00:30Oh, hello, Mr Spencer. Isn't Betty home yet?
00:42No, no, she's still in hospital. I'm going to see her tonight.
00:45Thought I'd take her some apples.
00:47How many?
00:48Well, enough to fill a large bag.
00:51Hoping all right, are you?
00:55Yes, I've been quite busy. I want it all to be nice for her when she gets home.
01:00Been making a few adjustments to the cooker.
01:04Been trying to mend the back door as well.
01:07Never did close properly. And the front door won't open at all.
01:12I expect you've been a bit lonely.
01:14No, not this week.
01:16I've had the carpenters there three days trying to put the door back on.
01:20And the electricity board have been in trying to mend the cooker.
01:24Well, that's 36 new pence, Mr Spencer. All right?
01:28Well, could you take one off?
01:33That's 33 pence.
01:35Could you take another one?
01:38That's 30 pence.
01:43Mr Spencer, how much do you want to spend on the apples?
01:46Well, I'd like to have got some grapes. I want to hold a bit back.
01:50How much, Mr Spencer?
01:5218 pence.
02:00Right.
02:02Now, grapes, wasn't it?
02:05Yes.
02:0920 pence.
02:14Still 20 pence.
02:16Well, supposing I was to have six grapes and another apple?
02:21Six grapes? You can't have six grapes, Mr Spencer. We don't sell them separately.
02:26Well, I'll tell you what.
02:28I'll give you one apple back, and then you give me...
02:32Then you owe me three pence, right?
02:34So if you was to break that bunch of grapes in half, that would be ten pence less the seven you owe me for the apple.
02:42Now, wait a minute. Hold on.
02:44I think I've got enough to buy the apple back.
02:48Three pence, right?
02:50So I'll give you the three pence, you give me the apple.
02:53Now, I'll have half the grapes for seven pence.
02:57You've already paid me for that apple.
02:59Yeah, but you're taking that off the grapes, aren't you?
03:01I'm taking what off the grapes?
03:03The money I just paid you for the apple.
03:05I've just bought it back from you.
03:07But you'd already bought it. You've bought it twice.
03:10Do you want another apple?
03:11No, grapes.
03:14You still want the grapes?
03:16Half the grapes. We decided on that.
03:18Had we?
03:19Yes.
03:20Oh, well, that's ten pence.
03:21Yeah, less the three you owe me for the apple.
03:25You've got six apples.
03:27Yes. I haven't got seven, though.
03:30Well, I know you haven't got seven. I can see you haven't got seven.
03:33Hold on a minute. I just thought.
03:35How much are your bananas?
03:38Here you are, Mr. Spencer.
03:40A present for Betty, for all she's had to put up with.
03:43As well as being in hospital.
03:45Now, just tell her it's from Judy.
03:47Oh, thank you very much.
03:48Off you go now, Mr. Spencer.
03:50You don't want to be late for the hospital, do you?
03:52Oh, no, it's all right.
03:53Going to have my tea first.
03:55Goodbye.
03:56Goodbye.
04:48Where's that door?
04:52Look at me.
05:18Betty!
05:21Steak and kidney pudding.
05:43All right.
05:45Right.
05:47Cup of tea.
05:55Ridiculous.
06:00Oh, it's blocked.
06:05Eat it!
06:09Put that on there.
06:11Cut off.
06:15Tea, tea, tea.
06:34That's your tardy.
06:35That's your tardy.
06:43I don't remember that.
06:51Salad.
07:01Oh, nice.
07:03Right, now...
07:28Edith Cabell.
07:32Edith Cabell.
07:42I've come to see my wife, have you?
07:46I don't think I know her.
07:54They're nice, aren't they?
07:57I never thought to get any.
07:59She'd like some freesias.
08:02Oh, yes.
08:12Look, you must try and cheer up, Mrs Griffin.
08:15Your husband will be here soon and then you can go home.
08:19What?
08:21Of course he'll come.
08:22He's got to come.
08:25There's something wrong with her.
08:26She's been making that noise ever since I came in.
08:28Is it opening time yet?
08:29Opening time?
08:30For the visitors.
08:31I see what you mean, yes.
08:32No, no, no, no.
