00:00:00I may have ended up living a different life.
00:00:26I may have even liked it, but it doesn't matter anymore.
00:00:35This is my life.
00:00:36I might as well live it, no questions asked.
00:00:51The man sitting next to me is my husband, Michael.
00:00:56He's been having an affair for years now.
00:00:58Perhaps even a few affairs.
00:01:01We never discussed this.
00:01:03I pretend I don't know.
00:01:05And he pretends he doesn't see I'm pretending.
00:01:09Happy birthday, darling.
00:01:13I tried to write happy birthday in Arabic, but we ran out of icing, so a bit of a mess.
00:01:19Happy birthday.
00:01:21It's very sweet of you.
00:01:22Yes, please.
00:01:23Happy birthday.
00:01:25Yes, please.
00:01:26Happy birthday.
00:01:27I mean, birthday.
00:01:29Happy birthday, darling.
00:01:31Happy birthday, darling.
00:01:33Thank you, darling.
00:01:34Cheers.
00:01:35Thank you, darling.
00:01:36Cheers.
00:01:37Cheers.
00:01:42We've been sleeping in separate beds for years.
00:01:45It's been that way ever since we got married.
00:01:50A few months ago, we moved into a bigger home, which now allows us to sleep in separate rooms.
00:01:57But we play house quite well, probably a whole lot better than other couples.
00:02:03We do.
00:02:23Hey.
00:02:25You awake?
00:02:27Yeah.
00:02:28Hey, you awake?
00:02:30Yeah.
00:02:32I couldn't find the nail clippers in my room.
00:02:34I think I got one in my drawer.
00:02:36Oh, good.
00:02:38You know, Bob's picking me up today.
00:02:40He just bought this disgusting new Porsche.
00:02:42Well, it's not new, really. It's second-hand, but still.
00:02:44Oh, God, I'm so hungry, but...
00:02:46You'll be able to go into shock if it won't.
00:02:48Don't be like that, Michael.
00:02:50I'm a lot friendlier when I'm drunk.
00:02:52Yeah, most alcoholics think that.
00:02:54Farman.
00:02:56Someone's supposed to come to fix the dishwasher today.
00:03:00Good.
00:03:02Finally.
00:03:04Check out the mistress.
00:03:06She's a beauty.
00:03:08Get in there.
00:03:10She's a dirty bitch, but that's the way I like it.
00:03:26It doesn't go in to.
00:03:28I want to sing.
00:03:38It takes a good time.
00:03:40Of course.
00:03:42If the guide through,
00:03:43standing does not only sit so far.
00:03:45We're all good.
00:03:46Ready?
00:03:47The milkman left two bottles.
00:04:13What are you doing here?
00:04:15Is this a bad time?
00:04:17It's early.
00:04:18Really?
00:04:19What time is it?
00:04:22Why didn't you call?
00:04:23And how did you get here anyway?
00:04:25What's the big deal?
00:04:27No big deal.
00:04:28You took a bus, then tube, then bus again.
00:04:32It's not that far, you know.
00:04:35Right.
00:04:41Oh, oh, Laris, this is your new home.
00:04:46This is great.
00:04:47It's, wow.
00:04:49It's amazing.
00:04:52It's not bad, Lara.
00:04:55Not bad at all.
00:04:58Thanks.
00:04:59You look hungry.
00:05:05Well.
00:05:07I came to say happy birthday.
00:05:10It is today, isn't it?
00:05:13Yesterday.
00:05:15Do you want anything?
00:05:17Lishna, what do you have?
00:05:19Coffee, tea.
00:05:21Got anything to eat?
00:05:22I'm starved.
00:05:22No, not really.
00:05:24I haven't been to the shops yet.
00:05:27You're still with Michael?
00:05:29Yes.
00:05:30Where is he?
00:05:31He's gone.
00:05:33Gone?
00:05:34He mean he left you?
00:05:35No.
00:05:36To work.
00:05:38He's gone to work.
00:05:39He's still teaching?
00:05:41He's in advertising.
00:05:43He's doing very well, actually.
00:05:45You look great.
00:06:03Liar.
00:06:04Really?
00:06:05Your face is just...
00:06:07Oh, this?
00:06:08Yeah.
00:06:09I stopped by a boat on the way here.
00:06:11They had this free makeover sheet.
00:06:13You like?
00:06:13Gotta fix my hair though.
00:06:16Look at it.
00:06:16I got the worst hair dress in the city.
00:06:19Looks fine.
00:06:20Yolanda.
00:06:21Is that her name?
00:06:22Hair by Yolanda.
00:06:23She's friendly.
00:06:25Cheap.
00:06:26I won't give her up for the world.
00:06:28I have to wake James.
00:06:30James?
00:06:31My son.
