00:00:57 IAN: Shall we?
00:01:02 Oh, my God.
00:01:08 Oh. Mmm.
00:01:11 You should try these.
00:01:14 It's the waking up pills I'm looking for.
00:01:16 Anything blue, I recommend for that.
00:01:19 White ones give me more of a thrill.
00:01:22 Mmm.
00:01:23 - Cheers.
00:01:25 "Do not operate heavy machinery.
00:01:29 "Keep away from children."
00:01:32 Biblical advice.
00:01:34 WOMAN: There you go, gentlemen.
00:01:35 - IAN: Thank you.
00:01:39 - Have you got my glasses?
00:01:41 Why would I have them?
00:01:45 Christ, I've lost them now!
00:01:47 That's the worst thing
00:01:49 They're in your right hand.
00:01:53 Oh, yeah.
00:01:54 You wouldn't last five minutes
00:01:57 I'm getting help.
00:01:58 - Professional?
00:02:03 MAURICE: Have you worked out
00:02:05 She'll shop and cook for me.
00:02:08 - A sort of nurse, then?
00:02:12 Don't give yourself a coronary.
00:02:15 At the hospital they said
00:02:21 I said,
00:02:26 He's looking forward to meeting you.
00:02:28 But he found your Caesar a little weak.
00:02:31 IAN: Weak?
00:02:33 - what?
00:02:34 IAN: No, he fucking didn't.
00:02:38 What the fuck? Fruity! Fucking fruit.
00:02:43 MAURICE: I'm parched.
00:02:45 This isn't a pub.
00:02:49 Can I help?
00:02:50 God, no.
00:02:52 No, don't flap it about like that,
00:02:56 I'm getting wind rash.
00:02:58 - I'll tuck it in, you'll tire yourself.
00:03:03 There's no reason for her
00:03:06 - Not unless she needs to attend to me.
00:03:11 I've bought a little bell
00:03:13 (BELL TINKLING)
00:03:14 If I feel unwell, I can tinkle it. See?
00:03:20 I bet she can't wait
00:03:23 I've bought her a pink towel, too.
00:03:26 So there's no confusion
00:03:29 No, you wouldn't want that.
00:03:33 No.
00:03:35 And in case she wants
00:03:39 MAURICE: Fucking Edith wharton.
00:03:41 IAN: L really want to educate the girl,
00:03:44 Pass something on.
00:03:46 Yes, dear.
00:03:48 She loves music.
00:03:51 While we're eating, I thought we could
00:03:55 Lovely.
00:03:56 No doubt it'll be tomato soup
00:04:00 No doubt.
00:04:01 Shall I get her to run a nice bath
00:04:03 and put my dressing-gown
00:04:08 I hope she can do a rocket salad.
00:04:12 Or something interesting with fish.
00:04:22 DOCTOR: Going anywhere
00:04:25 (MAURICE MUMBLING)
00:04:27 - Where?
00:04:30 Fantastic.
00:04:32 Right, Maurice,
00:04:35 And, there we go.
00:04:36 (GROANING)
00:04:38 Easy but not necessarily nice.
00:04:43 Feel the same myself.
00:04:46 Everything all right otherwise?
00:04:48 - Jesus Christ.
00:04:53 The prostate should feel like a peach
00:04:58 Yours is a little bumpy.
00:04:59 There might be a small nodule in there,
00:05:02 So we need to send you to a specialist.
00:05:05 A lot of older men have this problem.
00:05:09 They die of something else first.
00:05:11 Right.
00:05:12 So you should worry a little
00:05:16 Now then...
00:05:17 wOMAN 1: Not after last year.
00:05:20 WOMAN 2: Good on you.
00:05:22 WOMAN 1: In the end, there was
00:05:25 - Really?
00:05:28 I felt like standing outside
00:05:30 "Another warm body for my friend."
00:05:31 - You should have done.
00:05:33 That's fine. All done. Can you put
00:05:35 WOMAN 1: Hello. How are we today?
