00:00:45 Thank you, Ben.
00:00:46 Tell your mother she's an angel,
00:00:49 - When's the driving test?
00:01:12 You got a girlfriend yet?
00:01:14 Oh, no, no.
00:01:25 Don't forget.
00:01:34 My name is Roger, and I'm your
00:01:40 I'd like you to approach
00:01:43 take the first exit.
00:01:46 No, that was the first exit,
00:01:56 In a moment, I'm going to
00:01:59 When I do, I'd like you to
00:02:04 Emergency stop, please.
00:02:06 Stop the car.
00:02:08 Stop!
00:02:28 Never mind, darling.
00:02:30 I crashed the car.
00:02:31 Well, you were nervous.
00:02:33 Mum, do you think I should have some
00:02:41 I've been driving for 25 years.
00:02:45 Seat belt, please.
00:02:46 * Oh, come to my heart,
00:02:50 * There is room
00:02:53 * Just fill me
00:02:57 * I want you to be *
00:03:00 * Redeemed *
00:03:06 Good!
00:03:10 - Bye, Sarah.
00:03:12 - Bye. See you next Sunday.
00:03:14 See you, Peter.
00:03:15 I know a lot of
00:03:17 Education at Coventry.
00:03:17 It's a hell of
00:03:20 very new science,
00:03:22 Very rounded, very sexy.
00:03:24 Lovely.
00:03:25 Obviously I can't take Ben's exams
00:03:29 I can definitely recommend him.
00:03:32 Thank you, Peter.
00:03:35 Thanks.
00:03:37 Ben really knows his Bible.
00:03:40 he struggles with.
00:03:41 Maths was always my problem.
00:03:43 Ben and maths.
00:03:48 Peter was just telling
00:03:50 for an International Day,
00:03:51 with all the different
00:03:53 I thought it sounded wonderful.
00:03:55 I'm not sure
00:03:57 for Peter's particular bra
00:04:00 No need to be sarcastic, Robert.
00:04:10 May I offer you some more,
00:04:14 How is your room, Mr. Fincham?
00:04:18 this afternoon?
00:04:20 Ben took his driving test today.
00:04:23 Just a few things to iron out.
00:04:25 Of course, now we've got
00:04:27 we can spend even
00:04:29 There you are.
00:04:45 How's my grown-up boy?
00:04:51 Your father and I
00:04:53 Now that Mr. Fincham's
00:04:56 it might be thoughtful if we all
00:04:59 towards getting
00:05:01 What do you think?
00:05:03 Who is Mr. Fincham?
00:05:04 Mr. Fincham came to me
00:05:08 He'd heard that I
00:05:12 But how long
00:05:14 Darling,
00:05:17 He must take
00:05:21 I thought if you
00:05:25 you might put some of the money
00:06:05 Ask yourselves this question.
00:06:07 How is a person truly free
00:06:10 and act for themselves?
00:06:14 God gave us free will
00:06:19 You see, he wanted us
00:06:22 to be grown-up about it.
00:06:24 If you say to me,
00:06:27 I say to you,
00:06:29 'If you strive to do good,
00:06:33 Hand brake, mirror, turn.
00:06:40 If you don't seek to
00:06:44 you're a Christian.
00:06:47 If you're true to
00:06:50 as you'd have them treat you,
00:06:53 you're a Christian.
00:06:56 The more a person
00:06:59 for the benefit of others,
00:07:01 the less I'm inclined to trust
00:07:03 the Christianity
00:07:07 God tells us
00:07:09 true faith is
00:07:16 Now, how you express that,
00:07:18 the way, the manner,
00:07:20 these things are of no consequence,
00:07:25 unless in your heart
00:07:29 you are true.
00:08:07 Hello?
00:08:23 Sod you, you little buggers!
00:08:26 Bloody... Bloody hell!
00:08:29 Come on! You utterly
00:08:39 How are you?
00:08:42 You're Ben.
00:08:43 Found the house all right?
00:08:48 Now, then, we talked
00:08:50 What did I say?
00:08:52 You said you needed some help
00:08:54 Did I mention camping?
00:08:56 No. You said you
00:08:59 Yeah, well,
00:09:01 Theatrical engagements.
00:09:03 I take it you're a Christian?
00:09:05 Excuse me?
00:09:07 Well, I make it a policy
00:09:10 As a single woman,
00:09:12 of the dangers
00:09:14 though, sadly, God is no longer
00:09:19 Or am I just old-fashioned?
00:09:24 At home, I'm never
00:09:28 Meals are taken in the kitchen,
00:09:32 in which case I shall
00:09:37 some canapes...
00:09:38 I pay 6p an hour,
00:09:41 So if that is unsatisfactory
00:09:45 though how you can
00:09:47 in all good conscience,
00:09:49 You ought to be
00:09:51 Sorry...
00:09:54 and every alternate weekend
00:09:59 Yes or no?
00:10:00 Um... Yes.
00:10:03 Oh, excellent.
00:10:05 Well, we do seem to be
00:10:08 don't we, Ben?
00:10:09 Now, I'll show you around.
00:10:18 Hi, Ben.
00:10:19 Hi.
00:10:21 Been swimming?
00:10:25 Um, yeah.
00:10:28 What are you all dressed up for?
00:10:29 I've got a job.
00:10:31 Doing what?
00:10:32 Looking after a lady in Hampstead.
00:10:33 Lucky lady.
00:10:37 So where are you going now, Ben?
00:10:39 I was just walking.
00:10:41 I thought maybe if you were going,
00:10:48 Okay.
00:10:50 See you.
00:10:57 You know, after last Bible class,
00:11:01 He says he likes
00:11:04 He says there's
00:11:06 going on in
