Caregiver Page #3

- Ouch!

- Bugger off!

Ouch!

It was really embarrassing!

The first Filipino I meet here is a thief!

At an early age!

He said, "Bugger off!"

What does that mean?

"Bugger off" is like "Get lost"

or "Go to hell!"

That's a cuss word.

Why?

That's what the little critter screamed

at me when I caught him shoplifting.

- How rude!

- He's a hooligan!

What's that?

Hooligan to us is like

a gangster or a lost boy.

Juvenile delinquent.

Why didn't you just say

"juvenile delinquent"...

instead of "hooligan"!

Even though they speak English

in London...

the language is still

somewhat different.

Like a TV, they call it "telly".

- A "lift" is an elevator.

- How confusing!

And they call me an

English teacher back home!

You'll memorize it soon.

In two months,

you'll even speak with an accent.

- Here, honey.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Look, it's so cute.

It must be fun to ride that.

They say when you travel

the whole River Thames...

you'll see almost all

the famous tourist spots in London.

They say it's the

most romantic thing to do here.

Especially at night.

Really?

Let's ride it!

How much do you think is a ticket?

- But that includes a bottle of champagne.

- No way! I'll buy a postcard instead!

- I already bought us.

- A postcard?

Tickets! For two.

For our anniversary.

Advanced booking!

You and I already have a date.

Thank you.

The peace of the Lord be with you always.

And also with you.

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

Peace be with you.

Lamb of God who takes away

the sins of the world...

- Hi!

- Hi

Would you like to join us

for a Bible study?

Thank you.

Don't mingle with them too much,

they're maids.

- So what?

- I don't want you to.

What did the Missus say?

She got mad at first

because of the extra expense.

But I told her we deserve it.

She said I should've consulted her.

It hasn't been a week since

the TVarrived and already...

I couldn't touch the remote control!

Our youngest is also in third grade!

I'm so excited!

They will finally be here by year's end!

Who will look after them while you work?

We have a Filipino neighbor.

They got their Mother petitioned.

Instead of doing nothing,

she sidelines as a nanny!

Won't you miss teaching, Sarah?

Why, do you miss being a doctor?

- You're a doctor?

- My husband was an ex-doctor.

Hey, I'm still a doctor.

Once a doctor, always a doctor.

Do you miss it?

No.

I'm happy with my job.

How much does a doctor earn

in the Philippines?

A nurse's salary here is bigger.

A senior carer's salary is bigger.

It seems Ted's work as a nurse here

was the right decision.

Buddy, can you pass me the stew?

We don't really need this...

although it's helpful to know

you've taken this course.

You see, after six months,

it is mandatory...

for us to send all recruits

to school in the UK...

so they get certified.

What I like about you

is your English is good.

It's very hard for us to find carers who

can communicate well with the residents.

So.

You're all set.

Do a good job there, Ok?

It's tough at the start

but you'll get used to it.

I'm nervous already.

Don't be nervous. Be strong.

You should be happy because everything

is working according to our plans.

Paulo will be happy because we can

petition him once we save enough money.

That's what I was saying.

We'll help each other, right?

We can split the household chores.

I wash the dishes, you clean the toilet.

We can take turns doing laundry.

You cook, while I do the grocery.

Do you know how to do that?

Then I'll just leave money

for the grocery.

I knew it.

Honey, you bought a new TV?

This looks expensive!

Honey, it's six months to pay

with zero interest!

I just want a nice TV for my wife!

Especially now that you got a job.

I want you to relax when you're off-duty.

But the old TV worked just fine!

Honey, I already bought it.

I'm off to work. Where's my kiss?

Honey.

Congratulations again on your new job.

Hi, Sue!

This is our quarters.

This is Sarah, our new sister.

- It's her first day.

- Really?

This is the shower room.

This is where you'll sit them.

This is where they receive guests.

Visitors may also go up

to their rooms if they wish.

Sometimes the residents have

luncheons here with their visitors.

That one has many visitors.

That's because he's new here.

The longer they stay here

the less their family visits.

That's Lily.

In my long service here,

I've never seen her with a single visitor.

I'll introduce you.

Good day, Lily!

This is our new sister, Sarah.

Lily's easy to take care.

Hello Lily, my name is Sarah.

I'm going to take care of you from now on.

We always work in pairs.

You can't work by yourself.

In case I'm not your partner,

my tip to you is...

Choose a carer with a big body

so you can carry patients easily.

Kate, can you give me

a hand here please?

I can't, I have a bad back.

That's it? "Hold the chair"

was all she could help?

She has a wrestler's body for nothing?

She thinks she's special.

It's because she's Briton

that's why she's bossing you around.

Don't let her boss you.

Is it filled?

Very filled.

Remove it so we can give her a bath.

What?

Remove it so we can wash her ass.

Go on and wipe the ass.

We still a lot of work to do.

I can't do it.

Make yourself do it.

I can't.

Are you giving up now?

You're already here.

This is it, no backing out.

Are you talking about me?

Oh no Lily, we're just talking about...

Pounds.

Pounds?

Pounds.

Pounds.

Pounds.

Ok Lily, open your mouth now, sweetheart.

Come on my good girl.

You need to eat this, it's really yummy.

Very good job. That's my girl.

Is that you, Mummy?

It's Mummy, Darling.

Why did you leave me?

Paulo, take care of your things...

they're expensive!

I couldn't even call you often

because it's expensive.

Just to say I miss you, I love you...

I didn't know you have problems.

Now I have to recompute my budget...

Do you always pray?

It's nice to still catch you.

How was work?

Ok as usual.

You're late.

There's food in the fridge.

Heat it up in the microwave.

Ok.

- Bye, I love you.

- I love you.

Number 65.

Do you have a "65" in "O"?

You got one, girl.

I think she'll beat me, let's see...

Nigel!

What are you doing?

I want to swim!

No, no! Nigel, no!

It's time to sleep now, Nigel.

Karen, it's Lily!

She's dead?

Debbie, don't be so morbid.

Sarah, can you do me a favor?

Can you give Lily's family a call?

I'll make arrangements for the undertaker.

Resign?

You just started,

and you're thinking about resigning.

It wouldn't be so bad if I start

looking for a different job.

I can be a maid or a nanny...

Anything, just not at the nursing home.

Sarah, what's the problem?

I told you it will be like this,

the hours are long...

We barely see each other.

Don't add up to our problems.

It's only been weeks

and you're tired already.

All you need is sleep.

I get affected.

It's hard to take care of people
