1
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:03,868
(truck rumbles loudly,
horn blasts)
2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,239
Adult mark: They say breakfast
3
00:00:07,374 --> 00:00:09,508
Is the most important meal
of the day,
4
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:12,444
But seeing how the median age
in our house was 68,
5
00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:14,913
Our breakfast of champions
was pills.
6
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:19,951
Pop: Oh.
(pills rattle)
7
00:00:19,987 --> 00:00:22,187
Blues before yellows.
8
00:00:22,189 --> 00:00:25,858
Yellows and reds before pinks,
and then whites.
9
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:28,393
- No. Yellow and red,
then blue.
10
00:00:28,429 --> 00:00:30,262
Pink one after you eat.
11
00:00:30,264 --> 00:00:33,131
White ones are for mark.
- (heavy exhale) jesus.
12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,467
Adult mark: Pop didn't have
much faith in pills.
13
00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:37,936
He preferred the home remedies
he grew up with.
14
00:00:38,005 --> 00:00:39,471
- (burps and sighs)
15
00:00:39,507 --> 00:00:41,406
- (gasping)
16
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:43,475
- Asthma's not real.
17
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:46,912
What you need is a bread
poultice. Here.
18
00:00:46,914 --> 00:00:48,746
Adult mark: Ah, the bread
poultice.
19
00:00:48,783 --> 00:00:50,215
Pop's answer to every ailment
20
00:00:50,251 --> 00:00:52,350
From hangnail to gunshot wound.
21
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:54,553
Once hardened,
it would supposedly
22
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:56,187
Draw out the sickness.
23
00:00:56,223 --> 00:00:57,956
- (licks) ooh!
24
00:00:57,958 --> 00:01:00,024
Ooh, that would be lovely
with a nice cup of tea.
25
00:01:00,061 --> 00:01:01,293
Hmm.
26
00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:03,228
Adult mark: Mostly it just
ruined your shirt.
27
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:05,464
(grossed out) eh.
28
00:01:05,466 --> 00:01:07,633
- They don't work by starin'
at 'em.
29
00:01:07,635 --> 00:01:09,568
- Well, how do we know
they work at all?
30
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:11,570
- 'cause I'm still looking
at your hoary mug.
31
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:13,305
- Hmm.
- Uh, mary?
- Hmm?
32
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,841
- Can I talk to you about
the door for a minute?
33
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:17,576
(footsteps recede)
34
00:01:19,112 --> 00:01:20,812
Are you sure you don't want me
to come with ya
35
00:01:20,881 --> 00:01:22,247
To the hospital--
- oh, shh-shh-shh!
36
00:01:22,283 --> 00:01:24,182
(hushed) I'll be fine.
37
00:01:24,251 --> 00:01:26,318
Very routine operation,
they said.
38
00:01:26,387 --> 00:01:28,220
Besides, the boys
need you here.
39
00:01:28,355 --> 00:01:30,922
- Look, I'm not very good
at this kinda thing, but...
40
00:01:30,958 --> 00:01:33,258
Come back to me in one piece.
41
00:01:34,395 --> 00:01:36,261
Well, you know, minus the piece
42
00:01:36,263 --> 00:01:38,497
They're gonna cut out o' ya
or whatever.
43
00:01:38,499 --> 00:01:40,064
- I will do that.
44
00:01:40,101 --> 00:01:41,967
Adult mark: The old man was
as smooth as sandpaper...
45
00:01:41,969 --> 00:01:43,669
- (small laugh)
46
00:01:43,671 --> 00:01:45,871
And half as comforting.
47
00:01:46,006 --> 00:01:47,272
Mary: Eat your breakfast now
48
00:01:47,341 --> 00:01:49,407
So you can take your pills
that go with food.
49
00:01:49,477 --> 00:01:51,309
- What's going on?
50
00:01:51,311 --> 00:01:53,411
- Oh, it's nothin'
to worry about, mark.
51
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:55,380
I just have to go into
the hospital is all.
52
00:01:55,516 --> 00:01:58,417
- Oh! Can I go with you!
