All language subtitles for The Royal s04e01 For Better For Worse

I need someone in my life. I need a girl
to hold me tight.

Someone to make me feel, make me feel
alright.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Somebody help me now.

Oh, don't somebody tell me what I've
done wrong.

So, how's it feel, coming to work on
your last day as a single woman?

It feels wonderful going to work at all,
just anywhere away from my mother.

What a day this has been.

What a rare new diamond.

Why, it's almost like we're in love. You
know, just you and me and you, both

family and friends.

She's turning this into a complete
circus.

Well, that's what mothers do.

You look lovely in that dress.

You think so?

I just think I would have looked quite
nice in my suit as well.

It's, er, Dolly Smith, not Donald.

Sorry. She'll be your rest home.

Morning, Lizzie.

Ah, all set for the big day tomorrow,
then?

Never mind.

See you later.

See you.

Did I hear you mention Dolly Smith?

Excuse me, I'm here for Dr Wetherill.
Hang on a sec, please.

Just watch yourself.

Remember all the trouble we had with her
and her daughter?

Those outrageous allegations.

Yeah. Well, I think that's in the past
now.

She's just another sick old lady.

I don't feel well.

Well, you're done.

I've eaten something.

I'm sorry. Have you got an appointment?
No. She was talking to me.

The changing of sunlight to moonlight,

reflections of my life, oh, how

they fill my eyes.

Mrs.

Smith? Oh!

I'm sorry to be a trouble to you,
Doctor.

I'm not one to complain, as a rule.

We'll have less of that.

If you don't complain, I don't have a
job.

Do you hear that, Mr Calder?

You'll have to ask him to put you on his
books.

Why?

Is there something wrong?

Just age, son.

Just old age.

I have told you I do not want it.

Thank you.

Please yourself.

Now then.

Oh, well, it was bad enough when it was
in my ankle, but now I think it's in my

back.

Well, I'd better have a look at that,
hadn't I?

Excuse me, miss.

Is there someone who can help me take
Mrs Smith back to her room, please? I'm

third in.

Oh, well, if there's someone else that
can help.

They're all busy.

I'm sorry, but I need to examine my
patient.

Down there on the left. She knows where
it is.

Well, thank you so much.

Well,

we seem to have collected a fair amount
for the wedding present.

Have we had any idea about what to buy?

Well, it's traditional to get them
something to help them start out in

life together. I don't think they'd
thank you for a job lot of tea towels

toasters. Oh, I quite agree.

Well, I'm sure we can rely on Ken to
find something appropriate.

Something antique, perhaps. What do you
think, Ken?

Er, yes, Mr Middleton.

Excuse me.

Where will we be seeing Mrs Rose at the
wedding? Visiting her brother in

Eastbourne, I'm afraid.

All right, love.

Oh, Dad.

Oh, what's up?

He's left.

Who's left?

Dame, he's left me.

He's left home.

Oh, come on.

Oh, come on, let's get you a cuppa. I'll
in command at desk.

I think it's only bed sores, Doctor.

There's nothing only about bed sores,
Mrs West.

I think it might be easier to treat you
in hospital. Would that be OK?

Oh, please.

Yes, please.

No. No, no, no.

Yes, you will.

Leave him alone.

Any more nonsense today, will he? Leave
him be, he doesn't eat meat.

You're going to eat up all your lovely
stew like a good boy. I would rather

stop. Stop being so difficult. No, can't
you just find something else? No, no,

no, no.

If you won't open your mouth, I'll have
to hold your nose. I'm admitting Mrs

Smith into hospital.

And last night...

and somewhere.

I'm sorry.

Oh, come on.

You've nothing to be sorry about.

He says he's been seeing her for nearly
a year.

He's been lying to me that long.

A little.

What will I tell your mother?

What's she going to say? She's going to
think it's my fault.

No, she won't. She'll think the same as
me.

It's not just you he's betrayed, Lily.
It's the whole family.

Mum, why don't you go home, eh? Put your
feet up.

I can't.

Not yet. The place still smells of him.

I'd best get back to work. Hey, hey,
you'll do nothing of the sort to stay at

your inn.

You'll stay here.

Alan can look after reception perfectly
well. Come on.

I was here first. Alan, I need Mr.
Hobson's notes now.

Right, sorry.

I'll just go through to Dr. Webber and
he'll show up. No! You can't do that!

Hey, come back.

