"So... is this everything?" "Yeah." "I don't like clutter." "Oh, no, no." "Don't worry." "I'm not fanatical or anything." "It's just when you see so many people snuff it, you realise only junk gets left behind." "You know, I might have a clear-out." "Lead a more minimalist lifestyle." "Yeah." "Now I've heard everything." "Shut up." "I might." "Morning, birthday girl." "Take a seat." "Mmm." "Today, you are having the full birthday breakfast experience." "We've even got jam and marmalade in little pots, like you get at a hotel." "To be fair, they're eggcups, but you get the idea." "Do I open it now?" "You can do whatever you want." "It's your birthday." "How did you know I wanted this?" "Rigorous detective work." "No." "I heard you telling Tess and I gave her a call." "Do you like it?" "I love it!" "Thank you." "It's meant to make you happy, not sad." "I'm not sad." "I bloody hate DIY." "Tell you what, you got the right idea, going out with a spark." "I bet she does everything like this." "Oh, yeah." "She would." "Only we're not together any more." "Oh, shit." "Um, sorry." "It's OK." "We weren't together long." "It was a... she says 'to-mah-to', I say 'to-may-to' situation." "So I called the whole thing off." "Let me guess." "You were being weird and avoiding her." "So she forced you to dump her?" "How did...?" "Well, you know, you're messy, which means you're probably more of an avoider than a confronter." "So, um, are you seeing anyone at the moment or...?" "Oh, no - spent my twenties sleeping with the wrong women..." "Frankie being a prime example... which is a sure-fire way to end up single." "I'm off for a run." "I'll see you later." "See you." "Don't you dare clear up that mess." "I'll do it." "Oh..." "Can't stay long." "Gotta be somewhere." "So do you want to yell at me again?" "No." "I..." "I wanted to say I'm sorry." "You're right." "I was a cock." "You're not getting back in my pants, if that's what you think." "It's not what I want." "Charmed, I'm sure." "Nah..." "I would." "I would want to." "I..." "I think you know I'm into someone else." "How is Cat?" "Still married." "I'm working on it." "So are we mates?" "Mmm." "Sod it." "Why not?" "So... how are you?" "Just chipper, apart from being broke and jobless." "Well, I just might be able to help out with that." "Hey, are you OK?" "It's Lexy, isn't it?" "Hi." "My God." "This isn't embarrassing at all." "I was hoping I wouldn't run into anyone." "I'm a bit new to the whole running thing." "The more you do, the easier it gets." "IF I do any more." "Oh, God - sometimes, I can't wait till we're 80 and I can just throw self-improvement to the wind." "Yeah." "Buy a stair lift and eat doughnuts all day." "Don't forget the motorised wheelchair." "Oh, God." "Now you're just talking dirty." "Don't let yourself cool down too much." "I'm, uh..." "I'm heading that way if you want to run together?" "Oh, no, no." "You're really fit." "Um, I mean you're really healthy." "And I just quit smoking, so I've got the lung capacity of a small hamster." "I better go." "You sure you don't want to...?" "Yeah, no, no." "I'm cool." "All right." "See you." "Go for it." "Now he comes here every day, and he doesn't look at me, doesn't see me." "I have no hope at all." "None." "Oh, God." "Give me strength..." "Sorry." "Sorry." "Um, I was wondering if Tess could leave a pause after, "It's so painful."" "Otherwise, I don't get a chance to react." "Right." "Right." "Um, what... what kind of reaction were you looking for?" "Well, even though this is a big speech for Sonya, in a way, this scene is just as much about Elena and her conflict over Astrov." "And I just think that if the audience could see my reaction, that might be helpful." "Right." "Tess, could we try that with a pause?" "Sure." "Oh, it's so painful." "I have no hope at all." "None." "Oh, God." "Give me strength." "I have been praying all night..." "Sorry." "Sorry, sorry." "Oh." "Is... is Tess going to walk upstage on the night?" "It's just... it sort of pulls all the focus onto Sonya." "Well, it is a really big moment for Sonya." "Yes." "But as I said before, this scene isn't all about Sonya, Tess." "And it makes it very difficult for me to do my job." "Right." "Uh..." "Maybe, uh, you could both come upstage." "Well, if... if Tess is all right with that?" "Sure." "That's fine." "Great." "Well, if you don't tell me which restaurant we're going to, how will I know what to wear?" "A negligee and a pair of killer heels should do it." "Look, just don't wear jeans or trainers." "That's where I'm going - in there." "Are you OK?" "Yeah." "I'll see you tonight." "Mmm." "I'll see you." "Table's booked for 7:30." "OK." "OK." "Bye." "I've always considered being doubled-over, gasping for breath a rather sexy look." "Anyway, she's got a bloody girlfriend, which is just my luck." "One day, I'm going to fancy someone who isn't unstable or taken." