MrWilliam B Shawcross

Oh, yes, indeed. One moment.

Thank you.

Yes, indeed. Two OfA Kind.

What am I doing here? OK Here we go.

I'm Mary Gilcrest I'm 36.

I'm a midwife.

You don't want me to say my name?

Yeah. No, they can know my name.

[Laughs]

[Scanner crackling]

WOMAN: Give us it!

Give us it! Give us it here, you git!

- It's for me, not you!
- Oh, come on. Share and share.

Paula... Paula, try not to move.

Tell him to keep his hands off, then!

Michael, concentrate on Paula
and help her with her breathing, OK?

- I want an epi thing!
- Paula, it's too late for an epidural.

Try not to move. I need to near
the baby's heartbeat during a contraction.

Erm___ [Laughs]

[Toilet flushes]

Shoes and car keys.
Anyone seen my brown shoes and the car keys?

- Keys are on the hall mantelpiece
- Shoes by the kitchen.

- Thank you, Julia, Mrs Ball.
- Dad, can I go to Rachel's'?

- No.
- Why not?

Because it's late already.

Good evening, Mrs Ball. Is William in?

- Oh, no, not you.
- But, Mrs Ball, I love you.

And however much you spurn my love...

- it's that awful Mr Two Hats.
- William?

In here.

Acoustic Café have had a cancellation tonight.

They want a one-set gig, 50 notes each.

I'm sorry. I can't make it. I'm going out.

Going out where? it's Acoustic Café.

- Acoustic Café? Can I come?
- Oddly enough, no.

- Well, where's he going?
- Don't anyone tell him. Nobody. OK?

- Well, take him with you, please.
- Come on, Billy.

William, come on, man. it's 50 notes.

Well, I can't go. You'll have to play on your own.
I told you. Bye-bye.

Tonight's the night. You know that, don't you?

No, no. This is the one.

Oh, Doris, you always say that!

Yeah, I know, but this is the one.
This is the man. I see lovers colliding.

I see sparks and passion.

- Lots of passion. I see travel.
- Sounds great.

Oh, you wait. You wait. Your jaw is going to drop
when all this comes true.

Which it will, cos I know.

Well, come on. Get your glad rags on.

There's a film I want to see, and I want to know
what you're wearing for this guy.

You know that girl in Three?

Yeah. What did she have?

On, no. That's still going on. You know,
sne's only a year older than my Brendan.

Oh, don't go there.

Don't even think about it.

Think: "Man with money seeks good-time girl."

Think: "This is what I signed up for."

The question is:
do I take a shower or have a drink?

A drink. Have a drink. Have two drinks.

- Let the pheromones work.
- [Laughs] You reckon?

Definitely.

Oh...

that's nice.

[Laughs]

RINGTONE: J” Scotland The Brave

Hi, Mum.

You know what they say?

All the people that should be running the country

are all busy either driving taxi cabs
or cutting hair.

Funny, that, isn't it?

I don't know who it was who said it.
Somebody told me it was Mark Twain.

Mum, I haven't met him. I'm not even there yet.

Well, I wouldn't bother going, then.

What's the point? Why don't you come home?

- We 'II have a pizza.
- Mum, do the boys want a word?

Hang on.

Do you want a word with your mum?

Just tell her she's sad.

Thank you, Terence.

- I'll see you later, Mum.
- But will I?

I'll be home later. God!

- Mary?
- Hi.

- Hi. I'm Matt.
- Hi.

Mmm. You smell good. What is it?

[Laughs]

I've got us a quiet corner.

OK. Thanks.

By the way, do you have a passport?

I would have said this later,
but I like what I'm seeing,

and if you do, too,
I'm flying out to Nlélaga next weekend,

to look over a few villas.

I've got a spare ticket,
on my company, obviously.

- It may be a little premature.
- It must be that perfume.

I'll get it- don't worry!

The food here is excellent. They do great tapes.

WOMAN: Marvellous_

OK. OK, bye. Bye.

Hi. I enrolled at the beginning of the week.

Yes. Hello.

Oh, William! How are you? Come and sit down.

No, I can't, I've got choir practice. I wondered
if you'd had any response from Mary Gilcrest

The midwife.

Yes. I know. But I haven't been able
to send her your details yet.

I think I did tell you -

we don't arrange multiple introductions
for our clients. We do it one at a time.

Right. I just thought
she might have had that date by now.

I'll speak to her after the weekend. OK?