I'm sorry, can you hang on a sec?
Please? I told you you couldn't do that.

Where's Lizzie?

I'll tell you in a minute.

Dr. Wetherill always sees me without an
appointment.

No, she doesn't. Downstairs.

It's really chilling.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Nonsense. No, you can't. Look, hang on.
What on earth is going on?

Oh, sorry.

No need to apologise.

Francis, isn't it? Only to my mother, my
first headmistress.

My friends call me Frankie.

So what do I call you?

Well, that depends how friendly you want
to be, doesn't it?

Look, I can't stop. I've got an
emergency call out of the old folks'

maybe I'll see you later.

Maybe.

When Dr Weatherall is free, your name
will be called.

Please take a seat.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me, dear.

I'd like to see Dr. Weatherill, please.

And your name is?

Mrs. Weatherill.

Her mother.

I admitted a patient from the Shoreview
Rest Home this morning.

Now, apart from having the most horrific
bed sore, she's exhibiting signs of

vitamin deficiency.

She's dirty and kempt. Mother, I can't
stop to check on working. That's why I'm

in here.

I thought you wouldn't have time to do
it, so I've found you a very good

hairdresser. Did the relatives complain?

In this case, there aren't any
available.

I'll bet some of them have got family.

Your cousin Jane's been born tonight.

No, I'm going to do my own hair.

Oh, don't be silly, Jill. I mean...
Disgusting, you know, dumping your old

in the bin like that and walking away.

Anyway, I'd like to take a look at all
the evidence there, if I may. Jill?

Um, uh, Mother, this is Mr Rose. I've
been thinking...

Thank you, Mr. Rhodes. This is my
mother, Fonte Weatherill.

Ah.

You're Gordon's best man, are you?

What? No, actually, that's me.

Jeff Goodwin.

Partner.

Minion in General Dog's body. Oh.

Well, I do hope you haven't planned
anything disgraceful for Gordon

Rest assured, madam, I shall be there to
see that everyone behaves with the

utmost propriety.

He'll in bed for long, Mrs. Smith.

I do try to move around, but it's
difficult, you know, because there's

help me, you see.

And I'm sorry, but you do sometimes feel
it just makes their job easier if you

stay shut in your room.

They lock you in?

Well, at nights, mostly.

What if you need to use the bathroom?

Well, I have talked to them about it.

I said if they'd just leave the door
open.

The deer is calling.

Don't you worry.

You'll be heard in here.

Oh, yes.

Can we make him more comfortable?

Of course.

Now, can I sit up? Yes, let's get him in
behind you. There we go.

It's better, isn't it?

How's the food?

Oh, well...

You know, most of us in there are
brought -up families during the war, so

used to going short.

How short is that?

Well... Oh, I think I'm telling tales,
really. I mean, old people, we

don't use much energy, you see.

A healthy diet's important at any age,
Mrs. May.

Well, we had enough, I suppose, and
there's always plenty of sago pudding.

The basin's full of sago pudding to eat
if you're still hungry after your meal.

That's what they used to do to us at
school.

It's Mr Calder I felt sorry for.

You know, Matron said his not eating
meat was just a fad and she wasn't

any of it. But, you know, it's not a fad
for him.

I mean, he's written books about it and
everything.

Really?

Oh, yes.

Yes, he was quite an intellectual in his
day.

We used to call him a free thinker in
the 20s.

It diminishes our human spirit

if we choose to satisfy our appetites
through the

death of another creature.

That's what he said.

It's a pity, though, at our age up
there, you don't get to choose anything

more. I mean, they diminish your spirit,
whether you like it or not.

OK, I've got some calls to make.

Let's see if the Bridget here will take
good care of you.

What did you say Maitland's name was,
surely?

I didn't.

But it's Mrs Hedges.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's nice, isn't it?

I do understand that you've had domestic
difficulties, Lizzie.

But if you're going to take time off,
then do it properly.

Take a day's sick leave.

While you're in the building, I do not
expect to have to do your work for you.

Yes, Major.

Here.

I'm Alan Simpson.

I'm happy with them.

What about a nice tea set?

Here, have a look in here.

Antique? Nah, I'd have had it down the
dealers if it was.

It's only about 30 years old.

You can have the whole lot for a fiver.

It's a good -looking mine, no chips or
cracks or nothing.

It's not dodgy at all, is it? Hey, what
are you taking me for?

It's a house clearance over Whitby way,
so what do you reckon?

