00:02:32 Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
00:02:36 Oh, shit. Hello, Helen.
00:02:44 I know, I know.
00:02:46 but I swear I was up all night
00:02:49 and I've really hit
00:02:55 What?
00:03:00 I took 4 bottles of vodka on Friday.
00:03:04 I was having a party, and I was
00:03:07 - I bought some more to replace it.
00:03:10 when I have nothing to offer
00:03:14 You could have told them
00:03:17 Bullshit, bullshit.
00:03:25 But you didn't do that, did you, Paul?
00:03:28 No.
00:03:30 So I'm out, am I?
00:03:36 Well, this is just perfect.
00:03:40 Congratulations.
00:03:43 Now you've done it.
00:03:47 Theft. Pretty foolproof.
00:03:51 OK. I'll go. I'll go.
00:03:56 with all the testosterone
00:03:58 It's best I get out
00:04:02 Told you... Lesbian.
00:04:25 Whoops.
00:04:28 Thank you.

00:07:38 - Beatles lyrics, eh?
00:07:42 Elastic Thrombosis -
00:07:45 - They're Beatles lyrics, aren't they?
00:07:49 Of course you do. Everyone is born
00:07:53 They're passed into the foetus
00:07:57 In fact, they should be called
00:08:00 Not a fan, clearly.
00:08:25 Funny how nobody talks
00:08:29 I rarely catch
00:08:32 Confined spaces, everybody
00:08:36 Perhaps we think everybody on the tube
00:08:40 so we close down and pretend
00:08:44 Look, I don't think you're a psychopath,
00:08:48 I understand. I apologise.
00:08:50 I'm in a little bit of a good mood today
00:08:55 Sorry.
00:08:58 Have we met before?
00:09:01 - You seem familiar.
00:09:05 Yes. Yes, you were in the lift just now.
00:09:10 - Oh, yes. You did. Thank you.
00:09:15 - Do you work there?
00:09:20 Oh, that's...
00:09:22 - That's horrible. I'm sorry.
00:09:26 Thank you for your concern.
00:09:30 Thank you for picking up my earring,
00:09:46 I get off at this stop.
00:09:48 I'm only telling you in case
00:09:51 and you get off before me,
00:09:54 Which I'm not.
00:09:59 I really didn't mean any offence. Please
00:10:04 I apologise.
00:10:12 Excuse me.
00:10:13 I'm sorry.
00:10:15 I'm sure you're not a nutcase
00:10:18 it's just that I'm not...
00:10:22 - you know...
00:10:27 Anyway...
00:10:29 - I'm James.
00:10:40 I never figured out
00:10:43 You went back to America, remember?
00:10:46 I came back, though.
00:10:49 Turn my back for three years, and
00:10:54 I know. I suppose
00:10:58 I live with someone.
00:11:02 - Really?
00:11:04 I have people I consider soul mates
00:11:07 And what would he say if he knew
00:11:10 in broad daylight
00:11:12 Big deal.
00:11:19 It was nice to meet you, Helen.
00:11:22 I suppose being a Gemini
00:11:25 Hey, remember what
00:11:28 What, "Always look
00:11:31 No. "Nobody expects
00:11:50 #... out in the streets to find out
00:11:54 # Who's right and who's wrong
00:11:57 # Oh, Candy and Ronnie
00:12:01 # Oh, but they're so spaced out
00:12:03 # B-b-b-Bennie and the Jets
00:12:08 # Ohh!
00:12:11 # Ohh! Benny... #
00:12:18 # You know, I read it in the magazines... #
00:12:22 Ohh! Ohh!
00:12:24 What?
00:12:31 I didn't think you liked Elton John.
00:12:35 I... I do sometimes.
00:12:48 You really shouldn't stop like that.
00:12:50 Set a woman back three days
00:12:56 - Who is she?
00:13:13 Well, I've had a dreadful day.
00:13:18 So did you, it would seem.
00:13:21 - Cup of tea?
00:13:26 You bastard!
00:13:28 You bastard!
00:13:40 I come home and catch you up to your nuts
00:13:43 in Lady-shagging-Godiva!
00:13:46 I am working all hours
00:13:49 while you are supposedly
00:13:54 How long, huh?
00:13:58 Do you love her?
00:14:01 No, do tell me.
00:14:05 I'm only asking because I need to know
00:14:11 Look... look...
00:15:19 Hello!
00:15:23 - Helen? Is that you?
00:15:27 Wednesday...
00:15:30 # How can you stay
00:15:34 # How can you stop
00:15:38 Have you just got up,
00:15:40 No. Uh...? Well, I, uh...
00:15:43 I didn't sleep that well last night.
00:15:47 I kind of... I went into a really...
00:15:52 deep sleep.
00:15:54 I think I might be coming down
00:15:58 what are you doing home
00:16:03 Oh, my God!
00:16:05 What happened to you?
00:16:07 Well, it depends.
00:16:09 - Which story do you want first?
00:16:12 Well...
00:16:14 I got mugged and...
00:16:19 - What are you doing?
00:16:24 You know that. Well, anyway, listen...
00:16:28 tell me what happened?
00:16:31 I got mugged and sacked,
00:16:34 Though it wasn't an actual mugging,
00:16:37 according to the police
00:16:39 - Whoa, whoa.
00:16:41 Wait a sec. Come here.
00:16:43 Now sit down. Just sit here, OK?
00:16:46 Now... you're in shock, darling, OK?
00:16:50 You had... a little bit of a shock.
00:16:57 Do you want a brandy?
00:16:59 - It's 4:00 in the afternoon.
00:17:04 Gerry...
00:17:07 - Are you OK?
00:17:10 Anyway, anyway...
00:17:41 And I just couldn't help thinking
00:17:44 if I had caught that train,
00:17:47 I'd have been home
00:17:50 Oh, well,
00:17:53 You know. "If only this...",
00:18:00 It's done now.
00:18:03 Come on.
00:18:06 Follow.
00:18:08 Splash.
