00:00Everything all right?

00:10Who are you?

00:13Sorry?

00:14Who are you?

00:16What are you doing here?

00:19What are you doing in my flat?

00:23Anthony, it's me.

00:25Paul.

00:26Who?

00:26What are you doing here?

00:30I live here.

00:33You?

00:34Yes.

00:35You live here?

00:37Yes.

00:39You live here in my flat?

00:42That's the best yet.

00:44What is this nonsense?

00:46Huh?

00:49I'm going to phone Anne.

00:53Your daughter?

00:55Oh, yes, thank you.

00:56I know who Anne is.

00:58Do you know Anne?

00:59Are you a friend of hers?

01:01I'm speaking to you!

01:04Do you know Anne?

01:07I'm a husband.

01:10A husband?

01:11Yes.

01:14But since when?

01:15Uh, coming up for ten years?

01:21Ah, yes, yes.

01:23Of course, yes, yes.

01:25Obviously.

01:27Ten years already.

01:29But I thought, aren't you, uh, separated?

01:33Who?

01:34Anne and me?

01:35Yes, you aren't?

01:37No.

01:38Are you sure?

01:39Ah, yes, Anthony.

01:40But this thing about France, wasn't you supposed to be going to, uh, Paris to, wasn't you?

01:47Oh, hello, darling.

01:48Yes, it's me.

01:49No, it's just your father isn't feeling very well. I don't think he'd like to see you.

01:55Uh, fine. Don't be too long.

02:00Um, she's just doing some shopping. She'll be, uh, up in a minute.

02:06Oh, yeah.

02:07Uh, yeah, she told me, uh, the other day she told me she was going to go and live in Paris.

02:13She told me the other day.

02:14Paris?

02:14Yes.

02:15What was she going to do in Paris?

02:18Well, she met a Frenchman.

02:20Uh, I don't think so, Anthony.

02:22Yes, she did. She told me the other day, I'm not an idiot.

02:26She told me she was, uh, moving to go and, uh, live with him.

02:29And, uh, I even remember telling her it was a stupid idea because, you know, they don't even speak English.

02:35Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

02:39You don't know about this?

02:41No.

02:41Oops.

02:43What?

02:44Have I put my foot in it?

02:45Don't worry. She, uh, she hasn't mentioned it to me, but, uh, I'm sure she's intending to.

02:50She don't know about the Frenchman?

02:52No.

02:53Oopsie daisy.

02:54Ho, ho, ho.

02:56Ha, ha, ha, ha.

02:58Never mind, chin up.

03:00Ah, they all end up bleeding sooner or later.

03:03I speak from experience.

03:05Do you want something to drink while we're waiting?

03:08Glass of water? Fruit juice?

03:10No, it's just I was...

03:13No, it's just I was gonna say something.

03:20Yeah. No, it's because of that girl, that nurse.

03:23Laura?

03:24I've forgotten her name. That girl, your wife insisted on handing me over to the nurse.

03:27I mean, you know about this, as if I'm unable to manage on my own.

03:31She told me, your wife told me that I needed the help of this, even though I can manage perfectly well on my own,

03:38even if she does have to go abroad to Paris, your wife.

03:47See, I don't understand why she persists in...

03:52I mean, look at me. Just take a look at me.

03:56Paul.

03:57That's right, Paul. Take a good look at me.

04:00See, I can still manage on my own.

04:04Don't you think?

04:06I mean, I'm not completely...

04:11You agree? Of course you agree.

04:13But her...

04:17I don't know where this stupid obsession comes from.

04:20She's always been that way, ever since she was little thingy.

04:24She's not very bright.

04:27You know, she's not very, um...

04:30Not very intelligent.

04:32She gets that from her mother.

04:34I think she tries to do the best she can for you, Anthony.

04:37Oh, the best she can, the best she can.

04:40I never asked her for anything.

04:43I don't know what she's cooking up against me, but she's cooking something up.

