"Is that the way you feel?" "Yes." "Why?" "Well, I've always got this fear of losing everything and being destitute." "And nobody wanting you." "You know, the fear, I mean?" "Oh, my." "It's very sad when you think about that, especially when you're home alone and..." "Yes..." "And..." "Just thinking..." "Just thinking..." "Yeah, you think to yourself:" ""what am I going to do?"" "Well, let's hope for the best." "Yes..." "Yes." "I'm sure our children will take good care of us." "Well, they've been very good up to now."

"He comes to me and "do-da, do-da"." "Oh, that hurts me" "But..." "What can we do?" "There's nothing we can do, nothing at all." "When I think that something might happen to my boy..." "You always got that in your mind?" "Yes." "How come?" "I just think he was on loan to me, you know?" "That's where it's bad, when you only have one child." "I think the families that have two, three, or more..." "See my son's got two." "If anything happens to one, he has another." "Yeah, well, don't feel bad, don't feel bad." "I do..." "I feel awful..." "Ah, come on." "Don't be sad." "No, no, I mustn't cry." "You mustn't cry." "You okay?" "I'm okay, Alice." "Are you okay?" "I'm okay now." "Yes." "I feel better now that it came out." "Well, I picked all the berries, huh?" "How much do you have?" "I've got about six." "It won't go very far." "Half is going in your mouth." "There's one!" "See if you can catch it!" "Ah, I got it!" "There it goes!" "There he is!" "I'm treading on it." "Got him!" "I've got him, I've got him!" "Cover up." "Oh, aren't you wonderful!" "We're going to eat tonight!" "I mean that." "Oh, my god." "Hold on, they're spades?" "Supper for you." "A rare delicacy." "Let's go." "And we caught them, you cook them." "Oh!" "They can't get out." "He jumped." "Only half way." "People pay big money to eat that in restaurants." "So what's so shocking?" "But we have to kill them, that is bad." "Who's going to do the killing?" "I'm not doing it, forget it." "Well, we better draw lots." "You want to eat?" "Help yourself." "Oh, he's coming up!" "I think if we draw the card, the high card will..." "You agree with that?" "Yes." "All right." "Draw one." "Those poor things." "Cissy." "Queen." "Looks like me." "I've got a queen too." "We both do it." "You and I." "All right." "They're very good." "Congratulations." "Tastes pretty good, huh?" "Did you eat yours?" "Best food I've eaten in a week." "Is it?" "Yes, it certainly is." "What was the last thing you cooked when you was home?" "Back home in England?" "Something out of that garden?" "Just the idea of eating Frogs legs..." "I can't..." "They're a delicacy." "But I like frogs legs." "I like frogs legs." "Yes, I can tell." "I never thought I would." "I always liked them." "You've had them once before, didn't you?" "Do you like frogs legs?" "Want some?" "No, thank you." "You should eat to stay strong." "I don't want any." "That's more for us." "I smell castor oil." "Is that what you're using?" "Did you take that when you were little?" "Yes." "I don't think it's good for you inside." "But my therapist said that was excellent as a poultice for my arthritic feet." "And I'm going to walk out tomorrow so I need help." "Catherine, obviously your feet are not in good shape." "You've been working for hours on the bus" "And you're the only one who's volunteered to walk out." "Do you thrive on ordeals?" "No." "You don't have the habit of setting yourself tasks." "The long habit from being a nun." "Having tasks set for you." "I know what you mean." "Not really." "You..." "Sometimes you do them because you want to live the life you want to live." "Don't let yourself get stopped by things." "You can limp, sit down, you can, ah..." "Oh, I'll look for places along the road to paint." "I'll pray." "I'll listen to my walkman." "You do pray?" "I mean, you might pray?" "I will pray." "I wouldn't pray." "Why not?" "Well, I might say: "oh please, let my feet get me through this horrible thing"." "Oh, please" "Please, my" "You'd pray to your feet" "Dear feet, get me through this horrible ordeal..." "Mine don't obey that." "You have a secret..." "I'd like to know it." "I'd never be able to walk 20, never 20 miles, ever." "You could if you had to." "I think you'll have to give me lessons in foot control." "You like that?" "I like that very much." "Wiggle, wiggle!" "I remember one time when I was young, me and my girlfriend, we were about maybe 16-17." "We used to cross the CPR bridge, the train bridge, to go to Lachine." "We used to go dancing there." "Imagine that!" "CPR bridge..." "They're that wide." "And you have to cross there." "On the tracks?" "If the train's coming, there's only a little space there to sit." "To wait for it?" "It would pass here." "Imagine when you're young, what you can do." "Oh, we had a good time..." "You got home at one?" "Just about." "I wasn't so lucky." "We'd get home at 1 1 ." "At the dance, they'd have two bands in the ballroom in Liverpool." "The Palais de danse?" "Yes, and they never stopped." "You took these long strides." "Oh, I know." "Good exercise." "I wish I could do it now." "When you first fell in love, how did you feel?" "Marvellous." "Walking on air." "But I'm rather fickle." "After eight months, I can't stand them." "I don't think I'm the marrying kind." "How about you, your first love?" "Oh, it was like heaven." "I remember we used to dance." "I always thought I was alone on that dance floor with him." "And I married the guy." "I was really in love." "It's not often you marry the first one." "But as much as I loved him, I hated him a the end." "Ah, that's