00:00I'll be with you in a minute.
00:30Well, that works.
00:46There's definitely no way out of this without a key.
00:49Believe me, I'll just try.
01:00Packed and ready to go.
01:02Bit of forward planning.
01:04Yes, me, oh, you'd be amazed.
01:08Hang on.
01:09Let me get out of this.
01:22Oh, jeez.
01:23Isabel.
01:30Oh, I know, I know.
01:42Typical Morris.
01:45Just wait.
01:46This is a night for surprises.
01:58This is my big night.
02:00What are you doing?
02:01Don't tell me.
02:02It never paid to inquire.
02:20This is for you, Cherie, from Morris.
02:24Morris, the bloke you walked out on.
02:26You remember Morris, your husband?
02:29You sometimes used to pass him on your way out.
02:31A tall bloke.
02:33Often attached to a dog.
02:37I'm looking at you, Cherie.
02:39Your picture's still on the mantelpiece.
02:41I never took it down.
02:42Of course, I had to cover it when Isabel was here.
02:47You remember Isabel?
02:49Lives across the, um...
02:51She's been a big comfort to me, yes.
02:54Sort of, despite not being all that, how can I say, streamlined.
03:00Take a bit of buffeting in a wind tunnel with Isabel.
03:03Bakes like a bandit, though.
03:05Do you know, I've put on nearly a stone.
03:06I will not gain weight in kilos.
03:11You, I've no doubt, will still be killer thin.
03:16You left a few knickers here, did you know that?
03:18I sometimes look at them, hmm?
03:21They're so tiny.
03:24They seem so defenseless.
03:27Were they premature?
03:29They pluck at your heart so.
03:33I'd love to adopt them.
03:35Now, Isabel's are made of sterner stuff.
03:39Unknown caller.
03:57One of those.
04:01Hello?
04:03Yes, you can speak to the property owner.
04:06Would you hold while I fetch him?
04:09Hello, yes?
04:33Yes, I am.
04:35A government grant.
04:37From me?
04:39Oh, I had no idea they knew I existed.
04:43Will they be sending a check?
04:46Ah, on completion of certain works.
04:49Well, I had no idea I was in need of certain works.
04:54Tell me, by what strange alchemy are you aware I'm in need of certain works?
05:02Oh, you can insulate me thoroughly for a fraction of the normal cost.
05:08Oh, you little dick, uninvited, lurking in my ear.
05:12I've got news for you.
05:13I've got news for you.
05:14You are trespassing on the cochlea of a dead man.
05:17I'm off very shortly to the river, secured to a suitcase full of bricks, entirely, may I add, without a government grant.
05:24Can you understand that feather bedding my loft is not a full balls-on priority?
05:30Oh, poor bloke, I shouldn't have been so horrible to him.
05:39He's got that awful job.
05:41He's probably supporting some ageing father.
05:45A former war hero, who's about to lose his leg through type 2 diabetes.
05:52Above the knee.
06:02It's going to be a wet night, Max.
06:04This is one walk you'll not be sorry to miss.
06:08Oh, I should be gone with a clean mind, not snarling at people over telephones.
06:13Even if the dicks do deserve it.
06:16Oh, listen to me, temper.
06:18I'm a fountain of nastiness.
06:20Morris Roebuck, a creature of darkness.
06:24A fine steak to be in to meet your maker.
06:29Not only a load of bricks, I'm now counting some poor old diabetics' lost leg on my conscience.
06:36Above the knee.
06:39Do you think we do meet our maker?
06:42Why, come on, you're in a position to know.
06:44Are we held accountable over there?
06:46What's the word in doggy heaven?
06:48Did they get you for nicking that leg of lamb?
06:52I wish you were here to nick another now.
06:55I wouldn't be doing this if you were still around.
06:57You were the last straw.
07:01And you were the major contributor to my erectile dysfunction.
07:05Oh, it worked all right with Isabel, under conditions of minimal excitement.
07:09Well, it was either that or she was going to show me her thimble collection.
07:14Oh, but you.
07:16You, I would approach with awe and wonderment.
07:20I could taste you through walls.
07:24You could be in the next room and I could feel you.
07:27Next door to you, I promise.
07:28And I was always ready.
07:31You were married to Morris the Magnificent.
07:33It was only up close you used to squander my advantages.
07:38Once, when I was looking for some sign that you might be approaching orgasm,
07:43I recalled you saying to me,
07:45Morris, why aren't you more interested in cars?
07:49And I'm thinking, right now?
07:52Ah, but what you meant was,
07:54why aren't we changing up into something in leather with heated seats
07:57and probably a toilet and a wash basin?
08:01I never felt comfortable inside you after that.
08:03Oh, it felt like my visitor's pass had expired.
08:07I was trespassing.
08:08Only there, because nobody noticed.
08:11It fell short, Sherry, from that alleged moment when the earth moves.
08:16So why do I miss you?
08:19Oh, I've known love, but not with us.
08:22I mean, with Max.
08:23You and I never got close.
08:26So, have you found it where you've gone?
