we have entrusted our dilaudid Richard

to God's merciful keeping and we now

commit his body to the ground to earth

ashes to ashes dust to dust sure and

certain hope of the Resurrection to

eternal life through our Lord Jesus

Christ who died was buried and rose

again for us to him be glory for ever

and ever

I haven't seen each other in years awful

for them what a place to have to meet

you take them back knowing body school

everyone's perpetually hungry true thank

God you don't turn row your place do you

what

but do we all pull together you mean

well no we will pull separately anyway

so this is where everybody is it is not

your mother's yeah well I shall call you

billion if you're not careful Petey you

might make some wrong I was

I'm sorry to hear about your husband

Egon heard was when I blew nothing like

this when any has winsome yeah

how do you mean one fair has eyes

antique business simply can't find stuck

it's ridiculous only mrs. Jenkins is

coming over didn't know anything this is

rather nice table you found that plane

I'm not selling I don't hit married you

were costing a professional glance mrs.

Sarah I know it why don't you sit down

and I'll get you a stiff drink

I hate stiff drinks even when are you by

any chance going back to phone him from

here yes I ma'am

could you possibly give bill a lift he

ought to be back

who let him stay a few Darian he offered

but he sped off with his friends he

can't do any good here

what you mustn't do is get in the habit

of being alone just at the moment I'm

rather looking forward to it it occurred

to me you might feel like coming to work

in the office Peter I'm not good at

beauty oh you've been wonderful to their

feet and yesterday thank you so much

Peter I'm sorry what's going on between

you and Margaret well I did indicate to

rich that mag and I weren't really well

together much anymore she's got this

chap

the Italians know

ah well the upshot is mag and I aren't

actually living in together anymore it's

all perfectly al makeable of course we

decided that it would probably be better

all-round if we gave the thing a go

separately for the time being so um

anyway that's how the cookies crumbled

as they say are you sure you'll be all

right will you really be all right of

Comus as the doctor given you anything

I've done why I still feel I ought to

stay I promise you I'll be here tomorrow

morning I have to be mr. Jenkins has

lost her keys oh come on Charlotte take

me home that I ring you when I get back

tonight on

Oh

she must have lent Richardson books no I

wasn't aware however I'm sure the ever

efficient miss Beale will have sent our

national insurance card on yes

course we must have an address somewhere

in this shambles

we've all ordered the books with you

know because we got them parceled up and

dim and bash them off for you I'll bash

them off for myself

yes people gather knowing have East

County there we are

thanks to a Sherlockian she's going to

work for her good heavens Gideon kitty

virtually around the corner

oh my gosh that deadmau5

series I think I lent it to my husband

I'm sorry rich

Oh

so we'll rhythm went

I'm sorry all the Sami aware man

when it happened well there's no sense

in pretending who's pretending

did you often cool places with not often

once or twice

I wonder if you could explain something

to me

miss James what mrs. Morris something

that's been puzzling me what's that how

could you just go and leave him

when it happened how could you manage to

do things

now I'll ask you something don't you

think you owe me an answer first of all

the things I might have done do you

really think leaving him was the easiest

all I want to know

he had a heart attack

exactly what happened

he was in a lot of pain I called down

they sent an ambulance you call for an

ambulance yourself or they were tildes I

asked for a doctor they said an

ambulance was better they sent an

ambulance what did you do mean one

I was with Richard what did I do I was

with him it was conscious barry of you

he was afraid you'd have to be told

you'd find out that's why

it doesn't matter now

it matters to me

one day a might find out just how much

they'll hope you don't

here we are happy

they wear

miss Davis codeine have another pork I

want to apologize fry what did I do now

how do I give you a look thanks but this

is where I live do you want to come in

I'm upstairs often follow people I have

him - come on what do you want I told

you to apologize

I'm beginning to understand why he was

so afraid for instance I'm afraid I

never saw a man in pain like that well

he was afraid of with you finding out he

begged me to leave

that's why I went he begged me what to

show you something how did you get back

to London hitched why if you drove the

car to the hospital

I had this this idea that perhaps it was

nothing I'm true gran indigestion I

thought I might be able to take him home

back to the hotel of course once I got

to the hospital then I was told didn't

think that the car back could drive I