Yes, fine, OK. Thanks.

Look at some more clients.
You can choose three.

No. Thanks. I'll wait for her.

But thanks. Bye.

Of course, the people in this villa know
the dog's a stray, but they're British.

So, they feed the dog.

They buy it dog food.
It becomes part of the family.

They even give it a name.

What happens the day they leave?

Not two hours after they've left -
the owner is Spanish, remember-

he shoots the dog.

[Laughs]

Well, I think that's really sad,

Oh! No, yeah.

Sorry. No, I think it's sad, too.

I tell you, it's the perfume thing.

It's the one with the naked woman in a bottle,
right?

[Laughs]

No, it's just that erm___l didn't have a shower
before I came out tonight, so...

lt's___ Yeah, sorry.

It's not what you want to hear on a first date.

You b*stard! You absolute b*stard!

MATT: But she's my secretary.

We can't vet every aspect of each person.

Oh, he's married. I met his wife.

And I am personally absolutely devastated
that you've been put through this.

So, give me my money back.

- My good name is all I have
- You haven't got the money?

Why don't you let us keep trying for you?

I mean, this has nothing to do with money,
as far as I'm concerned.

I could have taken my boys on holiday
for £700, plus VAT.

It's everything to do with the money,
and I want mine back.

- This man enrolled last Monday.
- I'm not interested.

He looked through all the files,

and he was told he could select three women,
which we would then approach.

How nice for him. Can I have my money?

But when he finished,
he made only one selection.

You.

- So, why didn't you call me and tell me?
- You were meeting Matt on Friday.

And we doh't make multiple dates. But we would
have called you this morning. [Laughs]

Let's get back to my refund.

You don't believe me.

Look in the file.

Your details, and only your details,
are in there with his.

It's not a trick.

I'm not a magician.

All I ask is that you look,
and if you don't want to meet him,

or if you meet him and you're not interested,
hopefully you'll try us again,

but if you don't, I'll refund your money in full.

OK?

His name's William.

[Off-key violin]

It was you, not me. You played the wrong chord.

[Phone rings]
- I might have done.

[Vacuum cleaner whirring]

- Hello?
- Hello. It's Two OfA Kind here.

- Oh, ermyeah, yeah. Just a sec.
- William, it's Trish.

Dad, can I go out with Rachel tomorrow?

Kate, I am on the phone.

So am I, Dad. Can I go out tomorrow?

No. We're buying your school uniform.

I'm sorry about that.

- Can't we do that another day?
- No. I've got to get back to work on Wednesday.

Sorry.

She would?

Tonight? Er___yeah_

I'll just have to ask Mrs Ball
to look after the girls. Where?

No, I mean, where would she like to go?

Where would you suggest?

[Scanner crackling]

[Laughs] Whoa! "Hello_ Here I am!"

Right. Come on, you two.

So...

How do you feel about being induced now?

OK. Will I have tubes sticking out of me
all the way through?

And if the baby's born, like, this week,
when can we bring it home?

I can't promise anything, but I'd anticipate
no intervention after we start you off.

Unless you want it.
And a baby back in this house...

two days after the birth.

Well, it would have been Dad's birthday
Wednesday, so I'd like it then.

Tom?

Any thoughts or questions?

Yeah. When would they start her chemo?

Oh, and will that stop me breast-feeding?

Sal, that can't be an issue. We agreed that.

I want to know. it's just a question.

Well, I don't really have an answer,
but I would guess it would affect feeding, yeah.

- Do you want everything?
- Yeah. Thanks.

So, he looked at all the women
and he chose you?

Yeah.

- Oh, and he's in a band.
- Is he sh*t in a band! Have you seen his ears?

Tom, shut up!

This might be the man
she spends 30 years with.

Hey, I'm not looking for permanent.

I'm looking for someone
I can have a laugh with and a bit of___you know.

What, sex?

Yeah, if I can remember how to do it!

Sal, eat up. Come on.

Anyway, he's not my type.

But I'm gonna show up, do the deed,
then get my money back,

and take the boys on holiday.

- What time are you meeting him?
- Nine.

OK. Well, let's give him a chance,
cos I think he's got a lovely face.

OK. How about if I give you a ring
on your mobile about half-past nine?

And if you want out, well, you'll have to go,
won't you, cos you're on call?

Oh! Why didn't you suggest this six weeks ago?

- Half-past nine, OK?
- OK.

Great. Great.