08:29You can't shop your way to it.
08:31Oh, um, I'm leaving the house to the dogs' home.
08:35That's not spite.
08:37You went for deeper pockets.
08:39And they need it more than you do.
08:42You took your stuff,
08:43and there's nothing here that you showed any interest in.
08:46When you get this, I'll be dead.
08:58All the way.
09:02And that's not because I wear boxer shorts.
09:04Would it have made any difference
09:06if I'd have been prepared to squeeze my genitals
09:08into something that looks like a false nose?
09:10Oh, dead, Sherry.
09:13No longer dull old Morris.
09:15Dead Morris.
09:16Sinister.
09:17Shades of Edgar Allan Poe.
09:20Oh!
09:21Oh!
09:23That could be me perched on the wires next time you go out.
09:27Oh!
09:29Stand by for little taps on your bedroom window.
09:33Oh!
09:34We don't know, do we?
09:40What comes after?
09:42Nobody knows.
09:43But I'm giving it a go.
09:45I mean, will there be a...
09:47Hello, Morris?
09:49It's unlikely.
09:50But we don't know.
09:52Not for sure.
09:53Is there anyone there?
09:55It's like your telephone these days.
09:58Supposing God's a recorded voice.
10:01In order that he can help you,
10:03will you please choose one of the following five options?
10:07Hmm?
10:21Oh!
10:23I hate it when it does that.
10:25Ah, dear.
10:26PHONE RINGS
10:27Hello?
10:30Isabel?
10:30Did...
10:31Did you just ring?
10:34Now?
10:35Not a minute since.
10:36Was that you?
10:38Oh.
10:39Well, I wonder who it was.
10:42No, I'm not expecting any calls.
10:44That's why I was wondering who it was.
10:48But why should it be some woman?
10:52Well, you were here at tea time.
10:53Do you think between now and then I've found time to find some woman?
10:59I've had one call offering me loft insulation.
11:03And I was hoping it was him again telling me his father's legs better.
11:06Never mind.
11:09What can I do for you, Isabel?
11:13What do you mean I've done enough?
11:14It's you that's always bringing the cakes.
11:17Yeah?
11:17No, no, no, I'm not sitting down.
11:22Why should I sit down, Isabel?
11:24How long are you planning this call to be?
11:28As a matter of fact, I do have something to do.
11:30It's important.
11:31It's personal.
11:32And it couldn't be more important.
11:34Not that kind of personal.
11:38Isabel, why are you weeping?
11:40It's not even Tuesday.
11:43But you do.
11:44You always weep on a Tuesday.
11:49I didn't like to ask.
11:50It's none of my business.
11:53It is my business.
11:54How come it's my business?
11:56No, I'm not sitting down.
11:59Just tell me.
12:03Hang on.
12:06I'm sitting down.
12:13Pregnant.
12:17No, no, no, I'm still here.
12:19Don't panic.
12:20Don't panic.
12:21Let me do the panicking.
12:23Isabel, how can you be pregnant?
12:26Scrub that, I know how.
12:29But one time, weren't you on anything?
12:34I know it was the floor.
12:36I meant medication precautions.
12:40It's the honey trap.
12:41I've fallen for the honey trap.
12:44Isabel, are you absolutely sure?
12:46Cast iron sure.
12:50Am I happy?
12:51Do I sound happy?
12:52No, I'm not happy.
12:53Are you happy?
12:54Isabel, you've no right to be happy.
12:59Do?
13:00What do you mean, do?
13:01I think I've done it, don't you?
13:03I need time to think about this.
13:05Will you call me back?
13:07No, no, not in five minutes.
13:09No, give me some time.
13:12When?
13:16Tomorrow.
13:17Yes, yes.
13:18No, first thing.
13:19Yes, no.
13:20As early as you like.
13:21Cherie, I've got to go.
13:32Something's just come up.
13:33Call it a further motivator.
13:35The place is tidy.
13:37All the paperwork is in my desk drawer.
13:39I still think you shouldn't have had the tattoo,
13:40but that's my opinion,
13:42and I hope things work out for you.
13:43I'll show you a bit of time.
14:04Oh, Max.
14:14One for the river.
14:19Come on, Max.
14:21Walkies.
14:21I know you're in there.
14:31Shh.
14:32No, shh, Isabel, Isabel, Isabel.
14:34Be quiet.
14:36They'll be complaining next door.
14:37I don't care.
14:38Do you think I care when you're trying to abandon me?
14:41Keep your voice down.
14:43Look, it's not really what you think.
14:45Is that a suitcase?
14:47Oh, you swine.
14:50It's not what you think.
14:53You brute.
14:55You leave me no choice.
14:57I shall go and end it all.
14:59No, don't be stupid.
15:01Too late for that.
15:03I've been stupid.
15:05Goodbye, Morris.
15:07Isabel, wait.
15:09Jesus, why didn't I just look at her bloody symbols?
15:12Oh, Isabel, Isabel.
15:20Oh, isabel, isabel.
15:35It's a mess.
15:37Like that.