00:18:10 I'm going to take you out
00:18:12 and get you alarmingly
00:18:15 And then dry.
00:18:17 And then follow.
00:18:19 Follow, follow, follow.
00:18:21 And then, when you've sung all your
00:18:24 at the top of your voice
00:18:28 Yeah. Put this on.
00:18:30 I'm gonna let you have carnal knowledge
00:18:33 which your diet does not allow,
00:18:36 which you can then puke
00:18:38 all over the pristine doorstep
00:18:42 and I'll help you.
00:18:44 I love you, Gerry.
00:18:47 Gerry, she's not here.
00:18:49 Anna, you're Helen's best friend.
00:18:52 Come search the place if you want.
00:18:56 What is it you've done, anyway?
00:19:00 OK, look, I'm sorry. Look, if she
00:19:03 or get her to ring me or something.
00:19:07 Like you say, Gerry,
00:19:09 If she comes here,
00:19:18 # I'll have this meagre defence
00:19:22 # I was hoping that
00:19:24 # You're an amateur
00:19:29 # I was hoping that
00:19:32 # You'd know better
00:19:35 # But I've been wrong before #
00:19:38 Well, she's got a point.
00:19:42 Forget about Elton John.
00:19:45 Gerry, you've told me for weeks you
00:19:49 and you wish you hadn't got
00:19:51 I know.
00:19:52 - You weren't cut out for infidelity.
00:19:56 But you couldn't end it with Lydia
00:19:58 - I know all this.
00:20:02 if you remember my words... something
00:20:06 to bring the situation
00:20:08 - I know.
00:20:17 It's not funny, actually, Russell.
00:20:19 I'm sorry, old man. I beg to differ.
00:20:21 It is funny.
00:20:25 And look at you. You're not rushing
00:20:29 I went to Anna's.
00:20:31 Oh, went to Anna's?
00:20:37 - You want my opinion?
00:20:41 Well, of course not.
00:20:52 No, no, no.
00:20:54 It's very uncool.
00:20:59 And how do these people
00:21:02 so that they can talk
00:21:04 It's your restaurant, Clive.
00:21:08 Hello. James.
00:21:10 Rather annoying chatty
00:21:13 Oh, yes. Hi.
00:21:15 You look all stressed up
00:21:17 It's only a job.
00:21:21 No, it's something else,
00:21:23 Sometimes it helps
00:21:27 It also helps if people mind their own
00:21:31 When I left you at the tube earlier,
00:21:34 In bed with another woman?
00:21:36 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:39 - What an idiot.
00:21:43 No, not me. Your boyfriend.
00:21:47 Sorry. It's not my place.
00:21:49 It's OK.
00:21:52 Look, if it makes you feel any better,
00:21:56 Not only does he own
00:21:59 but his favourite
00:22:02 So you see, there's always
00:22:07 - Do you love him?
00:22:12 Hey, you did a joke
00:22:15 in the midst of your turbulent
00:22:20 Listen, if you decide you want
00:22:24 I'm really sorry, Helen.
00:22:39 Two of your most disgustingly
00:22:43 and a large Jack Daniels with ice,
00:22:51 You're behind.
00:22:57 15?
00:23:26 Gerry came looking for you.
00:23:28 - Is it what I think?
00:23:32 Is what you think that I walked in on him
00:23:35 and I walked out?
00:23:38 - Pretty much.
00:23:55 Oh. Hold on. Yeah?
00:23:58 'This morning was sensational.'
00:24:01 - Oh. I can't... Sorry. I can't hear you.
00:24:03 - I can't hear you.
00:24:06 Didn't know it was on.
00:24:12 See you, James.
00:24:18 - Who's that?
00:24:22 Come on, you.
00:24:25 - Right.
00:24:28 OK. Whoa.
00:24:30 And again. Come along.
00:24:34 - Can I give you a lift anywhere?
00:24:39 Hands up if you drank
00:24:41 Hey, I'm not as drunk
00:24:44 Put a wick in her mouth,
00:24:53 9 Menlove Avenue. Thanks a lot.
00:24:57 French bean, some chicken,
00:25:01 - One more little Indian.
00:25:03 - Oh, come on.
00:25:06 Well, but we've gotta move locations
00:25:14 He didn't fancy me.
00:25:16 He offered us a lift.
00:25:19 Uh-huh. Well, let me tell you,
00:25:23 I wouldn't be helping
00:25:25 Am I in bed?
00:25:27 Yes. You're staying with me for awhile.
00:25:30 Don't worry. You'll be fine.
00:25:32 Just fine.
00:25:35 There we go.
00:25:37 - There we go.
00:25:44 'Are you some peculiar,
00:25:49 'You have two head problems... '
00:25:53 One - that was close.
00:25:57 Very close. Put in layman's terms,
00:26:02 And two -
00:26:05 this is far more worrying
00:26:09 you're talking to yourself
00:26:14 Really bad sign.
00:26:30 Bigger sip.
00:26:33 Bigger sip. Don't throw up
00:26:38 There are no PR jobs.
00:26:43 I'm going to need some
00:26:49 What you need
00:26:51 You know, it goes back and then,
00:26:56 # Baby, it's a changin' atmosphere
00:27:03 # And I've seen the signs, I know
00:27:08 # That it's right for me to go
00:27:11 # I'm on my way
00:27:14 # So when you think of yesterday
00:27:18 # Remember all the things we said
00:27:23 # And through the course of history
00:27:28 # I hope you'll still
00:27:30 # Remember me
00:27:32 # And there can't be no other way
00:27:37 # There's nothing left for us to say
00:27:41 # I've got to see it through alone
00:27:46 # I've got to do this on my own #
00:28:03 - For you there.
00:28:05 what do you do when you're not
00:28:08 Well now, let me see.
00:28:11 Make and deliver sandwiches
00:28:14 before I come here about 6:00
00:28:17 After that, if I've got any energy left,
00:28:20 Would you like
00:28:24 - You don't mean that.
