Can't Get My Fill

And Mr. Kennedy's

Looks

Give Me A Thrill

Holding Hands

In The Movie Show

When All

The Lights Are Low

May Not Be New

But I Like It

How About You?

[ ]

[ Rattling ]

Donkeys On

The Lawn. Sh*t!

That's It!

I Don't

Want To Go.

They're Trying

To Get Rid Of Us Before They Arrived.

Woman:

A Few Of The Residents

Are Just Leaving

On A Day Excursion

But, Um, Come On Through

To The Sitting Room.

We'll Get You

Comfortable,

And I Can Explain

All About Life Here At Woodlane.

I'm Not Going.

I Am Not Going.

Actually, She's

Just Trying To Get Rid Of Us.

Heather, Hazel...

She's Just Trying To Get Rid Of Us.

Let Me Tell You

Something About This Bloody Place.

Are You

Looking Forward To Your Day Out?

No!

I'm Not Going, And You Can't Make Me.

We're Not

Going, Anyway.

If She's Not Going,

I'm Not Going.

Do Those Two Hags

Never Stop Whining?

Shall We All Come

Through To The Fire,

And Settle

Down, Yes?

By The Way,

Someone Went Into My Room

And Left The

Toilet Seat Up

While I Was

At Breakfast.

Woman:

Hazel, Why Would Anyone Do Anything Like That?

So That People

Would Think I Had Men In.

Man:

[ Giggling ]

Men In Your Room.

That'll Be The Day.

Heather,

Wait For Me!

They Practically

Ran Out Of The Place.

Man:
[ On Speaker Phone ]

Oh No! You'll Have To Advertise Again.

You Do Realise That

In The Last Six Months,

You've Lost Two Nurses,

Six Carers,

And Three Residents

Because Those Four Obnoxious Old...

Two Residents.

Mrs. Holland Died Of

A Massive Heart Attack.

Yeah, Well I'm Sure

They Caused It.

Look, As

Your Accountant,

I've Said It Before

And I'll Say It Again,

Get Rid Of Them.

Got To Call You Back.

What's All This?

Well How About,

"Hi, Ellie, How's It Going?"

You Should

Have Rung. What...

Woman:

It Cost A Fortune To Send You To College.

Now You Want To

Work As A Skivvy?

A Hygiene

Technician.

And It's

Temporary.

It Won't Work.

It Never Works.

I Haven't Seen

You For What...

A Year? And

After 10 Minutes,

I Don't Think

I Want To See You For Another Year.

Oh, Come On, Kate.

It Looks Like

You Could Do With Some Help.

I Heard The Staff

Are Leaving Here

Quicker Than

The Residents.

Mum Told Me.

So, You Two Are

Speaking Again, Then?

Well, Not Really.

I Ring Home, She Talks

About You, Or Herself.

Mostly About You.

I Don't Figure

Largely In The Conversations.

It Would Be Good

For Both Of Us.

Ellie, You're Not

Doing This For Me.

So What's

Really Going On?

Some Friends Are

Planning This Round The World Trip,

And I Really Want

To Go With Them, Kate.

How Many Times Are

You Going To Go Around The World?

Look, I Figured If You

Just Paid Me In Cash...

I Suppose You Want

To Live Here As Well?

Well, You've

Plenty Of Room.

I Gave Up My Flat

So I Wouldn't Have To Waste Money On Rent.

It's The Only Way

I'd Have Enough Money To Go With Them

And I'm Trying To Get

Dan To Go With Me, Too.

You're Not Still Going

Out With Him, Are You?

Two Years Now,

Thank You Very Much.

I Just Don't Know

What You See In Him.

He Always Seems So

Bloody Miserable.

Not When He's

With Me, He's Not.

So, What Do

You Say?

Why Can't I Stay

At Your House?

If You Want

To Work Here,

You Have To Stay In

Staff Accommodation.

Ugh... Jesus, It's

Freezing In Here!

[ Grunt ]

You Don't Seriously

Expect Me To Wear This?

Mum Was Right.

His Eyes Are Too

Close Together.

She Said The Same

About David.

You May As Well

Start Straight Away.

Ten Minutes,

Downstairs.

Oh, And Ellie?

Do Something

With Your Hair!

[ Vacuum Whirring ]

Woman:
[ Shouting ]

Get Out Of My Home!

Get Out! Get Out!

You Come Into My Room,

You Move Everything,

And I Can't Find It.

And I Know You're

Stealing From Me.

Why Don't You

Go Back To Asia,

Where You Belong?

I Am Spanish,

Georgia.

[ Stammering ]

Who Cares?

You're All The Same.

Do You Even Have

A Visa To Get Into This Country?

I Don't Need

A Visa To Work.

I Am European.

You're A What?

You're A...

You're A Pain

In The Ass!

I Can't Go Out

With One Earring.

Get Back In My Room

And Find My Earring!

But I Cannot

Find It.

Maybe Ellie

Could Find It?

[ Vacuum Whirring ]

[ Door Slam ]

[ Object Clinking ]

[ Rain Pattering ]

Hello.

Hello.

Shame About

The Weather.

Yes, Isn't It?

I'd Like To Go Down

By The River.

But They Say

I'll Catch My Death.

[ Laughing ]

What's So Funny?

I'm Dying Anyway.

A Little Trip

To The River

Won't Make

The Slightest Difference.

Never Think He

Was Once A Judge Of The High Court,

Would You?

Quite Brilliant In

His Day, Apparently.

You Don't Look

Like Someone

Who'd Work In

A Place Like This.

You Don't Look

Like Someone
