Birds of a Feather s04e05 Caring Subtitles

00:00:13,060 --> 00:00:17,Excuse me. I'm looking for me aunt, Mrs.
Sims. The bed just there. The one with

00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:18,the curtains pulled round.

00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,What? What's the matter with her?

00:00:21,460 --> 00:00:22,Silk! Oi!

00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,Shut the curtains! She's having a wee!

00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,Sorry. I thought something had happened.

00:00:28,180 --> 00:00:30,Something would have if you hadn't
pulled me off.

00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:34,What do we owe this honour?

00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:38,How are you? I'm fed up.

00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:40,Oh, ta.

00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:45,Oh, you lost weight?

00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,No, I thought not.

00:00:48,820 --> 00:00:50,I hear the Queen's been up here today.

00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,Yeah, we never g***t to see her, though.
She came up to Bart's when I was in

00:00:54,580 --> 00:00:56,with me. I never g***t to see her there,
neither.

00:00:57,340 --> 00:01:00,Never mind. You can still kid on to
people that she's been to visit you

00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:02,That's once more than you've managed.

00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:04,I've been busy at the cafe.

00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,Sylvie understands.

00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,You eating all right, Phil? I don't like
hospital food.

00:01:10,340 --> 00:01:13,Well, that's what did for your Uncle
Russell. He came in on a Thursday, had

00:01:13,820 --> 00:01:16,cauliflower cheese for dinner, and the
next morning he was gone.

00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,Phil, he had a brain tumour.

00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,Well, he'd had that for years.

00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:24,Well, don't worry about it.

00:01:24,860 --> 00:01:27,You should bring her in some sandwiches,
Trace. Oh, should I?

00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,How are you sleeping?

00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:31,I can't get comfortable. I never seem to
have enough of these pillars.

00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:34,You want one of them special pillars
what supports your neck.

00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,Get her one, Trace.

00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:37,Anything else?

00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:38,Yeah, bring her in some extra blankets.

00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:40,There ain't enough here to keep her
warm.

00:01:40,990 --> 00:01:43,What you really need is a man to give
you a cuddle.

00:01:44,610 --> 00:01:46,I'll bring her in one of them and all,
shall I?

00:01:47,290 --> 00:01:48,I'll be like that.

00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:51,Trish, get me a big pen. I think I want
to go now. Oh, hold on. I'll get a

00:01:51,570 --> 00:01:53,nurse, Sylvia. I've trouble getting it
under you.

00:01:54,570 --> 00:01:57,Nurse, could you sort her out, please?

00:01:58,210 --> 00:01:59,I want a word with you.

00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:05,Why don't you come in here winding her
up? There's nothing wrong with her food,

00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:06,her pillows or her blankets.

00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,She just complains for the sake of it.

00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,Sylvie's never been one to complain for
no reason.

00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:12,Excuse me, Mrs.

00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:15,Theodopoulosidis? No, that's me. Oh,
sorry.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,Not as sorry as I **.

00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,Then you must be Mrs.

00:02:19,220 --> 00:02:20,Stubbs. That's right.

00:02:20,420 --> 00:02:22,Could I have a word with you both about
Sylvie?

00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,She's going to be all right, isn't she?
Yes, her fracture's healing nicely.

00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,It's her future that we're worried
about.

00:02:30,269 --> 00:02:34,We think this latest fall proves she's
just too old to live on her own anymore.

00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:36,So what does that mean?

00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:38,Well, we can get her a place in the
Maybury.

00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:41,It's an old people's home near to where
she lives.

00:02:41,730 --> 00:02:44,No. We don't want her to go in a home,
do we, Trace?

00:02:44,490 --> 00:02:45,Well, no.

00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:47,She can come live with us. We've g***t
plenty of room.

00:02:47,330 --> 00:02:48,Hold on!

00:02:48,610 --> 00:02:50,It's either that or she goes into a
home.

00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:53,Nurse! I've tipped my bedpan up!

00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,Right, Sylvie's room's all ready.

00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:05,I'm going to be stuck in there until her
leg gets better, so I'll give her

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,Garfield's portable telly.

