00:00I don't know.
00:51hello hello i'm here before you for once yes i'm a bit late i had to do some shopping it's
00:56the only
00:57chance i get during the lunch hour it is a bit of a rush isn't it yes it is when
01:04i saw you weren't
01:04here i thought something must have happened oh no no nothing happened it's just ahead to my shopping
01:09first by the time i finish work in the evening most of the shops are closed i really think they
01:13order open later for people who work late oh some of them do oh yes some of them do on
01:18thursdays they
01:19open till seven don't they on thursdays and fridays sometimes and sundays mainly dress shops and big
01:28stores and supermarkets and indians that isn't racist is it i shouldn't think so what if nobody's listening
01:37all the others shut at half past five or six what do the shops even on thursdays butchers are the
01:44worst
01:45sometimes they close all day it's probably the bsc the specs i suppose it'd be all right if you could
01:51do all your shopping on thursdays for the whole week well i can't i haven't got a deep freeze really
01:55so i
01:56have to do my shopping from day to day that does make it difficult i did think of buying a
02:01deep freeze
02:01but our kitchen's so small i wouldn't know where to put it oh what a shame that's why i have
02:07to do my
02:07shopping in the lunch hour except on thursdays of course we keep ours under the draining board what
02:15our deep freeze oh oh we've got our tumble dryer there isn't that a bit dangerous no why well you
02:22might think it was a dishwasher and stick your crockery in it by mistake i shouldn't think so
02:26perhaps if we'd had a dishwasher there for years and years and we changed it for a tumble dryer we
02:32might
02:33you know by mistake put put the crockery glad you came i got quite worried when i arrived here and
02:39saw you weren't here you always here first i thought something must have happened oh no it's just shopping
02:45boring old shopping i wondered if you might be worried about me actually when i was in the butchers
02:53doing my shopping i thought i better hurry up because he might be worried i was worried there's so many
02:59things that can happen didn't occur to me you might be shopping i always do my shopping before i meet
03:04you but it's never made you late before i mean you're always here before me that's why i was so
03:08worried
03:09i thought something must have happened well you see i didn't leave the office till late so i was late
03:15doing my shopping and that's really why i'm late i see it wasn't just the shopping that made you late
03:18no it was leaving the office late that really made me late oh i see guy explains it
03:26i'm glad nothing happened to you i was getting worried were you yes so many thoughts racing through
03:34my mind it's always more worrying for the one that nothing's happened to than it is for the one that
03:39it's happened to because the one that's happened to knows what's happened that isn't worried about it
03:43whereas the one that nothing's happened to doesn't know what's happened and can't help worrying in case
03:48something has happened it was only two minutes late yes but i didn't realize that as you're always
03:54here before me i never know how long you've been here before i get here never very long only if
03:59you're
03:59usually here half an hour before me that would have made you 32 minutes late no i was only two
04:04minutes
04:04late as it's turned out yes
04:12did you get all your shopping all except the liver didn't they have any yes but it didn't look very
04:17nice i got chops instead he likes chops doesn't he yes he does chump chops peas and chips that's his
04:26favorite

04:41brawn last tuesday did i yes you said you thought you'd like a change so i did yes there's something
04:47funny about brawn isn't there yes it's like a jigsaw puzzle would you like yes exchange is no robbery
04:58very nice thank you you make excellent sandwiches if i may say so
05:05how'd you cut the bread so thin i buy it already sliced how clever
05:13women make different sandwiches than men don't they look how thick mine are i think men should
05:19have thick sandwiches i think it's more manly i like a man who smokes a pipe too
05:31didn't she make them this morning the sandwiches yes no i left her in bed how is she still the
05:39same
05:40still her back is it i think so i didn't ask i just made the sandwiches and left i took
05:46her a cup of
05:47tea up but she didn't answer so i left it on the side it's probably cold by now you should
05:53have put a
05:53saucer over it i can't think of everything will she be up when you get back i don't expect so
06:00when she
06:01gets back aches she has to stay in bed all day otherwise she gets migraine as well
06:06what does the doctor say he says there's nothing wrong with her who's refused to come around
06:09anymore is she very much older than you i don't know she won't tell me it must be very difficult
06:17for you my sister comes around twice a week to clear up no i mean with her oh i don't

06:39the heart operation last week no i missed that i saw the brain operation i didn't see that was it
06:43good excellent it was my favorite it's amazing what they can do these days isn't it incredible
06:47they still can't find anything wrong with her perhaps there isn't anything wrong with her
06:54that's unkind you never said anything unkind before did you mean to be unkind you're usually
07:03such a kind person i'm sorry i just can't stand seeing you so unhappy you're so kind and gentle and
07:11she just takes advantage of it do you like brisket thank you is that your chump chop in there
07:23yes it is how did you know the blood's coming through if i were you i'd turn it over put
07:28the
07:28bit where the blood's coming through on top then it won't stain anything you're so practical aren't
07:32you it won't hurt there's potatoes underneath it's always best to put the potatoes at the bottom isn't
07:37a little trick of the trade that i remember once when i was a boy i went shopping for my
07:44mother
07:44and i put the eggs in first and i went to the green grocers and had 10 pounds of king
07:48edwards
07:49emptied in on top of them i'll never forget that did you get into trouble oh yes did your mother
08:02often
08:02hit you no she didn't used to hit me at all she was a very kind woman my mother she'd
08:08never hit me
08:08never once in her whole life she used to get me father to do it
08:14she wouldn't look she used to go out the room she couldn't bear violence
08:18she used to say you wait your father comes in and then she'd tell him and then she'd have to
08:24go
08:24out because she didn't like to hear me screaming she'd go down to the church and cry in the back
08:30row
08:32i caused her a lot of unhappiness like that
08:36but she never approached me for it though she was a very kind woman
08:44see the chop stopped bleeding now paper soaked all the blood up
08:48oh good you won't have to turn it over now how many are there in there only one only one
08:57you

