"That's the AA talking." " How long did it take me?" " look, I really need to..." "Have a guess. 19o miles." " Er, well..." " Come on." " The A39 roadworks at Exeter." "How long?" " I really don't know." "How long did it take me?" "Have a guess." " I don't even drive." " Just guess." " Two hours?" " Two hours?" "!" "Two hours?" "!" " OK." "I don't know." " To Cornwall?"

"She recently travelled over 4,000 miles to marry a man she'd never met before." "Jeremiah Wainwright III, a convicted murderer and notorious cannibal, is currently on Death Row awaiting execution." "Now back in York, Elaine has been adapting to married life." "However, that is about to change." "We've had a phone call from Elaine." "After six false alarms, this morning at 7 a.m." "Jerry is going to be administered with the lethal injection that will kill him for the crimes he has committed against society." "How are you, Elaine?" "It's been a bit of a rush." "I had it all planned the first time Jerry was leaving us, but it's been called off so many times," "I don't know whether he's coming or going - literally." "But today's the day?" "Yes." "I checked his website before I went to bed as I always do, and there's been an update." " It's definitely happening at seven o'clock." " So we're minutes away." "Yeah." "Not long now." "I've lit a candle representing Jerry's life." "In a couple of minutes, I shall put it out, symbolising the shining light that was Jeremiah Wainwright III being extinguished by a society that chose not to understand him." "(TANYA) Not understand why he killed eight people?" "Yes, I've just said that." "You've been a married woman for five days, in a few minutes, you'll be a widow." "Yeah, it's been a funny old week." "It's true to say being a married woman has changed my life." "When I was at school, I made a list of the ten things I want to do before I die." "Getting married was at number one." "I've come a long way." "I've only got Disneyland to go." "It must feel strange." "You've been here so many times before." "Yeah, we have had a few false starts." "When I heard it was definitely going ahead, I realised I'd run out of candles." "I got these from the shop on the corner." "They're very good." "There's not much they don't sell." " (BEEPING)" " That's my one-minute warning." "I set the cooker timer." "I didn't want to unplug my alarm clock." "Jerry wouldn't want any fuss." " Would you like us to stop filming?" " No, you're all right." "I'd like a moment of silence before I blow the candle out, if that's OK." "(BEEPER CONTINUES)" "(BEEPING)" "It's all right." "It will go off in a minute." "(BEEPING)" "Sorry, could one of you turn that off?" "That's quite annoying." "If you just press the red switch." "(BEEPING STOPS)" "God bless, Jerry." "May all those who misunderstood you and never gave you a chance one day, somehow, see the error of their ways." "Goodnight, angel." "D'you know, I've lived that moment a thousand times." "Oh, my God!" "You saw me blow that out." "That is a sign." " I think it..." " Do you think the injection didn't work?" " He's a big lad." " I think it's one of those magic candles." "Call it what you will, that is a miracle." "No, they're candles you buy as a joke." "They don't blow out." "That's just silly, isn't it?" "What use is that to anyone?" "Sorry, could you just put that under a tap for me, please?" "(SHE SIGHS)" " How are you feeling, Elaine?" " Not too bad, actually." "It would be wrong to say being a widow suits me, but I do feel very at one with myselt." "I feel Jerry's at peace." "It's funny, because when I was counting down the seconds, I could actually feel it here." "It seems unusual to carry out something like this at one o'clock." " Was there a reason for that?" " One o'clock?" "I don't follow." "It's 7 a.m. here." " With the time difference with Texas..." " They're ahead of us." " They're six hours behind." " They're behind?" "Right." "So..." "Sorry, you've confused me now." "Is he dead or alive?" "Well, if it was meant to be 7 a.m. their time, he's still alive." "7 a.m. their time will be 1 p.m. our time today." "One o'clock this afternoon?" "Oh, isn't it silly?" "!" "I wonder if Jackie will swap her shift with me?" "I'm sure she will, she's good like that." "Right..." "Well, I might just snaffle a few more hours' sleep." "I've been up since four." " Erm...are you still all right for one o'clock?" " Yes, that's fine." "All right." "Well, I'll see you then." "Have you got those candles?" "I might just take them back." " What did you do last night?" " We went bowling." " It was a good laugh." " Didn't you go to the gym?" " No." " Oh." " I don't go to the gym." " I thought you did." "No, I don't." "Don't you feel better after a bit of exercise?" " Do you mind if I finish this?" " A bit stiff this morning, though." "I didn't have time for a good warm down." "You know what it's like after a run." " I bet." " You need a good warm down." "It's really important for the muscles." "Yeah, recovery rates." "James was saying." " You know how pushy personal trainers can be." " You've got a personal trainer?" "Yeah!" "He's making all the difference." "Really spurring me on." "All that running." " I bet." " Guess how far I ran last night." " How far did I run last night?" " I have no idea." "Anything's good, isn't it?" "I don't think so." "Have a guess." " I really don't know." " Think like an athlete." "Just guess." " I wouldn't have a clue." " Doesn't even matter." "Just have a guess." " I can't." " You'll be amazed." "Have a guess." " I'm not good at this." " Come on." "Guess." "5o miles." "5o miles?" "!" "5o miles?" "!" "I said run not drive!" "3o miles." "3o miles in one go?" "Do I look Ethiopian?" "Five." "Five miles." " Have you ever met me?" " Two."