00:05:47 Come on, old man!
00:05:53 (HUMMING)
00:06:20 IAN: Thank Christ you're here.
00:06:24 Horrible, horrible, foul
00:06:30 What an upset.
00:06:33 Was the bath too cold
00:06:36 - Was the fish overcooked?
00:06:41 I'd have been lucky to get a fish finger
00:06:43 inserted into my rectum.
00:06:47 - Good God!
00:06:49 What's gone wrong?
00:06:50 It's hardly been 24 hours,
00:07:10 - Shouldn't you be getting ready?
00:07:12 The theater.
00:07:15 Oh, God, yes.
00:07:17 Yes. Let's leave immediately.
00:07:22 I'll just change.
00:07:28 Let's hope it's a long play.
00:07:32 You've never said that before.
00:08:07 I'm Maurice.
00:08:12 Maurice.
00:08:15 You?
00:08:18 Can I?
00:08:21 You will find I usually
00:08:28 I like whiskey with a whisker of water.
00:08:31 No more than a whisker, mind you.
00:08:36 It's called "drowning."
00:08:40 Drowning.
00:08:43 Do you know how to mix drinks?
00:08:46 Once acquired,
00:08:50 Like typing.
00:09:00 (MAN CHATTERING ON TV)
00:09:01 So, what are you doing?
00:09:06 - In London, I mean.
00:09:10 - What sort of work?
00:09:14 - You know, work.
00:09:19 Any particular kind?
00:09:21 - Modeling.
00:09:25 - Call for what?
00:09:26 Not yodeling! Yodeling?
00:09:36 You know anyone
00:09:38 Yes. I know everyone.
00:09:44 Do you have a fallback position?
00:09:47 No.
00:09:49 - No, I don't need one.
00:09:51 - Are you saying I do?
00:09:56 - No.
00:10:05 I'm thirsty now. Can I have a beer?
00:10:10 - What did he say?
00:10:18 Oh!
00:10:32 (CLEARS THROAT)
00:10:36 MAURICE: Lan?
00:10:44 MAURICE: It won't be as good as
00:10:46 but it will be live.
00:10:48 - Live?
00:11:01 - Can't we go and see Lion King?
00:11:06 WOMAN 1: Come on, you minger!
00:11:09 Oh, God!
00:11:12 No!
00:11:14 No, no!
00:11:16 Stupid cunt. You're in the
00:11:19 Come on.
00:11:22 Don't make me stand here on my own,
00:11:25 I can't stand it.
00:11:27 - WOMAN 1: Come with us.
00:11:32 WOMAN 2: Get a minder.
00:11:34 I so loved you in the Dickens
00:11:37 You noticed me?
00:11:38 Don't be silly, of course I did.
00:11:43 Thank you.
00:11:45 - Jillian?
00:11:52 - You're famous?
00:11:55 - What's your name again?
00:11:58 Maurice Russell.
00:12:00 Oh, right.
00:12:02 (BELL RINGING)
00:12:05 Isn't it the end?
00:12:07 It's never the end
00:12:10 - Come on.
00:12:13 - Yeah.
00:12:18 (R&B MUSIC PLAYING)
00:12:20 JESSIE: I'll have a Bacardi Breezer.
00:12:24 MAURICE: What is it?
00:12:27 MAURICE: Oh, good.
00:12:30 Like wine?
00:12:31 JESSIE: Is it?
00:12:35 Getting on well with Uncle lan?
00:12:37 - Do you know anything about fish?
00:12:41 - You?
00:12:44 - You could consult a book.
00:12:48 Yeah, you know, two flaps of cardboard
00:12:54 - Do you read a lot?
00:13:01 That went down a treat. Another?
00:13:10 - I'll let you get me one more.
00:13:14 Excuse me.
00:13:17 JESSIE: I think you're sweating on me.
00:13:20 - I'm sure you've swallowed worse.
00:13:25 JESSIE: I think I'm gonna be sick.
00:14:10 Come on. Come on, Jessie.
