: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.
:39:01
They´re each one themselves.
Each one´s got his different nature.

:39:05
I may not be the best dad
in the world,

:39:07
but I am his real dad.
Credit where credit´s due.

:39:10
There´s something I must tell you.
:39:13
He´s come out of these loins.
What do you wanna tell me?

:39:17
Look at this.
:39:19
They can´t get away from it.
He´s my son.

:39:21
This is your X-ray, Mr Elkins.
:39:24
- Blimey! Is that me?
- Yes, it is.

:39:28
l´m just a load of old ribs!
:39:29
l´m afraid there are two shadows
on your lungs.

:39:32
Shadows on my lungs?
What are you talking about?

:39:35
Look at this patch. You´ve got
an infection here. And one here.

:39:39
An infection? I can´t have!
I ain´t been with nobody!

:39:42
- It´s not a question...
- You have to do something about it.

:39:45
We can deal with it.
:39:47
I want the best attention there is.
l´II even pay for it.

:39:50
It´s just a question of rest.
That´s all you need.

:39:53
I can´t rest. L´m off to Brighton
with licentious victuallers!

:39:57
We´re in for a blow-out. It´s booked!
:39:59
It has to be unbooked.
You need rest in the country.
