[bunniefuu]

[gasps]

[panting]

That's all right.

It's all right. It's all right.

- I can't. - I know.

Come back here. - I can't.

Do it for me.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Molly's gonna be all right.

Terence is going to be all right.

We'll find a new house.

And it will all be all right.

THOMAS: [gibberish]

[television chatter]

Mrs. Ball?

Sorry.

Do you want me to get Thomas's coat for you?

You're very keen on everyone being

out of the house, aren't you?

[QUIETLY] Mrs. on the Ball.

Sorry?

I'll get his coat.

Poppy.

Oh.

Hi, Rick.

Are you two-- you two back together?

Rick, they've been back together for a week.

POPPY: How's Molly?

She's-- she's--

well, she's coming home today.

Yeah, me and Mary are going to go and get her in a bit.

So yeah, fingers crossed.

Thomas, post!

Postman's here!

Hi, William.

Good morning.

That's it, Thomas.

You're the postman.

Whoa, there. Whoa, there, son.

There he goes.

William.

You were so lovely last night.

Oh good, good.

You don't remember, do you?

Well.

How can you not remember?

It happened three times.

Three times?

Oh, it wasn't sex then.

Oh, Mary, don't be cross with me all the time.

[cell phone ringing]

Your phone's ringing.

[distant siren]

[deep breathing]

[humming]

[SINGING] The corn is as high as an elephants--

aye, aye, aye.

And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky.

Yes, I know, the mortuary.

Anytime from this afternoon.

Not at all.

And once again, my condolences, to Mr. Poole.

Yeah, thank you.

Goodbye.

Bloody hell, Rick.

Huh?

Rick, don't forget Molly's mail.

Oh yeah.

Oh, could you leave them on the side for me, please.

No point taking them there and back.

[cell phone ringing]

Oh.

Hello?

Oh yeah, Poppy, I know what I've been meaning to ask you.

What do you think about Kate and Brendan going

off around the world together?

[mouthing words]

Oh, sorry, haven't they mentioned it?

Mum, that's a bit--

I mean, who do you think you are, Molly?

Mary?

Sorry.

Can you see a house at half 11?

- Uh, yeah, yeah. - Yes.

OK. - Well, don't worry.

If we don't stump up the money for the tickets,

they won't be going anywhere.

All right.

Here's the address.

I'll see you there at half 11.

Mary, we should be going to the hospital to get Molly.

William.

Yes?

You said, bloody hell, Rick.

Oh, I know.

It's only that Arnold and I have got to go to the mortuary

this morning.

And Mrs. Spalding's still away.

So that leaves nobody in the office.

Well, I think there will be today.

I think Arnold's hired a new receptionist.

Arnold has?

Well, I think that's what he said.

Of course, I could be wrong--

probably am.

Yes, just ignore me.

It was probably just pillow talk.

Thomas.

Thomas, say goodbye to everybody.

THOMAS: Bye.

Brandon, do you want a lift?

No, you're all right.

We're doing home study--

you know, revising at home?

Revising what, I wonder?

The Internal Affairs of the Netherlands, I expect.

OK.

[distant horn blaring]

WOMAN [ON PA]: Would Mr. Johnson please go to Mortuary, level 5.

[telephones ringing]

Oh, William, apologies.

I couldn't find the keys to the van.

Ah, couldn't find the keys to the van.

I thought you might have been showing

our new receptionist around.

I gather she starts today.

Hmm.

Well, who is she?

What's her name?

Her name?

Uh, uh, it just escapes me.

But I don't think she's starting today.

Well, Mrs. Ball said that she was.

Oh.

Come on.

How-- how do you know her?

Is she qualified?

Oh, yes, yes.

She's worked for an undertaker before.

Who?

Where?

Well, somewhere-- all the details are back at the office.

I'll give her a ring when we go back.

Oh, say, there's a face.

Yeah, Walter Poole.

Yeah, is it?

