TVTranscript
00:00Wanting to break up a happy family with two little boys who've never done any harm to me and who
00:03love their father.
00:04No, it's you I'm glad I've met.
00:16Listen, listen, my horoscope says the choice to assert yourself is your own prerogative.
00:23There, go on.
00:24Another rubbish.
00:27The ceiling's falling down!
00:30Hurry!
00:36Out front!
00:39Oh!
01:21Good morning, Mr. Hammond.
01:22Hi.
01:23They're pretty.
01:25Sorry?
01:26They're flowers.
01:27What are they?
01:28Search me.
01:30My oldest daughter picked them from her very own jar.
01:34How many kids have you got?
01:36Three.
01:37Old daughters.
01:38Oh, three girls.
01:39How lovely.
01:41Most people think we must have been trying for a son.
01:44Why?
01:45I don't know.
01:46Must be a barman.
01:47Do you want to take this for me?
01:49Yeah.
01:52Yeah.
01:57How are you feeling?
01:59Oh, fine.
02:01You don't have to be all British here, you know.
02:05Bloody horrible.
02:07I'm not surprised of all the things we've been doing to you.
02:11It's funny, you know, on Friday I went, I had all these jobs to do, crises, telephone
02:18calls.
02:20But now, I feel as though it's happened to somebody else.
02:25Do you know what I mean?
02:27Doesn't seem to matter anymore, does it?
02:30Do most people feel like that?
02:32Some of the heart cases, they go home when their whole lives have changed.
02:36One bloke left his wife and started a watercress farm.
02:40Watercress?
02:40I suppose it's sort of soothing, like watercress can't nag you, can it?
02:44Oh, I suppose you're right.
02:46You get some rest.
02:49Oh, well.
02:54Poor Dad.
02:56He's really frightened.
02:58Nothing's supposed to frighten one's father.
02:59He'll be all right.
03:00He'll just go on as if nothing's ever happened.
03:03Oh, will he?
03:04Yeah.
03:05Nothing's going to change that, man.
03:07No, maybe not.
03:09Bruton, something's happened.
03:11What?
03:13I've fallen in love.
03:16I've fallen in love.
03:17No, I can't.
03:17No, I can't.
03:17Wonderful.
03:18Yeah, it is right.
03:19Oh, wow.
03:21Who is it?
03:21Is it that guy in Africa?
03:22Is his name the Swede?
03:24No.
03:25Well, you just met him.
03:27Uh, yeah.
03:28Sort of.
03:29Come on.
03:30Where'd you meet him?
03:30What's he like?
03:31It's Erin.
03:34Erin?
03:35Yeah.
03:37Are you surprised?
03:40Oh, look.
03:42I don't know what to say.
03:43I'm not surprised.
03:45It's the least surprising thing that's ever happened.
03:47to me.
03:48In fact, it makes sense of everything.
03:51And I really wanted to tell you.
03:58Erin.
04:00Did this happen after my dinner party?
04:03She kissed me.
04:05It was like all my life I've been asleep and she woke me up.
04:09Have you been attracted to women before now?
04:13Sorry.
04:14Sounded like somebody off Channel 4.
04:16I mean, am I a lesbian or am I just in love with Erin?
04:19I don't know.
04:19I don't know anything.
04:21I'm just really, really, really happy.
04:31Don't tell Dad.
04:32Oh, God, no.
04:33Give him another heart attack.
04:36I don't believe her.
04:38I'm absolutely fascinated.
04:41I mean, what do we call her, Lesley?
04:44Or gay?
04:45I never know the right word for it.
05:09I never know the right word for it.
05:12Oh, yeah, horrible.
05:13Horrible mess.
05:14She's standing on her bodywork.
05:16I know I've lessen it, daughters, with her bloody hormones.
05:19Please, please.
05:40Hi.
05:41Hi there.
05:43Can you be at school?
05:44No, I'm doing my A-levels now.
05:46Studying hard, I see.
05:48I think better when I ride.
05:51Shoes okay?
05:52Yeah, they're fine, thanks.
05:55We've seen you then.
05:57Cheers.
05:59Bye.
06:03Right, Tina.
06:04Thank you, are you sure?
06:05Yeah.
06:06Right, Jenny Mitchell.
06:07Hello, yeah.
06:08And Nina Simone.
06:09I forgot that.
06:10I like women thinking about what a mess their life is.