00:11:08 He says he may take
00:11:11 Peter's so great.
00:11:13 Yeah.
00:11:15 He said this,
00:11:17 has actually flown
00:11:19 to save the Church
00:11:22 Can you imagine?
00:11:24 That's just so Pete.
00:11:26 You've got lovely hair.
00:11:27 What?
00:11:28 Sorry.
00:11:32 I've wrote you a poem.
00:11:35 read it to you, if you like.
00:11:36 It's okay,
00:11:37 I can read it later.
00:11:38 I'd really like
00:11:40 Really, it's okay.
00:11:41 It's only five lines.
00:11:45 Go on, then. Quickly.
00:11:50 * You are the harvest,
00:11:53 * 'Birds fly for you, sing for you*
00:11:55 * Each wing a beat
00:11:58 * Felt for you, my clay feet *
00:12:01 * I do not sing for you,
00:12:04 * I'm not water, I'm not wheat *
00:12:07 * I would be dove,
00:12:11 * Your milky breasts,
00:12:16 What do you think?
00:12:19 I'm sorry,
00:12:22 but you're just too weird.
00:12:37 You're walking through the desert.
00:12:39 It's very, very ho
00:12:41 Walking. Tired.
00:12:43 You're walking and
00:12:47 And then... Over here.
00:12:50 You see a eucalyptus tree.
00:12:55 And then
00:12:57 it's Jesus Christ himself,
00:13:00 carrying his loaves and fishes.
00:13:03 Now, everybody,
00:13:05 quickly, quickly, sitting
00:13:08 Sitting in the shade,
00:13:11 I'm so proud of Ben.
00:13:13 Not only has he found a job
00:13:16 helping a retired actress.
00:13:17 She's not retired.
00:13:19 Eve Walton.
00:13:21 She's a dame.
00:13:22 Eve Walton?
00:13:24 Wasn't she with
00:13:26 Played Ophelia.
00:13:27 I've really no idea.
00:13:29 Haven't heard her
00:13:31 That's not
00:13:34 r?
00:13:35 you went to the theater.
00:13:36 We went to the West England
00:13:38 That was panto.
00:13:40 I'm sure Dame Eve's
00:13:43 We must invite her over, Ben.
00:13:45 Perhaps she can help us out
00:13:48 On second thought, maybe
00:13:51 Peter's International Day.
00:13:54 Give the Muslims
00:13:58 Excuse me.
00:14:12 Who is it?
00:14:13 Ben.
00:14:16 Come in.
00:14:22 Mum thought you might
00:14:34 What's that one?
00:14:36 A skylark.
00:14:38 Skylark?
00:14:40 It's found mainly in the Highlands
00:14:44 Its call is
00:14:51 It's not to be confused with
00:15:00 Aye.
00:15:01 Oh, you can borrow the book,
00:15:02 It's okay.
00:15:04 Well, it's on the shelf.
00:15:08 Thanks.
00:15:14 Thanks for the crumble.
00:15:45 God, I loathe gardening.
00:15:48 One beastly patch of grass
00:15:53 And whoever made up
00:15:56 should be shot.
00:15:57 Floria Fluckabundee.
00:16:02 As if anyone gives a sixpenny suck
00:16:05 Stop that bus!
00:16:13 Are these
00:16:15 I must say I prefer
00:16:19 I say, I would prefer
00:16:23 Since nobody appears to be moving,
00:16:27 Goodness me,
00:16:31 Oof!
00:16:36 Lovely London.
00:16:39 Sweetie? Christmas in a lick.
00:16:42 No, thanks.
00:16:46 For a boy of 17, you show
00:16:51 No doubt you're suppressed
00:16:53 but that's hardly enough to explain
00:16:54 what frankly amounts
00:16:59 I shall have to imagine
00:17:01 You're a healthy 17-year-old boy.
00:17:03 You're not, of course,
00:17:06 You see an attractive woman
00:17:08 You wonder,
00:17:12 Answer, no.
00:17:14 For your information, I've been
00:17:16 Once to an actor,
00:17:19 and once to a Californian.
00:17:21 All work flings.
00:17:23 My mistake.
00:17:26 You, on the other hand,
00:17:30 I must introduce you to Dougal,
00:17:34 Hopelessly queer, of course,
00:17:39 Bent gent.
00:17:40 I'm not gay.
00:17:41 I beg your pardon?
00:17:43 I'm not gay.
00:17:46 Not gay, apparently.
00:17:59 Can I help?
00:18:00 I wish to see your equipment.
00:18:02 My equipment?
00:18:03 Show me everything you've got.
00:18:14 Wait. Stop.
00:18:16 Ben.
00:18:18 Can you put your
00:18:27 Always dreamed of camping,
00:18:31 Half in, half out.
00:18:34 Of course, my parents would
00:18:37 The lower middle classes
00:18:39 You sound faintly Cockney.
00:18:42 Are you?
00:18:44 No.
00:18:46 No. What are you, really?
00:18:49 I don't know.
00:18:51 I mean, middle class, I suppose.
00:18:53 Nothing to be ashamed of.
00:18:55 Middle classes are
00:18:58 It's just their
00:19:05 'They flee from me
00:19:08 'With naked foot
00:19:14 'I have seen them gentle,
00:19:18 'That now are wild,
00:19:22 'That sometime
00:19:25 'To take bread at my hand'
00:19:27 Any luck with this one?
00:19:32 Sadly,
00:19:35 but for your aid and succo
00:19:46 Look, a camping stove.
00:20:01 Where on earth have you been?
00:20:04 I got held up.
00:20:06 Got held up?
00:20:08 We had a driving lesson at 4:00.
00:20:10 You should have let me know.
00:20:12 There was nowhere to call from.
00:20:15 Mobiles give you cancer.
00:20:21 Come on. I'll drive.
00:20:29 * If I am alive
00:20:38 Read that.

