(gasping and whimpering)

Got you at last.

(groaning)

Samantha, what's the matter?

I don't know.

Didn't you hear me calling you

in the supermarket?

I was shouting my head off

and you just ignored me.

Oh, Leonard, I don't feel very well.

Let's go over to the clinic,

it's just around the corner.

You know, I was thinking

only the other day,

I really ought to see one of your shows.

Do you--got any coming up?

Well, it's all a bit in the air, actually.

If I can pacify Alan,

there is one at Wembley

I should be doing in May.

May?

You will let me know

when the dates are fixed, won't you?

Yes, of course.

You still practicing as hard as ever?

I've been slacking a bit lately.

Before the wedding

I was doing eight hours a day,

it's really essential.

That's pretty hard.

Yes. (laughs)

Um, well, with one thing or another,

I think we may have a case

of overwork here.

Well, could be.

It's really something more than that.

I just don't know what it is.

Um, your family--

is it true you're not in touch

with any of them?

There is a reason for my asking.

We were never very close.

We just lost contact.

Beth told me that you're--

How are things between you and Beth?

Uneventful.

Why did you interrupt me?

Did I?

You were going to ask me

about my mother, weren't you?

I believe she died

when you were quite young.

I don't really like to talk about it much.

Well, if there is no one you can turn to,

I hope you'll come and see me.

Yes, thanks, thanks, Leonard.

It'll have to be in the middle of the night

so Alan won't know. (laughs)

I enjoy my business and my pleasure,

as I'm sure you're aware of,

but I don't mix them--

whatever Alan might think.

(chuckles)

(man) --doesn't know my case!

(man 2) Well, I'm sorry.

Oh, there you are.

Why won't you see me, why won't you?

Eric, I'll see you at 4:00 as usual,

that's the time of your appointment.

No, look, I've got to see you, please.

I've got to talk to you, Leonard, please.

You know perfectly well

that's not possible.

You don't care, do you?!

You don't care if I was to

go through all that again!

Well, maybe if I was to go through you.

Look after Mr. Stevens

while I see this young lady to the door.

You're not going to harm

anybody, Mr. Stevens,

now come along, please.

Oh, what's the point?

It's gone too far now, it's gone too far--

I know what you're thinking,

but don't worry.

I've been treating him for two years.

There's hardly a week goes by

without him making

some sort of attempt

on his own life-- or mine.

But he--

He's quite harmless.

You've got my number.

Yes, thanks.

Bye.

Bye.