I reckon you've got a deal. Three quid.

What I want to know is why I was only
called today.

Mrs Smith's bedclothes should have been
attended a few weeks ago. She only

complained the other day. That's not the
point. Old people don't complain.

Half of them through there, they're not
even capable of complaining.

It should be routine to notice things
like that. We can't all afford to have

trained nurses at our beck and call.

Four. Of the patients I've spoken to,
say they have diarrhoea most of the

Some of my old folk have weak
digestions. No, they don't. They have

food poisoning.

It's probably endemic.

And looking at the state of these
kitchens, I'm not at all surprised.

Dr Goodwin, I do the best I can with the
stuff I can get and the money I'm

given. If you don't like it, I suggest
you take it up with the council.

Oh, I will, Mrs Hedges.

Trust me, I will.

From tomorrow, of course, we're going to
have two Dr. Ormerods in the hospital.

So I hope you won't mind spending your
wedding night devising some code by

we can tell you apart.

To avoid confusion.

So, it only remains now for me, on
behalf of us all, to present you with

gifts and wish you every possible good
luck, health and happiness in your life

to come. Thank you.

That's very kind.

I'd just like to say on a personal note
that, well, having Jill by my side is

really all the luck I'll ever need.

Thank you. May we open the presents now?
No, that would be awfully bad luck.

Oh, right. Well, we look forward to
seeing you all tonight.

Mr Bridget and I will be thinking about
you. Have a wonderful time.

So, ladies and gentlemen, the toast is
Wedded Bliss.

Wedded Bliss.

Just a small dry shirt for me, thank
you. Nonsense. If one is to do a stag

at all, one has a duty to do it
decently.

That'll be six pints of bitter and six
whiskey chasers, if you please.

Thank you.

Well, it's charming to meet you at last,
Mrs. Almarad. You must call me Betty

Bunty, now that we're going to be
related.

I think three bottles of the Krug 59 to
start with. Very good, madam. Thank you.

Mr. Middleton.

Hi, Andrew. This is for you, my future
father -in -law, Fred Wetherill.

How do you do? Pleased to meet you.

You're his boss, are you?

I'm not sure I could put it quite like
that, no.

Oh, no point in being modest about it.

I've been the boss of my own company for
30 years now. I've enjoyed every minute

of it. And what line are you in?

Textiles, man and boy.

I used to do run -of -the -mill
Macclesfield fare, but ten years ago I

into the future and I saw that it were
made of crimpling.

I'm very big in crimpling now.

So, Jane, what do you do?

I'm sorry?

For a job.

Good Lord.

I'm far too busy to have a job.

Oh.

I can imagine.

Quite right, too.

As you'll find out as well, Jill, once
you're married.

Well, I think when Jane says she's too
busy, she means she's too busy shopping.

Isn't that right, Jane? Well, of course.

And the cleaning and keeping the house
nice. You've given up your job.

Um, no.

No, Gordon, no.

Come on, man. Here's your stamina.

Cheers, Mr. Rhodes.

I'm going to have to go outside. There's
some fresh air in here.

You know, I have a good mind to find our
Dave and give him what for.

What he's done to my Lizzie.

I know, Kent. I know.

He needs to be taught a lesson.

That's what grown -ups should be all
about.

It's about being with your family and
your friends.

No drink in a chat.

Forgive me, Jeff, but I have to ask.

Dolly Smith, she does have a history of,
well, making things up.

Are you sure? I saw it, Gordon.

I smelt it.

This sounds very serious for a stag
night.

No, no, no, we're just discussing the
perils of growing old.

Ah, you're done fighting.

Never give an inch.

That's my advice.

Well, let's hope we all have that
choice.

She'll make you a fine wife, young
Wetherill.

Yes.

Yes, I will.

As long as she doesn't turn into a
mother.

I agree with Jill on this one, actually.

I think a man appreciates a woman who
does more than sit around waiting for

to come home.

Excuse me.

What's the matter with her?

Having been sitting around waiting for
her husband for some time, she's just

found out he's leaving her.

Well, I'm sorry, but that's hardly my
fault, is it?

Hiya.

What are you doing out here?

Just needed a bit of air.

Me too.

Listen, Lizzie, I'm sorry about what you
know.

Yeah, so am I.

For what it's worth, I think he's out of
his mind.

When he comes to his senses, he'll soon
realise what he's lost.

And he'll come running back.

I don't know if I want him back.

Not after this.

