Original subtitles

I'm 30 years old and still live with my parents, so...

It was very nice meeting you. We'll take good care of her.

That makes me sound amazing. BOTH: You ARE amazing.

Bye.

Last night, it was a spontaneous, beautiful

thing that we all had to do. But it was a goodbye.

Seriously, what were you hoping would happen?

STOP!

Get out! I think I still have my keys. Keep them.

Yeah. You should keep them. They're yours.

When you said I should keep the keys, did you mean...?

Are you saying...?

SIREN BLARES

CHILD CRIES OUT IN FRENCH

MATHILDE: There are different kinds of cry.

There is a cry for "I need food".

And a different cry for "I need sleep".

Responding to these cries is hard-wired.

No parents want their child to suffer.

We want to take on their pain.

There is another cry.

It communicates something less easily remedied than hunger

or fatigue.

I need connection.

Love.

Pick me up.

Cuddle me.

Reassure me that I'm safe.

Let me know I'm not alone.

SHE CRUNCHES INTO APPLE

It's hard for you to hear Oscar cry.

As parents, we instinctively look for ways to meet our child's needs

as quickly and effectively as we can.

So, we distract them

with toys or food.

Or we just tell them to stop.

Get them to bottle up those feelings.

SHE ZIPS UP BAG

We call it a tantrum.

Bad behaviour.

Give them time-out on the naughty step.

And we grow up as repressed adults...

..unable to fully trust...

..or connect...

..because those needs don't change as we grow older.

We still require the same essential things

we did as new-borns.

Food.

Rest.

Love.

Happy birthday to you... Mum! Stop!

Happy birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you, Ramona

Happy Birthday to you. My baby. Ow.

TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH:

Why? I just bumped it.

Mum, I'm fine.

What's with the luggage?

It's just an overnight bag.

Oh.

I'll just...

No, it's fine - I should just let the guys know.

They're Gem's. Gemma's.

She knows you have them? She does, yeah.

OK.

SHE ROARS

MATHILDE LAUGHS

I'm just very happy you're here.

I will buy this for your father.

The compact...

The compact edition.

�5.

We've only done a few sessions but, so far, it's really fun.

This is Minnie - she's 75.

It fits with your flying? Yeah.

Are you still not speaking to Moira?

No, it's not. You just call her up and talk.

She doesn't want that, Mum. Why not?

You cannot just burn bridges, Mona.

I'm not. She has been a loyal friend and... I've been...

I'll call her. I promise.

And your...

It was one time. A year ago.

I haven't had any more.

You're angry at me because I'm asking?

I'm your mother, I like to know.

What's happened?

Oh, yeah? What does he think is happening?

Because he could ask me if he's worried

instead of gossip like a little...

I'm not tryi...

Yes.

Why don't we wander down the river?

Get coffees?

Go to Tate Modern? I want to show you a bit of London.

Do something special.

We can go clothes shopping any time.

PHONE NOTIFICATION

RAY LAUGHS

Private joke?

Whoa... I'm definitely getting the silver thing.

You try this.

I guessed a size up because of your new weight.

I'm not sure it's really...me.

No, it's... Ramona, why are you being so...?

I got a tattoo.

Lots of people have them.

It's my body, Mum, I'm 31.

I'm sorry you don't like it, but...

No! Then why have you done this to yourself?

I...

I just...

..liked it.

Well, you can't wear this.

It will show your triangle.

I don't care about showing my triangle.

But don't say, "Show my triangle" -

people will think you're talking about something else.

I know, Maman.

You want this ugly shirt instead?

Oh! No, I forgot, sorry. Gemma is cooking for us.

Oh, just call her and tell her don't.

Yeah, but her food is really, really nice...

I don't want to spend tonight with your landlords.

I came to see you.

I want you to get to know them, they are...

I'll take both.

Thank you.

GEM: Yes, I absolutely understand that...

KIERAN: Hey! Come on in! Oh, hi! Sorry!

Welcome! Erm, it's just I was promised a call-back

last week and no-one's... Is it the council? Have we heard?

Yeah. She still can't get through to the guy. Hi.

They're supposed to respond to the petition -

they're selling loads of properties to private landlords.

I need to use the bathroom.

No, please, don't put me on hold, ple...!

SHE GROANS

She cut me off!

Sorry. Hi.

Mathilde, it's so good to see you.

Can we get you something? Tea? Coffee?

There's some champagne in the freezer that's almost drinkable.

Oh, Gem's made some cocktails if...

I just need... Can I use the bathroom?

Of course, yeah. You know where it is, right?

Mona, there's a gateaux aux pommes in that bag.