One more question. Actually,
what happens if it all goes wrong? I mean...

TRISHZ William, Hrst-time meetings
are like a high-wire act

So, do what everyone else does.
Have a safety net

- What do you mean, a safety net?
- Get someone to call you...

maybe an hour into the date.

- Oh, I'm sure I'm going to like her.
- I'm sure she's going to like you, too.

In fact we at Two OfA Kind
have a hunch about this one.

Hello. Would you like to see the menu, sir?

No, I'll wait, thank you.

MAN: Thank you. Good night.

William.

- Mary.
- Hi.

I thought we'd skip the opening exchanges
about nothing in particular.

You're a community worker.
What kind of community work?

Mostly with old people.

Yeah, let's not talk about work.

Work's why we're here. If we met people at work,
we wouldn't have to do this.

- You're a single father.
- Yeah.

Where's the mother? I'm only interested,

because I was out with a guy the other night,
and his wife turned up.

Really? Well, there's not much chance
of mine doing that, She's dead.

Oh.

They should er___put that down here.

I ticked the box.

Can I ask how?

Traffic accident.
She was knocked down three years ago.

Oh.

Sorry... Are you smiling?

Yeah, but not about that.

So, why the smile?

I don't know you well enough yet.

I didn't run her over,
if that's what you're thinking.

I wasn't, no, but...

thanks for the thought.

Oh, you have a housekeeper
who looks after your girls. How old is she?

Mrs Ball. She's 60, 61.

She only comes when I'm working or on call.

- Two daughters. Kate and Julia.
- Yeah.

I've got two sons.

- What are their names?
- Terence and Brendan.

But adolescents are the other reason I never
meet any men, so tney're a banned topic, too.

- Shall we order?
- Yeah.

Thank you. I don't know Japanese food.

Yeah. OK.

No, I don't, really, either. You choose.

- Thank you.
- That's mine.

- Oh, sorry. What is it?
- lt's___that_ I'm in a choir.

A choir?

Oh, a choir.

Right. It says you're in a band.

- Yeah, I'm in a choir and a band.
- What kind of band? A brass band?

[Laughs] R & B and blues.

We're harmless. Come and see us play.

Do you want to? We're playing this weekend.

- Why don't you come?
- I think I'm working.

How can you be a community worker
and not be political?

Well, you haven't told me
what you mean by that yet.

I mean, OK, so all I do is vote.

Thank you.

But what do you do?

I try and change the system I'm working in
for the better.

Oh, well, fine. Sure. I try and do that.

But this is a banned topic, by the way.

- What do you do with that?
- I guess you just pour it over this.

Oh___oh___ Oh, God!

- [Laughs]
- Oh, God. I've made that worse.

That's hot.

- I like hot food,
- No, that's really hot.

[Splutters]

Don't you dare ask for water.

[Groans]

My God! it's like swallowing a...

hospital.

[Coughing] Why did you let me eat that?

[Laughs]

[Phone rings]

Sorry. Excuse me.

Hello?

No, sorry. Just... [Coughs]

Yeah, OK. I'm coming now.

Yeah, I'm coming now. [Coughs]

I'm really sorry.
I've been called out. I've got to go.

Sorry.

Tom?

- Tom, what's happened?
- I got a parking ticket.

Where's Sal? Where is she?

Look, why are you here?

She couldn't get up.

She went to bed after lunch,
and she couldn't get up, so I brought her here,

And they gave her an ultrasound,
but the baby's fine.

And they sent us over to oncology,
and now they want to keep her in.

And I forgot all about the car,
so I raced down here, even though...

OK. Come on. it's OK.
Come back with me and I'll sort it out, OK?

I'm going to lose her, Mary.
And I'm so scared, cos there's nothing I can do.

[Baby crying]

- Are you all right?
- Hiya.

- Hi.
- Yeah, I'm feeling much better.

Sorry we called you in early.

- Don't be daft. How are you?
- So, how was he?

Did you want to leave, or was he really nice?

Sal, that doesn't matter.

Wnat's important is you. So, wnat's happening?

They're going to induce me. Like, now.

MARYZ Well, that's OK.

Come oh. We've talked this through.

Once they've started me off,
I can still do it naturally, can't I?

- Of course you can.
- Ah, Mary, good.

- I was told you weren't on tonight.
- She wasn't_ We called her.

Oh___right_

Well, let's get you along to the labour ward,
shall we?

No, it's OK. I can manage.

