"It is not the horror of landmines that is making the headlines back home, but reports of the Princess's romance with Dodi Fayed." "Speculation fuelled by the arrival last night of a car similar to that owned by the Princess..." "Hello, Paul." "Diana!" "Diana!" "Ma'am, over here, ma'am." "Give us a smile." "Oh, beautiful, thank you." "Looks like the cheque's in the post." "Good total, isn't it?" "This way, please, ma'am!" "One for me, Di!" "Are you getting a divorce?" "Di?" "Di, are you getting a divorce?" "Di, are you getting a divorce?" "Di." "They're on their way through." "Thanks." "It's been a long week." "You must all be very tired." "Go home." "And thank you." "Where would you like supper, Your Royal Highness?" "I don't want anything." "Everyone can go home." "Thank you." "So, yes. I..." "I did inflict upon myself." "I didn't like myself." "I was ashamed that I couldn't cope with the pressures." "So I just hurt my arms." "So I just hurt my arms and my legs." "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded." "The most persistent criticism is that as the marriage broke down, you were unfaithful to your wife." "That's the persistent criticism, is it?" "That's the persistent criticism, is it?" "And open your eyes." " Would you like a pin?" " Hmm." "Keeps coming back." " That dream I told you about." " Falling into darkness?" "It's not falling." "It's being dropped." "Someone's doing it to me." "And take a breath." "I think perhaps you're afraid of letting go." "I know. I hang on to things." "Like my marriage." "You're a Cancerian." "You hang on to the idea of love." "'Cause you're so good at giving love." "So you keep on giving." "The hard part is receiving love." "But if I can't receive it, I'm back where l started." "And where is that?" "On the doorstep." "A little girl waiting for her mother to return." "Well, perhaps that little girl should finally stand up and walk into the garden." "It's been 30 years." "In your dream, who's pushing you?" "That's not the point, Oonagh." "The point is, will anyone catch me?" "Just use the sync." "Right, then." "I suppose it's too late to back out now." "It's fine, Wills." "Just take care not to shoot any corgis." "I'll see you next weekend." "The one after." "Well, if that's what the palace have decided." "No, it's fine with me as long as you're happy." "I miss you, too." "I'm at the opera." "I'm having a great time." "I love you." "Bye, darling." "There's something coming up." "A nuclear submarine needs to be named." "I've indicated to the palace you might be willing to do it." "Perhaps you could indicate to the palace that I'd like to see my children more than once every five weeks." "The submarine. ln the current situation, it would be sensible." "A nuclear submarine?" "I want to help people." "It's still possible you might be queen one day." "Like it or not, you'll have an army and navy who will be helping people by..." "Shut up!" "Sorry, Patrick." "Your Royal Highness, there's a call from Oonagh." "She says it's urgent." "There's Diana!" "Excuse me. intensive care?" " Er, second floor up on the right." " Thank you." "It is, isn't it?" "It's her." "He had a haemorrhage. lt sometimes happens with bypass operations." " Mrs Toffolo." " Doctor." "This is Diana." "Joseph's condition is still very serious." "I need your permission to take him back into theatre this afternoon." "Of course." "Do please look after him." "He is very precious." "He's going to be all right." "Yes." "That man knows what he's doing, don't you think?" "Doors opening." " Are you going down?" " Yes." "Thanks. I was, er, just seeing Joseph." "He's so much better." "Mr Toffolo's not on that floor." "Right." "Yes, well, I got lost and, you know, went a bit wrong." "Actually, I didn't get lost." "I was snooping." "Hospitals fascinate me." " Doors opening." " Are you being serious?" "Yes." "When I visit hospitals, I get excited because I feel like I can make a contribution." "Well, perhaps I can show you around." "I would adore that." "I don't know how to contact you." "Well, I'm like most people." "I've got a mobile." "Actually, I'm not like most people." "I have four." "One number would do." "And 1 100 hours, an audience with His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury." " 1300 hours, lunch..." " Paul." "Lunch with Clive James." "1500 hours, briefing here at KP with doctors from Broadmoor on patient therapies." "Thank you, Paul." "And one last thing, ma'am." "There's been a rumour you've done an interview for the BBC." "Yes." "Don't worry about that, Patrick." "Everything will be all right." "This is the Sir Reginald Wilson Ward with ten private rooms." "The NHS is on this side." "Basically, we're about 50l50." " Was your father a doctor?" " No." "No, he ran the family business." "Glass bottles." "But I do have an uncle who is a heart