All language subtitles for Love Hurts s03e07 Time To Go Home

Hi.

What time is it?

Late. Oh, God.

You said it was late.

I keep on saying it starts at five.

I ought to be going, though.

I understand.

Do you, son?

Perhaps he'll explain it all to me one
day.

You didn't do anything you shouldn't
have, Tess. Your virtue is unsullied.

I spent the night with you.

Geographically, yes.

Not sexually.

Nothing happened last night.

Damn it. But I still chose to come here.

To come to home of another man. Why?

You don't know why? Of course I do.

Because last night I wanted to be with
you and not my husband.

Well, there you go.

You know I fancied you the first time I
saw you.

Married people are still allowed to
fancy.

Add the little harmless spice.

But when it stops being harmless, I
mean...

There are more ways of being unfaithful
than sleeping with someone.

Stop being so hard on yourself, Tess.

Sorry.

Not half as sorry as I am.

So what'll you do now?

What'll you tell him?

I don't know, and I don't know.

And you still don't feel like telling me
why you left him last night?

What's between me and Frank?

Frank?

Mike, you still asleep?

Just as well, I suppose.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Mirav.

Yes, of course you can.

Frank, no, he's out.

All right, I'll put the coffee on.

Bye.

Hello?

Hi. That was quick.

Yeah, well, I phoned from around the
corner.

I wanted to make sure Frank wasn't here.

Oh.

Coffee's there.

Milk's in the fridge. I'm afraid we're
out of lox and bagels.

Tessa, what is going on? What do you
mean?

You've spoken to Sam. No, but I've
spoken to Frank. Or rather, he spoke to

Well, yelled.

He assumed you were spending the night
at my place. He wasn't too happy about

it.

I take it you were with my brother?

Oh, God. Don't worry, I didn't
disillusion him. I didn't get the

You should be relieved. You can just
tell him you spent the night in a hotel

pretend nothing happened.

Nothing did.

Yeah, sure.

Do you need a hand?

What I need is to be two stone lighter
or a foot tour, preferably both.

Been on holiday?

I just come back from when I lived here.
Oh, right.

Do

you know what I

hate most about holidays?

Poolside lousy aerobics.

More work? More public.

Every morning, alongside a bunch of
skinny women whose jewellery weighed

than they did. And did I lose an ounce?

Nothing at all.

Rochelle Levy. Thanks, Kaplow.

Who's there? Say hello to Maxie.

Do you like dogs?

Only hot with mustard on it.

Hello, Savaloy, Fred. Listen, you must
join me for a bite one night.

And I don't mean from Bubka.

I'm only here temporary.

Very temporary, I hope.

Temporary or not, you're certainly an
improvement on the last one.

Some mantra -chanting Nebuchadnezzar
with a fibre fixation.

What are your feelings on cheesecake?

I mean, the kind you eat.

Yeah, love it.

It'll take a minute to defrost.

I was just going to Dobbs.

Dobbs? If you're lucky, you get
indigestion. If you're not, you get

Listen, I've seen his kitchens. He's got
cockroaches twice the size of Bubka.

Bubka!

Show the gentleman a seat.

Hi, Minaret.

Hi. Listen, I have to apologise. I'm
sorry. What for? For being so diabolical

the phone.

I was angry at Tessa, not you.

Thank you. It's okay, really.

Back home, then?

Yeah, she's back.

Frank.

Don't worry about it.

She's not about to become another one of
your battered wives, you know.

Hi.

Don't say a word.

Oh, Frank.

Listen, I'm sorry about last night. No,
no, it should be me that should be

apologising. Are you looking for a
friend? Not another one, no.

I mean, I shouldn't have rumbled.

Well, I shouldn't have yelled.

OK.

OK, well, we both acted like a couple of
kids, eh?

Come on.

Let's go and act like grown -ups. I
mean, I shouldn't have gone because...

because it was immature, because we've
unfinished business to sort out.

Still the wine.

What else?

Last night you told me you'd stolen five
million pounds and expected a pat on

the head.

