45 Years (2015)

45 Years is a critically acclaimed British drama film released in 2015. Directed by Andrew Haigh, the movie stars Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay, delivering compelling performances that earned Rampling an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. The film follows Kate and Geoff Mercer, who are preparing to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary. However, their seemingly idyllic relationship is shaken when Geoff receives news that the body of his former girlfriend, who died tragically almost 50 years ago, has been found frozen in the Swiss Alps. As Geoff becomes consumed by memories from his past, Kate is forced to confront the secrets and doubts that have silently lingered throughout their marriage.

A And how the lads have descended into old age, it's not pretty.
A And that's how they found her.
A fissure.
A kiss.
A top table is so lovely at an event like this.
About an hour. I've got to call the florist and one or two things.
Again, I'm sorry I didn't get you anything.
Ah, Kate.
Ah, thank you.
Ah, there's me...me and me goggles, strimming.
Ah!
All I want now is for you to just come to the party tomorrow.
All I was doing, I promise.
All our decisions, where we go on holiday, what books we read,
All right, it was a little bit funny.
All right, see you later.
All that's left is the ice.
And everything I know,
And for those of you that don't know, or weren't alive,
And George will be very upset.
And Higher And Higher by...
And I decided it would be best if we found someone,
And I don't think you've got past chapter two in any of them.
And I hate parties anyway, at the best of times.
And I think, really, that's about all I've, er...got to say,
And I'm really over the moon for both of you.
And if they hadn't found her, that's when she'd have come down,
And in America we'd just had the Bay of Pigs.
And it was a nice day, so off I went.
And it's been organised for so long.
And it's tainted everything.
And Kerouac was just standing there.
And Kerouac was looking down this hole.
And Len, he's got a villa on the Algarve.
And not only during the speeches.
And now all he can talk about is playing golf on the Al fucking garve
And now...
And nuthatches, they fly to the top of the trunk, work their way down.
And once we've used them up, they're gone.
And over the years they were cut deeper and wider,
And putting up with all my nonsense, and, er...long may it continue.
And she did die.
And she kept asking me if I was all right.
And thank you for standing by me through all these years
And that has to be worth celebrating, doesn't it?
And that's how I see Katya and me.
And that's not the same thing at all.
And that's the reason?
And the big things, too.
And the days we didn't go anywhere,
And the glacier was on the right, below us.
And the last sound but one that I heard was her laughter.
And the photos are really beautiful.
And the unions, they don't give a shit.
And then we can take Max for a walk.
And then we're going to get up.
And then we're going to have dinner, and then we're going to go to bed.
And then what?
And there's George, wanging on about his fucking ukulele.
And they'd just spring up.
And this is why the Broads are as they are today
And this really is a great venue for such an event.
And we'll try and start again.
And when I said I was, she wouldn't believe me.
And yet we never talked about it in all the years that we've known each other.
And you think that's what's happened?
And, Christ, did it annoy me.
And, er, I'm sorry, I truly am,
And...l wasn't doing anything.
Anyone you know still there?
Anyway, it gives him a chance to vent.
Are pretty bloody important.
Are you getting someone to do your makeup on Saturday?
Are you going to Switzerland?
As when we set out in complete seriousness at four in the fucking morning.
As, um, as we get older,
At Crawley's?
Back in her Berlin, the Wall was going up
Beautiful thing, it was.
Because if you do go, and if I...
Because it's one thing me knowing I haven't been enough for you.
Because these glaciers, they're melting a lot more than people imagined,
Because they thought we were married.
Because, er, well, for me, Kate,
Before they kill themselves, you know, with the disappointment.
Big ones, anyway.
Biscuit? No?
Brave, even.
Brave?
But anyway, er, persuading you to marry me
But I can't.
But I think it says they've found her.
But I'm fine.
But it was a long time ago, so, I mean, I could be wrong.
But still...
But that racist from the community centre...
But the battle was won.
But then, there was a scream.
But those memories...
But up there, we weren't thinking about all that.
But we didn't get to Italy, did we?
But we were both going through something really unpleasant, and...
But y you're right.
But you'll be fine. You were always a capable young man.
But, at the same time, we weren't heedless at all.
But, er...well...
But, er...whatever.
