Now, then, David.

Hello, Mr Bellamy.

Are you meeting someone off the train?

Yeah. Rob Walker.

Oh. And you?

Yeah, I'm meeting this, er, French woman.

Why-vette.

Something-or-other.

I hope I'm not gonna have to shout her name.

Well, you won't have to, will you? You'll recognise her straight away.

Beret, stripy top, garlic in one hand, poodle in the other.

Just hold the sign up, David.

Morning.

- Not a bad day for you? - No.

- Will you be back for lunch? - What's on the menu?

Hotpot.

I wouldn't be at all surprised. See you later.

Ta-ra.

- What a nice man he is. - Mm.

I know this might sound a bit daft, but...

- What do I say to Mr Walker? - You say hello, eh?

Do I not even say, "Sorry about..."?

Look, David, it's been two months

since the funeral.

If Rob wants to talk about Helen, fine.

Otherwise, just... just let it go.

Flippin' Nora.

Everything, but the kitchen sink, eh?

Good to have you back.

WHISTLE BLOWS

David's keeping exotic company.

BELLAMY: She's the advance guard of a party of frogs.

Oscar thought it would be a good idea

to convince the locals to twin

with that village he went on holiday to.

I'll try and walk.

Don't be daft. Come on.

Home.

Better?

ROB: Where are you going?

Well, I thought we'd take the scenic route.

A chance to catch up before we meet up with Miller.

So... how was Dublin?

Interesting.

I didn't stay there long, though. Went on the road.

Stayed in farmhouses, B&Bs.

Did some riding.

Did it rain?

Only all the time.

BOTH LAUGH

SONG: 'Green River' by Alabama

ROB: So, where are you living now, then?

I'm back at my old place.

Heard anything of Debbie?

No, and I don't expect to either.

BANGING

Look out!

TYRES SCREECHING

Get on the radio.

MAN PANTING

OK. All right. Come on.

- All right? You all right? - Yeah, yeah.

Oh, hello, Oscar. Bonjour.

Yvette, bonjour. Comment ca va?

Wonderful to see you again. Welcome to Aidensfield.

- Erm... - Oh, sorry. This is Gina.

- Hello. -Hello, Gina.

Oscar forgot to mention how pretty you are.

That's Yorkshire men for you.

As slow with the compliments as they are with the money.

Follow me. I'll show you to your chambre.

David.

I did wonder if you'd want to come back,

with the memories and that.

Centre of the village. It's where I need to be.

It's how she'd want me to use it.

- What the devil... - Sorry we're late, sarge.

So am I. Where have you been?

- In the river. - Which river?

- Well, we took a detour. - My fault.

This fella had a blow-out and ended up in the river.

Rob went in after him.

If he hadn't, he'd have been a goner.

This is your excuse, is it?

Yes, Sarge.

Sounds contrived enough to be true.

Is he all right?

The ambulance man thought so.

They'll keep him in overnight to make sure.

Do the changes suit you?

Yeah, fine.

It's your house, constable.

You'd best go and get changed.

Sarge.

How is he?

Too soon to tell, sarge.

Seemed glad to be back, though.

This is what he wanted.

Let's hope he's made the right decision, eh?

Mm.

- Morning. - Morning.

Mr Ashton? Hello. I'm Carol Cassidy.

Oh, yes?

The doctor notified me that your wife

discharged herself from hospital today.

- That's right. - She's poorly, I understand.

Yeah, yeah, she's worse than when she went in.

With a brain tumour as aggressive as your wife's,

- that's probably inevitable. -So, what can I do for you?

It's more what I can do for you. Rather, your wife.

- Then that's easy. Nothing. - Oh.

Right.If I had a word with Mrs Ashton...

You're wasting your time. She wants for nothing.

I understand she was still undergoing radiotherapy

when she discharged herself.

She's been having tests and X-rays and visits

from the high-ups for months.

It's been delay and dither.

I know about the tests,

but the specialists were assessing her.

Oh, aye, and we were assessing them.

They say they done their best,

but they're rubbish.

I appreciate you don't want visitors

at a time like this,

but I really would like to see her.

What if I call back at a convenient time?

I'm sorry, love,

but the answer will just be the same.

Now, why don't you go

and spend your time with those as need you.

Just leave us alone.