Well, it was wrong 12 hours ago and it's
still wrong.

Have you told Mirab about it?

What? No, of course not.

Will you tell David?

You know I couldn't.

No, I won't tell David. So that's all
right, isn't it?

She'll calm down eventually, won't she?

You're such a bastard, Frank.

But then I shouldn't expect any better,
I suppose.

If I'm so terrible, why'd you marry me?

Because I thought I loved you.

Have you changed your mind?

Love has nothing to do with a mind,
unfortunately.

Look, all right.

I'll find a way to square everything, I
promise.

I've got to go.

We have dinner tonight, eh?

Somewhere special.

First day of the rest of our lives.

All that.

If you say so, Lord and Master.

Oh, he loves you, bless him.

So, where are you from, Max?

Battersea. Near the dog's home.

I used to live in Golders Green when I
was 18 and had a waist.

You here on holiday?

Business. What sort?

You think I'm nosy, don't you?

Dead right.

Wine.

We've just bought a winery. We? You're
not here on your own?

No. I've got Frank.

Oh, what, he schleps the crates, you
make the decisions?

Something like that.

So you don't reckon it's worth
refurbishing, is it?

It would cost too much money.

Sever said it would be cheaper to pull
it down and start over again.

He said it could have fallen on top of
someone any time in the last ten years.

Yeah, that's a shame.

Tessa had set her heart on filling that
villa with refugees.

But it's only her whim, isn't it?

Yeah, as they said about Maggie
Thatcher, she's got a whim of iron.

Look, Alice, palm trees.

And you don't get them in England.

Where did you spring from?

Well, initially my mother's loins, but
today I was just walking.

Even kibbutzniks were allowed to take a
walk.

How's Frank?

Oh, okay.

He thought I spent the night with Miro.

And you didn't disabuse him?

Good thinking.

And what about whatever it was that made
you dash tearfully from the apartment

last night? All fixed?

Some. I just wondered. Yesterday it
looked like it was all over between you,

today it's a happy family.

And do you want to know where you stand?

Tessia, I know I don't stand anywhere.

I know I have no right to ask you
anything or to tell you anything.

Unfortunately, I think I'm in love with
you. And before you say anything, I know

I have no right to tell you that either.

Hello, Maxie. You've been pushing the
boat out? Like I always say, there's no

point in having it if you can't enjoy
it.

And were you shopping?

I'm all right.

A lot of shopping for one. Yeah, well, I
love to cook.

You want to help me eat it? No, I've got
to watch my figure. All those cakes

you've been tempting me with. Listen,
tonight I'm making my award -winning pot

roast. Do you like pot roast? Love it.

Only I'm busy.

Oh, a lady friend?

Not exactly.

It's all right. It's your business, not
mine. We'll do it another time.

No, I didn't mean... No, it's fine.
Listen, I said to you, if we're going to

friends, we've got to be honest with
each other.

Friendship without honesty is like salt
beef without the salt.

Besides, pot roast is even better warmed
up.

Is that the best Israeli wine we've got
here?

I must remember to have a word with the
manager later.

They've got a great wine we should be
buying from.

What's that?

It's not a bomb, is it?

Oh, Frank.

Oh, they're beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

I had a word with David about the villa.

The villa and the wine or the villa and
the refugees?

The villa and the refugees.

And we can have it?

No.

No, it's not practical, Tess. What?

Well, it's falling down. I mean, it's
not safe. I nearly got killed in that

cellar. Stealing David's wine. No,
listen. So that's you off the hook. I'm

trying to get off the hook.

Look, how much would it cost to find
somewhere else for the refuge?

Somewhere sound you can do up.

I don't know.

Well, why don't you find out? Let me
know.

Are you serious?

Yes. Guilt money?

If you like.

Care? Is this what you meant when you
said you'd square everything?

It's what you wanted, isn't it?

I wanted you to tell David about the
wine.

I couldn't do that. Tess, you know that.

Maybe.

A moment of naive hope.

