As Time Goes By. Geoffrey Palmer • Judi Dench • Joan Sims
Transcript
00:00You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental
00:23things apply as time goes by.
00:33Do you think there are any hedgehogs up here?
00:36Not unless they have oxygen masks, why?
00:39I can hear a sort of snuffling noise.
00:41That's me breathing.
00:44Shall we have a little rest?
00:45Oh, it's not far to the top now.
00:47I know, but shall we have a little rest?
00:48Oh, yes.
00:49Why do we have to have a picnic on top of a mountain?
00:54Well, imagine Rocky's idea.
00:57It's only a hill.
00:59Of the mountainous variety.
01:02Oh, come on, Tenzing.
01:04One last thrust to the top.
01:08We can plant a little Union Jack when we get there.
01:11If that's an if.
01:15There we are.
01:20Oh, there you are.
01:24You know, we'd almost given you up.
01:26Oh, come and have some champagne.
01:31The top of Everest was never like this.
01:34When did you set out?
01:36Several days ago.
01:37No, about two hours ago.
01:39When did you two set out?
01:41Oh, about 20 minutes ago.
01:43You're not seriously telling us you climbed up?
01:45I'm tempted to, but no, we cheated.
01:47Mrs. Bale ran us up on the motorbike and sidecar.
01:50Yes, she's just nipped back for the hamper.
01:52Ah, there she is now.
01:57I often think she could have been Calamity Jane in a previous existence.
02:01Yes, but a word of warning.
02:03Treat her with care.
02:05She's been looking after us at the cottage recently,
02:07and she's been distinctly peculiar.
02:10She's always peculiar.
02:12Yes, we know that, but this is distinctly peculiar.
02:17Ah.
02:19I'm sorry I took so long.
02:21I had an altercation.
02:23Indians?
02:25Some fool on a mountain bike.
02:27He's not injured, is he?
02:29Just winded.
02:31Well, let me give you a hand, Mrs. Bale.
02:33I can manage.
02:35Thank you.
02:37After I've taken Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle Sr. home,
02:40I shall be along later to prepare your supper.
02:43Oh, you don't have to.
02:44Mrs. Bale, we can manage.
02:46I shall be along to prepare your supper later.
02:49I am not, as some people would have it, a spent force.
03:05You all right?
03:07I mean, five of us on a motorbike and sidecar.
03:09Oh, I thought it was fun.
03:11Downhill.
03:12That was the best bit.
03:14It's something in the water down here, I swear it is.
03:17We could get into the Royal Tournament as a display team.
03:20Are you sure you're all right?
03:22A bit heady, that's all.
03:24Probably drinking champagne at altitude.
03:26I'm all right.
03:28Wasn't that fun?
03:30That's just what I've been saying.
03:32How about you, young fellow?
03:34I should never have allowed myself to get talked into it.
03:37I despair of you sometimes.
03:39I'm just going back up the hill to fetch the furniture.
03:42Would you like a hand?
03:44No, thank you. I am not in my dotage.
03:46I didn't mention dotage.
03:48Just as well.
03:50Distinctly.
03:52All right, Rocky, what have you been saying to her?
03:54Why pick on me?
03:56Well, somebody's obviously said something to her.
03:58You're the most likely candidate.
04:00Condemned without a hearing.
04:02Well, you called her a silly old bat only an hour ago.
04:04I've been calling her a silly old bat for years.
04:06It's a form of endearment.
04:07Yes, it is.
04:09I mean, if Rocky didn't call her that at least once a day,
04:11she'd feel sadly neglected.
04:13Well, somebody's said something to her.
04:15Well, it wasn't me, was it,
04:17when I said that the pork pie was hard?
04:19No, she was fractious long before we got to the pork pie.
04:21Perhaps it's a man.
04:23A man?
04:25Yes, you know.
04:27Trousers, low voice.
04:29That sort of thing.
04:31Mrs. Bale?
04:33Well, don't say it like that.