00:14:13 Nearly there.
00:14:16 There you go.
00:14:17 (EXCLAIMS)
00:14:42 (BELL TINKLING)
00:14:44 (MAURICE LAUGHING)
00:14:50 MAURICE: Oh, fuck! Jesus!
00:14:54 - Dad? Dad. Don't leave us.
00:14:58 MAN: No. Goodbye. Goodbye.
00:15:01 Goodbye, Dad.
00:15:03 MAN 2: And cut.
00:15:05 - Very good.
00:15:22 - Are you okay?
00:15:25 You can't die yet, Maurice, we haven't
00:15:32 (CHUCKLING)
00:15:36 Hello, mate.
00:15:41 Here you are, Mr. Russell,
00:15:42 Thanks, old chap.
00:15:44 And may I take some of these cakes?
00:15:47 Sure, why not?
00:15:50 Thank you.
00:16:09 I'm in such pain, dear,
00:16:12 Yes, you do.
00:16:14 Almost all of us want you to live.
00:16:25 I have to have an operation.
00:16:28 - What is it?
00:16:31 - I'm sure it's just routine.
00:16:36 You've always wanted
00:16:40 These cakes are awfully nice.
00:16:44 Action.
00:16:48 Bravo.
00:16:49 I've been at it like a dog all day.
00:16:52 - What were you playing?
00:16:55 Typecast again.
00:16:56 (CHUCKLING)
00:17:02 Here. I asked them for cash.
00:17:06 Well, not all of it.
00:17:09 Please, take it.
00:17:11 Put it towards the boiler,
00:17:17 The whole thing's useless.
00:17:22 It's all got to be replaced, Maurice,
00:17:26 - The man came yesterday.
00:17:32 Over the years,
00:17:37 - I haven't forgotten.
00:17:40 Can't the children contribute?
00:17:42 Can't we look after ourselves
00:17:59 (EXCLAIMING)
00:18:01 - Sammy's gone.
00:18:02 - Yeah.
00:18:04 Big picture of him here
00:18:07 - Another one down.
00:18:12 I wonder how many lines I'll get?
00:18:16 A paragraph.
00:18:20 Lo, here comes Caesar.
00:18:22 And moving rather rapidly
00:18:23 for someone who's just picked up
00:18:27 Oh, God.
00:18:29 - Hello, love.
00:18:31 Thank Christ she's asleep now.
00:18:34 She's drunk all my best Stoli
00:18:37 She even put away the Drambuie
00:18:43 God, no?
00:18:45 I bought this lovely bit
00:18:48 but she didn't know what to do with it.
00:18:49 Dear Jesus.
00:18:50 Her notion of cooking is to stick a plate
00:18:57 - Well, can't you call the police?
00:19:00 Oh, or just kill them, kill the young.
00:19:02 Exterminate their disgusting happiness
00:19:05 This is not fucking funny!
00:19:10 I could die at any moment.
00:19:12 - Why doesn't she just go back home?
00:19:16 I wept more than Antigone.
00:19:18 I said I'd pay for the taxi
00:19:22 Martha said there is no job
00:19:25 There must be some demand
00:19:28 Yeah, I mean, even in the country
00:19:33 - What? What?
00:19:34 You can learn a lot from the television.
00:19:35 Look, the fact is
00:19:39 But to unleash her on us like this,
00:19:42 - Maliciously.
00:19:44 - It's pure evil.
00:19:46 - Evil.
00:19:49 What? What?
00:19:53 - Let's think about this collectively.
00:19:57 - Thank you.
00:19:59 Oh, please, Maurice,
00:20:02 and you're resourceful. Help me.
00:20:05 You couldn't have come
00:20:07 A scientist of the female heart.
00:20:10 - A professor of pussy.
00:20:12 Fucking shut it, Donald!
00:20:16 "Fucking shut it, Donald!
00:20:19 - Fucking shut it.
00:20:22 (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
00:20:26 - He's at doctors.
00:20:29 What?
