"I've been on the beat, undercover, in a suit, you know, it's the law." "It's, uh, Einstein's law of relativity." "What does that mean, exactly, sir?" "Relativity?" "Well, relatively speaking, um, it means, if me and Sandy here break the law, you know, we're gonna get a decent lawyer." "Hmm." "Now these guys who broke in here, they go straight to jail." ""Do not pass Go."" "One law for us, one for them." "Except we haven't broken the law." "Everyone's broken the law." "WILL (on computer):" "Our vision for King's Cross, for the public spaces of King's Cross, starts with the premise that we acknowledge an urban landscape is a built landscape." "It starts as an argument with society's phony love affair with nature." "We are against the mistaking of grass for nature, of green for nature." "King's Cross is an area of North London associated with poverty, crime, vice and urban decay." "Our job is to transform the landscape, not decorate it with green... because how we feel about ourselves, how we behave, is directly affected by the space around us." "How we design the outdoors of our city is as important as how we design the indoors." "We're gonna take the canal, and use it like calligraphy, like ink, to write around the development." "MAN:" "We think it's the cleaners." "WILL:" "What about the cleaners?" "Breaking in." "They don't even clean properly." "It's true." "They don't." "They never empty the dishwasher-- or load it, for that matter." "They bring their kids, their boyfriends." " Come on." " They do." "And to be honest, Will, it's getting a little traumatic." "I'm staying late at the office and worrying that the place is gonna be ransacked while I'm in it." "Look, they're cleaners and they're not clean." "WILL:" "Okay." "Good, thanks." "Thanks for the tea, thanks for the theory." "I'm sorry, but what does that mean?" "It means your boyfriend's been to the office, Ruby, and yours, Wei Ping, and yours, actually, Joe, so where do the rules say we can have boyfriends, but the cleaners can't?" "Or kids." "And... explain this to me, please." "How the cleaners are getting up onto the roof then swinging through the roof line, and why they are, when they've already got the keys and codes?" "All right." "Hi." "I've just been trying to defend our cleaners." "Uh-huh." "Well, I've just spoken to the alarm company." "Whoever broke in used the cleaners' code." "WILL:" "What do we actually do if we see a burglar?" "Call the police?" "Kill them?" "SANDY:" "There's a weird ecology, of course, to these break-ins." "The new computers, they're upgrades, you know, they're new models." "You could argue that... a break-in every, oh, say, six months, it's good business, isn't it?" "Just not every six days." "I wish they would steal this car, for instance." "42,000 miles." "I've got the criminal mind." "Lots of wanting to be bad." "See an ass, want to bite it." "(chuckles)" "I just never do." "Good." "Good." "What you've done, there is you strayed from the moral to the criminal, and you crossed the moral-criminal divide." "Wanting to bite an ass is a moral issue, and then only if the ass belongs to someone who objects to the idea." "Criminal would be biting the ass without permission." "You're such a lawyer." "Yeah." "Anyway, then what?" "Then what, what?" "You bite the ass, then what?" "Well, then... they bite yours." "Is the theory." "It's so long since I've bitten or been bit..." "It's good to talk about that." "Mm." "The problem is, you find out we're all so miserable." "Hello, hello." "He doesn't look happy." "Do you recognize him?" "Uh... no." "I don't know." "God, I wish I could lip-read." "Hang on." "I think I can." ""I don't like you anymore." ""I like Sandy." ""He's everything I want in a man." ""And stop burgling his bloody office."" "(knocking)" "God." "(both laughing)" "Hello." "Got a light?" "We don't smoke." "Sorry." "But there is the car lighter." "All right." "So is it?" "'Course it is." "I don't believe it." "Okay." "I've got nothing on under my coat." "Well, this, this might warm you up." "Christ." "Oh, God." "Okay?" "Have a good night." "Christ." "Can I get inside?" "It's cold." "Sorry." "Come on, this is a car." "It's not a community cent..." "Jesus Christ." "Hey." "Come on." "(chuckling)" " Um..." " So what are" " you guys looking for?" " Huh?" "Oh, fuck." "Fuck." "Are you spying on us?" " No." " Not at all." " Who's this?" " It's insulting." " No, we're..." " Seriously, we've been..." "Did you not trust us." "This your girlfriend?" "No, she's not my girlfriend." "Trust-- if you have to say it, it means there is none." "Use a condom." "That's my answer to trust." "Sure, I trust you-- use a condom." "One minute you're nice to me, the next you're spying on me." "No, Erika." "Erika, listen." "Erika." "Uh-oh." "Please, please, can you just listen?" "Please." "50 pounds, whatever you