21 to 19

Three games out of four

What do I get?

The boot?

That's right

Turn it down

Christ, it's bloody freezing

It's bloody arctic

What are you wearing tonight?

What would you suggest?

Something that'll last
until 4:00 in the morning

I'm not staying until 4:00 in the morning
I have to work tomorrow

then wear something orthodox, like a suit

Could you answer me just one question?

Is it black tie or isn't it?

how should I know?

And I know she will say that some are wearing black ties, some are not

All very democratic And all a big waste of time

don't be so stuffy

pussycat

It's too small

You must have had a dwarf in mind

A peacock

Let's go somewhere on our own tonight

Gladys will have a fit

my darling

And I'm so glad to see you

Forgive me, will you? I must get a drink

Zee! My angel

How pretty you look

You too, darling

You're such a wonderful color

Robert told me you've been to Spain for a week

When did you get here?

about two drinks ago

out there someplace

thanks. They're fake

Yes,you know

Insurance, you know

Listen, if you're really looking for him the last time I saw him

he was lurking behind a potted palm over there

I must go and find him

Something

I bet you don't know what the word "byssus" means

No, I don't actually and I don't care

Beard. Having long, silky byssus or beard

how exciting

Now, I wanted your advice

There's some very interesting African sculptures

come up for auction at Sotheby's

They're Nigerian, in point of fact

but I think they'd be divine for the rose garden

Yes

and afterwards we'll have a very smart lunch at Burke's

Well, are you sure now?

Because last week when you said that

There is a lady behind you in a silver dress. Who is she?

No, the other side, the other side

that's darling Stella

Darling Stella?

Can you effect an introduction?

Of course

and were getting eight hours sleep a night?

That was during one of my fits of depression

You're a naughty boy

No, no, no. She owns a boutique

You know, oriental tat

Stella, dear

There's someone who doesn't know you

I thought you said this was going to be a small gathering

No, no, darling

This is Robert

Robert Blakeley

Do you need a bodyguard?

No, I don't think so

Well, now that I've broken the ice, I'll circulate

And don't forget your promise to call

What is this?

It's got a dent in it

I believe I bit it

really? Do you bite everything?

No, usually not

Are you a lady of leisure?

I'm afraid not

I have a shop where I design dresses

you could tell me

Would you say that I am a particularly well-dressed man?

No, not particularly

Don't you think

Clothes are a very personal thing

That's what I mean

I think she looks like a bag of bones

Do you?

I have no idea

Well, I think I'll find out

Blakeley

I say, Blakeley. Your game next

Perhaps I could come to your shop and you could do me some shirts

Most of my designs are for women.

Couldn't you make an exception in my case?

Perhaps

You would love my family

What makes you think I like doctors?

you know, I mean, it just shows

He's an architect

He develops properties, things like that

I've heard of him

it's not easy
being married to a giant

Or a dwarf

It's not easy either way

Blakeley. Look, if you can't come

I'll come right now

billiards

Do you play?

Nor do I

Ping-Pong is my sport. Robert says it's because it's more aggressive

Would you like to go watch them?

Fine, if you like

Good shot

I really cannot stand this room

It gives me the creeps

Have you ever noticed how Gladys always has one of everything?

One actor, one painter, one faith healer?

But we all come and guzzle her champagne

She guzzles out of a silver mug. Crafty

You know, you can't get through to her after 11:00 in the morning

All her words begin to go, sort of

You know she asks Robert his advice about everything?

Even having her face lifted

It'll be my turn soon for that

now you know who to ask

Me

but I like your face

Your shadows

Marvelous

We should have brought our embroidery

I hope he doesn't lose

He's a bad loser

Do you know that he didn't even buy me my wedding ring?

Borrowed his sister's

Do you know what one of them was?

A collapsible leather waste-paper basket

Yucky green leather

Did you get nice wedding presents?

I eloped

Where is he?

He's in the country

Yes. Two boys

there you are, my darlings

How nice to see you're getting along

You know
this room has always had a special quality for me

It's a man's room

Something they don't build into houses anymore

Yes. Thank God

What did you say?

I was just telling her about myself

You know, she told me

that she's prone to weeping if anything nice happens to her

Stella?

Are you all right?

open the door then

What's upset you?