06:12Is that because yours is so sorted out?
06:14I wish.
06:36So, she thinks you have Parkinson's.
06:38Can I describe her symptoms?
06:39Hello.
06:40Hello, love.
06:41Nice to see you.
06:42This is my wife, this is April, who's been looking after me.
06:44Oh, I'm pleased to meet you.
06:46I've heard a lot about you.
06:47He's doing very well, isn't he?
06:49He's doing great.
06:50We organised the ward.
06:51Oh, Gordon.
06:52Give him a few days, he'll have the whole hospital sorted out.
06:53He will.
06:54I'll get you a chair.
06:56It's a nice girl.
06:57Yeah, she is.
06:58Thank you very much.
07:01Yeah, she's just been telling me.
07:03Oh, books.
07:04She's living with this bloke.
07:06Bit of a box, obviously drinks alone.
07:09She's just been saying...
07:09All right, take it slowly, Gordon.
07:13It's okay.
07:15Now, you don't have to worry about a thing.
07:18I did the VAT last night and...
07:22Gordon?
07:24Yes.
07:25Are you all right?
07:29I nearly died.
07:31No, you didn't, love.
07:34You're gonna be fine.
07:36But when you get home, you're not gonna do a thing.
07:40No worries, no stress.
07:44And lots and lots of watercress.
07:46Uh-huh.
07:47No, it's just a bloke I heard about.
07:49Love me, love me, love me, say you do.
08:03Let me fly away with you.
08:12For my love is like the wind.
08:19And wild as a wind.
08:31Give me more than one caress.
08:45Satisfy this heart.
08:56Oh, er, excuse me, is April around?
08:58She's off today.
09:00Ah, only I, er, I just wanted to say goodbye.
09:02Er, shall I give her a message?
09:04No, no, that's fine.
09:05Um, thank you for everything.
09:33Yes, very nice, dear.
09:35Shall I order some garden gnomes for us?
09:38Oh, that would bring us luck.
09:39Your luck, we need it.
09:41Father has a heart attack.
09:42Sister becomes a lesbian.
09:44What else does fate have in store?
09:47Well, there's nothing wrong with being a lesbian.
09:49I know.
09:50I like having sex with women, too.
09:54Shut your eyes and wish, or something terrible will happen.
09:56Oh, ho, ho, ho.
10:14Editorial director's office, Trish speaking.
10:16How may I help you?
10:18Certainly.
10:19Prove, Stephen.
10:21Oh, great, thank you.
10:23Stephen, hello.
10:24Hi, I just wanted to be the first to call.
10:27How was it?
10:28Ah, it's Big Bear.
10:32Tom, they gave you my old job.
10:36Okay, it's not exactly the same job.
10:39Why didn't you tell me?
10:40It only happened yesterday.
10:41I wanted to ring you last night.
10:43Where are you?
10:44I'm outside.
10:45Where?
10:47Coinbox.
10:49Oh, great, come up.
10:50No, it's all right.
10:52Okay, I'm coming now.
10:53Go, no.
11:04Look, we're doing this.
11:10You were doing it.
11:12Who made it?
11:12Looks like I was thrown.
11:12All right?
11:15Watch it.
11:17Oh, I appreciate your Wentzes.
11:34I'll do everything.
11:35Yeah.
11:42All right, coming up now.
12:09If you can take that.
12:11All right, you're going, you say?
12:13I am going, don't you?
12:14Take it slowly, Gordon.
12:16Let me say goodbye.
12:27Oh, come on, love, it's stifling in here.
12:30Yeah, well, I turned the heating up.
12:32Look at all these.
12:35Feel dead already?
12:36Oh, Gordon, for God's sake.
12:39I'm sorry.
12:40I'll get a cup of tea.
12:42Yeah.
12:51You all right, my legs?
12:52No, you're all.
12:53Well, they're excellent.
12:56Hi.
12:57Hello, darling.
12:59You're back early.
13:00Had to get my clarinet.
13:02Oh, yeah.
13:03You sure you don't mind me coming to stay, Allegra?
13:05No.
13:06You can call me Ali if you like.
13:08I hope you stay longer than the last one.
13:12Bye.
13:13Come and get your clarinet.
13:14Bye.
13:15Bye.
13:20Gordon, please, sit down.
13:22I'm just trying to speak to Frank, well.
13:24Well, leave it.
