She has a soft touch... It could be.

You've got her till friday.

Now, have you got your ticket?

On time.

Maggie! Where are you off to?

Magg, are you alright?

Need anything?

You can go home, now.

Hi, leave your message after the beep.

Just me, Maggs. What's got into you?

Julia find all the thing bizarre.

Where are you now? In this time of night.

Give me a call. Soon.

Still here, where's mom?

You should go and live with your mother.

Maggie.

Mr Pecklush.

Hey, do you need a drink, uh?

We met when I was 17.

Trevor was old, full of himself.

I didn't know any better. Who does, at that age?

Ended up pregnant.

Home had nothing to offer.

So I got married.

Came down here

but then I lost the baby.

John arrived 12 years later.

Quite a surprise to say the least.

We plodded on.

And Trevor died.

And just after that, Olly became ill.

And... and here I am.

The Wanky Widow.

Yes.

My husband was a pig.

He beat me. So...

So I left.

Bastard. Now, one for the road?

Yes, why not?

Chris, two more.

Don't tell me I stop.

I promised Tom I wouldn't.

I think about stopping every day.

But then I think: screw it, I deserve all the cigarettes in the world.

Dear Mr Cooper, we regret to inform you in this occasion we are not...

in a position to offer the loan as requested.

Thank you.

And... I'll have 5 of these, the hundred thousand ones, please.

Feeling lucky, are we?

Oh, I thought I had more, I'm sorry, I'll have 4 of them.

Hi.

You, you said -

I said monday you earn 6-8, if you work. And don't cry.

I make the rules.

Mom? This time I come from the rest of the washing.

... going back to the hospital...

You alright mom?

Me? No, I mean YES. Why?

Well, it's jus you haven't been to the hospital for a while and...

it's not like you, that's all.

I thought maybe you were ill or something.

No, no, I'm okay.

You know me, same all me.

I'll be in tomorrow.

Promise.

Good, Olly misses seeing you.

Thanks mom.

How is he?

You need to rest.

I've been turned down again.

I know.

I don't know what to think any more.

I can't... just don't know what to do anymore.

to...

I love him so much.

I really love him.

P 640

I need more. I need -

A name.

A name you'll earn more.

Irina Palm.

I like Irina.

Where I come from there are many beautiful Irinas.

First girl I didn't do it, she was an Irina.

They see Irina, they think -

Some sexy young girl.

Not a middle-aged frump.

Frump? What is "frump"?

Someone like me. Dumb, middle-aged.

If you are so frumpy how can I make you Irina?

Don't be so shy, Irina... sexy.

You can be anyone. You know,

at home you are Maggie:
