Carla's Song Page #5

you're my best pal, but...

I just don't want to marry you.

I tried to kid myself on.

I just can't do it.

My God, you mean it.

I wish I didn't but it's true.

Maureen.

Maureen. Maureen.

Maureen.

Come here, please.

Carla?

Carla?

Carla?

For God's sake.

F***, f***, f***.

F***!

God.

F***.

Get up, for f***'s sake.

F***!

Oh, f***ing Jesus f***ing Christ.

Oh, Carla.

Come on.

Sh*t.

F***ing sh*t.

Excuse me.

How's the lassie?

Well, erm, she's just been

seen by the consultant

and... well, she's not responding

as well as we'd hoped,

so we're just going to give her a

wee bit of help with her blood pressure.

So erm, it'll be an hour

or so before we know.

Any chance I can sit in there?

I'll check with the doctor. If you want

to take a seat and I'll get back to you.

No problem.

How's she doing?

It's close.

Too close for comfort really.

- Jesus Christ.

- She's been through a lot.

Twice in six weeks is

more than most people...

What?

- I'm sorry. I thought you knew.

- Knew what?

Well, she went through much

the same thing six weeks ago.

I was on call at the time,

took her in.

She's... I'm afraid to say.

- I'm sorry. I'm going to have to dash.

- It's all right. Thanks a lot. Cheers.

F***ing hell, Carla.

post-traumatic stress.. "

"Dancer with group

in Nicaragua.. "

"Said country in state of war.. "

Jesus.

"Came to Europe seven

months ago with group.. "

"intention to promote

"Joined up with Salvadorian refugees

- I'm f***ing sorry, Sammy.

- It's all right.

- Is she all right?

- I don't know if she's... She's all right.

There was a lot of letters

lying about the floor.

- Where'd you put 'em?

- Hung 'em up in the kitchen to dry out.

I'm just gonna take

this wee photo.

I don't know what the f*** it is.

It means something to her, anyway.

What'll we do with 'em?

Don't know.

Get every one of them.

These two look the best.

Carla.

Carla.

- All right, darlin'?

- Fine, sweetheart. You?

I'm OK to you.

How are you, Carla?

- Bien.

- Bien. That's the three of us all right.

- Come on. Up you come.

- You look lovely, Sammy.

Aye, so do you.

Real men wear pinnies, do you not know?

Good to see you, darlin'.

In you come. In you come.

I'll whip that off
