How I Live Now Page #2
There's going to be
a World War Ill.
No, there isn't.
Stop being a dick,
and get Daisy
something to eat.
I'm not a dick!
- I'm actually not that hungry.
- Dick dick dick.
All right, Jet, I'm doing it.
We let you sleep in.
Eddie said you needed
to catch up on some rest.
- Did he?
- Are you a vampire?
No.
How much
dead animal do you want?
I'm really not hungry.
If you want,
I can make you a sandwich.
We've got some
really nice cheese.
No. I don't do wheat
or cow cheese.
- Cow cheese?
- Knob cheese.
Why don't you eat cow cheese?
Because it's basically
solidified cow mucus.
It stays in your gut
for like five years.
Morning.
Did you get
through to your dad?
Yeah. He's fine.
Actually, Isaac, could you pass
me the water, please?
D AIS Y's VOICE:
At least eightglasses of water a day.
Mom said she'd call him
as soon as she can.
Let him know you arrived safely
and all.
No, that's fine.
He said not to bother.
He's kind of busy with work
and the new baby, so...
Increasing the supply
of the brain hormone...
Hey.
Have you got something
to say to me?
What are you looking at?
What was that all about?
It should be
taken once a day with water.
Stay away from distractions,
distractions,
distractions, distractions.
Step out
of your comfort zone.
Successful people think...
Who is it?
U h, we're going fishing,
if you wanna come.
I don't fish.
Ugh, gross!
d You've got me
in a headlock, darling
d And I don't know
how to breathe d
d You've turned me
upside down... d
- Come on, let's go.
- Let's go!
Come on, move!
You can't have the fish.
No, you can't.
Off!
You don't want them.
They're all slimy.
Come on.
- Die! Die!
- No way, it's ceasefire.
Terrorist forces don't
respect the ceasefire.
- You're dead.
- You don't want fish.
- It's disgusting.
- Wait for me.
Not there! Come on!
For f***'s sake,
do you understand
the implication here?
Have you got any idea
what you're imposing?
You are going to completely
lose any credibility.
No.
...the whole point is
to focus on the ceasefire.
What's the point in going
over it all again
when I'm getting on a plane
at 10:
00 in the morning?We can talk about this
in-person before the briefing.
I'm not being emotional.
The reason my email
mentioned my kids
is 'cause we both know
and I've got to get on a plane
and leave them here,
so don't expect me to be f***ing
calm about it, all right?
- Edmond?
- No.
It's Daisy.
Elizabeth.
Oh, Pascale, Pascale,
I'll call you back.
Come in.
Hey.
Look at you.
I'm sorry I've been
so bloody useless.
It's this peace process.
It's a complete nightmare.
Hello? Ah, Anya.
I have spoken to Pascale,
and I'll call you back
in five minutes.
All right? All right.
Sorry about that.
Sit.
Yes.
Always prepare for the worst.
It's the best way
to ensure it never happens.
Is everything okay?
Everything's gonna be fine.
So...
how are you settling in?
Yeah, it's... it's fine.
I hope my children
are looking after you.
Let them wait.
Ah, now I've got you here,
I just wanted to ask...
I've got to fly to Geneva in
the morning for a couple of days
and I can't decide whether
or not to tell your father.
What do you think?
I don't want him
to worry unnecessarily.
Don't bother.
If my dad cared about me,
I wouldn't be here, so...
don't worry about it.
- What?
- Sorry. It's just...
Just the way you said
that just
really reminded me of Julia.
Mmm.
It's funny.
She used to love it here.
It was her favorite place.
My mom came here?
Of course.
Didn't your father
tell you that?
No.
No.
Well, actually,
the room you're staying in,
that's where
she used to sleep.
I've got to take this.
Sorry.
Yeah. Oh hi, Sam.
No no no, it's fine. It's fine.
If you tell me your thoughts,
I will give you
a rough estimate. Yeah.
Uh, Daisy? Daisy,
don't worry about anything.
My friend Sally's gonna come up
and look after everything
while I'm away, okay?
All right. Good night!
Yes.
Come back quickly.
Hey, um...
we're gonna go swimming
before Sally gets here
and makes us eat vegetables.
Do you wanna come?
I don't swim.
It's like
a really special place.
You'll love it.
It's your last chance
to have some fun
before the fascist regime.
U h-huh.
Maybe next time.
Okay.
Stop stop.
Stay away from distractions.
Take risks.
Step out
of your comfort zone.
Physical shortcomings.
Find the goal of your life.
Hey.
Hey.
What?
I can't change my mind?
Oh no. Not her!
N.B., just because
I'm attending
doesn't mean I'm participating.
There will be no swimming.
Yeah, we'll see.
- Hey, Jet, come on.
- Come on, Jet.
- Jet!
- Come on, baby.
Cool.
Come on, let's go.
Come on.
- Come on.
- Jet!
Can't catch me!
Hello. Good dog.
Come on, let's go. Hey.
Don't go near them.
Come on, let's go.
Are those cows or bulls?
Hey, guys?
They're cows... cows!
Cow-cheese cows!
It's fine. You go on.
- They won't hurt you.
- I know.
I'm... I'm fine.
I'm just gonna go home.
I didn't really wanna ...
go swmmng anyway, so.
Wait here.
No way.
How'd you do that?
- Oh ow! Ow sh*t!
- You okay?
Aw, f***ing dirty fence.
- You're bleeding.
- It's cool.
- It's not a big deal.
- Let me see.
It's really fine.
We'd better catch up.
- Piper!
- Look, I did it!
Look at this! Come on!
Oh, it's cold!
It's cold! It's cold!
Whoo!
Jet, oh, come here.
- Joe, come on in.
- Come on, Jet.
- Catch! Catch, Jet!
- It's freezing.
Seriously, man,
it's not that cold.
Hey! Oh, careful!
Do you have any idea
what kind of bacteria
lives in river water?
Not this water.
Come on, Daisy.
No one ever comes here
and doesn't go swimming.
Yeah well, there's a first time
for everything.
Whoa, saved your life.
- Daisy, come and look at this.
- What?
Just come and you'll see.
Quick.
You're gonna miss it.
Look, can you see it
right there?
- No.
- Look. Just right there.
Look. Right here.
- Right there. Look.
- All these rules...
you think you've got
to obey them.
What are you talking about?
All that noise inside your head.
Dumb baby.
Stop it.
It's in your head.
You f***!
He loves me.
He loves me not.
He loves me.
He loves me not.
This is how you make
the best marshmallows.
Place it in quite
a small place
and make sure
it's quite a hot place.
Don't put it in
for too long.
Try some of this.
- Mmm, do I have to?
- Yes.
It's really good.
Mmm.
These are actually
pretty good.
What's up with them?
It's probably Sally just
getting into the house.
- They can hear for miles.
- Sally's our au pair.
She's got
double-jointed thumbs.
What's happening?
I'd better get home.
It's snowing.
Get the stuff.
We're going.
Piper, come on.
We're going now.
Sally!
Sally!
Sally?
Sally!
I wanna see
what the TV says.
Piper.
- What's going on?
- Sally's not here.
And I tried phoning mom,