04:35It is Mrs. Bale.
04:37A man?
04:39He was an unmitigated swine, I'm afraid.
04:41Really?
04:43Yes, he was assistant manager at the local co-op.
04:45He ran off with a dolly bird from the bacon and fats counter.
04:47Good gracious.
04:49When was this?
04:51Oh, way back in the mists of time.
04:53She never talks about him.
04:55Yes, but I'm not talking about someone
04:57from the mists of time.
04:59I'm talking about a man now.
05:01A man now?
05:03Don't start that again.
05:05Well, let's be honest.
05:07He's not a man, is he?
05:09Well, I don't know.
05:11I mean, what's the name of the grocer in the village?
05:13Mr...
05:14Harris.
05:15Harris.
05:16No, Wells.
05:17No, Wells.
05:18Wells.
05:19What about him?
05:21Yes, well, he's always very attentive when she's in his shop.
05:23He helps her pile up the sidecar,
05:25and I know for a fact
05:27they invited her to the pictures the other week.
05:29Did she go?
05:31Well, no.
05:33Of course.
05:35It's not a man at all.
05:37I am not in my dotage,
05:39and I am not a spent force.
05:42Now, it's hardly likely
05:44that a suitor would accuse her of being those, is it?
05:47You're right.
05:49Well, don't all look so surprised.
05:51I'm not just a pretty face.
05:53She's a first-rate drummer, too.
05:55Well, so it's not a man after all.
05:57I never believed it was.
05:59All right, Clever, then you say something constructive.
06:01All right.
06:02Why don't I ask Mrs. Bell?
06:04Frontal attack?
06:05A shop with fixed bayonets?
06:07She probably never says.
06:09Well, we won't know if we don't ask, will we?
06:11Well, don't go at it like a bull in a china shop.
06:13What?
06:15Well, when you ask her.
06:17Come in.
06:19Afternoon, all.
06:21Oh, come in, Law.
06:23No, I'd better not.
06:25I've been composting,
06:27so I've probably pondered it.
06:29I just came to say I'll be off now.
06:31Oh, right.
06:33See you next week, then.
06:35Right.
06:37I'll be off, then.
06:39The boy needs paying.
06:41Oh, I'm sorry, Law.
06:43Why didn't you say?
06:45Well, I didn't like to.
06:47Mrs. Bale usually handles that end of things.
06:49Oh, my handbag's in the kitchen.
06:51Well, I'll wait there, then.
06:53Afternoon, all.
06:55Bye, Law.
06:57Now, there's a source.
06:59Oh, he was only asking for his wages.
07:01No, dear, the other sort of source.
07:03Local knowledge.
07:05How much is Mrs. Bale?
07:07Worth a crack.
07:09Well, I'll ask.
07:11And you don't go at it like a bull in a china shop, will you?
07:17Law?
07:19Yes?
07:21Oh, I didn't mean to startle you,
07:23only you had a hook loose.
07:25Oh, no, that's fine.
07:27Now, where did I...
07:29Oh, there.
07:31There we are.
07:33Thanks, Law.
07:35I'll be off, then.
07:37Would you like a cup of tea?
07:39No, thanks.
07:41I've got to wash Mother's hair.
07:43Perhaps something stronger?
07:45No, I daresen't.
07:47She smells drink on my breath before sunset.
07:49There'll be hell to pay.
07:51I'll be off, then.
07:53No, Law, just a minute.
07:55I want to ask you something.
07:57Oh, is it of a horticultural nature?
07:59Well, not exactly.
08:01Only I'm not a lot of good outside that.
08:04It's about Mrs. Bale.
08:06Oh, dear.
08:08Why, oh, dear?
08:10Well, she's a woman.
08:12Well, yes, I know. So am I.
08:14Well, that makes it worse.
08:16I'm out of my depth with women.
08:18Oh, no, no, this isn't a personal question.
08:20Well, what is it, then?
08:22No. Do you know anything that could have upset her recently?
08:25Well, that is personal.