00:20:30 MAURICE: After scouring the earth
00:20:33 I'm here to announce
00:20:36 - Liar.
00:20:41 - You've done that?
00:20:44 - I said you could rely on me.
00:20:47 Do you think I'll get to keep them
00:20:49 - I'm not sure about that.
00:20:52 There's no actual clothes involved.
00:20:56 What? None at all?
00:20:58 No. Not as such. No.
00:21:03 No clothes. None at all.
00:21:06 You're having me do a porno?
00:21:08 I'm not letting anyone l know
00:21:10 - It's not like that.
00:21:11 - You'll see.
00:21:14 I am shocked, Jessie,
00:21:17 I am a respectable and respected man.
00:21:18 Oh, yeah, right.
00:21:20 "Chuffs and bumps."
00:21:23 - Now you're thinking about it!
00:21:26 - You think about summat else.
00:21:29 Jesus.
00:21:37 Well, when do I start?
00:21:41 Don't keep touching me!
00:21:44 MAURICE: For a moment there
00:21:46 That's no reason to cling on.
00:21:48 Just let yourself fall to the ground
00:21:51 MAURICE: Thank you.
00:22:02 I can't do it
00:22:04 You've got to be professional, my dear.
00:22:06 - But I'm nervous.
00:22:08 - I am frightened, okay?
00:22:14 - what?
00:22:26 Thank you and goodnight.
00:23:14 Everything all right?
00:23:16 MAURICE: You won't be able
00:23:18 and let people look at you.
00:23:20 It's the human form, as it is,
00:23:26 Oh, yeah?
00:23:29 What would your mother say?
00:23:31 She says if I weren't born,
00:23:36 JESSIE: Is this it?
00:23:51 There.
00:23:54 You see?
00:23:57 - Is her name Venus?
00:24:00 Venus is a goddess.
00:24:02 Accompanied by Eros,
00:24:04 she creates love and desire
00:24:07 leading often
00:24:11 The usual shit.
00:24:15 For most men,
00:24:17 a woman's body is the
00:24:23 What's the most beautiful thing
00:24:27 Do you know?
00:24:30 Her first child.
00:24:38 Are you all right?
00:24:39 JESSIE: I'm not doing any more
00:24:42 MAURICE: The model for Venus
00:24:44 that's what caused all the fuss.
00:24:47 JESSIE: Do a bit then.
00:24:49 - MAURICE: Now?
00:24:54 "Is this a dagger which I see before me,
00:25:00 "Come, let me clutch thee:
00:25:02 "I have thee not,
00:25:04 - Now, tell me, who wrote that?
00:25:08 Really?
00:25:10 All right then, smart-arse,
00:25:13 "I should be so lucky,
00:25:17 "L should be so lucky."
00:25:18 Well? Who wrote it?
00:25:21 - Not a clue.
00:25:25 JESSIE: Hey,
00:25:31 MAURICE:
00:25:38 It always calms me.
00:25:44 Shall we go to the seaside, Venus?
00:25:47 I'd rather go to Topshop.
00:25:49 (CHUCKLING)
00:25:51 I'll take you to lunch.
00:25:53 JESSIE: Take me somewhere posh.
00:25:55 JESSIE: I want to meet someone
00:26:01 Who are these bastards?
00:26:02 Some of these arseholes
00:26:06 - For what?
00:26:09 - You have a laugh at me, don't you?
00:26:11 - I'll get you back.
00:26:12 Don't you worry.
00:26:21 MAURICE: Keep still.
00:26:23 - It's not surgery.
00:26:30 Got it. A palpable hit.
00:26:33 But where has the little fucker gone?
00:26:35 Who cares? It's free now.
00:26:36 I can't have my home
00:26:40 Oh, God.
00:26:43 They're around your fucking neck.
00:26:46 Oh, thank you.
00:26:50 Where's that bastard toenail?
00:26:52 (EX CLAIMS)
00:26:53 There's the little fucker.
00:26:58 How's Valerie?