Can you imagine how incredible that must have been?
Come down like a tsunami, wipe out everything in its path.
Come on with ya.
Come on, Max.
Come on!
Come on! Good boy.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on. Come on. Good boy.
Cos, I l remember telling you, clear as day.
Could I interest you in a Big Issue?
D Do you remember that one in Scotland?
Did Geoff say anything?
Did you know that the Trafalgar Ball was held here?
Did you manage to fix it?
Different in those days, Kate, and then after the accident...
Do you know what I mean?
Do you remember Red Len?
Do you think my library card will still be valid, Kate?
Do you understand that?
Don't think so.
Don't you think?
Er, don't be cross, Kate.
Er, it took some doing, by the way.
Er, like all couples, we've had our downs as, er...as well as our ups.
Er, like the choice, er, Kate and me made
Er, maybe it doesn't matter.
Er, song? Oh, songs, yes.
Er, upstaged things a few years ago, so, anyway, there we are.
Er, yes, indeed.
Er...just a minute.
Especially the big things.
Even when you have reasons.
Everyone here, dressed in their finest, celebrating such an achievement.
Except that, er...l love you.
Finding somewhere to stay, finding food.
First dance.
FOhA'
FOhA'
FOhA'
For all of you to enjoy.
For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield.
Found it, Max.
Found who?
From what she's wearing?
Fuck me!
Fucking endless.
Funny you'd remember that.
Geoff and Kate!
Geoff is not much of a crier.
Geoff says he's not sure that he wants to go to the works lunch.
GEOFF: Do you think the library will have anything on climate change?
Geoff?
George was awful, but then do you remember him at the actual party?
George was looking forward to getting the old gang together but if...
Give us a shout when you're ready.
God, who? Geoff.
Good afternoon, love. Spare a couple of minutes?
Gorgeous, we both are.
Gracious, are you having a go at that again?
Hang on.
Have a bit of a browse.
He actually teaches guitar, but it's all free.
He gets over passionate about things.
He kept doing a Nazi salute.
He was acting like he used to.
He was forever making these jokes I didn't get.
He's started, er, teaching ukulele as well.
He's... well, he's been organising it for weeks.
Heedless?
Heedless.
Hello, ladies. Have a good day, ladies.
Hello.
Hey.
Hi, it's George the DJ.
His face, oddly enough, it looked almost yellow.
Hm.
Hope you've got your speech prepared.
How am I going to climb a fucking mountain?
How can you be when, when you know what your purpose is'?
How long had you been up there'?
How much he cried?
How old was she?
How strange would that be, though?
How was it?
I believe you.
I bet he cried at your wedding.
I can hardly be cross with something that happened before we existed, can I?
I didn't.
I don't doubt it a second.
I don't like the idea of you climbing a big bloody mountain.
I don't mind if you don't, but I wondered why.
I don't remember who that's by.
I don't remember.
I don't see the point.
I don't think...l don't think Geoff wanted to go to the pub.
I give you Mr and Mrs Mercer.
I give you...Mr Geoffrey Mercer.
I guess we didn't see the point of taking pictures of ourselves.
I hardly go walking any more.
I haven't lost my sense of smell, you know?
I just don't want us to start smoking again.
I just don't.
I just, er...stayed at home,
I know I said I could, but I can't.
I know they were only flowers, but they seemed so determined.
I know this girl. She's very subtle.
I like not knowing the time.
I love you very much.
I made you some tea.
I mean, I hadn't even voted for her.
I mean, I never even celebrate my birthday.
I mean, it might not be her at all.
I mean, not like Lena does with her wall display.
I mean, not now.
I mean, that's the strange thing.
I mean, what were you actually doing?
I need the songs for Saturday.
I promise.
I saw a treecreeper here, once, a lovely little bird.
I shouldn't have brought it up.
I sometimes think it's a shame not to have more photos around the house.
I suppose a cuddle's out of the question.
I suppose it's because they've got children and grandchildren, and...
I suppose not.
I suppose that's why you fell in love with him.
I suppose we don't realise at the time
I taught it to the third formers.
I tell you, if I was still in management, I wouldn't have let that happen.
I think I would remember my husband being another woman's next of kin.
