Footprints in the Snow2005

[in the hospital shortly after Julie's car crash]

Julie Hill:
How's Kev? Is he coping?

Julie's Mum:
Well, it's not easy. I'm trying to keep the load off him.

Julie Hill:
A lot of marriages don't last, apparently. And quite a few top themselves.

Julie's Mum:
You're not thinking...?

Julie Hill:
I *have* asked my social worker if she wouldn't mind pushing me over a cliff. But it's OK - they're not allowed to unless they get permission from the ministry, mum!

Julie's Mum:
Oh! You!

[they laugh]