00:26:59 Phoning me continuously
00:27:02 You're her husband.
00:27:04 - Am I?
00:27:06 You did one of your runners,
00:27:10 Did I?
00:27:12 But I never wanted to be independent.
00:27:15 I love it.
00:27:20 I am about to die
00:27:27 You have been loved, though, Maurice.
00:27:31 - You've been adored.
00:27:35 And so have you, lan, a little bit.
00:27:40 Except you didn't always notice it.
00:27:46 God, my bloody back!
00:27:51 No, you can't cling to me like this, lan,
00:27:55 Put me on my feet then,
00:27:58 You're on your feet.
00:28:00 - Oh. Yeah, well, thank you.
00:28:04 (BOTH HUMMING)
00:28:19 To keep the little minx away from you,
00:28:22 I'm going to sacrifice my day
00:28:25 - Marvelous.
00:28:29 - Done.
00:28:32 I need to lie down.
00:28:36 I'm going to have a pre-nap nap.
00:28:38 - Where is she?
00:28:42 Are you absolutely certain?
00:28:44 There will be no sign of life
00:29:02 Don't do that.
00:29:08 Coming with me today?
00:29:14 You want me to?
00:29:23 Okay.
00:29:25 Get up then.
00:29:28 I haven't got anything to wear.
00:29:30 I can't think of anything more enraging,
00:30:06 - If you try and look at me, I'll...
00:30:09 I am losing the will to live, Venus.
00:30:12 I'll rip your eyes out
00:30:26 JESSIE: Does it suit me?
00:30:29 Yes.
00:30:32 Oh, yes.
00:30:35 In what way?
00:30:37 In all possible ways.
00:30:40 It goes with your...
00:30:45 - what?
00:30:50 I'm not wearing nail varnish.
00:30:54 It's beautiful.
00:31:04 WOMAN: Next?
00:31:06 Hello there. It's lovely, isn't it?
00:31:09 Maurice, thank you.
00:31:12 How will you be paying, sir?
00:31:14 Oh, yes, right.
00:31:26 - What's that?
00:31:30 Oh, my God!
00:31:32 Otherwise, I'm afraid, I've only got a 20.
00:31:37 Next?
00:31:40 Jessie?
00:31:43 Jessie!
00:31:47 You humiliated me!
00:31:49 (MAURICE GROANING)
00:31:50 - That will teach you!
00:31:54 I never wanna see you again!
00:32:26 - You ready?
00:32:28 - Will it hurt?
00:32:32 NURSE: Come on now.
00:32:34 Now this might be a bit cold.
00:32:35 (MAURICE EX CLAIMING)
00:32:37 It's all right.
00:32:40 Now just relax.
00:32:43 MAURICE: Jesus!
00:32:44 Everything all right here?
00:32:48 There's a strong chance
00:32:50 But you won't be dead
00:32:53 Okay, let's get him to theater.
00:32:59 PORTER: Here we go.
00:33:06 - IAN: Why didn't you tell me?
00:33:11 I didn't want to think about it.
00:33:14 I hate sympathy.
00:33:16 But you wouldn't have got any from me.
00:33:19 - I know. You're a true friend.
00:33:24 How's the nurse?
00:33:26 It's agony. I told her to be on her way.
00:33:31 - Where will she go?
00:33:36 They always need people in Africa,
00:33:41 It hardly seems won'th going home.
00:33:58 Why not? I am a free man!
00:34:00 We just wouldn't recommend it,
00:34:01 Not for someone so soon
00:34:02 Why don't you wait to see the doctor?
00:34:04 Because there are people
00:34:06 - Well, can't they come here?
00:34:24 - Hello.
00:34:27 - It's you.
00:34:34 Why didn't you tell me
00:34:36 I didn't want to cheer you up.
00:34:39 Here.
00:34:44 - Free at last.
00:34:48 What?
00:34:49 I'm glad, you know.
00:35:04 Well, well, well.