Nothing. Really

If I call

Robert! We're all going dancing

I'm not going dancing

no. Me want me Bobby in me arms

I'll call you tomorrow

All right, I'm coming

Bugger

Yes, my little pussycat

because you're not persuading me to do anything

You're not persuading me

We are not going dancing

It's getting late

You see that?

That is the first time in years that I've worn a watch

That's what you've done to me

I've waited all day to see you

What do you want to eat?

I feel I ought to warn you

I only eat the choicest things apart from cabbage

really? Zee likes that too

I knew we had something in common

Is there anything else?

I don't know that yet, do I?

People never want to admit they were in love once it's over

How they sat on a bench and waited or danced all night

Or went for a walk in the frost

blew on someone's fingers

Everyone has two types

How can you tell?

And by the touch

And by the eyes

The windows of the soul

Come on, let's go

A hummingbird

A pretty one

wrap yourself up. It's very cold

Do you like to be kissed there?

Liar

I lied to your wife

I told her my husband was in the country

Whereas, in fact, he's dead

And a liar

Where are we going to eat?

do you want me to take you to dinner or do you want to cook me an egg?

I don't know

Why don't you cook me an egg, eh?

Because you can't cook

You know how it is

You get over being young and then suddenly you're young again

I wish that we had met in a different place

On a quiet road in the country or a rainy afternoon in a tearoom

Robert Blakeley, you said

here I am

I told you we'd meet again

Some lunch

I just love eating in between meals

You know, I saw a funny thing just now

with six or seven women opposite him, all Indian

What do you think they were?

No, I mean their relationship

Sisters, maybe

I wish I had a sister

I love your shop

I bet you can't guess why I'm here

I'm not clairvoyant today

Well, I want you to dress me from head to toe

excuse me, madam

Yes, do

Boys as well

what a pretty thing

but I'm afraid that one's sold, madam

That never deterred me, dear

What are you?

I'm a 12

Don't want everyone to know
you're a 12, do you?

Why not?

I'm proud of it

Real men don't like skinny women

They only think they do

because they're supposed to look better in clothes

But what happens when the clothes come off

and you climb between the sheets on a cold winter night?

Then they like to know they're with a real

I suppose it's all right if you're a fashion model or something

but you can't expect a man to make love
to a picture in a magazine.

Well, of course, there are men who do make

some sort of love to the pictures

But, honey, they're only interested in the pictures, not the women themselves

Crikey, who's going to do this up for me?

Your husband

Ah, but what happens when I'm not with him?

Or he's not with me?

what do you think?

No, no, it just doesn't fit

the neck's too big

It's meant for somebody else

I want it

Gavin

Bring a pad, will you?

You know, I'm terribly lucky

Robert and I get along better than anyone we know

Keep still, will you?

We go coasting along

We don't ask questions

It's not that we have

it's just that we

Bust, 39

I'm not dependent on him and he's not dependent on me

We're, inter-dependent

Shoulder to waist, 60

can I have it by the weekend?

I don't know

I suppose so, yes

Can you deliver it?

Yes, we can deliver it

No, I don't have your address

Stella, please, can I have credit?

I'm a little overdrawn

I think we can risk that

We do have enough of that material

Yes, I'm sure we've got some upstairs

You'd better phone Reynolds

see if they have any

He's a bit on the thrifty side

once he sees the dress

When he knows it's yours

That's sweet

Mustn't take what isn't ours, must we?

Bye-bye, love

Are you going?

I have to change and shave before I go to the office

I suppose I should have those things here for you

I'm not a very good mistress, am I?

You're not my mistress

We're still lovers

I'll call you this afternoon

My sons are coming back
So you won't have to make excuses tomorrow

I never make excuses

And now you're beginning to sound like a mistress

Good morning, darling.

Here we are.
Isn't that a lovely breakfast?

I got it out of the newspaper's
suggestions for today

it's so nice to be domesticated

How do you feel about going
to the theater?

I don't.

You know you can't go at each other
every night

I mean

It's only wearying

When it goes against the grain

Do you watch her make fruit salad?

