"Always felt there was something better." "Oh, dear." "What a way to live." "I think I know how he feels." "You'll be all right, Stephen." "You think so?" "Do you think she's pretty?" "What?" "Do you think Anna is pretty?" " You're drunk." " Do you?" " What's the right answer?" " What you think." "Yes." "Prettier than me?" "Shut up, Jem." "Well..." "I think she's very pretty." " Do you think Brian fancied her?" " I don't know." "Brian..." "I'll call him tomorrow." "(Birds chirp)" "(Groaning)" " Is it really that bad?" " Yes." "I'm sorry." "Oh, never again." " I wanted to go for a walk." " Oh, please take Joe." "Right, but I really wanted to stretch my legs." "George, please, I can't." "Joe, do you want to see If Charlie's in?" "Charlie's with her dad." "Wakey, wakey." "I bought pains au chocolat." " Would you like one?" " Where's my tea?" "Here you go." "You sure you don't want a pain au chocolat?" " Yes, thank you." " I might eat yours." "Sorted." " Do you love me?" " Oh, Fi..." " Do you?" " Yes." "Can we talk about this?" "Yeah." " If you like, of course." " (Newspaper thuds)" "This is very hard, Stephen, because we've... we've got to sort this out and that means that we need to be able to talk." "That means not just me talking, Stephen." "You've got to try." "Don't you think sometimes we talk about things a bit too much?" "Sorry?" "Not everything can be talked about." "Well, yeah, you're right and I know that sometimes I talk too much." "But it's very hard because you won't talk at all, so it always looks like I'm talking too much." "Jesus, Stephen, can't you see this?" "Yeah." "What do you want, Stephen?" "I don't know." "Because you won't get any better than me." "Seriously, the grass may look greener elsewhere." "You don't realise what you've got." "What have I got?" "Really?" "Do I have to really spell it out?" "The things that?" "We love each other." "We care about each other." "We're best friends." "I just can't believe that you can't see that we need to work at this, that this is normal to, you know, see that the perfect relationship does not exist!" "(Phone rings)" "(Phone continues ringing)" "(Stephen) Hello?" "OK." "OK, bye." "What are you doing?" "I'm going to the home." " What?" " Look, I'm really sorry but I've got to go." "(Door shuts)" "(Anna) Oh, would you make sure it was good and chocolaty?" "My favourite hot chocolate?" "(Doorbell rings)" "(Joe) Charlie!" "Charlie!" "Where are they, Daddy?" "Damn!" "Can we go to the swings?" "Can we?" "Come on, then." "Come on, come on." "If you want to go to the swings, let's go." "Quick, quick, quick." "This way, come on." "This way." " Keep going." " Charlie!" "Hello, you two." "We just called by." "Did you have a good time with your daddy?" " I didn't feel well, did I, Mummy?" " No." "No, darling, no." "Can Joe play?" "Come on, then." "(Laughs)" " Don't hurt yourself..." " Joe, Joe, Joe..." "Stop it." " (Kids chattering)" " Careful, careful." "Mind the door." "Can I..." "Can I come in for a coffee?" "Jem's out cold with a hangover and I'd like to apologise." "Mm, we need to talk, so..." "(Kids laugh)" " This isn't working any more." " What?" "It's over, George." "Right." "It's wrong." "I feel terrible." "We made a mistake." "We never should have done it, but we did, and now we've got to stop it and forget it." "Yeah, but..." "do you really want it to end?" "Yes." "Right." "Look, it's a mess." "We got into a mess and we've got to stop it." "No, I know." "Erm..." "I don't know what to do." " What do you mean?" " Well, about Jem." " What do you mean?" " You don't think I ought to tell her?" "Why would you tell her?" "I-I don't know." "Look, I know..." "I mean, I..." "I know it's very hard, but..." "You've got to see, if you told her, it would achieve absolutely nothing but misery." "That's why I want it to stop now." "I know." "Good." "If you need to talk, tell me." " It's that man at the station, isn't it?" " What?" "Last night, you said that you'd met someone." " It's..." "It's him, isn't it?" " No." "No!" "It's