1:21:01
No, I'm afraid not.
1:21:03
I think I should let you have it straight
from the shoulder.
1:21:11
Your recovery, I mean,
Sister George's recovery...
1:21:15
isn't so much a reprieve as a postponement.
1:21:19
A postponement?
1:21:20
What on earth do you mean
by a postponement?
1:21:22
- Postponement of what?
- Shut up, Childie.
1:21:26
I'm sorry, Miss Buckridge,
it is the end of Sister George.
1:21:30
But why? I mean, why?
1:21:35
The end of Sister George?
1:21:38
Believe me, Miss Buckridge...
1:21:39
this decision is no reflection
on your ability as an actress.
1:21:42
You helped to create a character
that has become a nationwide favorite.
1:21:47
So why kill her?
1:21:49
Why do some of our nearest and dearest
have to leave us?
1:21:54
Because that's life.
1:21:56
And in Applehurst we try
to recreate the flavor of life as it's lived...
1:22:00
in hundreds of English villages.
1:22:02
But she's the most popular character
in Applehurst!
1:22:06
Not quite.
Anyway, there are other considerations.
1:22:10
I don't think this is quite the place
to discuss these matters at length.
1:22:15
How is it going to happen?
1:22:17
It's not for another week.
It's scheduled for the twelfth.
1:22:22
But how?
1:22:24
It's just an ordinary morning in Applehurst.
1:22:28
Sister George is off
to see young Jimmy Bromley.
1:22:31
He is feeling poorly, and his mother
has kept him home from school.
1:22:36
She sets off for Larkspur Farm
on her motor bike...
1:22:39
and then moments later...
1:22:42
collision with a 10-ton-truck.
1:22:47
That's ridiculous.
1:22:49
It's instantaneous.
1:22:51
- You mean, I never even...
- You never even regain consciousness.
1:22:55
That's terrible.
1:22:58
It so happens your death
will coincide with Road Safety Week.
