Butterflies s04e01 Back From New York Subtitles

00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:13,Love is like a butterfly, soft and
gentle as a fly. The

00:00:13,420 --> 00:00:17,multicolored moods of love are like its
saddened wings.

00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,Love makes your heart feel strange
inside.

00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,It flutters like soft wings in flight.

00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,Love is like a butterfly, a rare and
gentle thing.

00:00:46,730 --> 00:00:50,Red kidney beans in 40p sauce.

00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:05,Pasta twigs.

00:01:07,450 --> 00:01:08,Instructions for cooking.

00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:12,Place in boiling water and simmer for
32p minutes.

00:01:20,940 --> 00:01:22,Dew -fresh yoghurt.

00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,Pure and natural food. Ingredients,
strawberries, sugar, gelatine,

00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,flavouring, preservative, modifying,
starch, colouring.

00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:40,Eggnog.

00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,Cauliflower.

00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,Complete frozen meal.

00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:25,Steak pie, duchess potatoes, carrots and
peas?

00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:28,Apple, crumble and custard?

00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,be in for dinner.

00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,They didn't say anything. They were too
preoccupied with breaking and entering

00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:01,the biscuit tin.

00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,I hope they won't be too long.

00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,The meal was frozen when I bought it.

00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:09,I took it round the park for a bit.

00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,I put it in the fridge for a bit.

00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,Then I put it in the hot oven.

00:03:16,020 --> 00:03:19,Took your bit out and my bit out and put
their bits back in.

00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,I'm not sure it can take much more.

00:03:23,660 --> 00:03:25,Did they say where they were going?

00:03:25,380 --> 00:03:26,No.

00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:28,One gave me a punch, the other blew me a
kiss, and that was it.

00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:33,Funny how insignificant one becomes. I
feel rather like the family dog.

00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:34,Hi, Dad.

00:03:34,780 --> 00:03:35,Mind how you go, Dad.

00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:38,Don't be throwing sticks for me on the
lawn yet.

00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,I thought, how casual are these
children, these half -men?

00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,How remote.

00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:51,After years of working and caring, the
reward is not conversation, not concern,

00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,but a token gesture.

00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,Just to make sure that I hadn't, like
the elephant, come home to expire.

00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,Well, what else could they do?

00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,They're busy and full of energy.

00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:05,Busy and full of energy? They haven't
worked for two years.

00:04:06,820 --> 00:04:10,Adam drove a lorry for a month, then
spent a week in his intensive care unit

00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,upstairs.

00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:14,What I mean is they don't think.

00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,As long as we're coherent and upright,
they don't think.

00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:21,Well, I suppose if I was sitting here in
an advanced state of rigor mortis, they

00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,might just notice and ask how I **.

00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:24,That's all I want.

00:04:25,050 --> 00:04:26,How are you, Dad?

00:04:26,770 --> 00:04:27,How is your life?

00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:29,What do you feel and think?

00:04:30,890 --> 00:04:32,Have you cried lately?

00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:35,Now, you know it would embarrass you if
they fart.

00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:37,Look what happened on your birthday.

00:04:38,510 --> 00:04:40,Ruffle put his arm round your shoulder.

00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:41,Adam shook your hand.

00:04:41,650 --> 00:04:43,You backed out the room as if they were
going to mug you.

00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:48,Funny how your children can make you
feel lonely.

00:04:51,740 --> 00:04:52,Thank you, sunshine.

00:04:52,820 --> 00:04:53,Oh, yeah?

00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,Then how come I ended up with her phone
number?

00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,Because she knew you were my brother and
she didn't know how else to get close

00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,to me.

00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,Hi, Mum. Hi, Dad.

00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:02,Sorry we're late.

00:05:03,020 --> 00:05:04,Aren't you going to wash your hands,
either of you?

00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,No. We don't mess about with people's
teeth like you do, Dad.

00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,Wow. Two veg.

00:05:13,820 --> 00:05:15,And some sort of pie.