Well, I did think about turning in.

Honestly.

For a second.

But then I thought, well, how can I?

Even if I wanted to. I mean, it would
make him look a complete idiot.

So you protected his tender feelings.

You're all hard.

Tessa, I admit it was wrong to take the
wine. I admit it was wrong to sell it. I

admit it was wrong to keep the money.

I'll even let you put an ad in the
personal column of the Times saying I'm

thieving louse.

But that's our sod you money, Tessa.

Family insurance.

And for you to ask me to give it back, I
mean, that's inhuman.

Very nice to see you. Very nice.

Tessa.

How are you?

Fine.

Are you and Frank still... Don't worry,
I'm still Mr. Carver. That's not me.

It's a damn no.

He knows.

How did he take it?

Like a man, naturally.

Good. I don't want to see him get hurt.

Meaning I do? No.

Nobody wants to hurt anybody, but they
do.

Hi.

Any news about the villa? Yes,
apparently it's too decrepit to be

Oh, shit!

But Brian's offered to fund the refuge
if he can find somewhere else.

That's terrific.

That's brilliant.

But does he know how much it's going to
cost?

He said he'll pay, he'll pay. Okay,
okay.

Boy, he must have made a lot more on
that vineyard deal than I figured.

Chopped liver.

Freshly made.

There's more inside.

A quarter of a million shekels, say, for
the property. The same a year running

cost. Let's say a million dollars for
the first two years.

Frank said he'd pay for the place, but
he's not going to write an open check,

and I wouldn't ask him. Oh, still the
loyal wife, huh?

The plan before Bound Black fired me was
to find some way to make the refuge

self -supporting, and it's still a good
idea.

What do you suggest?

A human zoo? Let tourists come and go?

It can be anything you want.

A handicraft center, maybe. We set one
up in Senegal a couple of years ago.

successful. And it did wonders for the
self -respect of the people. I think we

should talk to the Ethiopian women. See
what they feel about it.

What about other funds?

Charities? The government?

We've already made an application.

Good. So the most important thing is to
find the right location.

Tessa, who elected you chair of this
committee?

Sorry, am I being too pushy? No, it's
okay.

You're good.

Very good.

You know, their favorite food is a
substitute for sex.

But me and Speed, we had a marvelous sex
life and I still love to press.

You're not gay, are you, Max?

No, I'm bloody not.

I don't mind if you are, to each his
own.

Why would you think I might be?

Well, you've never married, you've
always lived with your mother, and when

asked you the other day if you were
seeing a lady friend, you were evasive.

Oh, that was Alice.

Alice?

Frank's Alice.

She's four months old.

I babysit her sometimes.

Well, most of the time, actually.

You're Frank's babysitter?

I thought you were his boss.

Not quite.

I'm more his chauffeur and gopher and
general dog's buddy.

He's the one with the brains, not me.

Go on then, laugh.

I'm not laughing.

You may have the brains, Bubala, but
you've got the heart.

Of course, there's always Regent's Park.

Get a nice little flat overlooking the
giraffe house, central but leafy.

As long as it's downwind of the giraffe.

Maybe we get a nice little country house
in Oxfordshire.

Eh? I mean, we'd pick up a smashing
little Queen Anne rectory for half a

million.

I could join the hunt, you could become
a saboteur.

I like it in Chiswick.

Yes, I know, but we can afford better.

We don't need better.

Anyway, I want to stay here and help get
the refuge together.

Yes, OK.

And you really did tell them that they
shouldn't depend on me for all of the

money? Well, Mirab's already a bit
suspicious about how you're able to

offer so much on the strength of one
vineyard.

Exactly.

Hello?

Yes, yes, he is.

Anthony Trayton.

Whoever he is.

Hello, Tony.

No, no, that's all right.

Nothing important.

Really?

How much?

Yes, obviously.

OK, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Yeah. Good night.

Well, how about that, then?

What?

Well, you know I'm negotiating to buy
this hi -fi shop.

Oh, are you? Yeah.