00:28:28 So, you were together two years
00:28:31 and you've been sitting here
00:28:35 - Nine days, Anna.
00:28:39 Yes. I mean, why hasn't he even
00:28:43 To admit that he's a twat.
00:28:45 Hello, Helen, it's Gerry.
00:28:48 I love you. All that shit.
00:28:52 - I'm over him.
00:28:55 Yes. Totally and utterly
00:28:59 - No, you're not.
00:29:00 - You're not.
00:29:03 What do you mean I'm not?
00:29:06 Well, two things really.
00:29:08 You're still counting how long you've
00:29:12 But the flashing red light way
00:29:16 is reading their horoscope
00:29:19 - in some freak napalming incident.
00:29:24 - What is he?
00:29:27 Oh, Aries.
00:29:29 Aries... Aries...
00:29:32 Well, just shows how much I know.
00:29:36 "With Mars in the ascendancy,
00:29:38 "you will get wiped out
00:29:41 "and Helen says bollocks to you."
00:29:48 You go.
00:29:50 No, you.
00:29:54 You don't know where or who with.
00:29:58 Quickly, go on!
00:30:00 I am not answering
00:30:03 Please, you have to.
00:30:06 So there's no big deal, is there?
00:30:13 Bollocks to him.
00:30:16 Bollocks to him.
00:30:18 Bollocks to him.
00:30:31 Come on.
00:30:34 you'll never really
00:30:37 Your haircut suits you,
00:30:40 No, it does.
00:30:42 Never make a joke about women's hair,
00:30:46 Look, James, maybe I shouldn't be here.
00:30:48 I'm sorry. I'm not being fair.
00:30:53 You know, under
00:30:56 you're really nice and funny.
00:31:01 Wait, hold, hold.
00:31:05 Your friend Anna thinks I'm cute?
00:31:07 Shit, I just blew...
00:31:10 Oh, 2.85...
00:31:15 Helen, listen.
00:31:17 Sometimes we are plonked
00:31:19 when they just need
00:31:22 and it turns out
00:31:25 We don't know why.
00:31:29 But, I'll be honest, the fact
00:31:34 just makes the job
00:31:36 My intentions
00:31:38 I have no desire to overstep
00:31:42 You prefer diamonds or sapphires?
00:31:46 - "Moderately attractive"?
00:31:50 Well, you know, lose the sad eyes,
00:31:53 I could get you an upgrade.
00:31:56 So, having firmly established
00:31:59 what are you doing two weeks
00:32:01 - Probably killing myself.
00:32:05 Do you like boats?
00:32:09 Do you know we haven't
00:32:12 - Don't be daft.
00:32:17 Almost to the day, listen to you.
00:32:21 Gerry, how did one of my Waterford
00:32:26 get into
00:32:28 - To the where?
00:32:32 I don't know. Can I answer
00:32:36 Last week, when I got the sack
00:32:40 But wasn't there was some brandy
00:32:44 - I don't know. I couldn't really say.
00:32:48 Oh, hang on, no, wait a minute.
00:32:51 There was a bottle
00:32:54 No, I'm certain there
00:32:56 Helen, I'm not sure I like
00:33:00 No, I told you. I couldn't sleep,
00:33:03 to get a drink
00:33:05 It was still there in the afternoon
00:33:07 I mean, you had also that day,
00:33:10 had taken a blow to the... the head.
00:33:14 Maybe one of your mad friends
00:33:19 I mean, Jesus!
00:33:21 Let's spoil the moment
00:33:25 What are you trying to say?
00:33:29 Gerry, ease up, will you?
00:33:32 Oh, women never ask.
00:33:35 No, they don't ask, they insinuate.
00:33:37 And you are insinuating,
00:33:45 Thanks.
00:33:47 No, no, no, no, no.
00:33:52 I mean, thank you.
00:33:56 I mean, this is the right time, isn't it,
00:34:01 I mean, it's... it's... it's perfect.
00:34:04 Gerry, for God's sakes,
00:34:08 There's no need
00:34:22 Thanks, James.
00:34:25 Are you kidding?
00:34:27 In my book, getting to drink
00:34:29 represents social splendour.
00:34:33 Take care, Helen.
00:34:53 Thank you very much.
00:35:03 It's amazing how you can actually learn
00:35:07 Like tin openers
00:35:09 egg mayonnaise and Skipjack tuna.
00:35:13 Yeah. I was just writing you a note.
00:35:16 I have some stuff to read up on.
00:35:18 OK.
00:35:20 Well, I won't be more than
00:35:23 - Would you rather I didn't go?
00:35:29 OK, bye.
00:36:19 Lydia, what are you talking about?
00:36:22 I said I was going to the library,
00:36:26 For God's sake!
00:36:29 Of course I can't come now. What if she's
00:36:34 'So what? Is she there?'
00:36:36 Lydia, I don't know why
00:36:39 'I have taken 2 hours off work, Gerry.'
00:36:41 Please, don't get hysterical.
00:36:44 I booked our hotel in Dorset.
00:36:47 Do you want to cancel it? I mean,
00:36:50 Do you want to end this...
00:36:52 Yes. I mean, no.
00:36:55 Of course we're still going up.
00:37:00 Don't don't
00:37:02 I don't know.
00:37:03 Look, we're going
00:37:06 We're going to have a great time
00:37:19 Right, that's the lot.
00:37:23 - You don't live there anymore.
00:37:28 - Any evidence of her?
00:37:35 - Hello.
00:37:39 Helen.
00:37:42 It's James.
00:37:48 Hello.
00:37:51 Yes, tonight. You know, the tonight
00:37:56 He wants
00:37:58 Go.
00:37:59 Please come.
00:38:03 - OK.
00:38:09 - OK?
00:38:11 - She doesn't want to leave here.
00:38:14 She's really frail, James.
00:38:18 There's another course
00:38:20 It's only a couple of weeks.
00:38:22 - You sure? It's not that important.
00:38:26 OK.
00:38:28 It's going to be hard
00:38:30 But you've still got the London flat.
