00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:01,Thank you.

00:00:47,150 --> 00:00:48,Excuse me, I'm waiting for someone.

00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:50,Oh, well, sorry I'm late.

00:00:52,190 --> 00:00:54,Actually, I'm waiting for a girl called
Elizabeth Simpson.

00:00:54,670 --> 00:00:56,Call me picky, but you're not what I
expected.

00:00:58,430 --> 00:01:00,Well, you obviously don't recognize me,
do you?

00:01:01,190 --> 00:01:02,What?

00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:03,It's me, Elizabeth.

00:01:05,570 --> 00:01:07,Hey, you g***t a problem with your sense
of humor?

00:01:07,450 --> 00:01:08,I do, yes.

00:01:08,490 --> 00:01:09,But I'm hoping you'll go away shortly.

00:01:10,190 --> 00:01:12,Hey, I know what it is. You're English.

00:01:12,270 --> 00:01:13,It runs in the family.

00:01:13,730 --> 00:01:14,I blame the parents.

00:01:18,780 --> 00:01:19,James Thompson.

00:01:22,060 --> 00:01:23,Catherine Hill.

00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,Hi.

00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,Hey, you know, we won a war against you
guys once.

00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,Who said it was over?

00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,Look, why don't you say we meet up
sometime and make peace, huh?

00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:38,Maybe tonight.

00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:39,Diner across the road.

00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,I'd rather die of a protracted vomiting
fit.

00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,In fact, I probably would.

00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to
wait on the other side of these doors.

00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:50,You're standing rather close, and I hate
it when my skin crawls.

00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:53,Obviously, we'll both be attending this
school for a while yet, so it really

00:01:53,410 --> 00:01:55,would help in the future if you never
spoke to me again.

00:01:55,710 --> 00:01:56,Goodbye.

00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:07,Second thoughts, I'm not busy this
evening, so what the heck. 7 .30.

00:02:08,090 --> 00:02:09,Dress better.

00:02:44,810 --> 00:02:46,It's weird. It's horrible.

00:02:46,510 --> 00:02:48,I'm not exactly loving it myself.

00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:51,She talks like me, she acts like me, she
even looks like me.

00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:54,You think I'm crazy about that? I just
don't believe it.

00:02:54,530 --> 00:02:55,Well, me neither.

00:02:55,970 --> 00:02:59,Spike, you and I have been an on -off
item since we met, and now I discover

00:02:59,790 --> 00:03:03,an exact replica of your mother. Get off
it, Linda. You're not an exact replica.

00:03:03,390 --> 00:03:05,Look, just cut it out, you two, okay?

00:03:06,030 --> 00:03:07,Ma, please don't sit in that chair.

00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:09,Don't be silly.

00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:21,Why now?

00:03:21,220 --> 00:03:23,Why do you have to stick your nose back
in now?

00:03:23,420 --> 00:03:24,I mean, it's been over a decade.

00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:26,Cut it out, Spike.

00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,Mom, you don't tell me to cut out
anything, okay?

00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,No, that was me.

00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,All right, you want me to say it?

00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,I left you and your father 11 years ago
because I wanted a career, not a family.

00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,That was a terrible thing to do.

00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,But then that's me.

00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,What's the point in all this? It's the
past.

00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,Is it?

00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,I came here to talk about the future.

00:03:58,980 --> 00:03:59,What about the future?

00:04:13,150 --> 00:04:14,Let's get one thing straight first.

00:04:14,790 --> 00:04:17,Spike wasn't attracted to you because
you reminded him of his mother. It's

00:04:17,950 --> 00:04:19,that he's exactly like his dad.

00:04:19,769 --> 00:04:21,Give me a break. The man had no dress
sense.

00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:23,Looked through his clothes sometime.

00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:25,He had checked trousers.

00:04:25,410 --> 00:04:26,He had rather good dress sense at the
beginning.

00:04:27,630 --> 00:04:31,When we worked together on the school
magazine, this entire relationship had

00:04:31,450 --> 00:04:35,happened before, almost word for word,
and it ended in misery and heartbreak.

