Glasgow

R. D Laing's Glasgow (1975)

Dr. R. D. Laing :

Some terrible things

happen in The Name of Love.

Angie :

Well *I* love you Ronnie.

....Do you love me?

Dr. R. D. Laing :

....Love's a *terrible* 

burden to inflict on someone.

Angie :

What's the matter?

Dr. R. D. Laing :

You know Syd's Mother died

'cause she loved him so much?

-- I don't think My Mother

would've died to Save Me...

She didn't even want anyone

to know she was pregnant --

Maybe she didn't want me...

Certainly don't remember

her ever kissing me, or 

holding me or puttin'

her arms around me.

Our House was not

A Place of Love.

Angie :

...where was Your Dad?

Dr. R. D. Laing :

Doctors said it was 'overwork',

nowadays they'd call it

a Nervous Breakdown.

Angie :

So You were alone

with Your Mother..?

Dr. R. D. Laing :

I've been holding one

hand or another ever since.

[Father breathing rapidly]

Dr. R. D. Laing :

I've spent My Life

Listening to people

that no one else

gives A Fuck about --

Angie :

You sound angry.

Dr. R. D. Laing :

I'm not angry, 

I'm just tired, 

I just need sleep...

I need to go away to

Glasgow to see Suzie;

She's still under 

The Weather.

Angie :

I'll come with you.

Dr. R. D. Laing :

...Nah, I don't think that's 

a good idea, she's 

really not herself --

Angie :

Please.

Dr. R. D. Laing :

Oh, for fuck's sake,

it's not a family outin';

My Daughter's ill.

She just needs to spend

a bit of time with me.

Angie : 

.....I didn't *tell*

You to LEAVE them --