So Yvette is here ahead of the main party

who arrive in a couple of days' time,

so we should form this committee

to devise a programme of events.

Gina, you'll be in charge of catering,

Bernie, transport,

and I'll take care of the accommodation.

You're well-organised, Oscar. I'm most impressed.

The proof will be in the pudding.

The Yorkshire puddings have never been flat.

Always a first time.

Whatever Gina serves up, you can guarantee

it will be per cent

locally grown, brewed or reared.

That reminds me Peggy Armstrong

has agreed to supply us with some fresh game.

Who asked her to do that?

- I can't remember. - It's out of the question.

- It'll be fresh and local. - Aye, and nicked.

Peggy Armstrong is having nothing to do with this.

Oh, thanks, Rosie. You managed OK?

Yeah, no problem.

I'll get off if you're OK.

Yeah, we're finished. How much do I owe you?

Oh, nothing. My contribution to the party.

- Oh, thanks, Rosie. - See you.Bye.

- Bye, Rosie. - Ta-ra.

Oh, everyone is so kind.

Now, tell me about this Madame Armstrong.

- What do you want to know? - Oh, everything.

To put Oscar in such a mood.

I think they had a passionate affair.

Hmm. No, I don't think so.

Why don't you ask madame herself?

- I'm sure she'll tell you. - Is she here?

Oh, no. They're coming over.

It's France she's come from, not Mars.

Peggy, I'd like you to meet Yvette.

I'm so pleased to meet you.

Moi aussi, madame.

Would you mind looking after our guest?

Yeah, we'll do that, won't we, David?

Ca me fait rien.

You speak a little French.

Well, not really.

David, get our guest a drink.

Oh, we've got some fancy bottles up

on the back shelf.

Oh, I'll have what you have, please.

What, that?

I like to have all local things.

Meet local people. See what they see.

Well, there's nowt much to see in Aidensfield

for the day tripper.

Now, Aidensfield after dark, that's different.

SQUAWKING

Now...I laid the trap somewhere round here.

Yes. Yes, here it is.

- Oh! - Is anything in there?

PEGGY: Yeah. It's a rabbit and it's a big 'un.

MAN: All right, you two. Stay where you are.

♪ And so I'm saying goodbye

♪ Although God knows I don't want to

♪ And so I'm saying goodbye

♪ I just don't know

♪ When it will be

♪ That I see you ♪

Ah.Caught in the act. I just popped over quickly.

Come in.

Sorry I didn't have time to have a word yesterday.

Oh, well, well. Bribes.

Homemade cakes and jam? What have they got to hide?

- Like a tea, coffee? - No, thanks. I can't stop.

I just wanted to say welcome back.

Oh, thanks.

If you need anything, milk, sugar,

try me last cos I'm always the first to have run out.

If Frank ever came ashore to find out

how disorganised I am, he'd call it off.

I'm sure Frank knows exactly what he's doing.

You two named a day yet?

Last time he was on leave we pencilled in one or two days.

Good for you. Where is he now?

- Singapore. - Wow. It's a long way.

You know the theory. Absence makes the heart...

Well, seriously, you know where I am.

- I appreciate it. - OK.

- See you. - Bye.

As expected, Lord Ashfordly will not be pressing charges.

Oh, thank you, sergeant.

He realises that you were an innocent bystander.

Yeah, along with this other innocent bystander.

We've been incarcerated for just going for a walk.

Morning, Oscar.

Hi, Rob. Don't suppose you've seen, erm...

What, in the cells?

Oscar, bonjour.Bonjour.

Are you all right?

Yes, of course, with so many handsome men around me.

Don't you think you're being a bit heavy-handed, sergeant?

I wasn't here last night, Mr Blaketon,

but it seems Madame Lenoir was caught poaching rabbits.

Any fool knows who was to blame for that.

I want a photo of you all.

You're the high spot of my trip.

Hm. I assume she's free to go?

Indeed.

Thank you, sergeant. Au revoir. Merci beaucoup.

Ah, yes, sir?

I'd like to speak to PC Walker. Do you remember?

I'm Les Cooper, the man in the car yesterday.

Just a moment. Rob, Mr Cooper to see you.

Hello, sir. Good to see you up and about.

Thanks to you.

I've come to tell you how grateful I am.

Well, thank you.

I'm not only grateful.

I'm, well...humbled that someone would do that for me.