Well, apparently the whole chain's in
trouble.

The bloke that owns it bought himself a
football club last year.

Lost a fortune.

Could end up with nine prime sites and
change over three million.

Do you want to become a shopkeeper, do
you?

No, of course not.

But I dare say I know a few people that
might.

Mario?

Yeah, Frank Carver.

If I'd have had a little girl, I was
going to call her Miranda.

You never? Nah, only Bob Carver.

How long do you think you're staying in
Israel, Matt?

Dunno. Frank and Beth have seemed pretty
relaxed about things.

She's got her refugee project. He's got
his poser phone.

This morning he was sitting on his
balcony throwing muttlers at the

flogging a chain of hi -fi shops to some
Italian.

You know, that's just like my feet.

Always busy, always something on the go.
And so single -minded.

Yeah. The first time he ever met me, he
said, that's the girl I'm going to

marry. Mind you, I only had one chin in
those days.

I think you're still very attractive.

Listen, I'm a short, fat, middle -aged
woman who talks too much and eats too

much. But at 18, believe me, I could
turn a head or two. I believe you.

No, I do.

You're a sweetheart, you know that?

How long have you been a widow?

Two years.

He was on his annual reserve duty. He
was killed in a border clash a week

his 40th birthday.

That's tough.

I was lucky. I had the love of the most
wonderful man for over 20 years.

You see, the thing about love is most
people don't value it until they've lost

it. Hey, cheer up.

It's too nice a day.

Very right.

How come you never married then, Max?

Dunno. Had me chances.

I think Mum just made it too easy for me
not to leave home.

Mothers, they're all the same.

Would you describe yourself as a
cautious person, someone afraid to take

Me? No.

Not really.

You want to risk my driving again?

Ah.

The thing is, I can't really close this
door from here.

Okay. And apart from all the paperwork,
well,

there's this fabulous little country
house hotel thing coming up.

It's a fabulous prize, Tess.

Word is it's going to get a Michelin
star.

It'll be a great showcase for the wine.

What?

You said you were going to slow down.

What? When you were justifying your wine
pool.

You said the money would let you take
things easier.

Spend more time with your family.

Well, that's what I'm doing, isn't it?

Here we are, you, me and Alice, all
enjoying a party.

You didn't really expect me to retire,
did you?

Not really.

I just wondered how long it would take
before you got bored with being laid

back.

You don't mind about going back, then?

You're only going for a couple of days,
aren't you?

No, no, I mean all of us.

Frank, you know I can't.

The refuge, it's really important to me.

Okay.

I'll just have to go back on my own,
won't I?

I can't compete with a busload of
battered Ethiopian women, can I?

If you put it like that, no, you can't.

What, for eating all your chopped liver?

Ah, for coming with me to Jerusalem.

Oh, thank you.

You know, much as I love Bubka, he's not
the world's greatest conversationalist.

Well, some women have been known to call
me boring.

I'm not one of them, Matthew.

So, if you're lonely here, why not go
back to England?

Because it's at home now. This is where
my memories are.

You're now, what, 38?

Sure do. I'm 42.

Too young to live on memories for the
rest of your life.

I'm going to write a wish and leave it
in the wall with all the others.

I thought they were prayers.

Well, a wish, a prayer, is there any
difference?

Maxie, what are you doing? This is the
women's section, that's the men's.

Max?

Well, I've never been here before.

I thought we'd be the same as church.

You mean you're not Jewish?

C of E, I think.

Shell?

I never said I was Jewish.

You never said you weren't.

Well, why does it matter?

If you're not Jewish, you wouldn't
understand.

No, really.

I didn't think he'd see us right away.

Come on, the way you marched into his
office, his secretary was probably too

terrified to stop you. Yes, well...

Catching funds from the government.

Am I persuasive or am I unbelievably
persuasive?

You'd better calm down before you
explode with self -congratulation. It

like Frank won't have to donate so much
now.

No need to tell him that.

I don't want to be a wet blanket.

Anyone who wakes Alice up, put her back
to sleep.