Brendan, do you want to share this?

Oh. - Yeah.

All right. - Sorry.

Bye, mate.

Bye.

Who was that?

Well, Callum actually.

Callum? What?

My Callum.

Not your Callum.

But yeah, that Callum.

What do you mean, not my Callum?

Well, you dumped him, didn't you?

Yeah, so?

He was gutted.

Now, he's not.

So life moves on.

Why were you talking to him?

Was he asking about me?

Because we're mates.

And no, he didn't ask about you.

There are other things to talk about, you know?

I miss him.

Yeah.

Whatever, Kate.

If you miss him, call him.

[soft dramatic music]

Oh, Mum, your--

your magazines, your competitions.

Oh, I've given them up, lamb.

Don't need them anymore. - Bye-bye, Molly.

[beeping] - Oh, bye-bye.

Thank you. Thank you.

Bye-bye.

NURSE: Good luck.

I don't need it.

I've got that in spades.

Oh, where's Mary? - Hi.

It's Mary Gilcrist. You bleeped me.

RICK: Oh, her beeper-- - Look, read my stars.

RICK: What? MARY: All right.

No, read them. MARY: OK, yeah.

MOLLY: Leo. MARY: All right.

OK, yeah. I'll be there shortly.

MOLLY: Leo, read it. Leo.

OK. Read, Leo.

You know I don't like horoscopes.

Don't-- they all say good things are coming my way.

Read the-- - Sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm needed in theater, OK?

I'll see you back at home.

Sorry. See you later.

RICK: See you later.

Mary.

Emergency section.

We're getting blips on the placenta flow.

Where's William?

We're trying to find him.

He went for a walk.

Mary, this is Maxine, Jan's friend.

She'll be with John.

If you could look after William when we do find him.

William, over here.

How are you?

Listen, Maxine's here, OK?

She's-- she's with Jan.

You've got to change into these.

William, it's going to be OK.

Come on.

Skin a rabbit.

Thank you.

[soft dramatic music]

[chimes]

SURGEON: Dissecting forceps.

[fetal heartbeat]

See, if I'm calling Jane the whole time and writing to her,

trying to get her to come back, then we go and employ somebody

else, do you know what I mean?

There's no denying we need a receptionist.

[groans] But, oh, see what I mean?

[infant crying]

William, look.

Look.

There we are.

[infant crying]

OK.

Bouncing, big-lunged baby boy.

[telephone ringing]

Good morning, McKinnon and Spalding's.

Oh, yes.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh.

Oh, how awful.

Oh dear.

Well, yes, let me take some details.

Yes.

Yes.

Arnold, honestly, I've got to go and meet

Mary to look at another house.

But this may not be a good idea.

Bye.

Hello, little one.

[thunder]

I'll-- I'll try her again.

Oh, Mary.

If you're driving, can you pull over

and let me know where you are?

Because there's other people interested in the house,

and they need a decision.

So-- so if you can't make it, then just call me.

She'll be here.

What?

It's gone.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I know you made a higher offer.

But they said yes to the others.

You could have a look at this one though.

I know it's a higher price.

But I'm thinking it might be worth a look.

Yeah, yeah.

[cell phone ringing]

My t*ts are enormous already.

Look-- look, I'm showing as well.

Doris, you're sticking out.

God, you're barely three months.

What have you got in there?

You are going to have massive t*ts.

Yes.

Eamon's going to love these.

So how do you want me to be, Rick?

How do you want me to behave?

All cowed and scared and fearing the worst?

[SHOUTING] I want you to think about how everyone

else is coping with this.

I was letting everyone in, and it just kicked off.

MOLLY: I know-- - Oh, you know-- you know what?

It's in the starts!

Oh, something good is coming my way!

Yeah, well what about other Leos who's dropped dead today,

Mol?

How were their stars for them?

Are they still singing--

Look, we'll just make a big entrance, OK?

Like lots of welcome home, Molly?

You know?