00:35:08 Do you think Jessie
00:35:11 (MAN SINGING ON TV)
00:35:11 I wouldn't let her near my body
00:35:15 - No.
00:35:19 - Cologne.
00:35:22 Get rid of it! It's making me vertiginous!
00:35:25 JESSIE: Drinks, gentlemen?
00:35:29 This is unusual, Jessie.
00:35:33 Are you on ketamine,
00:35:38 - Very good, Uncle.
00:35:41 Right.
00:35:43 - I can't see.
00:35:45 - I can't see. Put it somewhere else.
00:35:48 Somewhere else. There.
00:35:53 - God, I can't breathe!
00:35:57 I can't get through to you otherwise!
00:35:59 - Oh, no. No.
00:36:02 Oh, God!
00:36:04 Thank you.
00:36:05 Everyone knows
00:36:08 You like milk.
00:36:10 I've told you, only on my cereal.
00:36:15 You like it in your hot chocolate.
00:36:17 - What?
00:36:21 God! I'm exhausted, I really am.
00:36:26 Nuts, anyone?
00:36:30 Bloody nuts! God.
00:36:34 I can't wait to get back to work.
00:36:38 - Really?
00:36:42 I've cornered the market there.
00:36:44 If I don't get anything,
00:36:46 - That shouldn't take long.
00:36:53 What do you do to her at your age?
00:36:58 It's a very difficult thing.
00:37:03 Yeah?
00:37:06 - I'll make you a cup of tea.
00:37:11 MAN: You're like a little fairy.
00:37:34 I will die soon, Venus.
00:37:38 Can I touch your hand?
00:37:40 That's one chat up line I haven't heard.
00:37:42 - I'm impotent, of course.
00:37:47 But I can still take a theoretical interest.
00:37:55 - Have you been thinking about me?
00:38:02 What did you think about me?
00:38:05 I saw your body.
00:38:10 Which part?
00:38:13 Your hair.
00:38:16 Your feet.
00:38:18 Your legs, your behind, your eyes.
00:38:23 - My eyes?
00:38:27 Your cunt.
00:38:34 Oh, shut up.
00:38:45 You can touch my hand.
00:39:17 Only with your fingers.
00:39:20 Anything else will make me vomitous.
00:39:27 Can I ask you,
00:39:30 have you ever been in love before?
00:39:45 I can do it. L want to do it.
00:39:52 Thank you. But l will need a big car.
00:39:57 Yeah, an enormous fucker.
00:40:02 - You must be really famous.
00:40:08 It's a really important role.
00:40:10 The linchpin of the story.
00:40:13 Yep, it's also a speaking part.
00:40:15 (PUT YO UR RECORDS ON
00:40:18 I'll explain everything to you
00:40:21 I think you should work in films.
00:40:24 - Do you?
00:40:28 Hey, can we open the roof?
00:40:48 This is wicked!
00:40:52 Turn it up, my man!
00:40:55 More volume.
00:41:36 You will see how fickle men are in love,
00:41:41 I will not believe it
00:41:44 They come.
00:41:48 - You were in love with another?
00:41:50 But my body cannot do
00:41:56 You see that when it comes to love,
00:42:06 MAN: And cut.
00:42:08 WOMAN: End board.
00:42:10 Are you okay, Maurice?
00:42:12 It's hot. These clothes are heavy.
00:42:23 MAN 1: Barry. Barry?
00:42:34 MAN 1: All right, well, let's...
00:42:35 we're gonna have to move on,
00:42:36 MAN 2: All right, that's fine, cool.
00:42:38 MAN 1: Let's give him
00:42:40 Thank you.
00:42:43 Okay.

00:43:14 Oh, sure. Sure.
00:43:20 How does she do it?
00:43:21 - I'm sure you could.
00:43:26 - It's brilliant. I could never do that.
00:43:34 - Am I not?
00:43:36 Now you've upset me.
00:43:39 - Sorry.
00:43:40 My dear,
00:43:50 - What is that?
00:43:52 - Oh, my God!