Hello?

What's the matter?

My God, when?

Yeah, of course.

I'll come right away.

What?

It's Grace.

What happened?

I just found out to see how she was.

I was going to tell her we'd be back in
a few days.

Somebody called Selma, I answered.

Yeah, his next -door neighbour.

Told him about his mum.

It was her heart.

I'm sorry, Max.

How did it happen so quick?

She was all right when I left.

I only phoned her the other night.

I should have been there, Frank.

I've got to get back. Come on, Max. Come
on, look.

Now, come on. I'm going to get plenty.

It's arranged first thing tomorrow, I
promise.

Are you coming too?

Of course.

I think it's time we all went home.

All right, I'm going to sleep.

How is he?

Oh, he's pretty cut up.

Well, so am I, you know.

Grace was like a mother to me, too.

Sounds terribly corny, doesn't it?

It's true.

I know.

I'm going to try and get flights for us
tomorrow.

For all of us.

Of course.

Got us on the LL flight this afternoon.

Have you spoken to Max about the
funeral?

No, not yet.

I'll have to make all the arrangements
when we get back.

He's gone to pieces.

Poor Max.

Not on his own, is he?

No, he's got that Shelley keeping an eye
on him.

Right, well, that's me packed. I'll make
some coffee.

Packed? What are you talking about,
packed? What about all this stuff?

Well, we're only going for a week or so.
Besides, I've plenty of clothes in

London. No, no, Tess.

When I said I was going to get tickets
for all of us...

I mean, one -way tickets. Tickets to go
home.

What? Yeah, well, we talked about it the
other day.

No, no, no. The other day we talked
about you going home for a few days to

some hi -fi shops, buy a hotel, give the
Chancellor some math lessons.

Just for a few days. I wasn't going.

Yeah, but only because you told me that
the refuge plan was at a critical stage.

It is.

Was. It isn't now.

Well, you've got your government
contribution. You've got a licence to

It's all over by the shouting.

That's what you and Mirab were doing
last night.

But I'm still involved, Frank.

Yeah, only because you want to be, not
because you need to be.

Oh, I see. So because my involvement
with the refuge is merely interesting

fulfilling, it doesn't matter.

Did I say that?

Look, I was quite happy to let you get
involved with the refugees.

Let me.

Let me.

I'm not a child or a dog that has to
follow you around.

The refuge is important, Frank. It may
save lives.

Yeah, well, good. I'm pleased to hear
it, since I'm putting up most of the

money.

You've just been humouring me, haven't
you?

All this time you've been letting me get
involved with Mirav and the refugees

has just been your way of placating me.

Placating you for what?

For ripping off David Benari, of course.
Or have you already wiped that from

your memory bank? Jesus, that's done.

And what's done can't be undone.

It's history.

Look. This is not our home, and the
refugees are not your problem.

We live in London, England, in a fairly
nice house, which you like more than me.

And that's where we should be. We came
to Israel to do a deal, not to take our

citizenship.

You just don't understand, do you?

Apparently not.

I may have signed a marriage contract,
but there wasn't any clause in it that

said Frank Carver was head of the
household and Tessa Carver had to do

he says.

You want to go home?

So that's it. Fait accompli. Where's the
duty, pre -shop?

Well, I'm sorry, Frank, I'm not playing.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Marion.

Yeah, yeah, look, I can't talk about
that now.

Do you mind?

Don't worry, we'll be back in London
tomorrow.

Where are you going?

Yes, yes, well, let's talk about it
then, all right?

Have a nice day.

Bye.

Tessa?

You looking for Frank?

No, I'm looking for you.

Got the ticket?

Three o 'clock past.

Plenty of legroom?

I don't care about the legroom, Frank. I
just want to get back home.

What time's the flight?

One leaves at 5 .30.

Cutting it a bit fine.

Yeah, well, thing is, Max, I'm going to
have to delay our departure till

tomorrow. What?

But Mum... Yeah, well, don't worry about
that.