surgeon." "That's Lady Di!" "So, you followed him." "I follow no one." "But, yes, I admit, my uncle did help to set me on my path." "Families can be useful." "And bloody irritating." "Perhaps I've been luckier with my family than you have." "Oh, I don't know, I've got two families." "How lucky is that?" "This is pretty much state of the art." "How long do heart operations go on?" "Sometimes eight or nine hours." "God, how do you keep going?" "You reach a place inside yourself where time has no meaning." "You don't perform the operation." "The operation performs you." "I'd love to feel that." "And when it's over, reality is a bit flat and you're very tired." "I bet." "And this is the on-call accommodation." " What, you just crash here?" " Hmm." "What do you eat?" "There's a canteen on the ground floor, but it's not open late." "Well, you could always pop round the corner for supper with me." "I'm serious." "At the palace, we stay open very late." "Sonia, are you sure this is the right stuff?" "He's a heart surgeon, right?" "He'll be a healthy eater." "I've got conchiglie." "Shells." " Aren't they harder to cook?" " No, boil and drain." "Eight minutes." "I'll do everything else, you just stuff it in the microwave." "Are you sure he's not married or something?" "No. I've checked him out." "So what is it that you like about this man?" "He doesn't treat me like a princess." "It's almost as if he doesn't know who I am." "Maybe he doesn't." "He might be very badly informed." " Can we be of assistance, sir?" " Yes." " Cheers." " Cheers." " Are you working tomorrow?" " Not at the hospital." "I'm writing a paper for Monday morning." "It's part of my thesis." "I have to be home by midnight." "How do you relax doing such a stressful job?" "I listen to jazz." "I'm not sure I like jazz." " You should go to Ronnie Scott's." "I can't just go to places, you know." "It's not the same listening to records." "Jazz is in the moment." "You have to be there." " lt's improvised. lt's like life." " My life is completely regimented." "You're told where to go and who to shake hands with?" "Exactly." "But within that framework, you improvise." "You look at someone for a clue as how to start the conversation and you let it flow from there." "You improvise all the time." "And if you can improvise, you'll like jazz." "I've got to check on the supper." " Pretty hot stuff, eh?" " What?" "You, in the kitchen." "Yes, hot stuff." "You could say that." "Hot stuff!" "So hearts can't actually be broken?" "A heart can receive a shock so violent it never recovers." "Yes, but can they actually break?" "My colleagues might disagree, but I believe, for instance, that Maria Callas died of a broken heart." "You don't like my food." "No." "No, it's lovely." "You're obviously a very accomplished cook." "Oh, come on." "What kind of food do you really like?" "You couldn't make me a hamburger, could you?" "I'm not sure you can actually make hamburgers." "Oh, dear." "I could send out for one." "Very good." "Yes, I can see." " Do you mind?" " No." "I bet you give your patients lectures about that." " About what?" " Smoking." "Well, of course." " But you don't lecture yourself." " l'm not the patient, I'm the doctor." "You still have to look after yourself." "Tonight you've turned down a healthy supper for fast food, you've drunk a fair amount of wine and now you're smoking." "is there any more wine or have we run out?" "This is a palace." "We don't run out." "I didn't think you'd have a television." "Of course. I love telly." " What do you watch?" " Everything." "Corrie." "EastEnders." "My favourite's Casualty." "It was on tonight so I videoed it." "What?" "And it's Steve McManaman who's turned it in." " They're defending too deep." " Really?" "Come on!" "Push up, push up!" "See?" "That's what happens." "You can't give Liverpool that much space to play in." "They'll walk right through you." "A dreadful mistake there by David Lee ." "And Liverpool are in again." " Stan Collymore's made them pay." " Who are the blue ones?" "Oh, dearI What a blistering turn of pace before crossing it in." "I don't think I should drive home." "Well, the tubes are still running." "But if I leave my car here, it'll be sold for scrap." "I was joking." "I already called for a driver." "The service here is rather good." "Well, we should really have horse-drawn carriages at the ready." "The full Windsor experience." "I'm used to horse-drawn carriages." "We were driven to school in them." "In Pakistan?" "Yes, Jhelum." "Freezing cold, huddled under blankets." "My friends and I, we would breathe the cold air out through our mouths and pretend we were smoking." "So, that's where the bad habits started." "I don't have any bad habits." " How do I get out?" " Oh." "Erm..." "Well, the paratroopers are waiting for you outside." "They drag you to the Tower of London, where