00:10:08There's no right way about any of this, Amy, and there hasn't been for two years.
00:10:23There is no God, and there are no miracles.
00:10:35I think there's a different sort of expression in her eyes nowadays.
00:10:39There's a light in her eyes from inside.
00:10:42I mean, a definite light.
00:10:44A light?
00:10:45What do you mean, a light?
00:10:47What are you talking about?
00:10:48Well, I know what I mean.
00:10:49A light, a definite human light.
00:10:51As if something in her was trying to come back to us.
00:10:54Yeah, I...
00:10:56Patricia has gone from us, Amy.
00:10:59She's gone forever.
00:11:01You must accept it.
00:11:04I'll make your coffee.
00:11:06I won't be a minute, Patty.
00:11:08Don't do that, please.
00:11:09Don't do that.
00:11:10But I will.
00:11:11It's wicked to act as though she's not here.
00:11:13Amy, listen, please.
00:11:14And it's wicked, wicked, very wicked to say that she's gone from us forever.
00:11:45One man...

00:12:05used to rock you to sleep with that old you've gone you've gone haven't you far far away

00:12:39we mustn't lock ourselves away so completely Tom what we mustn't ruin our life

00:20:46I think she does too
00:20:48don't be ridiculous
00:20:49she's only a vegetable
00:20:50we don't know enough about the human mind
00:20:52none of us knows what goes on
00:20:54inside the head do we
00:20:55or the heart mrs bates
00:20:56we have to face reality
00:20:58we have to see things as they are
00:20:59I mean do you think I want to
00:21:01I never did find the driver you know
00:21:03hit and run you see
00:21:05he should be hung up on a steel rope
00:21:08two years ago last Tuesday fortnight
00:21:12all I hope is that whoever did it
00:21:13dies full of cancer
00:21:15screaming his head off
00:21:18it was kind of you to bring my wallet
00:21:19back to me
00:21:20but if you want to get back into town
00:21:22at anything like a reasonable hour
00:21:23perhaps you'd better
00:21:25yes of course
00:21:26but you haven't finished your coffee
00:21:29oh but I have almost
00:21:30and deeply appreciated it was
00:21:31I can assure you
00:21:32oh
00:21:33anything wrong
00:21:36er no it's
00:21:37it's nothing at all
00:21:39you did faint
00:21:41did you say
00:21:42I mean
00:21:42well I suppose I'd better be
00:21:44wending my way
00:21:45well if you're sure
00:21:46you're not feeling ill or anything
00:21:47did patty never mention me to you
00:21:48mrs bates
00:21:50no
00:21:51oh
00:21:52well she had so many
00:21:53so very many friends
00:21:55from school
00:21:55and the art college
00:21:56and the tennis club
00:21:57and the dramatic society
00:21:58it's just
00:22:00it's just that I wasn't
00:22:01one of her many friends
00:22:03oh dear
00:22:04well we don't remember
00:22:05every single name
00:22:06she talked about
00:22:07she knew so many people
00:22:08she was such a lively
00:22:10friendly girl
00:22:10but we
00:22:12she and I
00:22:13but it doesn't seem to matter
00:22:14very much one way or the other
00:22:15now does it
00:22:16you and patricia were
00:22:18what
00:22:20I can't say with total confidence
00:22:22exactly what I was to her
00:22:23she cannot speak for herself
00:22:25so I must be scrupulously honest
00:22:26in this house
00:22:28but as for what I felt
00:22:30go on
00:22:32I thought she was the most
00:22:34exquisite being in the world
00:22:36and yes
00:22:38she will always be for me
00:22:40the girl the songs sing about
00:22:42the girl with eyes like
00:22:44fallen stars
00:22:44that look up to their place
00:22:46in the heavens
00:22:48oh patricia
00:22:50you are never
00:22:51absent from my sweetest dreams
00:22:56you can't know
00:22:57what you're saying
00:22:58perhaps he does
00:22:59will you let me stay with her
00:23:01but that's not possible
00:23:03how do you mean martin
00:23:04I mean stay
00:23:05for a while
00:23:06for patricia
00:23:07and for you
00:23:09it's not really
00:23:10it's not particularly convenient
00:23:12at the moment
00:23:13the plain truth is
00:23:15I once dared
00:23:17to ask patricia
00:23:18to be my bride
00:23:19oh
00:23:20and she
00:23:21turned me down
00:23:23not altogether surprised
00:23:24Tom how very rude
00:23:25to be more accurate
00:23:26Sarah
00:23:26she asked me to wait
00:23:27for three years
00:23:28till my prospects
00:23:29had improved
00:23:30and she had had time
00:23:31to put her thoughts
00:23:31in order
00:23:32she never told us
00:23:34anything about all this
00:23:35isn't that surprising
00:23:36to me
00:23:36yes it is
00:23:37but she was
00:23:38fond of you
00:23:40was she martin
00:23:41she said so
00:23:41and I believe so
00:23:43I loved her
00:23:44I always will
00:23:45but you never wrote
00:23:50while you were in america
00:23:51we agreed not to communicate
00:23:52until the period of separation
00:23:54and consideration
00:23:54was finished
00:23:56and now that you've seen her
00:23:58and you've seen her
00:23:58terrible
00:23:59now that I've seen her
00:24:01mrs. Bates
00:24:01I know at last
00:24:02a certain
00:24:04a certain peace
00:24:06peace
00:24:06peace
00:24:08the quietitude
00:24:09that falls upon a soul
00:24:10when it meets
00:24:11and recognizes
00:24:12ordained destiny
00:24:14I know now
00:24:14that my love
00:24:15has not been in vain
00:24:16I know that I can serve
00:24:18patty