00:38:33 You'll be nearer the hospital, and
00:38:39 Hey, you know
00:38:42 "Nobody expects the
00:38:45 Exactly!
00:38:47 Sorry. Let me just... Lydia's becoming
00:38:51 And you feel bad because Helen's
00:38:54 to keep the money coming in.
00:38:57 on a research trip to Dorset with you,
00:39:01 to cover up the fact that
00:39:05 And despite the fact that Lydia
00:39:08 which you didn't take,
00:39:12 Gerry, you are a morality-free zone.
00:39:14 If I had no morals,
00:39:18 Whose idea was this trip...
00:39:23 You wanna get out of this Lydia thing.
00:39:27 And I wouldn't mind betting you're
00:39:32 - Very bad sign.
00:39:35 None!
00:39:37 Why do I bother confiding in you?
00:39:39 I'm your mate.
00:39:45 I'm sorry.
00:39:47 I'm here to help you.
00:39:52 Bom bom bom! Nobody expects
00:39:57 Our chief weapon is surprise.
00:40:00 Our two chief weapons
00:40:03 And a ruthless efficiency. Our three
00:40:07 and a ruthless efficiency.
00:40:15 - Whoa! Wow!
00:40:19 - How do you do, Nigel?
00:40:30 I am deadly serious.
00:40:32 Oh, just set up
00:40:35 Yeah, well, why not?
00:40:37 the know-how, the contacts.
00:40:40 You want to spend the rest of your life
00:40:42 Hey, what's the worst
00:40:45 I could fail miserably
00:40:48 Exactly, so what is there
00:40:59 I had a really
00:41:01 Did you? Oh, shit! Sorry.
00:41:04 Yes, it is, so just bear that in mind
00:41:07 I'm getting over
00:41:09 Yeah, sorry.
00:41:19 Good night, Helen.
00:41:24 Hey, you know everything
00:41:27 You'll never know
00:41:30 Wear something warm on Saturday.
00:41:33 Take care.
00:41:44 # Is that you?
00:41:48 # Looks like you've
00:41:52 So, what other ideas
00:41:55 Anna, don't do that.
00:41:57 Don't do desperate mother acting
00:42:03 I'm not remotely interested
00:42:06 - You're not.
00:42:08 So how come last night
00:42:11 if anyone had called
00:42:15 # What I know now
00:42:18 # It's not always a happy ending
00:42:24 # Yeah, but hey
00:42:28 # Here comes that rainy day again
00:42:36 # Hey, look at me
00:42:39 # Don't feel like crying no more
00:42:44 # I won't feel like crying no more
00:42:49 # I don't feel like it
00:42:56 # Hey, look at me... #
00:42:59 You're sorry?
00:43:02 You're sorry that four of the staff here
00:43:05 have been cut down with food poisoning
00:43:08 And yes, they all had the same sandwiches
00:43:15 Are you trained
00:43:18 No, actually, I work in PR
00:43:20 Well, you're not doing a particularly good
00:43:23 Luckily for you,
00:43:26 not to take the matter
00:43:29 Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:43:34 Sorry? Helen has been delivering
00:43:38 Yes. And today I had
00:43:42 Well, I made up a reason,
00:43:45 She's quite pretty in a British,
00:43:49 Lydia, what are you playing at?
00:43:53 - She's not bloody stupid, you know.
00:43:56 I wanted to see what the woman
00:44:00 Now, now, now, wait a second.
00:44:02 I mean, you went back
00:44:04 I wanted to see what this girl you seem
00:44:08 despite the occasional pre-orgasmic
00:44:12 has that is so unleaveable.
00:44:15 And I have to say that I ended
00:44:19 Lydia, don't talk like this.
00:44:21 I told you before I cannot leave
00:44:27 - You know.
00:44:32 Is that what you're trying to say?
00:44:34 You can't leave her for me?
00:44:38 Well, you never said you
00:44:40 Gerry, I'm a woman.
00:44:44 But we reserve the right
00:44:48 That's what makes us so fascinating
00:44:55 - Hello?
00:44:59 This is your kindly
00:45:02 Listen, wherever you were tonight,
00:45:07 - Helen called here looking for you.
00:45:10 - Yeah, all right.
00:45:13 Thank God. I was so worried.
00:45:17 I went to Anna's.
00:45:22 I've had a horrible day.
00:45:24 I met Cruella de Ville's
00:45:27 - She completely deflated me.
00:45:31 How do you know?
00:45:33 Well, no, I mean I can tell.
00:45:42 Where were you earlier?
00:45:46 Oh, I had some stuff to read up on,
00:45:50 God, you're always at the library.
00:45:54 I'm sick of waiting on tables.
00:45:57 I know when you finish the book
00:46:00 but when are you going to finish it?
00:46:05 I'm going to finish it
00:46:09 Very soon.
00:46:13 Helen, there's something
00:46:18 I need to tell you.
00:46:21 Um, it's a little bit to do
00:46:26 and a little bit to do
00:46:30 Only please let me finish
00:46:42 Helen?
00:46:49 Come on, James!
00:46:50 Go, boy!
00:46:52 Go!
00:47:01 # I've got an aching in my bones
00:47:03 # I've been exposed
00:47:05 # To what I want to see
00:47:09 # The fuse is burning somewhere
00:47:11 # It's drenched in me
00:47:14 # It's where I long to be #
00:47:20 It's really weird.
00:47:23 with purple and white shirts. Sorry?
00:47:27 Why hasn't he asked you
00:47:29 He has. I've got to work.
00:47:32 Anyway, it'll be good for him
00:47:37 Anna, can I ask a daft question?
00:47:39 Did you drop a glass in the laundry
00:47:43 Sounds like a ridiculous thing to do.
00:47:48 - Are you OK?
00:47:51 Thank God for that.
00:47:56 Faster!
00:47:59 Yes! Yes!