00:43:55 I don't want it on my shoes.
00:43:56 - You're always dripping, Maurice.
00:43:58 There's always bits of you
00:44:00 (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
00:44:01 Pass me that towel.
00:44:09 Come in.
00:44:11 - You asked for cash?
00:44:17 I wonder if the shops are open.
00:44:22 JESSIE: Do you think they'll suit me?
00:44:25 Let me look at your ears.
00:44:28 Perfect.
00:44:29 - Don't touch.
00:44:34 Come on.
00:44:36 Have you got the bloody money
00:44:38 Oh, yes. Tons of it. I've got a pocketful.
00:44:59 I think I'm gonna wear these tonight.
00:45:06 Venus,
00:45:10 you look like a movie star.
00:45:34 Is there an old man odor?
00:45:38 Not so much this evening.
00:45:41 I wonder why.
00:45:46 You can kiss my shoulders.
00:45:49 Can I?
00:45:51 Three kisses.
00:46:06 Three, I said!
00:46:07 And no licking and burping,
00:46:11 (CHUCKLING)
00:46:15 - Oh, you please me.
00:46:28 (GROANING)
00:46:31 Steady, steady.
00:46:36 I'm just out of intensive care.
00:46:44 You ask for it, Maurice.
00:46:46 You know you do,
00:46:55 Don't you believe in anything,
00:47:02 Pleasure, I like.
00:47:05 I've tried to give pleasure.
00:47:09 That's all I'd recommend to anyone.
00:47:14 You've made me sticky
00:47:17 I think I'll have a bath.
00:47:21 Well, well.
00:47:25 I'll run it for you.
00:47:34 This other man,
00:47:38 the other man who loved you,
00:47:40 was he not kind to you?
00:47:43 JESSIE: He was kind, for a time.
00:47:49 He promised me things.
00:47:51 He bought me stuff.
00:47:55 We had champagne
00:48:01 Then you got pregnant.
00:48:05 - Does everyone know?
00:48:16 Then...
00:48:20 Then he stopped being kind.
00:48:24 He went the other way.
00:48:27 A long way that way.
00:48:34 He were engaged.
00:48:37 I didn't know.
00:48:42 It wasn't a miscarriage.
00:48:47 My mum called it that.
00:48:53 It were an abortion.
00:48:58 And she made me.
00:49:01 Terrible.
00:49:04 Yeah.
00:49:06 Yeah.

00:50:45 Luminous.
00:50:46 Bright.
00:50:50 - Startling.
00:50:59 - That story I told you.
00:51:04 - You don't think I'm low, do you?
00:51:08 MAURICE: Let's have dinner.
00:51:13 What a shame.
00:51:16 - Anywhere nice?
00:51:20 - Alone?
00:51:24 Jolly good.
00:51:27 - Which boy?
00:51:30 Of course.
00:51:33 You can go to the party for an hour
00:51:38 - It's an all-night party.
00:51:42 - How will you stay up all night?
00:51:47 - Uncle lan will worry.
00:51:50 I think he'll be pleased to get rid of me.
00:51:54 - He thinks I'm horrible.
00:51:57 But I like you, Venus. I like you.
00:52:01 I love you.
00:52:06 Bye.
00:52:08 Can we meet tomorrow?
00:52:10 Yeah, okay.
00:52:15 Thanks for the earrings.
00:53:04 (BANGING ON DOOR)
00:53:09 - Hello.
00:53:12 Have I forgotten? Did I invite you?
00:53:14 No, I invited you
00:53:20 Did you?
00:53:23 Good God.
00:53:30 VALERIE: Maurice.
00:53:31 Maurice, quickly!
00:53:34 Why do you keep shouting
00:53:37 You're on TV. Look, look.
00:53:41 (PEOPLE SPEAKING ON TV)
00:53:43 Oh, Christ!
00:53:46 Oh, how handsome you were.
00:53:51 - And there's that woman...
00:53:54 ...who took you away from us.