08:33A few more minutes now.
08:34Let me see.
08:35Oh!
08:36Dr Roberts is looking after my stomach.
08:38Dr Roberts, yes.
08:39Yes, of course.
08:40Aha.
08:42He's looking after me as well.
08:43Oh!
08:45That's yours.
08:46No, no, no, please.
08:47If she wants the curtains drawn, just leave her alone.
08:49She's perfectly all right.
08:50They ought to send her home.
08:52Doctor, it's the same in every ward.
08:54You'll just have to get used to the funny ones.
08:57Yes.
08:58Oh!
09:03When I lay my hands on Mr Griffin, I'm going to give you a piece of my mind.
09:06You saw the state his wife was in.
09:08He's only come to see her once since she's been here.
09:10And with her imagination, she's thinking all kinds of things.
09:13It's absolutely essential that she gets out of here as soon as possible.
09:16Well, with any luck, she'll be going home this evening.
09:19At least that'll be one patient less.
09:21God, I don't know whether I'm coming or going.
09:22I've had to do most of Roberts' work since last Friday,
09:24and he's been in a right old state since that maniac tried to push him down the stairs.
09:28Doctor, it was an accident. The man just slipped against him.
09:31You really must try not to get so upset.
09:34Well, we're probably in for a quiet night.
09:36We do have them, you know.
09:55Can I help you?
09:57Oh, thank you.
10:09You can go in now.
10:12No!
10:14Oh.
10:25Oh.
10:27Oh, Frank, I'm over here.
10:29Oh.
10:32Er, Judy sent the grapes and bananas.
10:35Oh.
10:36And I bought the apples.
10:37Oh.
10:38And flowers, too.
10:40Oh, they're lovely, Frank.
10:43Well, I've been waiting a long time.
10:50They've got some just like this in reception.
10:52Eh?
10:53Only not as nice, though.
10:56I'd, er, I'd a job to find you.
10:58You're in a different ward.
11:00Yes, well, this is the convalescent ward.
11:02They put you in here after you've been done.
11:05We've all been done in this ward.
11:08I shall be home in a few days.
11:10Oh.
11:12Oh, she's always doing that.
11:14And she puts the curtains round so that no-one has to talk to her.
11:19I've had my stitches out.
11:20Would you like to have a look?
11:22No, no, I won't just now.
11:25I'll just have me tea.
11:28What did you have?
11:30Well, it was a kind of a salad.
11:32A salad?
11:34Well, a tomato.
11:39And?
11:41Just a tomato.
11:43Now, I didn't want to bother with too much cooking.
11:45Oh, Frank, you've got to keep your strength up.
11:48I mean, you can't keep on having tomatoes.
11:50Well, and beans.
11:51I've had a lot of beans.
11:55I might cut down on the beans.
11:59I knew this would happen.
12:01I mean, you just can't look after yourself, can you?
12:04I've been worried about you.
12:05Well, there's no need to worry.
12:07I'm fine, really.
12:08It's just that I'm...
12:10What?
12:12What is it? The doctor never said anything.
12:14No, no, don't get upset.
12:15It's just that I'm not supposed to laugh.
12:18Laugh?
12:20Well, it's bad for me.
12:22So you mustn't make me laugh.
12:24None of us are supposed to laugh.
12:32There's not much to laugh at, is there?
12:36Oh, it brightens up later on.
12:38Dr Roberts comes round and we have a bit of a chat.
12:41Is he the one we...
12:43The one you bumped into on the stairs, yes.
12:46He didn't mind, though.
12:47And he did want to meet you.
12:49Oh, nice.
12:50Of course, he had to stay away from the operating theatre
12:52for a couple of days because his hands were still shaking.
12:55But he's fine now.
13:05Her husband hasn't said a word to her.
13:07That's not her husband, Frank.
13:10Aye?
13:12What, is she having something on the side, then?
13:18Oh, she won't be having anything for quite a while yet.
13:22None of us will, Frank.
13:24Ah.
13:25Can I have a drink? The vitamin juice is on the shelf.
13:28Yes.
13:29Oh!
13:31Shall I see if she's all right?
13:33No, she is all right.