What?

Oh, Alan, I just don't know anything
anymore.

Yeah, you do.

You know you're a kind, clever, smashing
lad who deserves better.

Come on.

Either I go and have a quiet cigarette
or I wait for that Taylor woman to make

one more sarky comment about social
parasites and then I smack her on the

Shall it be long?

Uh -huh.

Exhausted?

Yes. Yes, we'll just keep telling
ourselves we've got the rest of our

together on our own.

And in perfect peace.

Gordon.

You're not, um... You're not expecting
me to give up work after we're married,

are you? Of course not.

Good. Just checking.

See you later.

I say,

I don't suppose you have a light, do
you? Sorry, I don't smoke.

That's the problem with making grand
exits, isn't it?

One can hardly go back in to pick up all
one's things in pieces without looking

a fearful twerp.

So what have you made a grand exit for?

The most ghastly function.

Full of worthy, provincial, tedious
people.

Are you staying in the hotel?

Yeah. I've got a wedding tomorrow.

Oh.

Congratulations. Oh, no, no. I'm the
best man.

Then we obviously have a great deal in
common.

Well, I hope they're enjoying
themselves.

Gives the family the great opportunity
to get to know each other, don't you

think?

Oh, yeah.

They didn't do parties for the ladies in
my day.

Not that I ever... I never had a party
either.

Cheers.

Harold, there simply isn't time for
that. The cars are waiting.

Now then, Mrs. Ormrod and myself will go
in the first car. Jane, you'll bring

the children in the second.

What? I think they'll probably be
happier with me.

Absolutely not, Mrs. Ormrod.

Now... Oh.

I said she'd look lovely in that dress.

I have not eaten flesh for 50 years, and
I do not intend to starve now.

And I can't afford to waste perfectly
good food, Mr Calder. So you'll get it

back at every meal till you do decide to
eat it.

Decision made under duress is no
decision at all.

Please excuse me.

Where do you think you're going?

Well,

you should have thought of that earlier,
shouldn't you? I haven't got time to

mess about with you now.

When you decide to eat your breakfast,
I'll get one of the girls to bring you a

chamber pot.

In the day room.

Rings?

Yes.

For the third time.

For some reason, I never thought I'd
feel this nervous.

It's going to be perfect.

Thanks.

You have got them.

The rings.

By the way, where did you get to last
minute?

to the left and Groves to the right.

I think I'll require an aisle seat.

Do you two know each other?

No, no.

Not really.

You might have at least told me it was
this wedding.

I thought it might be too tedious and
preventive for you.

We'll do that later.

If you like.

Come on, girls. Quickly, quickly,
please.

One, two,

ready, and three.

Ready, love?

What are you doing, you silly old...

What happened?

It's some sort of explosion.

Better get back and alert the hospital.

Just stretch your hair, please!

I've been up at the hospital.

Ken and Alan have gone back to get more
beds. Lizzie's phoning round all the

oxygen staff to get them in.

Now, where am I best? Here or there?
Here. We'll create on the pavement as

we can. All right. Here, boys.

This lady needs oxygen.

Get these cars over to that building as
fast as you can.

They are my wedding cards.

Now, madam, they are my ambulances.

I'll try not to get in your way. Follow
that car.

This one's gone, Doctor.

This man's still alive.

He's been down. I can't get him out.

Right, hang on.

What are you doing?

Right, on three, pull him out, yeah?
Okay. One, two, three!

It's fine.

Thank gracious me.

Any idea what caused the explosion?

It was gas. We haven't found any
fractured pipes yet.

There's nothing left on.

Give me at least 20 minutes for your
people to go in.

Officer, they're in there already.

Get her into a neck brace as soon as you
get her.

Help him. No need.

She's as light as a feather.

This has something to do with her diet.

Inspector Frankie here being a serious
weightlifter. Hey, it's your lucky day,

mate. The only problem pretty is nurses
on for Saturdays.

OK, how are we doing?

It's time for doing a last check, but I
haven't got everybody out. OK.

Hey, that was madness. Let's do a lot of
going in there before we've made it

today. Yeah, well, look, I'm very sorry,
OK?

I need a list of every resident and any
member of staff who might have been

killed or injured in the explosion.

It's not my fault.

Then we'll take that over to the
accountant too, shall we?

Thanks.

I've sent down ten units of O negative
and they're on standby for cross

-searching. Ashfordly General's on major
accident alert as well.