00:06:34Right?
00:06:35Your son.
00:06:37How old is he?
00:06:39Seven.
00:06:43You give the house very tidy.
00:06:46Cleaning lady is coming tomorrow.
00:06:48Cleaning lady.
00:06:51A husband, a son, and a cleaning lady.
00:06:53Stop it.
00:06:56Anyway, I have to take James to school, so...
00:06:59Why didn't you tell me you moved?
00:07:01You should have at least phoned or sent a card.
00:07:03I know.
00:07:06I'm sorry.
00:07:08So.
00:07:09Where's the boy?
00:07:11Can I see him?
00:07:13That was not a good time.
00:07:15Oh, Yolanda.
00:07:16Please.
00:07:17Please.
00:07:18Please.
00:07:19Please.
00:07:20Please.
00:07:21I'll just say hello and go.
00:07:23Okay.
00:07:24Wait here.
00:07:25Time.
00:07:26And no Arabic.
00:07:27I'll just say hello and go.
00:07:57Oh, my God.
00:07:59It's not good.
00:08:00It's hard.
00:08:01I was in the car.
00:08:03Where is this?
00:08:05This is the chief manager.
00:08:07You can see the chief manager and the people.
00:08:10He has a car.
00:08:12You can see him to have a car?
00:08:14No, no, no.
00:08:15Come on.
00:08:16Brian, this is my friend, Lara.
00:08:18How are you, Lara?
00:08:19Brian?
00:08:20Sure, I feel like a bleeding ohio already.
00:08:22Inan's just been telling me everything about you.
00:08:24Just deadly, you know, and she's so excited, thrilled the bits that you're over here in the UK.
00:08:26You know, it's brilliant.
00:08:27You know, but anyway, what am I like?
00:08:29You guys, you just want to catch up and all.
00:08:32I'll stall out to the car park.
00:08:33Would you stop for it?
00:08:34Yeah.
00:08:35Oh.
00:08:40Is this all you brought?
00:08:41Hmm?
00:08:42You've been drinking the whole flight, didn't you?
00:08:45It's a granny.
00:08:46You can smell it.
00:08:47It's a dick.
00:08:54I know you're awake.
00:08:55So stop pretending.
00:08:56Hmm.
00:09:02Who's at the door?
00:09:04A friend.
00:09:08Come on.
00:09:09Get up.
00:09:10You'll be late.
00:09:25How are you?
00:09:26You have a lady.

00:09:42I have a job, speak English, speak English, what took you so long and what's with the lipstick, look at my hands, just look at them, stop biting them, it has nothing to do with your job, you have a great job, yeah you'd probably stick to making cappuccinos till your brain dries out, it's a hot cafe,
00:10:11I hate, it's simply not me, I hate being this, subservient, just found it today, look, overly submissive, docile, dutiful, obedient, person working under authority of another, the English are biggest slave drivers than the Jews, they're just more polite about it, good evening ladies and gentlemen, good evening Mr. Johnson,
00:10:37Well, as you, ah, the, well, this morning the, today we'll be discussing the issue, this contentious issue,
00:10:55did you watch behind your ears, yes, inside and outside, around and about, hmm, you better not lie boy, or potatoes will, sprout,
00:11:16I thought I told you to wait downstairs, I came up to see the boy, what's your name little boy, his name is James, James,
00:11:27Oh James, James, James, James, James, James, Come on, let's go, we're coming, yeah, coming.
00:11:42I can be staying with us.
00:11:52No, honey.
00:11:53She's going home soon.
00:11:55I've just arrived.
00:12:00Did you lose anything?
00:12:03Yes, my mobile phone.
00:12:04I'm not sure where I left it.
00:12:07Crap.
00:12:07Where the hell is my phone?
00:12:12Excuse me.
00:12:19Your mother wants me to go.
00:12:22Are we done yet?
00:12:36Nice car.
00:12:38Yours?
00:12:39Yes, mine.
00:12:41No, Michael's.
00:12:43My husband's got something a little smaller, but it's almost brand new.
00:12:46Your husband?
00:12:48You've seen my husband, haven't you?
00:12:50I didn't know you got married.
00:12:51Of course you didn't know.
00:12:52How could you know?
00:12:53When did you get married?
00:12:55Two years ago, in November.
00:12:57I'm almost sure I have a picture of him.
00:13:01Oh, I'm so disorganized.
00:13:04There.
00:13:05This is Aaron.
00:13:08Aaron?
00:13:09Nice, isn't he?
00:13:11Yeah, nice.
00:13:12Bit wrinkled.
00:13:13The photo, I mean.
00:13:15He's very nice.
00:13:17He's not that nice, Lara.
00:13:18His teeth are a bit yellow.
00:13:20But he's loaded.