Well, anyone would have done the same.

Perhaps, you see things differently

when you've been through something like that.

Truth is, my life flashed before me,

and I didn't much like what I saw.

Thanks to you, I've got a second chance.

Is there somewhere we could talk?

Morning, Mr Ashton. I said I'd call again.

- You weren't to bother. - It's my job to bother.

Is it possible to see your wife?

I'm sorry, but she's resting

and does not want to be disturbed.

I can't make you let me see her, Mr Ashton.

Aye, that's right. You can't.

You must have so much to do on the farm.

I'll manage.

It's better than travelling to the hospital all the time.

Is that what this is about? Travelling time?

What if it is?

This has got nowt to do with you!

- Hello. - Morning.

How's the missus?

I don't know. I haven't seen her.

Saw him carry her in.

She didn't look well enough to come out of hospital.

How's it affecting the farm?

Well, nowt gets done.

When he's here, his mind's not on t'job.

-Have they got any family? - A son, Keith.

Went down south. Rock 'n' roll, they reckon.

-Musician? - Yeah.

Dennis didn't much like him going. Wanted him here.

I don't reckon they speak now.

Fact is, deception's been my whole life.

Criminal deception?

You name it.

You haven't been caught?

Just twice.

I've forged and defrauded.

I've romanced and fleeced women.

I thought one was the real thing,

and married her, but then I left her too.

I've run out on hotels

the length and breadth of this country and beyond.

I've been a pro, no two ways about it.

-There you go. -Thanks.

I heard about you at the hospital.

You've been through a rough time.

Lost someone close to you.

Yes.

It's not right, is it?

Her going. Someone like me being saved.

When you dragged me from that car, it was a sign.

I was being given a chance to change.

To make amends.

Right, Les.

CLEARS THROAT

Let's get started, shall we?

There you are!

- What happened to you? - Don't worry about that.

Let's go. We've got things to do.

- What? - Yvette gave me the idea.

We're going to set up a souvenir stall.

You know, selling local produce,

flags and crafty knickknacks.

I'm going to have to leave all that to you.

I thought we were a team. Stockwell and Auntie.

Yeah, but I've been selected for the dancing.

Hang on.Hang on, hang on.

Let me knock the wax out of this ear.

Did you say dancing?

Ha. Aye. It's the plough dancing.

We're putting on a display for our foreign visitors.

Why? Don't you want them to come back?

Thanks, Gina. Bye.

Yes, your bloke left

without paying for his bed and board.

Gina says she's going to tear you off a strip

for saving his life.

So, this is where we'll have the picnic.

Oh, Oscar, it's perfect. But where's the Lord?

With any lucky, he's out.

-Blaketon! - Oh, I'm sorry.

You should have phoned.

We were passing, my Lord. Didn't want to disturb you.

Let me introduce you to Madame Yvette Lenoir.

- Enchante, madame. - C'est un plaisir, monsieur.

Come into the house.

Kind of you, my Lord, but I do think we should press on.

You know, details to check, decisions to make.

Leave Madame Lenoir with me and get on with it.

A tour of the house will be as interesting

as ticking things off your list.

Madame.

Come back in a couple of hours, Blaketon?

J'ai ete a Paris pour la liberation. Oui, oui.

Yeah. Oh, that's smashing.

Put them aside for me and I'll collect them later.

Thank you. Bye.

Well, that's a stroke of luck.

Wholesalers had them flags gathering dust for yonks.

How many have you bought?

Union Jacks and frog flags.

Peggy, there aren't that many people coming!

Well, they're not just for them.

Locals will want a couple of flags for their windows.

I'm not sure all this wine's a very good idea either.

Haven't they got enough wine in France?

Not like these.

Elderberry, gooseberry.

Cauliflower.

I can hear it fizzing.

David, I know you don't like this souvenir stall idea,

but Yvette is very keen on it.

Oh, Yvette.

And I haven't heard her express the same liking

for plough dancing.

Hello, Mr Blaketon. What can I do for you?

Just checking you're aware of the group arriving here

in a couple of days' time.

Oh, aye, yeah. A bunch of Frenchies.

Hands across the water

while that fella with the big hooter

keeps slapping us across the chops.

- What's his name? - General de Gaulle.

- Oh, aye. - Let's not get into that.

I want you to make sure that everything

is spick and span for our guests when they arrive.