want." "What's your name?" "Except talk." "What if I want to talk?" "Call the Samaritans." "Oh, please." "You know, I don't have time for this." "WOMAN:" "Humans." "Chat, chat, chat, chat, chat." "We talk." "Why?" "I don't know." "Animals don't talk, because they don't lie." "Erika!" "A ridiculous idea." "That was good?" "You really helped." "We should, uh..." "We need, we, we need to lock up." "You work here?" "Yeah." "Yes." "Bad place for an office." "What's your project about?" "I don't really know." "A place I'd like to live in..." "or run through." "I would love to jump, you know..." "Chik, chik, chik..." "jump from... building to building." "Chika-chik, chik." "(sighs)" "This is amazing." "But what?" "No buts." "Is that amazing?" "Yeah." "But dangerous." "Oh." "(laughing)" "No buts." "You see the city?" "What is it like?" "Better." "Did my dad just not want to come with us?" "Uh..." "He, um..." "He loved you, but, uh, he was engineer." "He was needed." "Every bridge was blown up." "So..." "Anyway, it's more complicated." "No story from Sarajevo is simple." "No!" "No!" "I don't want to." "(indistinct shouting)" "No!" "No!" "(engine starts)" "WILL:" "There's no bread." "No bread, no butter, no flour, no dairy." "Nor last night." "You didn't notice." "I did." "Hmm." "We're trying a diet." "How's the chicken?" "Chicken's good." "Good." "Ice cream is dairy." "Ice cream is dairy," "That's right." "Sweetie, try the chicken." "WILL:" "Try the chicken first." "LIV:" "This is a diet just for you." "Bea, put those things back, now." "Have some chicken." "Rosemary suggested we try this." " Where is it?" " Remember her?" " Where is it?" " Therapist Rosemary." "What have you done with the ice cream?" "There's amazing stuff about the affect of food on mood, on the brain." "Rosemary." "I chose it!" "She said that?" "Wow." "It's not fair!" "Every time I say something in this house, it gets repeated back as a question." "You know I like ice cream!" "If I say "good morning," people ask me what makes me think it's a good morning." " What?" " No ice cream!" "I'm trying to hold this family together, Will." "There's no ice cream, Mama." "Who are "people"?" "Who are these mysterious people?" "I feel a fool with my sun box, I do, but it's the only sun you can rely on in this house." " I want the ice cream!" " No, Liv..." "Hey, Liv, come on." " What are you talking about?" " Why have you taken it away?" "!" "I wanted a slice of bread." "You know what?" "Really?" "Can we, can we just try this?" "Can we try this as a family, please?" "Just as a family for a week?" "Don't say try together if we don't decide together." "Well, don't take a side together, if we don't cook together or talk together or do anything together." " It's not fair!" " We don't do anything together." " There we are." " Exercise..." " Exercise..." " "There we are" what?" " Stop that." " Exercise." "Exercise..." "You don't even hear it, Will." " You don't even hear it." " Exercise, exercise..." "Eat your chicken first!" " No!" " Stop yelling." "Chicken?" "I'm a vegetarian." " Don't you yell at me." " You don't eat vegetables." " It's disgusting!" " You don't eat vegetables." " Disgusting!" "Disgusting!" " Will you stop?" "(all shouting)" "No, it's disgusting!" "No, leave me alone!"

"No, just let the shutter come down!" "Anyway..." "I really have to get back to the office." "Bea, my car keys." "Where's the battery?" "Bea." "Hey, I need the battery." "We're human." "Don't punish us." "We get fed up." "Fed up." "Is that about the diet?" "No." "It means upset." "I don't know why." "It's a metaphor, remember?" "We spoke about those." ""Cried your eyes out" doesn't mean your eyeballs fall out." "Metaphors. "Fed up."" "It's nothing to do with food." "Where's my battery, Bea?" " It's in my box." " Where's your box?" "It's my box." "You can't go in my box." " Well, you go get the battery." " Bea." "It's all right." "We're working it out." "Bea, go and get Will's battery." ""Will's battery"?" "Can you explain to me why you suddenly need to go to the office?" " You know why." " You're not the police." "No, and the police are not night watchmen." "Nor are you." "Most wives would worry if their husbands went cruising in King's Cross" " every night." " Come on." "Hire a security company, Will." "Most wives are married to their husbands, as we're being so accurate tonight." "Dads, wives, Will's battery." "Thanks for that." "I don't see the real father around much." "I love your sun box, whatever the fuck it's supposed to do." "I keep hoping it'll warm you up." "Skinny cup, extra shot, right?" "Right." "Thanks." "Oh." "I brought a CD." "I've got some CDs." "No." "For dancing." "I like to dance." "In cars?" "Inside, outside, upside down." "I can dance on your lap, but it's not" " for free." " Absolutely." "I still make you come, but not inside me."