00:20:54 * And mine
00:21:07 * And I'm still applied
00:21:19 Ben. Where were you
00:21:24 We had a driving lesson.
00:21:26 Is that all?
00:21:27 Yes.
00:21:41 Ben, are you asleep?
00:21:53 Whatever happens
00:21:58 we're God's ambassadors.
00:22:03 We show the world a smiling face.
00:23:13 Put it away.
00:23:15 Sorry.
00:23:19 You do not touch my things!
00:23:22 I was tidying.
00:23:24 You do not touch my things!
00:23:27 Yes.
00:23:34 You tidy around them.
00:24:04 Evie? I've got your shopping.
00:24:14 Evie?
00:24:20 - Sink.
00:24:22 - Sink.
00:24:23 Sink!
00:24:37 - You all right?
00:24:41 I've got puke in my hair.
00:24:48 Sit me down.
00:24:53 Okay?
00:24:54 No.
00:24:56 Sofa.
00:25:06 It's gonna be all right.
00:25:09 Sod off.
00:25:11 Goody bloody two-shoes.
00:25:15 No.
00:25:18 Stay. Please.
00:25:23 Just till I go to sleep.
00:25:34 Thank you.
00:25:38 * Give me oil in my lamp
00:25:41 * Give me oil in my lamp
00:25:45 * Give me oil in my lamp

