Leave a message,

loud and clear

for an old lady.

I don't want you here.

- So don't--

- Do you mind?

I, uh,

I borrowed a T-shirt.

Where've you gone?

You're not speaking

to me now?

- You already had papers.

- What?

You said you were looking

for cigarette papers.

They were in my bag.

Loose a fridge in that.

Who was that

on the phone?

Are you in trouble?

You can tell me.

I know what trouble

looks like

I got married to it.

He's not my husband

for much longer.

Even sold my ring.

Dick.

What -- what are you

doing here?

I'm trying to be nice.

Do you wanna know

why I chose you?

Because you looked

like a pushover.

That's the routine.

See.

Now I am being nice

and honest.

I actually think

you're alright.

Oh, fine then.

And it's Abby.

By the way,

since you're askin'.

I'm sorry.

Um..

...I got out

about a year ago.

I'm not asking you

to stay with me.

You, you can sleep

on the bed.

I'll go on

the sofa downstairs.

I've got eggs and bacon.

Hello.

See how

the colors change.

Uh, the door's stuck.

I can't open the door.

The door's stuck.

I'm so sorry,

I'm so sorry.

At least, forgive,

forgive me for this.

Here.

Sit down. Sit down.

Get up.

I'm so sorry.

If it sends you

off somewhere.

I'll come and get you.

Hello, we are not

available at the moment

please leave your name

and number after the tone

and we will

return your call

as soon as possible.

I didn't expect

you'd pick up.

Only what it was is..

...I have an,

an appointment in London

tomorrow and..

Your nice neighbor

let me in.

I took a tumble..

...coming up

on the concrete steps.

Clumsy idiot.

I even tore my dress.

I doubt it will get

all the dirt out.

I was hoping you might

have a plaster.

Do you have a plaster?

Could you help me

with a plaster?

I'm not touching you.

Shut the door

on your way out.

I might at least

clean myself up.

I've been traveling

all day.

Sink's over there.

Get away from it.

I don't know

how to stop it.

It just started

making a noise.

Just leave. Now.

Well, it's dark.

Where would I go?

Out!

Maybe your neighbor

has a sofa.

You're not to go

over there.

Then where do I go?

I don't care.

You can't stay there.

One night.

See how

the colors change?

I hadn't realized

how hungry I was.

It's liver,

your favorite.

You have no idea

what I like.

It's what

you used to like.

I can look after myself.

I learnt that much.

I've got a business

to run.

Did I hear you say,

a business?

You're upstairs.

I'm happy

to take the sofa.

Upstairs.

You look well.

I was.

You have one

new message.

New message.

I'm here.

Where the f*** are you?

If he's touched you,