08:27Well, yes, I suppose it is, but I promise you,
08:29this is not a prurient inquiry.
08:31Is it?
08:33Well, I mean, I'm not just being nosy.
08:35I'm very fond of Mrs. Bale,
08:37and if there is something upsetting her,
08:39I'd like to know what it is.
08:41Well, that's very tender of you.
08:43Oh, thank you.
08:45So would you have any idea what it is?
08:47No.
08:49Mind you, there was one thing.
08:51Yes?
08:53There was talk of a balloonist.
08:55A balloonist?
08:57Well, as I say, it were just gossip.
08:59Oh, quite. What happened?
09:00Well, it is 15 years ago.
09:02Well, it can hardly be that, then, can it?
09:05Probably not.
09:07Is it all right if I go now?
09:09Oh, yes, of course.
09:11See you next weekend, then, if you're down.
09:13Right.
09:15Look, I've just had a thought.
09:17Yes?
09:19There is one way of finding out what's bothering Mrs. Bale.
09:21How?
09:23Ask her. Goodbye.
09:28I'm not very hungry.
09:30You're not angling for a custard tart, are you?
09:32No.
09:34I have to tell the truth, I don't feel 100% at all.
09:36You're trying to wriggle out of talking to Mrs. Bale.
09:39I'm not.
09:41Oh, no? I reintroduced the subject over soup,
09:43which I have to add, you ate heartily.
09:45Drank.
09:47Drank, drank.
09:49We bring it up again over the main course and decided
09:51the best time for you to talk to her is after the pudding.
09:53So you start picking at your lamb.
09:55Now you're pushing the rhubarb crumble around your plate
09:57and saying you're at death's door.
09:58If you...
10:00Windsor Strong to Gale in Shetland and...
10:02Why do you both stop talking every time I come into the room?
10:05Coincidence?
10:07You were just coming at the end of a sentence.
10:09I refuse to believe that if you is the end of a sentence.
10:12You did.
10:14If you did, that was a whole sentence.
10:16Did what?
10:18Hop.
10:20Are you talking about hopping?
10:22Really?
10:24Yes, they're pretty far-ranging, our conversations.
10:25The rhubarb crumble is not digested.
10:27It's merely disturbed.
10:29I don't feel very well.
10:31Nonsense.
10:33A large brandy with your coffee will do the trick.
10:35No, I don't think a large...
10:37Shall I serve the coffee now or later?
10:39Oh, now, please, Mrs. Bell.
10:41As you will.
10:43You can continue your conversation about hopping.
10:45You see?
10:47She said nonsense.
10:49She's said that about illness ever since I've known her.
10:51If I walked in here with a spear sticking out of my chest,
10:52she'd just say,
10:54do pull that out, it's ruining your shirt.
10:56It's illness now.
10:58It's not just not feeling well, it's illness.
11:00Call it what you like.
11:02Well, it's very convenient.
11:04It was your idea to talk to her.
11:06Yes, but not for me to do the talking.
11:08You volunteered me for that.
11:10No, but you've known her longer than I have.
11:12I know, but you're a woman.
11:14Oh, why do men always say it like that?
11:16Well, because...
11:18Well, I'll tell you why, because it's a real cop-out.
11:20You're a woman is meant to sound flattering.
11:22I've got a dirty job and I don't fancy it,
11:24and will you do it?
11:26I thought you weren't a feminist.
11:28I'm not, but I am, as you've just pointed out, a woman.
11:30Look, I'm not swinging the lead.
11:32I really don't feel up to a heart-to-heart with Mrs. Bale.
11:34Oh!
11:36Oh!
11:38Oh, you are rather hot.
11:40I know.
11:42Oh, perhaps you'd better have an early night.
11:44Yes, perhaps I'd better...
11:46Why don't we both have an early night?
11:48I thought you weren't feeling well.
11:50Not that sort of early night.
11:52I'll go to Moria.
11:54No, something's bothering her,
11:56and I really do...