00:13:21You got what you wanted.
00:13:23Yes, you do.
00:13:29I really need to find a man, sir.
00:13:31If I'm too old, too ugly.
00:13:33And nobody wants me for my body anymore.
00:13:35Just for my brains.
00:13:37I can just imagine.
00:13:39It's never gonna happen.
00:13:41Why?
00:13:43You're just sexually attuned.
00:13:45Sexually attuned?
00:13:47Nice English, Lara.
00:13:51Yeah, okay.
00:13:59I'm not sexually attuned.
00:14:01Really, I'm not.
00:14:03I'm unhappy, maybe even depressed.
00:14:05For me, sex is what alcohol is for you.
00:14:09A sorry little sedative.
00:14:11I thought English good enough for you, madame.
00:14:17You've given up on love, haven't you?
00:14:19Yeah.
00:14:21No.
00:14:23Maybe not.
00:14:25You got a woman that likes you a lot.
00:14:27Yeah.
00:14:29You got a man.
00:14:31Do you love him?
00:14:33Of course I don't.
00:14:35So?
00:14:37So he's a good guy.
00:14:39Very good guy.
00:14:41British.
00:14:42I mean Italian British.
00:14:43Mm-hmm.
00:14:44And so precise.
00:14:45It can be fixed.
00:14:47Yeah, right.
00:14:49If I get him to do that, he's gonna feel I owe him.
00:14:51And so, no.
00:14:53But if you don't love him, so why bother?
00:14:55Who said I'd love him?
00:14:56You did.
00:14:57I didn't.
00:14:58Yes, you did. You just did.
00:14:59Right.
00:15:00I don't know.
00:15:01I just don't want to end up being married to a boring, mediocre English teacher on a basic salary.
00:15:06He'd be perfect for you though.
00:15:09Thanks.
00:15:10Sorry.
00:15:11I didn't mean it that way.
00:15:12How did you mean it then?
00:15:13I mean that I will never be able to give him what he wants.
00:15:20I need a drink.
00:15:21Well, you have your flask.
00:15:23Have another sip.
00:15:24Fuck off.
00:15:54Treat me like air.
00:15:55But good air.
00:15:56I got to take in all your inner thoughts, all your contemplations about men and life and love and...
00:16:09But I'm never included.
00:16:11Our relationship is nothing to you.
00:16:15You don't give a morning piss about what I feel for you.
00:16:20I hear you.
00:16:23What do you want me to do?
00:16:25I want you to love me and be with me.
00:16:28I don't want to lose you to a man.
00:16:31I doubt very much a man would ever really want me.
00:16:35Again we're talking about you.
00:16:37Sorry.
00:16:38We're talking about me for a change.
00:16:40Sorry.
00:16:41You got everything.
00:16:43I got nothing.
00:16:44I'll die sick and lonely and get buried in a poor Palestinian graveyard.
00:16:48They have Palestinian graveyards in London?
00:16:50They have Palestinian everything in London.
00:16:52Just like Jews.
00:16:53Geez.
00:16:54He's such a whiner.
00:16:55Yeah, yeah.
00:16:57I'm just feeling sorry for myself when there are millions of people who would absolutely love to be me.
00:17:01I live in the most expensive city in the world.
00:17:04Rent is outrageous.
00:17:05Public transport is never cheap.
00:17:06Same goes for food.
00:17:07Definitely for alcohol.
00:17:08And guess what?
00:17:09Those idiots from the British Council are paying for all of it.
00:17:12Voila.
00:17:13Can't I see how lucky I am or would I rather go back to Ramallah?
00:17:17Hmm?
00:17:18Got it?
00:17:19You deserve to have whatever you want.
00:17:22Then how come I can't have you?
00:17:43What?
00:17:44Nothing.
00:17:45What?
00:17:46You were looking at something.
00:17:47No, nothing.
00:17:48Nothing.
00:17:49Nothing.
00:17:50Nothing.
00:17:51Nothing.
00:17:52Nothing.
00:17:53Nothing.
00:17:54Nothing.
00:17:55Nothing.
00:17:56Nothing.
00:18:10Nothing.
00:18:12Is it still far to the boys' school?
00:18:14No.
00:18:26What are you doing?
00:18:30There's more room back here.
00:18:32Of course.
00:18:33Excuse me.
00:18:34Sorry.
00:18:35Ouch.
00:18:36Now, I've managed to save this from your mother's fridge.
00:18:43Take it.
00:18:44Thanks.
00:18:45Thanks.
00:18:46Yeah, you might want something sweet after lunch.
00:18:56Hi.
00:19:10Hi.
00:19:11Fresh blueberries.
00:19:16From the fruit stand downstairs.
00:19:18Thank you, Mr. Johnson.
