00:28Yes?
00:31On my way.
01:00On my way.
01:38Hi.
01:40I brought the...
02:38Oh, my God.
02:41Oh, my Jesus.
03:03Oh, my God.
03:05Yes, or good morning, possibly.
03:09I'm in bed. The phone rings.
03:11A voice on the other end tells me I've got to go to Bradford right away.
03:14You recognise that voice?
03:15Well, it's the same voice every night, but it's not the voice of anyone I know, if that's what you
03:18mean.
03:19Interesting.
03:20Yes, isn't it?
03:21I throw on some clothes. I go down to the car.
03:24There's a briefcase on the seat next to me. I start driving.
03:26I take the M1 all the way. It's about 250 miles, door to door.
03:31They give you an address?
03:32No, but I somehow seem to know where I'm supposed to go.
03:34Well, I ought to by now. I've been doing it every night for months.
03:37So, I pull up outside this house. I ring the bell.
03:40The door is opened by a woman who takes the briefcase from me.
03:43A woman takes the briefcase from you?
03:45Yes, it's always a woman.
03:46What does she look like?
03:48Well, she looks a bit sort of...
03:50But apart from that, just...
03:51It's always a woman.
03:53Yes.
03:53Why do you suppose this might be?
03:55I don't know. Maybe her husband's out. Maybe he works nights.
04:00So, it's a married woman you are visiting?
04:01I don't know. I don't know anything about her.
04:04She opens the door. She takes the briefcase. She thanks me. I get back in the car.
04:08You never enter the house.
04:10What?
04:10You never penetrate the house. She never offers you sucker.
04:15Sucker?
04:15Or a hot drink.
04:17No.
04:17You never ask to come in?
04:19No.
04:19To have, I don't know, maybe sex with her?
04:21Are you crazy? I've got 250 miles to drive to get home.
04:24I've already been on the road for four hours. I want to get to bed, so I drive home.
04:29All right.
04:30I barely get to sleep before the alarm goes off and it's time to get up.
04:32I haven't had a decent night's sleep in months.
04:34I'm completely exhausted all the time.
04:37It's affecting my work.
04:38It's worrying my girlfriend, who thinks I'm on drugs.
04:40And if it wasn't bad enough having this dream over and over again,
04:43I'm now seeing a psychiatrist who wants to hear about it over and over and over again.
04:47And I can't stand it much longer.
04:52Well, that's your hour is up.
04:59Hackett.
05:01No.
05:02Not a speck of dust on this desk. Those cleaners really are very good.
05:05Hackett.
05:06Yes, I'm sorry. I'm a bit busy at the moment.
05:07Can you hold on for a second? My head had a bump.
05:09It just popped in. What was it about?
05:10Two weeks till the presentation.
05:11Okay.
05:12Yes.
05:13It's good you're taking an interest in the cleaners,
05:15because if you screw up, that may be the only job you can get.
05:18Right.
05:18Good.
05:19Ha-ha.
05:19Yes, good. Fine.
05:21Sorry to keep you waiting.
05:22I just had a couple...
05:28Okay, so maybe it's not heroin, but if it is some kind of illness,
05:31like, I don't know, some kind of narcolepsy,
05:33then you need to see someone about it.
05:36Or are you having an affair?
05:37Because if you are, A, I'm going to leave you,
05:39and B, you better accept that you're apparently not the sort of person
05:43who has the energy to keep two women happy at the same time.
05:45Or, I mean, is she completely blissfully satisfied,
05:47and is it me that's drawn the short straw?
05:49I mean, not only short, but, you know, frankly, flaccid.
05:51I'm not having an affair.
05:53But my point is...
05:57Whatever it is, please talk to me about it.
06:01I can't live in a vacuum.
06:03I have this recurring dream.
06:05Back to this again.
06:06No, no, but it's really...
06:07It's really...
06:08A nightmare.
06:09No, no, not exactly.
06:10No, this is the nightmare.
06:12You leaving me is the nightmare.
06:14I'm sorry.
06:15I'm just finding this very difficult, that's all.
06:21Why don't you come to bed,
06:23and let me do dirty things to you very slowly,
06:28and I'll make you so relaxed,
06:30you'll sleep like a baby.
06:34Eh?
06:54Yes?
06:55Yeah, OK.
06:57Actually, hang on a minute.
06:58Who is this?
07:00No, no, but, I mean, what is your name?
07:26Listen, who do you remind me of?
07:28I mean, are you supposed to be my mother or something?
07:30How about if I came in for a cup of coffee?
07:34I mean, sex, obviously.