RICK: [SHOUTING] You might die, Mol.

- Mary. - Noise and--

RICK: You've got every bloody treatment on offer,

and you might die!

Oh!

Molly's home!

[laughter]

Rick?

I'm just doing something.

Rick.

Oh, take no notice of him.

He's a doom meter--

all doom, doom, doom.

Gran, have you read your letters?

You've got loads of mail.

I love letters.

Oh, hello, William. WILLIAM: Hi, Molly.

It's good to have you back.

MOLLY: [laughs]

Here you are, Gran.

Oh, look.

Oh, those.

Oh, don't call me Gran.

Mum and Rick had a big fight.

So it's all a bit fraught.

Did you get my message?

No.

I left you a message.

The-- my woman in ICU, you know, she had an emergency section.

Oh, yeah, I know.

I phoned Doris.

You phoned Doris?

You phoned Doris when?

This afternoon.

Well, come on, Mary.

You didn't show up at that house.

I didn't get a message.

I was worried.

It went well, I hear.

Why do you say it like that?

Like what?

William, I heard how you said it.

BRENDAN: Mum.

Brendan, sorry.

Can you, um, just give us a minute?

Thanks.

Mary.

Look, they'll turn the mother's life support off

now that she's delivered, OK?

So I spent the afternoon with her partner and the baby,

because if that's not bad enough,

social services are going to try and stop

him from getting his own child.

Mary, I'm not objecting.

[sighs] OK.

Look, I'm sorry about the house, all right?

No, it's OK. It's OK.

They got another one we can see tomorrow.

[sighs]

Well, why does that annoy you?

Because I can't do looking at houses at the moment, OK?

I just can't-- not until I know how Mum's going to be.

Mary, looking at houses is exactly what

you should be doing, because there's nothing any of us

can do that's going to change what's

going to happen to Molly.

But we can get Terence back.

And we can find a new house away from here

and find a new school, a better school, or a safer school, one

with not carrying knives all day long.

Those are the things that we can do.

And of course, we miss him.

The family isn't complete without him.

So let's get Terence back.

MOLLY: [shouting]

Look, William, I just--

I just miss him, OK?

I need to have him home.

[interposing voices]

Oh, I've just won 10,000 pounds on--

on one of my competitions.

Look at that now. Have a look.

Oh my god. You have.

You have.

You really have, Molly.

Look at-- I--

I-- I have.

I-- oh.

Congratulations. MOLLY: Oh.

I don't believe it.

Oh, oh, oh.

BRENDAN: That's fantastic, Molly.

Well done.

[interposing voices]

[car doors unlock]

It's just, you know, she said something

good was going to happen.

And if that's it, then--

Yeah.

But it doesn't work like that.

Oh, what?

So in one week you win 10 grand and get the all clear?

Why not?

She slept so badly last night, you know.

I know-- I know she's sleeping now, but--

MARY: Tom-Tom?

Thomas, it's the postman.

He's not here.

William's taken him to nursery.

Is he-- why has he done that?

It's too early.

Well, if you treat him like crap all the time.

He probably prefers not to be here.

Hey, there's three letters here with university stuff

all over them.

Oh, sh*t!

Two for you and one for me.

Then nothing from Callum.

No.

[telephone ringing]

Hello?

William, what is this?

No one calls for two days.

Then Mum calls twice last night, twice this morning.

Um, Terence, what are you doing today?

I'm going to school.

I always go to school.

I'm escorted to school.

Well, um-- here, let's put you down.

I can take that.

That's great, Terence.

That's great.

Listen, I've got a plan, and I need your help.

And out here.

Oh hang on, Terence.

Hey, Tom.

Come and have a look at this.

Oh, Gran, wow.

I'm doing it.

I'm buying them.

- Mum, stop it. - No.

I'm getting them this afternoon.

I'm buying round the world air tickets.

Mum, please.

Pack it in, Mol.

No.

They've got their places at university.

Mum, no, no.