13:34The nurse said just to ignore her.
13:37Frank, I went to the lavatory for the first time yesterday.
13:43But you've been in here three weeks.
13:50I walked for the first time.
13:52I went down the hall.
13:56Do you think she wants to go down the hall?
14:00Stop worrying about her, Frank.
14:02Oh!
14:04Oh, no, look, it's all over my bedspread.
14:07It's gone, I might have wet my trousers.
14:11Never mind, never...
14:12Oh, no.
14:17What are you doing?
14:19We don't want them watching us, do we?
14:21Oh, look at this stain.
14:22Get the fruit off the bed.
14:34Oh, no.
14:44Ah!
14:51What's happening?
14:52It's all right, don't worry, everything's going to be all right.
14:55What am I going to tell the nurse about this stain?
14:57It's all right, it's only a bedspread.
14:59Oh, look at it.
15:04It's all right.
15:16Shh!
15:24Put this here.
15:29Ah!
15:35There, you'll be warmer now.
15:53Where did I keep the bedspreads?
15:55Where's my bedspread?
15:57I've lost it.
15:58You can't have done, you haven't had time to go outside the ward.
16:01It accidentally got on top of somebody else's bed.
16:03Well, get it back, I want my bedspread, Frank.
16:06All right, I'm getting it.
16:08And don't lose that as well.
16:10It's all right.
16:12I've got to be a bit diplomatic, haven't I?
16:14I've got to get it off her, see?
16:28I'm Mr Spencer.
16:31The wife's a bit tired, so I thought I'd try you.
16:37Talk to you.
16:41Is your husband coming?
16:45No, no, no, don't cry.
16:47You mustn't cry, like, you're not supposed to cry, but...
16:50No, no, that's not right.
16:52You can cry, but you mustn't laugh.
16:54Come on, now.
16:55Ooh, up your cheek.
16:58So, you've finally turned up.
17:01Yes.
17:03I'm here.
17:04I want a word with you.
17:17Your wife's very upset.
17:19Yes, I know, but you mustn't blame her.
17:21It's my fault.
17:22Blame her? I don't blame her.
17:23She's a very emotional woman who's recovering from a serious operation.
17:26Things have been difficult enough without you.
17:28Now, have you brought her things?
17:29Things?
17:30Well, you have brought what she needs.
17:31Well, I've got her some apples, grapes and two bananas.
17:35That's not much good, is it?
17:36It's all lock of the falls.
17:38What about her clothes?
17:39She buys her own.
17:42Her clothes? You have brought them with you.
17:44No, I haven't had a chance to wash them yet.
17:47Well, she's got a clean nightie.
17:49Look, you do know that she can go home tonight?
17:51Go home?
17:52She can't go home, she's only just been to the lavatory.
17:57I'm telling you that she can go home.
17:59Now, do you have any transport?
18:01Oh, I've got a bike.
18:03A bike? She can't go home on a bike.
18:07Cheer up, Mrs Griffin, you'll be going home soon.
18:11Who brought this in here?
18:13Little enough room as it is without you.
18:15Quite frankly, I've been extremely distressed about your wife's mental state.
18:18Hospitals affect women in different ways.
18:20Some of them get quite depressed.
18:22Do you understand what I'm saying?
18:23Yes.
18:25I was only in there a few minutes and I got very depressed.
18:30Excuse me.
18:33Where did she get that from?
18:34I don't know.
18:35Well, shall I follow her?
18:36Good heavens, no.
18:38Try to remember that you're married.
18:40Are you aware of the seriousness of the situation?
18:42Yes, I am.
18:43Well?
18:45I suppose you've got plenty of bedspreads.
18:48Bedspreads?
18:49I don't suppose you worry if you lose a few now and again, do you?
18:52I don't know, I don't count the damn things.
18:54Now listen, when women get depressed, they start imagining things.
18:56They begin to feel that they're not wanted.
18:58Especially if, as in your case, the husband doesn't bother to come very often.
19:18I've tried to come more often.
19:21But I've had a bit of bother, see.
19:27I found it very difficult getting organised.
19:32And then the door fell off.
19:38Plus, I blew my pudding up.
19:42The fact is, your wife has convinced herself that she's not wanted.