07:36This whole thing is just crawling with symbolism.
07:39The briefcase?
07:40OK.
07:59All I have to do is dream, dream along my...
08:09Oh.
08:10Oh.
08:13Oh.
08:13Am I feel blue?
08:16No.
08:17Huh?
08:17Dream, baby.
08:19Am I feel blue?
08:22Dream, it's blue.
08:24Oh, no.
08:25Oh, no.
08:25Oh, no.
08:27Oh, no.
08:28Let's talk for a few minutes about the briefcase.
08:31OK.
08:32Have you ever tried to open it?
08:33No, it's locked.
08:35Ah.
08:36You don't have the key.
08:38I'm not supposed to open it.
08:39I'm supposed to deliver it.
08:41What do you suppose might be in it?
08:43Listen, for all I know, it might be dirty washing.
08:46Dirty washing?
08:48Or paint samples.
08:49Or back copies of country life.
08:51Or cheese.
08:52Maybe it's empty.
08:53What the fuck do I care?
08:54All I know is I've got to take it to Bradford.
08:56You're angry.
08:57I don't know what I am.
08:58No, no, no.
08:59It's good.
09:00Anger is good.
09:34Oh, jeez.
09:35No, it was a heart attack.
09:37God.
09:38He was already dead when the ambulance arrived.
09:40Jesus.
09:41Would you like to see Dr. Krull?
09:43Um, Dr. Krull?
09:44Dr. Krull's offered to see all Dr. Lerbner's patients.
09:47We're referring everyone to him.
09:48No.
09:49No, I don't think so.
10:07Hi, George.
10:08I'm Dr. Krull.
10:10You don't have a couch, then?
10:11No, I've got a sofa.
10:14Do psychiatrists have couches anymore?
10:16I don't think anyone did.
10:17Dr. Lerbner did.
10:19You're all right.
10:20I've only ever been to him.
10:22Well, Dr. Lerbner was a psychiatrist of the old school.
10:24I mean, he'd a beard and everything.
10:26And a proper foreign accent.
10:28I'm very, very tired.
10:33Okay.
10:34A while ago, I started having this recurring dream.
10:37I see.
10:37When did this start happening?
10:39Well, at night, of course.
10:41No, but I mean, how long have you been having it?
10:42What, recurrently?
10:43Yes.
10:44Well, over and over.
10:46You are quite tired, aren't you?
10:48I wasn't going to carry on seeing a psychiatrist,
10:50because I didn't really think I was getting anywhere with Dr. Lerbner,
10:52but I just don't know what else to do.
10:55Well, that figures.
10:55That's the only reason most people come to see a shrink.
10:57Have their dreams explained.
11:00Right.
11:02So I suppose you want to hear it.
11:03Not particularly.
11:05Sorry?
11:06I always find other people's dreams a bit boring.
11:08Um.
11:08But it's as good a place to start as any, I suppose,
11:11so let's hear it.
11:14Okay.
11:15Right.
11:16I get this phone call saying I've got to go to Bradford,
11:19so I get in the car, I drive 250 miles,
11:21and at the end of it, I deliver a briefcase to this address.
11:25A woman takes the briefcase from me,
11:27and then I drive four hours to get home again.
11:31And when I wake up, I'm exhausted.
11:34Um.
11:36That's it.
11:37Right.
11:39So what do you think it means?
11:42What does it mean?
11:44Yeah.
11:45Who cares?
11:46Sorry?
11:47I mean, what's the problem here?
11:48The problem is not that you're in love with your raincoat,
11:51or that you're getting messages from God
11:53telling you to assassinate Father Christmas, right?
11:55Yeah.
11:56No.
11:56The only problem is exhaustion.
11:59Right.
11:59And the petrol must be setting you back a few, Bob.
12:02Sorry?
12:03Only kidding.
12:04No, but it stands to reason.
12:05I mean, a guy drives, what, about 500 miles?
12:09Yeah, about that.
12:09Yeah, they're in the back.
12:10500 miles every night when he's supposed to be resting.
12:13He's bound to feel like hammered shit the next day.
12:14Is that pretty much summing up?
12:15It's pretty accurate, yeah.
12:17Yeah, I mean, you can't drive 500 miles every night and feel any good.
12:22But.
12:25I bet you could drive half that distance.
12:27Sorry?
12:31What?
12:32It...
12:33Here.
12:34What is this?
12:35It's my home phone number.
12:36When the guy calls and tells you to go to Bradford,
12:39what I want you to do is call me.
12:41I'm asleep when this is happening.
