How About You... Page #2

Hey?

Ellie, Waking

Everyone Up

In The Middle Of

The Night Is Not On.

Sorry!

Nurse Has Been

Complaining About You Again.

Said She Had To

Serve Breakfast By Herself This Morning.

Where Were You?

I Was With Alice,

She Needed To Talk.

I'm Not Paying You

To Sit Around Chatting.

Anything Else?

No.

God, You're

So Uptight All The Time. Jeez!

When Was The

Last Time You Took A Holiday?

All That Money You

Got When David Died.

What About It?

Why Don't You

Spend Some Of It?

How Do You Think

I Bought This Place?

Always Poking Your

Nose Into Things

That Don't Concern

You, Aren't You?

We're Going To

End Up Like Them If We're Not Careful.

Yeah.

They Spent

Their Whole Lives

Looking After

Their Invalid Mother.

And Then When

She Died,

They Didn't

Know What To Do With Themselves.

So They Moved

In Here?

Mm-Hmm.

Dietrich:
[ On Tv ]

I Never Faint

Because I'm Not

Sure That I Would Fall Gracefully

And I Never Use

Smelling Salts...

[ Imitating Dietrich ]

I Never Use Smelling Salts,

Because Zey

Puff Up Ze Eyes.

[ Laughing ]

[ Knock On Door ]

Yes? Yes?

I Found

Your Earring.

Oh, You Are An Angel.

[ ]

Georgia Summers?

That Was

Your Stage Name.

Very Glamorous.

I Suppose "Platt"

Isn't Very...

Darling, Could You

Make Me A Martini?

That's What

I Need.

I Didn't Know You

Were Allowed Alcohol.

We're Not Prisoners.

We Actually Pay

To Be Here,

Bizarrely Enough.

Whisper Of Dry Vermouth.

Shake And Pour,

And Don't Forget

The Olive.

Are You Out

Of Your Mind?

What?

I Could Be

Arrested For This.

Would You Relax?

It's A Tiny Bit

Of Grass,

And It's For Alice.

Oh, Oh! It's

For Alice.

Oh, Silly Me.

Oh, That's

Okay, So...

What... What

Are You Doing?

You Do This Again

And You're Out, Do You Hear?

And If You've

Any More Drugs, Get Rid Of Them.

You Just Don't

Think, Do You?

You Know, If You

Want To Mess Up Your Own Life,

That's Fine.

Just Don't Try

And Drag Me

Down With You.

Yeah, You Don't Need

My Help For That.

Oh, You Always Have

The Smart Answer, Don't You?

It Helps Her

With Her Pain.

She's Dying, Kate.

I Was Trying

To Help Her.

You're Trying

To Get Me Closed Down, You Mean.

This Is

My Premises,

I'll Be Held

Responsible.

These Are Going

Down The Toilet.

Oh, You And

Your F***ing Rules!

Huh...

[ Piano ]

[ ]

Yes.

Was That Absolutely

Necessary?

Oh, Tactics, My Darling,

As Our Donald Would Say.

Tactics.

Mammy Always Said You

Were Too Competitive.

[ Quiet Cackle ]

[ Grunt ]

[ Balls Clattering ]

Oops-A-Daisy.

Who's Having Tea?

[ Growling ]

Hazel:

Two Shots To Me.

Oh No, Ellie! You

Totally Distracted Me.

I Was Just About

To Pot The Ball.

Did You Not Think...

God Almighty!

What Are You

Laughing At?

You Stupid

Woman! God!

[ Screaming ]

Jesus Christ, What's

Happened To You?

Jesus, Mary

And Joseph.

Hazel, Let Me

See Your Eyes!

Please! Please,

Let Me See If You're Blinded!

Oh, Thank God!

There's No

Blood, Darling.

Kate:

What Were You Thinking?

Ellie:

It Was An Accident.

Look, I Wasn't Even

Aiming For Hazel,

I Was Aiming

For Heather.

Well, I

Warned You.

So You Can

Pack Your Bags And Leave.

Oh, Come On, Kate.

Look, What Am

I Supposed To Do When I'm Attacked?

Attacked?

By A Woman

Twice Your Age In A Residential Home?

You Let Them Get

Away With Murder.

I've A Business To Run.

Yeah. Well, If You

Ask Me, You're Running It Into The Ground.

Well, I Didn't

Ask You,

And You're Not

Making My Life Any Easier.

I Have A Department

Of Health Inspector

Due Here Soon.

It'll Be Just Great

If Hazel Tells Them

What Happened

To Her Eye.