I love a good hospital visit.
53
00:01:58,419 --> 00:02:01,019
Who're we gonna see?
Mm. Doesn't matter,
54
00:02:01,021 --> 00:02:02,721
I'll wear a suit either way.
55
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:05,524
- No, mark, your mother's
going in for a small surgery.
56
00:02:05,659 --> 00:02:07,359
(cupboard bangs shut)
so, hey, you're lucky,
57
00:02:07,428 --> 00:02:09,895
You get to stay with me.
Mary: (clears throat)
58
00:02:09,964 --> 00:02:11,930
- Mary, somebody's got
to tell the boy.
59
00:02:13,701 --> 00:02:15,833
- Remember, the tall cans
are for you crowd,
60
00:02:15,870 --> 00:02:18,370
The short ones are for the cat,
hmm?
61
00:02:18,372 --> 00:02:21,506
- Are you dying?
- Oh no, mark. No.
62
00:02:21,509 --> 00:02:23,642
Don't be foolish, hmm?
63
00:02:23,644 --> 00:02:25,444
Pop: Well, I'm dying,
your father's dying,
64
00:02:25,446 --> 00:02:27,579
The cat's dying, the whole
bloody house is dying,
65
00:02:27,615 --> 00:02:29,847
But your mother will
outlive us all.
66
00:02:29,884 --> 00:02:32,384
(horn honks outside)
taxi's here!
67
00:02:32,386 --> 00:02:34,319
- Wha-- uh, you're going
right now?!
68
00:02:34,321 --> 00:02:36,054
You're not even dressed!
69
00:02:36,056 --> 00:02:38,022
- Ah, what do I need to be
dressed for, hmm?
70
00:02:38,058 --> 00:02:40,158
Only gonna to be puttin' on
a robe as soon as I get there.
71
00:02:41,862 --> 00:02:44,596
Oh, mark, you're a big boy now.
72
00:02:45,633 --> 00:02:47,599
Look, you're in charge, okay?
73
00:02:47,734 --> 00:02:49,601
Now you just keep an eye
on everything here
74
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,403
While I'm gone,
75
00:02:51,472 --> 00:02:54,072
And I'll come back fit
as a fiddle.
76
00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:55,807
Give us a hug, huh?
77
00:02:55,943 --> 00:02:57,308
Yeah.
78
00:02:59,213 --> 00:03:00,645
You be a good boy.
79
00:03:01,815 --> 00:03:03,548
Adult mark: I was the man
of the house now,
80
00:03:03,551 --> 00:03:05,617
But our house didn't need
another man;
81
00:03:05,653 --> 00:03:07,352
It needed a mom.
82
00:03:07,421 --> 00:03:09,388
- Hey, we've got tinned
spaghetti
83
00:03:09,523 --> 00:03:11,990
Or purr-fect feast.
84
00:03:12,059 --> 00:03:13,358
You know, with a name
like that,
85
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,095
I am leaning purr-fect feast.
86
00:03:17,097 --> 00:03:20,531
♪♪♪
87
00:03:20,568 --> 00:03:24,102
♪♪♪
88
00:03:24,104 --> 00:03:25,270
- No.
89
00:03:25,405 --> 00:03:27,005
(indistinct chatter)
90
00:03:27,041 --> 00:03:28,473
Fox: Wanna know your fortune?
91
00:03:30,110 --> 00:03:32,844
- What's the point? We're all
just gonna die anyway.
92
00:03:32,846 --> 00:03:35,447
- So... That's a no.
93
00:03:35,516 --> 00:03:37,949
What's your problem?
94
00:03:38,018 --> 00:03:40,586
- My mom's having surgery,
but I don't know what kind.
95
00:03:40,721 --> 00:03:43,054
- You're so weird. How can you
not know something like that?
96
00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:46,391
- They don't want me to worry,
which makes me worried.
97
00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:49,127
Adult mark: I was used
to hospitals and even wakes,
98
00:03:49,129 --> 00:03:51,930
But the thought of losing
my mother terrified me.