Don't you worry.

There'll be sparks flying off Bill's brush.

And after they've arrived, there'll be a do, I expect.

- Oh, aye. - Slap-up job?

We certainly hope so.

Collar and tie? I like to be sure.

I'm sorry, Perkins. It's fully booked.

Oh, when you asked me to take special care,

I just thought, you know...

I'm just asking you to do your job, that's all.

They'll be catching the London train,

changing at York.

- There is a new timetable. - I'm aware of that.

The time of that train hasn't changed, has it?

True. Well, I'd better go and polish my cap badge.

Wouldn't want to let the side down, now, would I?

Yeah.

-Come on. Let me help. - No. No more.

Come on. Just one spoonful.

Eh? Come on.

That's it.

Some more?

All right.

SIGHS

CAR DOOR OPENS

Did I not make it clear?

I brought dressings and antiseptic cream.

What for?

The hospital say your wife

had the beginnings of a bed sore.

I doubt it.

Mr Ashton, I only want to make your wife comfortable.

She does not need your help. She's got me.

Mr Ashton, there might still be

other treatments for her.

She's made her mind up. This is where she wants to be.

Please, Mr Ashton, just five minutes.

Look, we don't want you here!

Doctors, nurses, you're all the same.

You promise what you can't deliver,

and meddle in things you don't understand!

If you or any of your sort turn up here again

then I'll give you some of my medicine!

Now clear off!

Problem?

Sort of.

I wouldn't normally ask for help like this,

but I'm a bit stuck.

You know the Ashtons at Berry Hill Farm?

Jean discharged herself from hospital two days ago.

Her husband is refusing to let me see her.

Right.

I've tried to find a member of the family. There's a son.

-Keith. I used to know him. - Nobody knows where he is.

- Would you find out? -How urgent is this, Carol?

Jean's very poorly,but I can't do anything to help her.

Would you like me to have a word with Dennis?

-No. - Sure?

Absolutely.

-OK, I'll see what I can do. - Thanks, Rob.

Item one.

Peggy Armstrong.

How many of you knew that she was planning

to set up a souvenir stall in the garage?

And you never said a word?

I don't see there's any harm in it, Oscar.

So, you think a heap of old tat

is in keeping with this visit, do you?

Your idea, wasn't it, Yvette?

Yes, I suppose it was.

Well, in the proper hands, Yvette,

it would have been, but not in this case.

She's in the bar. I'll fetch her.

Mrs Armstrong?

Oscar, I've already told her yes.

Well, now you can tell her no.

What's this, then? A kangaroo court?

Peggy, Oscar doesn't think

this souvenir stall of yours is a good idea.

And everybody else?

They think the same.

Hang on a minute. I haven't said anything.

Before you do, I'll show you the merchandise, shall I?

Just take a look at that.

-Now, what's wrong with them? - What's wrong with them?

The colours on the French flag are in the wrong order,

and the Union Jack is upside down.

PEGGY: Well, who's gonna notice that?

Anyone with an ounce of patriotism.

He has got a point, Peggy.

All right, then.

I won't sell the flags.

- Happy now, Oscar? - Oh, not really.

When was the last time Peggy Armstrong kept her word?

I'll have you know my word is my bond!

But if that ain't good enough,

go and get a Bible and we'll do the job proper.

-How was the grub? - Oh, can't complain.

You've had better, though.

Nothing but five star, according to this list.

Since I wasn't paying,

I never settled for anything less.

Right. Well, we made some progress.

We're having trouble tracing some of these offences.

You haven't got my aliases, that's why.

Aliases.

Jim Braylesford, Mike Smith.

Jeff? Come and take this down.

Barry Jackson, Bob Taylor.

One last thing, you did remember

toreserve seats on the train for everyone?

Yes, I left them at the reception desk of the hotel

where they're staying tonight.

That's very good.

Well, I think that's everything,

so shall we adjourn to the other bar?

All done and dusted, Blaketon?

Doing our best, Milord.

I thought I'd pop in

and see if madame Lenoir was free to take a spin.

Gina, didn't you promise to show Yvette

how to make parkin?

Yeah, I can do that later.

- Are you sure? - Of course.

Go on. Go and enjoy yourselves.

Excellent.

He always manages to turn up after the work's been done.

- That's breeding for you. - Huh, huh, huh.

