00:02:00You're late.
00:02:27Sorry.
00:02:28It was unavoidable.
00:02:29Trains on Sunday.
00:02:31You know what they're like.
00:02:32Unavoidable? I don't believe it.
00:02:34I've eaten all the food.
00:02:36You've eaten all the food?
00:02:38Now that's serious.
00:02:41Is this all there is?
00:02:42Told you.
00:02:44What are all these candles for anyway? It's spooky.
00:02:47Is this what you used to get up to with him every night?
00:02:51I just like it, that's all.
00:02:53You've got to stop it.
00:02:54It looks like you're grieving.
00:02:56Grieving for a relationship.
00:02:58Ten times worse.
00:03:00Thank you, Richard.
00:03:03I've been waiting here for the last six hours just to hear you say that.
00:03:06It is all I need.
00:03:08It is what you need.
00:03:09Come on, I'm going to get you out of here.
00:03:11This place is bad for you.
00:03:12No, there's nowhere to go around here on a Sunday.
00:03:14Oh, now she can't even leave the house.
00:03:15Come on, Natalie, there's no need to overdo it.
00:03:19Wait, wait.
00:03:21Just wait.
00:03:23What's that for?
00:03:25You can't even go down the street without one.
00:03:27He's giving up.
00:03:29Get off.
00:03:31Stop it.
00:03:33I don't like seeing you unhappy.
00:03:34Well, I am unhappy.
00:03:36I'm incredibly unhappy.
00:03:38I mean, you buy a flat with your lover and then he leaves you within two months.
00:03:42Or six and a half weeks, actually.
00:03:44It's not many worse things.
00:03:45No.
00:03:47And our mum and dad are both gone.
00:03:49You're the only person I can tell.
00:03:52Which is terrible.
00:03:56I haven't seen you for ages.
00:03:58I'm sorry.
00:03:59I've been really busy.
00:04:01Students aren't busy.
00:04:03It's a good course.
00:04:04Planning pretend cities.
00:04:07I'm very happy.
00:04:09Yes, I bet you are.
00:04:11Raving it up in London.
00:04:14Stop playing, Rose.
00:04:15What are you doing?
00:04:17You should always look in these wherever you go.
00:04:19You can judge a town by what's in its tomatoes.
00:04:23I think that's disgusting.
00:04:26Bloody hell.
00:04:27It's a tooth.
00:04:34Come on.
00:04:36You're out of condition.
00:04:37Come on.
00:04:38Come on.
00:04:40Take this coat off.
00:04:41Take your coat off.
00:04:45Too much smoking.
00:04:46Look at you.
00:04:47Come on.
00:04:54Jesus.
00:05:16I wish I could make it better.
00:05:18I wish I could wake up and be happy.
00:05:21Just one morning it would be gone, this feeling, and never come back.
00:05:26You could make that happen.
00:05:29Get out of town.
00:05:30Start all over again.
00:05:33A new career?
00:05:38I'm too old to start again.
00:05:39You're not too old.
00:05:40Don't be stupid.
00:05:42That job was never what you wanted.
00:05:43A buyer for that bloody awful store.
00:05:45You wanted to be artistic.
00:05:46I'm not artistic.
00:05:50You know where you want to be.
00:05:53Kiss me.
00:05:55Come here.
00:06:06I'm sorry.
00:06:08I just needed something to hug.
00:06:12Even you, even my little brother.
00:06:21Go back to sleep.
00:06:23And you haven't made me feel better, so don't look so smug.
00:06:36Shit.
00:06:43Hey, hey.
00:06:48It's me.
00:06:49What's the matter?
00:06:50I've left my wallet in your flat.
00:06:52So go and fetch it.
00:06:53I haven't got a key.
00:06:54Please.
00:06:55I don't want to miss the train.
00:06:57I don't believe this.
00:06:59You appear out of nowhere, use my flat as a hotel.
00:07:01I hardly see you.
00:07:03Just this time.
00:07:05Please.
00:07:06You have to get permission.
00:07:08You have to ask my 14-year-old boss.
00:07:19There.
00:07:20The things I do for you.
00:07:22I can't believe it.
00:07:28How's the job?
00:07:30Now he asks.
00:07:32It's horrible there.
00:07:33I've become a secretary.
00:07:34My boss is terrified I'm going backwards.
00:07:38You know, I look somewhat creative to her.
00:07:40You're trendy.
00:07:41And see what happens?
00:07:42I feel like I'm 150 and six years old.
00:07:44Stop it.
00:07:46Okay, okay.
00:07:47I can do anything you told me, so it must be true.
00:07:50You're not listening.
00:07:51No, no, I am.
00:07:52Look, it's just the train.
00:07:54Look, we may need to talk to you now.
00:07:56Try and do it here.
00:08:00This is stupid.
00:08:01Go on, then.
00:08:02Go.
00:08:03Go.
00:08:04I'm sorry I missed the train.
00:08:05And better write, or I'll kill you.
00:08:07And ring, too.
00:08:08Scotland's not that far away.
00:08:11I may be busy.
00:08:12No, you won't.
00:08:13Building a new town, that's nothing.
00:08:14You'll have plenty of time.
00:08:18Come on, where are you?
00:08:24Oh, Richard, be there.
00:08:30Hello?
00:08:31Richard.
00:08:32Natalie, it's you.
00:08:36It's only my sister.
00:08:42Only?
00:08:44Is that who you're talking to?
00:08:45My, uh, my secretary.
00:08:46We're, um, we're all alone here.
00:08:47I suppose you're in the middle of screwing her.
00:08:48As it happens, yes.
00:08:49But this is not a regular occurrence.
00:08:50Jesus, you're incorrigible.
00:08:51It's four o'clock in the afternoon.
00:08:52We're celebrating our last few days of freedom.
00:08:53They've finally got the office finished.
00:08:54This place is like that of a horror movie.
00:08:55Maybe it's time to go.
00:08:56No, no, no, no.
00:08:57No, no, no, no.
00:08:58No, no, no, no.
00:08:59No, no, no, no.
00:09:00No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:01No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:02No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:03No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:05Well, I've got a new job.
00:09:06Another one?
00:09:07Yeah, this one's on the continent, if I get it.
00:09:08What?
00:09:09You mean you'll be going abroad?
00:09:10Maybe, yeah.
00:09:11Listen, Natalie, um, I've got to put some clothes on.
00:09:12So, uh, I'll call you tomorrow, OK?
00:09:13Promise.
00:09:14Yes, it might be an idea to get dressed
00:09:15talking about naked in the middle of your office.
00:09:16That's right.
00:09:17I've got to go.
00:09:18I've got to go.
00:09:19I've got to go.
00:09:20I've got to go.
00:09:21I've got to go.
00:09:22I've got to go.
00:09:23I've got to go.
00:09:24I've got to go.
00:09:25I've got to go.
00:09:26I've got to go.
00:09:27I've got to go.
00:09:28I've got to go.
00:09:29I've got to go.
00:09:30Yes, it might be an idea to get dressed
00:09:31talking about naked in
00:09:32the middle of your office.
00:09:33That's ridiculous.
00:09:36I don't like this conversation.
00:09:37I don't like this conversation.
00:10:00Get out of the house!
00:10:38A Surprise present
00:10:40Channel To You
00:10:48Frankly, I'm amazed to see someone like you here.
00:10:51The cut you'll be taking in salary is immense.
00:10:55All these jobs you've done.. Pan European, Brussels..
00:10:57Oh, I was taking notice of that.
00:10:58It was just luck.
00:10:59And I wasn't happy doing them.
00:11:01So you think you're going to get this job do you?
00:11:03Not at the moment, no.
00:11:06I mean, you only get the terrific jobs, and this isn't one of them.
00:11:09No, I mean, this interview's going rather badly, so...
00:11:14Oh, don't smoke. I just play with them.
00:11:20I've changed. I saw there was more to life than planning new roads.
00:11:24I discovered the environment a bit late. I'm not putting this well.
00:11:29I've seen so much incompetence among developers, bad planning.
00:11:32I want to do something about that.
00:11:34You realise we have no money to speak of?
00:11:36There are no planning controls in this part of the town. All we can do is hound.
00:11:40You mean a sort of urban Greenpeace?
00:11:44I'll let you know. I'll call you.
00:11:47No.
00:11:49Tell me now.
00:11:51I prefer to cut the bullshit, and I imagine you do too.
00:11:54Yeah.
00:12:01Hello. Urban Alert.
00:12:04OK. Hang on. Richard.
00:12:07Richard! Phone call for you.
00:12:09I can't take it. It's your sister.
00:12:11Oh, shit. Yeah, I was meant to...
00:12:14I suppose I'd better take it.
00:12:18Hiya.
00:12:19You've been back six weeks. You haven't called.
00:12:22I did call. I left a message on your machine.
00:12:25You didn't call yesterday.
00:12:27You want to come over? Meet Sinclair?
00:12:29Yeah.
00:12:30Don't do that Sinclair, since you didn't manage to make it to the wedding.
00:12:33Food. Food's up.
00:12:38Hiya.
00:12:39Come to lunch on Saturday. 1pm.
00:12:43Yeah. Sure. I'll try to make it.
00:12:46OK. Bye.
00:12:49Families.
00:12:53Look, I want to get a job in the West End.
00:12:55Oh, yeah? What sort of job?
00:12:58No. No, not that. I mean, just a job.
00:13:01I'm beginning to think we've made a real mistake.
00:13:06Hmm. Could be.
00:13:08I don't usually eat the food I deliver.
00:13:10Come on. Risk it.
00:13:13Ah, come in. Come in, come in, come in.
00:13:15Sit down.
00:13:16come on. risk it.
00:13:18ha ha ha
00:13:39come in come in come in come in sit sit sit down