00:26:15 Evie.
00:26:17 Quick, quick, come! You'll never
00:26:20 I've come to hand in my notice.
00:26:23 Come. Close your eyes.
00:26:26 Eyes shut!
00:26:33 Open.
00:26:34 It's a tent.
00:26:36 Not the tent, my books.
00:26:40 They were in a crate
00:26:42 You must have moved them when
00:26:44 That was one of the reasons...
00:26:45 But nonsense. I thought
00:26:48 I won't lie to you, Ben.
00:26:51 a stranger to the Bard.
00:26:53 I had money problems.
00:26:57 Oh, well, be that as it may,
00:27:01 I was obliged to take TV work,
00:27:04 a daytime drama series
00:27:09 shipping magnates,
00:27:11 called, rather unimaginatively,
00:27:16 I believe they still
00:27:19 No money in it for me, naturally.
00:27:25 I auditioned for Nurse Ratched
00:27:35 You're Coriolanus.
00:27:43 'This fellow had
00:27:46 'his wife is in Corioli
00:27:50 'Yet give us our dispatch:
00:27:54 'I am hush'd until
00:27:57 'and then
00:28:03 'My sister, my sister...'
00:28:05 'Oh, my dear orchard,
00:28:07 'my sweet and lovely orchard.
00:28:11 'My life,
00:28:14 'my youth, my happiness,
00:28:18 'farewell!
00:28:21 'Farewell!'
00:28:24 'I’ll met by moonlight,
00:28:27 'What, jealous Oberon!
00:28:31 'Fairies, skip hence:
00:28:34 his bed and company.'
00:28:36 'Tarry, rash wanton:
00:28:40 'Then I must be thy lady.'
00:28:43 'Kill me to-morrow:
00:28:46 'Nay, if you strive...'
00:28:48 'But half an hour!'
00:28:50 'Being done,
00:28:52 'But while I say one prayer!'
00:28:53 ''Tis too late.'
00:29:02 Born to it.
00:29:08 We did Othello at school.
00:29:10 It wasn't like...
00:29:13 The thing is, you don't
00:29:16 until you've actually
00:29:18 Ah, there, you see,
00:29:26 I write poetry.
00:29:29 How intriguing.
00:29:33 I'm not...
00:29:35 any off by heart.
00:29:36 Another time, perhaps.
00:29:39 Now, then, I was thinking
00:29:45 Somewhere not too far.
00:29:52 Something the matter?
00:29:55 How long would we be away for?
00:29:57 Oh, a day.
00:30:09 Hello, there.
00:30:14 And what brings you here?
00:30:17 Mmm?
00:30:19 Do you think Mum
00:30:21 Camping?
00:30:23 Why on earth would anyone
00:30:26 To escape?
00:30:27 He can't possibly.
00:30:29 He's got a dress rehearsal
00:30:32 He's a tree.
00:30:33 A eucalyptus tree.
00:30:35 Plus, he's got Bible club and
00:30:38 But I thought you
00:30:40 Well, surely a few days
00:30:42 any difference...
00:30:43 Robert, you're not the one
00:30:45 organize a play,
00:30:46 keep house and look after half
00:30:49 Sorry, but what does any
00:30:52 I need him here.
00:30:57 Night, Dad.
00:30:59 Night-night, Ben.
00:31:04 I'm sorry about the camping.
00:31:08 Sometimes your
00:31:30 Good night, Mr. Fincham.
00:32:00 Bright and early.
00:32:03 I'm afraid I can't
00:32:05 My mother needs me at home.
00:32:08 I see.
00:32:10 Sorry.
00:32:12 Well, never mind. We can just take
00:32:16 I take it you drive.
00:32:19 I'm still a learner.
00:32:30 This is wonderful.
00:32:34 This is simply...
00:32:40 Just look at it.
00:32:42 It's all so fucking green!
00:32:51 We should probably think
00:32:53 Oh, there's bags of time.
00:32:56 I really do think
00:32:58 Stop the car!
00:33:00 Stop! Stop!
00:33:07 Good God above,
00:33:12 Drive in!
00:33:15 I see now why the working classes
00:33:22 Sky. Air.
00:33:26 Their little urchins
00:33:29 Hello, there.
00:33:31 I'm Evie. I've come camping.
00:33:37 Mum!
00:33:46 There.
00:33:47 Very nice.
00:33:51 If you don't mind,
00:33:54 be getting back now.
00:33:55 My mother was expecting me at 6:00.
00:33:57 I can't possibly leave
00:34:01 I really do have to say,
00:34:02 There's always time.
00:34:06 Right, that's it.
00:34:09 I beg your pardon?
00:34:10 I'm taking down the tent.
00:34:14 Car key, please.
00:34:15 Sorry?
00:34:17 Car key.
00:34:18 Okay.
00:34:32 Oh, my God.
00:34:35 What a relief. He swears.
00:34:38 You've swallowed the frigging key!
00:34:39 Better and better.
00:34:43 Choke. Bring it back.
00:34:44 You have to bring it back!
00:34:45 - No, I don't.
00:34:47 No, I don't.
00:34:49 Shit. There's a spare set.
00:34:53 Haven't got one.
00:34:54 How could you do that?
00:34:56 Felt like it.
00:35:00 My mother's gonna kill me.
00:35:02 You don't understand.
00:35:05 I asked, and she said no.
00:35:07 You don't say yes when my mother
00:35:10 My dear boy,
00:35:12 the key will be back
00:35:16 I'm regular as clockwork.
00:35:17 Look, if it makes
00:35:20 I'll ring your mother and tell her
00:35:23 No! No.
00:35:25 Whatever you do,
00:35:28 As you wish.
00:35:38 I'll have to call home.
00:35:47 Eat first. A soldier fights
00:35:55 Have a drink.
00:35:57 I don't drink.
00:35:58 Go on.
00:36:00 No, it won't.
00:36:02 It was a key. I swallowed it.
00:36:08 Now, I insist
00:36:10 I'm underage.
00:36:12 Well, how old are you?
00:36:14 Seventeen and a half.

