Are you gonna leave me as well?

No, mate.

No, I wanna stay the full visiting hours.

Hold the pads for Manny, eh?

Manny, do some pads.

So, open your hand up.

Come and sit down. Time, boys. Time.

That's it. Now come and sit down.

That's it. Go and get some water.

(DIALOGUE MUTED)

Do you wanna go out and get some air, mate?

She's not coming back.

She is, mate.

I'm doing the best I can.

Oh, mate.

Come here.

I know you are, brother, eh?

Come on, let's get your coat

and get you out, yeah?

Get some air.

Er, Jackie?

What if she comes back when I'm gone?

She's got a key.

Oh.

Okay.

My dad's not here, Jackie.

No.

He's still alive in you, isn't he?

And in your Mia.

Why she's, um... punishing me?

No, mate, she isn't punishing you, is she?

She's just taking time

to get her head together, that's all.

Thank you for being my friend.

Oh, mate, it's my pleasure, innit?

I'm just sorry I left you for so long.

You can't look after me forever.

No, you're right, I can't,

but we'll make sure you're all right.

People will think we're married.

(JACKIE LAUGHS)

I wouldn't marry you, mate. You're too ugly.