09:03would have said there were at least three in there well there's only one may i see it what have
09:07a look
09:07it if i may his chop yes if you like my goodness that is a big one that must be

12:25young that's

13:18face
13:19i'm glad i never saw you covered in hives i think i would have cried they went down again
13:25they gave me an adrenaline injection but i was allergic to that as well
13:29in the end they just left me alone i would have thought they would have given you antihistamine pills
13:35i'm resistant to antihistamine pills i'm afraid if i ever get hives again they'll just have to get
13:40better on their own you must be careful not to cut yourself i am i always use an electric razor
13:47do you
13:48like electric razors yes only the ones that go round and round not the ones that go up and down
13:53it all depends what kind of beard you have my hair grows in different directions
13:59life can be very difficult have you thought of growing a beard no i tried that it wasn't very good
14:05it wouldn't grow where the hives had been and besides they wouldn't like it at the office not a
14:10patchy beard not any sort of beard not at the ministry of defense it's all right at the admiralty then

15:23You'll be able to buy that new house you want.
15:26No. It's gone up again. Mine's gone down.
15:30What shall I do with this apple core?
15:32Throw it in the rubbish bin.
15:34There isn't one.
15:35Put it in your pocket.
15:36Make the lining dam.
15:37Throw it in the pond.
15:38I might hit a fish.
15:40No, the water will break its fall. It'll float.
15:42The ducks will eat it.
15:44Do ducks eat apples?
15:45See, worms.
15:47All right, then. I'll give it a try.
15:53You're right. It is floating.
15:55Yes, I said it would.
15:56Have you thrown apple cores in ponds before, then?
15:58Yes, they always float.
16:00Ducks are swimming towards it.
16:01Which one's going to get to it first?
16:03That one.
16:03No, no, I think that one.
16:05Oh, yes, you're right. You have done this before, haven't you?
16:07Look, he's got it in his mouth. Look.
16:09There. It's gone.
16:12No more. Try the serpentine.
16:16Oh, yes, I was.
16:19Oh, yes, I was.
16:44Thanks for having me.
16:48Do you know that a man living in Aberdeen gets twice as much radiation as a man living in Edinburgh?
16:52No, I didn't know that. Did you learn that at the ministry?
16:56No, I saw it on television. You've got a television.
16:59Yes. It's a deep freeze I haven't got, remember?
17:02That's why I have to do my shopping from day to day instead of on Thursdays when the shops are
17:05open late.
17:06Yes, that's right.
17:08Cluid gets quite a lot too. And Cumbria.
17:12Cluid has the heaviest rainfall in Wales and that's why.
17:15The pubs are open on Sunday in Wales now.
17:17It's the granite. It retains much more natural radiation in other subsoils.
17:23Oh, would you believe it? That duck has just spat the apple core out.
17:27Spat? Two ducks spit?
17:29Well, swan's his.
17:32They can break a dog's leg with their wing.
17:35I had a Jack Russell once. Swan got hold of it, held its head underwater and it drowned.
17:40Several people standing around applauded.
17:43I think it ate the worm.
17:45Well, that's something.
17:48It's nearly twenty-five past.
17:50Already?
17:51We only have five more minutes left.
17:53Seven? You were two minutes late.
17:55We've got so much to talk about.
17:57Let's make the most of the little time we have left.
17:59Yes.
18:01Let's talk about us.
18:02Do you think that's wise?
18:04No, but let's do it anyway.
18:06What are we going to do?
18:08What's going to happen to us?
18:09I don't know.
18:10Don't you think I haven't thought about it over and over again?
18:13May I hold your hand?
18:16No.
18:17People are looking.
18:18I'll put a newspaper over them.
18:24Can I take your glove off?
18:25This is madness.
18:26Just for one moment.
18:27Just one brief moment.
18:33What tiny hands you have.
18:36Oh dear.
18:38You've got a hole in two fingers.
18:40Naughty girl.
18:42You pull them off of your teeth.
18:45How much longer can we go on like this?
18:47It's been ten years now.
18:49Ten of the happiest years of my life.
18:51Ten years of just meeting for one lunch hour each week.
18:54Has it really been ten years?
18:56Ten years next week.
18:57It's our tenth anniversary next Tuesday.
18:59I'll bring a cake, shall I?
19:00That'd be nice.
19:01I want some candles.
19:02You always think of things like that.
19:04Ten years.
19:06This is the first time I've ever held your hand.
19:12Oh, and a knife.
19:14Don't forget to bring a knife.
19:16Ten years.
