independent conservative candidate.
Polling station remains open until 9 o 'clock.
That's it there.
I'm sorry. I didn't have time to do much.
It's all right.
I couldn't eat much anyway.
It's very good we got it all done in one day.
Yes. I didn't want to pay for an odd day's hire at that machine.
Not at a pound an hour.
Jenny, I think we've done all we can here.
We could maybe do with a bigger place.
A bigger place?
Yeah, just something I've been thinking about.
Oh, yes, since when?
Since I raised this in Scottish Farm.
Percy Tennantsey, Mixed Farm.
Are you serious?
I must be, or I wouldn't have cut it out, would I?
Well, there's got to be a catch. A catchy one.
200 acres, that's a catch.
Don't see how.
Well, you'd be paying at least £200 in rent alone.
And then with dock and implement, we'd need about £1 ,000 a year, which we
haven't got.
That doesn't say £1 ,000 there.
Well, it wouldn't make any difference if it said £500. We haven't got it. Well,
what are banks for, eh?
Banks? What guarantee have they got of getting their money back?
The interest would start from day one.
Alec! You don't like the idea, all right.
I didn't say that.
We could ask your father for help. He said if we ever needed it.
Yes, I know he said.
Well, his bank would need some sort of collateral, which we haven't got.
All right, forget your father.
Alec, we've only just settled here.
seasons, that's all.
We're making real progress.
We've done all right, yes.
But why stop there?
I think we've done all we can here.
And besides, it's hard on you.
You know I don't mind the hard work. I love it here.
Year after year with no certainty of anything better that bothers me.
All I do is improve the place for the Laird.
By the time I've paid all the bills, there's damn all left.
I can see year after year of hard work stretching ahead of us.
With a bigger farm, we might actually make money for ourselves.
You were the one who always said that Corrie Begg was all you ever wanted.
Times change.
People change.
Yes, I can see that.
What's that supposed to mean?
I'm used to Strath Blair. I don't want to have eggs. And start all over again
somewhere else. And I don't want to stand still.
Time for me to move on.
Oh.
All I'm saying is somewhere else might be better for you.
You are not interested in what I want.
Or what I think.
Have you done anything about it?
Not yet, no.
Then I advise you to think twice.
Thank you.
We'd better eat up.
We've got to vote yet. I haven't got to vote yet.
And I promised Flora and Andrew that I'd go to the canter. Aye, well, I won't be
there. Yes, you will. You have to take me. I am bone tired.
Yes, so am I.
Good evening, Mr. McRae. Good evening.
Good evening, Mr. Forbes. Good evening, Mrs. McInnes.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. and Mrs. Beale, isn't it?
Yes, yes. And Mrs. McCall.
I'm not sure it was the done thing for the candidate to run voters to the
polling station, but those people live about ten miles away.
I've marked them down as voting for you.
I wish I was reassured.
Yuning, rather embarrassing to lose my deposit.
No chance of that.
Strunk Blair, at any rate, put at least 60 % for you. I mean, 60 % stay there
for me.
What about the rest of the constituency?
Well, it's by guess and by God, isn't it?
But people are worried about the Hydra scheme. They really are.
Let's hope we register a decent prototype.
Just so long as I make a good showing, it'll do.
Evening. Evening.
Well, I think you look rather good, isn't he?
Prime Minister will be fine. The rest are lobbying for her.
Well, here's one of your supporters now.
Ah.
Evening, Father.
Ah! Thought you'd have voted earlier.
I put you down as a yes vote for Andrew.
You can't do that. It's a secret ballot.
I wouldn't tell the King my vote.
Don't spoil it at all. I thoroughly disapprove of this asking people how
going to vote. It's all wrong if you ask me. 60 % say they're voting for Andrew
in Strathclyde.
Oh, evening. Excuse me.
Look, Andrew, I wouldn't get your hopes up too high if I were you.
If I didn't have hopes, I wouldn't be here. Are you sure to go to the Tory?
Always has in my lifetime.
Thank God we can always rely on the rural vote in Scotland.
Laura. The father down as true blue.
What? Don't put me down as any damn thing.
Oh, right -o. I'll put you down as a don't know.
A what? A don't know.
Well, better go in and get it over with, I suppose.
Make sure you read the ballot paper, Father.
Before you mark your... I shall.
Barely nonsense.
I think he's a no.
