don't you think, to write for the films?
It must be so challenging,
don't you think, the cinema is?
Wouldn't you say?
Of course, his understanding
is so extraordinary, his innate...
Like the way he draws his characters.
Swift strokes, so swift.
And, of course, for you,
after all your struggles,
to suddenly have
success on the doorstep.
After all those husbands
you've had and everything.
Of course, you' re so intelligent
and everything,
and, of course, so beautifuI.
Do you help him much with his work?
No, not much.
Are you feeling any better?
Better?
You weren't too well.
Oh, I'm perfect.
It's... It's so warm here.
So reaI.
I've never felt such a sense
Do you know what I mean?
- What?
Philpot. Does she do a lot of fainting?
How the hell should I know?
And why should she faint?
What's she got to faint about?
- Children said she fainted yesterday.
- I don't know.
Did she?
- They said you caught her.
- Me?
- Yes.
- Well, why should I catch her?
- To stop her head from banging on...
- What are you talking about?
- Did you catch her when she fainted?
- How would I know?!
- There's no need to shout.
- Shout?!
My God. I'm not shouting.
You' re the one who's shouting.
Where's she gone?
She's just gone out the front door.
Has she?
- Don't you think that's a bit odd?
- What?
I mean, we've just come in,
haven't we? Now she's gone out.
She's probably gone for a walk.
Why don't you take your coat off?
What?
Why is she gone?
- Do you want some coffee?
- No, thank you.
What did you think of the film?
What did you think of the bloody film?
Nothing.
I didn't think anything about it.
Is your film going to be
any better, the one you' re writing?
- Do you think it'll be better?
- Now, listen...
Do you like sitting between
two women? Does it give you a thrill?
Yes, it does. It really does.
What do you think
Should I go and see a psychiatrist
about it?
- All right. What's...
- Look. Listen, it was nothing.
Do you understand?
What do you mean, it was nothing?
What do you mean, nothing?
- What do you think I mean?
- Why did you catch her?
- I didn't!
- She fainted.
What does it matter?
I didn't catch her.
What does it matter?
Don't you understand? Who cares?
- I care.
- About what?
I care about you. Who else?
Me? You don't care about me.
All you care about is
that bloody great army of kids
I'm supposed to
slave my guts out for.
That's all you care about.
Where do I come in?
I can't even have a bath in peace.
I can't even go to bed with you
without one of them barging in.
But so what? You don't care.
