Come on, why don't you sit down?

I'll put the TV on

and I'll make you a cup of tea.

If I sit down, I'll never get up again.

I'll be like

all the other old girls around here.

And then I'll go into a home.

Well, you know,

I'm sure that's a common reaction.

I'd rather kill myself.

Mom, you can't just wander about.

Come on, sit down.

Such a comfy-looking chair.

You sit in it then. I'm not staying here.

Please. Don't be difficult, Mother.

Why not?

-Sorry?

-Why shouldn't I be difficult?

-What?

-Why shouldn't I be difficult?

My God.

No, it's just that I can't....

No, we'll just tell them they've got to do it.

We'll just say that's....

That's what I said when I interviewed them.

That they were gonna have to

do extra hours, so that's.... Yeah.

Yeah. No, totally.

Yeah, or I can.... I mean, I can come and....

Sorry. Yes, I'll come in

and speak to them myself.

You know where everything is.

Is there anything else you need?

If you need somewhere quiet to sit...

use my study across the hall.

I never get a chance to go in there.

I've got to go to a meeting.

All right.

-What the f*** are you playing at?

-My father has just died, okay?

-What the f*** are you playing at?

-My father has just died, okay?

My business is going down.

You're never here.

-No, I am here.

-You're always on the phone.

It's a nightmare for me at the moment.

-It's nothing to do with that.

-How do people not kill each other?

-You can't stand her!

-Please keep your voice down.

Come on,

let's just hold this together. Yeah?

I think I'll go out for a walk.

Cheer myself up.

We'll be like that one day.

No one wanting us.

No one wants you anyway.

That's not entirely true.

Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you...

but you don't happen to know

where Benbow Road is, do you?

I don't know. I'm not living here. I'm from....

Thank you.

Excuse me, you don't happen to know

where Benbow Road is?

Benbow Road?

-Do you know where it's near?

-No, I mean I just got....

Go in the pub, go into the pub.

I'm completely lost.

No, I'm not from London, I don't know.

Do you know where she was going?

Brilliant, Bobby.

I'll call you back later.

I'll call you back later.

Mom.

-Where have you been?

-I've no idea.

I completely lost my sense of direction.

I didn't know where I was going.

Well, you're here now. You're safe now.

Actually, I think I liked it.

You know, just walking.

-What are we gonna do with you?

-I don't know, dear.

You could look after Jack sometimes.

In fact, I wanted to go out tonight.

-You're not staying in?

-Not if I can help it.

It is a nightmare getting a babysitter...

and then when you get one,

they wanna be paid the earth.