00:14:04now
00:14:06you know you said on August the 4th
00:14:10our new block will be an asset for the whole area we want to share it
00:14:14exactly
00:14:16we are proud of it and as is the regular practice in America
00:14:18the public will be allowed to see the full glories of our foyer at any time
00:14:21and there will be public tours of the building every day of the week
00:14:25but getting in here mr. Jewel is more difficult than entering Fort Knox
00:14:28that promise was crap wasn't it?
00:14:30I'm not aware of having made that statement but
00:14:34it is a small matter
00:14:36absolutely
00:14:38we're talking of small matters
00:14:40let us now move on to the matter of Thropenny Street
00:14:42well done
00:14:44yeah well Colin doesn't look too pleased
00:14:47what do you expect? applause?
00:14:49from him?
00:14:51shit
00:14:53I was meant to go and have lunch with my sister
00:14:55forget it
00:14:57it's too late now
00:14:59she's married some boring guy I was meant to meet here
00:15:01why don't you go?
00:15:08I don't know
00:16:08you're unbelievably late
00:16:10I know
00:16:12there's practically no food left
00:16:14I've eaten all the food
00:16:16what?
00:16:18don't you remember?
00:16:20nothing
00:16:22this house is
00:16:24extraordinary Natalie
00:16:26I thought I'd come to the wrong place
00:16:30are you going to come in?
00:16:32or are you going to admire it from out there?
00:16:38the brother
00:16:40this at last must be the brother
00:16:42yes at last it is
00:16:44I've been eyeing that last piece of pudding
00:16:46wondering if I could possibly eat it
00:16:48and now you've turned up
00:16:50sit sit
00:16:52have some cold soup
00:16:54it's all your fault we've eaten so much
00:16:58I've learned so much about you
00:17:00most of it extremely interesting
00:17:02I've learned so much about you
00:17:04most of it extremely interesting
00:17:06most of it extremely interesting
00:17:08it's lovely to meet you
00:17:10it's lovely to meet you
00:17:12turns out it adds to the flavor
00:17:14turns out it adds to the flavor
00:17:24this is the estate
00:17:26very impressive
00:17:30I love it here
00:17:32I thought when we moved here
00:17:34we'd stand out
00:17:36eccentrics amongst all these rich pricks
00:17:38but not a bit of it
00:17:40the place is full of madmen
00:17:42dreamers, psychopaths
00:17:44bank managers who want to be painters
00:17:46deep frees and merchants who want to be poets
00:17:48who are really rather boringly normal
00:17:50and restrained in comparison
00:17:52I see you're reading Proust
00:17:54volume 12
00:17:56or is that just for our benefit?
00:17:58if you carry that around
00:18:00I'm guilty, I've never read it
00:18:02I'm afraid though it's nauseating to admit it
00:18:04I have read the entire thing in French
00:18:06I'm afraid though it's nauseating to admit it
00:18:08stop showing off Sinclair
00:18:10rubbish, he's enjoying it
00:18:12apart from anything else it makes me feel so ignorant
00:18:14he must see the car
00:18:18very predictable I know
00:18:20and it's very vulgar showing it to people
00:18:22but it's a magnificent car
00:18:24I just can't help it
00:18:26I do believe I have to confess
00:18:28I have to confess in spending money
00:18:30and not just hoarding it
00:18:32and fortunately there's a lot of money
00:18:34being able to tell people what's going to happen
00:18:36business trends, analysis
00:18:38and the wonderful thing is that you can make an awful lot
00:18:40even if you're wrong
00:18:42most people don't realise that
00:18:44but I'm not wrong
00:18:46not often
00:18:48come on lads, tea time
00:18:50oh no Sinclair, not more eating, what about your diet?
00:18:52the diet starts tomorrow
00:18:54tea is definitely overdue
00:18:58tea
00:19:06so what do you think?
00:19:08oh it's amazing
00:19:10and everything is wonderful
00:19:14and Sinclair?
00:19:16oh he's great
00:19:18does he ever stop talking?
00:19:20not when he's eating
00:19:22as you will see
00:19:24does he ever let you say anything?
00:19:26yes
00:19:28once a week at least
00:19:30and how did you get to speak like this?
00:19:32I've always spoken like this
00:19:34haven't I?
00:19:38why are you wearing this?
00:19:40what do you mean why?
00:19:42you wore it that night when I visited you in your flat
00:19:44you remember
00:19:46that being said