They've got to get their grades first.

Oh. Who says?

You say.

So what?

But Molly, listen.

No, I'm doing it.

It's my money.

Molly, you are going nowhere today.

I'm getting them today.

I'm getting them this afternoon.

Now go away, all of you. Go away.

Just go.

Go back to school.

Go to work.

Go, you especially.

Molly, you want to go out this afternoon, on your own--

why?

I wanted to do it on my own.

I get my results today.

It's not at the end of the week.

I get them today.

[slow dramatic music]

[telephone ringing]

Mrs. Ball-- the phone's ringing.

[horn honks]

William, sorry.

I've got teenagers at home.

Mr. Poole, ready and waiting.

Yeah.

He was ready and waiting yesterday,

but nobody came to see him.

Yeah.

WILLIAM: Rick.

William!

It's for you-- the phone.

It's the estate agent.

Yeah, hello.

I'm just here till 1.

Look, Rick, if you want to be with Molly, we understand.

Oh, yeah, I know.

Cheers.

It's just that she wants me to be here until I have to go

and, well, pick up her results.

Yeah.

She gets them today.

William, sorry.

The estate agent has to go.

- Um-- - Go on.

Yeah, I'll--

Hello? Yeah.

William Shawcross.

Oh, that's great.

That is great. Thank you.

Thanks very much.

I'm delighted.

Yeah, bye.

[dialing telephone]

[telephone ringing]

TERENCE [ON PHONE]: Hello?

Terence.

[infant crying]

Mary.

Jan died this morning.

William was with her.

And as far as these things can be, it was--

it was very gentle.

Where is he now?

Neonatal unit with the baby--

come with me? - Yeah, sure.

Yeah.

Oh, the word filtering down is that social services

won't contest the custody.

So the-- the baby is officially his.

So Thank you for all your help with that.

Have you and your partner signed those forms yet?

Please, please do it.

It's not for you.

It's because-- well, you know, things happen.

And if you're not married, your partner could lose the kids.

Or marry-- get married.

MARY: [laughs]

They're over here.

I think they're an item.

Well, I think it's good.

Some people are being a little judgmental.

But I don't know.

It seems to me to be the most natural thing in the world.

They both just lost somebody that they love.

And well, good luck to them, I say.

Yeah.

They've been up for a few days.

What do you think?

Leave them alone?

Yeah, let them sleep.

[soft dramatic music]

Rick, come on.

Come on, you've got to go.

I'll do that.

If you Arnold, tell him to come and give me

a hand to put Mr. Poole away if no one's

going to come and see him.

- I'll do that with you. - No.

Come on.

Look, it's gotten midday.

And, uh, I'll be thinking of you.

RICK: [SHOUTING] Arnold, I've got to fetch to the hospital

now. Arnold?

He's on the toilet!

ARNOLD: Yes.

Thank you, Betty.

Can you wait a second, Rick?

[clock ticking]

[footsteps]

[shrieking]

[PANICKED] What? What?

- Oh, dear god, it's-- - What?

What? Oh!

Oh sh*t!

[shouting]

Would somebody mind telling me what's going on?

Hello.

Wilfred Poole, brother of the deceased.

Mr. Poole, Arnold McKinnon.

Arnold?

William, this is Wilfred Poole, here to see his brother.

[MOUTHING] Twin.

William Shawcross.

I'm so sorry.

Why?

What's happened?

Your brother.

Oh, well, yes, indeed.

[groaning]

Mr. Poole.

[groaning]

Do you want a chair?

No, no.

But it was a heart attack, wasn't it?

Yes, I believe so.

Mrs. Wilkins-- uh, Sylvia Wimby?

SECRETARY: Dr. Guzman's away today.

Mol, Mol, [BREATHLESS] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

The traffic. Oh my god.

Oh, I don't care.

I don't care.

You're here know.

When you weren't here--

Oh.

Very old sensation, very off.