the Prince of Wales will personally interrogate you with his favourite set of medieval torturing irons." "Yes." "Yes, I was going to ask about him." " Don't you read the papers?" " Not those bits." "Sorry." "Well, I'm glad somebody doesn't." "Charles and I live separate lives." "So it's all right me coming here?" "More than all right." "I'll call you soon. lf you like." "Yes." "Yes, I would like that." "Well, good night." "Good night." "Wonderful cooking." "There's no one thing called jazz." "Right?" "So when he says he likes jazz, that's like saying, "l like food."" "People who like different kinds ofjazz come to blows." "Some of these are very weird." "Gifts from intense young men, some of them not so young." "Right, so choose something." "Anything." "Good, yeah." "Yeah, stick it on." "You have to sit and listen." "You can't chatter through it." "They're very hot on that." "Sit." "Sit and listen." "Diana." "Surprise." "What are you doing here?" "Couldn't sleep. I thought I'd come to see if I could help." "It's wonderful to see you, but I don't think that's a good idea." "Right." "So, bugger off, basically." "In the nicest possible way." "That's all right, I'm good at that." "I've had lots of practise." "It's been mad in here." "I was actually going to call you tomorrow." " No, stop it." " Just one more, please." " You can't do this to me." " Just one more." "Please." " l know you." "You're News of the World." " You've got a good memory." "I remember the ones I don't like and I don't do them any favours." " Clive, I'll call you back." " Clive, it's Diana." " This is out of order." " We all have a job to do, ma'am." "I come here to visit the terminally ill, people who need someone to sit with them through the night." "I completely understand that." "Yes, and I'm allowed to do this in privacy." "Doors opening." "No, there isn't going to be a divorce." " But our readers..." " Will you please follow the rules?" " We'll do our best, ma'am." " Good." "It's official." "No more pictures." "Good night." "Shit." "Look, I do a job that requires me to be very focused." "It's not going to be possible for you and I to go out together to a restaurant, anywhere, without a million people swarming all over us." "That may be your life, but it can't be mine." "Well, that's pretty clear then." "I'm sorry. I think you're wonderful." "If there was a way, I'd take it." "Yes?" "Do I know you?" "I'm the girl you were going to ask on a date." " All right, sexy?" " All right, sexy treacle?" "Nice arse." "Beautiful!" "Gorgeous!" "You should have been here last week." "Somebody should have been here last week." "We had bouncers on the door throwing people in." "A bloke turned up with a ?" "20 note and we offered him a partnership." " ls this fucking mic on?" " "ls this fucking mic on?"" "Thank you, madam." "It's always nice to meet someone who's been allowed out after dark for the first time." "But now I'm delighted to introduce a young band that's making a big impression on the London scene, the Dwayne Johnson Quartet." "Hello?" "Where are you?" "No, don't apologise." "Saving lives is a little bit more important." "You know how to show a girl a good time." "Listen, Hasnat, I'd love to do that, but the next few days are going to be a little bit tricky." "No, I can't." "Just watch your TV." " Thank you, sir." " Cheers." "Yes, I did inflict upon myself." "I didn't like myself." "I was ashamed that I couldn't cope with the pressures." "And what did you actually do?" "Well, I just hurt my arms and my legs." "Do you think Mrs Parker Bowles was a factor in the breakdown of your marriage?" "Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded." "What evidence did you have that their relationship was continuing, though you were married?" "By the change in behavioural pattern in my husband." "For all sorts of reasons that a woman's instinct produces." "You just know." "Do you think you will ever be queen?" "I'd like to be queen of people's hearts, in people's hearts," "but I don't see myself as being queen of this country." "I don't think many people want me to be queen because they have decided that I'm a nonstarter." "Why do you think they've decided that?" "Because I do things differently, because I don't go by a rule book, because I lead from the heart, not the head, and albeit that's got me into trouble in my work, I understand that," "but someone's got to go out there and love people and show it." "I sit here with hope because there's a future ahead, a future for my husband, a future for myself and a future for the monarchy." "Your Royal Highness, thank you." " That's put the mockers on that, then." " l suppose it has." "So, what have we got?" "These are the transcripts of the LBC early morning phone-in." "The women are very strong for you." "The men about 50l50." "Yes, I've analysed the TV pundits