00:20:24what are you waiting for? go on
00:20:34do you know they made a new kind of cream dispenser?
00:20:36market research showed that
00:20:38people really hated cream coming out of plastic things
00:20:40like toothpaste so they made this cow
00:20:42not unlike this one
00:20:44except I think you squeeze its udders
00:20:50come on darling
00:20:52it's not finished yet
00:20:56that took long enough
00:20:58anybody think you hadn't done it before?
00:21:04I never realised the home counties were so beautiful
00:21:08all this, only the city
00:21:10all sorts of things happened here
00:21:12this was the site of a great Victorian party
00:21:14it had columns of elephants here
00:21:18what about your new job?
00:21:20oh it's fine
00:21:22they're very serious

00:22:00do I pass?
00:22:04do I meet with a brother's approval?
00:22:06oh yes
00:22:08it was like being inside a colour supplement
00:22:10pretty women draped about the place
00:22:12golden hair children
00:22:14food available on every surface
00:22:16were you envious?
00:22:18envious? no
00:22:20well maybe a little

00:22:28not particularly none, not at all
00:22:30my parents separated when she was a teenager

00:22:40she didn't get the job but she got in

00:22:48I don't know what you two are up to
00:22:50chat, chat, chat, always at it
00:22:52I want those figures at the end of the day
00:22:54do you understand?
00:22:56jeez
00:23:12what on earth are you doing here?
00:23:22we were just passing
00:23:24on the way to a wedding in Greenwich
00:23:26just couldn't resist dropping by
00:23:28having a peek
00:23:30Sinclair's here, can he come in?
00:23:32Sinclair
00:23:34over here
00:23:36hello
00:23:40he feels a little overdressed for this place
00:23:42because of the wedding
00:23:44forgive this intrusion Richard
00:23:46I feel ludicrously incongruous for a place like this
00:23:48it's fine, don't worry
00:23:50lads are so keen to have a nose around
00:23:54so this is what you wanted
00:23:56yeah, so it appears
00:23:58what plans are these?
00:24:00oh
00:24:02this is
00:24:04this is very interesting
00:24:06I know about this
00:24:08as it happens
00:24:10I feel there may be a solution which nobody has mentioned
00:24:12because they're all so obsessed with a river frontage
00:24:18shouldn't that phone be answered?
00:24:22yeah, probably
00:24:28Sinclair, we've got to go
00:24:30yes, just one moment
00:24:32this is extremely interesting
00:24:38you don't belong here, this isn't you
00:24:40oh yes it is, very definitely
00:24:44I need to see you properly
00:24:46talk about something
00:24:48I'll make an appointment, can you fit me in?
00:24:50sure
00:24:52why not?
00:24:54yeah
00:24:56good
00:25:00Sinclair
00:25:04do I keep this?
00:25:06no, I believe we need that
00:25:24you are four hours late
00:25:26sorry, I have to go shopping for Sinclair
00:25:28is this deliberate?
00:25:30I've been stuck in here for hours, I couldn't go out
00:25:32you were late for lunch, even later than this
00:25:34so it is deliberate
00:25:36what's the matter with you, Richard?
00:25:38at least I might have been able to watch the cricket
00:25:40but it's been raining in Manchester for fuck's sake
00:25:42it's only just started
00:25:44relax, for Christ's sake
00:25:46you're wearing that again
00:25:48is that on purpose too?
00:25:50maybe this time, yes
00:25:52anyway, this isn't much of a greeting
00:25:54everyone's shaved
00:25:58sorry
00:26:04I'm sorry
00:26:06I don't know what that was for
00:26:10can I?

00:26:42come on
00:26:44this is

00:26:52I knew you'd say that
00:26:54I don't know why it happened but it's stopped, it's over
00:26:58let me look at your flat
00:27:10oh, it's a bed
00:27:12don't want to go up there
00:27:14I've been up there recently
00:27:16hardly any, I've been very celibate
00:27:18really?
00:27:20this is nice
00:27:22I spend my savings on this place
00:27:24no, this is not a good idea
00:27:28please Richard, I shouldn't have started this
00:27:30we don't mention it
00:27:32just go and sit over there
00:27:34is that an order?
00:27:36just sit
00:27:44so is it convenient?
00:27:48convenient?
00:27:50this flat for buses
00:27:52for buses?
00:27:54yes, buses
00:27:58yeah
00:28:00I should probably think there are some buses
00:28:02what number buses?
00:28:04I don't know
00:28:06um
00:28:08small buses, you know those ones that beetle about

00:28:56ok
00:28:58ok what?
00:29:06are you clean? are you clean everywhere?
00:29:08yeah, of course