12:43How the hell am I going to...
12:43In your dream, you call me, eh?
12:46I'll come over to your place,
12:47we'll get in the car together,
12:48and we'll drive to Bradford.
12:49And then once you've delivered the case,
12:50you can curl up in the back seat,
12:51and I'll drive back.
12:53You should be able to get,
12:54what, a good four hours sleep on the way back?
12:57Close to it.
13:03Let me just make sure I've got this straight.
13:05I get the call,
13:06and then I turn around and I call you,
13:08and in my dream,
13:09the two of us drive to Bradford together,
13:10and I get to sleep on the way home.
13:12Hmm.
13:14Sounds crazy, doesn't it?
13:16Well.
13:17And I should know I'm a psychiatrist.
13:19Hmm.
13:26Yes.
13:28On my way.
13:45It's fucking cool, isn't it?
13:48Yeah.
13:52It's not very heavy, is it?
13:54Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
13:56What?
13:56Well, I don't know what might be in there.
13:58You're worried if it's fragile and you might get fired?
13:59Well.
14:00You'd make us someone else to do it.
14:02Yeah.
14:09I don't know whether we still are.
14:10I mean, she's moved all her stuff out,
14:12so I assume the engagement's off.
14:14She left her espresso machine,
14:15which rather surprised me.
14:17Perhaps she thought I needed the caffeine more than she did.
14:19What?
14:20Genie.
14:20Yeah.
14:22Right.
14:23What?
14:25No, it's nothing.
14:26It's just...
14:28Interesting choice of name for someone with a dreaming problem.
14:32I dream of Genie.
14:34Oh, yeah.
14:35Well, I'd never really...
14:37I dream of Genie with a light brown hair.
14:41Yeah.
14:43She's blonde, though.
14:46Natural blonde?
14:47No, but she's been dyeing it for years.
14:50I dream of Genie with a light brown roots.
14:57Not just roots.
15:16Get in.
15:18You sure?
15:20Absolutely.
15:21Absolutely.
15:28George?
15:30George?
15:32George, we're home.
15:35Oh, God.
15:38I was just having this really weird dream.
15:40Don't start.
15:41Yeah, fair enough.
15:55Yeah, no.
15:57You came over and we drove to Bradford.
15:58We had a good laugh, actually.
16:00And then I slept most of the way home
16:01and I woke up this morning feeling terrific.
16:03Yeah, exactly.
16:04I even came into work early and got a few things done.
16:06Oh, I'm sorry.
16:07I'm going to have to go.
16:08See you soon.
16:08Well, I'll see you tonight, if that's all right.
16:10No, you won't.
16:11But I'll see you.
16:13Yeah.
16:14Right.
16:14Bye.
16:16Dear, dear.
16:17Sorry.
16:17Is this a good moment?
16:18Yes.
16:19You're fired.
16:20Really?
16:20These figures?
16:21Yes.
16:22These are completely different from the figures that Zentral sent us.
16:25Ah.
16:26I just asked you to put them in a presentation
16:28not add them up differently.
16:29Okay.
16:30What do you mean, okay?
16:31I checked them and they're wrong.
16:33Don't be silly.
16:34This is their audit.
16:35This is what the whole bloody merger talks are based on.
16:37Well, it's only a difference of 0.2 of 1%.
16:40But with their turnover, that's...
16:41Well, it's probably more than they'll be offering to keep us on after the merger.
16:45Are you suggesting they're incompetent?
16:48No, I'm suggesting they're dishonest.
17:02Mike.
17:19Mike.
17:20Mike.
17:21Mike Feverell.
17:23George Hackett.
17:24George.
17:25Of course.
17:26God.
17:27How the hell are you?
17:28What a fantastic surprise.
17:30I haven't seen you.
17:31I was just...
17:34That was just...
17:35God, Mike.
17:36You look dreadful.
17:37Yes.
17:38I'm sorry.
17:39That's not a very...
17:39Well, no.
17:40It's true.
17:41Are you ill?
17:42No.
17:42That's what's so ridiculous.
17:43My health is fine.
17:45So, I mean...
17:46Oh, it's too stupid to talk about.
17:48Well, I mean, if it's something personal, you'd rather...
17:50It's a recurring dream I keep having.
17:52A recurring dream?
17:53A recurring dream.
17:55No kidding.
17:56No.
17:57I have the same dream every night, and it's driving me mad.
18:02What?
18:04Let's go and get a couple of beers.
18:06It's like an adolescent sex fantasy.
18:08It's just embarrassing.
18:10Go on.