"I'm sorry I'm late, Sister, but I went out for a curry with the lads last night and it turned into a bit of a late one." "You've had two written warnings this month." "Can I take me coat off?" "I'm sweating beef madras in here." " Are you eating?" " I am." "Sorry." "You must think I'm so rude." " Would you like a rhubarb and custard?" " No, thank you." "I'd appreciate it if you didn't eat in this office." "I think you'd benefit from an unofficial assessment." "Just answer the questions as best you can." "Did you have a nice weekend?" "How often do you change your uniform?" " How often do I change my uniform?" " It's a simple question." "I sometimes put tinsel in me hat at Christmas, but besides that, I don't really think it's up to me." "What is the difference between a rectal reading and an oral reading on a digital thermometer?" "It's, er..." "Well, it's, er..." "About two feet." "You might want to give it a wipe with a damp cloth before you do the second one." "The answer is one degree." "On your morning round, you found a patient who's died." "What do you do?" "In fairness, I haven't started my shift yet." "Whoever it is, I don't think you can blame me." "The question is hypothetical." "I do understand what this is all about, and I just want to say I didn't kill him, I swear to you." " Didn't kill who?" " Mr Thompson." "What makes you say that?" "Mr Thompson died over a week ago." "If I thought a night out would finish him off, I never would have taken him." "Taken him where?" "Mr Thompson was a great one for the crack." "I promised him, if he felt up to it, I'd take him out for his birthday - my treat." "You took an 81-year-old critically ill patient on a night out?" "A night out where?" " "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."" " Where?" ""Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."" "Please tell me it's not true." "Well, it's about a flying car, so I'd say probably not." "You do know this "treat" may have contributed to the heart attack that killed Mr Thompson?" "Yes." "I have no alternative but to send you home immediately." "That's really sweet of you, but it was over a week ago now." "I think I'm over the worst of it." "Would you please leave my office!" "It was a present." " Did you go out with Ryan last night?" " He blew me out." "Can you believe that?" "He was like "Don't give me grief," and I was like "Stop vexing me, then."" "That is so dry." "That boy's taking liberties." "He must think I'm like some sort of lackey waiting around for him." " He needs to be told, man." " He's coming." "Shut up, shut up." " All right?" " All right." " I don't think we should go out no more." " Fine." "Whatever." " Got that CD for me, lise?" " I should concentrate on football." "Am I bothered?" "I don't care 'cause I'm not bothered." " I'm just busy." "We can still have a laugh." " No, we can't 'cause I ain't bothered." " Does my face look bothered?" " You can still..." "Is my face bothered?" "Is it bothered?" "Bothered?" "Do I look bothered, though?" " No, you don't." " I'm not." " Just forget it, right?" " I will and don't tell me what to do." " Are you all right?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "He is so lame." "That was such a rank thing to do." " Shut up, right?" " You shouldn't let him..." "Shut up." "Why don't you shut up, though?" "I asked you to shut up." "Shut up, though." "Why don't you shut up?" "Did I ask you to shut up?" "You should shut up." "I asked you to shut up." "Have you shut up yet?" "Yeah." " I was just thinking..." " I ain't bothered!" "Can you call me back on the landline?"

"Sorry I'm late." " It's not a problem, Bunty." "Take a seat." " I'm just going to get a pint." " Take a seat." "This won't take long." " I really would love a pint." " Just let me say what I'm gonna say, then you can have as many pints as you like." " How was your holiday?" " Fine, thank you." "It was spoilt when I got back and heard you'd been up to your old tricks again." "Can I have a sip of your pint?" "I made it quite clear your time with the Doncaster Spinners was up." "Your leaving was well overdue." "I go on holiday." "I think, "That'll be that," but oh, no, when I get back," "I'm greeted with this." " What's that?" " This is last Thursday's "Echo"." ""There were dramatic scenes yesterday outside St Mary's Junior School," ""the rehearsal venue of majorette display team the Doncaster Spinners," ""when Bunty Carmichael, 32, held a one-woman protest at her expulsion from the group."

"We can't have you marching with a team of ten-year-olds." "You look ridiculous!" "I look ridiculous?" "!" "Gemma dropped her baton three times during the "Star Wars" medley!" "Who looked ridiculous then?" "You shouldn't have been involved in that." "You wait till I'm abroad then you worm your way back in." "The Spinners need me, Geoff." "The Spinners need you to leave them alone." "According to the rules, the minimum age for a Doncaster Spinner is six years old." "You tell me where it says there's an upper age limit." "There isn't one." "Up until now, we've been relying on selt-respect." "Oh, I see." "So I'm being penalised 'cause I've got the will to survive?" "All you've got is the will to be a bloody nuisance." "Eye of the tiger, Geoff." "I've got the eye of the tiger." "Have you?" "I'm very pleased for you." "As well as the eye of the tiger, you've also got that." "What's that?" "A restraining order preventing you from going anywhere near the Doncaster Spinners whether it be in rehearsal or performance." "I'm sorry, Bunty, love, but you really left us no option." "I've been with the Doncaster Spinners for 25 years." "That's nearly a quarter of me life." "Don't let it end like this, Geoff." "Remember when me mam couldn't afford to let me go on that trip to France when I was 14?" "You told me the Spinners had a whip-round to pay for me." "I know it was you, Geoff." "I know it was you who paid for me to go." "Bunty, don't do this." "You believed in me then." "Why don't you believe in me now?" "It's not that I don't believe in you, love, it's just that...it's time to move on." "let me come with you to leeds, and then I'll leave." "I promise." "I'm sorry, love, I can't." "Do you remember what you used to say when I first joined the Spinners?" "I used to say, "Mr Bird, I can't spin me baton and march at the same time."" "Do you remember what you used to say to me?" ""There's no such thing as can't."" "If you feel you can give me one more chance," "I'll be waiting at the top of me street for the minibus, nine o'clock on Friday morning."