13:25Nothing.
13:26Can only take a minute.
13:26Come on.
13:27Sit down.
13:29I am sick of sitting down.
13:34Gordon, I've been thinking a lot over the last few days.
13:37Oh, yes?
13:39I think you should retire.
13:43Retire?
13:44Yes.
13:44Frank can look after things.
13:45So, Frank is an alcoholic.
13:47All right.
13:47Well, let's sell up.
13:48Let's get shot at all this.
13:50It doesn't matter.
13:52None of it matters.
13:56Let's have a holiday.
13:58Have some fun.
14:01Let's be together, just the two of us.
14:05Well, we've got time.
14:07Hmm?
14:09Eh?
14:10No.
14:11Go on.
14:13Oh, it's a great read.
14:14My girlfriend couldn't put it down.
14:16She missed her stop.
14:16Ended up in Hounslow East.
14:18That's the reaction we're getting from everyone.
14:19The title goes here, playing with fire.
14:21Your name, here.
14:2334 point.
14:25Right, and these are supposed to be women's bodies, are they?
14:27Hmm.
14:29Well, people will spend so long trying to work out who's doing what the who, they'll end
14:31up buying the book.
14:34Yeah, but seriously, we're dead pleased with them.
14:36So, what do you think?
14:38Well, you know, my book's about language.
14:40It's about a woman's quest for freedom.
14:44Yeah, but there's a lot of bonking, too.
14:46Well, of course there's a lot of bonking.
14:47We want this book to sell, don't we?
14:49So, let's go for it.
14:52Okay.
14:54Great.
14:57So, how's Maddie?
14:59She's fine.
15:00She's fine.
15:01She's, uh, working with me now.
15:03Very good with plants.
15:05You must come round to dinner soon.
15:07It's, uh, it's all been absolutely chaotic over the last couple of months,
15:10what with my father and Lou.
15:15Maddie, Maddie seems very happy with you.
15:18Yes, she is.
15:20She's finally stopped running away.
15:22What from?
15:24From you, of course.
15:26Me?
15:29Yeah.
15:30What do you mean?
15:31You and your sister.
15:34Well, come on, Maddie's always felt inadequate compared to you two.
15:37Louie's so beautiful, you so clever.
15:39And your father hasn't helped much.
15:41No, she's a very, um, very damaged person.
15:50Bye.
15:51Goodbye.
15:51Bye-bye.
15:53Bye-bye.
15:54Let's go.
16:37I, uh, I was just passing out.
16:40I thought I'd be in this bike.
16:43You all right?
16:45Yeah, uh, do you want to come in?
16:50Is that all right?
16:52Yeah.
16:53Come on.
17:07What's been going on in here?
17:10Dennis.
17:13I saw him coming out of the gym with some woman.
17:17He got told us about looking at him.
17:20Anyway, we had a row.
17:22He's gone.
17:22He's doing this stuff.
17:25Why don't you sit down?
17:27Thanks.
17:30Do you want me to make a cup of tea or something?
17:33We're supposed to be resting.
17:35No, no, no.
17:36Fine, fine.
17:38Shouldn't you be at home?
17:39To be honest, I've been at home for four days.
17:42I've nearly gone by, haven't it?
17:46I'm glad you came.
17:47Nice.
17:48There's no problem.
17:53Do you want me to help me sort this place out?
17:56Oh, yeah.
18:07Hi.
18:08Hi.
18:10Shall we go and get a drink?
18:11Yeah.
18:13Good night.
18:20Welcome to the brave new world of publishing.
18:21No bloody pubs, no bloody anything.
18:24I bet you're glad you're out of it.
18:25No, actually.
18:27Sorry.
18:30God, it's been an awful day.
18:32And then Erin Fox came in and told me I damaged my sister because I'm too clever.
18:36I just like that woman on site.
18:38Oh, she seems to have Maddie in her thrall.
18:40Oh, I've seen my sister looking so radiant.
18:42Well, maybe it's better with a woman.
18:44I wouldn't know.
18:44I've forgotten what it's like with a man.
18:46Look, I've just lost my job.
18:48I've seen you get it, which is fine.
18:49I'm delighted for you.
18:51But I've just spent the last three weeks hawking myself around every publishing house in London.
18:55It's hardly the most chermessing of circumstances.
19:00My marriage is strained to breaking point.