00:37:35 She thought my last
00:37:39 Yes.
00:37:43 Well, don't hurry your heart.
00:37:46 That was always my mistake.
00:37:50 What do your parents make of Sarah?
00:37:53 Or perhaps you haven't

00:38:10 lasts a great deal longer than looks.
00:38:21 Hello?
00:38:23 Ben? Where are you?
00:38:26 I'm on a campsite.
00:38:28 Evie swallowed the car key,
00:38:32 till she poos it out.
00:38:33 Mum? You there?
00:38:36 I'm calling the police.
00:38:39 I don't know.
00:38:41 I'm fine, really.
00:38:42 Have you taken a tablet?
00:38:45 Did she give you a tablet?
00:38:49 I'm fine. I just can't
00:38:52 Robert, she's kidnapped him!
00:38:55 He sounds drugged.
00:38:56 Mum, I'm fine, honestly.
00:38:58 Don't move.
00:38:59 Mum, there's
00:39:01 I'm stuck on a campsite,

00:41:13 So pack the car up
00:41:19 Car key.

00:41:25 Yeah. There we are.
00:41:33 Right.
00:41:50 Your granny said you'd pay.
00:41:56 You could have told me
00:41:59 That campsite
00:42:02 If I hadn't had the money...
00:42:04 That's not the point!
00:42:06 Anyone would think
00:42:09 I think it's best
00:42:11 Oh, why? So you can take up
00:42:14 You can pay me what you owe me
00:42:17 I'm not going back.
00:42:20 I'm to take part in

00:44:03 How long is a piece of hope?
00:44:09 A month?
00:44:12 Three months?
00:44:14 A week?
00:44:15 A week?

00:45:57 Wait here.
00:46:11 Jewelry on a woman my age
00:46:15 Buy yourself a clean shirt.
00:46:19 Drive on.
00:46:37 Miss Walton?
00:46:38 I am she.
00:46:40 Hello. Welcome to Edinburgh.
00:46:42 on the Literary Festival.
00:46:43 Did you have a good journey up?
00:46:44 As good as can be expected.
00:46:49 I'm afraid we hadn't allow
00:46:51 No, no.
00:46:53 Okay, follow me.
00:46:56 So if you want to check
00:46:58 they should be able to sort
00:47:00 Anything else you need,
00:47:02 Thank you.
00:47:04 Emma, the woman that booked you in,
00:47:06 She's a bit run off
00:47:08 And we'll have a taxi at 11:00
00:47:14 I've got to tell you, I'm
00:47:17 The Shipping Magnates.
00:47:19 Yes.
00:47:20 You've seen '80s Night on Sky?
00:47:24 No.
00:47:25 I never miss it.
00:47:27 'I'm a woman,
00:47:30 You're huge on the gay scene.
00:47:33 Am I?
00:47:36 Sorry.
00:47:38 So we'll see you
00:47:45 Bye for now.
00:48:03 You wanted to see me?
00:48:05 Yes, come in.
00:48:09 I thought Dougal
00:48:11 the decency to
00:48:13 One doesn't ask
00:48:19 I need some water.
00:48:32 Thank you.
00:48:37 Thank you.
00:48:44 When I asked you
00:48:48 I may have given the impression
00:48:50 that such things
00:48:55 The truth is,
00:48:57 rte
00:48:57 of theatrical performance
00:49:02 I accepted this offer
00:49:05 because I was
00:49:11 It now appears
00:49:14 the reason for my invitation.
00:49:16 What have they asked you to do?
00:49:20 I'm to read from
00:49:23 It's being re-published.
00:49:26 Part of a week of readings
00:49:32 Sounds very nice.
00:49:37 I don't suppose you're familiar
00:49:42 It's rather popular
00:49:47 However, what's done is done
00:49:50 and the show must go on.
00:49:52 I'm sure they'd understand
00:49:55 given how little time you have.
00:49:57 Don't be ridiculous.
00:49:59 When a woman says
00:50:01 it doesn't mean she's not going on!
00:50:02 I want to go on.
00:50:08 - Sorry.
00:50:14 As long as you're there,
00:50:19 Of course I'll be there.
00:50:22 It's silly, I know, but I think
00:50:24 if you weren't there with me
00:50:27 You're my poet.
00:50:30 You understand the power of words.
00:50:34 Tomorrow, then.

00:51:16 You do speak, don't you?
00:51:20 Good.
00:51:25 You fancy a drink?
00:51:27 I should be in bed.
00:51:31 There's a club I sometimes go to.
00:51:35 Great.
00:51:38 Great.
00:51:42 So shall we go?
00:51:47 Yes.
00:51:49 Hi.

00:51:57 Come with me.
00:51:59 Sorry.