Excellent. And how are we doing for
Ward, Bea?

Three empty beds and Kenny's finding
more. They're making space as fast as

can. Sister!

It's all right.

It's all right.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

OK, is that the best we can do?

It's a lap.

Sister, we've got our every bed and
trolley in the place.

Well, nurse, two more sets of bedding,
please.

Sister! What is it, Mrs Smith?

I think it's time I had a change of
scenery.

Help me into my chair.

Come on, you too, Mrs Garfield.

You can have a broken ankle in the chair
just as well.

They need every bed they can get.

Remember, don't hurt.

Well, just as long as you don't go
singing Annie Vera Lynn songs, all

It's one of the most urgent. Can we get
her into theatre now? Okay.

Are

you all

right? You deal with Mrs. Bennet first.
We're fine here.

Sunday school, aren't we, Annie?

I'm here if you need me.

I know this is a terrible thing to ask.

But could you possibly pretend to be
Catholic for five minutes?

You don't have to perform the rite or
anything, because I'm a desperate old

lady. Comfort is comfort in all its
forms. Can you tell me where it hurts,

please?

Can you tell me where it hurts?

Fractured stone, clavicle, first,
second, third ribs on the left -hand

possible ruptured diaphragm and internal
bleeding.

Can we operate it? Well, we could do,
but an 85 -year -old man in his weakened

condition is most unlikely to survive
the anaesthetic.

Palliative care only.

No, but we have to... Next.

Our first priority must be to help those
who can be helped.

Next patient, please.

Dr Goodwin.

I'll tell you what we'll not do, Mr
Harper.

You flapping around like a dyspeptic
chicken while we're trying to deal with

crisis. But I'm an administrator.

Then act like one.

Right. Make a list of all the old
people's relatives and friends and

them. We're going to need all the
accommodation we can find. Thank you

much. Bye.

I appreciate you doing this, Lizzie.

Well, while I'm in the building, I may
as well make myself useful.

Sorry.

I should have remembered. I can always
rely on you in a real crisis.

If there's anything you need, you know
where I am.

Thank you.

Well... So far, I've managed to bully
eight spare rooms out of my

Good. That'll do for some of the walking
wounded.

Excellent. The trouble is, most of them
are upstairs rooms.

We're going to have a few that won't
have that sort of mobility. Mr.

Middleditch.

What?

I have a three -bedroom bungalow, and I
don't mind sleeping on the sofa for a

bit.

Thank you, Mr. Harper.

That's very kind of you.

We've some good friends here, you know.

We'd do anything for you.

You could talk Dad out of searching for
Dave and belting him.

Now, why would I want to do that?

No more meddling.

Mr. Jameson in Milner. Phone his wife,
explain the situation and tell her we'll

be discharging him a day early.

And you can send the next one in. Right
-o.

I'm sorry, Major. I know it's against
the rules, but...

I'm not used to doing this in high
heels. Very sensible, staff nurse. Give

another ten minutes and I shall probably
do the same.

Thanks.

Go on.

You've earned it.

What's that?

Oh, wow.

That's not it, is it?

It's a good time being, I reckon.

Come on.

Take the weight off your feet for five
minutes.

I'll go and find some more cups.

I reckon there's more like.

I should go and help out on the wards.

Don't you get too comfortable either?

Transfer Liz to Ashfordly General.

All right, 30 seconds at 11.

Here you go.

Good evening.

I'm not at all happy about this, Dr
Webberall.

Right, well, you go clear your office.
We'll move the beds in there, shall we?

Jill!

Excuse me.

Your dress.

Mother, we're in the middle of an
emergency.

Oh, I know, dear.

I just want to know what to tell your
guests.

Will there be a wedding?

Oh, no. Mother, please. For once in your
life, could you just get your

priorities right? The wizard's stupid.

Of course there's not going to be a
wedding. Now, please, I've got work to

Don't begrudge me, boy. It's been a long
day.

I wasn't going to say a word.

Then what?

I was there yesterday.

Sat with this old man who was weeping
for want of a bit of respect.

I looked at the kitchen.

I looked at the sanitation. I could see
it was a tragedy waiting to happen, and

all I did was get one old lady out so I
could look at her bedside.

I'll deal with it tomorrow.

I'll go through the proper channels.

I should have done more.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing, Dr
Goodwin.

We can all reproach ourselves for what
might have been, but we're not psychic.

All we can do is what we can.