He's in the butcher's ordering a rack of lamb.

The butcher says, this one, sir?

And Walter goes, [groans]

It wouldn't have been so bad he'd been

run over by a car or something.

But you know, one egg, split in half, peas in a pod.

Well, we're one and the same.

Only he's in there, and I'm, well, waiting,

I suppose, for that--

[groans]

Well, you know, on the cards--

would happen any time.

Yes.

Think I'll go.

But not to the butcher's.

William, about me and Mrs. Ball.

Yeah, later, Arnold.

I've got to call Terence.

Oh.

[phone beeping]

[groans]

That's not funny.

Christopher Marshbrook?

[slow dramatic music]

DORIS: Well, did you say Molly gets her results today?

MARY: Yeah, yeah, she does.

I've got to get out of the hospital

and get some fresh air.

Oh, Doris, can we talk about something else?

How are you?

How's Eamon?

Ugh, don't know.

I haven't seen him for two weeks.

I said, you either get a divorce and marry me,

or I don't want to see you anymore.

You don't need to marry him.

But I do.

I do.

I do.

See, I'm practicing already--

I do.

And you should get married.

Well, you can get married.

[cell phone ringing]

Hi.

No, there's no news yet.

Well, all right then, I'll come

and take you to see a house.

Where are you?

William, I can't go anywhere now.

Mary, waiting on your own isn't going to help anyone.

I'm not on my own.

I'm with Doris.

Now, will you get off the phone.

They might be trying to call.

[sighs] Can I go and see a house?

WILLIAM: Mrs. Ball, do you know where the number

for that estate agent is?

Yes, somewhere.

I can't see that it's somewhere.

Is this it?

No, that's the other one.

Here it is.

Wow, Mrs. Ball, you're marvelous.

Right!

Oh.

Oh, Jane.

Molly Stroud?

Yeah.

Come on, babe.

Mr. Goldstone's away today.

So You'll be seeing Mr. Allam.

Oh, he won't be a moment.

Ah.

Jane.

Jane.

No, thank you, William.

It's a very long way to come just to be humiliated.

Well, but it wasn't my idea.

But somebody had to hold the fort.

I talked things over with my sister.

Whatever Arnold gets up to in his spare time is his business.

Well, yes, it is.

I came back because this is a job I love, a job

I'd love for a very long time.

Whose name is it above the door?

McKinnon and Spalding-- not McKinnon and Ball.

Ball and chain, more like.

Now, wait a minute!

It was only ever going to be temporary, Jane, until you--

Sorry, William, it doesn't look like that to me.

[cell phone ringing]

I'm really not cut out for this, Arnold.

Terence? Yeah, good.

ARNOLD: Whatever you think.

Where are you now?

Sorry.

Right.

Well, good news, Mrs. Johnson.

Your results are all clear.

It takes a while to sink in, I know.

Yeah.

No, she's not Mrs. Johnson.

She's Mrs. Stroud--

Molly Stroud.

Mrs--

[slow dramatic music]

Forgive me.

One moment.

This is driving me crazy.

Look, I can't take this.

Can we just go and get a coffee or something?

Mary.

William, just go away.

No, Mary, I've got to show you something.

No, no!

Mary, it doesn't make a difference whatever happens.

Look, my mother is in there.

Yeah, I know.

And you're not doing anything.

You're just waiting.

You're just letting it happen to you.

But she's my mum.

Yeah, that's why I need you to come and see that this house is

what I think it is, because it's got

a space for Rick and Molly--

whatever happens, if they want it-- their own space.

And when they know, they'll-- they'll call,

you know, when they're ready.

Yeah, OK.

[crying]

Mum?

Mum?

Mum!

Oh, little lamb.

What? What?

What is it?

What?

She's clear!

She's clear!

She's clear!

Oh, that's fantastic news.

[laughter]

Look, Gran's OK. Gran's OK!

I know. I know.

I mean, she's got to go back for monthly checks and that.

