That's Camden!
People wash up here. Like me.
- Oh.
- Oh!
- She'd be a good subject.
- What for?
You. One of your little plays.
Remember, I planted the seed!
No. No.
I'm writing about Mam half the time
as it is. One old lady's enough.
I live, you write. That's how it works.
- Yeah, except you don't much.
- Don't what?
Live. Put yourself into what you write.
How? We're both so f***ing tame.
Miss Shepherd? I'm Lois. The social worker.
I don't want a social worker. I'm about
to listen to the repeat of Any Answers?
I brought you some clothes.
Not during Any Answers? I'm a busy woman.
I only asked for one coat.
I brought three,
in case you fancied a change.
Where am I supposed to put three coats?
Green is not my colour.
Have you got a stick?
The Council have that in hand.
It's been precepted for.
Will it be long enough?
Yes. It's one of our special sticks.
I don't want a special stick.
I want an ordinary stick, only longer.
Shut the door.
If I want to get in touch with you,
whom should I call?
Well, you can try Mr Bennett at 23.
Only don't take any notice of what he says.
He's a communist, possibly.
Well, have you tried
the people opposite? They're nearer.
Well, they said they don't relate to her.
You were the one she related to.
Is that what they said? "Related to"?
No, that's me.
They said you were her pal.
- She was your girlfriend.
- Oh, Jesus.
Does she use your lavatory?
Well, only in an emergency.
That might give her squatter's rights.
We'd be much happier if she moved on.
"We"?
Camden.
All right, I've got everything.
The sherbet lemons, Cup-a-Soup,
the miniature whisky.
Mmm.
That's medicinal.
Well, she seemed very understanding,
the social worker.
Mmm-hmm. Not understanding enough.
I mean, I ask for a wheelchair,
and what does she get me?
A walking stick.
And she says I don't get an allowance
unless I get an address?
Look, "The Van, Gloucester Crescent".
Isn't that an address?
No! It needs to be a house.
A residence.
Anyway, I might be
going away soon, possibly.
How long for?
Broadstairs, possibly.
Why Broadstairs? Have you family there?
No. No.
Have you got any family?
I just need the air.
I saw a snake this morning.
It was coming up Parkway.
A long grey snake.
- It was a boa constrictor, possibly.
- No.
It looked poisonous.
It was keeping close to the wall,
and I have a feeling
it was headed for the van.
No, Miss Shepherd...
I thought I'd better warn you,
just to be on the safe side.
I've had some close shaves with snakes.
Listen to me, Miss Shepherd, there are no
boa constrictors in Camden Town.
What, are you calling me a liar?