00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:38,I just thought it was worth mentioning,
that's all.

00:04:39,390 --> 00:04:42,So what you're really doing is warning
your son against women like you? You'd

00:04:42,810 --> 00:04:43,the same.

00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:49,Spike! Sorry, out of my league, out of
my depth, out of this room!

00:04:51,170 --> 00:04:52,Thanks for dropping by, Mom!

00:04:54,030 --> 00:04:55,I'd better get after him. No, wait!

00:04:56,330 --> 00:04:58,I'm not the person you should be talking
to, Linda, you know that.

00:04:59,250 --> 00:05:00,So who is?

00:05:00,370 --> 00:05:02,There must be someone you can take your
troubles to.

00:05:04,650 --> 00:05:05,Actually, no.

00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:10,Well, there was a teacher once.

00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:13,Mr Sullivan.

00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,Every time I had a problem at school,
I'd wait at morning break outside the

00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,staff toilet.

00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,I knew that's where he went to do the
crossword.

00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,He used to say he was my guardian angel.

00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,Oh, we all need those.

00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,For you?

00:05:28,180 --> 00:05:29,Yeah.

00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,Mr Sullivan, where are you now?

00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,Hello, Linda.

00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,Mr Sullivan.

00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,Great suit. Thank you. I always feel I
should be selling ice cream.

00:07:59,540 --> 00:08:01,So what can I do for you? What can I do
for you?

00:08:02,780 --> 00:08:05,Well, you were just thinking that you
wanted to speak to me, yes?

00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:06,How did you know that?

00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:12,Linda, as I've been trying to tell you
for years now, I'm your guardian angel.

00:08:13,460 --> 00:08:14,Oh.

00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:16,I thought you were my English teacher.

00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,Well, I've g***t to eat.

00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:21,I've g***t a guardian angel and you're it.

00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:23,Him, Linda.

00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,Don't be indelicate with your personal
pronouns.

00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,Sorry. Remember, I'm not just a
celestial messenger and spiritual

00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:32,I teach grammar.

00:08:32,940 --> 00:08:33,Of course, yeah.

00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:36,But I've g***t other problems right now.

00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:42,Let's see.

00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,How did you do that?

00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:45,And that?

00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,Linda shows a marked concern about the
future, amounting almost to an

00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,She seems deeply troubled at the idea
that she might not attain the success

00:08:54,140 --> 00:08:55,has always envisioned for herself.

00:08:57,580 --> 00:08:59,Well, that's your problem, isn't it,
Linda?

00:08:59,340 --> 00:09:02,The future? Is that like my celestial
ledger or something?

00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,No. It's a school report.

00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:07,Oh. The future, eh?

00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,Would you like to see some of the
future, Linda?

00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,Can you do that? What do you mean, can I
do it?

00:09:12,740 --> 00:09:13,I'm an angel.

00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't mind.

00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,Of course, some of the future events are
still being worked on by our creative

00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:21,team. They hate us to give away the
ending.

00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,But you can show me some of it.

00:09:23,340 --> 00:09:27,You'd have to content yourself with what
I choose to show you. No questions.

00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:28,No arguments.

00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,Sure. Very well, then.

00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,We will first of all take a very quick
tour of all the various futures of your

00:09:34,820 --> 00:09:35,friends on the news team.

00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:39,Just so that you can get some sort of
impression of how you have affected

00:09:39,660 --> 00:09:42,lives. Well, couldn't we just skip past
all them and get straight to me?

00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,Your ego and sense of self is vastly
overdeveloped. I warned them about that

00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,the design stage.

00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,I'll just get some clothes on. I don't
have unlimited time for this. I've g***t

00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,school tomorrow.

00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:55,OK. So what do we do?

00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,We don't do anything.

00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,I do.

00:09:59,780 --> 00:10:01,Are you composed and ready?

00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,As I'll ever be.

00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:03,That's what we're going to find out.

00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,Why do I do so many major things in my
life dressed in my pyjamas?

00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,We do have a sense of humour, you know.

00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:15,So who's future do we visit...
