Contexto: uma senhora, doente crônica, mora com os dois filhos de 17 anos, que cuidam dela. Agora, acabou de sofrer um infarto e está hospitalizada. Está conversando com um dos filhos:
Mãe: If I knew that I would end up like this I'd have done plenty more loving first. I avoided life, I didn't take the risks I should've done. Now look eh. I´ve got to let you two go. It´s all I've thought since I realised I wasn't gonna peg it.
Filho: Bollocks you stupid old cow.
Mãe: That's good, away, stick 'em up!
Agradeço pela ajuda!