00:24:38about love
00:24:39and destiny

00:31:07Margie?
00:31:18Margie, it's just gone nine o'clock. I brought you a cup of...
00:31:21Oh, you startled me.
00:31:24Oh, good morning.
00:31:26I thought you'd like a cup of tea. I did knock.
00:31:30Oh, tea. Oh, yes. Oh, thank you.
00:31:35Oh, I'm awfully sorry. I was having the strangest dream.
00:31:38A dream? A bad dream?
00:31:39Yes. I bent to pick up a whimpering little dog with a thorn in its paw.
00:31:44And as I got hold of it, all the hair came out in my hands,
00:31:47and its eyeballs changed colour and fell out at my feet like squashy marbles.
00:31:52Oh, dear. How awful.
00:31:53Yes. I'm an animal lover, too.
00:31:56I hope the bed wasn't to blame.
00:31:59Oh, no. It was beautifully comfortable.
00:32:01Good.
00:32:02You didn't have any sugar in your coffee last night, so I didn't put you in the...
00:32:06Good. No sugar. Very well done.
00:32:10Excellent. Superbly brewed.
00:32:11Well, we don't use tea bags, you see.
00:32:13Oh, I can tell. I can tell you're not that sort of lady at all.
00:32:16It's just gone nine.
00:32:18Is it really now?
00:32:19Still, we were very late last night, weren't we?
00:32:21A nice little chat, wasn't it?
00:32:22Lovely.
00:32:25I'm sorry you had to sleep in your shirt.
00:32:27Oh, I don't mind that. It's not very hygienic, though, is it?
00:32:33I hope you liked the room. I've kept it just as Patty left it.
00:32:38I can feel her personality, her presence in every detail.
00:32:43She was such a lovely girl.
00:32:45Was Mrs. Bates?
00:32:47Well, I mean...
00:32:47Is Mrs. Bates? Or shall I call you Mumsy?
00:32:51Well, I...
00:32:51You see, my own dear mother has passed on to the far distant shore.
00:32:57She is with Jesus.
00:32:59Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:33:01She went to be with my father.
00:33:03He went on ahead when his cigarette lighter blew up.
00:33:06Pardon?
00:33:08Gas, you see.
00:33:10Has Mr. Bates left for the office, or is he still...
00:33:13Yes, he's just gone.
00:33:15Worried about leaving you alone in the house with me, was he?
00:33:18Where are you?
00:33:19But you told him not to be such a silly Billy, didn't you?
00:33:22Well, he's a very private sort of person.
00:33:26There's nothing wrong, is there?
00:33:27Well, Mr. Bates...
00:33:29What about him?
00:33:29Does he want me to go?
00:33:31But he's very worried this morning about what he told you last night.
00:33:35The National Front.
00:33:37Pardon?
00:33:38Well, he always talks rather a lot when he's had a glass of sherry.
00:33:41I don't think he wants anyone to know he's joined the National Front.
00:33:43Not yet, anyway.
00:33:44Oh, is that all?
00:33:47Well, you can tell Mr. Bates he has nothing to worry about.
00:33:50Oh, God.
00:33:50I shan't breathe a word to a living soul.
00:33:52Well, you see, we still send things to the Conservative Party.
00:33:55Old clothes and so on.
00:33:57They need that sort of thing, do they?
00:33:59The jumble sale.
00:34:01Oh!
00:34:01Well, Mr. Bates has nothing to worry about.
00:34:04Nothing at all.
00:34:05Only he didn't sleep very well last night.
00:34:07He worries so much about what people think of him.
00:34:09But I told him not to be silly.
00:34:11You're on my side though, aren't you?
00:34:13I'm sure you wouldn't wish any harm to any of us.
00:34:16I think you're a very nice young man.
00:34:19Please.
00:34:24Well, what shall we do today, Mumsy?
00:34:27Pardon?
00:34:28More to the point, what will you do today?
00:34:30Me?