That would be one of her trump cards

I can always tell the kind of cow who has a footstool

She suggests that you open a fish stall

I can just see it all

You spread out on a goatskin rug recalling your childhood memories

Your traumas, your poverty

How you never got to see your mother cause she had to go out and scrub

And, of course, she's a good listener

Then soon you'll have to listen to her little cantata

Alone, not understood

And good, so very, very good

It's a little bit archaic, you know

Miss Adventuress

It's all a bit archaic, you know

Why don't you make a record?

You know, you're in a muddle

Her, and all those adoring little apprentices down in your office

with their hair and their tiny tits and their drooling

And there's me

Why don't you take a lover?

Is that what you recommend?

I'll take care of the meals

and any other expense he may incur

But, darling

I mean, you go quite mad

You start ringing people up and going through my things

You check my panties and you come out in all those little white spots

Doesn't enhance you, you know

Remember last month

when I came in that hired car to that bloody banquet?

And you were waiting for me on the steps

All hot and bothered, weren't you?

and it took me a moment to get out and you thought the worst

You thought we were finishing something off

And you had to have me

Didn't you?

Didn't you?

And you love it

That's why you're still here

You love the uncertainty

You don't know who I was with or what I got up to

You don't know what I'm going to do today and nor do I

Enjoy yourself

I have, baby

I had a thing with a doctor in Spain

I love doctors

He said to me

He was very good-looking

His waiting room was full of patients

We could hear them on the other side of the wall

We had to whisper

They couldn't hear his lips

They couldn't hear him touch me and caress me

He was so gentle when he touched me

And he was panting

Panting

Panting, panting

And?

baby

I don't want to be the cause of all those terrible white spotties

You had it off with him on the floor

The good old utility couch with people on the other side

Unfortunate people

And you gave the doctor one of your quick jabs

You swept the unfortunate man right off his feet

It's a good job you can't conceive

otherwise I would be maintaining an orphanage

But you always get them like that

You always get them like that

A quick bang before they know where they are

A punch in the face

But you don't keep them, do you?

You can't keep them

You can't keep the love of a man. Right?

I'm keeping you, baby!
- Yes?

no, you're bloody well not

You son of a bitch

And what the hell is going on now?

I thought I'd go back to Spain
for a couple of days

and maybe have a little physical check-up

I suppose you think that's very funny

I think we both need a vacation shot

You just came back from Spain a week ago

And you can tell that bag of bones of yours

she can cancel that lousy dress I bought yesterday

And just where do you think I get the money

for you to go to Spain every time you feel like it?

Quite frankly

If you ever get anything in your eye

you put salt water into it

And then you close your eye
and it makes it tear a lot

And then the thing comes out

You mightn't be able to

One of the boys in our dormitory cries at night and eats nuts

His parents are in Rio de Janeiro

How do you comfort him?

And things like that

His name's really Crispin

Do you like school, Shaun?

I like home better

All the boys at school
used to call me Muggins

So I went out and I bought a hamster

A vicious hamster with vicious teeth

And I took it into school and I showed it to all the other boys

And none of them ever called me Muggins again

I think you should go to bed

Come on, school tomorrow

Come off it

I won't be long

Come on, Oscar

Who nicked my toothbrush?

Will you sleep?

But I doubt it

I hope you enjoyed my family

I'm sorry it wasn't much of an evening

I think your boys are charming little men

Where will you go now?

When's she coming back?

I don't know.
She'll be away for a few days

Tomorrow night

My housekeeper will cook us dinner

And we'll be alone, the two of us

You must go

Must I? Must I?

Say whatever it is you have come to say

Mrs. Blakeley is downstairs

Your wife is downstairs

My what is where?

Why the hell didn't you tell me before?

What time is it?

She insisted I came to tell you

Tell her I've gone away

I've already told her you were working but didn't want to be disturbed

You bungle everything, don't you?

Well, would you like to tell her that you were misinformed?

No

Damn it

would you do me one favor and get your glasses repaired?

They're beginning to get on my nerves

Get a pair on the bloody National Health

Do you think I've got money to burn

while you go flying off to Spain for one night?

it was cold and it was wet

Just what the hell did you expect me to do? Just sit there and

No, I

and look at the rain?

No

you must have had a rough day today

No, I had a very good day

Did you?

I tried to call you all

there was no answer

I was out

Where do you want to eat?