[Groans]

MARY: Are you OK?
- Sal?

I'm just going to have a little feel of your tummy.

That is a contraction,
so you've started on your own.

You're going to do it on your own, yeah?

Right. Let's wait for the contraction to pass.

- Will you be handling this?
- No.

- So, who is, then?
- The senior registrar will be looking after her.

- Spick_
- Yes.

I'm gonna go and find one of Sal's consultants.
OK?

- Sal, I'll be with you as soon as I can.
- Mary...

Evening, Mrs Ball.

- Good choir practice?
- Yeah, yes. Not bad. Not bad.

- Have the girls gone down?
- Oh, long gone.

[Groans]

Mr Jordan, contractions become much more
intense once the waters have broken.

She's coping. She doesn't want an epidural.

Please, don't force my hand on this.
I'm asking for your co-operation.

And I'm telling you to get out and leave her to it.

- What's going on?
- He wants Sal to have an epidural.

Why? What's her blood pressure?

- Would you mind waiting outside?
- We're all going outside.

Outside, please!

She has specifically asked for no intervention.

She only needs an epidural
if her blood pressure's high, which it isn't.

She has cancer, Ms Gilcrest
She's severely weakened.

I'm interested in mother and baby,
and I'll section her if I have to.

You want to give her a Caesarean?

No, Ms Gilcrest
I will section her under the Mental Health Act.

- Oh, you can't do that.
- Mother and baby are both at risk.

I'm formally requesting
that this midwife be removed from the unit.

- She's obstructing clinical procedure.
- I want Dr Currie.

- I'm the senior registrar!
- Dr Currie and both Sally Jordan's consultants.

I am questioning your judgment, OK?
I want their opinions.

Are you trying to lose your job?

When that woman came for her first scan,
and they found a tumour as well as a foetus,

she decided to have the baby.

She's probably made the ultimate sacrifice
with that decision,

and her wish is that she should try and have
this baby in as natural a way as possible.

Make those calls and leave, Ms Gilcresl

You'll find they're backing me, not you.

[Sighs] Where can I get their numbers from?

If your blood pressure goes up,
you have to agree to an epidural, Sal.

This is very important for you and the baby.

I'm doing all right.

Sal, you've come this far on your own.

You haven't been induced. This is all natural.

But you're early,
and they might have to intervene.

- Mary, I want you to leave now.
- What's going on?

I can't deliver this baby for you.
Don't get involved. Just help Sal.

You're as prepared as you can be, OK?

Mary, please. This isn't helping.

Sal...

If it was me, I'd have the epidural. OK?

MARY: I'm gonna stay here all night if I have to.
Let me know what happens.

Please.

[Sighs]

[Strums guitar]

[Plays blues tune]

[Taps on window]

A baby girl.

- [Sighs]
- Nearly six pounds.

And Sal?

- Oh, God.
- Oh, no, no, no.

But she's exhausted.

- Did they section her?
- No. They did give her an epidural,

but she pushed the baby out herself.

[Mary sobs]

- Can I go and see them?
- I'm afraid not.

Look, I want you to go home, get some sleep,

and be back in the Director of Midwifery's
office for three this afternoon.

[Crying]

[Alarm clock bleeps]

[Sighs]

[Vacuum cleaner whirring]

- Ermwhat happened to school?
- We've been.

- Oh, why? What time is it?
- Just gone two.

Oh, so, it's half-days, is it?

ALLZ lt'S INSET, innit?

"LSn't it?"

"lt'S INSET, iSn't it?"

Hi, Mary.

- What are you doing?
- Your mum's wardrobes.

He's making a lovely job of it. Look.

Erm___do you want to go out for a drink tonight,
Mary___'?

SALESWOMAN:
You might want your mum to take the hem up.

- Mrs Ball does it.
- Just a touch.

Yeah, about a yard.

I am not wearing one of those

SALESWOMANZ Lovely. Right, gym kit.

Mum?

Number one: have you asked Brendan
if you can put wardrobes in his room?

Because I know you forget, but it is his room.

And two:
I want to be told when Rick is coming round.

If you had any sense, he'd be living here.

Mum, I finished with him two years ago.
In fact, I doh't want him coming at all.

[Mobile phone rings]

- Hello?
- Hi. It's Mary

Oh, hi. Hello. Hang on.

Come on.

I hope you don't mind, but I asked
the dating agency for your number, to...

you know, say sorry about last night,

and, well, to see if you fancy trying again.

