Laing:
For all its inconveniences,
Laing was satisfied with life
in the high-rise.
Now that so many of the
residents were out of the way,
he felt able to relax.
More in charge of himself.
Ready to move forward
and explore life.
How and where, exactly...
Steele:
I see the rot's set in....he had not yet decided.
Do you fancy a drink?
Cosgrove is here.
All boys together.
difficult not to believe
they were living in a future
Oh, Christ!
Talbot:
Oh, bad luck.Or is it good luck?
I can never remember.
Woman:
Ooh!Woman:
So sorry.I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
Laing:
I'll survive.I don't doubt it.
You're an excellent specimen.
I thought you were empty.
Yeah, I... I just moved in.
I'm Charlotte Melville.
Hi. Sorry,
I must have fallen asleep.
God, I hope we haven't
frightened him off.
- So what if we have?
- I say.
- Yeah?
Why don't you come up later
and have a drink?
- I'm having a party.
- Thanks, I'll try.
Wilder:
What time do youwant us tonight?
- Seven sharp.
- That reminds me.
I haven't given you
You know you're not my type.
Besides, shouldn't you be off
to the television studios?
I'm not their type either.
Come on.
I can't.
I don't wanna disappoint them.
Nothing.
She's too depressed to cook.
I should have married
someone like you.
- Stoic and perfectly breasted.
- Mm.
You know, I'd dearly like to get
in between those thighs of yours
one of these days.
You really are too much
sometimes, Wilder.
Am I?
Laura:
Has something happenedof negative energy?
My sister died recently.
Really?
Yes, of course.
Sorry, it's just people normally
lie here and just... lie.
To get an extra ten minutes,
you know?
I don't have an extra
ten minutes.
No large bags."
Nappies.
- I'm sorry?
- They block up the chute.
I don't have any children, so...
Caretaker:
Good.They urinate in the pool.
I'll remember that.
Fifty-eight. Male.
Schizophrenic.
Myocardial infarction.
Bit of an old tortoise,
wasn't he?
Respect shouldn't be set aside
with any perfectly natural
feelings of revulsion.
Now, in time you may specialize
in the clinical treatment
of mental illness,
research into its origins,
development or manifestations.
But let's start with
the nuts and bolts.
As you can see, the facial mask
simply slips off the skull.
Munrow?
Munrow?
You've taken a fall.
So...
Yes, I'm afraid I'm not
very good at this sort of thing.
- Slotting in, you mean?
- Yes.
I was rather expecting to find a
certain kind of anonymity here.
Don't worry, people don't
usually care what happens
two floors above or below them.
Good.
Charlotte's different. She's on
all sorts of committees.
Helen:
She said your tenancyapplication was very Byronic.
- Did she really?
- Mm.
Well, I'm determined to
get everything right.
Right.
Top-up?
- Yes, thank you.
- Come on.
- Laing:
25.One floor down.
- Tennis?
- No, squash actually.
That's 20, I think.
Helen:
Why here and nota bachelor pad in town?
An investment in the future,
I suppose.
I felt like I needed a
clean slate to put my mark on.
We're down in the bottom,
in all sorts of shadows.
Most families are.
Real ones, anyway.
You blocked the chute.
- I'm sorry?
- This is Steele. He's in teeth.
You don't know how things
work around here yet, do you?
No, but I'm a fast learner.
I'm an orthodontist,