00:48:03 - And to my left
00:48:05 - And to my right
00:48:08 - And with my left
00:48:10 - And with my right
00:48:12 - And with the head
00:48:17 # Father
00:48:19 # Abraham head had seven sons
00:48:22 # Head, head
00:48:23 # Seven sons had Father Abraham head #
00:48:28 Are you sure it's just
00:48:31 I mean, you seem so distant.
00:48:35 I'm here, Gerry, if you need
00:48:39 Hey, that's Helen in there.
00:48:40 # Seven sons
00:48:44 She's got blonde hair.
00:48:47 There's loads of them having
00:48:55 Lydia.
00:48:57 Maybe it isn't writer's
00:49:01 Maybe it's Helen block.
00:49:04 I don't want to hear about Helen.
00:49:07 I don't care about Helen.
00:49:13 The trouble is you do.
00:49:16 Quite clearly.
00:49:21 I just thought of a great
00:49:24 "The End!"
00:49:41 Yes, you are, Clive.
00:49:43 He's opening
00:49:45 and he's completely disorganised.
00:49:48 Well, you know,
00:49:50 we had wars getting
00:49:53 - You did Pierre Claude?
00:49:55 He's my hero.
00:50:00 Well, I heard that was a really classy do.
00:50:04 I mean, six days is...
00:50:07 Could I come down
00:50:09 I can't promise
00:50:12 Sure. Yeah! Yeah, no problem.
00:50:14 You're kidding.
00:50:17 Pierre Claude. Oh, wow!
00:50:24 You're very thoughtful, James.
00:50:28 Oh, you're the same.
00:50:31 I saw you jumping up and down
00:50:35 It spurred me on.
00:50:39 I love this bridge.
00:50:44 I often come and stand on it
00:50:50 Build a bridge?
00:50:53 I'm sorry.
00:51:03 Oh, God, James, don't.
00:51:05 - Oh, I'm sorry.
00:51:07 I know this is an ideal
00:51:13 You know, night, moon,
00:51:17 You know, it's, um, it's perfect.
00:51:19 And I'm not not feeling
00:51:23 but I don't really
00:51:26 and I'm... I'm still
00:51:29 Oh, God, I hate that word, but I am.
00:51:32 Oh, who isn't? Everyone is.
00:51:35 I'm on the rebound myself in a way.
00:51:40 - Who are you on the rebound from?
00:51:45 My whole life pivots around
00:51:49 - When was that?
00:51:54 I bloody loved that woman.
00:51:56 No warning. Just up... gone.
00:52:00 - Who?
00:52:03 - Get out.
00:52:08 I mean, all my friends were being left
00:52:13 I could have come to terms
00:52:16 But Gary. Oh, she wanted
00:52:20 You know? Well, I went to pieces
00:52:24 And there was no junior Prozac
00:52:37 So, I... I, um...
00:52:40 - I kissed you.
00:52:44 You weren't going to do that.
00:52:46 Um, ahem,
00:52:49 just putting that down to a momentary
00:52:54 - Is that what it was?
00:52:57 Yes? I don't...
00:53:05 I don't want to be a confusion
00:53:10 But something's happened to me
00:53:15 that I wasn't expecting,
00:53:20 Well, well, wasn't expecting.
00:53:23 Repetition of expecting.
00:54:35 You did remember to take a full
00:54:44 Lydia, get in the car,
00:54:46 How many years have you been
00:55:14 # Ooh, I must believe
00:55:19 # I can do anything
00:55:23 # I can heal everyone
00:55:27 # I must believe
00:55:31 # I am the wind
00:55:33 # Yeah, but I am the sea
00:55:37 # Oh, oh
00:55:39 # I am the wind, I am the sea,
00:55:42 # I can be anyone
00:55:46 # Oh, this world is mine
00:55:50 # For all of time
00:55:54 # I can turn them to stone
00:55:56 # Come let me fix my home
00:56:05 # I'm gonna
00:56:14 - He didn't even pay the bill.
00:56:16 - I'm sorry... excuse me.
00:56:22 What do you mean
00:56:24 Jesus Christ, Gerry, what...
00:56:28 One of the waiters is a friend
00:56:32 It's a great do, Helen.
00:56:36 Gerry, you can't just turn up like this.
00:56:41 Yes, I can, Helen.
00:56:44 It's the most important
00:56:47 Oh, God.
00:56:51 # I must believe
00:56:56 We've been through too much just
00:57:04 Helen, please, look at me.
00:57:10 I'm sorry.
00:57:14 Really sorry.
00:57:17 You're too good not to fight for.
00:57:19 Don't, Gerry,
00:57:29 Good-looking bloke.
00:57:31 Are you seeing him?
00:57:33 I... I'm sorry.
00:57:38 - Is that him?
00:57:42 - Does she know about Claudia?
00:57:45 I really like her, Clive.
00:57:48 I'm confused.
00:57:51 Gerry, I really have to go back inside.
00:57:54 Will you come
00:57:58 Please, Helen,
00:58:01 I miss you.
00:58:04 Will you come and see me?
00:58:08 Please, Helen...
00:58:10 I'll go.
00:58:14 Thanks for listening.
00:58:19 # I am the wind
00:58:21 # Yeah
00:58:23 # I am the sea
00:58:26 # I am the wind, I am the sea,
00:58:30 # I can be anyone
00:58:34 # Oh, yes, I'm the night
00:58:38 # That's right #
00:58:41 Are you OK?
00:58:43 - Are you OK?
00:58:46 Too much champagne.
00:59:00 Sorry.
00:59:08 Hey.
00:59:10 It's official. I love you.
00:59:14 Thank you. You're a genius.
00:59:17 Have you seen James?
00:59:20 Yeah, yeah, he had to go.
00:59:43 Business trip. Newcastle or something.
00:59:48 His secretary wasn't very forthcoming.
00:59:50 - Do you believe he's away?
00:59:53 - Think he's just avoiding you?
00:59:55 - Did you leave a message?
00:59:57 Do you think maybe you should have?
01:00:00 I don't know.
01:00:01 Do you think he might be hoping you've
01:00:04 Did you not check
01:00:06 Anna, ease up, will you?