I know he's a no.
Well, it's their time. The Tory will walk it.
Well, then why bother to vote?
Trust you, it's either that.
Evening, Alec. Evening.
Ah, someone I can count on. Hello, Jenny. Hello. I'm sorry I wasn't here
earlier on.
We will be coming to the count in Pitlockery, though, won't we, Alec?
It'll be late.
They're expected around one, I believe.
Too late.
Well, I'm going.
Just one tick there.
Who, surely?
He's Labour.
All the jocks were Labour. Well, all the conscripts, anyway.
Look, I'd better get on and see how we're doing elsewhere. Keep up the good
work.
Hurry, babe.
A pint, please.
Bobby?
Busy today?
Aye.
Voting's thirsty work.
So's hanging about. My wife's still in there.
At the polling station?
Aye, she's helping Mrs McGuinness.
For me, there's damn little difference between any of them. Well, you can't say
that, man.
They all stand for vastly different things.
The Tories want to set the people free. So they say.
The Socialists want to turn us into East Germany.
Labour. What?
It's the Labour Party, not the Socialist Party.
I can't see the difference.
Oh, well, then maybe you shouldn't be voting then.
Ah, begging both of them anyway.
So you voted for the Major, then?
That's my business.
You're an old -fashioned liberal, aren't you?
I may have been a welcome, but there's never been anybody for the ordinary man.
Like David Lloyd George.
He'd been in office for 30 years. Even so.
So it was Labour that got your vote in the end, was it?
It's a secret poll, Corrie Benn.
So secret that everybody in Strathclyde knows what everybody else voted.
They know what they say they voted. That's another thing.
Well, the major stands for something that matters to us here in Strathclyde.
Ah, something in that, maybe.
The others just want to win so they can go on blether in Westminster.
The Labour Party has done more than blether.
It's given us a national health service.
Ah, what type of beverage?
Who was the Liberal?
I understand a little unemployment now.
Very low wages and a hell of a lot of bureaucracy. Just look at your
from the Department of Agriculture.
Aye, but we get our grants, don't we?
Don't see you refuting yours.
You still know damn all about grants or farming.
People have had enough of the government.
Food still in the rations six years after the end of the war.
Winston will change all that.
If he gets in. You'll get in.
Make no mistake.
Well, maybe he will. But will he do anything for Scotland?
Well, you might as well go and get a cup of tea.
We haven't all been in bed.
It's after nine.
The polls have closed.
There's nothing you can do about it now.
What time's the count?
I heard one o 'clock or thereabouts.
I'll be in my bed long before that.
Jenny wants to go to the count.
I might go myself.
Drink up, everybody. Special extension.
Very good.
You were one of those army blokes that voted Attlee in last time.
Aye, I did. I don't mind telling you.
I say, he's a solid enough wee man.
So, how were the oats this year?
Not bad.
All done today.
Two whiskies, please.
Coming up.
Thank you.
As a matter of fact, I was thinking I might get a bigger play.
Evening, sir.
Evening. Whiskey, please.
Certainly, sir.
Evening. Evening.
2 and 11.
Get the change.
You know who?
I don't know.
I don't know.
On eventually elections 1951, as returning officer for the constituency
Perthshire, I hereby give notice that the total number of votes cast for each
candidate in the election is as follows.
James Ballantyne, 3 ,070.
Walter Henry Barker, 12 ,906.
Major Andrew Mingus, 10 ,902.
And I hereby declare that Walter Henry Barker is duly elected
as Member of Parliament for the North Prussia constituency.
I'd just like
to thank all my constituency workers for their tremendous help.
in securing North Perthshire once again for me and for our party.
And I'd also like to thank my opponent for a decent and honourably fought
election, which I hope is going to put Mr Winston Churchill back again into No.
10 Downing Street.
Thank you.
The Labour Party can hold its head up proudly in North
Perthshire.
It's going to be a near thing nationwide and advise everybody to stop counting
their chickens.
It's not over yet.
I too would like to thank my supporters for all the unstinting work
they have put in on my behalf, most particularly my agent, Mrs Flora
I am not downhearted by my vote.
I regard it as the most respectable result to come so closely behind the
candidate, and I can assure you that my objection to the Hydroelectric Board's
scheme to vandalise and destroy a sizeable slice of Perthshire farmland is
undiminished. I give you my word on that.
