08:12how many weeks is she 31
08:16yet your babies are born early
08:18i should have made her go this afternoon the baby might not even be born today these things can take
08:23a while all right yeah hey josh look i'm sorry about before it's just
08:33patrick he's been through such a lot yeah yeah the last thing i would want is to make things any
08:38worse
08:38yeah and i'm i'm sure you must have a million questions and it must seem like patrick's the only
08:45person that can answer most of them but he's an old man who's lost two sons
08:53and losing ball
08:57that almost killed him losing anthony
09:00he told me he told me it sounds horrible five minutes ago he was loading anthony's voice onto an app
09:08so he could talk to him again look
09:13patrick is the strongest man i have ever met in my life
09:19but we're all fragile too sometimes you know
09:24so don't take this personally darling but get your answer somewhere else okay
09:49peace offering lace with arsenic is it
09:56i'm
09:58i'm really sorry about your nose i mean i never meant to hurt you
10:04and what we uh talked about all the uh ridiculous things you've done
10:12we've done
10:14must be an eye open now hearing it laid out like that
10:18well as the kids would say i haven't uh i haven't been my best self lately
10:24me neither
10:27i haven't been my best self for quite a while
10:31when i think of where i was this time last year
10:35no um it can't be easy can it i mean going from running the queen victor
10:42changing people's sheets
10:45that better be ian speak for running a thriving business
10:48well i've had more regrets than most i should think so i mean you took cindy back how many times
10:54i'm trying to be nice here
10:57at least for you and george i mean you have managed to stay friends i mean it's got to count
11:01for something
11:03don't know for what
11:06i thought we had the most perfect life all planned out and it was gone within the blink of an
11:11eye
11:12and i've spent nearly 40 years chasing a woman who who only wants to humiliate me
11:20but the council thing must give you a bit of an ego boost yeah
11:25am i not transparent just a bit but i'm not much better am i
11:34do you know what goes well with chips
11:38booze
11:45i don't need to be on the labor ward yet i haven't had a contraction in half an hour
11:50things can slow down once you get to hospital they'll soon kick in again yeah or not i know
11:55this is happening a bit sooner than you were expecting but sometimes baby has other ideas george
12:00will you tell her just let her do her job nikola the consultant will be along as soon as they
12:06can
12:06in the meantime i'm just outside the door all right thank you for keeping her calm i know 31 weeks
12:15is early but it's nothing that we haven't seen before keep going on the gas and air all right
12:29okay go on then my help no i hate that stuff it's not proper painkillers it just makes me feel
12:34sick
12:36it's okay to accept help you know it doesn't make you look weak yeah i know that
12:44i'm so stupid don't say that no um i spent the whole time worrying about getting piles and moaning
12:51about my fat ankles and my swollen boobs and now i'm gonna have a premature baby and she's gonna be
12:57tiny shame ready george and she's gonna be born in exactly the right place yeah but what if

13:15saying common all right well come on let's see yours then you must have some name rattling around