and that trend carries through." "Please." "Good morning, Patrick." "Now, I suggested you show the tape to a lawyer." "I offered to open up a formal dialogue with Buck House." "I begged you to give me a preview so that we could build some firewalls before the shelling began." "Now, you see, you keep telling me everything's going to be all right." "Well, it's not all right, it's all wrong." "I've been trying to reopen doors and you've shut them." "Personally, I have been placed in an invidious position." "I have no alternative but to offer my resignation." "Since I haven't the faintest idea how to manage this maelstrom you created, I would like that resignation to have immediate effect." "Well, Patrick." "You've been a rock." "What will you do?" "Get a new rock." "Hello?" "Yes, tell me what you thought." "I see." "Sonia." "So what did you think?" "I'll call you back later." "Everyone thinks I screwed up." " l had to hit back." " Hitting back is a short-term tactic." "What was your strategy?" "I don't think I do strategy." "If your intention was to avoid a divorce, you've achieved the opposite." "My parents divorced." "I made a vow to myself never to put my children through the same thing." "So why would you do something so drastic?" "My boys need to see me happy." "It's time. I have to move on." "So you didn't screw up." "Because now you'll be free." "Here, cover yourself with this blanket and lie down in the back." "That way, the security guards don't know more about my life than I do." " Have you done this before?" " Mind your own business." " Suspension's very low." " Explosive device?" "Nah, too bulky." "We're looking at about 80 kilos there." "That'll be a Pakistani heart surgeon, then." "I think we fooled them." " Were you all right in there?" " Breathing was impossible." "Oh, come on, that's just a detail." "I love feeling your hand there." "That day when I first saw you was so powerful." "I don't think I've ever been so struck by someone." "What do you mean?" "It was like...nothing could distract you." "You were just doing your job without any sense of self." " l'm a doctor." " Yes, I know." "But... I can see how much love you put into it." "Love is a garden." "If you can't smell the fragrance, don't come into the garden of love." " Who said that?" " Rumi." "Persian poet. 13th century." ""The garden of love."" "I like that." " What happened here?" "She stepped on a mine." "She was pregnant." "So, she..." "Did she lose the baby?" "Yes." "Because of that problem." " She's Helena." " How old is she?" " Seven." "She went out to fetch water and stood on a landmine." "Her intestines were blown out of her body." "You okay?" " Si ." "Ma'am, a government minister at home has called you a loose cannon for supporting this campaign." "Do you have any reaction?" "I'm only trying to highlight a problem that's going on all around the world, that's all." "It's been said that you're aligning yourself with Labour Party policy." "Do you think that's wise?" "Labour?" "I don't know what... I don't know what you're talking about." "This is a humanitarian mission." "It's enough to make you burst into tears, that." "But who said I'm a loose cannon?" "Mr Wonderful, come in." "Mr Wonderful." "This is Angola calling." "My darling, they're attacking you." "Earl Howe, the junior defence minister, called you..." "A loose cannon, yes, I know." "But did they print the pictures of the kids with all their arms and legs blown off?" "No." "They're making it look like a routine hospital visit." "Bastards!" "What shall I do?" "Use your power." "You're the most famous woman in the world." "You don't have to follow royal family rules any more." "You're divorced." "So think differently. improvise." "Right." "Improvise." "Clear!" "I have to do this by myself." "If I go with you, it gives them the chance to belittle me." "Okay." "Just keep to the path." "No veering left or right." "Yeah?" "All right." "Good luck." "What's all the fuss?" "They've cleared this field already." "An Oxfam worker was killed doing this three months ago." "Three weeks ago, that walk would have been impossible." "I'd have been blown up many times over." "Soon, all this land can be farmed again and children can play in the fields." "But clearance is a lengthy and hazardous process." "Humanity's only defence against landmines is to stop manufacturing them." "Thank you." "There's something coming, fellas." "is there?" "Blimey." "Thank you, Charlie." "God, I missed you so much." "My beautiful." "I'm so proud of you." "You did it." " lt's all down to you." " No." "Why do smokers always smoke after sex?" "After the greatest pleasure in life, it's only natural to reach out for the second greatest." "You should give up." "You of all people should know that." " Some people are exempt." " Bollocks." "Some people lead a charmed life and I'm one of