Why, home, darling

I don't think there's a lot to eat at home

we'll find something

We could go over to Gladys

I wouldn't dream of that, darling

Look, I think there's something I should tell you

later, darling, when we're at home

I'm too tired to listen even

Intimate, a deux

What are we having?

Or should I say

And a note from our trusted housekeeper

Dear Sir Robert

Sir?

The joint is in the oven
and should be ready at 8:30

Hope everything is to your satisfaction

Our ex-housekeeper hopes everything
is to your satisfaction

Quite a wit our Mrs

I always was warned of the Irish

Really?

Our mystery caller

It's no mystery to me, baby

Bobby, seriously

Would you like me to make myself scarce?

Why, if it isn't darling Stella

What a lovely surprise

Let me take your cloak

And what is that?

Our first course

Pâté

Did you make it yourself?

Yes

I told you she would know how to cook

Did you take quantities of belly of pork and veal

and oddments from wild duck and pheasant

and juniper berries and

Carcasses and all that?

Will you shut up?

I wasn't being vicious, was I?

I don't know

Were you?

Would you like a martini?

Make the lady some martini, Booby

Your hands are cold

They'd all gone home to their tea

He tried to charge me double

Are you, Stella?

Of course not

She's a Celt from the top-of-the-morning country

Actually I have Spanish blood

Ta

Robert collects fish

He has a whole collection

They're puffers and walking fish and flying fish

and kissing fish and scavengers

and barracuda and, piranha

You know, they eat other fish and cows and things like that

They're Robert's favorite fish

He never said they were his favorite

Robert loves the sea

He never said he loved the sea either

So he doesn't love the sea

Did you have some lovely fittings?

I didn't go near the shop

My boys were going back to school

How old are they?

Twins?

you didn't tell me

I sat next to a man at dinner one night

whose wife had just given birth to twins

And he said
You haven't lived until you have seen a woman breastfeed twins

Evidently his wife would lie sprawled on the bed

a tit in either direction

and it was just evidently fantastic

I didn't have enough milk

You know

I think it was a Pyrenees sheepdog

that had 14 puppies and only 12 tits

Isn't nature cruel?

Twelve out of 14's not so cruel

the twins have survived anyway

I wish I'd met them

Wouldn't you like to chew on a bone?

What a good idea

Why don't you take us to our favorite restaurant?

With people around

I'll go get my clobber, okay?

Gaps?

I didn't notice any gaps

Did you?

Chasms

Well, I'm ready

Bobby darling

We do have our little economies

You know, we used to have our correspondence addressed here

One, One day at lunchtime

It was just a grotty little pearl

He comes from Parma

And the ham

The boys go back today?

I wish I had been with you to see them off

I bet neither one of you know about Parma violets

Even if we did, we wouldn't deprive you of the pleasure of telling us

Well, they're very delicate and they're what people give

when they want to give something really special

When they're in love or someone dies, or

Ah, yes. Now let me see

I think

How about cannelloni?

Then we should have

Sounds fine

Melon and Dover sole

Melon and Dover sole

I think he's frightened of getting an ulcer

Everyone seems to have them these days

Mind you, it wouldn't surprise me

I mean

bacon

Don't you try and dissuade him?

sure, sure

It's his background, really

I mean, from what he tells me

When it wasn't bread and dripping

I mean

I'm sure when I feed him a proper meal at home

he just goes straight out and has one of those huge luncheons

of sausages and chips and all the rest of it

Excuse me

If he wants to get fat and ruin his constitution

and get a pot belly, well, let him.

I mean, there's nothing I can do about it, is there?

I mean, if somebody has decided to do something

they can't be stopped, can they?

Gino

allow me, sir

this most marvelous material

I don't know

Why, that bastard

If that isn't just like a man to run out

Are you terribly upset?

Not particularly

Did you want to have a good cry?

I want to eat

tomorrow I'll get him to send you some Parma violets

My husband isn't in the country

He's dead

I know

Why didn't you say so?

I didn't want to put you on the spot

Anyway, you ran out of the room to cry or throw up or something

So, you're on the loose?

Not completely

You know

we would have been good friends

You'd have been perfect

I might not

I got expelled from school

What did you do wrong?

That's all right. Keep it

I'm sorry I left

You don't have to explain

I've already told you that I didn't know she was coming back

She just appeared at the office

You're both so great at appearing and disappearing

But it's your little inferno and it's all very brittle

and boring and trite

Boy, you're a pain in the arse, you know that?

