:46:06
You get dependent on ´em coming, see.
:46:08
And it don´t do to get dependent
on nobody in this life.
:46:12
They bring fruit and flowers
and say how well you look,
:46:16
and after five minutes, they´re dying
for the bell so they can get away.
:46:20
I know, l´ve watched ´em.
:46:23
They´re no sooner out of the
door than they say to each other,
:46:26
´´Gawd, did you see old Ned?
Didn´t he look rough? ´´
:46:29
´´Keep them insurance policies dusted.
Don´t throw that black hat away. ´´
:46:35
l´ve heard ´em.
:46:47
- Mr Elkins.
- Hello, nurse.
:46:50
You should be in bed.
:46:52
I couldn´t sleep, so I come down
and made a cup of tea.
:46:55
You´re not supposed to.
:46:57
I have been doing things all my life
l´m not supposed to.
:47:01
You know what?
I had an ´orrible nightmare.
:47:04
- You must have had too much supper.
- No, serious.
:47:07
I dreamt
that the hydrogen bomb had fallen,
:47:10
and I didn´t get killed.
:47:12
But I got some of that dust
on my shoulder, see?
:47:16
I rushes in this house,
shuts the door,
:47:18
and who´s standing there?
Little Malcolm.
:47:21
Who?
:47:23
Oh, yeah.
It´s this kid I used to know.
:47:26
And then I realised that this...
this dust on me,
:47:31
this poison l´ve picked up...
:47:34
...will kill him.
And I was taking it to him.
:47:38
I was taking death to him.
:47:40
But what could I do? I had to save
my bleeding self, didn´t I?
:47:46
Made me feel rough, though.
:47:48
It would make some sense
to a psychiatrist.
:47:51
You know what? I wish just for once
:47:53
I could get myself to do
something good in my dreams.
:47:56
It wouldn´t cost me anything.
:47:58
l´d get a great deal
of satisfaction out of it.