01:00:09 They have less questions
01:00:12 I was nervous. I wanted to get off
01:00:16 Well, it's such a little thing.
01:00:19 Oh, Gerry called, by the way.
01:00:22 Terrific.
01:00:25 That's just...
01:00:26 Two months ago, I want Gerry
01:00:29 Now I want James to call,
01:00:41 'It was the weirdest dream.
01:00:43 'You were there, and you had
01:00:48 and you had something that you needed
01:00:53 Well, that does it. I'm taking away
01:00:58 Anyway, um, there's something else
01:01:05 - I fainted at work the other night.
01:01:11 Yes, but I don't normally faint,
01:01:18 - What was that?
01:01:21 The people next door are plainly
01:01:24 I may pop in later and introduce myself.
01:01:29 Anyway, I don't normally faint,
01:01:34 Oh! Oh!
01:01:38 Ow! Oh, sh...
01:01:41 I stubbed my foot on the side
01:01:45 - God, sounds horrific.
01:01:50 Anyway...
01:01:52 Listen, there's the landlady. She keeps
01:01:57 Look, I'll phone you back when
01:02:05 So I did a test and it turns out
01:02:10 I just thought
01:02:15 Have you gone completely insane?
01:02:19 What do you mean what am I trying
01:02:23 Lydia, I'm on the pissing phone
01:02:28 In case you've forgotten,
01:02:31 She thinks I'm on a research trip...
01:02:35 I remember.
01:02:37 Don't worry, I remember.
01:02:40 So what are you trying to do, huh?
01:02:43 Coming in here screeching
01:02:48 Don't you know, Gerry? Don't you know
01:02:54 I am trying
01:02:59 I am trying to win you back!
01:03:03 I am standing on the platform
01:03:08 with my heart and soul
01:03:11 waiting for the Gerry
01:03:13 to roll in and tell me
01:03:16 That I may reboard the train!
01:03:18 Only the station announcer
01:03:22 and telling me
01:03:25 As the driver has suffered
01:03:30 we suggest you take the bus!
01:03:33 That's what I am trying
01:03:45 Except...
01:03:49 it's quite clear that that
01:03:56 Is it?
01:03:59 No reply... Perfect.
01:04:05 So, I... I'm not waiting any more, Gerry.
01:04:10 I am cashing my ticket in.
01:04:13 I am taking that bus.
01:04:15 Oh, God. I tell all my friends,
01:04:22 Look at me. I must be crazy.
01:04:25 Don't phone me for a while.
01:04:31 No, don't phone me at all... ever!
01:04:37 It's over!
01:04:40 Again!
01:04:44 I've done it, Russell.
01:04:47 Excellent. Congratulations.
01:04:50 - I've finished it.
01:04:52 Oh, well, great, mate.
01:04:54 Not the book, Russell.
01:04:57 I'm never going to finish the book.
01:05:00 The sordid affair with Lydia.
01:05:04 I was decisive, but fair.
01:05:08 Oh, God,
01:05:11 No more deceit,
01:05:14 It was such a mistake.
01:05:19 God, I can't tell you,
01:05:23 Well, I'm... I'm very pleased.
01:05:27 You know,
01:05:30 but it's the best thing by far.
01:05:32 By far and away, the best thing.
01:05:35 I mean, she will do...
01:05:38 I mean, a bit fraught,
01:05:42 Oh, God, I feel good.
01:05:44 I've got to get home
01:05:53 You never even buy me flowers when
01:05:59 What else have you been doing
01:06:03 Wait. Let me get this straight,
01:06:06 I buy you flowers on a whim,
01:06:09 in a... in a fit of... of... of, um...
01:06:14 See? You couldn't even
01:06:16 But instead of being...
01:06:19 instead of being romanced,
01:06:21 you're instantly convinced that I'm
01:06:25 underhand clandestine affair?
01:06:28 In a nutshell.
01:06:40 Gerry?
01:06:45 Are you back?
01:06:48 I missed you, so I came
01:06:50 God.
01:06:54 What are they?
01:06:57 They're flowers. For you.
01:07:02 Do you not like them?
01:07:04 That image of her sitting on top of you...
01:07:08 Oh, God,
01:07:11 Please stop, Gerry. Don't.
01:07:14 I'm... I'm sorry. I... Don't go.
01:07:17 Please try and put her out of your mind.
01:07:21 It's finished... over.
01:07:24 I made a mistake...
01:07:27 and I'm sorry.
01:07:33 I mean, this new bloke... this James
01:07:37 - does he not make mistakes?
01:07:40 A mate of Russell's
01:07:43 They're mutual friends. I...
01:07:47 I don't want to talk about James
01:07:50 I have to go.
01:07:52 Oh, by... by the way,
01:07:55 I've stopped writing the book.
01:07:59 Helen...
01:08:01 the truth is,
01:08:03 I can't write without you.
01:08:09 I want you to come
01:08:14 We were so good together.
01:08:17 Remember how good
01:08:22 Sorry. Just wait.
01:08:29 - Yeah?
01:08:33 Oh, Russell. Look, mate, look...
01:08:36 Can I ring you back
01:08:38 Yeah, OK.
01:08:41 That was Russell.
01:08:44 Look, I'm... I'm dying for the loo.
01:09:05 'Telephone number
01:09:09 'To return the call, press 3.'
01:09:16 Why are you pretending I'm Russell?
01:09:19 What's going on?
01:09:22 Gerry, answer me.
01:09:25 It's Helen, actually.
01:09:28 I interrupted you faking your orgasm.
01:09:35 You know what I was thinking?
01:09:38 - You're not going, are you?
01:09:42 You sad, sad wanker.
01:09:47 God, I feel like such a mug!
01:09:52 shagging, horrible,
01:09:53 despicable, lying,
01:09:55 two-faced, pissing,
01:09:58 - You said shagging.
01:10:04 You know the worst bit?
01:10:08 I felt like I was being unfaithful
01:10:12 That sounds like the best bit.