No, just superior

Can't I come in?

let me put you to bed

Let me undress you and I'll make love to you

while you're asleep

I want to feel you next to me very close

I wanna be part of each other

♪ Life is passing me by ♪

♪ Give me wings and I'll fly ♪

♪ Take the world in my hands ♪

♪ Prove for once I'm a man ♪

♪ I'll tell you what it's all about... ♪

I have here a bill from Harrods

To dyeing and dry-cleaning. £46

I'll pay for that

You know damn well you can't

I always know

You start buying champagne and caviar

Just wait till she finds out you're a miser

I've a feeling

Don't avoid the issue

We are going through these bills before everything is cut off

Bills always make us quarrel

That's why I came straight home tonight

I told you this morning that we were going to go through these bills

And what the hell is all this for?

I'm going riding

you know, horsey-horsey

Since when do people go riding in the middle of the bloody night?

Some friends of mine called me and asked me if I'd like to go for a midnight ride

I assumed they meant horseback riding

Let's see if I have everything

You had better resign yourself to the fact that you are not going anywhere

You just let go of me

Let them wait

Who are they?

You're getting that old jealous feeling

no, I'm not

Don't you kid yourself

We are going to go through those bills like a

Is that your game today?

I said you don't love me

Go ahead! Do it

My hat! I want my hat

I tell you

Don't touch me. Leave me alone

What the hell do you think you're doing with me?

You just can't do this to me

What the hell do you think you're up to?

You can't do this to me

I'm a prisoner

I'll get all your bloody clean-living neighbors in here to save me

I want out! I want out

You woman hater

You fascist swine

Have you finished?

Bobby?

Pussycat?

You're gorgeous

You'll always have women falling all over you

because you know how to treat them

You use them and abuse them and you make them suffer

I don't mind. She's nothing

If anything

I'll fight her a duel any day

No! No, don't untie me! I want it that way

There must be something you can do

I've tried everything

I think he thinks he's really in love with this cow

Then do it to him, dear

Have an affair with a gorgeous man

If your lot would stop increasing and multiplying

maybe there'd be somebody left to do it with

There's no need to get personal

Now then, what's she like?

A slob

Worse than that, a soulful slob

Nothing I hate more than soulful people

She's always a little out of breath and sees beauty in everything

Especially in shit

Now, what do you want me to find out?

Everything

Their movements

She's got this poncey little fag working for her

and I want you to chat him up

what a bitch

There are plenty of men around

She can have anyone she

Geez, they even write each other letters

She refuses to have lunch with him because she likes to brood

Well, it's not exactly as though you and Robert have both been angels

Why don't we put a curse on them?

They're having a crash right now

And he escapes by the skin of his teeth and she's disfigured

I don't want to give her the satisfaction of being dead

and her kids

Zee, I refuse to sit with you

Ah, crap

You will do it, won't you?

Browse?

I suppose I could do with a few new clothes

I haven't told you what happened to me, have I?

I went to the club the other night

when this divine creature comes prancing over with

Look, I've got problems of my own

Yes, don't we all?

Let's go find them

Come on

you're at it, aren't you?

Á la

Someone just kicked over your dustbin

Probably some of the local lads having a bit of fun

What's the matter?

Nothing

What's wrong?

You know that wasn't local lads

She's possessed

She'd do anything

I tried to hypnotize myself

you should have gone straight up to her and said

I'm frightened

Stella, what do you mean

There is nothing to be frightened of

She's never going to let us have any peace

Stella, come over here

Look, I tell you what

Why don't I take you away for a couple of days?

When?

Tomorrow?

We'll go to, Scotland?

I thought you weren't coming

What do you mean you thought I wasn't coming?

Get on the train

I'll get the case

Go on, quickly, before it starts
Robert?

Yes?
Is it Robert Blakeley?

Yes, it is

Is she all right?

there's not much I can do about it, is there?

Yeah, well, you can tell her that I'm sorry too

and you can also tell her that the repair costs

are coming out of her expense money

Robert, what was it?

It's a friend of Zee's

She's had some kind of accident with my bloody car

Why my car?

is she all right?

