Solitary Page #2

No one forced her to drink.

Who was buying her

the booze, then?

If he didn't get it,

she would have got it herself.

How?

She couldn't even

get out of bed.

He did the best

he could, Nora.

It's hard to stand by

and watch someone you love

destroy themselves.

Then look the other way.

You're good at that.

It's his f***ing fault

the nurses keep leaving.

- Forget it!

- Not mine!

( phone ringing )

I thought

you said it died.

Must have come back to life.

Yeah.

( ringing continues )

( music playing )

( vocalizing )

Shine of the moon

Sound of the feet

Daylight is soon

( vocalizing )

Scent on the wind

As hunters,

we're twinned

As two hearts beat

All right, babe.

Wasn't expecting you.

Want to come down to pub?

- Yeah--

- Lisa, it's past 9.

Uh, yeah,

we were just

going to bed.

Aw, come on, babe.

Just one.

I'm not even

dressed, love.

Well, look at

the state of me.

All right, just one.

I'll go fix myself up.

What you doing

coming around here

at this hour?

Shut up, granddad.

I'll have her back

before morning.

You're f***ing

unbelievable, you are,

do you know that?

Jesus Christ.

( vocalizing )

Shine of the moon

( vocalizing )

Scent on the wind

As hunters,

we're twinned

As two hearts beat...

Go on!

( vocalizing )

( cheers and applause )

Thank you very much.

Man on PA:

Thank you, Nora and Lisa,

for that interesting version

of "The Show Must Go On."

And the show will go on,

but I think we better

have a little break first.

So, Peter,

get yourself ready,

and first,

here's some other music.

( rock music playing )

Still got it, babe.

( growls )

What?

Nothing.

Come on, spit it out.

I just thought maybe

you should call Shannon.

Why? So she can come round

and have a go at me again?

Just sounds like

she needs your help, babe.

It's not my problem.

If he wasn't such a c*nt

to all the nurses,

they wouldn't keep leaving.

Nora, what's

she going to do?

I don't know.

Find someone else.

Maybe you could

just go over there

in the evenings?

That's when David's

got his gigs.

Anyway, I'm busy looking

for a job, remember?

How's David?

We haven't been

getting on lately.

The usual sh*t.

All right, do you

want me to ask Liam

if there are any shifts

in the 'caf?

Yeah, go on.

Thanks, babe.

Thought I'd buy

you girls a drink

for singing

that nice song.

Yeah, no,

it's all right.

We got some.

Look at that.

I just finished mine.

I'm going to go.

Tommy's going to kick off.

Stay for one more.

No, I got a morning shift.

I'll give you a ring.

See what Liam says.

Yeah, go on. Thanks.

Looks like your friend's

walked out on you.