You made a gateau?! Did you call her Mona? I love that.

Ah, no. Don't. Don't!

Gemma made a cake as part of the whole...

Oh, OK.

Two cakes. That's... That doesn't sound like a problem.

I'll put it in the fridge. Don't look in the fridge. OK.

SHE SINGS "PARABENS PRA VOCE" TO THE TUNE OF HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

GEM LAUGHS

That was the worst energy in the world. Oh, energy...

I'm so sorry. Oh, my days. You couldn't see that,

it was blatantly... And later on in the toilet...

Like... No, that's not the point of the story!

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

MATHILDE TAPS GLASS FOR ATTENTION

We should make a toast?

Your last birthday was not a happy one.

Oh, whoa, whoa... Pardon.

But so much has happened since then.

For me, too.

Your father and I are getting used to you not being there.

Learning to be...

..just two again.

I'm sorry, I don't know...

I don't know what to say.

We love you.

Cheers. Hear, hear. I love you too, Maman.

Thank you. Where's your glass? I'll have a swig of yours.

Er, I think...

Sorry.

Oh, Maman, did Dad give you the flowers?

Oh, no.

Every year on my birthday, my dad gives my mum pink flowers.

Zinnias. My favourite.

He says birthdays are also for mummies. That's sweet.

But maybe this year, he forgot.

Well, then, we should raise a toast to you.

Well done. Merci.

To you, Maman! I'm glad I was born.

And I'm very glad you're here. Cheers! Thank you.

Cake?

Yes! Yes! I'll help.

No. You stay where you are.

Oh, my baby.

Maman...

We should call your father.

Oui. OK.

Why not?

RINGING TONE

Happy birthday...

THEY JOIN IN: ..to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Ray-Ray...

THEY HARMONISE: Happy birthday to you!

Yeah!

THEY LAUGH Thank you, guys!

Yes. This is number one.

MICK: Who can I hear? It's Gemma and Kieran.

Hi, Mick, what's up? Gemma made a wonderful dinner for us all.

MICK: Oh, that's nice!

GEM VOCALISES TRUMPET

LAUGHTER

SLIGHTLY over the top!

I need to take a picture of it! I have candles.

We've got matches.

This is a work of art.

When did you have time to do this!

Oh, it was a whole production line.

OK. Make a wish.

THEY FALL SILENT

MICK: You still there?

Yeah, I'm making a wish, Dad.

Oh, good.

Have you opened your card yet?

No, we're saving it for later.

Your wish? Yeah, yeah.

THEY CLAP AND CHEER

This one. OK, I'm just going to try some of this.

Mathilde, what can I pass you?

RAY SHRIEKS

SHE LAUGHS

Look at the size of it. It's amazing!

Holy shit. Mona!

MICK: What's happening? I can't really hear you that well.

I'm sorry, Dad, we're eating cake.

I'm so jealous.

I've been in the car all day,

I've only had a Scotch egg from the garage. Why a unicorn?

Um... Oh, God!

Want me to explain?

THEY CHUCKLE Probably not the best to do that now.

OK. OK. OK.

Should I?

Can I?

She's opening it, Mick.

OK... Ta-da!

MICK CLEARS HIS THROAT

What's this?

That's your present.

Your father and I have been thinking of the best way for us...

..to help you. I don't need... London is expensive.

We had that money in an ISA,

just sitting there... Let me say it, Mick.

Grandma left us a little money when she died.

We have thought a lot about what to do with it, and we've decided.

We want to give you a deposit for a flat.

We've done some mortgage calculations

and looked online

for places near Heathrow.

But I have... I live here.

You could get a one-bed with a little garden

in Northfields, on the Piccadilly Line. Which is the best...

Mum... We know how expensive London is.

And there's no way you're going to get your own place without help.

But I'm... What's wrong?

You're not happy about that?

I'm just...

It's really...

..really generous. It is.

What an amazing gift.

MICK: Are you still there? What's happening?

Hello?

It's very generous, Dad.

Maman.

I'll call you tomorrow, Mick.

MICK: Okey dokey, kiddos.

Happy birthday, Momo! I love you.

Washing up? Yeah. Yeah.

We can make some space, then we can get the...

Have some coffee or something. Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry, Gem, do you want any help?

No, just leave those, it's fine. We'll do them in the morning.

Salut, Maman.

Morning.

There's pastries in the kitchen, just help yourself to anything.

Thank you.

We'll have breakfast on our way.

Thank you for cooking last night.

You obviously really care about Ramona.

I do.

We both do.

Very much.

What have you got planned for today?

National Gallery then London Eye. Nice!