because it's wrong." "There's no other reason." "(Charlie) Mummy, can we play dressing up?" "Yeah, as long as you don't make too much mess." "I've got to get on, George." "Yeah, I better get back." "Jem's not feeling too well." "(Joe) Dad!" " See you later, Joe!" " (Joe) Bye, Daddy!" "Erm, right." "Well, I'll, erm..." "You'll send him round." "Course." "(Kids laugh)" "(Train rumbles)" " Lovely day." " Yeah." "Rog?" "Don't wait too long." "(Swing squeaking)" "She was very peaceful, Stephen." "Good." " How you feeling?" " Terrible." "How are you?" "I'm OK." "So what do you make of him, then?" " Who?" " Brian." "Ooh..." "Brian." "I think he's really sexy." "Sexy Brian." "(Chuckles)" "Brian the sex god." "Thanks, but... no thanks." "Oh, are you OK, Jem?" " Tell me what's wrong." " (Sniffles)" "(Sobs) Nothing, I'm just..." "I'm just, erm, tired and hung over." "Sorry." "Jem, what is it?" "Is it something I've done?" " What is it?" " (Sobbing)" " It's me and George." " What?" "We just seem to argue all the time." "He's so angry with me that I can't seem to do anything right." "Oh..." "Does he talk to you about anything?" " About what?" " About us." "Oh, no." "No." "Jem..." "I just want to say I'm sorry." "Why?" " I've not been a very good friend." " You have." "No, I haven't." "I've been very selfish, caught up in my own pathetic shit." "Oh, you have every right to." "Not any more." "I'm bored of it, bored of wallowing." "(Laughs) I'm only just beginning." "Well, I can help you out." "(Train rumbles in the distance)" "How you feeling?" "Not great." "She was very fond of you." "I don't feel as sad as I thought I would." "You're very lovely, you know." "Thanks." "So are you." "Charlie?" " Charlie?" " (Charlie) Yes, Mummy?" "Can you come down here a minute, please, darling?" "OK." "Hey, my favourite princess." "I was just calling Daddy to see if he can take you to Emily's party tomorrow." "Yay!" "But first, perhaps there's something you might want to say to Daddy?" "(Phone dial beeping)" "(Ringing tone)" " (Toby on speakerphone) Hello?" " Hi, Daddy." "Hiya." " Can you take me to Emily's party?" " A party?" " When is it?" " When is it, Mummy?" " Sorry for making a fuss, Daddy." " That's all right." "It's tomorrow afternoon, So you can pick Charlie up from Jem and George's at four." " OK." " Thank you, Daddy, I can't wait to see you." "And I can't wait to see you, Princess..." "Anna?" " Thanks, Toby." " (Phone beeps)" "Come here." "Oh, I love you..." "(Doorbell ringing)" "(Anna) Hello." "Are you OK?" "Look, I've-I've-I've made a decision." "I love you." "I really love you, Anna." "I want to leave Jem." "It can't go on like this." "It's not good for her or Joe." "I think that we should separate and I've been... feeling like this for... a while now." " I really love you." " Oh, my God." "Sorry, I know this is a shock..." "But I..." "I had to tell you." "Jesus, you better come in." " Well?" " "Well," what?" " Well, aren't you going to say anything?" " I don't know what to say." "Well, erm... do you feel the same?" "No." "Oh, God." "Listen, it's not a good time..." "You've got to calm down, George, please." "You don't believe me." "You've got to stop this, this is crazy." " I'm going to leave Jem anyway." " (Sighs)" "How..." "How can I carry on after all this?" " You are not going to leave Jem!" " I am." " You are not!" " I am." " Oh, you're pathetic, George." " What?" " You are pathetic." " Why?" "You and me..." "That's the mess!" "Not you and Jem!" "Jesus, this is bad." "See, I think that you do love me." "I do not love you." "It's over." "It was wrong." "I'm so sorry I did it." "But it's done..." "And that's that." "If you tell Jem, you'll be making the biggest mistake of your life." " You-You just can't face it." " No!" "No, you will risk breaking up your family." "You will lose everything." "I can tell you, that is shit!" "You will never get it back." "So you think about what you've got and if you really want to lose it and have nothing." "Don't think for one minute