go and get a mop.

Oh...

Shame to waste it.

You think it tastes...

metallic?

That happened when

my mum was pregnant.

I didn't say anything.

Oh...

According to Lydia,

my body has become a situation.

We'll soon be dealing

with the situation.

You're not gonna get

rid of it yourselves.

We've got it under control.

It's not passed you by.

It's legal nowadays.

Not for the likes of us.

Abbie?

Ha ha ha!

So you will each learn

these recipes off by heart.

Can we learn a poem

instead, Miss Mantel?

No.

I'll be back shortly.

Her breath stinks.

Puking up on her is probably

the most attention

she's ever had.

Never lived. Ahh...

"Savory turnovers

make a tasty dish

and a pleasant change

from the ordinary fare."

Keep thinking about keeping it.

I know you don't want it.

I'll get medical books

from the library, Morty.

Nothing'll go wrong. I know.

It's just a feeling.

But you can't trust feelings.

We're not kids anymore, Lamb.

We've got to face up to it.

There's a real world out here.

Yeah, and you're

the center of it.

What's that?

All this because he had a car,

and what the hell was Kenneth?

He's my brother.

Why is doing it so

important to you, anyway?

I don't get it.

I feel so crummy.

I can't focus properly,

Miss Mantel, honestly.

I feel so awful.

Crying out loud, oh...

Oh, I've better things to do

with my time than this.

Out. Out.

Say something, please.

We'll always be,

whatever happens.

What do you want me to say?

I'm sure you have

something in mind.

You always seem to these days.

You even sided with my mother.

Oh, don't be like that.

Come on. I know she's awful.

Please, I'm really

not up for a fight.

Admit it. You think we're over.

Say it.

You're getting it up,

and I'm not right anymore.

I'm feeling very...

You and your feelings.

Millions of women

have had babies, Abbie.

It's nothing special.

It's life and life only.

Abbie?

Abbie?

Abbie?

Abbie, it's Lamb.

It's Lydia. Come on, Abbie.

Help! Please! Someone!

Come on. Come on, Abbie.

Come on, Abbie. Don't be silly.

Sit up. Come on, Abbie.

Someone's coming.

It's gonna be fine.

What... What... What...

Miss Mantel, I think

she's losing the baby.

Well, let her get some air.

Abigail? Abigail.

Get an ambulance!

Abi... gail...

Uh...

Abbie!

Abbie!

Abbie!

Uh...

Abbie's dead.

Uh...

Yeah.

It's true.

She's dead.

It wasn't something bad.

Uh, she's dead.

Well, wasn't...

What? Drugs.

It was natural.

"Natural." Abbie's young.

Her poor mother.

The race had been run and won.

A look at the arguments

by Julian Pedwell.

To most of us, man's

breathtaking adventure

in space looked...

We are grieved

and shocked to announce