I think I'm going to have a... go upstairs and have a bath.
I think she's got a very good eye.
I think that's the word I'm looking for.
I think you were just chasing a girl who wanted to be chased.
I thought you didn't like theoretical questions.
I took it up about three months ago.
I want to ask you something before we go to sleep.
I want to hear nice things about Kate on Saturday.
I want to know if a man has been in here.
I was going to get you a watch.
I was that close to divorcing him.
I was the greatest catch in the world.
I was thinking of having it engraved, but I wasn't sure what to write.
I wasn't even 20, and you were so cool, with your cigarette hanging in your mouth.
I wasn't thinking of it.
I went to the travel agent today.
I will say, though, it's a wonderful place, location wise, for an anniversary.
I'd better try and make sense, then.
I'd like to be able to tell you everything I'm...thinking,
I'd love to tell you a bit about this charity we've got going on.
I'd want a picture of you at the Leeds Mecca.
I'll be right back.
I'll give it me best shot.
I'll pick it up in a few days.
I'll show you.
I'll speak to him.
I'm fine.
I'm glad you like it.
I'm going to have a smoke.
I'm just not sure you do.
I'm just telling you what George said.
I'm not prancing around in the living room at this time of night.
I'm not trying to upset you. Really, I'm not.
I'm not upset, but you're not telling me anything.
I'm not. I'm just taking an evening course, just for the fun of it.
I'm OK.
I'm quite tired, too.
I'm sure you could borrow it.
I'm tired.
I'm tired.
I've been...
I've got lots to do tomorrow.
I've got the twins waking me up at the crack of dawn.
I've managed to fix the lavatory without cutting me finger off.
I've still got it somewhere.
If I hadn't, well, it's hardly, er...
If I'm looking tired, you can just tell me.
If it's some twist of evolution
If she hadn't died, if you had got to Italy,
If you go to a guy called justinguitarscom,
In front of all my friends at my birthday
Is he smoking again?
Is it all right?
Is it Jackie Wilson?
Is it late?
Is that Geoff?
It can't be that easy.
It doesn't even feel like it was me that was there.
It doesn't mean anything. It's just a fucking picture.
It doesn't, but it's been arranged.
It is a lot of pressure for both of us.
It is.
It must be, so they can see her.
It needs a new ballcock, I think.
It seemed a lot longer.
It sure has.
It was a small wooden ring, like a curtain ring, made of oak.
It was fantastic. Wasn't it?
It was in 1805.
It was low and guttural,
It was our first house.
It was so bloody unreliable.
It was.
It was.
It wasn't a loud scream, neither.
It wasn't funny, Kate.
It's a good instrument to learn. You can play anything on the ukulele.
It's about, er...it's about you and me.
It's all been streamlined.
It's always them that break first.
It's been a bit of a shock, that's all.
It's either that or he comes shopping with us.
It's funny how you forget the things in life that make you happy.
It's in the loft.
It's just a party.
It's just a picture. It's all it is.
It's like she's been standing in the corner of the room all this time,
It's my husband.
It's not just George Formby, which is good because, as you know, I always hated him.
It's not that far.
It's nothing grand.
It's something...
It's your 40th, isn't it?
Just answer me.
Just because I dared to say that Thatcher hadn't done such a bad job of it.
Just try and enjoy yourself today.
Just you wait for those tears.
Kate, there's Tessa when she was a puppy.
KATE: On what? Climate change.
Know what he's like with daytime drinking.
L I don't know where to look.
L I think, um... I think that's the worst part of getting decrepit,
L I was her next of kin. I'm sure I told you this before, Kate.
L I was remembering today how we used to see these flowers.
L Like that, er, Tollund Man in the Swedish bog.
Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for.
Ladies...
Lena, this is wonderful. Thank you.
LENA: Do you want more milk?
Let's go upstairs.
Like a dam, yeah. It's waiting, waiting, waiting, and then...
Like a good marriage.
Like I said, Kate, it wouldn't come to that.
Like me discovering what this smell is around the house.
Like that time he kept accusing me of being a fascist
Like what?
Like, er...like George's knee.
Look at this. Yes.
Look, Kate, look how beautiful you are.
Looks like it.
Losing that...purposefulness.
MAN: Go on, Geoffrey.