00:34:31Oh, but...
00:34:31Stroll around the shops, have your hair done, go to the afternoon pictures.
00:34:34You choose.
00:34:35Well, I can't go out.
00:34:37Can't go out?
00:34:38Why ever not?
00:34:38Well, Patty, you see, she's asleep now, but she can never be left.
00:34:42Then why am I here?
00:34:44You, but...
00:34:45I'm quite capable of looking after dear Patty.
00:34:48You just tell me what to do, eh?
00:34:50Well, I don't think that...
00:34:51No, no problem, lovey.
00:34:52No problem at all.
00:34:53Well, I don't think Tom would like...
00:34:57But he's not here, is he?
00:35:00Well...
00:35:03We'll talk about it after you've had your breakfast and got your things.
00:35:07My things?
00:35:07From your hotel.
00:35:08Oh, yes.
00:35:09My things.
00:35:10Don't let your tea get cold.
00:35:11Oh, you know where the bathroom is?
00:35:12Yes, thank you.
00:35:14Very nice tea.
00:35:20If you like that sort of thing.
00:35:23If.
00:35:26Oh, yes?
00:35:28Well, that doesn't seem too difficult.
00:35:31I really can't expect you to...
00:35:33Go on, Mumsy.
00:35:34You go on out for an hour.
00:35:36Well, it doesn't seem right.
00:35:38You know you want to.
00:35:40Well, perhaps if I just went and had a shampoo and sip.
00:35:43It'd be a treat for you.
00:35:45My hair, you can never do it yourself properly, I don't think.
00:35:48Of course you can't.
00:35:53She does seem very quiet today.
00:35:57Well, if you're really sure you can manage, Marty, I would like to get her out of the house.
00:36:00Of course I can manage.
00:36:02Will you have it cut, too?
00:36:03My hair, do you think, sir?
00:36:05Well, you've got very pretty hair, you see.
00:36:07Just needs to be a little, er...
00:36:09A little shorter.
00:36:10Well, that's the fashion, you see, lovely.
00:36:13Won't spoil the contours of your face if it's not quite so long.
00:36:17You've got a very pretty face, you see.
00:36:19Well, it was once, perhaps, and not even more.
00:36:22No, a very pretty face.
00:36:24Delicate.
00:36:26Sensitive.
00:36:27You just need to take a little more care of yourself, that's all.
00:36:30A very pretty face.
00:36:32Well, I will go, just for a little while.
00:36:34That's a good girl.
00:36:36I'd better do the beds first, though.
00:36:37No, no, you don't.
00:36:39Well, but, Martin, I can't...
00:36:40Don't dilly-dally now, ducky.
00:36:42Go on out through the front door, take your chance.
00:36:45Everything will be fine, you just see.
00:36:46Well, I'll leave her face.
00:36:48I'll wash Patty when I come back, Martin.
00:36:50She has been changed.
00:36:52Now, just go, hmm?
00:36:53You seem frightened of going out.
00:36:55That's what comes of being locked away for such a long time.
00:36:57Gets to be like a disease, doesn't it?
00:37:00You're a very kind and a very considerate young man.
00:37:03And you are a very brave lady.
00:37:13The dish.
00:37:14Who's the dish?
00:37:15Bye-bye, Martin.
00:37:17Bye-bye, Patty.
00:37:19Bye-bye.
00:37:20Bye-bye.
00:37:20Bye-bye.
00:37:21I thought the silly old car was never gonna go.
00:37:30Now the time has come to see what will happen
00:37:36Twixt you and me, you'll find the devil is hard to beat.
00:37:43You're at his mercy, my little sweet.
00:37:50If you are a nervous type out there, switch over or off for some calmer air.
00:37:56But you have to be smug or very frail to believe that no man has a horn or tail.
00:38:06Come on then, my lovely.
00:38:08Time for eaty-weeties.
00:38:10And we'll have a good snoop around the old homestead, huh?