00:52:28 What's your old lady so uptight for?
00:52:32 She's nervous about tomorrow.
00:52:34 Why? She's only
00:52:37 They probably won't even get to her.
00:52:39 Emma's always booking
00:52:43 I think Dame Evie

00:52:46 Dame?

00:54:55 I'm 18 and a half.
00:55:00 Don't mind me asking, but why
00:55:03 Were there no other jobs?
00:55:06 She's my grandmother.
00:55:08 Cool. Sorry, I didn't mean
00:55:12 It's okay.
00:55:17 Is this your first time?

00:56:33 And you don't call this an emergency?
00:56:36 With the greatest
00:56:45 You were saying?
00:56:46 What's happening?
00:56:47 My assistant is missing in action.
00:56:49 When you find him, I'll be downstairs
00:57:02 Can I get you anything else?
00:57:04 Another.
00:57:10 Hello.
00:57:12 I made you some tea.
00:57:14 No.

00:57:36 - You're kidding, right?
00:57:38 I have to be there before she goes
00:57:41 Ben, she's reading from a book.
00:57:43 It makes no difference.
00:57:45 unless I'm in the same room.
00:57:46 Isn't that a bit weird?
00:57:48 She's not weird.
00:57:52 Relax. She's having you on.
00:57:55 No, she isn't.
00:57:58 Once you've made a promise,
00:58:03 I'm sorry.

00:58:09 You're a lovely guy.
00:58:12 Thank you.
00:58:24 Stop at an offy.
00:58:51 Miss Walton?