Max, shut up!
Max!
Max!
Max!
Maybe you were jealous.
Meaning?
Minding me own business and getting some air.
Mm, thank you.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm. Mm.
Mm. Sandra Wilkins.
Most of them are mine.
Mum!
My first job on the floor doesn't exist any more.
My German, it wasn't that great, what with its accent.
My husband thought it a horribly bourgeois tradition.
My husband was ill and our 40th was cancelled, so we had to rearrange.
My mum died that year.
No rush.
No surprises, Lena. I don't want a surprise.
No, I just wanted to check you were all right.
No, I l won't, I won't.
No, I'll speak to him.
No, it's saturating into the rock beneath, and it's building up and up and up.
No, Kate, that's not the reason.
No, let's just go to sleep.
No, no, no, no, no, you have to.
No, of course I don't mind.
No, y you should go.
No?
No? No problem.
No.
No.
No. I think I was enough for you.
No. Kate, she wore a ring on her finger.
No. Lovely song.
Not about you as such, but about the party.
Not bad for an old fascist, huh?
Not like her voice, which was soft, higher pitched.
Not really.
Not really.
Not sure it works like that. Not after all this time.
Nothing.
Nothing. Just sitting on the bench by the duck pond,
Nothing. Nothing but do it yourself books.
Now that we're older, though, it...it's a shame.
Now they've found her.
Now, can you hear me?
Now, er, I'm not used to making this kind of speech
Now, just imagine if those Romans had found peat elsewhere
Now, things...things haven't always been, er...idyllic.
Of course it is.
Of course you should.
Of course.
Oh, bugger.
Oh, Christ, Kate. This isn't about Katya.
Oh, don't be silly.
Oh, er, there's another thing.
Oh, good.
Oh, he'll be all right.
Oh, I don't remember that.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, it's great. Great.
Oh, it's odd, isn't it,
Oh, my God, I completely forgot.
Oh, no, no, no. No, h hell, no.
Oh, no, no. She had dark hair.
Oh, six or seven weeks, I suppose.
Oh, sure. Yeah. Mm.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, yeah, I was, er...trying to mend the lavatory and, er, well, I cut me thumb.
Oh, yeah, yeah, th those, er, airmen in...lceland, I l think it was,
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yes, I l meant to call you.
Oh, you are, too.
Oh, you know what I mean.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh. It looks different, all empty.
OK, Kate, I can do that.
OK, Mum. I think it's enough now. It's getting really boring.
OK, Mum. I think it's enough now. It's getting really boring.
OK, OK, OK.
OK, then, I'll see you later.
OK, you could've... you could've just told me, Geoff.
OK.
OK. Go on.
Old men in shops tinkering with their cuckoo clocks.
On this, er...sort of occasion,
Open your eyes.
Or chosen to dig in another part of the country.
Or maybe our brains, they just get a bit, er, old and arthritic,
Or think it's a bit naff to have the same song we had at our wedding?
Or...maybe I just let them, I don't know.
PARTY GUESTS: Aw.
PARTY GUESTS: Aw.
PARTY GUESTS: Aw.
PARTY GUESTS: Geoff and Kate!
Perhaps we only get so many, er, in a lifetime,
Photos.
Please come down. This is ridiculous.
Please eat this. And take your pills.
Please, Kate, just go back to bed.
Please, stop saying her name.
Put your book away.
Really?
Really?
Red Len, with a banker for a grandson.
Sally's got this amazing roll on thing, zaps away dark circles.
Sally's wedding, Charley's christening.
Schools, churches, people in cafes drinking their coffee,
See you later. Have a nice time.
Shall I turn off the light?
Shall we have a look at the canapé list?
She came up to me, right up to me face,
She was two years older than me, and that was '62.
She'll look like she did in 1962.
She's been there over 50 years, like something in the freezer.
She's had nothing to do with any of that.
Show me the bloody picture!
Since leaving my parents, leaving my father.
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by The Platters.
So full of history, you see?
So you can't just back out of things simply because you don't feel like it.
So, how do they know it's her?
So, I hear you don't want to go to the Crawley's lunch.
So, I was in the village, and I don't know what happened
So, should I not be having a party?
So, what's going to happen with your dress? What would you like?