18:10It's the same every night.
18:12I go to sleep, doorbell rings.
18:14Get up, put on a dressing gown, answer the door.
18:17There are three beautiful women there.
18:18They want to come inside.
18:20They want to have a party.
18:21A party?
18:22They want to have sex with me.
18:24And?
18:25And I do.
18:26Sounds like a pretty good dream to me.
18:28I suppose it would do.
18:29People would pay big money to have a dream like that.
18:31I suppose they would.
18:32So, what's the problem?
18:33The problem is it's just exhausting.
18:36I can't have sex with three women in one night at my age.
18:40And these aren't hasty encounters, not by any stretch of the imagination.
18:44It takes me all night before they're completely satisfied, by which time I'm just shattered.
18:49And then no sooner do I drift off to sleep.
18:52The alarm goes off and it's time to get up.
18:53Yes.
18:54And you're absolutely exhausted.
18:55I fell asleep on the toilet yesterday, cracked my head on the floor.
18:58But you could probably cope if you only had to make love to one woman.
19:02One woman?
19:03Yes.
19:04And then you could get a nice sleep after she left.
19:06In fact, the next morning you'd probably feel like a million dollars.
19:09I suppose so.
19:10I'm sorry, what are you getting at?
19:12Simple.
19:13Simplest thing in the world.
19:15What is it?
19:15It's my home phone number.
19:17Okay.
19:18Memorise it.
19:18And tonight, when the doorbell rings, I want you to call me.
19:21Call you?
19:21Yes.
19:22Then open the door and let the girls hear.
19:23What's the point in that?
19:24The point is I've got this friend.
19:25He's a psychiatrist, as it happens.
19:26Nice looking guy.
19:28You call me.
19:28I'll call him.
19:29And the two of us will come over to your place.
19:31You're going to drag some psychiatrist over to my house in the middle of the night?
19:34This isn't a dream, you fool.
19:37Sorry.
19:38Look, we'll come over.
19:40You can have your pick of the girls.
19:42We'll entertain the other two.
19:43After you've finished, you can go to sleep.
19:44We'll tidy things up and see ourselves out.
19:47And you'll be perfectly well rested the next morning.
19:51I have some experience in this area.
19:54It will work.
19:56There was a Chinese girl the other night.
19:59Really?
20:00I couldn't really relax and enjoy myself because I kept worrying about the Norwegian and the redhead in the other
20:05room.
20:07Just call me.
20:08Honestly.
20:09Your problems are over.
20:12Something I love about motorway service stations at night.
20:14It's very anonymous, you know.
20:16Very night hawks at the diner.
20:17And also, it's the only time I ever think to buy a packet of prawn crackers and I love them.
20:21I've never stopped for petrol before.
20:23It was a bit of a departure.
20:25Nice touch too.
20:25Very realistic.
20:26Yeah.
20:30What are you doing?
20:32Well, I've driven this route every night for four months.
20:34That's about 60,000 miles.
20:37All on the one tank of petrol, which is a very impressive economy for a large executive saloon.
20:41Yeah.
20:46You messed up, right?
20:48No.
20:49Not really, no.
20:51We weren't really compatible.
20:53Hmm?
20:54We were at a party once and people started to play some hideous parlor game where you were
20:59required to sing a song.
21:01I refused.
21:02I hate that sort of thing.
21:04She said in front of these people, if you love me, you'll sing.
21:09I just couldn't.
21:11I'll never forgive her for that.
21:14So you're missing her then?
21:16Yeah.
21:17Yeah.
21:18Yeah.
21:23You don't need her permission, you know.
21:25Sorry.
21:26You can just love her.
21:28Well, I know I can, but it's a bit difficult if the other person isn't there to be, you know,
21:33loved.
21:34Love is the answer, my brim.
21:36Trust me on this one.
21:37It knocks therapy into a cocktail.
21:41Right.
21:42So...
21:42Of course, people will...
21:43Oh, I'm sorry.
21:44What?
21:45I finished the prawn crackers.
21:47No, no, that's all right.
21:48So what do I do?
21:49Just go to her and...
21:50People will tell you that a relationship is a 50-50 deal between you and your partner.
21:54That's not true.
21:55A successful relationship is 100% down to you.
21:59Right.
22:01Apart from oral sex, of course.
22:02That does take to it.
22:04Yeah.
22:05This is your exit, by the way.
22:06So obviously no one's more relieved than I am.
22:08No one's more relieved than I am that it's not some terrible psychotic personality disorder.
22:13In a funny sort of way, it was just a time management problem that I wasn't handling particularly
22:16well.