She's just shaken up

into the wall on purpose

Did you tell her where we were going?

Then how did she know?

Perhaps she followed us on a broomstick

she's incredible

I'm hungry

You get something to eat

I know I'm going to get fat

I'm going to get so fat

Let's feel some of this fat?

I'm going to get something to eat

All right, you get something to eat

And when we get back

Brand new

If you wanna be
with her so damn much

why bother coming home at all?

Just pack up your shit
and get the hell out of here

Think I give a damn if you ever come back?

I don't have to sit around here all weekend waiting for you

The rest is just crap

You can take your junk and get out of here

You've quite recovered from your accident

Why don't you get a flat?

She can have window boxes and grow things

She'll spend a lot of time in the kitchen, at the sink

at the stove, making her goddamn homemade pâté

and all that other shit she's so pompous about

Where's my car?

She'll get fat, of course

Jesus, I've seen her eat

And she'll want more kids

to make it richer, fuller

To hold it together

And of course you won't be able to give her any, will you?

You'll have to go to doctors

And you'll have to get drunk to drown your sorrows

And you'll begin to notice little things about her

her greasy hair

And you'll have to get drunk, baby

before you can get it upstairs

Was it an accident or did you drive it against the wall on purpose?

Maybe I did

if you did, you will be walking around on crutches for quite a while

I wouldn't do that

You wouldn't want to hurt me again and find out you were wrong

You'd have to go to your headshrinker for £15 a go

why did I do it?

How the hell should I know?

Tell me

Hit me and I will

You rotten bitch

No, I won't

I wouldn't give you the satisfaction

You come back here

I haven't dismissed you yet

Never get away with this

Hey, you! You forgot your junk

Hello?

Is my husband in your skinny

He's not here

And before I open my fish stall

and while I have you on the blower

there are a couple of things I think you ought to know

Look, I really don't see that this is any of your business

You take my advice and skip it

You're not fun and games

you're a marvelous listener

But listening is dull in the sack

Not, Not his kind of marriage

He likes

Can’t you see that?

Why

The nerve

Bitch

I thought you'd left

What's the point in that?

Look, very simply

can you tell me where my car is?

South Morton Garage

Now

You didn't give me the chance

Who has it?

I didn't attack

You were feeling remorse because of your dirty weekend

I'll try to get a couple of hours sleep

Bobby

Can't we stop all this wrangling?

All this hell?

As of now

Wake me at 8:00 in the morning with some coffee

It can't be haunted because it's new

Nobody's lived here and nobody's died here

We'll liven it up a bit

You can paint a wall

Anything you want

We'll have to put a couple of pillars in there to support that

We can wave to the crowds

It's lovely

Yes, it's not bad, is it?

Shall we have it pink and gold and rosy or

You can have anything you want

What's it going to be like living with you?

I don't mean a night here, a day there

I mean, day after day, night after night?

Are you a day bird or a night bird?

Are you grumpy in the morning?

I don't know very much about myself in the morning

or any other time

I wonder what's up there?

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine

How is she taking it?

We've been through it all before for years

She's gone to her lawyer

The one good thing is

we don't have any kids or financial worries

I think she'll move out altogether

Somehow

sure we will

We will

We'll do our best?

Where are you?

Over here

Are you all right?

Was it babies?

You should have some because you're

You're so fond of them

That kid in your office building

you know

he does
But you know what he's done now?

He's bought a parrot and he's trying to teach it to speak Greek

Can we have a pet?

They die on us

One cat

one hamster

one canary, all in a row

That was our unlucky year

Let me do something cheerful for you

I know, I know

It's new and it looks all right

I can't, I'm in a mess

I'm still your baby, aren't I?

No matter whose lover you are or whose husband

I'm still your baby, aren't I?

I told you we shouldn't have gone to that party

I know we shouldn't have gone

You said Gladys would be upset

damn Gladys

Come on

No, I'm finished

I'm too tired, too sleepy

too late

I think I'd better go to bed

Do you ever feel lonely with her?

You better travel in front with me, sir

How long did they let you stay with her?

For a few minutes

What did she say?

Nothing

She was lost

She

I think that she must love me quite a bit

Is that what you call it?

Had you had a row or something?