00:19:20Please, Laura.
00:19:21You've known me long enough.
00:19:22Right.
00:19:23Sorry.
00:19:24Micah.
00:19:25Inham is not here.
00:19:28May I come in?
00:19:30Yeah.
00:19:46Is there something wrong with that?
00:19:48No.
00:19:49Wrong.
00:19:52Don't be upset.
00:19:54She likes you.
00:19:57Really.
00:19:58In fact, she likes you a lot.
00:20:01But what can I do?
00:20:03She has this need for her.
00:20:05Other men?
00:20:07Maybe.
00:20:08Other men.
00:20:09Would you like a drink?
00:20:11Yes.
00:20:12I want my wine.
00:20:13And now, keep some vodka.
00:20:14Under the pillow here.
00:20:21You want to sit?
00:20:28You want to sit?
00:20:33You want to sit?
00:20:35You want to sit?
00:20:36You want to sit?
00:20:37You want to sit?
00:20:38You want to sit?
00:20:40Does she go out every night?
00:20:41Some nights she doesn't even come back.
00:20:56Did she tell you she can't have children?
00:21:06no she can't have children which is no big deal really because she thinks that
00:21:17children are a waste of time anyway she didn't tell me that she did tell you
00:21:24about the other men no yes she did she didn't tell me about you though what
00:21:33about me I saw you two kissing on the bed
00:21:55you know I was wondering Laura why did you tell me what you've just told me about

00:23:23You shouldn't be drinking so much.
00:23:27You're the Muslim.

00:23:33Cheers.
00:24:03I'm sorry.
00:24:12I shouldn't have done that.
00:24:14I'm sorry.
00:24:15I shouldn't have said that, but I did.
00:24:33What followed was perhaps just as much an accidental twist of fate as it was a carefully devised plot.
00:24:41Come on.
00:24:54Don't forget your bag.
00:24:57Hello, Mrs. Johnson.
00:24:58Good morning.

00:25:10Why did you come?
00:25:22It's your birthday.
00:25:23Do you need any money?
00:25:25Now you're insulting me.
00:25:27Then what do you want?
00:25:28I just want to see you, that's all.
00:25:30You don't even come to visit anymore.
00:25:32No.
00:25:33Yes.
00:25:34Yes, what?
00:25:35Yes, I'm sorry.
00:25:37I know.
00:25:37I...
00:25:38I should.
00:25:41Anyway, I have to run back home.
00:25:44Somebody's supposed to come to fix the dishwasher.
00:25:47Oh, the dishwasher man.
00:25:49Yeah.
00:25:50I'll drive you back home.
00:25:52Oh, no.
00:25:53No, no.
00:25:53Please don't.
00:25:54I'll be enough of a burden.
00:25:56Just drop me off near your bus.
00:25:57I'll be fine.
00:26:00There's...
00:26:01One right there.
00:26:13Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.
00:26:16I missed you.
00:26:18That's all.
00:26:19Oh, by the way, I'm pregnant.
00:26:33You're pregnant?
00:26:36From who?
00:26:37What do you mean, from who?
00:26:38My husband, Aaron.
00:26:40What do you think, stupid?
00:26:42I'm a good girl now.
00:26:47Oh, no.
00:26:48I'm really happy for you.
00:26:52Really.
00:26:53I know you are.
00:26:56Thanks.
00:26:58Bye-bye.
00:26:59Bye.
00:27:10What's she thinking now?
00:27:13What does she remember?
00:27:16Do I really want to know?
00:27:18This endless backtracking always takes me back to the same place.

01:17:49Oh, here she is.
01:17:51Hello, Mrs. Johnson.
01:17:53Hi.
01:17:54How are you?
01:17:55I'm good.
01:17:56How are you?
01:17:56I'm good.
01:17:57Good to see you.
01:17:59Okay, well, we did have a bit of an upset with Inam today.
01:18:02She came over to my house again.
01:18:04I thought she might.
01:18:06I'm sorry.
01:18:07I mean, we did try and call you on your mobile, but it was turned off all day.
01:18:10I'd like to see her.
01:18:11Well, she's back now, and she seems perfectly fine.
01:18:16I mean, we do try and keep a close eye on her, but you know what she's like.
01:18:21She's better.
01:18:22Actually, she's a lot better than she was when you brought her here, and she's doing well.
01:18:29She's doing very, very well.
01:18:31She took a dress of the patient today.
01:18:34Oh, by the way.
01:18:35I really love her.
01:18:41I may have ended up living a different life.
01:18:46I may have even liked it.
01:18:49But it doesn't matter anymore.
01:18:52This is my life.
01:18:55I might as well live it.
01:18:58No questions asked.
01:19:11I might as well live it.
01:19:33I might as well live it.