00:29:58shh
00:30:00shh
00:30:26I'm annoyed
00:30:30it's the scaffolding
00:30:32it's driving you mad
00:30:34no, I like it
00:30:36I don't know why
00:30:42and to think
00:30:44we never even really liked each other as kids
00:30:52ok
00:30:54that's the last bit
00:30:56what do you mean last bit?
00:30:58it happened
00:31:00and we don't mention it
00:31:02don't know what got into us, etc
00:31:04precisely, it's never going to happen again
00:31:08anyway
00:31:10it's your fault for being away so long
00:31:12it's always my fault
00:31:14of course
00:31:16I'm going to make the carrots
00:31:20with lots of butter
00:31:24it'll be the best I've ever tasted, I'm sure
00:31:28try to stop it happening
00:31:30and it's finished
00:31:34oh
00:31:36by the way
00:31:38Sinclair wants to have lunch with you
00:31:40Sinclair? Jesus
00:31:42you mention that now
00:31:44sure, it's no problem
00:31:58here you are
00:32:00good
00:32:02I've just got to drop something off
00:32:04come with me
00:32:08these lifts are interesting
00:32:10are they?
00:32:12yeah
00:32:14they've become such a common feature
00:32:16that people hate them
00:32:18they much prefer the old claustrophobia
00:32:20now they all have to pretend that they don't suffer from vertigo
00:32:22and they feel so exposed
00:32:24everybody can see them
00:32:26imagine coming out of a truly terrible meeting
00:32:28and seeing straight down there
00:32:30it's frightening
00:32:32but nobody admits it
00:32:36last delivery, I promise
00:32:38see
00:32:40these ashtrays are interesting, aren't they?
00:32:42ridiculously large
00:32:44people proclaim their importance in such a crass fashion
00:32:46what will a historian make of these ashtrays?
00:32:48you're interested in everything, Sinclair
00:32:50oh yes, lifts, ashtrays
00:32:52this secretary here
00:32:54you stay there
00:32:56he's expecting me
00:33:12all done, simple
00:33:16so many people pretend they're busy
00:33:18don't they? meetings about meetings
00:33:20most of it's bullshit
00:33:22it's just a way of protecting themselves
00:33:24I like to get to know people
00:33:26I like to find out about my clients
00:33:28I like to poke around in their personal lives
00:33:30and I can tell you
00:33:32there's some pretty interesting things going on
00:33:34there's so much cocaine being taken
00:33:36drink too
00:33:38sudden hysterical temper tantrums flaring up
00:33:40we're having one of our great picnics soon
00:33:42they're not to be missed
00:33:44you must be there
00:33:46Natalie didn't want you to come for some reason
00:33:52hiya
00:34:04what's the matter with you?
00:34:10what's happened? what's going on?
00:34:12it's about Colin, he sent a memo
00:34:14yours should be somewhere
00:34:18he's ill
00:34:23I thought so
00:34:25I knew he might be
00:34:31hi, it's Colin
00:34:33yeah
00:34:38yeah, well don't stare
00:34:40don't do that
00:34:42sorry, I didn't know he was gay
00:34:44he isn't
00:34:46he's not
00:34:48he's had it for some time, I knew actually
00:34:50he says he may be spending more time in hospital
00:34:52and don't worry
00:34:56out of the question
00:35:06hey, hold the lift
00:35:08can you hold the lift please
00:35:10thanks
00:35:12thanks
00:35:16hiya
00:35:18don't start any street plans by the end of the week, ok?
00:35:20yeah of course
00:35:22I'll make sure that happens
00:35:36now don't forget
00:35:38I've got a full diary
00:35:40so the sooner the better
00:35:42understood
00:35:44have a nice
00:35:46have a nice
00:35:48have a good weekend
00:35:56the sun is getting hotter every year
00:36:00I heard in New Zealand
00:36:02New Zealand
00:36:06wouldn't it be interesting
00:36:08because of the greenhouse effect
00:36:10people started using parasols again
00:36:12so we ended this century using them
00:36:14like they did at the end of the last
00:36:16you could market them riches, make a fortune
00:36:20of course there will be winds
00:36:22at 170 miles an hour too
00:36:24storms like we've never seen
00:36:26they won't be much use during those
00:36:30these miniature hurricanes
00:36:32are going to get more and more
00:36:34twice a year
00:36:36trees are going to become
00:36:38quite a rarity in southern England
00:36:40so you're a disaster freak, are you
00:36:44no
00:36:46these are just facts
00:36:48I wonder if your hair will ever be
00:36:50its real colour again
00:36:54did you know her before?
00:36:56before?
00:36:58before Sinclair of course
00:37:02he's changed her completely apparently
00:37:06I wonder if she's really clever enough for him
00:37:10I need to go for a walk
00:37:14I'll be back
00:37:34look for mushrooms
00:37:36but don't kill us
00:37:38you know the ones to pick
00:37:44you shouldn't be here
00:37:52don't be silly
00:37:54Natalie
00:37:58we need to see you
00:38:00listen we agreed
00:38:02we agreed nothing and you want to see me
00:38:06can't just pretend it never happened
00:38:08can't we
00:38:10don't you want to talk about it
00:38:12ask why
00:38:14is it because
00:38:16our parents are dead
00:38:18is it because we didn't see each other for a long time
00:38:20there isn't a reason
00:38:22that's right
00:38:24I wonder what those two are talking about
00:38:26me I shouldn't wonder
00:38:32Sinclair's coming he can see
00:38:34I don't want him to think anything
00:38:36you are just my sister what can he think
00:38:38Natalie
00:38:42maybe we need a proper meeting to clear this up
00:38:44exactly
00:38:46I'm not coming to you again
00:38:48it's just possible
00:38:50occasionally I go out of town for work
00:38:52oh yes the employment agency
00:38:54thank you
00:38:56nearly made me change my mind
00:38:58sometimes I go away to interview people
00:39:00maybe I can say I'm doing that
00:39:02yeah
00:39:04oh don't whisper like that
00:39:06I don't want us to look as if we're plotting
00:39:08but we are
00:39:10making normal arrangements with my brother
00:39:12he's making fun of my job
00:39:14she doesn't need to do that
00:39:16job
00:39:18it's ridiculous
00:39:20I'm a partner in it now
00:39:22it makes all the difference
00:39:24she doesn't need to work for work's sake
00:39:26meeting morons every day
00:39:30we can meet in Sinclair's parents flat
00:39:32what
00:39:34are you crazy what are you trying to do

00:39:42it's a bit grotty but it's somewhere to talk

00:55:15get yourself a girlfriend
00:55:17you're setting me tasks now
00:55:19I'm not seeing you until that happens because you're getting addicted to this

00:55:31it's messily
00:55:33unless we're careful
00:55:35so maybe I've always
00:55:37fancied you a little and
00:55:39probably I should never have done anything

