Darling Page #3

by the last tenants. So it's relatively new.

Your books have arrived.

And your records.

- Are these yours?

- Yes.

Hello, my darling.

... it doesn't intrude on you,

because it's been dead for so long.

It has properties

of a beautifully laid out corpse.

You know, you don't worry about it.

It's always there...

Darling?

Sorry. Are Liz and Willie on or off

at the moment?

- I don't know. I have no idea at all.

- What shall I put?

Just put, "With best wishes"

and leave out, "To you both."

"Love, Robert...

"and Diana.

"Kiss, kiss."

- Happy Christmas.

- Cool Christmas.

Happy Christmas!

The most gorgeous Negroes

you've ever seen have just gone upstairs.

- What on earth's going on up there?

- They're having a diplomatic reception.

Would you like to have

a diplomatic reception?

What a good idea!

I can't get them to go.

Make them. Force them to go.

How?

- I don't know. Can't you force them to go?

- I don't know half of them.

Oh, dear. I just wish they'd all go away

from our little place.

Why did we ever have this party?

I don't know, but I wish they'd all go.

My friends seem to get on very well

with your friends.

Your friends are so pretty.

Yours are so intelligent.

I couldn't have been happy

if I'd kept Robert from his children.

I was absolutely insistent, rain or shine,

he went and saw them.

I couldn't have forgiven myself

if he hadn't done that, you see.

I've never really been the jealous type.

Where the hell have you been?

- I told you I had to go and see the children.

- Till this hour?

Did you see her?

Her?

- No.

- I don't know whether I believe you.

What makes you think she wants to see me?

- Perhaps you want to see her.

- Perhaps I do.

Why don't you tell me if you want to

see her? If you're still in love with her?

Lord.

Look here. No, listen.

I love you. Honestly.

- Robert, you won't leave me, will you?

- Leave you?

If only you knew.

I'm so frightened sometimes.

What do you mean,

you're so frightened sometimes?

- What are you frightened of?

- We're so happy.

Shall we get married?

Get married and finish all this?

Darling, I'm so happy as we are.

I don't want anything to change.

If we got married...

there'd be so much bitterness and

unhappiness for everyone, wouldn't there?

Darling.

Good evening.

An American statesman recently said...

that Britain was a country

which had lost pride in itself.

Have we so much to be ashamed of,

I wonder?

Let's find out.

What are you ashamed of in Britain today?

- Can't think of nothing.

- Nothing?

The traffic. It's a bit congested...

That's the worst thing,

as far you're concerned?

Some people don't work hard enough.

I work hard in Bristol. I do it for one person.