99
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:53,898
Not that my friends noticed.
100
00:03:53,968 --> 00:03:56,034
- Pick a colour.
101
00:03:56,103 --> 00:03:58,169
- Uh... Red.
- R-e-d.
102
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:00,371
Pick a number.
103
00:04:01,408 --> 00:04:04,409
- Four.
- One, two, three, four.
104
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:07,145
Now, read your fortune,
dumbass.
105
00:04:07,147 --> 00:04:10,048
(paper rustles and crinkles)
106
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:13,018
- "you're dead." ha!
What does that mean?
107
00:04:14,088 --> 00:04:15,620
- If I catch you,
108
00:04:15,623 --> 00:04:17,522
Then you're gonna be the one
in the hospital.
109
00:04:17,558 --> 00:04:19,424
Well?
110
00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:21,225
- (nervous grunt) mark!
111
00:04:21,262 --> 00:04:22,894
Adult mark: I needed friends
my own age.
112
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:24,830
- (pensive exhale)
- I needed pop.
113
00:04:24,832 --> 00:04:26,431
(pop hums along to a sea shanty
on the radio)
114
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:29,100
(sizzling)
115
00:04:29,169 --> 00:04:31,536
(door bangs shut)
116
00:04:32,906 --> 00:04:35,040
- Ugh! What stinks?
- Mm-hmm!
117
00:04:35,175 --> 00:04:36,974
Supper. Ready.
118
00:04:37,011 --> 00:04:38,643
(chuckles to himself)
119
00:04:40,647 --> 00:04:42,614
Mark: Is that spaghetti
in the cat bowl?
120
00:04:42,683 --> 00:04:45,083
- Mm-hmm.
- Then what's in there?
121
00:04:45,218 --> 00:04:46,918
- Canmash.
122
00:04:46,987 --> 00:04:49,688
- What's that?
- Well, go into the cupboard,
123
00:04:49,757 --> 00:04:51,523
Get all the cans I can,
124
00:04:51,592 --> 00:04:54,593
And mash 'em all together.
Delicious!
125
00:04:54,728 --> 00:04:57,863
Ah, mike, here. Try that.
126
00:04:57,998 --> 00:04:59,997
- Ah, looks good, pop.
- Yeah, yeah, good.
127
00:05:00,034 --> 00:05:02,200
Mm-hmm.
- (eating sounds)
128
00:05:02,336 --> 00:05:04,202
- (horrified gasp)
129
00:05:04,204 --> 00:05:07,205
- How is it?
Come on, one to ten.
130
00:05:07,207 --> 00:05:09,273
(eating noisily)
- ten.
131
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:11,076
Adult mark: The choices were
clear:
132
00:05:11,211 --> 00:05:13,177
Starvation or food poisoning.
133
00:05:14,214 --> 00:05:15,947
(distant siren wail approaches)
134
00:05:17,851 --> 00:05:20,151
- Mm-hmm.
All good, girl.
135
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:21,820
- (relieved sigh)
136
00:05:21,889 --> 00:05:24,823
My goodness, connie,
you have got a gentle touch.
137
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:26,625
- (chuckles)
- it's more like a spa
138
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,894
Than a hospital 'round here.
139
00:05:28,896 --> 00:05:30,629
Sin to say, but...
140
00:05:30,764 --> 00:05:33,030
Sometimes it's nice to be away
from the family.
141
00:05:33,167 --> 00:05:35,233
- Girl, I knows all too much
about it.
142
00:05:35,369 --> 00:05:37,502
I got two boys,
and that's enough.
143
00:05:37,637 --> 00:05:39,671
- Oh, I got the same.
- Oh, really?
144
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:41,573
- Mm. Truth be told though,
145
00:05:41,642 --> 00:05:43,709
The boys are not the hard part,
it's the--
146
00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:45,777
- The men? Hmm.
- Yes.
147
00:05:45,813 --> 00:05:47,445
- I got one of them too.
- Mm...
148
00:05:47,514 --> 00:05:49,381
Both: (chuckle)
149
00:05:49,383 --> 00:05:52,049
- Well, I suppose it'll all
be okay.
