An elderly woman has no lover, no children, and no house of her own. She relies on drinking and smoking every day to forget the unhappiness in life. The only thing she has is a good friend who has a happy family. Looking at the happy smiles on their faces, I couldn't tell the sadness in my heart. I really want to have a car to set myself free. When the car breaks down, when Joe finds a girlfriend, she almost collapses, but she can't change anything, she can only endure it in silence. The last shot of the film stayed on her for a long time, and the sad look on her face made people feel full of emotion.

Tom: I seem to remember you got banned from a number of pubs in Hull for shouting about nothing when you were a young person.
Ken: [retelling the event] "Ken, we like you. You're a good bloke, you're good on the darts, but if you talk about politics again, you're barred!".
[both burst into laughter]

Mary: But he wasn't a bad person. He loved me.
Tom: Sounds to me that he was a duplicitous shit.