11:58Mid-sentence again!
12:00I'm going to bed.
12:02And I really do think you should go to bed.
12:04It's no good buckling under, you know.
12:06I'm not buckling under, I'm just going to bed.
12:08Well, open all the windows.
12:10Yes, Mrs. Bale.
12:12I shan't be up late myself.
12:14All right.
12:16A liqueur of some sort?
12:18Oh, no thanks, Mrs. Bale.
12:20I tell you what, why don't you sit down
12:22and have a drink with me?
12:24Well, if you insist.
12:26No, I don't insist.
12:28I was just inviting you.
12:30Shall I pour?
12:32Oh, certainly not.
12:34No, sorry.
12:36Well, let's chat.
12:38Chat?
12:40Yes, you know, that thing that men
12:42imagine we do all the time.
12:44He was a slender man
12:46with piercing blue eyes.
12:48Who?
12:49My father told Mrs. Tring in the post office
12:51who told Mr. Wells the grocer
12:53who told me when I went in for some eggs.
12:55It makes email look obsolete.
12:59And in answer to your question,
13:01yes, we did have a brief
13:03but very passionate affair.
13:06Are you shocked?
13:08No.
13:10I mean a slender balloonist
13:12with piercing blue eyes.
13:14Well, any woman could...
13:16No, that wasn't my question, Mrs. Bale.
13:17I wasn't delving into your private life.
13:19Then I had to ask,
13:21what were you doing?
13:23Look, we're friends, aren't we?
13:25No.
13:27I have a great deal of respect for you
13:29and I do believe you're the best thing
13:31that ever happened to Mr. Lionel,
13:33but friends...
13:35Well, could we begin?
13:37Where?
13:39Well, you could start by calling me cheese.
13:41I most certainly could not.
13:43And I could call you...
13:45Mrs. Bale.
13:47We all know that something's troubling you
13:49and, well, is there anything we can do to help?
13:51Is there anything I can do to help?
13:53I apologize.
13:55What for?
13:57For allowing any small problem I may have
13:59to adversely affect my efficiency
14:01as a housekeeper.
14:03It doesn't.
14:05It hasn't.
14:07What small problem?
14:09Mine.
14:11LOL Ferris always describes you
14:13as a tender woman.
14:15I know, it makes me sound like a piece of steak.
14:17And he's right.
14:19Mrs. Bale?
14:21Yes?
14:23One day, will you tell me more
14:25about the slender balloonist
14:27with the piercing blue eyes?
14:29Perhaps.
14:31One day.
14:39Shh!
14:41Who are you talking to?
14:43The door.
14:45Did I wake you?
14:47Oh!
14:49You didn't have to do that.
14:51Yes, I did.
14:53The suspense of waiting for you
14:55to bump into something in the dark
14:57would have kept me awake anyway.
14:59How are you feeling?
15:01Still putting it on.
15:03You're not going to go all noble on me, are you?
15:05I don't feel at all noble.
15:07I thought Mrs. Bale said open the window.
15:09Mrs. Bale is a Spartan.
15:11You should let some fresh air in.
15:13Why?
15:15Because I used to be a nurse.
15:17Have you had a drink?
15:19Yes.
15:21I got a case of scotch under the bed.
15:23You're going to be difficult, aren't you?
15:25What are you doing?
15:27You can't come in here.
15:29Why, are you expecting someone else?
15:31You might catch whatever I've got.
15:33If I'm going to catch it,
15:35I'm going to catch it anyway, aren't I?
15:37Terrible draft from that window.
15:39Think of it as fresh air.
15:41If you're no better in the morning,
15:43I'm going to call the doctor.
15:45I don't want a doctor.
15:47Oh, damn.
15:49You're going to have to swear harder than that to stop me.
15:51No.
15:53I need a pee.
15:55Oh.
15:57Do you want a bottle?
15:59Certainly not.
16:01Well, I can manage.
16:03I can manage.
16:05Well, let's just see, shall we?