- Er___y-y-y-yes.
- Dad...

These are optional. You don't have to have one.
It's only if you want one.

And I don't
so can you tell her we don't need these?

Mary, can I call you back?
I've just got to sort out my daughter.

Yeah. Yeah, OK.

Great. Thanks for calling. I'll speak...

When I'm holding one oftnese to my ear,

I'm on the phone - I'm talking to someone -
and you're having a hat.

All right.

It's not for a community midwife
to interfere with medical procedure.

RINGTONE: J” Scotland The Brave

Sorry.

[Man sighs]

[Ringtone continues]

[Turns off phone]

Hi. You've reached Mary Gilcrest
Leave me a message.

Mary, hi. Er___it's William.

Er___l'll try you again later,
but thanks for calling again.

I mean, when you called for the first time

Well, the only time

Er___yeah_

Right, bye. I'll speak to you soon.

Frat.

[Sighs] I have to say, in my experience,

Mary's only had
the Jordans' best interests at heart.

Yes, you wereh't actually here
when this happened, were you?

Can we move on?

The problem the hospital faces
is a potential legal action by the husband.

- On what grounds?
- Well, they could say they were misadvised,

and encouraged by Mary to resist
obstetric advice, with resulting complications.

[Sighs]

You went back and saw Sally Jordan again,
after you'd been asked to leave.

I had to tell her
I wasn't going to be there for the delivery.

Then why did you take her blood pressure?

To get her to agree to an epidural.
I didn't want her sectioned.

What's the prognosis on Sally Jordan?

She's very poorly indeed.

And if she wants to go home,
given the number of secondaries,

I think we should allow it.

If the baby's up to it.

The baby's fine.

Mary, would you wait outside for a minute,
please?

[Door opens]

Hang on in there.

Someone asked me to give you this.

Mary?

Mary, let me just say off the record that,
with one exception,

everybody fully supports
what you were trying to do for Sally Jordan...

even if it was a little unorthodox.

However, until we've clarified the legal position,

I have to strongly advise you
not to have any contact with the Jordans.

This is very important, Mary.

It is.

Go against this advice,

and we will almost certainly
have to suspend you.

Understood?

Did you see David Connolly's goal
the other day? It was heavy, innit?

Here you are. Sit down. I'll get you a plate.

[Mouthing]

Go and see the wardrobes.

No, thanks.

Mum, are you all right?

No. I need a hug.

[Sighs] One of my new mothers is very sick.

[Whispers] Hey. I'm sorry about the wardrobes.

Will I ever get my room back?

Well, I'll come and tell you when Rick's gone.

[Dials]

[Phone rings]

Wow! Synchronicity.
Before anything else, about last night...

Listen. If you're called, then you're called.
I mean, it was a bit abrupt.

My first thought was that you were trying
to escape under the cover of a call-out.

No, it was real. It was very real.

So, do you want to meet up again?

Oh, yes, please.

When were you thinking?

- Tonight?
- Ah, I'm taking the girls out.

- OK. Tomorrow's out for me.
- Yeah, I'm back at work tomorrow.

I'm on call the next night.

Friday?

Friday I'm on call, but we could risk it.

Mmm, tempting fate.

- Saturday's good all day.
- Yeah, Saturday's a bit___no_

Well, I don't know. I've got choir practice
at St Saviour's_ That finishes at five.

And then the band have got a gig across town.

Do you want to come?

You're on.

St Saviour's at five.

- Bye, William.
- Bye, Mary.

- I really liked the gig.
- Yeah?

- Great.

Oh, thank you.

- It's a tenner_
- Oh, come on!

What? Oh, come on.
Look, we're not all postmen

- I'm happy to pay.
- Yeah, she's happy to pay.

Oh, for God's sake, Billy!

So, what do you think of our William, then?

Well, we're off now. There's your £1 O.

Where are you going?

She hasn't told me what she thinks of me yet.
I don't want her to do it in front of you!

[Protesting voices]

- Enjoy your drinks. Have a nice night.
- Thanks. Bye.

- See you.
- We'll do this some other time

- William!
- No, no, they're in for an all-nighten

You trust me.
That's not what you want for our first___date_

So, where are we going?

Anywhere we want. I booked us a cab.

WILLIAM: I was at school with most of them

Ah, so they know all your secrets.

Yes. That's another good reason for not staying.