But she's all right. - Brendan, I know.

I spoke to her.

[car horn honking]

There you are. Gran!

Gran!

Gran-- Gran, you're all right.

You're well!

And I'm calling you Gran from now on.

[laughter]

[interposing voices]

There you are.

Here we are.

[interposing voices]

Fabulous!

Is there a wine cellar?

[interposing voices]

Ooh.

A Granny flat.

Don't push it.

Mind your heads on that.

Yeah, right.

Mind that.

What do you think, Molly?

It's just until you feel really well again.

Oh.

Yeah.

Just so I can love you to bits anytime you like.

- Oh. - Do you want it?

Yeah? - Yeah, love.

They want it.

We want it.

Well, that's-- that's good, because it's already

ours actually.

MARY: What?

Oh.

OK, room.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa--

wait, wait.

Before you go dashing off and bagging all the best rooms,

there's--

there's one final feature you haven't seen.

It's-- it's not much, but I think you'll enjoy it.

[shrieks] Oh my god!

Oh!

Oh, oh!

I've been there for hours.

[kissing]

Oh, come here.

I haven't seen you--

Hello, Gran.

--since you were at least a first shot.

Hello.

I love you.

MOLLY: I got an announcement to make.

Hey, stop that.

Hey, mate, good to see you.

Good to see you.

This morning, to pass the time, I reserved two

round-the-world air tickets.

Oh, Molly.

And I put some money aside for Terence

and Julia, when the time comes, and Thomas--

sorry about that.

And that leaves, from my 10,000 pounds winnings,



Oh.

Someone goes down the offy.

Yeah.

Hello, [inaudible].

[laughter]

Yeah!

Oh, I love this.

I love this one.

[inaudible]

[music - "la bamba"]

[laughter]

[SINGING] La, la bamba.

You get inside, girls.

I'll see you in a minute.

All right, sweetheart, what are you doing out here?

Come here.

Give us a dance. [SINGING] La, la bamba.

La, la bamba. What are you doing out here.

It's freezing. Come inside.

No, I will.

I'll be in in a minute. - Well, look, hurry up.

I want a dance. - Yeah, yeah.

All right? Don't be long.

Love you.

[music - "la bamba"]

Hey, hey, hey.

Oh, yeah.

That's why there's a whole case of it up in your room, is it?

That's a reserve, just in case.

Yeah, in case you get thirsty.

Oh, Julia, please.

Oh. Oh.

Dad, I served it.

Oh, it's hot.

Have you seen Mary?

She was here a minute ago.

She might be outside. - All right.

Thanks.

And thanks for helping.

That's all right, Dad.

Oh, lovely.

This is great.

This-- I like this service.

Woo!

Whoa!

[laughter]

I'll mark my dance card.

You're next.

That's all right.

I only need two minutes, Molly.

It might be 20, if you like.

I'm in no hurry.

All right.

Jane, thanks for coming.

I really appreciate it.

How could I not have come?

You know I don't have any problem with you, William.

Oh, no, of course I know you--

After all, how long have we known each other?

Almost the same length of time you've known me, Jane.

No, no, William, don't go.

You need to hear this.

Look, I'm not cut out to work with dead people.

Besides which, Jane, like it or not, Arnold and I are an item.

You know what they say about dipping your nib

into the office inkwell?

Oh, really.

Betty, I wish you the best of luck, and Arnold too.

I assume this means my desk and the inkwell

will be clear by Monday.

To do with what you wish, dear.

Hey!

Get your hands off her!

[interposing voices]

I thought I told you.

I turn my back for five minutes,

and you're already shacking up with Billy Big ba*ls here.

Shacking up with him?

And you-- now, you're having a laugh.

Oh, thanks a lot, Doris.

No, Billy, I didn't mean that.

[inaudible]

Right, right, right, that's enough!

Look, what do you want?

You come in here--

I mean, have you got something for me?

Well, like what?

Well, what do you think?