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Oh." "Third bloody call today." "They could at least say something." "Did you see that?" "What?" "New radiologist." "Not even so much as a glance in my direction." "I've tried the charm offence in the canteen, you know, giving him the eye." "Usually that's got them eating out of the palm of my hand, but nothing." "Maybe he's straight." "No." "He's definitely gay." "He is." "I have a sixth sense." "I see gay people." "Well, maybe he doesn't fancy you." "Not possible." "Ten minutes in my company, even nuns want a piece of me." "Yeah." "Why do you even care?" "There's plenty more fish." "Yeah." "But those other fish want to fuck me." "This fish doesn't." "So now, naturally, he's the only fish that I want to fuck." "Can I interest you in ear infection with discharge or unremitting vomiting?" "It's like the Cadbury's Christmas Selection box all over again." "I'll have ear infection with discharge." "Good choice." "This is the last thing I need after breaking up with Fin." "I should be enjoying myself, not... wondering how I'm going to get through this without killing Nora." "She's just an actress." "They're all the same." "Selfish, faithless, self-absorbed." "I'm an actress." "Present company excepted." "Take my wife." "20 years of happy marriage, and as soon as that arse Thomas Delaware slithers in our direction, she's off!" "Your wife's with Thomas Delaware?" "Who... who I personally hated in Hearts of Stone." "It was a terrible performance." "Tom Cruise acted him off the screen." "Which is hardly surprising!" "Before some idiot plucked him from obscurity, he couldn't get arrested." "I used to see him at the dole queue." "Now it's "Delaware this", "Delaware that"." "What does Delaware like to do in his free time?" "I'll tell you what." "Steal other people's fucking wives!" "That's bloody well what." "The bastard!" "Crisp?" "It's a new flavour." "I thought you weren't coming." "Do you not want your present?" "I've got a present for you first." "Like it?" "It's just what I've always wanted." "I want you to watch me." "I forgot 15 minutes surveillance feels like 10 hours." "So, where are you taking Cat tonight?" "La Maison." "It's a surprise." "Shit!" "Mmm." "They don't even have prices on the menu, do they?" "I know a pint and a burger are your idea of a hot date, but I'm way classier than you, so..." "Reckon you and Cat will do the civil partnership thing?" "I don't know." "We've not talked about it." "I'd marry her tomorrow, though." "Look at you, all soppy." "You're a changed woman since you found love." "I still cannot believe they let you be a police officer." "So, do you want your present?" "How did you enjoy yours?" "It was pretty fucking hot." "You're such a voyeur." "Like you're not a total exhibitionist." "Excuse me." "Oh." "Sorry." "It's beautiful." "Then..." "Look." "Our initials." "It might be a little difficult to wear it in public." "That's why the inscription's on the inside." "Anyway, I was... hoping that wouldn't be a problem for too much longer." "Have you thought any more about what you're going to do?" "Can we... not talk about it today?" "It's my birthday." "I just want to enjoy being with you." "Do you have to be somewhere?" "No." "Sadie's picking me up, but not for another hour yet." "Sadie?" "Yeah." "She's broke." "I'm just paying her to drive me to a job in the Highlands." "Cat?" "It's fine." "I'm not in any position to... tell you what to do." "Well, I don't want to do anything." "I don't want to sleep with anyone else." "I love you." "I'm going to wait for you." "Enjoy your trip." "I'll text you." "I thought you're weren't back till 6:00." "Uh, we got out early from rehearsals." "I'm..." "Tess." "Tess." "Cat." "I'll talk to her." "What..." "What if she says something?" "She won't." "I'll deal with it, OK?" "You're going to be late." "Tess." "Tess." "It's not what you think." "I don't want to know." "No." "I love her." "I want to be with her." "That's what you said last time." "Yeah." "Well, I'm not stupid enough to make the same mistake twice." "I'm not going to hurt her again." "Well, someone's going to get hurt." "What about Sam?" "Is she leaving her?" "I don't know." "I hope so." "Well, I just..." "I hope you know what you're doing." "Tess." "I won't say anything, if that's what you're worried about." "Thanks." "I was going to wear sensible shoes, but then, I thought, "Fuck that."" "Excuse me." "Can I cadge a cig off