Hilary and Jackie Page #4

I'm not leaving you.

You're not here anymore.

You never will be again.

Haven't you heard?

I'm giving up the cello.

Oh, don't be silly.

I can do what I want.

But you don't know anything

apart from the cello.

I don't know anything

apart from the flute.

We're babies, Jacks.

Kiffer laughs at me.

Then why are you

marrying him?

Because he makes me

feel special.

That's a big swizz,

because the truth is...

you're not special.

I thought you'd be

happy for me.

This is nice.

Hi.

Good god.

What on earth

are you wearing?

It's fab, isn't it?

Danny bought it for me.

This is Danny,

by the way.

Danny,

this is daddy.

Daddy-o.

Barenboim.

I thought he was

from Argentina.

Surely that must be

a German name.

I think it must

be Jewish.

Oh.

Oh, dear.

I had a large breakfast

this morning.

He's a pig.

I have got plenty more.

Piers, dig in.

Anyway, mummy,

we're really desperate

to get married,

but lord knows when

we'll have the time.

Of course. It's best not

to rush these things.

I'm completely

booked up until may.

And Danny's

booked up...

June.

He's such a show-off,

but he's very handsome.

Of course, we only

really meet in airports.

We're going to do more

joint bookings together.

Sort of a duo,

like the Beatles.

There are 4 Beatles,

actually.

Are there?

Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Anyway, when we do

get married,

we're going

to get married

somewhere

wildly romantic

like the wailing wall

in Jerusalem.

Don't you have to be Jewish

to be married there?

Yes, that's right.

I'm going to be Jewish.

I'm having lessons

already.

Instruction, not lessons.

Oh.

So, what do you think?

Why are you talking funny?

Am I?

Nobody becomes Jewish.

I know for a fact you can't

just convert to Judaism.

Bye-bye now.

Leave it to me.

Honestly,

I can sort it out.

Oh, uh...

She can't possibly be

Jewish, for god's sake.

She's blond.

They call them

the Arthur and Guinevere

of music's Camelot.

The blossoming romance

between Jacqueline Du Pr

and the Argentinean pianist

Daniel Barenboim

has taken the world

by storm.

Up a bit higher.

That's it.

Oh, I can see them now.

Miss Du Pr astonished

the British public

with her brilliant rendition

of Elgar's cello concerto.

Piers!

Fresh from a triumphant

series...

You've ruined it now.

The couple has just

announced their engagement.

Miss Du Pr is converting

to Judaism.

And they plan to wed

in Barenboim's adopted

home of Israel

in the golden city

of Jerusalem.

Both asleep.

Coming.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Aah!

Oh, they're freezing!

Cold fingers are

very stimulating.

No, they're

bloody well not.

Shh.

What?

Oh, ok.

Here we go.

Mind your head.
