Dead Fred

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Merry, what's wrong?

Shh.

We have to be very quiet.

Why are we whispering, Then?

Is it Fred?

I'll tell you in the car, I promise.

But right now, we have to be very, very quiet.

Shittity, shite.

Doing great, Mum.

Merry, you found your father, didn't you?

What?

We haven't time now, let's just go.

You're not going anywhere!

Open this door, right now, Missy!

Just please let us go!

George, what on earth's going on?

Aunt Becca, thank goodness you're here.

I think she's rabid or something.

You should call someone.

You're outnumbered Meredith.

Open the door.

They're all crazy, surely you can see.

Can't argue with you there.

So you must understand Aunt Becca.

Mother needs the constant care a rest home can give her.

So that's why you sneaked in and took Julie.

I see, and it had nothing to do with

you wanting her out so you could sell the house?

Can you lean back a minute so I can say hello to Julie?

I haven't seen her in months.

Ooh.. Why am I getting out?

I need to give Meredith a driving lesson.

She's about to be 17.

Don't worry Julie, Meredith's remembered

she's got something else to do.

You act like you're her family, but you're not.

You're all crazy, and I won't stop

until I get my mother out of here.

And into a care home full of strangers.

When did you plant all this?

About um um

About oh four hundred years ago, I think.

It's astounding.

These flowers.

They look great.

Look over here, this is my favorite one!

Yeah?

That's called a rose it's pink.

Oh, beautiful! Beautiful.

I like that one

What are those? Those are stunning.

That's, that's, that's sunflower.

Beautiful. Beautiful.

It's like a sunset flower, isn't it?

Yeah, well here's another one, look.

Oh look at that's very dainty.

It's like, it's got arms.

A little person!

Ooh, plan on impressing the sheep?

What?

Getting angry much, these days?

You and Miles fighting?

Oh, there's nothing left to fight about.

How long's our rabid friend been here?

Arrived late yesterday.

She's on Julie duty today.

What, it's that bad?

Yes!

Meredith is quite determined to get Julie

into a home somewhere so she can sell up.

You saw what she pulled this morning!

Let her try that again.

Just let her try!

Ooh, I'll give that one to Fred.

I prefer vegetables to flowers,

at least you can eat vegetables.

Or herbs, some sweet smelling sage!

Julie!

Son of a bitch!

Shit, shit, shit.

Julie!

I don't think it'd be cruel

to put a cow bell on the old girl.

Julie!

We're having rosemary the chicken

for dinner tonight, darling.

I hope you don't get home late, for more reasons than one,

if you get my meaning.

You know how the autumn air makes you frisky!

Julie! Are you down here?

Oh,

There you are.

Give me a heart attack, why don't you?

Come on, let's go get washed for dinner.

I told Fred we were having chicken.

I hope he's not late.

I have a feeling he might be.

Come on.

He's never home anymore.

I know, there you go.

There you go.

Come on.

Mind your step.

OK

Becca!

Julie!

Oh I see you've got some gray coming in.

I told you 40 would be a life-changer, didn't I?

Don't get big-headed Rebecca, you don't look 40.

Thanks, neither do you!

Oh, still a goody two-shoes?

Still a drunken sot?

Hey, look, we're all together, just as we planned!

Let's enjoy it.

Yes ma'am, I love you.

Ugh, Sissy, why didn't you tell us?

I told you she spits.

Yeah, but ehh.

Get over it, and be glad you're not the one

having to empty her pockets, unless you'd like the job!

How's your love life, Sissy?

Here's the story: woman dates a man.

Man has a grown daughter.

Turns out grown daughter was a former student of mine.

Not a fan.

Man dumps woman, the end.

Men are such dicks.

Still having a dry spell?

By choice, by God...

So...

Becca.

Becca, how are Miles and...

Damon?

Well, their law firm's doing very well!

And Miles is slaving over a new hot secretary!

God, he's a shit-heel, isn't he?

George.

Oh come on, Sissy, I've always had a potty mouth,

it's a hard habit to break.

What are you, a nun?

Now I forgot what I was going to say.

My mother always said getting older is shit.

We're not old silly.

Haven't you heard?

30 is meant to be the new 40.

Well, here's to that!

You should have gone with her.

To the bathroom, are you kidding me?

Okay, if she has an accident, you're cleaning it up.

You are amazing, Sissy.

Julie? Julie?

Okay Julie, hand it over.

Let's see what you've got there.

Please don't let it be a turd,

please don't let it be a turd,

anything but a turd, so help me God.

What the f...

It's Rosemary's chick!

Rosemary's chick.

You're confused because we had rosemary chicken for supper.

No, we ate Rosemary, this is her chick!

So when you said "rosemary chicken,"

you meant Rosemary the chicken?

The one you killed!

The one I killed, the one you told me to kill!

No, I was only introducing her to you!

She kept escaping from Jake's place

because she got a crush on my cockerel.

Your cockerel, rooster.

So Rosemary wasn't even your chicken?

We cooked and killed your neighbor's chicken?

This chick belonged to Rosemary and Rosemary belongs,

belonged to Jake your neighbor.

Oh my God.

I've died and gone to the nuthouse.

So this is why you're always down here,

because you're hiding Rosemary's baby!

Yes, yes!

Fred's been taking care of her.

Fred has?

So um, is Fred down here with us right now?

Of course he is.

Right, I think we'd better go upstairs,

and you can bring the chicken back to Jake

and explain what happened to Rosemary.

Rosemary who?

Oh for the love of God.

Did I do something wrong, George, are you cross with me?

No, I know, sweetie.

Bye, Fred.

I'll visit again soon.

Mrs. Haney

Georgeann, but my friends call me George!

Pleased to meet you

Give me the chicken.

I'm afraid we have some rather bad news, Mr.Bruno.

Oh, not that damn fox again.