you, please?" "There you go." "Oh." "Thank you." "Thank you." "So she walked in on you mid-snog?" "It's not funny, Sadie." "Yeah, it is." "Never apply for Secret Service, will you?" "Can't even have an affair properly." "I hope you're not going to be texting each other all evening, cos it'll get really boring." "No." "It's from Lauren, the editor." "She said the journalist can't make it." "I should go ahead without him." "So who's going to write this article?" "Don't know." "Sadie?" "Hmm." "Why am I sitting on a pair of pants?" "I don't know." "Probably some conquest or another." "I'm quite popular, you know." "Oh, and they leave their bra too?" "Give me that." "Right." "I want this monitor hooked up." "Let's get the sides down." "OK, everyone ready?" "On my count." "One, two, three." "OK, people." "We have a female, Catherine MacKenzie." " Confirm airways?" " Secure." "Suffered major blow to chest after initial blow to the lower limbs, which we do suspect is a bilateral fracture." "What's the situation with that chest, Lexy?" "Patient 96." "Lexy?" "I know her." "She's friends with my flatmates." "If we don't get a shift on, they ain't going to know her much longer." "Nothing coming through on this monitor yet." "Sam!" "Oh, if this is about work, forget it." "Sam, I just got a call from Traffic." "What?" "Shit." "Her stats have dropped to 84." "Poorer to your right side." "I think we've got a haemothorax." "Right." "Get a chest drain ready." "No sign of the X-ray yet." "She's crashing." "This looks like VF." " Are the pads secure?" " Yep." "OK." "Can you get me one milligram of adrenaline ready?" "OK." "Charging at 120." "Everyone, stand clear." "And shocking." "My partner's been brought in." "Cat MacKenzie." "It was a traffic accident." "Can you wait there a moment, please?" "Six." "Four, five, six." "Seven." "And Eight." "Get me some more adrenaline." "Stop there." "Continue." "One, two, three, four... five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." "Two." "Administering adrenaline." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Right." "No change." "I'm going to call it." "OK." "Well done, ladies." "Time of death, 18:11." "How come you never bought ME an expensive camera?" "Never had any money before, have I?" "Anyway, Cat always gets me expensive presents." "Although Sam stole my thunder with a designer bag." "Hello?" "Yes, it is." "What?" "Where?" "We've got to go." "What?" "Um..." "Ed!" "Is she OK?" "She's gone." "What do you mean?" "What are you talking about?" "Uh, we need to get someone." "Why..." "Why aren't they doing something?" "She's gone." "She didn't make it." "Fucking great!" "When was the last time you had this thing serviced?" "Look, don't give me any gip." "I'm doing you a favour, remember." "Well, I hope you know how to change a tyre, cos I don't." "You have got a spare, right?" "What?" "Can't drive." "Can't change a tyre." "Turns out you're not so cool after all." "Oh, fucking hell." "Grrr!" "Hah!" "Oh." "Jesus, Sadie." "What have you got in here?" "Are you living in your car?" "Just shut up and help me, will you?" "Oh, man." "It's fucked." "Come on." "When are your parents coming?" "Um, first thing tomorrow." "They're travelling back from my uncle's." "I saw her this morning." "We were going to meet up in the morning, and take pictures with her new camera." "Is there anything I can get you?" "There's a vending machine or I can go to the canteen." "Is there anything you want to ask?" "Any questions?" "Hmm." "Did she say anything?" "Oh, no." "No." "She would've been unconscious as soon as it happened." "What was his blood alcohol level - the bloke that killed her?" "He hadn't been drinking." "Is he here?" "Uh, he's got a suspected concussion." "We're keeping him in for observation." "I'm really, really sorry." "'Leave a message." "'And if I like you, I'll call you back.'" "It's just going straight to answer phone." "Why isn't she picking up?" "Sadie?" "Any texts for me?" "She'd be out with Sam." "Anyway, Cat won't want to text my phone." "I'm not her favourite person, am I?" "I'm going to hit the sack." "I've always liked this." "Sadie!" "You seriously telling me we're going to waste this shit-hot hotel room?" "I've told Cat I'm not going to sleep with anyone else." "Why not?" "She is." "Yeah." "Well..." "I owe her one." "She gets to call the shots." "You really love her, don't you?