Thank you all once again.
And here is another result from Scotland.
North Perthshire has declared for the Conservatives...
With a 2 ,000 majority... Andrew Mingus.
Labour was third with 3 ,070 votes for James Ballantyne.
And now for a little more music. Well, quite a decent showing.
For the Conservative Party, I mean, of course.
Very young. Andrew didn't do too badly at all.
but still show that the great efforts that have been made have not been
unavailing in our country.
There lies before it all a difficult time, a hard time.
Well, it was an experience.
Was that all right?
Don't be depressed.
No, I'm not depressed.
We had a thousand votes more than I thought we would.
I did have two candidates against me on the one issue.
That was a good show.
Coming in for a nightcap?
We're back.
The fire's still in.
Don't stay up.
Whiskey?
Oh, yes, please.
I can't help thinking my whole campaign was a charade, really.
This year was already decided over port and to guard in some boardroom in Perth.
It wasn't only the port.
You rallied the local opposition.
Gilmore couldn't ignore that.
Ah!
Well, it looks like Winston has it in the bag.
Has he indeed?
I thought you'd gone to bed.
No, I just popped upstairs for a moment.
Well, it's been a near thing.
But actually, it's not that tired.
I'm bound to say they've done some good things, but time for a change.
I don't think my old soldiers will be too pleased.
Oh, well, soldiers are always a bit bolshie while they're in uniform.
Once out a bit, they're sensible again.
Well, I'm dead.
I'm away to my bed.
Can I tempt you?
One last one to help you sleep?
Oh, just a small one, then, thanks.
Of course.
Actually, I have a little bit of news for you that might keep you up
for the rest of the night.
Is that small enough?
Yes, fine.
I've just been on the telephone to George Gilmore, chairman of the council.
He was still up.
I don't think anyone's gone to bed yet, anyone.
Father, you know my views on this.
Yes, I do, Andrew, I do, I do, I do, and they do you credit.
The politics is about reality.
The art of the possible, as Clemenceau said.
The motion to keep the River Reaskin as a water resource for the county will be
made public tomorrow.
So you have won.
No hydro scheme.
Hurrah, hurrah.
Three cheers for the old boys' club.
It was all done absolutely above board and democratically.
What probably influenced them most was your campaign.
I'd like to believe that, Father. I really would.
Come on, Flora. I'll walk you home.
Good night, Sir James.
Good night, Flora.
Take a rest now.
What are you doing here?
God, I wish I was doing that.
Of course, it's harder than tilling the fields. You wait till you're back in the
fields.
I don't know if that'll be at Balbuy.
Talking of which... I think I should go up there and mull him.
Or you can follow on. It'll give me a chance to talk to him.
All right.
I need to see Umberto anyway.
But don't forget, whatever your grandfather says or doesn't say, I want
blessing.
I have to have that.
They might find it a bit curious.
There's bounty.
And it's not even legal, is it?
Does that bother you?
No. Oh, no, not at all.
If we split up, which we won't, then there'll be no need for a divorce
settlement, will there?
You mean who gets the gas stove?
You would think of that.
Who would want a gas stove once they've tasted a tender sushi for the count for
that?
These tin suits are very popular.
Whoever had a tin suit, I make my own suit.
Good morning. Good morning, sir. Can I help you?
Twenty players, please.
Excuse me, Balduy.
Certainly, sir.
That'll be three and sixpence.
Thanks.
Strut players changed a bit since I was here last.
And when would that be, sir?
Some considerable while.
I was thinking, sir.
You're a guy like somebody we remembered.
But, oh, well, you'd say so if you were, now, wouldn't you, sir?
Tell me, does Phoebe Robertson still live at the same place?
Yes, up at Cairnburn, like she always has.
Ah, well, some things never change in Strathclyde.
Good morning.
Well, sir.
Hi. You're changed.
Stickman.
Thanks.
Good day.
It's him.
I'd bet my life on it.
I'm not sure.
If it was him, he'd have said surely.
I'd think so, wouldn't you?
But if it's not him, it's his double.
Well, it was a long time ago.
It's him.
Now, we're talking about 20 years if it is.
Well, he was only a step of a lad.
What, 17 when he left?
And that was long before the war.
Oh, well, he'd be the right age for that.
Went in the early thirties.
Morning. Morning.
Oh,
hello. Is the doctor in, please?