00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:18,Not some sort of pie, Adam. Steak pie.

00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,It may be a bit fossilised, but that's
because you're late.

00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,Why are you late?

00:05:29,940 --> 00:05:30,What have you done?

00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,Well, uh... We were talking.

00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,You know, kind of going over things,
and... Do you realise in the two years

00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:45,Ruff and me have been out of work,
you've given us over £1 ,000 allowance?

00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,Now, that's a lot of bread, right?

00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,It's quite a lot of money, too.

00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:52,What have you done?

00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:56,We've been to the Social Security.

00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,Social Security.

00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,My son.

00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:06,Oh, come on, Mum. This is the 80s. Being
on Social Security is the in thing.

00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,Yeah, right.

00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,And Dad's already paying for it by
paying his taxes. If he gives it an

00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:12,allowance, he's paying twice.

00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,Doesn't pride come into it somewhere?

00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,Talk to them about pride.

00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,Come on, pride went out of fashion, Mum.

00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:25,Besides, it's one of the seven deadly
sins.

00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:26,Yeah, right.

00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:28,I mean, we're still into the other six,
obviously.

00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:35,I think your mother is using the word
pride to cover a variety of things,

00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,to do with the neighbours.

00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,I had hoped to preserve a degree of my
kind of pride, which I suppose is to

00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:45,preserve my instinct.

00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,to be a provider for those I'm saddled
with.

00:06:50,380 --> 00:06:54,However, it shows a certain amount of
concern on your part, and I certainly

00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,approve of that.

00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,Great. Yes, great.

00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,I absolutely disapprove.

00:07:00,340 --> 00:07:04,We are a self -supporting family unit.
We take nothing from anybody.

00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:11,Well, what I mean... Well, what I mean
is, if we take anything at all, we take

00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,it from your father.

00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,Oh, it's too much.

00:07:15,950 --> 00:07:17,Everything's changing in this house.

00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:21,My son going on social security. I feel
as if I'm living on shifting sand.

00:07:22,010 --> 00:07:25,Oh, come on, Mum. We get £20 .50 a week
each.

00:07:25,410 --> 00:07:27,Plus £3 .10p if we rent a room.

00:07:27,610 --> 00:07:29,Yeah, so we said we rent a room.

00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:30,But that's lying.

00:07:30,910 --> 00:07:33,Oh, no, it isn't. We will rent our
rooms.

00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:36,We'll give you the £3 .10p. Yeah, and
you can give it back to us.

00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:41,No, I'm not your mother. I'm your
landlady.

00:07:41,890 --> 00:07:42,Right.

00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:46,The decision rests with your father.

00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:50,I'll get the dessert.

00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:52,All we need is the rent book.

00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:56,Oh, come on, Dad, it'll help all of us.
You won't have to give us an allowance.

00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:58,Mum won't have to do so much cooking.

00:07:58,630 --> 00:07:59,And we'll be able to eat out.

00:08:02,110 --> 00:08:05,Look, I realise that as a family we are
always threatened by what might come out

00:08:05,950 --> 00:08:11,of that kitchen, but I also realise that
eating together is a reliable family

00:08:11,210 --> 00:08:12,bond.

00:08:12,430 --> 00:08:15,The more so, in our case, because of the
accompanying terror.

00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:22,However, providing you agree to drop the
rent book part of it and promise to be

00:08:22,670 --> 00:08:26,at the table when your mother staggers
in here with her culinary disaster, I

00:08:26,290 --> 00:08:27,would say nothing more.

00:08:28,350 --> 00:08:30,OK, if it's fine with us. Yeah.

00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:33,I suddenly feel all sort of independent.

00:08:34,049 --> 00:08:35,Yeah, me too.

00:08:35,470 --> 00:08:39,Joe, it always embarrassed me, taking
that allowance from you, Dad. Oh, yeah.

00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:40,Especially when you forgot.

00:08:40,570 --> 00:08:43,We used to have to hang around
mentioning the word Fridays all...