I'll jump in the shower. Oh, I think Kieran's in there.

PHONE RINGS Oh, this is the call. Hang on, one second. Excuse me.

Hello?

But how can you say that? We got over 1,000 signatures.

Oh, shit.

I found a little place for lunch in Trafalgar Square.

No, I appreciate that, but the local community strongly objects to...

Hi, morning.

Is it the call? No. It's not just my business,

the sell-out affects the whole...

Sorry, is there someone else I can speak to about this because...?

Yeah, I understand.

It's all about money.

The council won't help us.

But, legally, is there something else we can do?

It's going on the market next week.

They don't care about the petition. We'll fight for it.

There's nothing else. We don't have the money.

SHE WEEPS

I'm so sorry, Gem.

We'll have to figure it out.

I don't know... I just don't know what to do.

My mum... My mum is waiting for me. It's OK. Just go with your mum.

Go. She's planned the whole day. Are you going to be OK? It's OK.

I will call you later. I'll...

When I am done.

Give me some news if you... Oh, Maman!

I'm sorry, Maman.

No, I'm coming now.

I'm coming now. I'm sorry.

Stay if you have to.

No, no, I'm...I'm ready.

Mathilde, I'm so sorry.

We just had some bad news about the cafe, and it's all...

Yes, I understand. Sorry if it's messed with your timings.

It's OK, guys, honestly.

Have a great day. Thank you.

Mum? Er, sorry, can we...?

Mona, come on...

Just one minute.

I just want to say something.

Er, Ray?

I really wanted last night to be special.

I wanted to say some things.

There wasn't really the right moment to say...

I wanted you to spend some time with these two because...

..over the last year...

..they've become really important to me.

We haven't said anything to anyone.

Ray... Mona, please!

I need to go.

I'm...I'm trying to tell you something important.

And I have to go.

I can't just drop everything whenever you have a crisis.

OK. OK.

Fuck the Congestion Charge.

Ramona!

Maman?

You don't have to leave.

You are.

I'm trying...

Whatever you're doing with your life is...

You're a grown-up woman now.

You don't need my permission or... I'm not asking for permission,

I'm trying to tell you what's happening in my life.

Is that really what you think is happening?

I can see what's happening much more clearly than you can I think.

Because if you want... Ask me. I really want to tell you.

Do you ask us?

Do you care about what's been happening with me?

Do you ever wonder what it's like for your father and I

to be suddenly alone together for the first time...

..after...

..three decades?

Do you ever want to just call for a chat?

Come back for a weekend?

You work half the month and live an hour away.

You haven't been home.

You don't speak to your closest friends.

Since moving to London,

you have turned into a very self-centred, secretive woman.

I don't know who you are any more.

And you don't seem to care to know me either.

Do you know I'm going through the

menopause and this is fucking awful?

Maman...

I shouldn't have to beg you to tell me...

..about your life.

And if you want to build it into this huge thing

you're still unable to tell me about, well...

..maybe that's not a good sign.

BUS ANNOUNCEMENT: This is Waterloo.

Maman.

Please, Maman. Stay tonight.

Why? So I can be ignored while you giggle with your landlords?

They're not just my landlords.

BABY CRIES

WOMAN: I'm so tired. I don't know what to do.

BABY CONTINUES CRYING

Nothing.

Everyone's glaring at me.

They just want her to shut up.

OK.

OK, I've got to go, Mum.

SHE SOOTHES BABY

BABY CONTINUES CRYING

Mick?

Are you home?

SHE SINGS LULLABY IN FRENCH

MAN: We just wanted to say thanks, really.

MAN: You've been a life-saver.

We're actually getting some reliable chunks of sleep, semi-regularly.

That's great.

You've done the work.

All three of you.

Molly, say hi to Mathilde.

Hello, Molly!

Good girl!

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean what I said.

FRONT DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

I know.

I know you said that.

But what does it matter if I like them or not?

Is that Momo? Can I talk to her? Come on. Give us the phone.

Hey, fuzzle bum, how was your day?

Yeah. Yeah. OK.

I'll tell her. She says she has your new top.

She can bring it up next weekend, if you'd like?

She's nodding.

No, I just had...

Just didn't think you'd end up teaching synchro to pensioners!

Well, at least you're...you're the youngest one in the water for once!

THEY CHUCKLE

Sorry, Momo! Tell her... What's that, hon?

Hang on, I think your mum wants me to tell you something.

Tell her I like them.

You like what?

Just... She says she likes them.

Does that mean something to you?

OK, good.

Yeah, we're all right.

Well, you know. Nothing ever changes with us.

Well, Momo, I'm really chuffed about your job...
