Disgrace Page #4

Have you ever thought

of getting married again?

I wasn't made for marriage.

- Well, you can't keep...

- Preying on young women?

It's not going to get any easier

as you get older.

Do you remember Blake?

He says, "Sooner murder

an infant in the cradle

"than nurse un-acted desires."

- Good day. How much are your carrots?

- Two rand.

I'll take one, thank you very much.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

- 'Bye.

- 'Bye.

Why did you quote that to me?

Just that every woman

I've been close to

has taught me something about myself.

To that extent,

they've made me a better person.

500 rand.

Mmm. It's pretty good.

I'm going to stop in on Bev.

I need to collect medicine for the dogs.

Who's Bev?

She's one of my closest friends.

She runs an animal clinic.

All voluntary.

Hello?

Hello, Lucy.

- How are you?

- Good. And you?

I'm good.

Bev, this is my father, David.

Nice to meet you, David.

Come in.

Yeah?

- Sorry we're late.

- That's alright. You 're here now.

Hello, Bill.

Lucy, how are you?

- I'm well. How are you?

- Fine.

Ah, you must be David.

I'm Bill.

Come, make yourself at home.

Tea? Sit down, sit down.

We can't stay. I'm just going to get

the medicine for the dogs.

Ah. I'll go and get it.

Oh, sh*t.

He is good.

Mmm! He's a good man.

Poor tackling by our Kaizer Chiefs.

What's the story with Petrus?

Can he just come in here

and do as he pleases?

We have an understanding.

He got a Land Affairs grant

earlier this year,

enough to buy a hectare

and a bit from me.

We share the dam, and everything

from there to the fence is his.

If he gets a second grant,

he'll build a house

and move out of the stable.

He's very busy.

You should give him a hand.

Give Petrus a hand? I like that.

I like the historical piquancy.

And will he pay me?

I'm sure he will.

Why don't you ask him?

And what can I do for you

while I'm here?

You can help me with the dogs,

you can help Bev at the clinic.

You mean Bev? Help Bev?

I don't think Bev and I will hit it off.

Don't expect to get paid.

You'll have to do it

out of the goodness of your heart.

Hmm, I don't know, Lucy,

these animal welfare people

are a bit like Christians.

Everyone is so cheerful

and well-intentioned,

then after a while you itch to go off

and do some raping and pillaging.

Or kick a cat.

Bev tries to set an example.

What are you reading?

Oh.

Hey, mister! Some money, please, sir?

Can I have some money, sir?

Sir, can I have some money?

Sorry, I've got nothing.

Come on.

David, just in time.

Could you hold him from the front?

Come round and take his legs.

There, my friend.

Hey, steady, my friend.

Hey, my friend.

It's OK.

Steady, steady, my friend.