150
00:05:52,086 --> 00:05:54,352
The worst part is they're
just...
151
00:05:54,388 --> 00:05:56,121
Well, there isn't anyone
I can really talk to
152
00:05:56,256 --> 00:05:57,688
About it at home, so...
153
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,827
- It'll be okay, believe me.
154
00:06:04,198 --> 00:06:06,531
I knows all too much about it.
155
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:08,866
- Yeah. Hmm.
156
00:06:08,902 --> 00:06:11,202
- Now you get to put your feet
up for once!
157
00:06:11,271 --> 00:06:13,872
(cart rattles)
- oh my... (gasps)
158
00:06:13,874 --> 00:06:16,340
Maclean's, chatelaine, owl -
159
00:06:16,377 --> 00:06:18,476
Mark loves that one.
- Mm-hmm.
160
00:06:18,478 --> 00:06:20,478
- I think I'll go
with chatelaine.
161
00:06:20,547 --> 00:06:23,682
- Proper damn thing!
- Thank you.
162
00:06:23,684 --> 00:06:26,017
- Want a cup o' tea?
- Oh yes, dear.
163
00:06:26,153 --> 00:06:28,085
Where's the kettle?
- Oh, no.
164
00:06:28,122 --> 00:06:30,889
No, you lie down.
Read your magazine.
165
00:06:30,891 --> 00:06:32,424
- What?
- I'll get it for ya.
166
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:34,225
- Oh!
167
00:06:34,261 --> 00:06:35,894
Connie, I'm movin' in
for good.
168
00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:37,496
- You're welcome to it.
- (chuckles)
169
00:06:37,631 --> 00:06:39,564
Announcement: Dr. Patterson
to the er, please.
170
00:06:39,566 --> 00:06:41,299
That's dr. Patterson--
171
00:06:41,435 --> 00:06:42,968
(rotary phone dial rattles)
172
00:06:43,103 --> 00:06:45,103
- Pop, ya gotta take
your pills!
173
00:06:47,441 --> 00:06:49,174
(pill bottles rattle)
174
00:06:49,243 --> 00:06:51,742
- Hmph. Bloody drug pusher.
175
00:06:52,913 --> 00:06:54,913
- Uh, mary critch's room,
please?
176
00:06:54,915 --> 00:06:57,182
Pop: This is what I'm after.
177
00:06:57,317 --> 00:07:00,885
Mustard and bread.
Can't beat it.
178
00:07:02,055 --> 00:07:03,655
Mike sr.: Hello, mary?
Mary: (muffled) mark?
179
00:07:03,724 --> 00:07:05,390
- What?
- Mark?
180
00:07:05,392 --> 00:07:07,258
- Let me have that again.
The line's very bad.
181
00:07:07,294 --> 00:07:08,893
- (muffled) what the frig?
182
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:11,596
- You go under the knife
at 9:00 a.M., you say?
183
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:14,065
- My god!
- Good god!
184
00:07:14,101 --> 00:07:16,400
This line is terrible!
185
00:07:16,437 --> 00:07:17,936
I'm gonna have to call
the phone company.
186
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:19,738
I mean, what the hell
am I paying for?
187
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:22,007
- (indistinct comment)
- what does dr. Fisher say?
188
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:24,275
Adult mark: Kids overhear more
than their parents think,
189
00:07:24,311 --> 00:07:26,744
Especially when everything
they say is shouted.
190
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:29,681
I listened to every word
for a glimmer of truth.
191
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:32,149
- A full hysterectomy?
- I was a good bit surprised.
192
00:07:32,186 --> 00:07:33,952
(indistinct comment)
- now don't worry about us.
193
00:07:33,954 --> 00:07:36,354
We have things well in hand.
You just rest.
194
00:07:36,423 --> 00:07:38,289
(line goes quiet,
plungers click)
195
00:07:38,358 --> 00:07:40,826
Hello?! Mary? Mary? Hello?!
196
00:07:42,896 --> 00:07:44,529
She's dead.