01:10:19 He didn't call, did he?
01:10:22 That's nearly a week.
01:10:25 I think I've blown it.
01:10:30 I blame British Telecom.
01:10:33 this number to know who called,
01:10:37 itemised bills, take away
01:10:41 They are single-handedly condemning
01:10:44 to a life of terminal monogamy.
01:10:46 What are they after?
01:10:49 Lydia might be pregnant.
01:10:57 Oh, no more, please.
01:10:59 I can't take it!
01:11:02 Oh, this is terrific stuff.
01:11:05 Being with you makes the wait for the next
01:11:10 I didn't reckon on things turning out
01:11:15 What's going on?
01:11:17 Well, to use
01:11:20 it's quite simple - you've just lost.
01:11:24 Are you sure?
01:11:27 I don't know,
01:11:30 I know.
01:11:32 Well, OK, there are a couple of things.
01:11:36 - I don't mind.
01:11:39 is that I've got
01:11:42 a PR job...
01:11:45 An international company
01:11:48 Chairwoman herself called...
01:11:52 and she's invited me to her apartment
01:11:57 Jesus Christ!
01:12:00 - What?
01:12:03 I mean, that's...
01:12:06 That's... that's huge.
01:12:09 - I mean, that's the best.
01:12:13 No, uh... No. Well, I...
01:12:24 - Are you all right?
01:12:27 My sweetheart, that's great.
01:12:29 I'm thrilled. I'm so thrill...
01:12:32 - Hello?
01:12:36 Hi, Russ.
01:12:37 Come by my apartment tomorrow night
01:12:42 Ah, really, mate? No. What a drag.
01:12:47 Yeah, I'll help you.
01:12:51 Russell's family
01:12:54 Yeah, he wants me
01:12:57 and, help him clear out his spare room.
01:13:00 Uh, right. OK. So...
01:13:04 Right, then.
01:13:09 Sorry. What was the other
01:13:13 It doesn't matter.
01:13:41 Hamilton Enterprises.
01:13:50 Rachel, I'm going out to the shops.
01:13:53 No, thanks.
01:13:55 - You OK?
01:13:58 Yes. Yes, I'm fine.
01:14:01 I just... You know,
01:14:41 - Sorry.
01:14:45 - Hello.
01:14:49 - How are you?
01:14:51 - I'm great.
01:14:53 How are you?
01:15:01 - Business lunch?
01:15:05 - My office is just around the corner.
01:15:09 I thought you were
01:15:11 Yeah, I was. I just... I got back
01:15:17 Helen, look, please
01:15:21 Oh. It's OK.
01:15:24 I mean,
01:15:26 No, I mean,
01:15:30 I haven't not called you.
01:15:34 I don't mean I haven't not called you,
01:15:37 - so as to say that I have called you.
01:15:39 Well, I didn't.
01:15:42 But I... I didn't not call you
01:15:45 in the way that you might think
01:15:51 I wanted to call you.
01:15:53 I even dialled all but
01:15:57 - It's ridiculous behaviour.
01:16:02 You see, I thought you still had
01:16:06 Oh. Gerry?
01:16:08 Well, I don't know.
01:16:11 And I thought it was best
01:16:13 - Gerry is why you haven't called me?
01:16:17 I didn't want
01:16:19 You think I just go to bed with all the
01:16:25 Sorry. Nervous humour.
01:16:28 Well, I hoped not.
01:16:33 Sorry. Excuse me.
01:16:36 Hello?
01:16:40 Oh, I see. I'll, uh...
01:16:43 I'll come straight away.
01:16:47 My mum had to go
01:16:49 She's had some tests done.
01:16:54 Do you want me
01:16:59 Yeah.
01:17:03 Uh... Well, maybe, um...
01:17:06 I don't... She's quite frail,
01:17:09 - It's OK.
01:17:16 I'm... Some friends are having
01:17:19 if you're not doing anything.
01:17:24 - Well, some other time.
01:17:29 Yeah, yeah.
01:17:31 Of course. Crikey, it's...
01:17:36 Well, at the risk of sounding
01:17:40 Is that a will pick me up
01:17:46 Listen, don't worry about your mum.
01:17:49 Remember Monty Python.
01:17:53 Well, I'll see you later.
01:17:58 Bye.
01:18:10 - Hi.
01:18:12 - How are you?
01:18:17 Is Gerry excited
01:18:20 I haven't told him yet.
01:18:22 Never seems to be
01:18:26 Come on. Let's celebrate
01:18:29 Bloody marvellous idea.
01:18:32 I really shouldn't in my condition,
01:18:36 - What have you got?
01:18:39 Ooh, no. Yuck.
01:18:45 # Coming up for air
01:18:56 # Rising to a very new
01:19:02 # Somewhere
01:19:07 # Coming up for air
01:19:14 # I'm the last breath around
01:19:25 # I'm the last breath around #
01:20:01 Half day?
01:20:08 James?
01:20:12 So it was last night?
01:20:16 Sorry.
01:20:20 You can't tell from one.
01:20:24 I bought three packets.
01:20:26 Two in a packet... that's six.
01:20:29 You can tell from six.
01:20:32 What are you going to do?
01:20:41 - Is James Hammerton in?
01:20:44 Um, do you know
01:20:46 I'm not sure. He's gone to visit
01:20:50 Would you like
01:20:54 What?
01:20:55 Can I take a name and number?
01:21:00 Um... No, thank you.
01:21:50 There's something
01:21:54 Anna doesn't drink brandy, Gerry.
01:22:00 And those glasses
01:22:02 They only come out for special dinners.
01:22:07 Am I meant to immediately
01:22:11 Are you having an affair?
01:22:14 Just tell me...
01:22:19 No.
01:22:22 I'm not.
01:22:32 Helen... look into my eyes.
01:22:35 I am not having an affair.
01:22:40 I'm not.
01:22:47 Well, I shouldn't have brought this up now.
01:22:52 We'll talk later.
01:22:55 Are you going to be here
01:22:58 Yes. Of course.
