Niin, kyllä sinä olet. Olin yrittänyt puhua Brianista viime aikoina. Oletko? Se oli todennäköisesti epäonnistunut. Luulen, että hän on täysin loppunut siitä. Hän näyttää, että hän on lopulta löytänyt sen. Hän on yllättynyt. En tiedä, mitä voisi tehdä hänelle. Toivon, ettei. Jos äiti oli vielä elämässä. Älä. Olen pahoillani, äiti. Olen pahoillani. En tarkoita, että hän on saanut salta huoneelle.

Se on oikeastaan. Ei ole mitään, mitä en tiedä. Tai ajattelin jo. Pinttä kiinni. Pohjaan. Ei, se on oikeastaan. Ei tarvitse tehdä sitä. Kiitos. Äly. Tänään on heidän perjantai. Kyllä. Toisella versiona tästä elämästä he olisivat jatkanut 50 vuotta tänään. Meillä olisi hieno juhla, ja kaikki olisi hyvin maailmassa.

Yeah, everything. I know, Lillian. You know? About? You know. I also know that Brian took the blame. Oh, right. Well, okay. Well, I'm glad that I know now, you know, that you know, but this probably isn't the best place to talk about. Yeah, sorry. It's all right. We're being discreet, but still. Yeah, okay.

Sorry about the wait, Lillian. How can I get you? Two cappuccinos, please, darling. And no need to apologize. I can see you rushed off your feet. How's it going with the investors? I must say they all look very happy tucking into their afternoon tea. It's going great. Honestly, these foreign investors couldn't be more different to the British ones. They're so interested in everything. Asking loads of questions about the history of Umbridge. Good job I did my homework. I might have had to blag a little bit.

Okay, sure. Anyway, better go. Yes, bye, Ben. What? You heard him. He was barking up the wrong tree, not to mention completely overstepping the mark. He was concerned about his friend, and he's likely to be even more concerned after your little outburst.

Why are you sweeping up, darling?

I thought you had lessons.

The Cooper kids aren't well, so I've got an hour's spare.

Just having a bit of a spring clean.

It's a nice distraction, actually.

Well, if you need a distraction, I could put the kettle on, bring you out a cup of tea.

I'm liking that idea.

And you can tell me what you need distracting from.

As if you can't guess.

Look, I thought we agreed to give your dad some space.

I did speak to Debbie.

Oh?

What, you changed your mind?

No, she rang me.

Just for a catch-up.
