Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Series 1

Sister:
Oh, you come again?

Dennis:
Yeah. Er... have you moved him?

Sister:
I'm sorry, he's died.

Neville:
Eh?

Sister:
It was expected.

Neville:
But... he was only... here yesterday.

Sister:
Of course, but...

Dennis:
Here, Neville, well, I mean...

Sister:
One minute. [She goes to the bed and picks up Hedley's belongings.]

Dennis:
Like the Sister says, you know, it was... for the best. It was expected.

Sister:
He has no family in Germany since his wife's death.

Dennis:
Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Nurse:
[Passing through with pillowcases] Vorsicht! Vorsicht! Darf ich bitte vorbei. Danke schön. (Excuse me! Excuse me! Can I get through, please? Thank you very much.)

Sister:
So, perhaps you wish to take this.

Dennis:
Oh. Okay then, thanks. [Takes Hedley's belongings from the Sister.]

Sister:
He was looking at these before he... It was the last thing he was holding.

Dennis:
Really? [The Sister leaves the ward.]

Neville:
[Upset] I cannae believe it.

Dennis:
Aye. It shakes you up a bit, son, doesn't it?

Neville:
[Sitting on the bed] I've, erm, I've never experienced death before. Not first hand. I mean, me dad died, but I was just a nipper. A few relatives I hardly knew.

Dennis:
[Opening the envelope] Yeah, well... we barely knew him, I mean, did we?

Neville:
No, but we were gettin' to know him though, weren't we? And then, next day, just like that...

Dennis:
Yer see, Neville, I mean, you're a young lad, you know. You go to christenings and weddings. You know, once you start gettin' a bit older, you... you get used to goin' to funerals, yer kna.

Neville:
I suppose so. [Dennis takes out the items in the envelope.] What's those?

Dennis:
Oh, some old, er, postcards. [He looks through them] The Lake District... Vale of Evesham... Hey, yer kna, despite what the old bugger said, I reckon, er... he missed England after all, yer know.

Neville:
Where will he be buried, Dennis?

Dennis:
Well, here, I suppose. I mean, he didn't have anybody else, did he?

Neville:
He had a sister.

Dennis:
[Looks at Neville] So what?

Neville:
I think he'd have wanted to go back home.