drove it there I felt my test three

times no license no insurance he must

have known something was going on

wife's generally doesn't yes

I don't suppose it was exactly the first

time was it

this is my house this is where we lived

this was our place have a good look at

it now this is where we spend our lives

14 years of it anyway

Richard and I together look at it will

you

very nice they loved each other don't

you dare try and destroy that hatred

lies it hurts him to tell them he was

always saying so oh I expect you're

quite used to them when did I tell lies

you hate me don't you

I did what I could

I really did

I loved him

so there we are okay thank you so much

really you know you don't have to

pretend I've done anything anyone else

couldn't have done I quite realize it

isn't exactly stretching your talents

but it's nevertheless a big help promise

you even if you can only give us a

couple of days a week we'll see okay

i am i gather you saw mag she seems in

very good spirits well we're trying to

be civilized about it

these things happen after all nobody

deliberately sets out to hurt anybody do

they mr. president yeah okay could we

possibly have dinner sometime

and they really chew the fat you know

what I mean have a proper talk men dream

about being bachelors again but believe

me there's no lot of guilt on that

particular gingerbread and how about

tomorrow or Friday Friday Friday I'm to

sail pretty one my mother-in-law but I

think I'll bill away because I did I'd

really like that

it's about your job job the one you were

doing before and Morrison Whitman well

he hasn't he

I'm sure you enjoyed it more than the

one you're doing now as a job I mean

much

what a nice shape yeah especially if you

happen to be triangular it could really

lose you

I spoke to Peter about it I'm sure he'd

be alone I couldn't possibly go back

with you oh but Hall is called he asked

particularly about you

he hoped you were still about called you

by a funny name

Georgia you obviously made an impression

sure

it's like um

sure

seems such a pity to waste yourself it's

up to you

forgive me for asking how did you make

this tea why isn't it any good

oh my goodness the tea forgot to put the

tea in the teeth did seem quite weak I'm

Nana it's not that I don't myself

I was gonna have coffee

have you had any Soviet I made something

for both of us how about an omelet

I make good omelets everybody does I'll

try and remember to put the eggs in I'd

like how long has it been going off what

Oh depends on what you mean by it

they ever come here once or twice

maybe three times why never happened

before not in 20 years I'll make some

coffee

I'm trying to better than I did with the

tea don't you did he call you that among

other people yes it will my father

started it do you come from land Bristol

I've never been to wisdom we did go to

the cheddar gorge once on a holiday we

live in the caravan didn't you

he told you that did it

you came up you like camping it's quite

fun except that

they had a very good time except that

you can't screw very easily in a caravan

right not with all of you but with four

of us anyway

I could've had a rosier I suppose you

weren't quite that down to earth I'm

afraid I'm probably very school here I

wanted to kill you

I can't say I blame you honestly

only I never meant to be a threat you

know to human him he and I

it was just it's one of those things oh

I'm sure it happens all the time

it just doesn't happen to me all the

time not that I knew I don't think I

know anything about me I don't know that

I want don't despise him I loved

that's always a mistake don't you think

now I think it's lovely despising

people's a bit too easy

don't you think I despise myself most of

all

I do that when you've cut me

told you do you seriously believe that

you made anything to reach it he was a

middle-aged man and you were simply

younger yes

when you word are you

like I'm nobody I mean you read a lot I

used to read a lot

once the book the little shit is that

one of your favorites especially it was

let me buy someone here in the house

dick picked it up and still you mind he

took it you liked it I think sometimes I

hate you shouldn't

did you ever try to describe somebody

without looking at them whatever the

photograph just out of your own mind

your memory I keep trying I sit and I

think if I only describe them fully

enough I'll be able to bring him back

again really you can't describe anything

isn't that the truth

almost become my dilemma please don't

what he stunned us hmm both of us stayin

hate me

stay and do anything all right do you

have someone else someone else I wanted

to kill you I wanted to kill you so much

it it saw me through the whole horrible

thing the funeral I don't know what I've

done without him I was almost glad you

existed

don't worry he loved you

after all I ought to know

you don't know anything yes I do

lie about it me and Richard

if I don't who does

Oh oh man don't you feel sorry for them