01:01:26 Where were you?
01:01:28 I got held up.
01:01:29 You promised me.
01:01:31 I'm sorry.
01:01:33 Get me out of here.
01:01:44 Where are we?
01:01:46 On the way to Cheltenham.
01:01:49 Cheltenham?
01:01:50 There's another festival there.
01:01:53 But I don't want to
01:01:56 It's all sorted.
01:01:59 and explained to her
01:02:02 She was really nice about it.
01:02:05 at the Cheltenham
01:02:07 What are you talking about?
01:02:09 I told her. You're not just
01:02:13 You deserve a better end.
01:02:15 The Cheltenham
01:02:18 Jesus Christ! Turn the car round
01:02:21 No.
01:02:22 What did you say?
01:02:23 When a woman says
01:02:25 that doesn't mean she
01:02:27 Young man, let me
01:02:30 Under no circumstances
01:02:32 I have humiliated myself
01:02:35 Now all I want to do
01:02:37 You have to climb back on the horse.
01:02:39 What? Climb back on the what?
01:02:41 God wants you to do one more
01:02:43 Stop the car.
01:02:44 You were upset.
01:02:46 Next time, I'll go
01:02:48 Stop the bloody car!
01:02:58 I will not be bullied,
01:03:01 I'm not going back.
01:03:03 You can't. You're dying.
01:03:04 I am not dying.
01:03:06 You mustn't be afraid of death.
01:03:07 I am not dying!
01:03:09 God embraces all who believe in him,
01:03:12 for they shall have everlasting life.
01:03:14 I am not dying! I made it up!
01:03:24 I forgive you.
01:03:26 Oh, don't be so bloody pompous.
01:03:29 I made a tit of myself.
01:03:33 Evie.
01:03:40 Evie, where do you
01:03:44 Evie, stop. You're in
01:03:48 Then I will cling to
01:03:51 Evie, please. You're worth too
01:03:55 Bugger off.
01:03:56 You know I'm right.
01:03:57 God gave you your
01:03:59 There is no God,
01:04:03 God forgives you for that, too.
01:04:05 Let's get one
01:04:08 I do the forgiving, not God.
01:04:11 That's a terrible thing to say.
01:04:13 Oh, don't get biblical on me,
01:04:15 You never read
01:04:16 I read my Bible every night!
01:04:19 Liar?
01:04:21 I've never met anyone
01:04:23 You make up whole
01:04:25 You said you'd be there
01:04:27 You make up conversations.
01:04:28 The one time I really needed you
01:04:31 The one time1
01:04:33 Who were you with
01:04:35 you couldn't even
01:04:38 Who was it?
01:04:44 Bryony.
01:05:14 Take me home.
01:05:17 We can look for
01:05:23 I'm sorry.
01:06:29 Come and look.
01:06:59 Evie?
01:07:01 Mmm?
01:07:03 Do you know that picture
01:07:09 Was that your baby?
01:07:17 What happened?
01:07:21 He died of meningitis
01:07:27 What was his name?
01:07:31 Thomas Oliver Walton. Tom.
01:07:40 He had
01:07:43 When he was proud of something,
01:07:48 Like once when we were
01:07:51 He was holding my hand,
01:08:00 Life is confusing.
01:08:04 Just when we think it's all over,
01:08:09 and we don't know where we are.
01:09:22 Shall I bring in the things?
01:09:24 Tomorrow.
01:09:33 I tricked you into going all
01:09:38 I'm sorry.
01:09:40 I had a brilliant time, really.
01:09:45 Tomorrow, then.
01:10:12 You don't have to tell me
01:10:18 Some people are wicked,
01:10:21 She isn't wicked.
01:10:22 She's an actress!
01:10:27 I think that says enough.
01:10:31 Of course, I blame myself
01:10:33 for suggesting we try and do
01:10:37 This is the thanks I get.
01:10:41 My child on drugs, probably abused.
01:10:44 I wasn't abused.
01:10:48 When you went with that actress,
01:10:51 you left God's house.
01:10:54 While there is breath in my body,
01:10:58 Look at me when
01:11:05 She needs me. She's my friend.
01:11:14 I could never
01:11:18 Don't betray me.
01:11:46 You may have noticed
01:11:50 dressing in my clothes.
01:11:52 We must assume that
01:12:12 Evie, it's me, Ben.
01:12:16 My mum... Anyway, I'll try
01:12:21 Ben. I have to go now.
01:12:23 Sway.
01:12:25 * Town to town
01:12:26 * Broadcast to each house,
01:12:28 Sway.
01:12:30 * But no one knows your face
01:12:35 * Billboards quoting things
01:12:39 * You hang your head and pray
01:12:43 * For Jesusland
01:12:52 * Jesusland *
01:12:55 Down.
01:12:56 And one, two, three, up.
01:13:11 Hello. May I help you?
01:13:14 How do you do?
01:13:18 I was wondering
01:13:23 I'm afraid he's out.
01:13:25 Oh, I'm sorry.
01:13:27 Would you mind
01:13:29 Only he left a message,
01:13:33 I'm so sorry.
01:13:36 He has no wish
01:13:41 I see. Did he say why?
01:13:46 He's found
01:13:49 More appropriate?
01:13:53 Is that all?
01:13:55 Yes. I'm sorry. Yes.
01:14:00 Please give him
01:14:05 Thank you so much for calling.
01:14:26 Ben, what would I do without you?
01:14:45 First positions, please.
01:14:53 Look at them. I'd like to see
01:14:57 The way she looks, I'd say she was
01:15:01 What do you mean?
01:15:07 Mum,
01:15:21 On a hot afternoon in
01:15:25 a hungry crowd is gathering
01:15:30 when all of a sudden,
01:15:33 Jesus Christ, the son of God,
01:15:39 We're hungry.
01:15:41 Where can we get food?
01:15:44 Showing them his
01:15:47 Jesus smiles and says...
01:15:50 Come unto me, all ye that are heavy
01:16:00 Ben?
01:16:05 * Well, Jesus was a man
01:16:09 * A hard working man and brave
01:16:12 * Well, he said to the rich
01:16:14 * Now