So?
Some days, we forgot all about getting to Italy. Just stayed put.
Some of you may recall that, er...my bypass,
Some sort of violet, I think they were.
Some sort of violet, I think they were.
Somebody told me that they fly down to the bottom of the tree and work their way up.
Sort of outpouring of air from her lungs, from the shock, I suppose.
Stay there, Max.
Still...
Stopped anyone having any fun.
Strimming.
T They've found Katya.
Tell you what.
Tessa before him.
Th They've asked if I want to go to Switzerland.
Thanks.
That needs men to be obsessed by their obituaries, their legacies,
That persuading you, er, to marry me, Kate,
That was it, really.
That, er, you haven't, er... you haven't always known that
That's an unusual one to celebrate.
That's enough.
That's it?
That's it.
That's my favourite one, there.
That's terrible.
That's what George said.
That's what I'm asking you.
That's where we met.
That's why these things are important.
The Internet is absolutely brilliant.
The merchants used these newly created waterways,
The Moody Blues?
The sort of thing you tell
The two of you as a focal point of the room.
The upshot is that the choices we make when we're young
The worst part of it is that they all seemed interested.
Then I'm going to get them.
Then maybe it's ours to nudge them into realising what's really important
Then these broads wouldn't be here at all.
There are flights from Stansted.
There are no roads up there.
They laughed a lot.
They seemed just as purposeful
They were out of sight, round the corner,
They were perfectly preserved.
They were the same as when they died because of how quickly they froze.
They were walking up ahead, more than they needed to perhaps,
They'd find a patch of grass where the snow had melted
This is the very same song that was played 45 years ago today.
This is very beautiful.
This is, er, this is what it's...what it's all about, what all this is about,
This swarthy little bastard who thought he was Jack Kerouac.
To buy cigarettes?
Today.
Ugh, this weather.
Ugh.
Um, I l was her next of kin.
Um, I'm not interested.
Um, was he enquiring about Switzerland?
Um, Your Precious Love by Marvin Gaye.
Um...
Us.
Very upsetting.
W We all wish we'd done some things, er, differently,
Wandering around, turning our backs on civilisation.
Was he flirting with her?
Was she blonde?
Was the best thing I've ever done,
Was the best thing I've ever done.
Wasn't Nelson killed?
Way down, I'm sure, but the water is very pure up there.
Way down.
We ain't 20 any more.
We all, we all, er, think...
We can do that.
We could have gone to the pub, all of us.
We could put some up.
We had a map, er, to start with.
We had a table at our wedding, a top table, but we didn't like it at all.
We hold it together cos we already know how important these things are.
We just had to pretend, so people would let us stay in their houses.
We seem to stop, er, making choices.
We shall see, won't we? But you should concentrate on it.
We used to call him Len in,
We We told them we were.
We were being heedless.
We were on a track round this rock,
We won't be having a top table, but thank you.
We would have married each other.
We'll be long dead by then.
We're not at school any more.
We're not trying to recreate the wedding.
We've got to think a lot more about the environment.
We've used you a few times and I wondered if he'd been in.
Well, Danish, actually.
Well, did he say why?
Well, er, I'll just go do what I have to do.
Well, he was very aggressive.
Well, her body, anyway.
Well, I can't remember the verbs as well as the nouns, but...
Well, I can't walk to the village without...without sitting down.
Well, I don't know, but you can imagine.
Well, I don't think it would come to that.
Well, I must try and make this one super special, then, mustn't I?
Well, I'd like to thank you all, first off, for being here this evening.
Well, I'll leave them there. And I'll take one.
Well, I'm not saying what we did was out of bravery.
Well, I'm sure George can stand up for himself.
Well, it wasn't real.
Well, maybe they do and nobody takes any notice.
Well, no.
Well, officially.
Well, she's in a glacier in the Swiss mountains, Kate.
Well, they did have, er...the language.
Well, they've made an assumption, I suppose, from where they found her.
Well, this is where the tables are usually placed.
Well, to see the body.
Well, we didn't know each other then, you and I,
Well, why were you her next of kin?
Weren't thinking about our future.
What about your first dance?
What did you think of Sally's photos?
What do you mean about... vent about the party?
What do you mean?