them." "Wall-to-wall, 22-carat bollocks." "And I lead a charmed life." "No, I'm an expert and you're not." "I'm an expert on everything." "I know about fashion, polo, criminal psychology," " the internal combustion engine..." " Rubbish." "No, it's all part of my job." "Embroidery." "Erm, erm, nuclear submarines." "Not an O level to my name and I'm..." "What's that word?" "Erm..." " l'm an om..." "Omnibus?" " Omniscient?" "Yes, see, I even knew that." "I've seen and done everything, much more than you." " You're just a specialist and I'm..." " What's that word?" "Shut up." "Multiple choice." "is it dilettante, polymath or ectomorph?" "You're laughing at me." "You can't even speak proper English." " l don't have to, I'm not English." " Oh, you're so smug." "All you know about is football and jazz and..." "And saving people's lives." "Saving lives." "That wasn't on your list, Miss Polymath." "Oh, I knew it was polymath." "Saving people's lives." "Would you still like to see that?" "Defib paddles." "Charge." " Shoot." "All right, everyone, close him up." "Thank you." "Once again we are the champions." "Your patient today, how bad was he?" "He would have died tomorrow or maybe the day after." "Now, he'll have another ten years." "You have power over death." "A doctor's triumphs are only temporary." "I learnt that from Victor Chang." " The man you studied under in Sydney?" " Yes." "Now, he treated the whole patient and without any ego." "With love, as you said." "So what happened to him?" "Six years ago he was ambushed for money on his way to work." "He refused to pay so the guy shot Victor twice in the head." ""Where you are, death will find you," ""even if you are in towers built up strong and tall."" "That's from the Quran." "I studied Islam a few years ago when I was preparing for a trip to Pakistan." "See?" "I was getting ready for you before I even knew you." " Whose car is this?" " My butler's." " What's your butler driving?" " My Audi." "Lucky butler." " Where are we going?" " To the very edge of the kingdom." "Come on." "Look at this." " Now be careful." " Oh." "You've brought me to the end of the world." "Ah." "I'm going to Australia." "Why are you running away from me?" "The Victor Chang Institute is doing a fundraiser." "I'm making the keynote speech." " You're doing this for me?" " For us." "The world is ours." "This world and the world beyond." "I never think about the world beyond." "You sleep with the Quran at your bedside." " Habit." "Hardly ever read it." " l know you do." "Islam is very important to me." "To me it means the constant reformation of one's character." "Well, I believe in that." "I've been reforming my character since I was seven and it's finally getting me somewhere." "Your divorce has put things on a different footing." " You mean with your family?" " Yes." "A barrier has come down." "Well, barriers coming down is good." "Last one back to the car's a squashed tomato." " Look." " What?" "Ma'am!" "Ma'am!" "Ma'am!" "Your Royal Highness, it's been an absolute pleasure." "Yes, they are a little rowdy." "It was the social event of the year for the cream of Sydney society." "The opportunity to meet the Princess of Wales at a charity ball at a cost of ?" "300 a head." "It has been said that for evil to triumph, good men must do nothing." "Tonight we give heartfelt thanks that a good man, Dr Victor Chang, did a great deal, and of that we can all be thankful as we look forward to the future." "Doors opening." "Lift going up." "That's him!" "That's him, look." " Him?" " Yes!" "Nice one." "What are we going to do?" "Well, our objective is to protect Hasnat." "So we rubbish the story." " But they'll find out eventually." " Well, we're buying time." "That's what we need, isn't it?" "Talk about putting two and two together and making five." "No, not a word." "Not a word of truth." "Officially I'm furious." "It's upsetting for Wills and Harry." "Unofficially, well, to be honest... I mean, Richard, we're laughing ourselves silly over this." "For God's sake." "What do I look like?" "One minute everyone's pointing at me because I'm sleeping with the Princess of Wales." "Next thing she denies it all and I'm the hospital joke." " l was just trying to protect you." " Protect?" "Well, I knew you'd be upset." "That's why we rubbished the story." "Rubbish?" "Yes, good choice of word." "That's exactly what I felt like." "You can't object to being on the front pages and then complain when I protect you from looking like Casanova." "You've blown our cover." "Well, it can be dealt with." "I'm good at handling the press." " Oh, magnificent." " Now I'm clear on what you want." "How could it not have been clear?" "I am a surgeon!" "I can't work with the paparazzi sticking their cameras in my face." "Well, if you'd had to put up with what I've had to put up with." "Exactly. I don't