01:23:03 Helen... listen.
01:23:07 Good luck, OK?
01:23:18 - Hello?
01:23:21 You've got a damned nerve
01:23:24 What?
01:23:30 Anna, please, just open the door.
01:23:34 You don't know what's going on?
01:23:36 She saw you, James,
01:23:39 You know, the one with the wedding
01:23:42 - Anna, let me see her.
01:23:45 - Where is she?
01:23:48 Oh, shit, shit. Bollocks!
01:23:51 Oh, God, you idiot!
01:24:13 - Clive, you seen Helen?
01:24:25 Thank you!
01:24:47 Helen!
01:24:51 Helen!
01:24:56 Helen! Helen,
01:24:59 Oh, I'm such an idiot!
01:25:02 - Listen to me, please.
01:25:05 I never want to see you again!
01:25:08 I have been through
01:25:12 I stupidly believed
01:25:14 who was different from men,
01:25:18 Now please do me a favour
01:25:23 I am married, Helen,
01:25:26 Walk away if you want,
01:25:29 the woman you saw today
01:25:32 We separated six months ago,
01:25:37 Nothing aggressive.
01:25:39 I didn't tell you
01:25:42 I don't know why. I...
01:25:45 I have wanted to tell
01:25:48 and now you've found out another way,
01:25:53 My mother is ill
01:25:55 and Claudia agreed
01:26:00 As a favour.
01:26:06 Do you have a mum,
01:26:12 Ten minutes, Lydia, and don't ever turn up
01:26:17 It's over, you know?
01:26:20 I know. Sorry. I wasn't thinking.
01:26:32 Oh, Helen... if we are not going
01:26:35 let's make sure it's for the right reason,
01:26:40 There is just confusion,
01:26:47 Get that, would you?
01:27:03 Of course, if you don't want
01:27:07 Oh, hello again.
01:27:13 Is this the truth, James?
01:27:27 Permission to engage the enemy, sir?
01:27:36 I can't take the interview just now.
01:27:38 I'm discussing whether or not I'm going
01:27:45 James... there's something
01:27:50 I'm so sorry you had
01:27:56 I'll tell Anna
01:28:02 Helen...
01:28:05 I love you.
01:28:07 Helen, wait.
01:28:09 - Let me go!
01:28:10 Helen!
01:29:09 James... are you her husband?
01:29:12 Uh... I will be.
01:29:17 If I could have a quick word?
01:29:20 Helen has suffered major
01:29:25 Helen has lost her baby,
01:29:29 I'm afraid she's lost her baby.
01:29:32 You did know
01:29:36 Did you know
01:29:42 She'll be OK, though,
01:29:45 She is going to wake up,
01:30:39 Helen, for some reason,
01:30:46 I'm glad we got things
01:31:05 I'm glad you caught
01:31:24 I am going to make you
01:31:30 I promise.
01:32:18 Helen?
01:32:23 Can you hear me?
01:32:27 Could you hear me, Helen?
01:32:58 - I'm sorry I'm late.
01:33:00 Your mother's showing some signs
01:33:03 She's sitting up,
01:33:05 That's great.
01:33:27 Helen, I swear I...
01:33:35 - I'll do anything you want, darling.
01:33:42 In that case,
01:33:46 walk over to the door...
01:33:48 open it, walk through it,
01:33:51 and close it behind you.
01:34:09 Ta-ta, mum.
01:34:13 # Mama, where's your pretty
01:34:17 - Call us if you have any problems.
01:34:20 You're very fortunate, Helen.
01:34:24 You can say that again.
01:34:26 # She's got a young man waitin'
01:34:32 # Yes, she's grown up
01:34:36 # She's got a young man waitin'
01:34:42 # She's wide-eyed
01:34:45 # She'll be streetwise
01:34:47 # To the lies
01:34:50 # And the jive talk
01:34:52 # But she'll find true love
01:34:56 # And tenderness on the block
01:35:02 # But she'll find true love
01:35:06 # And tenderness on the block
01:35:12 # She was wide-eyed
01:35:14 # Now she's streetwise
01:35:18 Thank you.
01:35:20 Cheer up. You know
01:35:23 Nobody expects
01:35:26 # And tenderness on the block
01:35:31 # Yeah, she's gonna find true love
01:35:36 # She's gonna find true love
01:35:41 # She's gonna find true love #
01:35:50 # My tea has gone cold,
01:35:53 # Got out of bed at all
01:35:56 # The mornin' rain clouds at my window
01:35:59 # And I can't see at all
01:36:02 # And even if I could it'd all be grey
01:36:05 # Put your picture on my wall
01:36:08 # It reminds me that it's not so bad
01:36:11 # It's not so bad
01:36:19 # I drank too much last night
01:36:22 # Got bills to pay
01:36:23 # My head just feels in pain
01:36:26 # I miss the bus and there'll be hell today
01:36:29 # I'm late for work again
01:36:32 # And even if I'm there,
01:36:35 # That I might not last the day
01:36:38 # And then you call me
01:36:40 # And it's not so bad
01:36:43 # And I
01:36:45 # Want to thank you
01:36:48 # For givin' me the best day
01:36:51 # Of my life
01:36:55 # Ohh
01:36:57 # Just to be with you
01:37:00 # Is having the best day
01:37:03 # Of my life
01:37:26 # Push the door, I'm home at last
01:37:29 # And I'm soaking through and through
01:37:32 # Then you handed me a towel
01:37:35 # And all I see is you
01:37:38 # And even if my house
01:37:41 # I wouldn't have a clue
01:37:45 # Because you're near me
01:37:49 # And I
01:37:51 # Want to thank you
01:37:54 # For giving me the best day
01:37:57 # Of my life
01:38:01 # And, oh
01:38:03 # Just to be with you
01:38:06 # Is having the best day
01:38:09 # Of my life
01:38:13 # And I
01:38:15 # Want to thank you
01:38:18 # For giving me the best day
01:38:21 # Of my life
01:38:25 # Ohh
