The Living and the Dead

James:
When you leave, I'm the one to look after our house, I'm the one to look after Mummy.

Donald Brocklebank:
[answering phone] Hello? Hello? Yes, yes I know. No, I didn't know that. No, that's not good at all. No, she doesn't know. Hmm. Hmm. Exactly. Okay, goodbye.

James:
They going to make it?

Donald Brocklebank:
No, they're not.

James:
Can I look after mummy this time.

Donald Brocklebank:
I'm not going away.

James:
But you always say that, you always do.

James:
[knocking] Some one's at the door! [starts running]

Donald Brocklebank:
Stop James, I said stop!

James:
But I want to see who it is...

Donald Brocklebank:
We both know what you're like with people you don't know.

James:
But I like people.

Donald Brocklebank:
Yes, but they don't like you. Now quick, hide.

James:
I'm going to prove to both of you that you *can* trust me. When daddy gets back, you're going to be better.

Nancy Brocklebank:
In that case, I need to go to the loo.

James:
Oh.