have to put up with it." "And I don't want to put up with it." "So what are you saying?" "I'm saying there's no future." "The way your life is, the way my life is... lt's pointless." " Hello, Dr Khan?" " How did you get this number?" " Would you like to make a comment?" " How did you get this number?" "is it all rubbish?" "Will you be giving a quote on..." " The lights are on." "Sonia, it's me." "I'm sorry. I know it's 3:30 in the morning, but could you talk?" "I'll never be happy again." " lt's the end, I just know it is." " But I know it isn't." "You haven't gone this far for nothing." "Oh, nobody goes this far for nothing." "Come on." "Good morning, may I speak to Hasnat Khan, please?" "He's in the cardiac surgical unit." " Can you hold?" " Yes, I'll hold." " l'm sorry, Dr Khan's not available." " He's not available?" "What do you mean, he's not in?" "Or he's in but not available?" "Morning, love." "Can I have a word with Dr Khan, please?" " He's in the surgical unit." " They're very busy, I'm afraid." "Yes, but it's rather urgent." "Me name's Rita." "Rita Johnson." "Hasnat, it's me." "Hasnat!" "Hasnat!" "Hasnat!" " Cheers." " Cheers." "I want to say this." "Yes, I've been a mad bitch." "Yes, I've been a stalker, and, yes, worst of all, I put on a crummy Liverpool accent just to get your attention." "But I was provoked." "And I want to say if I upset you, it was because, I don't know, I was trying to celebrate you and protect you at the same time and those two things got confused." "But I think I have a right to be confused when I'm up against a gorgeous creature like you." "Plus, I'm a princess and I get what I want." " 00 in the morning..." " The people have spoken." "I like the way Blair walks." "Like he's crossing a bridge." "He's what this country needs." "Yes, it is." "But I think we need to think about beyond this country." "My work is here." "Well, only until you finish your PhD and then we could pretty much live anywhere." " People..." " People have hearts everywhere." " Yes, they do." " Hearts that need repairing." "Exactly." "America." "Australia." " See my point?" " Hmm." "If I could just get the boys away from here for some of the time." "Somewhere warm." " The party that belongs to..." "There's been a communication from my family." "Saying what?" "Saying, "You are 36." "This is beyond the age when you are expected to marry."" " Haven't you escaped all that?" " The press stirred it up." "The Patan man is expected to marry a woman who will run an extended household." "A woman who will live with the husband's family." "Someone from within the clan." "And what about you?" "What are your feelings?" "I want to save people's lives." "Hasnat, I asked about your feelings." "I love you." "But do you want us to be together in spite of all our problems?" " Do you want to make this work?" " Yes, I do." " Then it's time I met your family." " Are you serious?" "Mmm-hmm. I think I should go there and they can get a good look at who I really am." "Okay." "Then we'll go out there together." "Hasnat, we can't go together." "We'd be on the front page of every newspaper in the world." "I'll go." "Alone." "It doesn't matter how much you charm the rest of the family." "The mother is the only one that counts." "She's the key." "And a tough nut to crack." "She's an educated woman from a generation where such a thing is rare." "I would say two things." "Don't try to impress her, and don't imply you're as close to her son as you obviously are." " Thank you." " For you." "Diana, I'd like to introduce you to Hasnat's father, Rasheed." " Welcome, my dear." " Hello." "Now then, Diana." "How good are you with names?" "Diana, this is Hasnat's mother, Naheed." "Lovely to meet you." "Thank you." "Sir Cyril Radcliffe." "An Englishman by that name is given five weeks to decide the fate of 90 million people." "And who advises him?" "Mountbatten." "Your former husband's favourite uncle." "Muslims go one way, Hindus and Sikhs the other." "Six million people crossed the new border, both ways, mostly on foot." "Inevitably, there are clashes and massacres." "One million people died." "I was 16 and I can't forget or forgive." "I'm sorry." "Yes, the English always say sorry so beautifully." "It's a power cut." " Right then." " Come on, Diana!" "Ready?" "Oh!" " That was fun." " Well done." "Diana, I want you to meet Hasnat's grandmother, Nanny Appa." "Hello." "She says that you are a young lioness." "You must forgive me." "I can't help saying my piece about the British." "Now everyone please, try very hard to relax." " Say cheese." " Cheese." "God, it was magical. lt was... lt was like a dream of how life should really be." "Children and grownups and grandparents living together." "One big family." "And you know what your grandmother called me?" "A young lioness." "Well, she's right, as always." "Hmm." "Perhaps