04:47She's cooking something up. That I do know.

04:50See, I suspect she must have put me in her home for, um...

04:52Ah, yes, I've seen the signs.

04:59But let me be absolutely clear.

05:04I'm not leaving my flat!

05:07I am not leaving my flat!

05:12This isn't your flat, Anthony.

05:15Sorry?

05:16If you remember, you moved here.

05:18I mean, you moved to our place while you were waiting for...

05:21For what?

05:23For a new carer.

05:24Because you quarrelled with the last one, with Angela.

05:27Oh, did I?

05:29That's why you're staying in our place while you wait.

05:32So, James...

05:33Paul.

05:35Right, Paul.

05:37So you're telling me this is your place?

05:40Yes.

05:42Ah, now I've heard everything.

05:46It's me!

05:47Ah, there she is.

05:52What's happening?

05:53Oh, nothing much. Your father seemed a bit confused.

05:57Something wrong?

05:59Ah.

06:01What is this nonsense?

06:03What are you talking about?

06:07Oh.

06:08Where's Anne?

06:10Sorry?

06:12Anne, where is she?

06:13Where is she?

06:15I'm here.

06:17I...

06:18I just went down to do some shopping and I'm back now.

06:24Oh, I see.

06:30Hm.

06:32What did you buy?

06:34Chicken.

06:35Does that sound good? Are you hungry?

06:36Yes, why not?

06:39Here. Let me have it. I'll fix everything.

06:42Thanks.

06:47Put my pajamas back on again. Might as well save some time.

06:51I see what you mean.

06:53But...

06:55If you stay in your pajamas, we can't go out.

06:58Where do you want to go?

07:00Park.

07:01Oh, God.

07:02It's a nice day.

07:03Everything all right?

07:05Fine. We're just going to get dressed.

07:07But...

07:09Everything all right, Anthony?

07:12Something the matter?

07:14No, no.

07:16I just wanted to have a word with you, in fact.

07:19With me?

07:21Yes.

07:22In that case, I'll go pack up our things.

07:23No, don't go. Don't go.

07:24I'll be back.

07:25Don't leave me on my own, do you?

07:26I'll be in the next room. I'll be right back.

07:33Can I, uh...

07:35ask you a question?

07:41Yeah.

07:43But I want an honest answer, nothing fancy.

07:44Can you do that for me?

07:48Yeah.

07:50Well then,

07:52how much longer

07:53do you intend to hang around

07:56getting on everybody's tits?

07:59Oh, me?

08:00Yes, you.

08:01I'd like to know your opinion.

08:03I mean, do you intend to go on

08:05ruining your daughter's life

08:06or is it too much to hope

08:07you might behave reasonably

08:09in the foreseeable future?

08:11What are you talking about, Ed?

08:12About you, Anthony.

08:13Huh?

08:14About you.

08:15Your attitude.

08:16Stop that!

08:17I won't allow this.

08:18You won't allow it.

08:19No.

08:20Suppose I do it again.

08:21Then what will you do?

08:22I...

08:23Yeah?

08:24You'll have to take me on physically.

08:26You're saying that to tempt me?

08:28No.

08:29See, me as well.

08:30There's something I won't allow.

08:31No.

08:32Getting on everybody's tits

08:33past a certain age.

08:34No, no.

08:35Stop that.

08:36Stop that.

08:37Yeah.

08:38I wouldn't put up with that.

08:39I find that totally inappropriate.

08:41Stop it!

08:42Stop it!

08:43Stop it!

08:44Stop it!

08:45Stop it!

08:46Stop it!

08:47Stop it!

08:48Stop it!

08:49Dad, what's happened?

08:50What was the matter with him?

08:51Dad?

08:52The other day, she brought you some coffee

08:53because you like coffee.

08:54I detest coffee.

08:55I only drink tea.

08:56Anything all right?

08:57I detest coffee.

08:59I only drink tea.

09:03Anything all right?