19:46Not wanted?
19:47Yes, she thinks you don't want her to come home.
19:49But I do, I do want her.
19:51Yes, but you're going to have to show her a lot more consideration and be very patient with her.
19:53And she mustn't be worried.
19:55What?
19:58Is it all right for her to laugh when she gets home?
20:02Quite frankly, from the little you've told me of your domestic life,
20:04I don't think that problem will arise.
20:06But I didn't know anything about this.
20:08She never said anything.
20:10I don't know what to do.
20:12What should I do?
20:16Look, don't get into a state about it.
20:17Just get her clothes.
20:18Now, can you be back here by nine?
20:19Yes, yes.
20:20Well, I'll lay on a hospital car to take her home.
20:22You can do that, can't you?
20:23Yes, it is quite usual.
20:24If necessary, I can arrange transport for all the women.
20:26Right.
20:27Well, shall I tell her, then?
20:28Yes, and for God's sake, let her know that you want her.
20:30Yes, I will.
20:31I will.
20:32Right.
20:33Well, shall I tell her, then?
20:34Yes, and for God's sake, let her know that you want her.
20:45Oh, Frank, what's happening?
20:46I thought you'd gone home.
20:49Betty.
20:51Oh!
20:52What's the matter?
20:53You haven't got the pain, have you?
20:54You've just sat on my grapes.
20:59And what about the seat?
21:00It's all right.
21:01It's just a bit down.
21:02No.
21:03Your seat, my chair.
21:04Where is it?
21:05I've lost it.
21:08I'll have nothing left soon.
21:09You've taken out more than the surgeon did.
21:13Betty, I do want you.
21:18Want me to what?
21:22I just want you.
21:24Oh, Frank.
21:26I told you that I couldn't.
21:29You know?
21:32Love.
21:35And the other?
21:38I'm not talking about the other.
21:42What are you talking about?
21:44It's just that you don't want to start imagining things.
21:49You mean like imagining I had a bedspread and a chair?
21:53Forget about that.
21:54The doctor said I can take you home.
21:57Home? When?
21:58Tonight.
21:59Tonight?
22:00They haven't said anything.
22:02Well, I expect you forgot with your mind and things.
22:06It isn't my mind that's been treated.
22:08Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
22:10I mean, I'm not fit.
22:11I can hardly walk.
22:12You don't have to.
22:13He's laying on a special car.
22:14Oh, I don't want to be a trouble to anyone.
22:17It's no trouble.
22:18He says he could lay on cars for all the women if necessary.
22:22Frank.
22:23I've got to go now.
22:24The pips are gone.
22:25So, I'll come back about nine when I've got your clothes.
22:31I do want you.
22:39Mrs. White.
22:41I'm going home.
22:43Going home?
22:45You can't go home.
22:46I've been here longer than you.
22:48He's going home, not you.
22:50No, Frank says they're getting me a car.
22:52And he's coming back for me at nine.
22:54A car?
22:55They're not going to put a car on specially for you.
22:58Well, no, he didn't say that it was only for me.
23:00He said that we could all have cars if necessary.
23:03Who is going home then?
23:04I am if she is.
23:06I'm better than her.
23:07Oh, I'd like to go home too.
23:09I'm feeling much better now.
23:11You're making enough noise about it.
23:12My husband should be coming.
23:15Well, if he doesn't, you'll have to go without him.
23:17No point in staying here on your own, is there?
23:19On my own?
23:22There won't be anyone else here.
23:24We're all going.
23:25I'm sure I should have gone home weeks ago.
23:27Only nobody seems to take any notice of me.
23:30They bloody well can't see you, that's why.
23:34Well, he didn't actually say that all the cars would be coming tonight.
23:37He said that...
23:39Well, I'm not quite sure what he said, really,
23:41because it was all a bit of a surprise.
23:43But he did say that we could all have a car if necessary.
23:47Well, if mine doesn't turn up, I'll have to share yours.
23:50That's if you don't mind.
23:52Oh, no, no, of course not.
23:54I'll be delighted.
23:57You'd have thought they'd let us keep the light on.
24:02He said he'd be here by nine.
24:14Oh, Frank!
