Right, has everyone
done four handfuls?
Sophie, you have, Jessica
has, I have... I've done three.
Well, do a fourth.
Think I've found something.
Look at this.
Must be a screw from the coffin.
If anybody says a word about
your father having a screw loose...
Mrs Turner, would you be angry
if I gave these a rub with a brush?
Why would I be angry?
Well, people are strange
when it comes to dying.
It's hard to let go of who we love
and all they had about them.
Do you believe in ghosts?
It's not the dead put the
wind up me, it's the living.
No, no superstitions,
I don't entertain them.
I'm glad you're bearing up.
Doctor Turner is a very big loss.
You know what has to be done and you
do it, and more power to you, I say.
Oh, Jesus,
I poison you with compliments!
Come on, back to work, both of us!
Oh...
Damnation!
Ooh!
Diana?
Could you get me a couple of
plasters or something? Look at this.
Tripped for no good reason.
There you are.
TELEPHONE RINGS:
See you later. Surgery?
So you have a fair idea
of the tests we'll need?
Yes, and I'll do them all.
Well, I'll arrange... I have no
doubts about it. It's what I want.
Having a child...
Have you got children?
Three.
My mother's very ill.
A stroke. A whole series
of small ones then a whammer.
She whispered something
to me after the first.
She said, "Love your children. "
Edward.
Edward?
Thank you for all this.
How could I manage?
I love it, you know I do.
Makes a pleasant change
from the office in London...
What's the matter?
Are you all right?
Oh, don't take any notice.
It's the house,
SHE SOBS:
Would it devastate you
if I were to sell it?
Oh, snap me out of this, Edward,
I'm being maudlin!
I should do something to help, hard
work! What do you want me to do?
I'd like you to go back
in the kitchen and make
a cup of tea, please,
because in the garden
you are Genghis Khan.
Really!
It was his children drove
Genghis Khan to destruction! Ha!
And I sympathise!
How was she? 'She seems very
emotional all the time. '
Never know if she's going
to bite your head off, laugh or cry.
She's still in mourning, Edward.
Has she mentioned selling the house?
No, I'm not selling it.
I wasn't being serious.
Edward that worried
about losing his garden?
He's worried about you grieving.
Well, why can't he speak out?
Why send you?
He didn't. I came myself.
Are you all on a mission?
Why are you so touchy?
This has come out of the blue.
What has?
Selling the house, moving.
I said I'm not! It's just... Oh,
it's just such a big house