that's the future." "Being lions?" "No." "Living abroad." "But that's impossible." "My work, your boys." "Yes, I know my boys." "But anything's possible, isn't it?" "We just have to make it possible." "Yes." " Yes?" " Yes." " Yes." " Yes." "Diana!" "All of us, if we're lucky, grow old." "But in the future, old people will make up a much larger percentage of the population." "The old, and that will include me, will be weak but we won't be rare." "This will be the final battles of our lives and we must fight them by establishing a habit of respect for the older generation." "And by keeping our own skills fresh , so that when we're in our 90s, we can still be active, contributing members of our communities and families." "Thank you." "Bravo!" " Grazie." " Thank you." " Professor." " Please, call me Christiaan." "Christiaan." "Diana." "I want to tell you something confidential." "I'm very good at keeping secrets, except my own." "I'm in love with a heart surgeon." "He's still finishing his PhD but I believe he's a man of genius." "What's his training?" "He was a favourite pupil of Victor Chang's." "He's now with Professor Yacoub." "Well, that's some reference." "I want to marry him, but he's a very private man." "We can't cope with England, so we're thinking seriously about living abroad." " You want me to find him a job?" " Yes." "It was my son, William, who suggested I should clear a load of frumpy old frocks out of my closet and give the proceeds to the aids Crisis Trust charity." "I hope you've all remembered your chequebooks for the garage sale." "" "Sorry, auction." "And maybe some big laundry bags so you can carry your clothes home." "Now I'm not going to stay and watch you, and embarrass you, but please, be generous because there are so many people who need you to be generous." "Thank you." "Hello?" "This is Diana." "We just landed." "So tell me, how did it go?" "What?" "Five and a half million dollars?" "Yes!" "A written request for my CV from the world's most famous heart surgeon, to go with my job application." "There's been a slight mistake." "Did I apply for a job in Boston?" " Funny, I don't remember it." " Things have got ahead of themselves." "Funnier still, I actually seem to have got the job." "We talked about living abroad." "But we weren't really talking about living abroad." "You are a wonderful doctor." "I was simply using my connections." "I don't want anything from you!" "I've worked long and hard to get myself a life." "Don't go and reorganise it without asking!" "I was trying to find a way for us to be together." "Someone has to do something." "If you don't understand how I feel about my work, how can we be together?" "Yes." " Boss, I don't know if you want this..." " They're not so bad, your security." "At least they've stopped making jokes about my car." "Thank you, Paul." "The big one supports Queens Park Rangers." "I've never met anyone who genuinely supported Queens Park Rangers." "Hasnat!" "I can't seem to live without you." "And yet the complications of trying to find some way of actually living with you are just beyond me." "The Barnard thing." "You were trying to find a way." "I'm so sorry." " Afternoon, Queens Park Rangers." " Sir." "Hasnat, we're all very proud of your achievements." "You're a brilliant doctor, a shining light." " What did the family think of Diana?" " The family loves Diana." "But it's a big question." "Should the most famous woman in the world become part of our family?" "And what's the answer?" "Hasnat, you have been blessed twice by God." "You have a calling as a doctor and a wonderful girlfriend." "But is it possible to have both?" "I've known you since you were a child." "You're a private person." "Do you really think you can work as a doctor when you are so much in the public eye?" "On the other hand, if you were to marry Diana, it would be a great thing for Pakistan and for the whole Muslim world." "What did my mother think?" "Your mother will never give her approval." "Diana is a divorced woman and a Christian." "In the long journey of life, from time to time, we come to a fork in the road." "Hasnat, it is time for you to choose." " You make it sound so simple." " Life is simple." "I love her so much." "See you in four weeks." "Bye, Mum." "This must be the only park we haven't visited in London." "We've done all the others." "Well, clockwise or anticlockwise?" "I don't mind." "Long day. lt was hot in the hospital." "It gets dangerous, dodging the food trolleys trying to finish their rounds before the ice cream melts." "If it were just one thing, I know we could find a way." "So my trip to Lahore was a failure." "I didn't win them over." "It's not to do with winning them over." "You can win anyone over." "But your family don't want me to be your wife." "That's no surprise." "I've never once been accepted by a