- Hung her up?

- That's what they say.

How... how do I not know this?

'Cause you're an idiot.

Come on!

Ward Austin!

Jackie Weaver...

You will find out

on Personality Squares!

Find out what you can.

And don't say

anything to anyone.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Oh, hello, Maureen.

Yeah, yeah, we are,

but it's fine.

No.

No, I haven't.

Oh, my goodness. Really?

Oh.

That's awful.

Well, I mean...

Gwen must be beside herself.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

No. No, I appreciate the call.

Yeah, thank you, Maureen.

Yes, I will.

OK. Bye.

Charlie?

- Could you knock?

- If you go to Jeffrey's tomorrow,

I want you to stay on the street

so I can see you.

- Why?

Because I said so.

Has something happened?

Not anything that's

a concern of yours.

But something has happened?

Not anything that's

a concern of yours.

Is someone in trouble?

Yes. You, if you don't stop

giving me the third degree.

Now, please, just do

as I ask tomorrow.

Thank you.

And clean up this room.

Just joking.

It's... pretty neat.

Ah.

Eliza Wishart.

- Your book has come in.

- Thank you.

It's

just under... here.

OK.

Ah.

Here it is.

Thank you.

Charlie, wait.

I'll be out in a second.

Sign there.

"Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Have you read it?

Me neither.

I've seen the film three times, but

Mum won't let me buy the book.

So I got Mr Daglish

to order it for me.

I told Mr Daglish "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

is a book about a girl

who's famous for

making omelettes.

I don't think he's read a book

written this century.

Have you seen the film?

Audrey Hepburn is perfect.

She's so pretty and dignified.

I wish I was Holly Golightly in

my own apartment in Manhattan.

I would love that too.

Well, you could be Paul.

He lives next door. He's a writer.

- That's what I want to be.

- Really?

Well, that's perfect.

We can go to the New

York Public Library together

and sign a copy of your book.

There's so many

policemen in town.

You haven't heard?

Heard what?

It's because of my sister.

What happened?

She's gone missing.

I didn't know.

Do they know where

she might have gone?

They don't know anything.

I need you to take this.

Quick.

Promise you won't read it

before me, OK?

- OK.

- Just keep it safe.

Stupid, stupid little girl!

Where have you been?

I was meeting Charlie at the library.

I told Dad before I left.

Don't tell me lies!

Come with me, now!

I told you to stay

in the street!

Calm down.

Don't you tell me to calm down,

Charles Bucktin!

Where were you?

- At Jeffrey's.

- Don't...

Don't lie to me!

I was just at the library.

This is 'your' fault.

This obsession with books.

What did I say to you last night?

I said stay in the street