16:07Let's get the dressing gown on.
16:09Are you trying to dislocate my shoulder?
16:11You used to be a nurse.
16:13Well, you've lost it.
16:15Just let me do it then.
16:17More of a fencing match.
16:19I didn't get past our guard once.
16:22You don't have to come with me.
16:24Just as far as the bathroom door.
16:26You look a bit wobbly to me.
16:29You nurses and your professional jargon.
16:32And don't lock the door.
16:34Don't worry, I shall pitch headfirst down the loo.
16:37I sincerely hope not.
16:39Just don't lock the door.
16:41What's going on?
16:43I'm being taken for a wee-wee.
16:45I'm going in.
16:50I can do it by myself.
16:54Well, don't lock it.
16:57I'll do a deal.
16:59I won't lock it if you'll both move away or sing.
17:03What shall we sing?
17:05Let's just move away.
17:07I know men can be awful babies, but how is he?
17:10Well, a bit babyish, but he's not at all well.
17:12Shall I nip downstairs and whip up an egg custard?
17:15On the whole, I think not, Mrs. Bale.
17:17A good night may do the trick, and if not, I'll send for the doctor in the morning.
17:20The local doctor?
17:22Yes.
17:23Why?
17:24Why not see your own doctor?
17:26Well, I don't think he'd appreciate the drive.
17:28No, no, I meant go back to London in the morning.
17:30Well, I don't think if Lionel's not better, he'd appreciate the drive.
17:33Why, what's wrong with the local chap?
17:35I didn't say anything was wrong with him.
17:37Well, you made a funny face.
17:39I expect Mr. Lionel will be quite well in the morning.
17:42Call me if you need me.
17:44Good night.
17:45Good night.
17:50Are you all right in there?
17:52I asked you to move away or sing.
17:56Raindrops keep falling on my head.
17:59But that doesn't mean to save my heart.
18:07Is it a bird?
18:09Is it a plane?
18:10Nope.
18:11It's Mrs. Bale.
18:13That's a very silly hat you're wearing.
18:15People who live in greenhouses...
18:17Mine is functional.
18:19Yours, I assume, is some sort of fashion statement.
18:23It isn't.
18:25Just something I threw on.
18:27Well, I should throw it off again if I were you.
18:29Excuse me.
18:31You're going scrambling.
18:33I'm going to get something for Mr. Lionel.
18:35He's not very well.
18:37Poor old Lionel, what's the trouble?
18:38The trouble is that Mrs. Hardcastle, the younger, has sent for the doctor.
18:44The front door's open.
18:46Let yourself in.
18:48What's wrong with sending for the doctor?
19:03Hi, honey, I'm home.
19:05Alistair?
19:06Where did you spring from?
19:08Jean, you were a nurse, you know about these things.
19:10How's my main man?
19:12Not at all well.
19:14He's hardly touched his breakfast.
19:16Shall I pop out and get him something? Custard tart?
19:18No, I think not. Come and have a cup of tea.
19:20All right. Incidentally, what do you think of the hat?
19:23Well, to be truthful, I think he looks a bit silly.
19:25Oh!
19:27It's all right. I'll go. You have a sit down.
19:29No, no, no. I'll go.
19:31I'll go.
19:37I'm not used to Lionel being ill.
19:40I'll be fine. The guy's an old bull elephant.
19:43Mrs. Bale said you'd sent for the doctor.
19:46Yes, he's coming after surgery.
19:48I have to say she didn't sound that keen on the idea.
19:50No, she's more faith in some old girl with a cauldron that she has in doctors.
19:54Where does she keep this cauldron?
19:56Ask her if you have the nerve.
19:58No, thanks. I don't see myself as a frog.
20:01It is good to see you, Alistair, but you haven't told me why you're here.
20:04Oh, um...
20:06Lionel will go for races this afternoon.
20:08He didn't mention that. He hates horse racing.
20:11Ah, no. This is point to point.
