00:17We've just moved in.

00:18I'm Dee.

00:24You making any friends?

00:25One.

00:26It's weird now, being in the house on my own.

00:28If you ever need anything...

00:29Thanks.

00:30Are we taking in waves and strays now?

00:33She's just lonely.

01:18I like it better when it's just the two of us.

01:20I'm here now, Kathleen.

01:21Kathleen, do you promise?

01:27This is the good bit.
