:27:01
I got the letter. Thanks.
:27:06
Oh, my God. I'd forgotten.
:27:11
You forgot?
:27:12
You forgot a suicide letter?
:27:14
I didn't think I'd have to remember it, did I?
:27:21
Did you read the part
where I said I'd always love you?

:27:24
It's a bit hard for you
to love me when you're dead, isn't it?

:27:27
I'm sorry.
:27:35
I can understand why you're angry, Marcus.
:27:44
I don't feel the same as I did yesterday,
if that's any help.

:27:48
What?
:27:49
It's all just gone away? All that?
:27:51
No, but...
:27:54
...at the moment, I feel better.
:27:57
"At the moment" is no good to me.
:27:59
I can see you feel better at the moment.
You just put the kettle on.

:28:03
But what happens when you finish your tea?
What happens when I go back to school?

:28:07
-I can't be here to watch you all the time.
-I know.

:28:11
We have to look after each other. The two of us.
:28:16
Suddenly I realized
two people isn't enough.

:28:20
You need a backup.
:28:21
If you're only two people,
and someone drops off the edge...

:28:24
...then you're on your own.
:28:26
Two isn't a large enough number.
:28:28
You need three, at least.
:28:30
-Three what?
-Nothing.

:28:33
But I'd had a great idea.
:28:36
The important thing in island living
is to be your own activities director.

:28:39
I find the key is to think of a day
as units of time...

:28:42
...each unit consisting
of no more than 30 minutes.

:28:45
Full hours can be a little bit intimidating...
:28:48
...and most activities take about half an hour.
:28:50
Taking a bath: One unit.
:28:52
Watching "Countdown":
:28:54
Okay...
:28:56
One unit.