00:58:27never likely to go
00:58:29what is this

00:58:33I was just curious

00:59:33what's that twinkle for
00:59:35I don't believe this Richard
00:59:37the vanity just get out of here
00:59:39before I lose my temper
00:59:41I was just asking you out
00:59:43I thought you were meant to be something of an expert
00:59:45you seem decidedly rusty to me
00:59:47rusty certainly not what's the answer
00:59:49no
00:59:51so obviously thinking about another
00:59:53another what
00:59:55I was going to say another woman
00:59:57but it's more likely to be a 15 year old girl
00:59:59isn't it who is she you at a loose end tonight
01:00:01because of her or are you trying to forget her
01:00:03hiya

01:00:33come on I'm here now
01:00:41just a minute I've forgotten something
01:00:47terribly
01:00:49I can never decide on which flavour
01:00:51to use what do you use
01:00:53I prefer strawberry elite
01:00:55you're safer with strawberry elite
01:01:03sorry to keep you waiting
01:01:17fresh air at last
01:01:19fresh air
01:01:21this is fresh air

01:01:27free at last
01:01:29it's not like it used to be around here is it
01:01:35what do you want to do now
01:01:37apart from that of course
01:01:39I'm not sure I want to do that
01:01:41not just yet
01:01:43can I just be with you a bit can I
01:01:45maybe
01:01:47you know what you're like
01:01:49you're like someone who's trying to make an alibi for himself
01:01:51perhaps I am
01:01:53an alibi for what
01:01:55not murder anyway
01:01:57not murder anyway
01:01:59something infinitely
01:02:01worse than that
01:02:03I promise you inspector it wasn't me
01:02:05it wasn't me
01:02:07it's the one with the yellow socks I kept telling you
01:02:09it's gonna be him