00:53:57 It's burning.
00:53:59 - You will burn, Maurice.
00:54:03 MAURICE ON TV:
00:54:06 It's very good.
00:54:16 You were a good mother.
00:54:20 I rather left you holding the baby,
00:54:23 You did do that.
00:54:28 I can see
00:54:32 That you put your own pleasure first?
00:54:40 I did love you.
00:54:44 For a time.
00:54:47 And for the rest of the time,
00:54:50 - Please, no. No, don't.
00:54:54 You don't have to. I don't want it.
00:55:00 It's my goodbye to you.
00:55:03 Why, where are you going?
00:55:16 - We won't live forever.
00:57:18 IAN: You looked rather forlorn.
00:57:21 MAURICE:
00:57:24 There are no pockets in a shroud.
00:57:29 IAN: Oh, God, it's a long way up, eh?
00:57:38 MAURICE: '57, I first saw you.
00:57:42 MAURICE:
00:57:44 Strapping? Yeah, sounds like me.
00:57:47 The Ophelia
00:57:50 You wore a kilt, if I'm not mistaken.
00:57:54 Bloody Peter Hall.
00:57:57 (CHUCKLING)
00:58:02 I love this horrible place.
00:58:06 It reminds me
00:58:15 Another large one?
00:58:19 Hmm.
00:58:20 Yes.
00:58:27 - Come on.
00:58:28 - I've got a good idea.
00:58:33 - What?
00:58:34 - What?
00:58:39 IAN: Shit.
00:58:42 Oh, God.
00:58:45 You must protect the old man.
00:59:05 MAURICE: Boris Karloff.
00:59:07 He was a sweetie, apparently.

00:59:14 Robert Shaw. Richard Beckinsale.
00:59:20 IAN: They're running out of room here.
00:59:25 Luckily lan isn't a long name.
00:59:34 (CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
00:59:46 - Shall we?
01:00:37 (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
01:01:18 I'm sorry I didn't come to meet you.
01:01:22 You can smell my neck.
01:01:25 - I can?
01:01:29 No kissing.
01:01:34 I understand.
01:02:01 - You like to do this, don't you?
01:02:06 - Maurice?
01:02:10 - I want something.
01:02:15 I'm sure it's something
01:02:18 - For how long?
01:02:29 - Why don't we move things on a little?
01:02:36 - I want to give you a treat.
01:02:39 - I want to cheer you up.
01:02:46 - How?
01:03:32 Thanks, Maurice.
01:04:17 Sit, please. Sit.
01:04:20 Thank you.
01:04:39 You insult me.
01:04:41 On the contrary,
01:04:45 - How so?
01:04:49 Answer me.
01:04:50 Don't tempt me,
01:04:53 Yes, you're easily tempted,
01:04:57 I've been questioning
01:05:02 in search of the facts.
01:05:04 - You begged me to find her work.
01:05:09 Jessie is a shy, provincial girl.
01:05:13 To take advantage
01:05:17 to take her to drinking establishments,
01:05:22 - She plied me.
01:05:27 Yes, well, did you buy these?
01:05:32 These?
01:05:35 IAN: Hmm?
01:05:36 This is ridiculous.
01:05:37 She said you paid for her
01:05:42 - Did you?
01:05:44 It was a small snake.
01:05:46 Well, well, well.
01:05:47 You never welcomed her.
01:05:50 That is a lie!
01:05:51 Now, hang on, lan, old man.
01:05:55 you did have one or two little
01:05:58 How dare you?
01:06:00 You handed her that halibut
01:06:03 To what? To cook it?
01:06:06 That's all.
01:06:10 But to be so desperate,
01:06:15 Now you strike me!
01:06:16 Maurice, please.
01:06:18 They bring us croissants
01:06:20 Did you see? I have been struck!
01:06:22 Get some sense into your thick skull
01:06:25 You venomous rat! A dying man.

01:06:38 - What is this, catheters at dawn?
01:06:40 I'm going to have to bar