I phoned a very good funeral director.
He's going to look after our property

till we get home.

Well, why don't you want to go today?

Stumbled over some ruined garage full of
priceless old bugattis, have you?

All right, I'll go on my own. No, no,
no, come on.

Look, I've got to stay because of Tessa.

Eh?

She's gone.

Gone? What, as in left you?

Temporarily.

Ah, the wine deal.

No, no, not really.

Look, she'll be back tomorrow, I
promise.

Where's she gone?

I don't know.

Mirav's, I suppose.

Trouble is, they've left the answer
machine on, so no -one's picking up.

I'm going to have to go round there.

Sorry, mate.

I'll be OK.

Fly out tomorrow?

Definitely. Of course we are.

You'll

be

all right, won't you?

Of course you will.

It didn't do it any harm slipping away
from her parents, did it? Don't worry,

she'll be just fine.

Do you ever miss LA?

Only when I have a sudden urge to
breathe smog.

Would you miss London if you stayed?

Probably.

But then you can't smell the orange
trees in Chiswick.

It was a serious question, Tess.

I was afraid of that.

It's a terrific sauce.

One of Frank's recipes.

What Frank cooks?

He has one or two culinary... Is it two?
Yes, two.

Tricks to impress women.

He used to cook them a fancy meal.

Then they thought they were going to bed
with a new man, rather than being

seduced by a wolf in right -on clothing.

Did he cook you into bed?

Not quite.

My mother raved about his kedger,
either.

What's she like, your mother?

She died.

I'm sorry.

Mine too.

What was she like?

An old -fashioned, grey -permed mother
-mother.

Not, let's have a chat about our
orgasms, mother -mother.

So I take it you two weren't that close
then?

We were getting closer.

I hope there's nothing Alec and I won't
be able to talk about.

Like this little episode?

Is it an episode?

This time I tried to go to Mirav's place
first. I know.

I know, and then you came here.

So whatever it is that made you walk out
on Frank, it obviously hasn't been

fixed yet.

Oh, it's so many things.

It's not more complicated than that.

It usually is.

Maybe one of my mistakes was to think
that once Frank had made his pile, he'd

change.

Stop chasing deals.

Does anybody really ever change that
much?

I don't know if they want to.

I want to.

And you did.

You gave up the law to come and live on
a kibbutz.

Giving up the law was no hardship for
me, Tessa.

Maybe not, but out here things seem so
different.

Oh, they are.

But it's not perfect.

At least there's a common purpose.

There are possibilities.

Conversations like this... I never have
conversations like this with Frank.

Only arguments.

Sometimes arguments can be fun.

But don't you need someone you can agree
with at least some of the time?

Well, personally...

I couldn't agree more.

Yeah?

Hi, Mirab.

It's Frank.

Frank, what's up?

I need to speak to Tessa.

Tessa?

It's Tessa.

How many runaway wives are you harboring
up there?

Okay, Frank, just a sec. I'll be right
down.

I'm sorry.

She doesn't want to talk to you.

This is stupid, Mirev. I've got to talk
to her. She can't keep walking away like

this. Frank, why don't you go home?

I mean, there's no point in having a
fight at this hour. You come up, you'll

wake up Alice.

I don't want a fight.

I want a wife.

But please, you tell her, eh? We've got
to talk, Mirev.

Tomorrow morning, all right?

Okay, I'll tell her.

Sam, it's me. Let me speak to Ted, then.

I'm sorry you got involved.

Yes, I understand.

Okay, bye.

May I give you a bad time?

You can hardly blame her. That's twice
she's had to lie for me.

Are you going to tell Frank?

In the morning.

What are you going to say to him?

About what? Come on, you know what I
mean.

I don't know what I'll say.

I'd better make up a spare bed.

No, it's okay.

Tit?

Still AWOL, is she?

Yeah,

it's still early.

It'll be okay.

Better be, because I can't stay after
today.

Not with Mum laid out on her tod in some
strange undertaker's.

Yeah, I know.

Have you had breakfast?