01:02:33slightly
01:02:35why are you jealous
01:02:39doesn't sound like a proper one to me
01:02:45can't talk now
01:02:47I'll think about it
01:02:49yes
01:02:53that was Richard
01:02:55he's got himself a new girlfriend
01:02:57he's calling with progress reports
01:02:59at this time of night
01:03:01he must be drunk
01:03:03yes
01:03:05I think he is
01:03:11it's not right is it
01:03:13that she'd be as hot as this in England
01:03:15you worry for her
01:03:17worry
01:03:19what about
01:03:21anything and everything
01:03:23the end of the world
01:03:25nothing much you can do about that
01:03:27and sex
01:03:29what about it
01:03:33oh this is nice
01:03:37let's just do this
01:03:39no more
01:03:41you mean it's better than nothing
01:03:43it's too warm to do anymore
01:03:47yes
01:03:51do you think about sex a lot
01:03:53some days I think about nothing else
01:03:55around four o'clock
01:03:57usually
01:03:59it used to seem so simple didn't it
01:04:01except you're probably too young to remember
01:04:03but now
01:04:05there's a man at work who has it
01:04:07poor guy
01:04:09I'm sorry
01:04:11I suppose soon almost everybody
01:04:13will know somebody who's got it
01:04:15yeah but him being right there
01:04:17now
01:04:19in a strange way it's almost like a sign
01:04:21from I don't know where
01:04:23that what I'm doing is right
01:04:25what are you doing
01:04:29I'm just trying to escape
01:04:31where's it a go
01:04:33I heard
01:04:35where are you going tell me what do you have to do
01:04:37I've found a simple way
01:04:41it's better than any drug
01:04:43than any desert island
01:04:45really
01:04:47so what do you need the alibi for
01:04:49nothing very much
01:04:51I'm just in love with someone
01:05:13ssss
01:05:21ssss
01:05:25ssss
01:05:35call me I need to ask you something
01:05:37hello
01:05:39hello
01:05:41Yes.
01:05:43Darling, it's me. I'll be a little late.
01:05:45No, no, I'm fine.
01:05:47Look, I'm busy at the moment. I'll call you back, OK?
01:05:49I'm coming home now, so I should be there just after you, in case you were wondering.
01:05:53I won't be a moment.
01:05:55This is from our home answering machine.
01:06:00We had a burglary last week night.
01:06:04Just want to see if there's anything there, any wrong numbers, anything that doesn't sound right.
01:06:10I'm going to be a little late. I'll be back by eight, maybe before.
01:06:21I thought you weren't coming.
01:06:23I nearly didn't.
01:06:26Is this new?
01:06:28No, not very. We're not going up.
01:06:30If you've got anything to say to me, you can say it here.
01:06:33Here?
01:06:35Yes. Go and sit over there.
01:06:37You're always telling me where to sit.
01:06:41So what do you want?
01:06:43I want to touch you.
01:06:45I don't want you to.
01:06:48I did what you said. Your task.
01:06:51I don't believe you. I don't believe anything's changed.
01:07:03Why did you come here today, then, if you don't want to?
01:07:06Sinclair's been asking about the hotel I stayed in.
01:07:08Really? Did he believe you?
01:07:11I think so. I don't know.
01:07:13Good.
01:07:17Then this can last all summer, then, can't it? At least until...
01:07:20No, Richard, you see, you really need it, and I won't have that.
01:07:28If this is an addiction like you say it is, then maybe I'm prepared to...
01:07:32Don't say that.
01:07:33Don't say what?
01:07:34What I wish you were about to say, that you're prepared to die for it,
01:07:37because that's crap.
01:07:39You want...
01:07:41You want to pretend this is all going to end tragically,
01:07:44something enormously final, because you find that idea exciting.
01:07:48No.
01:07:50That's not true.
01:07:52I need you, Richard. I really need you, as a friend.
01:07:56Friend? Come on, Natalie.
01:07:58Get off! Just give me the key and...
01:08:00Get off, Richard! Get off!
01:08:02Get off me! Get off me!
01:08:04For Christ's sake!
01:08:12We don't want somebody reporting us.
01:08:14No, we don't need to go to jail, do we?
01:08:18You'd better get back to work.
01:08:20No, my boss is very ill. I've told you, he's got AIDS.
01:08:23Yes, I'm sorry. Have you seen him yet?
01:08:25No.
01:08:26That's very cowardly. Why not? You've got to go at once.
01:08:29You keep setting me tasks.
01:08:31Why not? I'm your sister, after all.
01:08:35And if I do go?
01:08:37I make no promises.
01:08:40You can have one kiss, just one.
01:08:43I shouldn't, but one kiss can do no harm.
01:08:52Keep away from me.
01:08:54Till the end of next month, then you will have proved something to me.
01:09:01I love you.
01:09:31Hiya.
01:09:33Hi.
01:09:35See you later.
01:09:47I, um...
01:09:49I didn't know what to bring, so...
01:09:51I've brought a couple of books.
01:09:55Great. Thank you.
01:09:57There's a third one in here, but...
01:10:00it's got a little bit messed up.
01:10:02A biro burst in my pocket.
01:10:04I was wondering whether or not to give it to you,
01:10:06but it's the most fun out of the three.
01:10:08No, give it to me. Fine.
01:10:10Sorry, that was awful.
01:10:12No problem.
01:10:14You can go when you like, don't feel...
01:10:16I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look...
01:10:18It's like someone made you come.
01:10:21My parents haven't been to see me.
01:10:23Really? I'm sorry, that's...
01:10:25Just like them.
01:10:27True to form.
01:10:34I probably should have bought some fruit. I know, I'm sorry.
01:10:36Stop apologising all the time. It's nauseating.
01:10:39Stop wiping the book like that.
01:10:41You're driving me crazy.
01:10:43I'll read it with you.
01:10:45I'm sorry.
01:10:47You're driving me crazy.
01:10:49I'll read it with the stains, OK?
01:10:52Right?
01:10:54Right.
01:10:58Listen, are you allowed out of bed,
01:11:00out of here, for an afternoon?
01:11:02Yes, if I want to.
01:11:04It can be negotiated.
01:11:06I've got a meeting with Lapinshaw Mercantile.
01:11:08You want to come?
01:11:10I could brief you on the way.
01:11:18I think those are all the important ones.
01:11:22Look at it.
01:11:24It's like fighting with a pea-shooter, what we're trying to do.
01:11:27Might get one extra zebra crossing.
01:11:29Better than nothing.
01:11:31You know, I can remember when they first announced what was going to happen here.
01:11:34It was going to be this great new city.
01:11:36The new Venice. Modern but magical.
01:11:38One of the wonders of Europe.
01:11:40Yeah, I can remember that too.
01:11:42And look what happened.
01:11:44You're becoming an architectural reactionary, Richard.
01:11:48No. No, a modernist, definitely.
01:11:51Always thought I was.
01:11:55This is incredible, isn't it?
01:11:57You're the one that's ill, yet you're the optimist.
01:12:00That's because you're determined not to be.
01:12:02Aren't you?
01:12:04Aren't you?
01:12:06Maybe.
01:12:08We'll have to see what we can do about that, Richard.
01:12:15Sir, I'm terribly sorry...
01:12:17No, no, no, no, it's OK, beautician.
01:12:20Go on.
01:12:22Sorry to have kept you waiting, gentlemen.
01:12:25Colin was able to make it after all.
01:12:28How good of you to come.
01:12:30Um, we are a little pressed for time.
01:12:32In that case, let's not waste any more of it.
01:12:34Richard.
01:12:36Right.
01:12:38It appears there have been a number of people
01:12:41Right.
01:12:43It appears there have been some interesting developments in the last few weeks.
01:12:47You made a statement saying that you had absolutely no intention