Staff Attacking

Residents?

It Was Hardly An Attack.

She Didn't Even Need

That F***ing Eye Patch.

I Don't Need

Any More Trouble.

So...

Where Will

You Go?

Look, I'm

Really Sorry.

I Didn't Mean It.

Would You Give Me One

More Chance, Please?

Please.

[ Mixed Whispers ]

Various:

Go On. Get It. Get The Remote Control.

He's Asleep.

[ Growl ]

[ Gasping ]

[ ]

You'll Be Able

To Munch Through Acres Of Grass

With Those New

Gnashers, Mary.

[ Chuckling ]

[ Sobbing ]

That Was

A Horrible Thing To Say.

Horrible, But True!

Bloody Dentist!

I'd Like To Gnash

His Gnashers.

I'll Have Tea.

A Little Milk,

No Sugar.

Get It Yourself.

I Said, No Sugar

And A Little Milk.

[ Sigh ]

[ Cup Rattling ]

[ Tv Chatter ]

[ ]

[ Knocking On Door ]

[ ]

[ Gasp ]

God. Jeez.

What Are You

Doing In Here?

Your Nerves Are

In A Bad Way.

You Shouldn't

Be In Here,

And You Certainly

Shouldn't Be Smoking.

Your Concern

For My Health Is So Touching.

[ ]

Hot Date, Have We?

[ Chortle ]

I Suppose

"Honk-Honk"

Is Zooming Up

Late As Usual.

We're Supposed To

Keep IThem/I Waiting,

Not The Other

Way 'round.

[ ]

Honk-Honk.

[ ]

Ellie:
[ Distant ]

Hello! Dan?

Can You Hear Me?

Sh*t!

[ Knocking ]

[ Muffled ]

Do You Want To Come In?

Sh*t...

Is He Always Late?

He's Just Been Working

Really Hard Lately.

[ Cellphone Chiming ]

[ Sigh ]

He's Not

Coming, Is He?

No, He's Busy.

Well, Do You Want

To See A Film?

We Could Get

A Pizza...

No, I Don't.

It's Saturday Night,

I Want To Go Out.

Look, Why

Don't We Go?

[ Laugh ]

Are You Mad?

Kate, It's Been

Five Years Now Since David Died.

How Do You Expect

To Meet Anyone

If You Don't

Get Out There?

Ellie:

When Did Donald's Wife Die?

Um... Couple

Of Years Ago.

I Bet He Never

Acted The Arsehole

When She Was Around.

Why?

I Was Just Wondering.

It's Funny How

Differently

People Respond To Loss.

What Did She Die Of?

Cancer.

Same As David.

He Doesn't Like

To Talk About It.

I Wonder

What's Worse...

Dying, Or Being

The One Watching,

Not Being Able

To Do Anything.

Either Way,

It's Shite, Ellie.

F*** It. I'm Going To

Go And Surprise Him.

Some Men Don't Like

To Be Surprised.

He's Not Like That.

He'll Love It!

Close The Bloody Door.

[ ]

[ Sniffling ]

[ ]

[ Steps Creaking ]

Man:

As You Know, The Department Needs To Ensure

Regulations Are Met.

Kate:

Yes, I'll See What I Can Get Done

With That Application

In The Meantime.

And, Uh, I Need It

On My Desk A.S.A.P.

Yes, Thank You

Very Much, Mr. Evans.

Elle, Are You

All Right?

You Look A Bit...

Yeah, I'm Fine.

How Was Dan?

Great.

So, He Didn't Mind

Being Surprised, Then?

No. Why

Should He?

Who Was That?

Mmm. Department

Of Health.

Mr. Evans.

He Likes Dropping

In Unannounced Every So Often,

To See If He'll

Catch Us Torturing The Residents.

Oh! Look,

Missed A Bit.

[ Sigh ]

Hi, Alice.

I Have Something

For You.

What's Wrong, Ellie?

You Look Tired.

[ Sniffle ]

Take Me Down To The River.

The Nurse'll Have A Fit.

Screw Nurse.

Quick! Quick! Yes!

Shh, Shh...

[ Giggling ]

[ ]

Alice:

[ Giggling ]

Ellie, Just Because

You Split Up With Your Boyfriend

Doesn't Mean

You Can't Go.

Don't Be One

Of Those Women

Who Thinks They

Can Only Do Things

If They Have A Man

At Their Side.

What Does

Your Sister Say?

I Didn't Tell Her.

She'd Just Say,