-Hiya. - Hiya.

I tried phoning you.

Sorry. I've been on calls all morning.

I found Keith's London address.

Oh, right.

But it's not that useful. He's abroad.

India. Seems like he'll be away for some months.

-Is there anyone else? - Apparently not.

Oh, well, I'll just have to take my chances.

Dennis Ashton has to leave the farm sometime.

-You're gonna stake it out? - Not exactly, no.

He's due to take some lambs to market tomorrow.

I'm hoping I can nip in while he's gone.

-That's a plan? - I haven't much alternative.

-Good luck. - Thanks.

Have you done yet?

I've got a very important part in this dance.

- I need to practise. -All right.

Oh, Charles, it's a wonderful view.

Isn't it?

Though I'm afraid I've got rather blase about it.

Takes a visitor to remind me

that it's not just a larder for grouse.

CHUCKLING

You are listed to appear

before the Magistrates tomorrow.

A solicitor has been contacted

and will be here shortly.

You'll be prosecuted for the offences

you committed here in Aidensfield,

and the others you've admitted to

will be taken into consideration.

Thank you.

Now, is there anyone we can contact on your behalf?

A family member, perhaps?

No.Er, no.

-Mug of tea? - Thanks.

MR ASHTON: "With the lattice bedroom window standing open

to let in the sweet-smelling air,

the ragged old rooks' nests still dangling

in the elm trees

at the bottom of the front garden.

And now I'm in the garden at the back,beyond the yard

where the empty pigeon house and dog kennel are,

a very preserve of butterflies."

-Jean? -Mm?

Are you awake? Do you want me to go on?

No.

Thought it might settle you.

Jean, love,

I'll have to go and take them lambs

to auction tomorrow,

and I've got them papers to sign at the bank.

I won't go if you don't want me to?

No, no, no, you must go. It's important.

All right, love.

Don't you fret.

Rob Walker, you've taken your time coming to see me.

Gina, Oscar.

Bump into an Irish famine? You look half-starved.

Been weeks on the hoof. Never been fitter.

Nothing wrong with your swimming.

Have you put that conman away yet?

He's in court tomorrow.

Think I'd see them coming by.

Well, he's fooled plenty of others, Gina.

Where's the madame?

Went off with Lord Ashfordly earlier.

We haven't heard from her since.

Oscar's really had his nose pushed out.

Don't be ridiculous.

-Mr Walker. -Wilf.

Can I have a word?

What is it?

Perhaps I shouldn't say,

but I'm worried about what's going on at Berry Hill.

In what way?

Last time Nurse Cassidy came the boss went crackers.

Started waving his shotgun about.

- Threatened her with a g*n? - He weren't pointing it.

-But the message was clear? - You won't say I said owt?

No, you did the right thing, Wilf.

What is it?

I've been thinking about what you said earlier

- about seeing Jean Ashton. -Yeah.

I think I should come with you.

What? Think I need a bodyguard?

Well, just to be sure.

And what would that say

about my relationship with my patients?

This is a special situation.

Who says? You? You've no idea

what's happening in that house.

I know you're dealing with a very angry man.

That's not unusual.

He thinks the medical profession's

let his wife down.

He looks on helplessly while she suffers.

Dennis Ashton isn't the patient here.

That's where you're wrong. They both are.

SIGHS

All right. Why don't I stay on hand?

Absolutely not. Look,Rob, I know you do a good job.

People trust you,

but my patients have got to trust me too.

So thanks, but no thanks.

You worry about your job and I'll worry about mine.

You can get rid of all this junk right now.

PEGGY: You what?

You swore on the Bible

you wouldn't be selling any of these flags.

Hey, hands off the merchandise.

Do you think that I would break a solemn oath?

Of course I'm not selling the flags.

David, show him the notice.

-See? - And how much is the heather?

It's two bob.

Two bob? For something you can pick up for nothing?

It's plus a free flag, Mr Blaketon.

Give me strength.

Hey, it's a bargain, I reckon.

I would have come earlier.

You don't want this sore getting any worse.

Dennis will see to it.

He sees to everything.

It's my job, Jean.

He used to be so hot-tempered.

But he's been so patient.

It's grand being here with him.

It's fine for now,

but I'd like to keep an eye on it.

Will you have a word with Mr Ashton

and make sure I can call again?

