  Margaret's mother : Hello? Margaret, this is your mum speaking. I'm 'prised I'm not here now, but that's because I'm somewhere else. I say, I'm somewhere else! But I bet you'll both be up here soon, won't you? The pair of you. So, I'll see you then. Hello?

  [beep sounds] 

  Margaret Meldrew : Hello, mum. It's Wednesday at six o'clock. I'm just ringing to say that all being well we'll be up there Sunday afternoon about three, but I'll speak to you soon. Bye-bye.

• Margaret Meldrew : Both been out somewhere?

  Patrick : Uh, yes, just around the hospital, yes. To have a hermit crab surgically removed from my testicles.