- (gasps)
197
00:07:47,434 --> 00:07:49,634
- Uh, the line.
The line's dead.
198
00:07:49,703 --> 00:07:51,903
Terrible line.
(handset clunks loudly)
199
00:07:51,939 --> 00:07:54,906
That was your mother.
She's having a wonderful time.
200
00:07:54,942 --> 00:07:57,275
(cat meows)
201
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:59,444
Cat hasn't even touched
her noodles.
202
00:07:59,513 --> 00:08:01,379
Puss! Puthy, puthy, puthy!
203
00:08:01,381 --> 00:08:03,982
Adult mark: Misty was our cat.
She only appeared for feedings.
204
00:08:03,984 --> 00:08:06,450
Like everything in our house,
she was old.
205
00:08:07,855 --> 00:08:10,388
Dad loved the cat almost
as much as it hated him.
206
00:08:10,524 --> 00:08:12,357
(misty hisses)
- agh! She's a bloody lynx!
207
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:14,226
Misty: (angry meow)
208
00:08:14,361 --> 00:08:15,826
Mike sr.: Goddamn cat.
209
00:08:17,664 --> 00:08:20,598
- Pop?
- Yes, sir.
210
00:08:21,802 --> 00:08:24,402
- Am I gonna have to have
a hysternmectomy one day?
211
00:08:24,537 --> 00:08:26,270
- Mm. Maybe.
212
00:08:27,808 --> 00:08:30,275
Maybe not.
213
00:08:30,344 --> 00:08:32,077
Probably not.
214
00:08:32,212 --> 00:08:33,978
- How do you know?
215
00:08:35,415 --> 00:08:40,285
- You know, sometimes a flower
loses its petals... Mm.
216
00:08:41,488 --> 00:08:43,021
Mm...
217
00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:44,823
No pollen then.
218
00:08:44,958 --> 00:08:47,359
Bees come buzzin' around
219
00:08:47,361 --> 00:08:49,427
Lookin' for this, that
and the other,
220
00:08:49,496 --> 00:08:52,430
But you're not gonna get stung
by a bee,
221
00:08:52,432 --> 00:08:54,432
'cause if they sting you,
222
00:08:54,434 --> 00:08:57,268
Then they have to rip
their own arse out.
223
00:08:57,337 --> 00:08:59,303
And if they rip
their own arse out,
224
00:08:59,339 --> 00:09:01,172
Well, then...
225
00:09:01,174 --> 00:09:02,640
They just die.
226
00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:05,977
That's what's wrong
with your mother.
227
00:09:07,113 --> 00:09:08,980
More or less. Mm...
228
00:09:09,016 --> 00:09:11,315
Adult mark: I didn't know why
pop needed all those pills,
229
00:09:11,351 --> 00:09:13,250
But it was becoming clear
that he needed them
230
00:09:13,287 --> 00:09:15,320
More than the bread poultice.
231
00:09:15,455 --> 00:09:18,155
- Ah, they wouldn't let me in
with flat feet.
232
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:21,459
Oh...
233
00:09:21,528 --> 00:09:24,028
Those bouncing bombs...
234
00:09:25,299 --> 00:09:27,132
Amazing.
235
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:30,135
Skip, skip, skip.
236
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:33,871
Hit the dam,
237
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:35,673
Sank,
238
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:37,809
Boom.
239
00:09:37,944 --> 00:09:39,877
(chuckles)
240
00:09:39,913 --> 00:09:41,946
Ah, the bastards.
241
00:09:41,949 --> 00:09:43,948
(grunts)
242
00:09:43,984 --> 00:09:45,583
- Pop?
243
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:47,685
Did you take your pills?
244
00:09:47,754 --> 00:09:50,688
- Okay.
245
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:53,491
Mm...
- Night, pop.
246
00:09:54,895 --> 00:09:56,361
- Mm...
247
00:09:56,496 --> 00:09:57,928
Good cat.
