How About You... Page #5

[ Sigh ]

Hi, Alice.

I Have Something

For You.

What's Wrong, Ellie?

You Look Tired.

[ Sniffle ]

Take Me Down To The River.

The Nurse'll Have A Fit.

Screw Nurse.

Quick! Quick! Yes!

Shh, Shh...

[ Giggling ]

[ ]

Alice:

[ Giggling ]

Ellie, Just Because

You Split Up With Your Boyfriend

Doesn't Mean

You Can't Go.

Don't Be One

Of Those Women

Who Thinks They

Can Only Do Things

If They Have A Man

At Their Side.

What Does

Your Sister Say?

I Didn't Tell Her.

She'd Just Say,

"I Told You So".

Oh, Ellie.

You Need To Pay More Attention

To What People IDo./I

Not To What

They Say,

Or How They Seem.

It's What They Do

That Tells You

About Them.

She Gave You

A Job, Didn't She?

And A Place

To Live.

Ugh.

[ ]

Maybe I Should Have

Thought Of This Earlier.

[ Chuckling ]

Or Maybe It's

Just As Well.

[ ]

You Only See

Things Properly

When You're

About To Leave.

Then It's As

If You're Seeing

For The First Time.

Everything

Seems To Shine!

[ Car Doors

Opening/Closing ]

[ ]

[ Gasp ]

Open A Window And

Let Some Air In.

[ Sniffling ]

Various:

Bye-Bye. Merry Christmas.

See You At New Year!

Merry Christmas!

[ Stoned Chuckle ]

Woman:

Would You Like Some Tea, Or Some Cookies?

Ellie:

I Thought You Said "Cocaine".

Do All The

Residents Leave?

A Few Will Stay,

The Horrible Ones.

And Poor Kate,

She Stay Here To Mind Them.

I Would Rather

Spend Christmas

With The Devil

Than With Them.

How About You?

Um...

No, I've Got

To Leave.

I'll Stay With

Some Friends

For A Few Days,

And Then...

Who Knows?

How About You?

Uh, I Go Back To

Spain, To My Family.

Nurse:

[ Giggling ]

[ ]

[ Giggling ]

Goodbye.

[ ]

You Still Play?

[ Piano Notes ]

Um, Yeah,

Sometimes.

I Haven't

Played For Ages.

Ellie, Mum's

Had A Stroke.

She's In

Hospital.

Is She Okay?

Yeah, She's Fine,

She's Stable.

Why Didn't You Tell Me?

I Only Found Out

A While Ago.

Look, I've Spent

The Last Hour

Trying To Relocate

Donald And Georgia

And The Nightingales

Into Santa Rosa.

All The Other Homes

Are Either Full

Or Closed For Christmas.

And, Frankly Even If

I Do Find Somewhere

For Donald And

The Nightingales,

No One'll Take Georgia.

She's Actually Barred

From Santa Rosa.

Did You Know That?

Why Can't They Stay Here

And Nurse Healy

Look After Them?

Kate:

I Can't Ask Her.

She's Going

On A Cruise.

I've Never Seen

Her So Excited.

You'll Have

To Stay And Mind Them.

Me?

Look After Them?

Look, We've

No Choice.

You Know You Don't

Get On With Mum.

There's No Point

In You Going.

Look, Let Me Go.

I Won't Say

Anything To Upset Her.

You Don't Have

To Say Anything.

Look, I Really

Need This, Ellie.