[Mary chuckles]

- So, do you play in the same pub every week?
- No. There's a sort of circuit.

Oh. So, you commute?
You just turn up, play and go.

No, I normally stay over.

I sort of need it. Once a week, I'm not Dad.

I'm me, and I play in a band.

Does that sound really bad?

No. No. Not at all.

So, are you off home to your boys?

Well, I don't have to.

My mum's at home. You should have said.

It would only have taken a call.

I always sleep on Billy's floor.

Not in a hotel, then?

Oh, so, if I'd asked you
to come and see me play in a band,

and then spend the night in a hotel...

[Chuckles] No. I'm in the hotel.
You're on Billy's floor.

Oh, right. Yeah, I see.

So...

Neither of us has to go home, then.

- Yeah, I will.
WILLIAM: Yes, it was fine. Thanks very much.

OK. See you in the morning. Thanks. Bye.

Yeah, OK. Bye.

- Everything all right?
- Yeah. You?

WILLIAM: No, I'll get this. On the firm.

- What firm?
- The band.

We do actually get paid for doing that.

What, you've got a credit card
with "No Name" on it?

Yep. That's right. You don't even have to sign it.
You just wave it at them.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Did you really look at all those women
and just pick me?

Well, I looked at lots,
and then I stopped looking when I got to you.

Why?

- You've got laughing eyes.
- [Laughs]

- Laughing eyes?
- Yeah.

And then I saw you were a midwife.

And then I heard you talking about yourself.

And that was it. I didn't bother with the others.

Well, what if I'd been___l don't know...

_.a tax collector?

I'd still have liked you.

Would you have looked the same?

What, you think I get these
from being a midwife?

Some of the most miserable people I know
are midwives.

You know, I just like the thought of them

Delivering all those...

Babies.

No. Well, yeah.

No, all those hopes, all that potential___life_

Yeah. Babies.

And 100 years ago,
they used to lay out the dead, didn't they?

Wash the bodies, prepare them for burial.

They brought you into the world,
and they saw you out.

I didn't know that. How do you know that?

Oh, I don't know. I must have read it somewhere.

I don't know.

I don't care.

I'm happy.

I'm in bed with one.

[Mobile phone rings]

[Mary groans]

Hello, Mum.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm on the tube now, OK?

Mind the gap.

Mind the gap.

- Yeah. In about an hour.
- [Phone rings]

it's someone else's mobile ringing.

Look, I think we might be coming up to a tunnel,
so we might get...

Kate.

No.

No, you've got school tomorrow.

Er___Katie, I'm going to be home
in about an hour. Can we talk about this then?

[Electric drill whirring]

Hello.

Hi, Rick. Nice wardrobes.

Oi! Sleeping beauties.

Tell me what you think of that

Please, Dad. Please. Come on, please.

- No. I've said no, haven't I?
- Please, please. Why? Why?

You want to go to a party on a Sunday,
when it's your first day of school tomorrow?

Yeah, cos today's her birthday,
and last night was Tracey's,

which I wasn't invited to, and I really want to go.
Everyone'll be there. Please.

OK. All right.

[Mobile phone rings]

Hello?

Thank you, Doctor.

- I've left the Death Certificate.
- Oh, thank you.

- I know you shouldn't be here.
- Of course I should.

No, Dr Currie told me that you couldn't
contact us, but I had to let you know.

Tom, I am glad and honoured
that you called me.

Nothing else matters, OK?

- Can I go and see her?
- Please.

I just woke up this morning...

Martha was lying on her breast, suckling...

and she was dead.

Oh, Sal.

[Baby cries]

[Baby wails]

Here. Let me.

There.

That's it.

There we go.

She was amazing.

She thought of everything.

Isn't that amazing,
to find an undertaker that'll do cardboard coffins,

and leave me the number?

Well, she knew what was going to happen, Tom.

And she loved you.

She did, didn't She?

[Knock on door]

Here they are.

No, no, no. I'll do it.

Thanks.

WILLIAM: Mr Jordan? Good afternoon.

William Snawcross Can I offer you
my sincerest condolences at this time?

If there's anything myself or any of my staff
can do for you...

TOM: Come in,

Do you___do you bring her back?

Yes, we can bring her back home, if you'd like

lt's___it's like she's gone away and...

WILLIAM: Let's take things one step at a time,
shall we?

Of course, you can come with us,
but it might be better if we took her body away

and prepared it, and then let you decide.

Yeah, I'll show you where she is.