19:18Do you remember that first shy meeting?
19:20Oh yes.
19:22Yes.
19:23We spoke for the whole lunch hour about nothing in particular.
19:26How different things are now.
19:28We sat on this same bench, further apart.
19:32And now I'm holding your hand.
19:36I must go.
19:37No, no, no.
19:37We still have a few minutes left.
19:40I want you.
19:43I want you to know there were no regrets on my part.
19:46Regrets?
19:47Regrets.
19:48I entered this with my eyes open.
19:49I knew what it could lead to.
19:51You've done nothing to be ashamed of.
19:52They'd never believe us.
19:53I let you into this.
19:54No.
19:55I want it to be led.
19:56And when it comes out, it's come out at will.
19:58And the finger of scorn is pointed at both of us.
20:00I want you to know it would do it all again.
20:02Oh, thank you for saying that.
20:04Oh.
20:05Oh.
20:06What?
20:07What are those pills for?
20:08You're not ill, are you?
20:10You've...
20:11No.
20:14Indigestion.
20:15Braun always gives me indigestion.
20:17You must be more careful.
20:18You eat your sandwiches too fast.
20:21You'd better put your glove back on.
20:24Careful you don't pull it too hard.
20:25Your fingers will poke through the holes.
20:37Whitehall seems so far from here.
20:40One could almost be in Constantinople.
20:42Or Damascus.
20:43Or Baghdad.
20:44Basra.
20:45The ancient port of Tyre where the Phoenicians sailed in with spices and silks from Cathay and
20:51India.
20:52Where Alexander the Great swept through the...
20:54Oh, look, there's an ice cream man.
20:55Would you like one?
20:57Oh, I better not.
20:57It's too cold.
20:58I'll get a cornet, then I'll bite the end off and make you a little one.
21:01Oh, he's gone now.
21:03Damn.
21:05So beautiful in the park this time of year.
21:09What's that lorry doing over there?
21:11Where?
21:12The Westminster Council written on the side and the big pipe at the back.
21:15Oh, they stick that down the drain holes and suck all the sludge up.
21:18What a good idea.
21:20They have a big job, don't they, Westminster Council?
21:23Oh, there's hundreds of lorries like that, sucking sludge up all day long.
21:26I had no idea there was so much sludge in London.
21:29It's a big city.
21:31Where do our cities?
21:32Unfortunately, there is sludge.
21:34Do you think there was sludge in Basra?
21:37I hope not.
21:38It would spoil it somehow.
21:42Naples smells, I've been told.
21:44So does Venice.
21:46It just shows you how important sludge lorries are.
21:51Half past one.
21:54You'd better go.
21:57Parton is such sweet sorrow.
21:58Shakespeare.
21:59I believe so.
22:01I must read him again.
22:02He's very good.
22:04Don't forget your shopping.
22:06I've already done it, remember?
22:07That's why I was late.
22:08No, I mean your chump job.
22:11Oh, that.
22:13I almost forgot.
22:18There it is.
22:21Can you manage?
22:23Yes.
22:24It's not too heavy?
22:25No, I can manage.
22:26Have you thought of getting it delivered?
22:27They only deliver once a week and I haven't got a deep freeze.
22:30I must go, I'll be late.
22:32Yes.
22:33Will I see you next week?
22:34Yes, of course.
22:36And if you're late again, I won't worry.
22:38Won't you?
22:39I'll know you're doing your shopping.
22:41As long as I know where you are, I won't worry.
22:43It was not knowing that made me worry.
22:45I thought something must have happened.
22:46No, nothing happened.
22:47Only I was worried.
22:48Just shopping, boring old shopping.
22:50You must go.
22:51It's getting late.
22:53Yes.
22:53I hope the chump chop's a success.
22:58Goodbye.
22:59Not goodbye.
23:00Au revoir.
23:01French?
23:02Yes.
23:02Do you speak it?
23:03Un petit peu.
23:05I thought they were little peas.
23:08Oh, well.
23:09Back to the MOD.
23:11Yes.
23:12Goodbye.
23:14See you next Tuesday.
23:15Haven't you forgotten something?
23:17Oh, yes, of course.
23:19Sorry.
23:21It's all there.
23:26I'll take that.
23:27What's the meaning of this?
23:28Geoffrey Tupper?
23:29Yes.
23:29Sarah Tiptree?
23:30Yes.
23:31Police.
23:31Special branch.
23:34Incoming missile defence systems?
23:36It's all there.
23:37This is outrageous.
23:38All right, come on.
23:39Where are you taking us?
23:40To the nearest police station,
23:41where you will both be formally charged
23:43under the Official Secrets Act.
23:45I wonder if you keep both our names out of this.
23:47See, both Miss Lady and I are married.
23:48Not to each other.
23:49Not that we've done anything to be ashamed of.
23:51We're just good friends,
23:52but our families wouldn't understand.
23:54I wonder,
23:55could we have that job delivered
23:56to this lady's husband?