Will you do that, Jean?

I warned you.

RINGS

Constable Walker.

It's Wilf from Berry Hill Farm.

Nurse Cassidy's come to see the missus,

but the boss has come back unexpected.

-What's happened, Wilf? - I don't know.

- Everything's gone quiet. - Where's Nurse Cassidy now?

In the house.

Stay well clear. I'm coming over.

-Dennis? - I'm here, love. I'm here.

The nurse was here.

Aye, well, she's gone. I sent her away.

I'll not leave you again, Jean.

I'll be here with you for every moment.

Is Keith coming?

Erm...Yes, yes, love.

He'll be here soon.

Mr Ashton?

It's PC Walker. Open up.

- Are you all right? -I'm fine.

Where is he?

I think he's in there.

She's gone.

SNIFFLES

Mr Cooper,Mr Cooper,

you have repented of your sins somewhat belatedly.

However, because of your guilty plea,

your advanced age and your expression of remorse,

you have been sentenced to two years in prison,

suspended for two years.

This means that you are free to go,

but if you are found guilty of any offence

within the next two years

the jail sentence will be applied immediately.

Thank you, ma'am.

Not a bad result, Lesley.

More than fair.

It must be a weight off your mind.

So, what now?

Good question. New start. Quite a thing.

You said you'd try and track down your family.

Did I? Oh, I'm not sure.

Go on. Give them a call. See where you stand.

Yes. It's been a while, though.

Well, you best get started, then.

Yes.

Which way to the bus station?

Come on. I'm going that way.

How is he?

Shattered.

You'd know all about that.

You're not gonna charge him with anything, are you?

Not unless you make a complaint.

I understand why you didn't want to get me involved,

but next time give me the benefit of the doubt.

Message received.

Jean Ashton came home to die. That's sad enough.

But it nearly ended in someone else getting hurt.

I'm sad I couldn't do any more to help.

We do what we can.

LAUGHING

Hey, hey! Oi! Whose kids are these?

Can't you keep them under control?

Rosie, do me a favour.

We're on.

GINA: Oscar?

Lord Ashfordly wants to know where you want him.

Oh, don't tempt me. He seems to be in his usual position.

Stuck close to Yvette.

WHISTLE

MUSIC: 'La Marseillaise'

What the deuce is going on?

-What did he get? - Two years, suspended.

- Good news all round. - Don't hang your coat up.

- You're not stopping. - Why, what's up?

A man answering to Les Cooper's description

was seen nicking a bus from the bus station.

He was last seen heading for Whitby.

Jeff, come on.

Perkins?

I want an explanation.

Oh, I thought you had all the answers, Mr Blaketon.

-I'm warning you. - What for?

I confirmed the time of the train.

You never asked if it stopped here.

You should have checked the timetable more carefully.

What are we to do?

The train won't stop till it gets to Whitby,

so we'll have to drive there,

pick them up and bring them back.

You've not heard the last of this.

- I don't believe him. - It might not be him.

Oh, it's him, all right.

Probably got them to fill up the t*nk

and give him a map.

♪ Catch us if you can ♪

LENOIR: I'm the one to blame. I did the tickets.

OSCAR: No, no, it's not your fault.

You were in my care. I should have checked.

Here you are. I reckon that's it.

TYRES SCREECHING

Come in, number five. Your time is up.

Sorry.

You had everybody fooled, didn't you?

I nearly fooled myself, but I realised I couldn't...

Couldn't what?

Face up to my family and go straight.

Too much time gone. Too many bridges burnt.

When it comes down to it,

conning's the only thing I know.

I'm better off in prison. That's where I belong.

OSCAR: What's going on here?

Jeff?

-Yeah? - Get him in t'car.

- Isn't that...? - Les Cooper.Yeah.

Oh, what's going on?

Well, he decided to nick this bus

and go on holiday.

For a couple of years at Her Majesty's On Sea.

What were you doing with the bus?

I'll have to come back. Take it to the depot.

-Hm. Via Whitby. - Whitby?

There's a nice turning circle in Whitby,

right outside the railway station.

Right, everyone, here they come.

BAND PLAYS LA MARSEILLAISE

You said you weren't coming.

Yeah, well, I thought about what you said,

about what life throws at us doing the jobs we do.

I'm making the best of things no matter what.

Yeah. C'est la vie.