Yes, this is McInnes.
Can I have a word with him, please?
Yes, he's expecting me to call.
Good morning.
Fancy running to Perth? I've a few things to get.
I can't. I've got too much to do today.
Oh, come on.
I wish I could, but I can't.
Right.
See you later, then.
Oh,
hello, Doctor?
It's Flora McInnes here.
Oh, you did, I see. And, um, what...
I see.
Thank you.
Yes, well, obviously, they're thinking about... Right, um, goodbye.
Quite glad to see you.
Did the postie tell you? Aye.
Seemed surprised you were asking me, then.
Well, didn't want to have him any fevers.
I know.
It's not these.
Can do too much for some people, then they appreciate it.
By some people, do we mean men?
We do.
And by men, do we mean them better?
We do.
Now, what's wrong with this blasted machine? It's held me up all day.
The Major didn't win, then?
Nobody made him think again.
I didn't bother voting.
Let's try it now.
There she blows.
You're better than a man any day.
I'm going to have to rush.
Daily from the top.
Connie Begg will still be there when you get back.
Aye. Huh?
How are they?
Busy.
Giving you the day off, have they?
No, not exactly.
You do like Tansy, don't you?
I've nothing against her, that's it.
Well, I'm not ashamed that we're both half gypsy.
I know that fine.
The Gypsies are an ancient people, three thousands of years ago, before the
Chinese or the Aztecs, and long before the Scots and the Picts.
Aye, I don't need the Astro lessons.
But they haven't changed with the times, have they?
Why should they?
Did you have any special reason for coming to see me?
Do I need a reason?
No, but you usually have one.
I've asked Auntie to marry me.
Soon.
Oh, have you now, eh?
Aye.
She'd not be an ordinary wife to you, would she?
What with this art business to look to.
I don't want an ordinary wife.
Bore me to death.
If you get into the farming, maybe you'll need one.
But that's your business.
Aye, it is.
And on what will you be living if you do get married?
We've got our grants.
Well, could you live on that?
Set up house in it?
We won't be setting up house. We'll just get our furnished bed set or something.
Bed set?
Is that some kind of combined room?
It's the same thing.
So you'd have no money or anything at the back of you? You'd get married on
nothing at all? Well, lots of people do.
Well, I don't suppose you'd have fortune yourself.
I had the tenancy of a farm.
I put off getting married while I was only a farm worker. I waited five years
for the tenancy.
We both did.
Well, people don't wait like that now.
We don't want to.
No.
Maybe not.
So how does this involve me?
Are you asking for my approval or what?
No.
Well, I would be glad... Well, we both would if you did approve, but... You'll
do it anyway.
I've spoken to her
family.
Her father would like to speak to you.
To me?
You're the only family I've got.
It's usual.
It's usual, I grant you.
But what would they want to talk about?
Oh, no money involved. Don't worry about that.
Did I say I was worried?
No, you didn't.
So, where are they to be found, these?
Stuart's funny.
They'll be at Kirk Michael next week if you want to go and see them.
Well, it's 20 miles away.
It'd take most of the day.
Well, if you go, I'll come here and look after things for you.
You have it all worked out, haven't you?
Well, you have to.
I'll pay your birthday.
I'll pay my own butt there.
Hello.
Oh, thank you.
How are you?
Fine. Can you help me with some new work I'm doing?
Well, it depends what it is, huh?
Here.
What is it? I need to do some cutting and welding, and I think the metal might
need to be dipped.
It's interesting, most unusual.
It's a brush, a knife.
Is that significant?
It's a secret.
Ah, a secret.
I see.
Please go on, don't mind me.
No, that's all.
You keep those for a couple of weeks. I need the work done. I'll see you before
I go back to Edinburgh.
Anytime. Great.
Bye. Bye.
What can I do for you, sir?
Could you take a look at my car for me?
Where is it?
Outside, if you'd like to come and look.
Sure. Lead the way.
Accidentally.
This is a nice piece.
Not bad.
I've scraped the wing.
Here.
This? Oh, this is nothing.
Yes, but she's my little baby, you know.
I like her. In perfect condition.
Do you?
Who's the girl?
She's a dancer's tour. She's a sculptor.
Good looking, isn't she?
Is she?
Have you always worked in metal?
No, not always.
Somebody said you were in Ormond.
Did they?