"He hates his name, but was a name for Sarajevo, not for London." "Now his name's Miro." "But I think he should love his name." "You know, names in my country, they're like flags." "You can live or die because of your name." "Mirsad-- it's a Muslim name." "It should be Serbian because of his father, but, you know, I can be stubborn sometimes." "You what?" "Stubborn sometimes." "But that name saved his life." "When we, when we were getting out of Sarajevo, we came out with Red Cross, leaving the siege." "The guards, the Serbs, stopped us at one of the checkpoints, and they took him, they took my son, and they said what's your name?" "And he said, "Mirsad, my name is Mirsad," his Muslim name." "Well, if he told his family name, the Serbian name, "Simic,"" "they might have taken him as a son of a traitor." "Anyway, since then, I don't think he's ever really..." "He-he gets in trouble." "That's another story." "I can't talk about siege in supermarket, sorry." "We had a break-in." "Several, actually, in our office." "Something gets smashed," "I mean, I mean, not just the windows." "But not all breaking's bad, is it, you know?" "I mean, you break habits." "Maybe, maybe before you repair the window, you should smash a few more." "That's all I do, you see, in my job, I tidy up." "There's a mess between buildings, and we come in." "Squeeze in bits of green, like dressing." "Like lipstick, like pretty." "Anyway, that's a roundabout way of saying... the shape of your mouth," "I could probably draw it by heart." "What are you thinking?" "I was thinking, uh, that was a roundabout way of saying you're married, which I know, and I was thinking" "Bosnian men would say less, but, uh... would want more." "They love to talk, they love talk, believe me, but, uh, talk for them is politics, women for them is not talk." "That's crushing." "(laughs)" "I didn't mean it bad."

"ERIN:" "You know he's a Bosnian boy, and his mom, well, well, they're refugees, and his mom's, his mom's in pieces." "BRUNO:" "Mr. Francis, what do you think?" "You've been very quiet." "I just, I want to draw a line under the whole thing." "(screams)" "Bea!" "WOMAN:" "Somebody call an ambulance!" "WEI PING:" "I'm so sorry!" "I am so sorry!" "All right, don't move." "It's gonna be all right." "I'm here, I'm here." "(sobbing):" "I'm so sorry." "Hi, sweetie." "My fibula's broken, two places." "Ouch." "And they have to put wires in to fix it." "Oh." "The doctor said, she said what?" "She said that I'd be up and climbing again in no time." "Hmm." "We've got an X-ray if you want to see." "Definitely." "BEA:" "Sorry." "Oh, sweetie, don't be sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorriest." " Daddy cried." " I did not." "I laughed on the wrong side of my face." " Is it hurting?" " It did." "We had painkillers." "Bea had two, daddy had four." "You did not." "So, listen, Mommy's going to stay, okay?" "And I brought everything." "I brought Stuffy." "This hospital's very peculiar." "They don't understand color, do they?" "Tried to put us in a yellow room." "I need to speak to Mommy." "Mommy's here." "I need to speak to Mommy by myself." "Will?" "Okay." "(computerized voice on phone):" "You have four new messages." "Hello, Will, it's Amira." "I need to see you." "Uh, call me." "Thank you." "Hello, Will, it's Amira." "Uh..." "I'm sorry." "First of all, I want to give you this, which are the pictures." "I wish, I wish they hadn't caught him." "I wish I hadn't hurt you." "Truly." "Then help me." "Help him." "I can't." "This meeting with Miro and police, if you came, it would..." "I really can't." "He'll go to prison." "He's agreed, Miro." "If you help him, he'll come back with me to Sarajevo." "He won't say anything in court except he's sorry," "I promise you." "You're a good person;" "I know you." " Don't do that." "Don't do that." " Please." " Don't do that." " Please." "Amira, I can't, I can't do what you want." "How can I?" "If I meet your son, it will come out that I know you, how I know you." "Please, help me." "I can't help you." "I can't help you." "I can't." "I'm sorry." "Please!" "Please!" "Listen, I really tried to get him out of trouble." "They've got too much evidence." "(sobbing)" "Come on." "I can't." "Please, please, please, I'm begging you." "I can't." " I beg you." "I beg you." " Amira, please." "I beg you!" "I beg you!" "Please, please help." "I can't." "I can't." "(cries)" "##" "I was determined not to blame you." "And I know it wasn't your fault, I know it wasn't this afternoon." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "No, it's me who should be saying sorry." "I've been looking for love... out there." "I thought I might have found it." "And did you?" "I think I might have lost the love I did have." "The love of my life." "Did I?" "Liv, I need to tell you everything." "I need to tell you what I've done." "##" "I thought you were going." "I can't go." "I slept with her." "It was hard enough to tell you that last night." "That was bad enough without saying it in public, without hurting you twice." "When you hurt this much, you can't be hurt twice." "I was looking at you... and I was thinking how long since I'd looked at you." "I don't even know how to be honest." "Maybe that's why I like metaphors." "Because what I want to say is there's a circle-- yours and Bea's-- and I'm not in it." "But that's just to justify it, because there's a part of me so dark, that sees that circle as a cage." "Thanks." "Will." "You made it." "(indistinct chatter)" "WOMAN:" "Come in and sit down." "I'm sorry, there, um... th-this is, there's been a big mistake." " Mistake?" " Yeah, um..." "Yeah." "This boy is definitely not the burglar." "I know him, and I know his..." "I know his mother." "MAN:" "What do you mean you know them?" "They came to our office." "They came to the office." "Well, how can that be?" "You were told their names, yet you never said you recognized them." "I don't remember you saying the name "Simic."" "You definitely didn't say "Simic."" "Miro and I know each other." "Actually, very well." "Um, Miro is, um, interested in architecture." "Mrs. Simic?" "He is, yes." "No, I'm asking is it true that you and Mr..." "Um, Francis." "Francis-- know each other?" "Mr. Francis is, um, I've done some work for him, adjusting his suit." "I think this Mrs." " Mrs., um," "Amira is being... discreet." "What do you mean, discreet?" "Amira is being discreet about the nature of our relationship, which was not an appropriate one, and I think she's trying to save me from embarrassment, from the embarrassment of myself and my family." "And that's why she, um, that's why she's not saying sh-she came to the office with Miro." "I remember it, though; it was the day of the last burglary." "(clears throat)" "And Miro cut his hand, and that's obviously where the, uh, well, that's where the DNA confusion occurred." "Mr. Hoffman?" "Mr. Hoffman, do you know anything about this?" "No." "No, I can't say I do." "Is this some sort of" "I mean, are we supposed to believe this?" "Actually, I've met both of them at the office." "Yes." "And I-I dressed the boy's cut, didn't I?" "WILL (softly):" "Yeah." "MAN:" "Wai-- hang on a minute." "We recalled a computer, which you claimed had been stolen." "Yeah, I lent" "(clears throat):" "I lent Mrs. Simic my laptop sometime when we were, um, together." "She takes photographs, and I was showing her how to store them, um, what to do with them, how to delete them." "I'd completely forgotten;" "I was, um... (sighs)" "I was confused." "I'm sorry." "Really sorry." "##" "##" "What you did back there, you gave that boy back his life." "Stop the car." "What?" "Liv, what are you doing?" "You just don't get it, do you?" " What?" " Oh, God." "We just go home, right?" "We just go home, nothing happened, nothing happened." " (horn honking)" " Liv?" " Go, go to Bosnia, go!" " I can't hear you." "Get back in the car, Liv." "Just go, go." "(horn honking)" "Why were you looking for love?" "Ask yourself." "Why?" "Why weren't you looking for me?" "Liv, get back in the car." "No." "I don't want you in the house!" "I don't want you in the house!" "God!" "God, you drive me out." "You marry me then!" "No, I don't want a husband!" "I want a good night's sleep." "No." "Marry me." " No." " Marry me." " I'm sorry." " No!" "I want you back." " Then win me back." " How?" "I don't know." "How?" "What will I do?" "What do I do?" " I don't know!" " I've been such an idiot." "Just tell me what I have to do." "I don't know!" "Look, I love you." "I love you." "Oh, God, I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry." "Mirsad." "We never met, did we;" "I'm Will." "Hi." "So you're off to Sarajevo?" "You wanted to say something, right?" "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry." " And..." " Wait." "Sandy, have you got a minute?" "I just wanted to say that I was sorry and thanks for what you did." "You've given me another chance." "Okay, thanks for coming in." "Thank you." "This, I think, is the stuff my mom mended for you." "Tell her... tell her thanks for mending stuff for me." "WILL:" "I thought maybe your mother would come with you." "Yeah, she was going to, but she's packing." "Is she?" "Thank you." "(chatting softly)" "(chatting indistinctly)" "What is this?"