20:13Still horses, isn't it?
20:15Well, yes, but...
20:17Oh, I hear that bell again.
20:20I wish I'd never given it to him.
20:22Those stairs lose their novelty value after the 15th time.
20:25Let me do it.
20:27This could be a guy-to-guy thing.
20:30Yes, like his new-found interest in horse racing.
20:33Right.
20:35Oh, he's coming! He's coming!
20:49You rang, bastard?
20:57Just trying to raise a smile, Lion.
21:00I don't feel like smiling. What are you doing here, anyway?
21:01Well, not basking in the warmth of your welcome, that's for sure.
21:04We had a date, remember?
21:07Oh, yes. Well, that's off.
21:09Where's Gene?
21:11Having a sit-down.
21:13I get the impression you've been over-tinkling.
21:15As a matter of fact, I've been a model of restraint.
21:21Rocky and Madge.
21:23Oh, God, they're all I need.
21:25Leave this to me, mate.
21:27I'll stop them in their tracks.
21:28Might as well try to stop a tank with a pop-gun.
21:32Well, yes, he is, rather.
21:34How did you know?
21:36Because Mrs Tring's daughter, who works in the surgery, told her mother.
21:39And then she told Molly Kindred at the garage.
21:41Who mentioned it to Mrs Williams at the wool shop, who told us.
21:44Remind me to start a rumour down here one day.
21:47Well, we'd better pop up and see the boy, eh?
21:49Yes, ginger him up a bit.
21:51Oh, I don't think he...
21:53Don't point in disturbing him. He's sleeping like a baby.
21:55Ah.
21:56Must have been the cat nap.
21:58Yes.
22:00Come on, Madge.
22:02Ginger him up. That's what he needs.
22:04Well, what did he want that time?
22:06I never actually found out.
22:08This will do the trick.
22:10What's in the bowl, Mrs Bale?
22:12Goose fat.
22:14You say goose fat?
22:16Goose fat and brown paper on the chest.
22:18It never fails.
22:20Oh.
22:22Yes?
22:24Dr Stoker.
22:26I'm so sorry.
22:28Do come in.
22:33It's not, um, Bram Stoker, is it?
22:37Will you leave me alone?
22:39I'm not being smothered in goose fat, and that's final.
22:41Nobody mentioned you being smothered in it.
22:43Go away.
22:45They work wonders, some of these old-fashioned remedies.
22:47Yes, what about a bread poultice?
22:49Well, they're for cuts, aren't they?
22:51Who cares? Slap one on anyway.
22:53Will you stop it? Go away.
22:54I will not be a brave boy and I will not undo my buttons.
22:56The doctor's here.
22:59Good morning.
23:01Good morning.
23:03Come on, all of you, out.
23:05And take your goose fat with you.
23:07I shall be outside if you need me.
23:09All right, let's have a look at your...
23:19You don't look well.
23:21That's encouraging.
23:22Hot and cold?
23:24Yes.
23:26Achy joints?
23:27Yes.
23:29You're not well.
23:31I realise that.
23:33It's going round, this, um...
23:35What is?
23:37Oh, whatever it is.
23:39But don't you know what it is?
23:41No.
23:43What are you writing?
23:45A prescription.
23:47How can you write a prescription if you don't know what's wrong with me?
23:49Well, it's worth a try, isn't it?
23:52We could go for those.
23:54Might work.
23:59You're not still sulking over your goose fat, are you, Mrs Bale?
24:03I'm not sulking at all.
24:05I'm concerned about Mr Hardcastle the Younger.
24:08He'll be OK. The doc's with him.
24:10That's what I'm concerned about.
24:12Well, he was a fat lot of good.
24:14What did he say?
24:16It's something going around.
24:18Wonderful thing, modern medicine.
24:20The man's a charlatan.
24:22I don't see it as strongly as that.
24:24With a bedside manner like that, he shouldn't be a doctor at all.
24:27He should be a mortuary attendant.
24:29Now, what are you doing up?