00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:08,We'll have to find somewhere else to
hide his dirty books under.

00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,Don't you go saying anything in front of
him, embarrassing him.

00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:13,Who, me?

00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:16,Scrabble?

00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:18,I suppose you didn't think I could play?

00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:20,I didn't think you could read.

00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,Where did this come from?

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,I dug it out the loft for Sylvie.

00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,Remember all the games we used to play
when we lived with her?

00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:29,No.

00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,No, you was too busy playing with Daryl.

00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,Me and Sylvie used to play him all the
time, either that or drafts. I remember

00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:38,the drafts. That house was like an
icebox.

00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:41,The only warmth I ever felt in that
place was when you wet the bed we had to

00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,share.

00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,Don't look like that.

00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:50,I was 12 years old and I'd just lost me
mum and dad.

00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,God knows what would have happened to us
if Sylvie hadn't taken us in.

00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,You know, I'm quite looking forward to
living with her again.

00:04:00,450 --> 00:04:01,What? Four.

00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:04,I see her every day at that hospital.
You never.

00:04:04,610 --> 00:04:07,Change the record, try. Because if you
had, you'd know she's changed.

00:04:08,210 --> 00:04:11,I mean, how often have we seen her since
we stopped living with her? An hour's

00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:15,visit, three or four times a year, a
five -minute phone call every fortnight.

00:04:15,510 --> 00:04:17,She's different, Cheryl. She's g***t old.

00:04:17,769 --> 00:04:19,Old people can be very trying.

00:04:20,029 --> 00:04:21,Yeah, you can, can't you?

00:04:22,510 --> 00:04:26,I'm just not sure we've discussed this
enough. There's no... thing to discuss.

00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:29,ain't even had a chance to talk to Dale
about it. Well, I shouldn't think he'll

00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,worry. By the time he comes out, chances
are she'll have passed on.

00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:33,Yeah, but what if she hasn't?

00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,We'll take her downstairs things and tip
her off the pier.

00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:38,Right, I'm off to college.

00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:41,I hate the journey there. It's such a
drag.

00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,Now, if I was to buy myself a
motorbike... Don't start that again.

00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:46,Oh, why not?

00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:49,I was thinking I could get one with part
of my grant. Yeah, and what are you

00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,going to live on for the rest of the
term?

00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:53,I've g***t my savings, and I can help out
in the CAF occasionally.

00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,I don't want you to get one. They're too
dangerous, Gar.

00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:57,He's not a baby.

00:04:58,740 --> 00:04:59,I always wanted a bike.

00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,A big Harley.

00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,Yeah. Shut up, you. I'd be worried sick.

00:05:05,140 --> 00:05:06,I won't get a minute's peace.

00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:07,All right. All right. Forget it.

00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:09,What time's Sylvia arriving?

00:05:10,220 --> 00:05:11,Sometime this afternoon.

00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,Tell me, Gar, do you have any worries
about Sylvia coming to stay?

00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:16,No. I always g***t on fine with her.

00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,See? She caught me smoking one of Dad's
cigarettes when I was 11 and she didn't

00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:23,grasp. All in all, I'd say she was my
favourite aunt.

00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:28,Tracey, did I tell you what I found
under Garfield's television?

00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:32,Dust. Well, it was certainly filth.
Yeah.

00:05:33,690 --> 00:05:35,Garfield, here a minute.

00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:37,What's that for?

00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:39,Monkey.

00:05:40,490 --> 00:05:43,Well, he don't seem too bothered about
her coming to live. Well, he's not the

00:05:43,490 --> 00:05:46,one who'll have to look after her. I had
a cousin who took in an elderly

00:05:46,370 --> 00:05:49,grandmother, and from the moment she
arrived, her life wasn't her own. I'm

00:05:49,810 --> 00:05:50,telling you.

00:05:50,620 --> 00:05:54,You let yourself get in the grip of an
OAP and it's goodbye freedom. Hello,

00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,rubber sheets.

00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:58,You horrible, artless mare.

00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,I pity your old mum if she...
