:37:01
Fair by me? She never wanted
no other geezer when she was with me.
:37:04
What playing fair was that?
Bleeding sauce!
:37:07
- Bring anything up when you cough?
- No. I just clear my chest.
:37:11
That´s the point of coughing.
Bring something up, clear the tubes.
:37:15
Now, the pair of ´em have taken
my little son from me.
:37:19
There are times when I can still
hear him calling ´´Daddy! ´´ after me.
:37:23
Do you find
you get quickly irritable of late?
:37:27
Funny you should ask. I do find
I do my nut very easily these days.
:37:31
- Do you sleep well?
- Like a top.
:37:33
The moment my head hits the pillow,
l´m off. I never wake up till...
:37:37
Till when, Mr Elkins?
:37:38
I never used to wake up
till it was time to get up.
:37:41
That´s Elkins with an S.
You know what I mean?
:37:45
- I think so. And now?
- I wake up dead on the same time.
:37:49
Four o´clock in the morning.
:37:51
That is, no matter
how much l´ve had to drink or...
:37:54
- Can I be perfectly frank with you?
- Certainly.
:38:06
No matter who´s beside me.
You know what I mean?
:38:09
Yes, I understand.
:38:10
Thank you. I never have been partial
to these all-night sessions.
:38:14
For one thing,
l´ve rarely found a woman...
:38:18
You don´t mind
if I come out with it straight?
:38:20
You can tell me everything.
:38:23
Very few birds can get into my rhythm
of sleeping.
:38:27
I see.
:38:29
I find myself lying there in the dark
staring at the ceiling.
:38:32
I keep thinking
about this kid I used to know.
:38:35
I was friendly with his mother.
:38:37
Nothing special,
just an ordinary girl.
:38:39
But I knew him well, the child.
:38:41
There´s something I must tell you.
:38:44
All I wanted was for her
to come back with little Malcolm,
:38:47
so we could spend
our Sundays together.
:38:50
But she never come.
Do you understand me?
:38:53
- Yes, perfectly.
- Now.
:38:55
If you lose a bird,
you can always replace her.
:38:58
But with a child, it´s different.
