We Live in Time

Good morning, ladies.

Hello.

Hello!

Thank you.

Babe.

I need a second opinion.

Okay.

What is it?

Um, it's a Douglas fir parfait.

Oh.

- Darling, what time is it? - Please. Please can you just try it?

Mmm.

Okay.

So no gush or trickle or fluid

or unusual amount of dampness in your underwear?

- Mm-mmm. - Mucus plug?

Who even are you?

Um, okay.

Fluids?

Didn't you just ask me that question?

- No, to drink. Have you... - No, nothing.

Jesus.

Make sure you keep drinking.

Okay.

So as and when you, um... you have any...

Yeah, you'll be the first to know.

Good to go on that.

Just a little more.

- Table five. - Yes, Chef.

Sauce?

Right, that's ready for service.

Don't look so terrified, Chef.

- That's fucking majestic. - Thank you, Chef.

Chef?

Do you need anything?

No, I'm fine. I'm fine. Leave me alone. Go back to your station.

So what happens now?

I'm going to recommend starting with a course of chemotherapy.

Why not just remove it?

Sorry, I mean, why... why can't we just operate?

- Honestly? - Yeah.

It's too big.

The first thing we have to do is shrink it.

Slow it down.

Once we achieve that, then we can operate.

And then... And then what?

Once you recover from surgery,

you'll need to complete another course of chemotherapy.

We really don't want to be leaving anything behind here.

Hmm.

Given this is a reoccurrence,

we need an aggressive treatment plan.

Okay.

So...

Just to check that I...

- It would go: a course of chemotherapy... - Mmm.

followed by surgery,

followed by another, hopefully final course of chemotherapy?

- Correct. - Okay, great.

And what about work?

What about work?

Well, how much time off, do you think, realistically, we should be considering?

What do you think?

Well, given the physical nature of your profession,

honestly, if you and your colleagues can find a workable solution,

I would advocate stepping back.

Maybe it's time to finally get a dog.

I read somewhere that pets, dogs, are really good for children,

helping them to cope with, like, big life stuff.

Hmm.

Because once they've gone through the death of a pet,

their ability to handle all the other terrible shit goes up.

So... So you think we should procure a dog

in order to end its life prematurely as a way of...

I'm obviously not suggesting we kill a dog.

Maybe just a really old one.

What...

What would you say if I said to you...

um, I'm not sure

I know how to go through all of that all over again?

Um...

'Cause let's... let's just say...

Let's just say it goes to plan and...

in whatever it is, like, six to eight months...

Mm-hmm.

I receive the all clear, and it's great,

and all of a sudden, it feels, like, great.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

That'd be great. Agreed. Yeah.

But what happens if it doesn't?

All of a sudden you're in this weird position

where instead of making the most out of those...

six, seven, eight, maybe nine months,

you're gonna realize that all you did was go bald and puke your guts out.

Mm-hmm.

Okay. Yeah.

So you're saying that, in that scenario, for you it would be...

uh, more about quality than quantity?

I'm saying I'm not particularly interested

in a treatment plan that accidentally wastes our time.

I'm saying, in that particular scenario, I'd much rather we...

we have six fucking amazing, fantastic, proactive months...

than 12 really, really shitty, passive ones.

I'm not saying I don't want to do the treatment.

I'm just saying...

I want it to be the right choice.

Knock, knock.

- Breakfast. You got time? - Yeah.

- Kumquats or eggs? - Mmm.

You tell me.

Then dealer's choice it is.

- Nice threads, by the way. - Oh.

Thanks, Dad.

Hello, my name is Tobias Durand.

And I'm part of the Weetabix IT team,

fulfilling the role of Master Data Steward.

Fabulous.

If you could just go ahead and tell me what you had for breakfast this morning.

Honeyed kumquats on toast.

Followed by a bowl of Weetabix.

Okey dokey.

I think the thing that I enjoy most about working here at Weetabix

is the feeling of family.

Despite the fact that we're all of us part of a very large, global brand,

there's...

there's still a real family feeling.

Ugh.

Okay.

Okay.

Divorce.

Patient number 14.

They needed the bed back.

What's happened to my underwear?

Oh, I literally have no idea.

This, um... This was all you...

all you had on you.

The Chocolate Orange was pronounced dead at the scene.

Uh... Um...

I'm Almut, by the way.

Almut?

Almut.

Tobias.

So sorry, but do we know each other?

Oh.

Yeah... No. Um...

Sorry. I...

I... I ran you over.

Oh.

Patient number 17.

Sorry.

It's all right.

Sorry. The company also own...

Weetos, Alpen, Ready Brek. But, yeah.

Wow.

You must be really regular.

Ow, ow.

Um, how... how about yourself?

I'm a chef/restaurant owner.

Oh.

Uh, what kind of cuisine do you, uh...

do?

Uh, modern European takes on classic Alpine dishes.

So, basically, Anglo-Bavarian.

Well, that's the plan, anyway.

Supposed to open in a few weeks.

How's it going?

Uh...

Oh.

Oh, no.

No, it's going fine.

It's gonna be great.

You should come.

No, honestly, I feel like that's the least I could do.

Oh.

And your wife too.

- Darling? - Yeah?

Yeah.

There is something that your daddy and I...

There's something that Mummy and me want to...

We want to talk to you about.

Yeah. Something a little... a little bit important, actually.

- It's a bit serious, though. - Yeah.

A bit serious and a bit grown-up.

Yeah. A bit serious, a bit grown-up, a bit important.

Yeah.

So Mummy didn't realize it, but Mummy's...
