Hell, that's my car for the airport.
434
00:32:05,648 --> 00:32:09,583
Oh, I wish I didn't have to go.
It's been such a lovely afternoon.
435
00:32:10,353 --> 00:32:14,686
Yeah,... and d'ya know when I
first saw you, I almost fled.
436
00:32:14,789 --> 00:32:15,883
Why?
437
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,154
Ah,... I thought you'd come lording it over me.
438
00:32:20,363 --> 00:32:22,721
Me, lording it over you?
439
00:32:23,966 --> 00:32:26,834
Don't you realise, I wanted to be like you?
440
00:32:27,303 --> 00:32:29,461
And I wanted to be like you!
441
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,566
If only we'd known.
We could have been great mates...
442
00:32:34,576 --> 00:32:36,505
You know, real close.
443
00:32:37,712 --> 00:32:39,946
- It's been fun, hasn't it?
- Yeah.
444
00:32:41,550 --> 00:32:44,747
Anyway, you're off to Paris now. That's lovely.
445
00:32:45,019 --> 00:32:48,052
Yes, but I'd rather be here, talking to you.
446
00:32:49,356 --> 00:32:50,856
Well then.
447
00:32:58,834 --> 00:33:01,401
- Can we give you a lift?
- No, I'm fine, thanks.
448
00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:03,900
I've still got a bit more shopping to do.
449
00:33:04,671 --> 00:33:06,105
Well then.
450
00:33:12,114 --> 00:33:15,182
<i>And there was real affection in that kiss.</i>
451
00:33:15,347 --> 00:33:18,011
<i>It was the sweetest kiss I'd known in years.</i>
452
00:33:22,556 --> 00:33:26,658
Goodbye, Shirley.
Goodbye, Shirley Valentine.
453
00:33:32,231 --> 00:33:34,359
<i>"Goodbye, Shirley Valentine".</i>
454
00:33:36,671 --> 00:33:38,432
<i>What happened to her?</i>
455
00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:42,239
<i>What happened to Shirley Valentine?</i>
456
00:33:42,944 --> 00:33:46,435
<i>She got married... to a boy called Joe,...</i>
457
00:33:46,613 --> 00:33:48,871
<i>and even though her name
was changed to Bradshaw,</i>
458
00:33:48,981 --> 00:33:52,212
<i>she was still Shirley Valentine for a while.</i>
459
00:33:52,786 --> 00:33:54,810
<i>She knew who she was,...</i>
460
00:33:56,222 --> 00:33:57,791
<i>but somewhere along the way,</i>
461
00:33:57,890 --> 00:34:00,381
<i>the boy called Joe turned into "Him",....</i>
462
00:34:01,126 --> 00:34:03,924
and Shirley Valentine turned into this.
463
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,464
<i>And what I can't remember
is the day, or the week,</i>
464
00:34:11,470 --> 00:34:15,027
<i>or the month, or... when it happened.</i>
465
00:34:15,608 --> 00:34:17,699
<i>When it stopped being good.</i>
466
00:34:18,612 --> 00:34:21,475
<i>When Shirley Valentine disappeared,
and became just another name</i>
467
00:34:21,577 --> 00:34:23,807
<i>on the 'missing persons' list.</i>
468
00:34:26,518 --> 00:34:30,009
He says he still loves me, you know?
But, he doesn't...
469
00:34:30,754 --> 00:34:33,015
It's just something he says.
470
00:34:34,125 --> 00:34:37,319
It's funny, isn't it? "I love you".
It's like it makes everything alright.
471
00:34:37,427 --> 00:34:40,795
Like,... like you can be beaten,
and battered, and half insane,
472
00:34:40,799 --> 00:34:44,299
and if you complain, he'll say,
"What's wrong? You know I love you".
473
00:34:45,302 --> 00:34:48,894
<i>"I love you". They should bottle it, and sell it...</i>
474
00:34:48,906 --> 00:34:50,902
<i>It cures everything.</i>
475
00:34:55,212 --> 00:34:57,476
And I know what you're thinking.
476
00:34:58,247 --> 00:34:59,876
Why don't I leave?
477
00:35:00,750 --> 00:35:03,584
Well, I'm terrified, if you want to know.
478
00:35:03,819 --> 00:35:07,620
I'm terrified that if I left,
there'd be nowhere for me to go.
479
00:35:07,623 --> 00:35:10,784
No place for me in the life beyond the wall.
480
00:35:12,796 --> 00:35:16,353
When I was a girl, I used to jump off our roof.
481
00:35:16,464 --> 00:35:18,260
- Is it ready then?
482
00:35:22,038 --> 00:35:25,465
I get me tea at 6 o'clock, and it's
nearly 10 past. What's going on?
483
00:35:25,573 --> 00:35:27,171
It's ready, sit down.
484
00:36:00,209 --> 00:36:03,541
- What's this then?
- What?
485
00:36:04,613 --> 00:36:07,876
What... is... this?
486
00:36:10,317 --> 00:36:12,250
Well, it looks very like chips n' egg to me,
487
00:36:12,252 --> 00:36:14,089
but maybe it's a trick question.
488
00:36:14,289 --> 00:36:18,014
- It's Thursday.
We have steak on Thursday.
489
00:36:18,224 --> 00:36:21,818
We always have steak on Thursday.
490
00:36:22,664 --> 00:36:24,354
Well, alright it's Thursday,
491
00:36:24,465 --> 00:36:26,825
but we're having chips n' egg for a change.
492
00:36:26,999 --> 00:36:30,169
- You like chips n' egg.
- On a Tuesday...
493
00:36:30,204 --> 00:36:33,466
I like chips n' egg on a Tuesday.
494
00:36:34,442 --> 00:36:36,766
Today is Thursday.
495
00:36:37,545 --> 00:36:40,873
- Well, pretend it's Tuesday.
- Where's me steak?!
496
00:36:42,449 --> 00:36:45,949
- I give it to the dog!
- Wha