did he make you happy you know yes and I

did him

I feel sorry for them because when they

make a woman happy they are necessarily

happy themselves it cuts them off never

talk to you about it to do

marriage makes you careful things might

be remembered

with me it wasn't worried

I'm not sure if you've been kind with

your being very cool

do you still want to kill me

you don't know D

because then I wouldn't be around a hate

would I I wouldn't be around to keep him

alive that's what we want from each

other cared isn't it to keep him alive a

little longer you and me

after all

what would we be on our own you know

which it's things you make me feel alive

the only thing that does don't I you

know you're such a liar

please don't keep saying that it keeps

being true I think I better go before

people what being kind being cruel was a

difference go home what will you do

you'll think about him

you think about me

please stay

I like looking at you

don't rely looking at me

that's the moment I love

don't you

to map

but in the words run out

when the word

and you know what's kind of

[Music]

the killer

I still eat

[Music]

don't you Joe Joe Joe chills

I'm school Hey

it said I want to go home before anyone

wakes up I am alright yes

are you I'm lovely I hate sleeping alone

don't you I don't understand anything

it's not so surprising what happened

I couldn't be flowers

sorry when you sent for the funeral

I cut them up into pieces

very passionate on you

are we going to do

don't worry there's only you and me

there's no one to help us give us advice

tell us what to do so

lisa is that to be said for it isn't

there hello in the boss I like it

is something wrong thoughtful of you are

we going oh we're not

good morning mrs. Jenkins I'll be ready

and waiting how are you miss tinker I

still got the knee I'm afraid I've

already done the bed so what if you

start in the kitchen I think could you

look my period really sees little puss

opponent feels the game do it again you

met my daughter-in-law hello grounded

pleased to make your acquaintance you

coming to bed obviously next week I am

if you are

what about a bite of lunch before the

battle why won't you ever too crafty too

impatient and too hard working well

goodbye I'll give you a ring about that

lunch eh he seems to like you like to

find I think I still like a fight just

as much as petty girls but I was never

any good at love I do miss it a bit some

people wonder why one bothers and what

does it matter if somebody gets

something that you want this I persuade

you to purple a bit for lesson you'd

have yeah I daresay we should all live

in a better world than we do but we

don't do it look at the moment and the

moments all we have you already go in

mother I'd sooner go in with you I'll

drink to that

and then see what we're doing here

instant burning wood oh that classy

people they let one do a job I can see

they've got double sink double oven

double double

I'm surprised they haven't got double

lose quite frankly because I can sell

these days without exactly having to

pressure anybody I can you imagine happy

you don't want to do it what a lot of

what will people say darling it's very

interesting

it isn't local party political broadcast

on behalf of total team here we're not

really talking about anything we want to

talk about it's an eyesore know that

it's very nicely room for improvement

okay okay something I want to say and it

isn't something sudden okay I'm not

being some kind of cheap opportunist

I've loved you for a hell of a long time

ptooey that's me for a change

Peter really I don't think I don't feel

a bit of a coward talking to you like

this

so soon after what happened but there it

is it happened I would have had it

happen for the world and if it hadn't

happened I would've stood the chance in

hell I know all that on the other hand

she's probably the most sickening humbug

I sort of believed that if you and I

were to hit it off

rich would sort of be a part of it do

you know what I mean

yeah

I suppose I should have waited

and I feel as I have waited

it's Toby Cartwright I've seen in weeks

and another Lisa funny who's she I know

it's nice though

are you totally bored I'm enjoying

myself well cheer up then

[Music]

play with who make them love for people

to make them cause I've chosen it did he

talk about me often too often yeah she

does

you know quilt happens you know it's

nobody's fault

and so one of those things that hurt

a little first Richard first and last is

not shameful I bet you had a dozen

yes

if you found out before what would you

have done I would have soaked to go I

don't think how happy we could have been

the three of us I doubt it

I mean I the idea of two women

today I'm gonna talk about these things

you need

feel I don't feel perhaps I shall still

be hell

having with myself like people do

calling it the contentment or

independence maybe even happiness if

what people believe me to pay and from

not quite payment I will never be

suspected of being other than I appear