01:12:51of going back on plans for providing housing on the site.
01:12:54And then just a week after that, there's a secret meeting
01:12:57between you and two civil servants from the Department of the Environment.
01:13:01Untrue, untrue.
01:13:03We have a memo to prove it, would you believe.
01:13:05It says, meeting with Lapinshaw Mercantile
01:13:08about whether they will be held to promises.
01:13:10Could I... Gentlemen, please, don't be so eager.
01:13:13You'll see it all in due course when we publish in five days' time.
01:13:17Now, I think you should just listen.
01:13:20After all, you are getting a sneak preview of it before it becomes public.
01:13:27I think that's very generous of us.
01:13:29Don't you, Richard?
01:13:31Definitely.
01:13:33Very considerate.
01:13:35Mm, it is curried tuna, isn't it?
01:13:38Have a taste, what do you think?
01:13:42Yeah, cheers.
01:13:44Have a taste. Go on.
01:13:46No, thank you, I...
01:13:48No, no, no, please don't.
01:13:50I've got my sandwich, so please, thank you very much.
01:13:53No, no, no. Thank you.
01:13:58That was great.
01:14:00Yes. The sandwich was nice anyway.
01:14:04I'll get you back then.
01:14:06Yes.
01:14:11I suppose we'd better.
01:14:37BIRDSONG
01:14:53It's very early, I know.
01:14:55I... I'm sorry.
01:14:57We were already up.
01:14:59Is Natalie around?
01:15:02Natalie's gone out already.
01:15:04She's not here?
01:15:06No, she's not.
01:15:08Come with me.
01:15:12It's very convenient, you being here,
01:15:14cos I'm not going to work this morning.
01:15:16Definitely not.
01:15:18Where are we going?
01:15:20Just a little trip. I've hired this for myself, but it's perfect.
01:15:22You should be here.
01:15:24Oh, no, no, I don't like boats.
01:15:26Don't worry. I know absolutely nothing about boats either, but he does.
01:15:29Fernando does. He comes with the boat.
01:15:32You've got a camera, too.
01:15:53Relax.
01:15:55You're here now.
01:15:57Yeah.
01:16:01BIRDSONG
01:16:31BIRDSONG
01:16:38Other people's children are wonderful, aren't they?
01:16:40Yes.
01:16:42Do, um...
01:16:44Do you and Natalie plan?
01:16:46Oh, yeah, someday.
01:16:50Natalie doesn't feel ready at the moment.
01:16:54As I'm sure you know.
01:16:57Relax, Richard.
01:17:00Jesus.
01:17:02Why is it so hot?
01:17:08You know...
01:17:10Dinosaurs roamed around here more than anywhere else in England.
01:17:15There was a sort of dinosaur rush hour at certain times of the day
01:17:19along this river.
01:17:21I've heard of them wading along here.
01:17:29So what will remain of our world, Sinclair, in a couple of hundred years?
01:17:33We spend too much time thinking about the end of the world.
01:17:36It isn't going to happen.
01:17:38Today.
01:17:40I promise you.
01:17:43Not before lunch.
01:17:45I'm a professional forecaster, remember?
01:17:48Come on. I know a secluded spot.
01:17:51Secluded spot?
01:17:53Fernando will stay here. He prefers eating on his own.
01:17:55No, I'm sure Fernando would love to...
01:18:00Is he going to kill me, do you think?
01:18:13Didn't you have anything but the lychees?
01:18:16You didn't know I was coming.
01:18:18You couldn't have.
01:18:20No, of course not.
01:18:23So this was all for you?
01:18:26Sure, why not?
01:18:30Probably full of corpses.
01:18:34She's having an affair, isn't she?
01:18:39If you mean Natalie...
01:18:41Who else would I mean?
01:18:43Don't give me dumb replies, please, Richard. It insults both of us.
01:18:46If you mean Natalie, then I'm sure that she isn't.
01:18:49She's lying to me all the time.
01:18:54People lie to you, suddenly can't think of anything else.
01:18:57You've spotted little signs of it, haven't you?
01:18:59Little signs.
01:19:01Didn't need to. She's been carrying around a giant placard
01:19:04saying I'm fucking somebody else.
01:19:12So who is it?
01:19:16You tell me.
01:19:18I don't know.
01:19:21I don't believe that.
01:19:23Sinclair, I can promise you.
01:19:25She hasn't talked to me about it.
01:19:28You know I'll find out.
01:19:33Yeah?
01:19:36I know.
01:19:45I've got a plan now, anyway.
01:19:47You have?
01:19:49Oh, yes.
01:19:52Oh, yes.
01:20:10They mustn't know you were here, Richard.
01:20:13They've tracked you down.
01:20:21They've tracked you down.
01:20:51What on earth are you doing here?
01:20:53Surprise visit. I had to see you.
01:20:55We'd agreed.
01:20:57I don't care what we'd agreed.
01:20:59What's going on here?
01:21:01We're leaving.
01:21:03What do you mean, leaving?
01:21:05And I want the house to look nice
01:21:07for the last weeks we spend in it.
01:21:09Where are you going?
01:21:11America.
01:21:13We're going to America.
01:21:15We're going to America.
01:21:17We're going to America.
01:21:19America.
01:21:21We're going to live there, in Connecticut.
01:21:23What do you mean, live?
01:21:25Live, you know.
01:21:27Take up residence, change of scene.
01:21:29For a few years or so.
01:21:31At this time, I have to say, yes,
01:21:33I've had offers of work before, of course,
01:21:35but my line of work, it can't be avoided,
01:21:37but this was suddenly irresistible,
01:21:39and we succumbed, didn't we?
01:21:41It wasn't just the money, the house,
01:21:43the timing, everything seemed right.
01:21:45We've got to talk about this.
01:21:47Of course.
01:21:49Nothing can change, you understand?
01:21:55There may be some things for you here, Richard,
01:21:57if you want them,
01:21:59and we can't possibly take everything.
01:22:09There you are.
01:22:11You said the other bloody hotel.
01:22:13I said here.
01:22:15Why are we here?
01:22:17You were expecting me to cross trouble, weren't you?
01:22:19Yes.
01:22:21We're going somewhere else.
01:22:23No, no.
01:22:25Sinclair's meeting me here in a little while, by the way.
01:22:27What are you doing? What's this for?
01:22:29Just keep still.
01:22:31You can't go in without a tie.
01:22:33They'll throw you out.
01:22:35Natalie, what the...
01:22:37Keep still.
01:22:39It's the hottest summer
01:22:41since Queen Victoria's rule.
01:22:43Is it because of me?
01:22:45No.
01:22:47Time for a change.
01:22:49Sinclair wants to get out of England.
01:22:51The economy's going down the ship.
01:22:53And working in an employment agency
01:22:55is not exactly the answer to my dream.
01:22:57You're running away now.
01:22:59No.
01:23:01Sinclair's a wise man.
01:23:03He's a little overwhelming,
01:23:05and maybe I thought I couldn't cope.
01:23:07I love him, and he's right.
01:23:13If they knew about this...
01:23:17Do you find that idea exciting, don't you?
01:23:19Not particularly, but...
01:23:23If they knew, they'd be surprised.
01:23:27That's true, isn't it?
01:23:29You broke the rules.
01:23:31There was no agreement between us, Richard.
01:23:33You know that, my love.
01:23:39What is this, Richard? Come on.
01:23:41I'm just asking you very simply.
01:23:45Please don't go yet.
01:23:47I've helped you
01:23:49constantly, after all.
01:23:51So many times.
01:23:53Please do this for me.
01:23:59Look at you.
01:24:01My love, what's happened is lost your inner confidence
01:24:03a little bit, that's all.
01:24:05You could do anything if you put your mind to it.
01:24:07Remember, you know that.
01:24:09I'll ask you one more time.
01:24:15I should never have let this happen.
01:24:19It was a terrible mistake.
01:24:27You couldn't handle it, could you?
01:24:29Stop it!
01:24:31Richard!