01:16:16 * So they lay
01:16:20 * Hah-le, hallelujah
01:16:24 * Hah-le, hallelujah
01:16:27 * Hah-le, hallelujah
01:16:30 * They lay
01:16:34 * Hah-le, hallelujah
01:16:37 * They lay
01:16:45 Evie? It's me, Ben.
01:16:48 I've only got a few minutes.
01:16:53 I just want you to know,
01:16:58 Evie, I know you're in there.
01:17:06 Evie, I need to talk to you.
01:17:10 I only stayed away 'cause
01:17:14 Evie! I need you!
01:17:19 Don't make me go back there,
01:17:27 Evie?
01:17:39 You silly cow.
01:17:43 Hold on, dear. Bloody hell.
01:17:51 I'm coming! Hang on.
01:17:56 Don't give up! I'm on my way!
01:17:59 Taxi!
01:18:02 Saint Luke's Church Hall, Finchley.
01:18:06 And now, as the final chapter
01:18:11 we watch God's angels
01:18:14 surrounding the stone that lies
01:18:18 in preparation for
01:18:29 Christ's resurrection.
01:19:01 How much is that, dear?
01:19:02 ...rolling, rolling, rolling.
01:19:09 Then, as the heavy boulder
01:19:14 Christ steps into the light
01:19:19 I've come for my boy!
01:19:22 Shit.
01:19:25 God as a woman.
01:19:31 Thank you.
01:19:36 Thank you. Thank you so much.
01:19:38 Oh, thank you.
01:19:41 You are too kind.
01:19:44 Start the finale!
01:19:48 My friends, my friends!
01:19:52 The time has come
01:19:56 to say farewell.
01:19:58 Summer's lease has
01:20:01 and the leaves on the trees,
01:20:06 Yes, Lord!
01:20:07 Yes, Lord!
01:20:09 Yes, Lord!
01:20:10 When in disgrace with fortune
01:20:13 lift yourself up
01:20:18 'No, no, I don't
01:20:22 'No...'
01:20:24 No!
01:20:24 '... I'm gonna be a man.'
01:20:28 Good news, Lord!
01:20:29 Yes, sister.
01:20:32 Oh, Lord, good news!
01:20:34 Yes, yes, yes.
01:20:39 No roots to dig
01:20:44 No branches
01:20:49 I am the son of man,
01:20:54 ain't nobody holding me down!
01:21:01 Thanks for coming.
01:21:02 You stuck by me,
01:21:05 Thank you, thank you.
01:21:09 Stop her.
01:21:10 For Christ's sake!
01:21:11 Thank you, thank you.
01:21:23 Ben Marshall,
01:21:33 Time to go home.
01:21:36 Ben-Ben?
01:21:37 I'm not your Ben-Ben.
01:21:39 Don't be silly, my love.
01:21:40 And I'm not your love.
01:21:42 Ben, stop now, please.
01:21:44 No, I won't stop.
01:21:45 I'm gonna go on and on
01:21:47 just what it's like
01:21:49 Ben.'Be good, be nice. '
01:21:51 And all the bloody time,
01:21:53 in Dad's car having sex...
01:21:54 Ben!
01:21:59 Mr. Fincham?
01:22:01 Laura, darling!
01:22:13 Dear Ben, I do hope when you
01:22:16 your mother finds herself
01:22:20 In the circumstances,
01:22:21 I quite understand that
01:22:24 to work for me anymore.
01:22:26 Besides,
01:22:31 Do remember, however odd it all gets,
01:22:37 The end is up to you.
01:22:39 To wit,
01:22:42 penned by my dear friend
01:22:48 'When the shit hits the fan,
01:22:52 Ben. Come, talk to me.
01:22:59 How are you?
01:23:01 The doctor said
01:23:05 is because I drive an economy car.
01:23:09 God truly is a friend to the thrifty.
01:23:13 Mum, please.
01:23:15 There's something
01:23:21 Your father and I have been talking.
01:23:26 I've prayed to God, and I hear him.
01:23:30 He's telling me to get a divorce.
01:23:36 Ben?
01:23:39 Hiya.
01:23:41 Hi.
01:23:43 I'm next in the prayer chain.
01:23:47 Are you all right, Ben?
01:23:49 Fine.
01:23:53 We all know about your mum and Peter.
01:23:57 If it's God's will...
01:24:01 You're very angry, aren't you?
01:24:04 Don't be.
01:24:10 Every day God gives us is a gift.
01:24:13 That's why we call it the present.
01:24:17 Fuck off, Sarah.
01:24:19 - What did you say?
01:24:37 Ben?
01:24:40 What are you doing?
01:24:44 You saw your mother?
01:24:46 Peter's taking her to
01:24:51 She said I should
01:24:59 I think it's better this way.
01:25:00 How can you say that?
01:25:02 After all the shit she put you
01:25:06 You're my dad. You're meant
01:25:08 You should've divorced her!
01:25:09 You should've told her
01:25:12 I did.
01:25:15 It was me who
01:25:20 Ben, I know this is ha
01:25:24 but when I made my vows to your
01:25:28 and though it may seem like very
01:25:31 to be true to my word.
01:25:34 You should've talked to me.
01:25:38 I'm a poet. I understand
01:25:43 Yes.
01:26:07 I think I may move
01:26:10 Good idea.
01:26:15 You know, it's a while
01:26:17 Dad?
01:26:20 I saw a skylark in Scotland.
01:26:23 Really? Do you know, I've never
01:26:27 Just like you said.
01:26:29 Wonderful.
01:26:31 It was.
01:26:38 I do love you, Ben.
01:26:45 I love you, too, Dad.
01:26:49 Yes. Good. Yeah, that's good.
01:27:02 Blast you.
01:27:05 Come on!
01:27:07 You blunt little bastards, cut!
01:27:12 Ben!
01:27:15 I wasn't sure I was
01:27:17 I've been a bit busy.
01:27:19 Good.
01:27:22 I can't stay. I'm on my lunch break.
01:27:26 Books. Very apropos.
01:27:29 I'm living on my own now,
01:27:33 Excellent. And your parents?
01:27:36 They're my parents.
01:27:37 Yes.
01:27:42 So, any plans?
01:27:46 I'm thinking of going to college.
01:27:47 - Where?
01:27:49 To study...
01:27:51 English.
01:27:52 English! Good choice.
01:27:55 I wrote you something.
01:27:58 I'm still experimenting
01:28:01 Free verse.
01:28:03 Ah.