With Miss Femi Roberts?
Yes, I was.
Why? You know her?
Oh, yes, I know Femi.
Very well indeed.
From a long time ago.
I didn't know you came from these parts.
You don't come from these parts.
She's still on her own?
What do you mean?
Well, if you're not up there anymore, who's she got helping her?
Nobody.
She managed the farm on her own?
You mean it's a very independent lady.
For this scratch, this is nothing, but I've got some stuff in the shop to
it if you want, huh?
Fine.
I should have some red paint here.
Ah, here.
You ever thought of doing something a bit more delicate?
Like what?
Costume jewelry is big in Australia.
Ah, you come from Australia.
But the cost of jewellery... It's cheap because it's not genuine.
It isn't real diamonds or pearls.
It's imitation.
But it's good imitation.
There could be a lot of money in it.
I see.
All you do is copy the real thing.
Take this, for example.
Ah.
This is a nice piece, eh?
It's genuine.
But I could get us some stones that look every bit as good as that.
You could?
All you'd have to do is make the settings.
Oh, I don't have the sort of money to make this investment.
I'm not exactly short of a dollar.
I've done pretty well in Australia.
You mean you would be interested in investing?
I may be looking for an interest.
Then we can talk about it.
Aha. Speaking of early, eh? Well, it is five o 'clock.
I bought this in Perth.
Rather special.
Just for us.
Oh.
Have I missed something?
No, but I have.
What? I'm pregnant.
Are you sure?
Andrew. Sorry. Two months, sure.
I think that's wonderful.
Well, I don't. For God's sake, why not?
I'm two months, Andrew.
No. So everybody in Strathblake can count, can't they? And don't think that
won't.
Well, I suppose there are some things with seven -month babies.
Oh, yes, and you find them under a gooseberry bush.
I am...
I bought this to thank you for all your help with the election.
Now we really do have something to celebrate.
Please, let's take the train to London and get married next week at the
office at Caxton Hall.
Caxton Hall?
That's a society of divorcees and famous people who happen to be... In the club,
exactly.
Does it really matter?
Well, of course it matters. What will my family think? Let them think what they
like. No, it's not as simple as that.
Look, you... I might not care what people think, but I was brought up to
I'm a widow in my 30s, Andrew.
Every old woman in Perth will be saying to her cronies, oh, you ken the fact
that Strath Blair, the one with the good conceit of herself, well, she's no
better than she ought to be. She's got the young lair to get her in the family
way. Don't laugh. It's not funny. I know.
Come on, they won't say that. They will.
In seven months' time, they will.
You just said it yourself. We're not children.
I know.
I know.
Oh, Andrew, please, let's get married soon.
Of course.
But here in Strathblair, at the Kirk.
All right?
That was a fine lamb stew you made.
Aye, she knows the way to your man's heart.
The tea's very strong.
I hope that's how you like it.
It can't be too strong for me. As hot as hell, strong as the devil.
I see you've got out the best china.
Aye, I bought your mug and tea.
Oh, fine.
Is it all right?
Aye, you make a canny supper.
Even if it is a mite, Frenchified.
So, what's all this about?
Yes, sculpturing.
Is it making the statues, like the stookies you see in the middle of
of John Knox and such like? No.
Well, that's what sculpturing used to be.
Statues of great men and women so they'd be remembered when they're dead.
I don't do sculpture like that.
So if you're not doing the heads of famous men, what are you doing?
I'm doing what I know about.
My people.
I want to put our life into sculpture.
So that ordinary folk will look at us with new eyes.
Well, not prejudiced ones.
Look on us as the last nomads living in the Western world.
Living a life that goes back before we learn to farm our lungs.
That's what I'm trying to do.
The best crockery?
Sherry?
It looks like Sunday, but it's not. It's Friday.
Well, it's something else, too.
I give up. What is it?
It's six months and a week since we moved back into Corrie Begg after the
That's an anniversary?
Well, I thought we needed something to celebrate between us.
Did you?
Yes, I did.
Well, I suppose it is six months and a week.
Maybe you could even have a bath and change your shirt.
What, dress for dinner?
Oh, go on.
Just this once.
What would I want to do that for?
Who's going to see me?
So at last you've named the day.
Splendid, dear boy. Absolutely splendid.
She's just the girl for you. I've always said so. For you, for the family, and
for Strathclyde. Here, let me fill you up.