00:51:58oh what about it
00:51:59i mean you've had it done
00:52:01oh tom
00:52:03you've been saying you went out of the house and left patty with um
00:52:07i looked after her sir
00:52:08what
00:52:08i considered it a great privilege i want to help look after her
00:52:12but i mean you you didn't um
00:52:14you didn't wash her or change her
00:52:18of course not top
00:52:20that wouldn't be wrong though would it
00:52:22well i mean she's a young woman
00:52:24and you are a young man
00:52:27well i don't imagine for one moment
00:52:29her brain may be damaged but her body
00:52:31is that of an attractive young woman
00:52:35but what if i were a doctor or a male nurse even
00:52:38now that would be different
00:52:39you see and you're not
00:52:41i see
00:52:43oh i i don't think tom means
00:52:44i i've got it
00:52:45someone who loves her
00:52:47who cares about her
00:52:48who would give up everything for her
00:52:49is somehow less trustworthy than some harris doctor
00:52:53or an even overworked or possibly even quite callous nurse
00:52:56is that what you're saying sir
00:52:57i've never said that at all
00:52:59then what did you mean
00:53:00he means that it would be indecent for me to see her poor helpless body
00:53:04and obscene for me to help make her more comfortable
00:53:06and lewd and disgusting
00:53:09oh oh martin are you
00:53:10i'm not suggesting anything like that at all
00:53:13good gracious me
00:53:14i didn't think you had that sort of mind tom
00:53:18oh martin don't take it too much to heart
00:53:21i mean he's got hold of the wrong end of the stick
00:53:23oh how could you how could you
00:53:25christ almighty

00:54:10you ought to be ashamed of yourself
00:54:12prayers what are prayers what are you saying what are you saying what can prayers do for patty more than
00:54:20any other single thing in this world you might as well pray for the recovery of a vegetable i mean

00:54:58have looked twice at a mealy-mouthed pasty face and then he'd like
00:55:04that's near enough to the truth mr bates
00:55:08but she did promise to think it over patty did respect me sir you can be sure of that
00:55:13but i can't pretend i was ever the answer to her dreams
00:55:16oh martin he didn't mean

00:55:33well i'm not exactly saying i i mistrust you it's just that well we really don't know anything at
00:55:39all about you know amy that's the truth it really is oh you were just the same with patty's friends
00:55:45when she was just the same i was not always cross-examining them always trying to make them feel
00:55:50uncomfortable nonsense us being a father to her well what about susan then i've really had no idea
00:55:56what you mean susan was a friend of patricia's she was rather a well she came from a poorer class
00:56:02of home
00:56:03but that didn't matter patricia was very fond of her but he had her down on her right from the
00:56:08start oh she was such a good-looking girl no no that that's not that's not so no well you
00:56:12even
00:56:12went around to the girl's bed sitter to have it out with her the night the patty well the night

00:56:22out to go there i don't want to talk about it why are you so embarrassed sir you didn't happen
00:56:28to
00:56:28know susan by any chance did you martin beautiful was she the name is familiar but she didn't go to
00:56:35the art college she was in the amateur dramatics with patty oh very good she was too she played a
00:56:41a prostitute in the last thing that they were in together a tall dark-haired girl with lovely white

00:56:53slut what a
00:56:54friend of patricia's i happen to know what i'm talking about do just you take my word for it

00:57:10didn't go around to see that girl oh maybe not but you're as good as told patty you were that's
00:57:13why she
00:57:14went around there i didn't tell her well that's why she went around there that night to stop you

00:57:59two

00:58:14their indoor plants even what they do i heard it on the wireless on gardeners question time but that's
00:58:21ridiculous no they said i mean you're not telling me a poinsettia perks up if you're telling the football

00:59:23a husband and a
00:59:24wife unaware of the bitterness that is growing between them and which might destroy them i see a good
00:59:30woman worn down to exhaustion and despair by her labor and her imprisonment i see a poor young girl
00:59:37whose only hope of any semblance of humanity lies in the loving care of someone young enough strong
00:59:43enough brave enough devoted enough and free enough me but since you have set your face against it
00:59:52so be it it is your house no please don't go straight away martin not tonight