19:05I can hardly get dressed in the morning.
19:17I can't stand all of this anymore.
19:20Everything seems to be going wrong.
19:22My father nearly died.
19:23You and I...
19:26Well, we're not really living at all.
19:27Oh, terrific.
19:28Well, we're not, are we?
19:29All we're doing is causing each other pain.
19:31And the pain is the only thing in our lives that seems real.
19:44Stephen.
19:49We've got to stop.
19:53You know that, don't you?
19:56Yeah.
20:00I'm just popping out, love.
20:02I shouldn't be too long.
20:03What?
20:04I'm just popping out.
20:06Oh, I thought we could go for a walk.
20:09A walk?
20:10Yes.
20:11You could drop in on Connie and Jim.
20:12We haven't seen them for months.
20:13They've got a new granddaughter.
20:15I'm sorry, love.
20:16I really can't.
20:17I've got to get into town.
20:18Why?
20:20I've got to deliver some paint to Lavender Hill.
20:23It's Sunday.
20:24Yeah, I know, but I just want to check it out.
20:26You see, I've got the decorators going in first thing in the morning.
20:29I, uh, I shan't be long.
20:31You're not supposed to drive yet!
20:58You're not supposed to drive yet!
21:13I asked you to come on a Sunday.
21:14It's an emergency, isn't it?
21:16Anyway, I'm booked up all next week.
21:18She's in there.
21:25Must have been one hell of a wrench.
21:27She tripped on something, then I had this clanking noise.
21:33When did I shoot her last?
21:35About five weeks ago.
21:37I've been doing a lot of writing.
21:39But I was trying to find that badger set.
21:42Badger set?
21:43You know the one you were telling me about?
21:45In Bocham Wood?
21:46I know the one.
21:48You said you'd show it to me.
21:50Did I know?
21:52Come on.
22:04I love badgers.
22:06Let's see about it, then.
22:07I mean, I'm free most evenings.
22:11Well, I go out quite a lot, you know, if I'm new in time.
22:16How old are you?
22:18Sixteen.
22:20Told you that before.
22:21I was sixteen-year-old.
22:23You should be staying at home doing your homework.
22:26Bet you never did.
22:28How'd you guess?
22:31Okay, then.
22:32How about tonight?
22:33At dusk?
22:35Yeah.
22:44Right, well, I don't think that'll shift.
22:47Shall I have a look in there?
22:49Okay.
22:54I thought I could build you a little cupboard for you to keep your videos and CDs in.
22:58Okay.
22:59And also, I'll sort out this damp patch here.
23:03You're wasted in your job.
23:04You should be running an army.
23:05Oh, I do.
23:06They're all deserters, though.
23:08Especially on Monday mornings.
23:13I used to make my daughters laugh.
23:15Well, don't they anymore?
23:16Not at my jokes.
23:18I'm a liability, as far as they're concerned.
23:21Why?
23:22Well, I'm a dad.
23:24All dads are in the wrong, aren't they?
23:28I wish I'd known mine.
23:32How do you mean?
23:34When I was six, he sent me his little pair of boots, red suede, really pretty.
23:41I couldn't get them on.
23:44I suppose I'd grown quicker than he realised.
23:48Last I heard he'd gone back to St. Kitts.
23:51How could he leave somebody like you?
23:53How could he leave somebody like you?
23:56I think about him sometimes.
23:59When I'm on nights, you've got time to think, then.
24:03It's like the whole world's asleep.
24:06Just me and these souls in my care.
24:10How upbeats jump in on the monitors.
24:14They're like all my children, and I've got them safe.
24:18Just for the night.
24:23I think about him then.
24:28Don't even know what he looks like.
24:30Don't even know what he looks like.
24:59What's the video?
25:00Not till you've tidied your room.
25:02Mum.
25:02It'll only take half an hour.
25:04I can't.
25:05The video can wait.
25:07That's the point of videos.
25:08Phone her up.
25:09I can't.
25:11Imogen!
25:18What have I done wrong?
25:19I've never liked that with my parents.
25:21I was nice and neat and tidy.
25:23I helped my mother.
25:25Laughed at my dad's jokes.
25:26Bollocks.
25:27No one laughed at your dad's jokes.
25:28I did?
25:29I bet that you were just like her.
25:51Hey, it was Gavin.
25:52Yeah, it's a really fast film.
25:56No flash, is it?