What do you think of that Platters song?
What do you want to eat?
What dog you want to choose, what music we want to listen to.
What else? I l haven't got my list.
What for?
What have you done to your finger?
What is it?
What made them think that?
What would you want photos of?
What, to make our husbands cry?
What? No, they're all new.
What's he doing?
What's it say'?
What's that in your hand?
What's that?
What's that?
When every day seems to have some point to it.
When I got there, she'd gone.
When I think how awful George was before our 40th,
Which are?
Why all...why all our friends are here this evening.
Why does it matter to you if I go or not?
Why don't you check in the plastic boxes?
Why not?
Why not?
Why would they ask that?
Will do.
Will you come with me? I've got something to show you.
Wish we hadn't made certain mistakes,
With all the rock and debris.
With his grandson, who's a banker.
WOMAN: Can I help you?
Would anybody like one, this week's Big Issue?
Would anybody like one, this week's Big Issue?
Would have been a bit vain.
Would the two lovebirds kindly take to the floor for the first dance?
Would you have married her for real?
Wow.
Y Yeah, I thought I'd make us some scrambled eggs
Y You know who I'm talking about, don't you?
Y you know, to help us get to the Italian border.
Yeah, a fissure, I suppose you'd call it, like a narrow, narrow crack in the rock.
Yeah, boy! Come on!
Yeah, but if you had.
Yeah, but it's far enough.
Yeah, but we don't have any. Not really.
Yeah, he was very sweet.
Yeah, her.
Yeah, I l know I told you about my Katya.
Yeah, I l want to go to Thorns, get a new ballcock.
Yeah, I thought I might come into town with you, if you don't mind.
Yeah, I'm going to need a dictionary.
Yeah, I've still got it.
Yeah, it was my first home since leaving home,
Yeah, it'll be fine.
Yeah, it's been an odd day.
Yeah, like yours.
Yeah, not bad at all.
Yeah, really, I am.
Yeah, so she was about 27.
Yeah, so your father, I l don't think he was convinced
Yeah, we have got some eggs, haven't we?
Yeah, we were getting higher into the mountains
Yeah, when we went to Egypt.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I'll try.
Yeah. Mm.
Yes, I do want to be there.
Yes, I do.
Yes, I know, but who from?
Yes, it is, yeah.
Yes, well, it's your choice, of course.
Yes, you would have married her?
Yes, your assistant told me.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes. I saw a documentary on it.
You and me, Kate.
You didn't find it. You went looking for it in the middle of the night
You didn't know her.
You don't like going for a walk with me on the Broads
You had a camera, once.
You have reached Geoff and Kate. Please leave a message.
You haven't listened to this for a long time.
You know what Geoff's like.
You know, grappling with the ballcock.
You know, I l feel sure I've told you before,
You know, you have three editions of that book,
You must be getting excited.
You really believe you haven't been enough for me?
You see, what's happened is the snow has completely melted.
You should get him to shave before the big day too.
You used to say that everybody taking pictures all the time
You want a photograph of that?
You were a bloody knockout.
You weren't, though?
You when you were decorating Clitheroe and you hammered that nail into your hand.
You wouldn't fucking believe what they've done to the place.
You wouldn't have to worry about looking like a hooker.
You'd love the landscape out there, Kate.
You're early this morning.
You're just climbing up some bloody mountain.
You're just saying that Geoff was in a strange mood.
You're looking tired.
You're not lying to me?
You're up early this morning.
You're welcome to clean out the dog cans and put them in the right bins.
You've been looking forward to seeing everyone again.
You've been talking about it for weeks.
Your beautiful new girlfriend, is it?
45 years ago...today.
45th.
(clatter) (gasps) Oh.
(clears her throat) Hope I can remember what you do.
(exhales heavily) She's a dreadful woman.
(laughs) You always did hate Kerouac. Yes, I did.
(overlapping voices) Yes.
(sighs) God, that's just horrible.
A guide? Yeah, wasn't really a guide.
About the party? No, not about the party.
About what? About you.
And he's your friend. Oh, fine.
and that's as flat as a pancake. I know.
and the water's just not coming down. It's got to go somewhere.
Are you all right? Fine.
Are you sure you're all right? Yes. Yes.