Help those who can't be helped.

And you're right.

Sometimes it's not good enough.

I'm afraid we have to learn to live with
that.

Things are going to get better now,
Mavis.

They're going to build us a new home
with big windows and a bit of a garden.

And we'll be able to sit out in the
summer and look out in the winter.

She's, uh... She's gone, Mrs Smith.

I know that.

I must say that for myself as much as
anything.

It doesn't have to be like this, you
know.

My sister -in -law's got a wonderful
flat just outside Nottingham.

The union built it for her.

The union?

The mine workers' union. My brother was
a miner.

They build homes for all their old
people all over the place.

I knew they'd got some in Newcastle. I
used to work there.

Yes, they're everywhere.

And you can be independent if you want
to be. You don't have to get pushed

around.

Oh, well.

What's done is done.

Well, not good, that's me.

We've identified the body as that of Mr
William Calder.

From the position he was in, the fire
officers believed that he committed

suicide by gassing himself.

A spark from faulty wiring ignited the
gas and the rest you know.

These are the other fatalities.

Two members of staff, Sally Hope and
Irene Harris, and 12 elderly

people.

Well, that figure may rise as others
succumb to their injuries.

Meanwhile, we have the surviving 32 of
your residents in our care.

As my doctors report that, apart from
injuries sustained in explosion, most of

the patients exhibit signs of
malnutrition and chronic neglect.

I'm afraid I have no option but to pass
these findings on to both the local

authorities and to the police.

Good day, Mrs Hedges.

I'm OK.

Everyone's being really kind and it's
good to feel useful.

Oh, don't you worry about it. That's my
girl.

How are the kids?

I've told the wedding cars they can go
OK.

That's fine.

No, no, no, no, no, no. That's fine.
That's a good idea.

Oh, well done, Lizzie. You've been a
real trooper today.

Oh, my pleasure.

Ah, so have you. I think we've all done
our bit.

Look, I'm sorry, Mum. There simply was
nothing else we could have done.

OK. Give them all my love.

Speak to you later.

Bye -bye.

So, wedding day, huh?

Any chance of a cuppa?

I've used up all the cups on the old
fork.

Well, maybe it's time for you to open a
wedding present after all.

That's great. Thanks for your help.

Yeah, bye.

Oh.

Did you know the Mine Workers' Union
have built homes for the elderly in just

about every pit town and village in the
country?

Really? Hmm.

Now, with your permission, Matron, I'd
like to set up a meeting with them to

if they can do something to help us
here.

Do you think it's wise to involve our
thousand politics, Dr Goodwin?

Well, I only want them to advise the
local council on how it can be done.

And besides, is it wise to leave the
elderly at the mercy of people like Mrs

Hedges?

Oh, well, I think they're absolutely
terrific.

Oh, I say. Very, um, colourful. Well, of
course.

Clarice Cliff's trademark bold colours.

Who?

Clarice Cliff, the designer.

Very popular in the 30s.

Little old -fashioned now, perhaps,
but... Well, you take care of them.

In a few years' time, they'll be
collector's items. You mark my words.

Shall we go and see if we can find it
another day? Yes.

That was a very good find, Ken.

Isn't that a complete set?

And a dinner set and a rose bowl.

And the collection money covered it all?

Ah, yes, well... Ah, yes.

No, no, no, Kenneth. We cannot have you
being out of pocket.

Will that cover the difference?

Thanks very much, Mr Middleton.

I'm fully booked for the next three
weekends.

Oh, I could do the Friday after that.

Or... No, I'm not sure that's possible.

What is?

Well... There's an odd bit of church law
that says I can only marry people

within the hours of daylight, the
canonical day.

I can't do it after sunset, but by my
reckoning, there's still about

40 minutes of daylight left.

Now, I'm free.

Jill!

Jill!

Come here. What are you doing? Come
here.

Are you going to try and phone your mum?
Oh, no, no, no. Too late. Are you going

to call me also?

How do I look?

You look fabulous.

Come on!

With this ring, I do thee well.

With my body, I do thee well.

With all my wealthy goods.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

For as much as Gordon and Jill have
consented together in holy wedlock, and

witnessed the same before God and this
company, and there too have

given and pledged their troth either to
the other.

and have declared the same by the giving
and receiving of a ring, and by joining

of hands, I pronounce that they be man
and wife together.

In the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Amen.

You may kiss the bride.

This world is a happier place.

And something wonderful to me.