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I do." "DS Murray." "Merchant City." "Yeah." "I need the name of the driver involved in the Franken Street RTA yesterday." "How are you?" "He's asleep now." "He had a bad night." "It wasn't his fault." "He could've been talking on his mobile or reading a map." "Yeah." "And if he was... it's not going to bring her back." "He was so distraught last night, we had to sedate him." "If you go in there, you're not going to feel any better." "And you would make an already devastated man a lot worse." "This is very tastefully decorated..." "She was always so careful." "She even ironed her socks." "How does someone who irons her socks walk into the road without looking?" "Eyup!" "What's going on?" "Um, we were trying to call you." "We left you messages." "Yeah." "My phone's busted." "Has something happened?" "Um..." "Um..." "Uh, there was an accident." "Cat was hurt." "Is she OK?" "Where is she?" "Just tell me where she is!" "She..." "She died, Frankie." "What?" "She's dead." "It's OK." "Um, I'm making a cup of tea." "Do you want one?" "You haven't told anyone about me and Cat, have you?" "No." "Good." "Don't." "Did you talk to her?" "Bad?" "Same." "You don't think she'd do anything stupid, do you?" "Oh, no, no." "It's only been a few days." "She'd still be in shock." "Guess they were really close." "Yeah." "I think Frankie loved her more than anyone." "And Cat?" "Uh..." "Cat was with Sam." "She was... meant to be the one we could rely on." "How could she just go and fucking die on us?" "I don't..." "Hey." "Hey." "Come here." "That..." "That'll be Sam." "Yeah." "Hi." "Do you want a... coffee, tea?" "Um, we haven't got any builders', but we've got loads of herbal." "I'm fine, thanks." "Hey." "Hey." "Um, I'll..." "I'll go and get the stuff." "How you doin'?" "Thank you... for the other day." "Oh." "No." "Don't mention it." "I'd have wanted to do the same if it was me." "Um, this is the CD I told you about." "Um, she used to play track four all the time at uni." "Uh... and these are some pictures of me and her around that time." "And that's a card for Judy and Jerry." "I'm goin' out." "I should be getting going as well." "Send my love to Judy and Jerry." "Happy, happy." "Can I help with anything, dear?" "Jerry." "Jerry, sit down." "I don't need you under my feet." "Does Sam eat chocolate?" "I've only got chocolate biscuits." "I'm sure it'll be fine, Mum." "It might not be." "Your auntie Joan can't eat chocolate because of her migraines." "I knew there was something I had to remember." "I said to you, Jerry, remind me about the digestives!" "I'll get it." "I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry." "Why don't we talk about the flowers?" "Have you any thoughts about what you might like for the church?" "Well, carnations are traditional, aren't they?" "And maybe some hyacinth." "Cat bought me some once for Mother's Day." "They always make me think of her." "Um..." "I..." "I was wondering maybe we should have Cat's favourite flowers." "She loved lilies." "She never mentioned it to me." "Um, we can come back to the flowers." "Let's talk about music for the service." "People often like something when everyone's entering and leaving." "I was thinking something soothing." "Maybe some John Denver or Cliff Richard." "Um, I really don't think Cat would've wanted that, Mum." "I..." "I suppose she told you she didn't like them." "I just don't think she would've wanted cheesy muzak, Mum." "It wasn't Cat's thing." "Oh, well." "I'm obviously getting everything wrong." "I'm sorry." "I'm just trying to do my best for my daughter." "But if you don't want my help, then fine." "Fine." "Come on." "Who gets to the age of 30 and doesn't have any unladdered tights?" "Tess, I promise you no-one's going to give a shit about your tights." "Frankie in?" "Yeah." "But we're just about to go to the funeral." "It's OK." "You go." "I'll catch you up." "Tess, just go, all right?" "Come on." "I'll walk you on my way to work." "Hi." "Sorry." "I didn't know what time you were leavin'." "I just wanted to see how you were doing." "Great." "I guess I had it coming." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing." "Then you better get dressed." "No." "I'm not going." "What are you talking about?" "I..." "I can't sit there with Sam and Cat's parents, pretending like we were just good friends, and no-one knowing what we actually meant to each other." "Would you go?" "Yeah." "I would, cos I'm not a total idiot." "You know what you meant to each other." "Sod everyone else." "Frankie." "If you don't go, you'll regret it." "Let's get you dressed, and then see how you feel." "God, she was really young." "It sucks." "How's your mates?" "Ah, well, they've just lost their partner, sister and best friend on her birthday, so not exactly chipper." "Fingers crossed they held on to the receipts for the birthday presents." "Still, a chapter ends for them, and a door opens for you." "What?" "Well, she