family." "Not my own." "The one I married into." "When I think of the word, I shudder." "My family haven't said that." "But your mother won't give us her blessing." "That dream that you have of sitting in a compound in Lahore surrounded by children is impossible." "Why?" "Because if I marry you, I have to marry the whole world as well." "We can't simply be a man and a woman." "But you must have known that from the start." "When you fall in love, you just keep going despite warning lights." "So now you've had the best of what's on offer, you're just gonna clear off?" "That's not true. I've struggled to see how I could marry the most famous woman in the world." "But I'd be giving up the very thing that defines me." "I want to make it work." "I can't stop loving you." "They always say that when they're saying goodbye." "I'm not saying goodbye." "Except Charles. I'll give him that." " Don't bring him into it." " Why not?" "You belong with him now." "You're on the list labelled "the past"." "Aren't you?" "I don't want to see it like that." "Then why call me in the middle of the night to this godforsaken park" " to give me my marching orders?" " That's a bit dramatic." "Dramatic?" "Dramatic." "My whole life has been dramatic." "It's been full of the sound of people shutting doors on me." "You say you love me, you'll always love me." "Well, there's about five billion people on this planet who can say that." "But is there one" "who can stay with me?" "is this fucking mic on?" " l'm not saying it's over." " Yes, you are." "You just can't say it." " l'm not saying it's the end." " Have the courage." "Go on, say it." " l'm not saying it's the end." " Yes, it is." "Okay, I'll say it. lt's over!" "Don't follow me." "Diana!" "Bloody hell!" "Ma'am!" "Ma'am!" "Ma'am..." "Boss, this won't take long." "People are unhappy with the way things have been going over the last few weeks." "Members of your staff feel that they've been exposed to situations that carry with them an element of danger." "We'd like you to consider strategy." "There's a feeling there's no clear direction at the moment." "You should perhaps..." "Also, er, you've received an offer from Dodi Fayed to join him again on the Jonikal." "This time, just you." "Say yes." "So, where are we going?" "Sardinia." "Cala di Volpe." "Fox Creek. I'm very fond of foxes." " Why so?" " They're like me." "We've all escaped from the Windsors." " Hello?" " Jason Fraser." "What's happening?" " Where are you?" " Here." " Where's here?" " You know I love foxes." "Work it out, handsome." "Pronto?" "I've got something big." "Can you be somewhere this moment?" " Morning." " Good morning." "You sleep well?" "What's the matter?" "What is she up to?" "There's no time to get the Americans involved." " Oslo's the last conference." " But America signing would be huge." " There are too many sticking points." " There's basically only three." "Exemption for the border between North and South Korea, a delay in the treaty's implementation and the whole smart mines issue." "Smart mines?" "They blow themselves up within seven years so the land is safe." "It means redefining what a land mine is." "Stop the bus." "Your son?" "Kindly leave a message after the beep." "Hasnat, it's me." "It's me." "I really want you to call me." "I mean really, really." "Call me." "Hello?" "Dodi." "The falling dream, I still get it." "But it's different these days." "How is the dream different?" "Well, I don't know." "I suppose..." "I suppose it's..." "Something I enjoy now." "I don't feel the need to be caught any more." "So maybe it's not falling, maybe it's more like flying." "When you first came to me, you told me your quest was a spiritual one." "Well, we've danced with it a few years and now the road is clear." "Your life is ahead of you." "With your talent and power, you can do anything." "Does it feel right for you to be going on this trip now that you feel differently?" "I've got to have a bit of fun, don't I?" "And the boys are away so..." "You're not going 'cause you feel lonely?" "Oonagh, now that I've been loved, I don't feel lonely any more." "Go, go, go!" " Yeah?" " Hello, handsome." " Where are you?" " l'm looking right at you." " Did you get some more shots?" " Oh, yeah." "Plenty." "Good." "Well, that's enough now." "I'll see you back in London." "Hi, it's me." "I really want you to call me." "I mean really, really." "Hi, it's me." "I really want you to call me." "I mean really, really." "Are you ready?" "Hello, Paul." "Yes, has he rung?" "Are you sure?" "This is Diana." "I can't take your call right now." "Please leave a message." "Yes?" "We don't know if Lady Di was dead or not." "And we..." "We just, er, know she is dead in the hospital La Pitie-Salpetriere in Paris." "From the poet Rumi." ""Somewhere beyond right and wrong there is a garden." ""l will meet you there.