248
00:10:00,033 --> 00:10:02,567
(dog barks in the distance,
birds chirp)
249
00:10:02,569 --> 00:10:04,502
(kettle whistles)
radio: And now mike critch
250
00:10:04,504 --> 00:10:06,771
With the vcom news!
- Mike! You up?
251
00:10:06,773 --> 00:10:09,841
Radio: Were called the scene...
- Your bus'll be here soon.
252
00:10:10,911 --> 00:10:12,743
Radio: Two youths...
- Mike?!
253
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:14,612
- I'm gone.
(front door shuts)
254
00:10:14,615 --> 00:10:16,915
- Oh, you give and you give,
but they just don't care.
255
00:10:16,917 --> 00:10:19,050
Radio: They were disappointed
with the fried chicken...
256
00:10:19,086 --> 00:10:20,919
(pill bottles rattle)
- pop?!
257
00:10:22,356 --> 00:10:24,322
Pop?!
258
00:10:24,324 --> 00:10:26,390
Can no one answer me
this morning?!
259
00:10:26,426 --> 00:10:28,392
Radio: The officers were able
to follow...
260
00:10:28,428 --> 00:10:29,760
- Am I talking to thin air?!
261
00:10:31,198 --> 00:10:32,963
(pop grunts softly)
pop?
262
00:10:35,001 --> 00:10:37,535
Pop!
263
00:10:37,537 --> 00:10:39,237
Pop!
(pop grunts softly)
264
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:42,940
Pop!
- (grunts softly)
265
00:10:42,942 --> 00:10:44,809
- (grunts of effort)
- (grunts softly)
266
00:10:44,845 --> 00:10:46,811
(running footsteps)
267
00:10:46,847 --> 00:10:49,214
(phone clatters,
dial tone drones)
268
00:10:49,349 --> 00:10:50,748
(panting)
269
00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:53,350
(dial rattles)
270
00:10:53,387 --> 00:10:55,252
(line rings,
pop grunts softly)
271
00:10:55,288 --> 00:10:57,588
(phone rings)
272
00:10:57,658 --> 00:11:00,692
- Drive safely. Arrive alive.
Vocm news. Critch speaking.
273
00:11:00,694 --> 00:11:02,627
- It's pop! Come quick!
It's pop.
274
00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:04,596
- Pop? My god, you sound
more like mark.
275
00:11:04,731 --> 00:11:06,131
This is an awfully clear line.
276
00:11:06,133 --> 00:11:07,832
Gonna have to call the phone
company, let 'em know.
277
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:09,968
- I am mark! Pop's dead!
Come home!
278
00:11:11,705 --> 00:11:13,104
(handset slams down,
door bangs shut)
279
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:14,906
Pop: Mm-hmm.
(footsteps thud rapidly)
280
00:11:14,908 --> 00:11:17,041
- Oh god...
281
00:11:18,478 --> 00:11:20,244
- You think he's dead?
282
00:11:20,313 --> 00:11:22,580
- No, but... He's gone
all yellow.
283
00:11:22,582 --> 00:11:24,115
- That's just the poultice.
284
00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:25,984
I think he stopped taking
his pills.
285
00:11:25,986 --> 00:11:28,686
I'm too young to be in charge!
First mom's gonna die, now pop.
286
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:31,856
You shouldn't have left!
287
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:33,824
And you shouldn't have
let her go!
288
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:35,793
- Mark! Enough.
(breathing rapidly)
289
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:37,662
Call 9-1-1.
290
00:11:37,731 --> 00:11:39,263
- You think we need
an ambulance?
291
00:11:39,265 --> 00:11:40,999
- We need two.
292
00:11:41,001 --> 00:11:43,334
I'm having a heart attack.
293
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:45,269
(running footsteps)
294
00:11:45,338 --> 00:11:47,072
- Don't worry,
I'm getting help!
295
00:11:50,677 --> 00:11:52,010
(wheelchair creaks)
296
00:11:52,145 --> 00:11:54,179
- Thank you, connie,
you're such a luv.
297
00:11:54,181 --> 00:11:56,614
(toilet flushes)
- oh, hello, mary.
