Sliding Doors Page #7

it's, it's, it's very, very okay, yeah

But well, at the risk of sounding

old-fashioned, I'll pick you up at eight

Is that a 'will' pick me up,

or a 'haven't, not, didn't, might'?

Listen... don't worry

about your mum. She'll be okay

Remember Monty Python

Well I'll see you later

Bye

How are you?

Yeah, just... you know...

Is Gerry excited

about being a daddy?

I haven't told him yet

Never seems to

be the right moment somehow

Come on... let's celebrate

with a proper drink

Bloody marvellous idea

I really shouldn't in my condition

but I'm really going to

What have you got?

Um... brandy

Oh, no, yuk. Makes me vomit

Half day?

James?!

Since last night?

Sorry

You can't tell from one

They can be inaccurate

I bought three packets

Two in a packet, that's six

You can tell from six

What are you gonna do?

Is James Hammerton in?

I'm afraid not

Um, do you know when he's due back?

I'm not sure. He's gone to visit his mother

in hospital with his wife

Would you like to leave a message?

What?

Can I take a name and number?

Get him to call you

Um... no, thank you

There's something

I want you to know

Anna doesn't drink Brandy, Gerry,

it makes her vomit

and those glasses were

not used at the party

They only come out for

special dinners, you know that

Am I meant to immediately

get the reference here?

Are you having an affair?

Just tell me yes or no

No, I'm not

Helen, look into my eyes

I am not having an affair

I'm not

Well, I shouldn't have brought this up now,

I've got to go to my interview

We'll talk later

Are you going to be here

when I get back?

Yes. Of course

Helen... listen

Good luck, okay

Hello

Hi, Anna, is Helen there?

You've got a damned nerve

phoning here

What?

Anna, please, just open the door.

I don't know what's going on

You dono't know what's going on?

I'll tell you then. She saw you, James,

at the hospital. With your wife

You know, the one

with the wedding ring

What is it with you bloody men?

We're not just here...

Anna, let me see her. I can...

She's not here

Where is she?

What's it to you? I don't know

Oh sh*t, sh*t. Bollocks

Oh God. You idiot!

Clive, you seen Helen?

No. Why?

Helen!

Helen!

Helen...

Helen, you've made a mistake

Oh, I am such an idiot.

Helen, look at me

Listen to me, please

No, you listen!

I never want to see you again

I have been throught enough

for one year

I stupidly believed that here was

a man who was different from 'men '

But it is clear

that I made a mistake

Now please...

do me a favour and go away!

I am married, Helen,

but I am separated

Walk away if you want

but take this with you

The woman you saw today was

the woman I married three years ago

We separated six months ago

and soon we'll be divorced

Nothing aggressive

I didn't tell you before because...

...I don't know why, I...

I have wanted to tell you so many times and

...and now you've found out

another way I wish I had told y ou

My mother is ill in hospital

as you know...

...and Claudia agreed to keep up the

pretence that we were okay still for my mum

As a favour.

She's a very decent woman

Do you have a mum, Helen?

Ten minutes, Lydia

And don't ever turn up at

my kitchen window again like that

It's over. You know?

You said it yourself

I know. Sorry, I wasn't thinking

I just want to show you something

Oh, Helen...

if we are not gonna be together then let's

make sure it's for the right reason

And right now

there is no reason, none

there is just confusion and

it can be erased in a split second

Get that, would you?

Of course, if you don't

want to keep it, darling...

Who is it?

Oh, hello again.

You're right on time

Is this the truth, James?

Permission to engage

the enemy, sir?

Thing is, I can't take

the interview just now

I'm discussing whether or not I'm

going to keep your boyfriend's baby

James...

...there's something

I have to tell you

I'm so sorry you had to

hear it this way, Helen

Er, I really should just phone

Anna and tell her I'm okay

Helen

I love you

Helen, wait, please. Wait!

Let me go!

Helen!

Helen!

James... are you her husband?

Er... I will be.

We're, we're getting married

If I could have a quick word?

Helen has suffered major

internal injuries, James

Helen has lost her baby,

I'm afraid, Gerry

I'm afraid she's lost her baby

You did know she was pregnant?

Did you know she was pregnant?

She will be okay though, won't she?

She is, she is going to wake up,

isn't she, Doctor?

Helen, for some reason

I know you can hear me

I'm glad we got things

sorted out... tonight

I'm glad you caught

the train that day

I am going to make you so happy

I promise

Helen?

Helen!

Helen!

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me, Helen?

I'm sorry I'm late

Ah, no problem

I'm pleased to say your mother's showing

some signs of improvement this morning

She's sitting up

and she's had a full breakfast

That's great

Helen, I swear...

I'll do anything you want, Helen

Will you?

In that case,

I want you to stand up...

...walk over to the door...

...open it... walk through it...

...then close it behind you

Ta-ta, mum

Call us if you have

any problems at all

Thank you

You're very fortunate, Helen.

You had a lucky escape

Say that again

Thank you

Thank you

Cheer up. You know

what the Monty Python boys say

"Nobody expects

the spanish Inquisition"