sad." "That's really a true story." "That's a shame." "If you met a right guy today, would you fall in love with him?" "Right now?" "Yeah, do you think you would?" "I suppose." "Why not?" "Still got our..." "Hopes..." "Dreams..." "You're still alive..." "Ah, yes, definitely!" "I still like to be kissed." "Why not, yes." "I still have feelings." "Sure." "I envy the youngsters." "When I see a fellow and girl" "I was watching one saturday at the dance." "Were they in love!" "Really in love, or just dancing?" "If I were 16, I'd do the same thing." "It was so nice to watch them." "I was picturing myself at her place." "With a good-Iooking guy?" "Oh, well, yeah." "The way they were looking at each other, they could just eat each other." "You'd like some love today, the way you're talking." "Am I right?" "Maybe if I get a right guy." "Of course." "You too, Beth." "But then again, uh..." "You don't lose interest because you're older." "Just talking about makes me feel that I still could." "Well, I guess we could dream, huh?" "Constance, there's the white throated sparrow." "Where?" "In there." "In the woods." "There it is." "I can't hear it." "I can't hear it." "Is it still singing?" "It doesn't sing very much, you know." "It sings its song and..." "It's singing." "You hear it?" "Yes." "I think I heard a faint sound, but I'm not sure." "I'd give anything to hear it again." "Wonderful bird." "Can you imitate it?" "It goes like that." "Three sounds." "I wish it would start again." "[Distant voice]:" "Is anybody there?" "We're alive!" "We're alive." "Is anyone there, we're all alive." "We're all alive!" "Hello," "Mary!" "Hello, Alice!" "Hello, Winnie!" "Hello, Cissy!" "Mary..." "Yes?" "It's so quiet, isn't it?" "So quiet..." "Oh, are you frightened?" "No." "When was the time, you were most frightened in your whole life?" "During the war." "It must have been terrible." "Yes, it was." "You were in an underground shelter?" "Yes, yes." "What was it like when the V-2s came over?" "It was a peculiar sound, really." "It was a bump, bump, bump..." "Like a throbbing sound." "As though something was coming along in the air." "You know, like that." "And then?" "And then it would stop, and god help you." "You just kept your fingers crossed that it was somewhere else, away from you." "It was just like firework night." "We don't want any more of that." "Never." "No." "Whole streets disappeared." "I'm off." "Well, my dear..." "Good luck." "I'll need luck." "Now you take care." "Goodbye." "Don't overdo it." "Au revoir." "Okay, girls, let's go for a walk." "Don't go too far!" "There's frogs over there." "The water is beautiful." "Ah, there's frogs all round!" "Never mind the frogs!" "Come on!" "Come and get me!" "Come and get me!" "Come on!" "Not afraid, huh?" "What about you?" "You're looking for trouble, huh?" "Ah, this is nice..." "Come on." "No!" "You bunch of chickens!" "Breathe..." "Stretch..." "Breathe..." "Stretch, down..." "Stretch, down..." "Isn't it peaceful here." "Where did you learn this?" "I was a belly dancer in my youth." "I got the tummy to show it." "Graceful..." "Very graceful." "Where did you learn this one?" "Go, go, Cissy, get it moving!" "Nice and slow but if you don't likeFit, don't do it." "I like it." "Get the knees going, get the knees going." "Stretch!" "Aaah!" "We've got some food!" "Look what we've got: fish!" "Now we're gonna eat!" "Oooahg!" "It's almost like chitlins..." "Haw..." "I don't want to touch them." "It won't bite you." "This is the most wanted mushroom in the world." "People exclaim with joy when they see these." "You don't look like you're dying to eat one." "I'm not very enthusiastic about those." "Sometimes you peel these." "I'll take it, I'll take it!" "Would you like a king?" "As soon as I throw this down." "Come on, girls." "Don't rush me, don't rush me!" "You got two of the same there." "Da Da Da Dah" "Ba Ba Bah La Laah Lah" "It's a sin to tell a lie" "Who's next?" "Millions" "Of hearts have been" "Broken" "I know why." "Just because these words" "Were spoken" "I love you yes I do" "I love you" "If you break my heart" "I'll die" "You're knocking, Constance?" "Knocking." "We have one more chance." "So be sure" "Oh boy!" "It's true" "When you say I love you" "That's disgusting!" "It's a sin" "To tell" "Ooh!" "..." "A Lie" "Aaah..." "Rock-o!" "Something nice, kid." "30!" "Pay girls, pay!" "If you have the same" "See how smart you were?" "You going to win." "And you, Constance?" "King, jack, jack." "You knocked on that?" "She's got nothing but 1 1 ." "Constance, you have to have three jacks." "I've got nothing." "She laughs, she laughs..." "I don't believe it." "Beautiful sky, uh?" "Yes." "Look at the stars." "There's millions of them." "Isn't there?" "When you die, do you think there's heaven?" "Yes, I believe in it." "Yes, I do." "Sometimes I think when you die, that's it." "There's no heaven, there's no hell." "Nothing at all?" "You're burried and it's all over." "I think there is." "I think there's something further on." "I like to think my husband's up there." "Watching me." "Laughing." "What a fool." "What a fool I am." "Well, they say they're always watching us." "Yes." "Yeah, maybe." "What a beautiful moon." "Yes, and a beautiful night." "And all's well with the world." "We hope..." "Mmm..." "It's Catherine." "Mary, Cissy, I'm here." "I made it!" "Goodbye, house." "Alice, how do you say goodbye in mohawk?" "O:nen ki wahi." "O:nen ki wahi." "O:nen ki wahi." "O:nen ki wahi." "O:nen ki wahi." "O:nen ki wahi." "Well, let's get going." "Captions performed by" "Centre national du sous-titrage PST inc."
