Who'd Stay In

A Place Like This.

Well, I Never

Thought I'd End Up In One.

I'm Alice.

I'm Ellie.

It's Very Nice

To Meet You.

Well, Ellie, If

You Don't Mind,

I'd Like To Continue

Taking In The View.

I'll Clean Up

In Here Later.

[ ]

What Is It?

I'm In The Middle

Of A Game Of Pool.

Would You Let

Hazel Know,

There's A Registered

Letter Here For Her?

How Many Times Have

I Got To Tell You

That Hazel Does Not

Want To Be Bothered

With Stuff Like This?

The Post

Goes To Me!

Woman:

Ah, We're Awake, Are We?

Now, How Are

We Feeling Today?

No Need To Shout.

I May Be Dying,

But I'm Not Deaf.

Ellie? Uh,

You'd Stay And Give

Me My Breakfast, Don't You?

Of Course.

Well, Thank You,

Nurse.

Oh, Wow!

You Look Really

Beautiful.

Where Was This Taken?

Morocco.

A Long Time Ago.

I Remember Very Well,

Lying On A Beach

Outside Casablanca.

Smoking Hashish.

Not The Sort Of

Behaviour Expected

Of A Young Lady

In Those Days, Believe Me.

I Can Get You Some,

If You Like.

Well, At This Stage

I'd Try Anything.

We Were There

One Christmas...

It Was Just Right,

You Know?

Sunny And Warm.

A Holiday Relaxes A Man.

He Was Very Handsome.

He Was.

Unfortunately, We

Were Never Blessed With Children,

And I Regret That.

But We Travelled A Lot.

I've Led

A Charmed Life, Ellie.

Is He Still Alive?

Only In Here.

Oh, I'm Sorry.

Don't Be.

We Had A Great

Time Together.

And I'm Kind

Of Hoping...

That I'll See Him

Again Someday.

[ ]

[ Knocking ]

Hey?

Ellie, Waking

Everyone Up

In The Middle Of

The Night Is Not On.

Sorry!

Nurse Has Been

Complaining About You Again.

Said She Had To

Serve Breakfast By Herself This Morning.

Where Were You?

I Was With Alice,

She Needed To Talk.

I'm Not Paying You

To Sit Around Chatting.

Anything Else?

No.

God, You're

So Uptight All The Time. Jeez!

When Was The

Last Time You Took A Holiday?

All That Money You

Got When David Died.

What About It?

Why Don't You

Spend Some Of It?

How Do You Think

I Bought This Place?

Always Poking Your

Nose Into Things

That Don't Concern

You, Aren't You?

We're Going To

End Up Like Them If We're Not Careful.

Yeah.

They Spent

Their Whole Lives

Looking After

Their Invalid Mother.

And Then When

She Died,

They Didn't

Know What To Do With Themselves.

So They Moved

In Here?

Mm-Hmm.

Dietrich:
[ On Tv ]

I Never Faint

Because I'm Not

Sure That I Would Fall Gracefully

And I Never Use

Smelling Salts...

[ Imitating Dietrich ]

I Never Use Smelling Salts,

Because Zey

Puff Up Ze Eyes.

[ Laughing ]