Didn't want any.

Can't think why.

Well, at least have some coffee, eh?

Max, look, I know it's rough, but at
least you had graceful you were past 50.

Frank, please.

Yeah, but think about it. I mean, how
old was I when I lost my mum? 18, 19?

What do you want from me, Frank?

Pity?

Yeah, I'm sorry, mate.

About time.

Now, this is stupid, Tessa.

Do you want me to come and collect you,
or will you get a taxi?

You're where?

Tessa?

Why are you doing this?

When Frank arrives, I don't want to be
sitting passively waiting for him. I

to be doing something, something
worthwhile.

I see, like picking oranges?

Someone's got to do it.

But it's not what you want to do for the
rest of your life, is it?

I don't know what I want to do.

I'm trying to work out what I don't want
to do.

Tessa?

Tessa, what the hell is going on? I
thought you were at Mirab's.

I went there. She wasn't in, so I came
here.

Sam put us up.

Oh, really?

That's not the cleverest career move,
Sam.

How many bedrooms you got?

When Tessa moved in, I moved out.

Oh, yeah.

Frank, for God's sake.

What?

What? For God's sake, what?

You and him.

How long?

How long have you been screwing my wife?
Frank, it wasn't like that. I know

exactly how it was.

That's why you didn't want to come home,
isn't it?

Is that why you've been so bloody
difficult to live with lately? Frank, it

happened.

Bastard!

Frank, come on. Stop it.

Stop it.

David. Frank, good to see you.

David, I want Sam sucked.

What?

Why? He's the best winemaker in Israel.
Well, then get another one in from

France, Australia, Milton bloody Keynes.

But what has he done to you?

You mean you don't know?

Uh -huh.

It was obvious he was attracted to your
wife. I didn't know she felt the

same way.

I didn't know she was distressed.

Me neither.

Of course. Since you are the senior
partner, if you insist Sam must go, then

must go.

If you think that's the answer.

If you want vengeance more than you want
your wife and child back.

Just because it's Israel, why does
everybody go around delivering bloody

sermons?

Max!

Can we talk? Try and get things sorted
out without a slangy match?

That sounds civilised.

I am civilised. Just you didn't notice.

That's not how I would describe your
behaviour yesterday.

Oh, come on, Tessa.

What do you expect me to do?

Shake Sam's hand and say, OK, the best
man won?

Isn't exactly how I thought it would be.

You expected bare scrub and primitive
shacks.

I don't know.

A bit more basic, I suppose.

It was 50 years ago.

They made all this happen by hard work
and determination.

Yes, I know.

They made the desert bloom.

I've read the tourist guides, too.

That must be true.

First settlers conquered the desert.
Second wave stole my wife.

You in love with him?

Not sure. I might be.

You're out of love with me?

It's just... You're always so certain
there's only one way.

Your way.

Well, being out here has thrown a new
light on everything.

For God's sake, Tessa, we're a family.
Isn't that important to you?

I mean, we're supposed to try to get
through things, not just walk away from

them. You can't keep doing this to me,
Frank.

Using this myth of the ideal family to
whip me back into line.

What's the point of being part of a
family if it's not a happy one?

When it's more fun to shack up with a
suntan Californian dropout.

I don't know what will happen between
Sam and me.

But if Sam never existed...

I still wouldn't be able to stay with
you.

Not the way things have been lately.

I need time. I need some space.

Straight out of Woman's Guardian, that.

It's how I feel.

What about Max?

Where is he?

He left yesterday. Look, I've got to get
the flight today, with you or without

you. He can't cope on his own.

I know.

But you aren't coming.

I can't.

Not right now.

Here's your ticket.

I hope you decide to use it.

What about Alice?

She stays with me, naturally.

Naturally.

I'm only the father. What rights do I
have?

Don't, Frank.

Son. Everything never suited you.

Thank God.

You've still got a mouth on you.

I've got a plane to catch.

See you in London.

So you better run and hide, but
remember,

love hurts you just the same.

Love hurts you just the same.