you'll have me, because you will not." "Can you leave now, please?" "Don't you dare tell Jem!" " (Whimpering)" " No, no..." "George, no." "(Thud)" "Me and Jem were OK until all of this happened." "I'll bring Joe around later." "Goodbye, George." "(Keys jangling, lock opens)" " (Stephen) Hello." " Hi." " A cup of tea?" " Please, yeah." " You notice anything different?" " Yeah." "Nice and clean." "It's taken me ages." "Was everything all right?" "Not really." "What happened?" "Helen died." "Oh, darling, I'm sorry, that's sad." "Yeah." "Well, she had a good life, didn't she?" "I think so." " What would you like to do this afternoon?" " I'm not sure." "We could go for a walk." "Here you go." "Cheer you up a bit." "What do you think?" "Erm, I'm not sure." " A film..." "Let's do something." " I don't know." "Come on, let's have a nice afternoon together, we deserve it." " Fiona..." " What?" "I..." "I've been thinking, erm, about what you were saying this morning." "Right, I went a bit too far, I'm sorry." "No, no, you know what?" "You didn't." "I'm not in love with you any more." "I'm sorry." "No, you're not." "(Sighs)" "(American accent) We're gonna put a bath on, sheriff." "Don't shoot me..." "Come on." "(Toy gun clicking)" " (Joe) Can we have bubbles?" " Yes. (Laughs)" " Daddy?" " Yeah?" "I like it when you give me a bath." " Do you?" " Yeah." "I like giving you a bath, Joe." " Can I have more bubbles?" " Yes!" "Come on..." "In you go!" "(Joe laughs, splashing)" " How many bubbles do you want?" "Loads?" " Yeah." " You'll be lost in bubbles?" " Yeah!" "Wa-hey!" " (Joe giggling, splashing) - (Sloshing)" "(George) I don't want you splashing me." "(Joe laughs)" "(Anna) Come on, sleepyhead." "Do you need one of these?" "(Gentle kiss)" "Do you need one of these?" "(Kiss)" "Oh, that's a big one." "Do you need one of these?" "(Kiss)" " Do you need one of these?" "(Kiss) - (Laughing) And one for luck?" "(Kiss)" "Good night, pumpkin pie." " And one for spare." " One for spare." "Sleep tight." " Charlie?" " Yeah?" "(Sighs) We need to help Daddy." "Why?" " I see you every day, don't I?" " Yeah." "So I'm OK." "But Daddy doesn't." "So when you see him, he needs more help than I do." "Do you understand?" "Yes, Mummy, I can give him more hugs." "That's perfect." "I love you very much, you know?" "I love you too." "(Blows kiss)" "(Urinating)" " Morning." " Hello." "Erm, I'll give 'em a lift on the way, George isn't feeling very well." " Oh, thanks, Jem." " In you get, poppets." "Anna, thanks for listening to me yesterday." " Anytime." " Great." "Right, can you manage?" "Hey... (Kids talking, indistinct)" "Oh, Toby's going to pick Charlie up from yours this afternoon to take her to a party." " Can you tell George?" " Er, yeah." "It'll be nice to see him." "Thanks, Jem." "See you later." "(Engine starts)" "Take care, sweetie, have a nice day." "(Plane passing overhead)" "(Machinery whirring)" " How you doing?" " Oh, just great." " Ah, well." " Exactly." "Exactly." "Well, what do you think, Frank?" "My father always used to say..." "Eh..." " Your father used to say..." " My father?" "He used to say, life is..." "Life is..." "Cheers, Frank." "(Joe) Can I go, Daddy?" " No, darling, I'm sorry." " Why?" "Cos we're going to have a party of our own here, darling." " Can I dress up?" " Of course you can." "(Birds chirping)" "Charlie?" "This is for you." "(Birds chirping)" "(Toy whirring)" "(Pages crinkling)" "(Birds chirping)" "(Pages crinkling)" "We'll miss her, won't we, Marie?" "Some things never change, eh, Marie?" "(Penny) Uh-huh." "OK, rest, lovely, very nice, David..." "Doing some conducting there." "(Laughs) Seven and eight..." "Very nice, Rebecca." "Hey, Penny, we've got another customer that needs cheering up." "Oh, OK, Marie." "Are you all right?" "Do you want to come and sit down?" "Come and sit here." "You all right?" "You've got your tissue." "All right, Marie, OK." "All right, Harold, right." "And do the ladder, climb the ladder." "Well done, Marie." "Just do what you can."