was the girlfriend of the one you fancy, right?" "You're unbelievable." "What?" "Look, I might catch up with you later." "Oh, what?" "You're not going to eat lunch?" "No." "Because I'm having lunch with him." "Well, I've been deeply affected by your friend's bereavement." "I've decided life's too short to eat lunch with your pals, when actually, I should be trying to get laid." "See ya." "Hi." "Is, um..." "Is this seat taken?" "No." "It's not?" "Oh, it's free." "Might I..." "That all right?" "Hey, Frankie." "It's me." "Um, where are you?" "It's going to start any minute." "Um... if you're not going to come, can you just call me, and let me know you're OK?" "Bye." "She's still not answering." "Maybe she just can't take it." "What's with the music?" "It's Judy's idea." "We're having something that Cat might actually have liked later." "Your parents here?" "I haven't told them." "They're on holiday, so..." "Those ought to be inside, shouldn't they, Jerry?" "They should all be in by now, surely." "And I hope those hyacinths are inside, because I can't see them out here." "Starting to think Australia might be nice this time of year." "Or you can always come and visit me if you need to get away." "What...?" "Yeah." "I've been offered the job in London." "I might take it." "What?" "Yeah, it's, uh..." "You don't have to work somewhere every day where she used to be." "It's doing my head in." "Anyway, life's too short, as we've just found out." "Uh... your mum's getting a bit anxious." "We'd better get in." "'Catherine's life might have been cut short, ' but she had lived it to the full." "A loving daughter to Judy and Jerry, a sister to Edward, a talented architect, she touched the lives of all those around her." "Who the hell is this joker?" "We wanted someone secular, but Mum thought it might be weird." "Like this isn't." "And in the buildings she helped to design." "She hasn't got back to me, either." "It's bloody Sadie." "I bet it's so her fault." "You think they're out getting wasted somewhere?" "That's probably what I'd do, if I was in her shoes." "Frankie's been through shit before." "She'll come out the other side." "Yeah." "Now Catherine's brother, Edward, will say a few words." "You know, don't you?" "Well, they do say it's better to have loved and lost." "Cat... wasn't just my big sister." "She was much more than that." "Anyone who knew her will know how kind she was... and... how organised." "C-Cat was my go-to person when I needed help." "So when I was little, and I couldn't tie my shoelaces," "Cat showed me how." "She encouraged me to keep writing when I thought getting published was just a pipedream." "And... if I was ever upset, she always knew what to say." "Anyway..." "Well, now my big sister's died, and... the person I really need to call is Cat... cos she'd tell me how to get through this." "Anyway, I..." "I just wanted to say that..." "I miss her... and I'm never going to stop missing her." "Uh, I think..." "I think Sam's going to say a few words now." "Cat was the best thing that ever happened to me." "I thought I'd have kids with her and grow old with her." "I never thought I'd be here today, saying this." "Double whisky." "This is a pub, right?" "Not the fucking priory." ""For I am the resurrection and the life," said the Lord." ""He that believeth in Me," ""though he were dead, yet shall he live." ""And whomsoever liveth and believeth in Me" ""shall never die." ""Dust to dust." ""Ashes to ashes."" "What are you doing here?" "I just want to... talk to you." "Are you drunk?" "Cat died." "She's dead." "I am really, really sorry to hear that." "Are you all right?" "Can I come in?" "No." "No." "I'm sorry." "Please." "I, um... just want to talk." "Well, you..." "You can't be here." "Alma, who is it?" "No-one." "I'm your..." "I'm your daughter." "John's here." "We can't talk now." "We can talk another time." "Yeah." "Just... run and save your own skin, like you did before, yeah?" "Everything all right?" "Yeah." "It's fine." "I'll be down in a minute." "Don't let me ruin your evening." "Just screw how I feel." "I'm just messing up your lovely little life, aren't I?" "Well, fuck you!" "I didn't want to know you, anyway." "You know?" "I just..." "Frankie?" "I left her a note." "Maybe I should try her again." "You know Frankie." "She'll just be doing her own thing." "It's Sam I'm worried about." "It's got to be worse for her." "Yeah." "I suppose." "Mum's going to drive me mad." "She'll calm down eventually." "Hello?" "I guess it didn't go so well, then." "If she wasn't with me... she'd still be at work." "She..." "She'd... be alive." "No, no, no, no." "Shh." "Shh." "Come on." "That's not true." "Please."
