to a person,

the less you seem to know about them.

She lives her life when I'm not there.

And..

well that scares me.

Hey..

Why is he still here Bea?

Because he asked if he could stay

and I said yes.

Who is he?

He's a friend.

Like a brother... more!

Is he in trouble?

No he's just scared.

I'm scared Alan.

Of what Bea?

You don't have a f***ing clue.

You think love is all that drippy stuff

in all your old songs, all moonlight and

laughter and candles in bottles.

You think it's a bed of f***ing roses.

Perhaps it can be.

No it's not. It's hard.

It's to the death love.

I think she means you.

See you later.

Hop in, let's go for a ride!

Whose is it?

I borrowed it from a friend. I got to go

get some stuff from Paul.

What's wrong?

It's Ricky Sturge.

One of my kids from school.

I think he's being abused at home.

He'll be alright. You know the tougher

it is the stronger they become.

I wonder what he'll say.

Who? Paul.

F***ing hell!

Yoo Hoo..

What happened Paul?

Stupid,

my own fault entirely. Hello there.

Are you alright?

Bit of a cough.

And they walked all over my

f***ing back Benny.

Terribly sorry about the mess, I've

been meaning to do something about it but,

can't even think where to begin.

Well I'm not staying I just want

to get my luggage.

I'll be right back. Alright?

What do you teach exactly Alan?

Ah everything to

very small children.

Oh that's beautiful.

I approve of that very much indeed.

It's a pity about the piano isn't it?

Do you play?

Not really no.

Well you do or you don't?

Um a bit.

Well,

only a bit left.

I play the trumpet.

Occasionally for the children.

Oh do you?

Like the pied piper.

It's the piano I really mind about.

I mean, Alan I told them

I'd pay them back,

I'd no idea they would get

so f***ing desperate.

Don't go, stay and have a drink.

See what happens.

I know what happens.

Are you sure you're alright Paul?

You left me Benny.

Things will never be alright again.

What does it mean....

they walked on his back?

It means they walked on his back.

They got tired of waiting.

Who did?

Dealers. I don't care.

You do don't you?

Cds, air conditioning

I can drive this car

with one hand.

Look Who's Perfect Now

They say these amazing things sometimes.

They're really quite profound.

We were on a school trip,

the other week.

And there's this really solemn

little kid called Thomas.

He was frowning, staring out the window.

I asked him what was the matter?

He said well where's the trip.

I said well it's,

it's the coach, and it's the road

it's the houses flying by the window,

it's the whole thing. It's us.

And he looks at me and he goes "Oh",