26:00Nice camera.
26:02Thanks.
26:03My dad's.
26:09They'll be coming out over there.
26:12A sow and a boar.
26:15Do they meet for life?
26:18They're not that stupid.
26:22Now, you do this whenever you feel the urge coming on.
26:27What? Like this?
26:29No, like this.
26:32My friend Brenda showed me there are these pressure points
26:34and this is the nicotine one.
26:36At least I think it is.
26:40Well, how long do I have to do this for?
26:43Till the urge goes away.
26:46It's getting worse.
26:47Concentrate. You're not trying.
26:49I am. I am. I'm trying.
26:51Come on. You do it.
26:54There.
26:56Now, you don't want a cigarette, do you?
26:59Yes.
27:00Ah, it's no good.
27:22I can't do this forever.
27:26Why not?
27:27It's growing attached to you.
27:30You might have to go around with me everywhere.
27:33We might get some funny looks.
27:43I've really got to go.
27:45Yeah.
27:52Love me, love me, love me, say you do.
28:05Let me fly away with you.
28:15For my love is like the wind.
28:23Why?
28:26I am the wind.
28:29The wind.
28:34Give me more than one caress.
28:48Satisfy this home, Renee
28:58Let the wind blow through your eyes
29:01Are you sure?
29:04Yeah, really?
29:08Well, you know the key is if I'm asleep
29:12Are you sure?
29:19You're sleeping like babies
29:22Yeah
29:25Bye
29:28Three coins in the fountain
29:30Through the ripples
29:32Now they shine
29:33Just ding, ding, ding, ding
29:37Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
30:00Where is he?
30:03What's the point of having a mobile if you keep it switched off?
30:09Do you want to have a look?
30:11Yeah
30:15There we are
30:17This is great
30:18Good

37:11Oh, Gordon, they're here.
37:16Gordon?
37:31So, this is where you grew up.
37:34South Caravan, we used to play in there when we were little.
37:37I see.
37:38The Pearly Queens.
37:40No man was safe.
37:45Ladies, can I tempt you?
37:48Cheers.
37:52Don't let on that Stephen's married, will you?
37:55Don't Mum and Dad know?
37:56Nope.
37:58Please, Maddy.
38:02Hi.
38:03Jamie.
38:03Stephen.
38:04Hi, Stephen, how are you doing?
38:05Fine.
38:06Good.
38:07How are you doing?
38:07Oh, there's Grandad.
38:13Where have you been?
38:15Go and do the drinks.
38:24You look different, Grandad.
38:26How do I look different?
38:28He's not looking after himself.
38:30I'm really worried about him.
38:32How do you feel?
38:33I'm fine, I'm fine.
38:34He's never here.
38:35He promised he wouldn't, but he's been worse than ever.
38:38I've told her we've got two labourers short.
38:41Our best chippy, he's gone off sick.
38:43And our chief plasterer, well, he's buggered off completely.
38:47Pardon his French.
38:48Is he the, uh, the one with the love nest?
38:51Yes, he's got these two families.
38:53He has the weekends with one of them, and the weekdays with the other.
38:58The energy of the man.
39:00Well, he has to admire it.
39:01Dad's parents have very complicated love lives, and Mum's their mother confessor.
39:06Anyway, I've decided that he needs a proper holiday, so I've got some brochures, and we
39:12thought we'd go away for Christmas.
39:14Well, you're not going to have Christmas with us, no?
39:16Lucky sods.
39:17Jamie, where are you going to go?
39:19Oh, we thought Bermuda.
39:20Wow.
39:21Dad, he's full of blacks.
39:23My day.
39:24Or wogs, as our father would say.
39:27Only to wind you up.
39:28He's not really racist, honestly.
39:35What a charming man.
39:37Why have you been keeping him so quiet?
39:40Well, it's kind of awkward, really.
39:43He was my boss.
39:44And then he got the sack, and I got his job.
39:47Oh, that's who it is.
39:49Yeah.
39:50He's been out of work for over a month now.
39:52There's absolutely nothing around.
39:54He thinks he's too old, which is complete nonsense, of course.
39:58But he's feeling desperate, and he'd do anything.
40:01Boring, dirty, mindless.
40:03Well, why'd you come out for Grandad?
40:05Well, he said he was short of people.
40:10Right, boy.
40:26Oh, no, no, no, no.
40:29Get me.