22:18And I'm handling it better now.
22:21So, um, well, that's it, really.
22:24Yeah.
22:26George...
22:27There was one other thing.
22:28George.
22:29I know people can change quite suddenly and dramatically, but...
22:35When you're there, there's such an air of spring about it.
22:39I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it.
22:44There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to minor, every time.
23:00I nearly got fired from work the other day, I was strangely all right with that, but what I couldn't
23:05stand was seeing your side of the closet empty.
23:09You wanted to wear my clothes?
23:11Yeah.
23:13So...
23:13Okay.
23:15Well, if you stay awake to the end of the meal, I'll take that as a positive sign.
23:20God, a whole meal.
23:22And how will you keep my interest up after that?
23:26I'll go back to your place, and I'll try to think of something.
23:32Okay.
23:38So, if you'd like to recharge your coffee cups, restock on biscuits, we'll take five, and then we'll get down
23:45to details.
23:52Congratulations.
23:53Oh, well done.
23:54That was brilliant.
23:55Fantastic.
24:01Hello.
24:02So, you're the famous George Hackett.
24:04Yep.
24:05Had to get up pretty early in the morning to catch you out.
24:07Well...
24:08No, no, no.
24:09All's fair in love and business.
24:10No hard feelings.
24:12My direct line.
24:13Come up and see me.
24:15I'd rather have people like you on my side, if you know what I mean.
24:20My God.
24:22What is this?
24:23What?
24:24Well, I just...
24:24You've gone completely...
24:25What's this?
24:26Well, I thought, you know, breakfast, most important meal of the day, and obviously a balanced diet is vital.
24:31So, I just thought, in the interests of balance, I thought, you know, one for each year.
24:37Oh!
24:42And we have these fantastic conversations.
24:45Yeah.
24:45Sometimes, you know, really quite deep, and sometimes we just have a really good laugh.
24:48And do I drive by?
24:50Yes.
24:51Well, I hate to do myself out of a regular fee, but I don't think there's any reason for you
24:55to come and see me anymore.
24:56Right.
24:57Right.
24:58I mean, I can still phone you at night.
25:00In your dream?
25:01Yes.
25:02Yes, well, I think you should.
25:03That arrangement seems to be working very well.
25:05It is.
25:06I've even found I can help other people.
25:07Really?
25:08And you've become...
25:10Well, you've become a very good friend.
25:12Good.
25:14Our best friend, really.
25:16Okay.
25:19Well, ooh, I, um...
25:22I got you these.
25:29Great.
25:29I know they're your favourite.
25:31Yeah, fantastic.
25:34So, good night, Irene.
25:38Sorry?
25:39I'll see you in my dreams.
25:40Right.
25:41Got you.
25:41Yeah.
25:43You take care.
25:47Thanks for everything.
26:13Thank you very much.
26:17Oh, sorry.
26:18You're a bit over-excited.
26:20I don't know.
26:20Congratulations.
26:21Thank you very much.
26:22May?
26:22Don't push it.
26:24Fair enough.
26:24God, it's going to pour down.
26:25Where's the car?
26:26It's just round the corner.
26:27I'll go and get you.
26:27No, I'll be all right.
26:28No, no, no.
26:29Nonsense.
26:29You all stay here.
26:30I'll be back for a minute.
26:30I'll be back for a minute now.
26:57I'll be back for a minute.
27:01Mike.
27:03Oh, hello.
27:05Mike, you all right?
27:06Is he going to be okay?
27:07He just stepped out.
27:08Is he going...
27:09I don't think so.
27:10No.
27:11I must have just...
27:12I don't know.
27:14I'm just so tired.
27:16Well, you know what I'm talking about.
27:18You're still having the dream?
27:19Of course I'm still having the dream.
27:21Mike, when the doorbell rings before you do anything else, you were going to call me, remember?
27:24Of course I remember.
27:26Hasn't that?
27:27Every night I call you for all the good he does.
27:30Do you?
27:31Of course I do.
27:33Every bloody night.
27:35And don't I come over and bring my friend?
27:37Oh, sure.
27:38Your friend, the nice-looking psychiatrist, whom I have yet to meet because he never comes
27:42over and neither do you.
27:43So what, you call me and...
27:45I call you and you hang up on me.
27:47I hang up on you?
27:48You hang up on me.
27:50Why would I do a thing like that?
27:51I don't know.
27:52But before I can get a word out, you say, I'm sorry, I've got to go.
27:56So I have to drive to Bradford.
28:15You hang up on me.
