00:18 I look forward to your day out?
00:19 No.
00:20 Faster!
00:21 [crash]
00:22 Do you even have a visa to get into this country?
00:24 I don't need a visa to work. I am European.
00:26 You're a what?
00:28 I haven't seen you for what?
00:29 A year.
00:30 It looks like you could do with some help.
00:32 I heard the staff are leaving here quicker than the residents.
00:34 You'll have to stay and hide them.
00:36 Me? Look after them?
00:38 I'll bloody well get you sacked!
00:39 [whoosh]

00:45 It's a tiny bit of grass and it's for Alice.
00:47 [paper rustling]
00:47 Staff attacking residents?
00:49 [paper rustling]

00:51 [screaming]
00:53 [car horn]
00:54 As you hear, might as well get me a martini.
00:56 I'll have tea. A little milk, no sugar.
00:58 Get it yourself.

01:00 [thud]
01:01 Control yourself, girl!
01:03 Why should I? You bloody don't!
01:05 [thud]
01:06 You know, if you want to mess up your own life, that's fine.
01:08 Just don't try and drag me down with you.
01:10 Yeah, you don't need my help for that.
01:11 You've checked out of life and you've checked into here.
01:13 All of you!

01:16 I felt like a ghost.
01:18 [water flowing]
01:20 From the moment she was there,
01:22 next minute she's gone.
01:23 [water flowing]
01:24 I was absolutely terrified
01:27 that he would come back and he would take you away from me
01:29 and I can't bear to be without you.
01:31 [water flowing]
01:33 I remember feeling like that once.
01:35 Listen, Ellie.
01:37 I don't think I'll go back at home for Christmas.
01:39 I was thinking we should have Christmas dinner together.
01:41 Look, we're all going to be here for Christmas
01:43 and there's nothing we can do about it,
01:44 so we might as well try and be a family.
01:47 We may be a dysfunctional family, but we're still a family.
01:49 [music]
01:50 Happy Christmas, darling!
01:52 [laughter]
01:53 [music]
01:54 There's a great irony to life.
01:56 It's all the wisdom you need to get through things.
01:59 You don't have till it's over.
02:00 You look beautiful, my dear.