A divorce?

Oh, come on.

Rome wasn't built in a day, love.

Are you all right, Doris?

Yeah, I'm-- I'm fine.

Same old, same old with you, isn't it?

Well, I've just about had enough.

And I don't have to take it anymore.

So go now-- on your way.

Look, Doris.

Love, come on.

No, no!

It's my body and my baby, so push off!

Come on.

See ya.

[slow dramatic music]

[tires squealing]

Ah, William.

Taking the air?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, having a sort of breather, really.

I'm glad that Betty and Jane have sorted themselves out.

Yeah, I should think you are.

I suppose I hold meself partly-- well, mostly--

responsible.

Yeah.

Oh, don't think ill of me, will you?

And then you start to worry if it's all worth it--

you know, my age, second time around.

It's all a bit unexpected, to be honest.

Nice though.

Oh, yes, yes.

I mean, the chase and all that excitement

and then the-- well, what happens after the chase.

Well, Betty will be wondering where I've got to.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm sort of looking for Mary myself.

Right you are.

Kate?

Kate, you're freezing.

Come here.

Callum's not coming.

I left a message.

He knows he's invited.

And he's not coming.

I thought you'd finished with Callum.

I did.

I made a really big mistake, Dad.

I didn't think I cared about him.

But I do.

Oh, sweetheart, oh, oh.

Is it always going to feel as bad as this?

Well, if you really care about them, yeah, yeah.

Oh, come inside.

[interposing voices]

Thanks, Dad.

I think I'll go and get something to eat.

Good idea.

Hey, William, that Doris, she's lovely, isn't she?

Yes, yes, she is.

Yeah, I've seen her before and that, but I never really--

have you go her phone number?

Not on me, but I can get it for you.

No, no bother.

I just thought I might hook up with her sometime.

Well, why don't you ask her now?

Yeah?

I just got all sort of nervous at the idea of asking her.

That's stupid, isn't it?

Yeah, do on.

Good luck to you.

Cheers.

[music - "you must be an angel"]

[SINGING] Come on, sweet angel, take me to heaven now.

Mary?

[gasps] Oh.

Sorry.

William.

What were you looking for?

Um, uh, you.

What?

In the sock drawer?

Oh, well-- well, actually I was--

I was looking for the ring that you gave me--

you know, the wedding ring-- well, engagement ring,

I suppose.

The ring you threw at me?

Yeah.

But you picked it up.

Yeah.

Anyway, I couldn't find it, so.

Oh.

But I was thinking, I--

I shouldn't have done that--

you know, thrown it away like it was--

it was just--

Oh, it's-- it's all right.

No, but it's not all right, is it?

It's not all right, because I've been so horrible.

No, no, I have.

I've been horrible and-- and mean

and, you know, sort of like this-- like grrr.

And although I've had my reasons,

I've still been like that.

And you could have--

you know, maybe even should have--

but you didn't.

You never wavered once, did you?

Well, I-- I did actually a couple of times.

You did?

Yeah, but don't worry.

No, no, no, no, no-- hang on.

You mean I might have lost you?

You're not going to lose me, Mary, not in a million years.

Look what I have with you, Mary.

We've got our family-- our big, beautiful, messy family, five

gorgeous children, and you.

You're my whole world, Mary.

You're my life, and you're not going to lose me.

You see, I wanted to say something like that to you.

So I thought if I came up here and--

and found the ring--

well, if you wanted to ask me again,

I'd say, yes because I can't live without you.

Have you got the ring?

Yeah, it's in my wallet.

I don't want to get married.

I mean, if I thought putting a ring on you

or me would make anything any better, then--

but it couldn't get any better, could it?

This is as good as it gets.

But don't you want the big wedding-- you know, the--

the guests, the band playing, the dress?

Do you?

Actually, no.

[laughs]

Now, come on.

All right, make a wish.

Mind you, we'll be missing out on all those wedding presents.

[laughs]
