Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)

Jodhi May: Evelyn Adams

Quotes 

• Evelyn Adams : I'm not happy.

  Adult Joe Scot : Your happiness doesn't interest me. Mine does.

• Evelyn Adams : I always wonder what old people looked like when they were young. It just makes me sad. Cos it's all gone, and you think, "How cruel." I suppose if you really concentrated... you might be able to imagine the old people you know as young. But it's really hard. Cos all I can see is that they're old, ill, ugly... And their life's over. When you watch an old person sleeping... especially if they're very old... you think, "Will they ever wake up again?" Then they wake up very suddenly. One second, they're sleeping and lifeless. Next second, they're turning on the telly for the news. "Have I missed the news? Have I missed the news?" When does a person stop keeping up?
