"I'm..." "Oh..." "Ben..." "I lied to you at the hospital." "What?" "!" "Well, what the doctor told me was that what I've got..." "won't get better." "Now, I haven't got long, but I..." "Listen..." "Nobody lives forever, hmm?" "But..." "I hope you don't forget your boring old granny." "Never." "SHE LAUGHS" "Ben, your dad and I have had a little chat." "We were wrong to make you do the dancing when your heart clearly isn't in it." "And you're not very good." "You like plumbing..." "so plumb all you like."

"The ones you played with when you were a boy." "No... we never had any jewels in the house growing up." "I'd remember that." "That's weird." "That's really weird." "Thing is, Ben, your granny was so good at spinning the yarn... you could never quite be sure what was made up and what was real." "What happened to all her stuff?" "Well, kept all her old photographs for us to have and a few other bits and bobs." "Everything else went to the charity shop." "That's what she would have wanted." "A-ha, Benjamin!" "How are you getting on?" "OK." "Your grandmother was a very special lady." "Thanks, Raj." "And in her memory I would like to give you a free gift."