Thanks, brother. You sound as pleased as I am.
What? I'm thrilled, dear boy. Absolutely thrilled.
Well, let me see. Where are we? October?
What had you in mind? A Christmas wedding?
Nice idea. That saves on all kinds of things.
Edinburgh, I suppose.
Lots of regimental friends, gods of honour, that sort of thing. What?
None of that, I'm afraid.
No? No.
Something local.
Strathblare Kirk in, say, three weeks' time.
Three weeks?
I think the bands take three weeks.
Ah.
Ah, yes.
Oh, just so. Fine.
If that's what you want.
One place is as good as another, I suppose?
Absolutely. We'll have to let your mother know. She'll want to come over.
Yes, of course. I'll send her a cable.
Give her a ring tonight.
Well, here's to the two of you.
Thank you.
Hello.
Flora, my dear, I have just heard this splendid news. I'm delighted. I am
absolutely delighted.
Welcome to the family.
Thank you.
I've just came to Andrew. We'll have to send for his mother.
Straight away.
I understand that it's to be at Strathbare Cuck.
That means inviting all our people from the estate, I suppose.
Oh, and your side, of course.
Well, there's not many of us, just Mother and Father and my sister Janet,
naturally. Ah, yes, Janet.
Of course, naturally.
Well, we can get all that sorted out, I'm sure. It's marvellous news.
Can I get you a drink? Oh, yes, thank you.
Actually, no.
No?
No.
Won't you know, I... I think I'll get a reasonably early night for once.
Whatever you think, Father.
Well, congratulations and good luck to both of you.
Good night.
Good night. Good night.
I suppose it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that in due time,
Strathclyre will have another son in heir.
That's what we need.
In due time, of course.
Good night.
He wasn't sure until you said no drink.
No, I know.
What are you puzzling over?
Ministry of Agriculture returns.
Not that time now.
On figures I've been working for the tenancy of that farm I told you about.
I didn't know you'd written to the solicitors.
No, I didn't. I telephoned them.
Well, you didn't mention it.
No.
What did they say?
Well, they gave me a possible price for the tenancy.
And it's even better than I thought.
They'll be writing to confirm.
What was this possible price?
£200, but we need another £1 ,200 to get going. Well, then it's way out of our
league, Alec. We can't raise that sort of money. No, no, no, no. I talked to
your father on the phone, and he reckons he can get me £500 without collateral,
but that's his limit.
You took from my father without collateral? We need £1 ,400, all told.
Alec, this is hopeless. I mean, can't you see how... Somehow.
The way I see it, this is too good an opportunity to miss.
You're not listening to a word I say about this.
I'm going to see if the hands are sharp.
Well, I'll be here when you get back.
I'll be a while.
Go stop thinking today.
Hello, Feeney.
Angus.
It is.
I thought I saw you earlier today in the hill, but... I thought I was seeing
things. Can I come in?
Well, it's late.
Aye.
I
suppose
I knew you'd turn up someday.
Can I say welcome home to you?
No.
I've thought about you a lot, Femi.
You've done like I let you across the door.
Well, I don't hate you even if you hate me.
The old place looks just the same as when father was alive.
Cold and cheerless.
And I suppose you've been living in the lap of luxury in Australia.
Some of the time.
Some of the time.
I'm staying at a hotel in Perth.
I've driven up to Strathlair a couple of times, but... Well, I didn't want to
give you too big a shock.
Oh, that was really considerate of you.
This time of night.
To tell the truth, I was upset the old man left you the farm.
No news of you for years. What do you expect?
He was a mean old bastard.
After mother died, he gave us a dog's life.
And you gave me a bitch's life.
What? What did he tell me never crossed your mind?
I had a child.
You had what?
Died at birth.
Sorry, Phoebe.
You should be. It was yours.
I pray to God I never see your face again.
I can believe that if what you say is true.
It's true.
What did the old man say?
He never knew.
Nobody knew.
It was my secret.
I was born here.
I buried him on the hill.
Him?
I swear I knew nothing.
After all, it was just the one time. The one time was enough!
We were too close.
I had to get away.
But if I'd known anything of what you said... You'd never have stayed here.
Well, anyway, I'm here now.
Is there anything I can do? Aye, go.
Don't come back.
Femi. Will you just leave?
All right, Femi.