On the contrary

On the contrary, nothing

For God's sake, don't investigate

All right, I won't

She almost killed herself

Go to her, cradle her, hold her hand?

It crossed my mind

to let her die

I almost went back to the bedroom
and let her bleed to death

There was a time when I didn't know either of you

You were just names

It was ages ago

what I did then or who I went out with

She asked me to ask you

to go to the hospital and visit her

Not to complain

She just wants to see you and talk to you. She likes you

You get the job done, you see?

You keep your head above water

I'm sick of serenity

I'm sick of the way I'm expected to be

I got shortchanged too, you know

I had a husband I loved

We were happy

We could do crossword puzzles or paper a room together

And when my children were babies

He had a cancer

a slow one

and he told me things he would like to have done

qualities he would like his sons to have

The last thing he said was

The front of the house and the woodwork need painting

Afterwards,
I used to turn my pillow sideways

pretend it was a man in case I woke up in the middle of the night

So I'm sorry if I give the impression of being in charge

That's my mistake

I believe it's astrological

Nevertheless

I will always be all right

So will you

What is a nervous breakdown?

Is it when you can't make up your mind or something like that?

it's when you act out of context with your environment

Don't say anything

Do men get it?

One of my friends did once

Had this fetish about having everything clean

I don't seem to be able to come through for either of them

You're doing fine, honestly

You sound like my mother during the war

That's what I need. A war

The trenches. Life and death

Something to get hold of

What's the matter?

Are you crying?

You are crying, aren't you?

Did one of your boyfriends stand you up?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry

I mean

A nice flat, central heating

John comes every night

You can tell me

You can tell me anything, anytime

Someone asked me the other day...

My tailor, I think it was

He said

who would you save?

And I said

You were wrong

Neither of them would

I'll plant them

You didn't know I like gardening

Yes. He told me

He never tells me anything about you

He slips up sometimes

You'll lend him to me, won't you?

He's your husband

I just mean for a week or so
when I get out

It's going back to an empty house that frightens me

I know

Of course you do

But your lucky number's coming up

It's funny how one gets one's happiness at the expense of someone else

Me of you. You of me and so on.

I got expelled at school

because I fell in love with one of the nuns

What a silly thing to be expelled for

I kissed her while she was making me up for one of the school plays

I was expelled for eating their altar breads

or whatever they call them before they're blessed

What part did you have in the play?

I was a boy

Shall I peel you an orange?

Yes, thank you

You know

having you as my personal slave

Only available for limited engagements

Had you planned it for long?

It was a spur of the moment thing

I was tired and a little drunk

And I'd just heard from a friend that you and Robert had leased a flat together

I suppose that triggered it off

It was all getting a bit much of late

Even before you arrived on the scene

I didn't know whether to talk or be the silent type or what

But you'll be all right

You'll have a good time in the beginning

The very beginning

Maybe I can be your bridesmaid

I was my mother's bridesmaid when she married for the second time

I was only eight at the time

I didn't know I wouldn't be
with her anymore

Why not?

the man she was marrying didn't want me

We'd been so close up until then

She was more like a playmate to me than a mother

Of course, you can't blame him

Who wants a great big girl of eight around?

So I was packed off to school

I don't

I've never told that to anyone

You're the only one that knows it

What is this

Something

Shall we have a housewarming?

We haven't any mutual friends

Do you know what Shaun said to me the other day?

He said, "Please indicate to Robert that great favor is curried

with material offerings from a stepfather

Shaun sounds like a bit of a blackmailer to me

he is

And I've made lots of resolutions

I shan't talk in the mornings

Except on Sundays when I lie in bed and eat toast

And I promise I shall never have a head cold

We'll be a party in ourselves, won't we?

Are you going to stay tonight?

No, I can't

Zee's invited some people over for dinner

Old friends

She always manages to come between us some way or other

It's my last evening

I have things to pick up anyway

All right. I'll get on with the unpacking

And then I'll go out and buy some food and flowers

I'll get back as soon as I can

Hey, love, what about that dance you promised me?

Super

mate, what kind of a party is this?

Well, I don't understand. I really don't. It's a shame

It is a shame

Yes, it was great fun

There aren't that many fun people around these days

I know

It's taken us two weeks to collect them together

Hey, Bobby, it's my dance

my Bobby is drunk

Come on, baby, heavy boy

Come on with mommy

Come on. Come on

Hang on just a minute

Yes, what is it?