40:37What's in the middle?
40:44Quick.
40:47Bendix.
40:49Double cream.
40:50Whipping cream.
40:52Butter.
40:53Humble sauce.
40:55Honey.
40:56Blimey, Mum.
40:58I forgot to ask if Erin's a vegetarian.
41:00I bet she is.
41:01Why?
41:01Because she's a lesbian.
41:02Just because she looks like one.
41:04What, a lesbian?
41:05A vegetarian.
41:05Yeah.
41:07The granny and grandad know.
41:08I've got to have a fit, anyway.
41:09We're not going to be here.
41:11See ya.
41:12Marmalade.
41:13Raspberry jam.
41:15Marmalade.
41:17Coffee.
41:37Hello, Tim.
41:38Hello.
41:39Hello, darling.
41:40Hi.
41:41I forgot the sugar lumps for your dad's champagne cocktails.
41:44So what are you doing for Christmas, then?
41:46Oh, quiet.
41:48Just myself and Margot.
41:50Christmas is always a tricky time for her.
41:53I think we'll sell up in the new year.
41:55We should be moving on, anyway.
41:57You can't close.
41:59I'll organise a campaign.
42:00Support our village shop.
42:02Jeppocrat.
42:03How do you have more fresh stuff?
42:05Organic vegetables and things.
42:07You need the turnover.
42:08Last week, we had to eat up all the pork pies.
42:10Why?
42:11Because they were past their sell-by date.
42:13Oh, I know the feeling.
42:14How can you think that?
42:17You need a lift.
42:18Uh, no.
42:19Well, thanks.
42:20Have our pen.
42:34Do you know why I love you?
42:37Um, no idea.
42:40Because you make me laugh?
42:42Good.
42:43I don't trust you.
42:45Right.
42:49Anything else?
42:51You fixed my video for me.
42:54That doesn't sound too, uh, exciting.
42:57It is exciting.
42:58Believe me.
43:04Right, then.
43:07It's only two weeks.
43:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:09Yeah.
43:13It's strange.
43:16I feel like I'm in this boat, pulling away from the shore.
43:21And when I look back, there's this person waving and shouting at me.
43:27I can't hear what they're saying.
43:29But it's, it's her.
43:34And she's getting smaller all the time.
43:39That's the truth of it.
43:40I mean, I can't help it.
43:47I've gone from there.
43:50I'm here with you now.
43:58Take care of yourself.
44:00Go back safe to me.
44:03Of course I will.
44:07I'd better leave you.
44:10But I'm there.
44:13I'll keep this.
44:22Okay.
44:26Hey.
44:28Enjoy yourself.
44:30You too.
44:31Okay.
44:40Let's pray.
44:41Let's pray.
44:46Bye.
44:47Bye.
44:52Bye.
46:24It's not too young for me, is it?
46:26Ooh, should I wear something else?
46:29Come on, get cracking. We've got to leave in ten minutes.
46:32No, I think it looks quite nice. Don't you?
46:57I love you.
46:58I love you.
47:02I love you.
47:16You must be here.
47:18Welcome.
47:24Raise your glasses, please.
47:28This is to us.
47:29And a happy Christmas.
47:31Happy Christmas.
47:32Happy Christmas.
47:34Here's to you.
47:36Lovely to have you here.
47:39And here's to you.
47:41And you.
47:42I like this house.
47:45And here's to your book.
47:47Prudence lent it to me.
47:48I loved it.
47:49Oh, great.
47:49Thanks.
47:50But you don't read books.
47:52Not unless they're heavily disguised as copies of options.
47:55Shut up.
47:57I read hers.
47:58Sorry.
47:59I don't...
48:00What could that be?
48:01It's Father Christmas.
48:04He always brings me socks.
48:06Purple ones with little golf clubs.
48:08And here's to Mum and Dad.
48:10At this very moment, 30,000 feet up.
48:12Struggling to open their peck of dry roasted peanuts.
48:15I'm hearing the distant tinkle of the drinks, Charlie.
48:17Well, maybe they're toasting us.
48:19They said they would.
48:19Here's to Mum and Dad in their second honeymoon.
48:21Mum and Dad.
48:23They mean it.
48:23They deserve it.
48:31Mum, what's happened?
48:32He's left me.
48:59He's left me.
49:02Lord, God bless.
49:04God bless.
49:13Good evening.