298
00:11:56,683 --> 00:11:58,750
- Jesus! (gasps) you nearly
gave me a heart attack!
299
00:11:58,752 --> 00:12:00,451
(curtain rattles back)
300
00:12:00,454 --> 00:12:03,154
- Uh, well, mike already
beat you to it.
301
00:12:03,156 --> 00:12:05,556
- Oh my god, are you okay?
302
00:12:05,625 --> 00:12:07,158
- Yes, I'm fine.
303
00:12:07,194 --> 00:12:09,060
I just had a touch
of a heart attack.
304
00:12:09,129 --> 00:12:11,329
I got a bit startled
when I found pop dead.
305
00:12:11,398 --> 00:12:13,497
- Uh, dea--
- I'm not dead!
306
00:12:13,533 --> 00:12:15,967
The doctor said I've got
at least ten years left
307
00:12:15,969 --> 00:12:17,969
If I stop smoking.
308
00:12:17,971 --> 00:12:19,838
He put me down for five.
309
00:12:19,973 --> 00:12:21,940
- When's your surgery?
- Oh.
310
00:12:21,942 --> 00:12:24,909
- She already had it,
and she's doing well, but...
311
00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:26,911
You know, this isn't
a legion bingo hall.
312
00:12:26,947 --> 00:12:28,846
Can everybody please just
go back to their rooms?
313
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:30,848
- It's fine, connie,
I don't mind.
314
00:12:30,917 --> 00:12:32,383
Could you just give us
a moment?
315
00:12:32,419 --> 00:12:34,052
- Okay.
316
00:12:34,187 --> 00:12:37,188
(indistinct chatter,
wheelchair creaks by)
317
00:12:37,224 --> 00:12:40,724
- I leave you arseholes alone
for 36 hours
318
00:12:40,761 --> 00:12:43,127
And you wind up
in the hospital?!
319
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:44,896
Who is minding the boys?
320
00:12:44,965 --> 00:12:47,432
- You're the one put mark
in charge.
321
00:12:47,434 --> 00:12:49,934
- Only good choice I made
this weekend, apparently!
322
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:53,004
Jesus this hurts!
(pained grunt)
323
00:12:53,139 --> 00:12:55,673
(blows out her breath)
- this is delicious.
324
00:12:55,675 --> 00:12:58,209
We should get this at home.
325
00:12:58,344 --> 00:13:00,344
(rock music plays,
mike jr. And friends laugh)
326
00:13:00,413 --> 00:13:02,546
Mark: Everyone we hold dear
is in hospital
327
00:13:02,548 --> 00:13:04,282
And you throw a party!
328
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:05,950
Unbelievable.
329
00:13:05,986 --> 00:13:07,952
- There's two people.
330
00:13:07,954 --> 00:13:09,987
We-we're playing cards,
get lost!
331
00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:13,057
- Hmph! Can't get lost
in my own home now, can I?
332
00:13:13,059 --> 00:13:15,026
That's what this house is,
by the way,
333
00:13:15,095 --> 00:13:16,961
A home.
334
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:18,530
(sighs)
335
00:13:18,665 --> 00:13:20,564
Which we'll treat with respect,
I imagine.
336
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,233
(rock music plays)
337
00:13:22,368 --> 00:13:24,635
(sighs heavily,
wrappers crinkle)
338
00:13:26,173 --> 00:13:28,439
Mike jr.: Hey! Put that down!
It's a strobe light.
339
00:13:28,441 --> 00:13:31,242
We're gonna listen to some
floyd when it gets dark
340
00:13:31,278 --> 00:13:33,244
And use it
to trip-ip-ip-ip-ip-ip.
341
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,613
Friends: (laugh)
342
00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:37,916
Adult mark: My brother was
practically turning our home
343
00:13:38,051 --> 00:13:39,984
Into an opium den.
344
00:13:41,054 --> 00:13:43,221
- Mark. Go.
345
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:48,192
- Hmph!
346
00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:49,827
(rock music plays loudly)
347
00:13:51,464 --> 00:13:53,064
- (sighs) I've completely