24:31Having a moan.
24:33What was his name again?
24:35Stoker. You must know him. He's the local man.
24:37Oh, we never go to the doctor's.
24:39Well, what do you do when you're not well?
24:41Get better, of course.
24:43Yes, which is what you must do, young man.
24:45I'm not going to have that goose fat.
24:47Well, if you want the opinion of someone who trained with Florence Nightingale,
24:49I think it's a virus and you'll be as right as rain in a day or two.
24:52What's the prescription made up then, Ingrid?
24:54Oh, I don't know about that.
24:56I mean, he wouldn't actually prescribe anything that would harm you.
24:58I could whiz down the chemist, now, if you like.
25:00Oh, would you, Alastair?
25:02Well, we must be whizzing too. We've got to get down to Brighton.
25:04What are you doing in Brighton?
25:06Stock car racing.
25:08You're not.
25:10We're watching. We're watching.
25:12Don't let him be a nuisance, Jean Paduta.
25:14I shan't. Bye.
25:16Bye.
25:18I'll be back before you can say, are you back already?
25:20I think I'm going back to bed.
25:22I should.
25:24And I don't want to see Dr. Death again.
25:26Spent force, indeed.
25:28It was him.
25:31He upset you.
25:33Very well, it was him.
25:35I went to see him a few days ago, much against my better judgment.
25:39I'd been feeling a little tired of late.
25:41A spent force wasn't his actual diagnosis, was it?
25:45He may not have used those actual words, but the implication was clear.
25:49He kept saying, at your time of life...
25:53He kept saying that to me as well.
25:55Everything's bound to slow down a bit.
25:57And that.
25:59Oh, I see what you mean by his bedside manner.
26:01Did he prescribe anything?
26:03Oh, some jollop. I poured that straight down the sink.
26:05Oh, Mrs. Baird.
26:07Oh, it's all right. Lol's mother made me up a potion,
26:09and I feel as right as rain again.
26:11Well, what was in this potion?
26:13Who's to say?
26:15Well, we know who to call in next time somebody's unwell.
26:17Lol's mother.
26:19Who's the goose fat?
26:21I am going back to bed now.
26:23Yes, come on, soldier.
26:25Shall I carry you up?
26:27Not at our time of life, Mrs. Baird.
26:32There. Comfy?
26:35Yes, thank you, nurse.
26:37Would you like the curtains closed?
26:39No, thanks. I might miss Lol's mum flying past on her broomstick.
26:46I've been overusing the bill, haven't I?
26:47Marginally.
26:49Lionel.
26:51You did know that Alistair was coming today, didn't you?
26:53Of course.
26:55Well, you didn't say anything.
26:57No, I thought I did.
26:59He said you planned to go racing. You don't like racing.
27:02Oh, this isn't horses. This is cars.
27:04Oh, Alistair said it was horses.
27:06Oh.
27:08Unless, of course, it was horses racing cars.
27:10It's not fair to interrogate a sick man.
27:12I know.
27:14So what have you planned?
27:15All right, if you must know.
27:17No, no, no, no.
27:19I don't have to know.
27:22Well?
27:24We're going into winter, sir.
27:26Alistair knows a bloke who specialises in antique jewellery.
27:29I wanted to find something special for your birthday.
27:32Oh, that's sweet.
27:35I shouldn't do that.
27:37He might catch what I've got.
27:39Well, I think I've got it anyway.
27:41Oh, dear.
27:43You're hopping in.
27:45No, I'm just going to lie down for a bit.
27:47Two things.
27:49No doctor death and no goose fat and brown paper.
27:52Right.
27:54You'd better have this.
28:08You must remember this.
28:10A kiss is still a kiss.
28:13A sigh is just a sigh.
28:18The fundamental things of love
28:21As time goes by.
28:29And when two lovers move
28:32They still say I love you
28:35Of that you can't rely
28:37Of that you can't rely
28:42The world will always welcome lovers
28:48As time goes by.