24:16Oh, Frank!
24:18Oh, Frank!
24:20Oh, Frank!
24:22Oh, Frank!
24:24Oh, Frank!
24:28I bought you clothes.
24:30Oh, never mind that now.
24:32I won't change now that we're going by car.
24:34You're ever so late.
24:35The cars are all ready, then.
24:37Cars?
24:38Did you see Dr Roberts?
24:40I wanted to speak to him, but he didn't come round tonight.
24:42We'll not find out anything standing here.
24:44Come on to reception.
24:46Yes.
24:47What is all this?
24:49I didn't buy all this.
24:51There's no Dr Roberts around.
24:53There's nobody around anywhere.
24:55It's very late.
24:56Yes.
24:57I dropped the suitcase off the bus and had to go back for it.
25:00Oh, Frank, don't go so fast.
25:02I can hardly walk.
25:03She's not fit to walk.
25:04I ought to have her come.
25:05No, no, I'll be all right once I get home.
25:07Shall I carry you?
25:08I'm not feeling quite myself, either.
25:10Well, I can't carry you as well.
25:12I've had a bit of trouble.
25:14You won't even be able to manage the cases.
25:17What's he going to do, then?
25:18I dragged that big suitcase all along the corridor.
25:20Oh, Frank, you'll have to find someone or something.
25:23Oh, ladies, ladies.
25:25Don't you think we ought to wait for the doctors?
25:27I mean, it all does seem a bit unusual.
25:29Doctors?
25:30What do they know?
25:31If they had their way, we'd be here until Christmas.
25:34That's true.
25:37Dr Boyd.
25:38Hello, Doctor.
25:40I know it's late and the wife's screaming blue murder,
25:42but I'm here now.
25:43Here with me little bag and all ready to go.
25:46Who's this?
25:47It's Mr Griffin.
25:48Mr Griffin.
25:49How do you do?
25:51The Mr Griffin.
25:53The Mr Griffin who married Mrs...
25:55Mrs Griffin.
25:56But she's still in the ward, isn't she?
25:58Of course she's still in the ward.
25:59Here you are.
26:00I hope somebody's looking after her all right.
26:03Oh, yes.
26:04Somebody's looking after her all right.
26:10Oh, my God, Frank.
26:12It's all I could find. There's no one anywhere.
26:14I think I'll go back to bed.
26:16Don't be daft.
26:17You can be home in ten minutes.
26:18Not on that. I can't.
26:20It's all I could get.
26:21There aren't any wheelchairs anywhere.
26:22Is there room for four?
26:24Four? I can't take four.
26:25This is just for the bad cases.
26:27Oh, dear. I don't feel at all well.
26:29Well, come here, then.
26:30Perhaps we should wait, Frank.
26:31Get a move on. You're haunting everybody back.
26:34Right, that's it.
26:35Is everybody on now?
26:36Yes.
26:37Like going on our holidays, isn't it?
26:39Come on, ladies.
26:40Right, now, when I've turned it round the other way,
26:42I'll need a shove-off,
26:43and I'll be all right once I'm on the slope.
26:45On the slope?
26:47Well, it's all right now, and nobody laughs.
26:50Oh, no!
26:55Well, Mrs Griffin, you'll be very pleased to...
26:58Well?
26:59Where is she, then?
27:02Mrs Griffin?
27:04Hilda?
27:05Mrs Griffin?
27:06Hilda!
27:10Well?
27:16Oh!
27:21That way!
27:22That way!
27:24No, it's that way!
27:28Oh, sweet!
27:45Oh!
28:15Oh, my God!
28:24We can't find the front door!
28:26We have got to!
28:27Can't I take her straight to the ward?
28:29You can't!
28:30I've done her weary teeth!
28:31No, you can't!
28:32No, you can't!
28:33No, you can't!
28:34No, you can't!
28:35No, you can't!
28:36No, you can't!
28:37You can't get on that trolley!
28:39Oh, Frank!
28:40Frank!
28:44Frank!
28:46Frank!
28:47Frank!
29:03Frank!
29:10Frank!
29:36Oh!
29:37Oh!
29:38Oh, Frank!
29:39Oh!