The party's over, dear

Oh, my darling. My baby

Oh, my darling

What are you doing?

You promised you'd stay with me until Gordon could move in with me

You promised

It'll only be for a few more days

It won't work

I was so damn drunk last night

Anyway

Since last night when you took me into the bedroom for a little talk

Last night is nothing but a blur

My games? You dragged me into bed

And you did an awful lot of promising

You took me. You, You, you

Well, I was drunk and out of my senses

yes, it did

baby, baby, baby

Shut up, you bloody slut

Shut your filthy mouth

I'm sick and tired of playing your bloody games. I am finished

they are boring, brittle and trite

Go on then. Piss off

Go to your perfect lady

A perfect pair of big fat phony frauds

You're the fat fraud

She doesn't need a bloody game to keep her alive

You're such a fake

You're so weak and frightened

You think she's going to save you

She's as big a fake as you are

I may be the worst thing in the world

but I carry it in front where you can see it

I'm not a liar like she is

Her whole life is a lie

Good God, don't you ever stop?

You have to convince yourself

that everything is as cheap and nasty and rotten as you are

otherwise you'd be back in the bath again with your bloody wrist cut

I don't have to convince myself.

I think I know what she is

She practically told me herself

Get out of here and bloody well leave me alone

I am sick of your twisted mind spewing its garbage all over me

Twisting everything it sees into a mess

I don't want to hear anything you've got to say

ever again as long as I live

Leave me alone

Certainly, I had a lovely time sitting here last night

waiting for you to turn up

It was absolutely wonderful to be woken by Gladys this morning

telling me that I'd missed one of the best parties of the season

you didn't

that you insinuated it was going to be

She said that you danced with each other half the night

I don't know what I danced.
I told you

Anyway, you decided to stay

I didn't decide anything

Bloody hell

Space

That's what we promised each other

Yes

It's all the other things

You're stringing her along

I am giving her nothing except money

You're keeping it going by hook or by crook

All right! What do you suggest?

Suicide or murder?

Last night you had a party

We've always had separate rooms

I don't care whether you have separate rooms, beds, gas ovens

I just don't want her name bandied around here

and her wants and her parties and her needs

Maybe she'd like me to sit on the end of the bed to honor the proceedings

I'll put it to her

I don't want to see you like this

I don't want to be seen like this

You're everything I've ever despised

and I've become everything I vowed never to be

That's where our love has got us

Right

Let's forget it

Look, I, I didn't set out to fall in love with you

I set out to have an affair

a little bit on the side

But I did fall in love with you

That's what happened and that's the way it stands

As for the other things

It's all junk

It's a mess and I don't want it

But I've got it

I wish now you'd let her die

Hello, Rita?

This is your boss

What's going on up there?

There's been several phone calls for you and Mr. Nelson's got some drawings

All right, all right, never mind then

I want you to come and have lunch with me

Where?

The same place where we always have lunch

All right

But it'll take about 15 to 20 minutes to get there

I'll wait

Your front door was open

I went over to your other place

Very nice

Clean, new

What do you want, Zee?

What do we both want?

I expected to hear from you after our little talk in the hospital

I don't know what

What on earth are you talking about?

A girl has to be quite grown-up to be expelled for kissing a nun

How old were you, Stella?

I'm sorry, Zee

I don't see that that's any of your business

A child can't be expelled
for falling in love

If you were 15, 16, well, then

Maybe there were other things

Other girls at school that you fell in love with?

You can tell me, love

There's nothing to tell

come on, Stella

Don't make it so difficult for me

You're crazy

Aren't we all, love?

Just a little?

I called her at the fiat

The telephone was out of order

Look, if you hear from her

I'm going to have to get dressed and get out of here

before your young man arrives

I don't have to answer the door

He'll think I'm still working

Don't be greedy

Besides which, that would be dishonest

All right? Thank you

Stella

Stella, stop being silly

Open the door

What are you doing here?

Where's Stella?

In the bedroom

Leave me alone. Please

What happened?

I don't know

Don't worry

She's a bit confused right now, Bobby

Then maybe we can all get together

Baby wants something to eat

It's been one hell of a day