01:24:35Richard!
01:24:39I don't believe you're this hot.
01:24:45It's not that serious, Richard.
01:24:49This is my beautiful brother here.
01:24:53Who's funny, not afraid of anything.
01:24:57Just let it go, Richard.
01:24:59Let it go.
01:25:01It's simple, it's easy.
01:25:05It'll be gone soon.
01:25:07It won't happen.
01:25:11I'm not going to let you go away.
01:25:13Not really, so how are you going to stop me?
01:25:15I will stop you.
01:25:17I'm not safe here.
01:25:19You brought me here because you thought you could handle me.
01:25:21And you're wrong.
01:25:23For God's sake.
01:25:37Hello, you two.
01:25:39I didn't say Richard was going to be here as well.
01:25:43English tea, I'm really going to miss these.
01:25:45Cucumber sandwiches
01:25:47are going to be the last one to be seen for quite a while.
01:25:57I've just got to phone work.
01:25:59Check on a couple of things.
01:26:01We're having a great time.
01:26:03Being lazy,
01:26:05saying goodbye to London,
01:26:07going to shows,
01:26:09tourist attractions we've never seen.
01:26:13Keeps Natalie occupied.
01:26:19These notice boards
01:26:21are often surprisingly interesting.
01:26:23See what's going on elsewhere in the hotel.
01:26:25Natalie, I promise you,
01:26:27I'm not kidding, you cannot go.
01:26:29Get out of here, Richard, I told you.
01:26:31There's no going back.
01:26:33I cannot answer for what will happen if you try and leave.
01:26:35You can't answer. Stop being so melodramatic.
01:26:37You're determined to make something happen.
01:26:39Natalie, this is me.
01:26:41Look, you know that I've never been desperate about anything.
01:26:43I never expected this to happen either,
01:26:45but it has.
01:26:47Look, just come with me.
01:26:49Natalie, just...
01:26:51Stop it.
01:26:53Come with me, just to talk.
01:26:55Come to my flat.
01:26:57Get rid of Sinclair.
01:26:59Is the lady all right?
01:27:01Yes, yes.
01:27:03For God's sake.
01:27:07What on earth happened?
01:27:09Where did you go?
01:27:11She just wanted some change.
01:27:13All right, I'm warning you.
01:27:23Natalie!
01:27:53Hey!
01:27:55Let me go!
01:27:57Hey!
01:27:59Hey!
01:28:23Hey!
01:28:53Richard?
01:29:13Come on.
01:29:15Come on.
01:29:17Come on.
01:29:19Come on.
01:29:24Silly boy.
01:29:28So you took vitamin pills as well.
01:29:30More vitamin pills than sleeping pills, it looks like.
01:29:34It's not the best way to kill yourself.
01:29:38I came back for the tie, actually.
01:29:42Partly for that.
01:29:44It's rather a good one.
01:29:46You've messed it up.
01:29:49You wanted to frighten me, did you?
01:29:52You half managed it.
01:29:54You're precious to me, Richard.
01:29:56I don't want you to hurt yourself,
01:29:58but I'm not going to let you destroy us both.
01:30:03Do you understand?
01:30:07Come on, pull yourself together.
01:30:10I don't love you when you look like this, all messy.
01:30:12Please, Natalie, whatever you do,
01:30:14don't tell me to pull myself together.
01:30:16OK.
01:30:19OK, now,
01:30:21if you behave yourself
01:30:23and you're brave enough,
01:30:28we can come to our going-away party.
01:30:30Sinclair's hired some gardens.
01:30:32Do you want to do that?
01:30:34I'll see, Natalie.
01:30:37I think you'll manage it somehow.
01:30:49You stop staring at them and I'll be going soon.
01:30:52It's OK.
01:30:54I don't mind.
01:31:02I think we should keep them here.
01:31:04In memory.
01:31:06You don't sound too sure.
01:31:08No, I am. You should.
01:31:10You'll do well running this place.
01:31:12I praise.
01:31:15Thank you.
01:31:17Come with me tomorrow.
01:31:19Please.
01:31:40If there's anything that you've been longing to say to us for years
01:31:42but felt you never could,
01:31:44now is the time.
01:31:46Don't hold back anything.
01:31:48Insulting, shocking, spiteful, growth.
01:31:50This is turning itself into a speech,
01:31:52definitely forcing itself into a speech,
01:31:54so the only way to stop myself...
01:32:11Look at them.
01:32:13They're like presiding royalties,
01:32:15saying goodbye and good riddance to all of us.
01:32:17Why do you mind so much?
01:32:40She's a business analyst.
01:32:46She's a tartan.
01:32:48And what's more,
01:32:50you should see his table manners.
01:32:52They're ex-certificates.
01:32:54He's frightened children off eating for days.
01:32:56He loves pink teas.
01:33:10Come on.
01:33:40Get off!
01:33:42Richard, I'll kill you!
01:33:44What are you doing?
01:34:04I want to kill you.
01:34:06No!
01:34:08No!
01:34:10No!
01:34:12No!
01:34:20No!
01:34:22It's fucking so fucking easy for you!
01:34:24I hate you!
01:34:30Fucking bastard!
01:34:34No!
01:34:38No!
01:35:08Use me.
01:35:10Use you!
01:35:12To get a little excitement into your marriage.
01:35:14Make it take fire again.
01:35:16Make you feel strong.
01:35:18Help you find yourself.
01:35:20A little bored, were we, in your wonderful house?
01:35:22Just play with this, shall we?
01:35:24Now we're all refreshed again.
01:35:26Please, Richard!
01:35:28And now we think we no longer need him.
01:35:30Let's just throw him away.
01:35:32Well, what about me?
01:35:34What has happened to me?
01:35:36I won't allow you to...
01:35:38Stop it, Richard! I won't eat you!
01:35:40What if you were pregnant?
01:35:42The child would have an enormous head, probably.
01:35:48Stop it, Richard!
01:35:50You're going to stop this!
01:36:06I'm sorry.
01:36:08I didn't mean to use you.
01:36:12Maybe I did use you.
01:36:16Now we're even.
01:36:18Are we?
01:36:22I love you.
01:36:26I knew you'd want this to end with one of us dying.
01:36:28Trust you to get both of us nearly killed.
01:36:30But I'll tell you a secret.
01:36:34What secret?
01:36:36Is it over?
01:36:38It's not going to erupt again?
01:36:40Not for the moment.
01:36:44We're not going the way Sinclair's deal fell through.
01:36:46But we still wanted to have the party.
01:36:50I'm sorry.
01:36:52I'm sorry.
01:36:54I'm sorry.
01:36:56I'm sorry.
01:36:58We still want to have the party.
01:37:02Serves me right, doesn't it?
01:38:28Something tells me it's the end of the party.
01:38:59Do you feel OK?
01:39:01Yes.
01:39:05You look as if you've been in mortar fire, you two.
01:39:08We have.
01:39:09You know, don't you?
01:39:12I know a few things.
01:39:18I know that there was something extraordinary between you two.
01:39:22Something that had to be purged.
01:39:26I don't want to know any more.
01:39:29There is a limit beyond which I can't go.
01:39:35I don't want to hear it.
01:39:39It's enough that the worst is over.
01:39:42You think so?
01:39:44It's over.
01:39:50It's getting less intense, isn't it?
01:39:56You're being so calm, Sinclair.
01:39:59It's amazing.
01:40:01I'm amazed myself, but somebody had to be calm around here.
01:40:07I mean...
01:40:09I could start screaming.
01:40:14Maybe I will.
01:40:16Delayed shock, who knows?
01:40:22I don't think so.
01:40:25I hope not.
01:40:26Told you he was wise, didn't I?
01:40:30So, Sinclair...
01:40:33You know everything.
01:40:36What's going to happen then?
01:40:39To us or the human race?
01:40:41Both.
01:40:46I haven't a clue.
01:40:56Bonfires, look.
01:40:58That's autumn.
01:41:00Those fires, always the typical end to summer.
01:41:03I certainly wouldn't call this summer typical.
01:41:06Love it.
01:41:20Could be a good idea we're not going away after all.
01:41:25I might have begun to miss this.
01:43:25THE END
01:43:55THE END
