[00:05.28]
[00:17.31]	We were sitting in the living room on the sofa, the wrong way round, looking out the window.
[00:21.44]	It was quiet, and then in the car park across the road we saw Elvis - look, there beside the postman's van,
[00:28.24]
[00:29.32]	and he was walking round the postman's van, looking in the open door.
[00:33.91]
[00:34.53]	He looked as if he was thinking about getting in, but then the postman came back, and he swaggered off,
[00:38.97]
[00:40.40]	walked past the window and down the stairs, and then at the bottom of the stairs right by the caretaker's office,
[00:45.91]	he started licking the pavement.
[00:46.52]
[00:49.52]	Every night now since we moved in that new house there's this noise outside the door at just about half seven or eight o' clock every night.
[00:58.65]	And if we go and look outside the door, Elvis'll be standing there waiting to be let in.
[01:03.79]
[01:06.10]	And then he wanders into the living room, maybe sits down on one of the chairs or even lies down on the floor.
[01:10.92]
[01:11.98]	He doesn't say much, he just stays there for an hour or two, watching the TV.
[01:16.05]
[01:16.98]	We talk to him a bit, and then around ten o' clock, he'll go away again, and not come back until the next night.
[01:23.62]
[01:30.18]	There's a lot of lanes and stuff around here, around the house - although it's right in the middle of the city
[01:35.50]	it seems quite like the country, it's dead hidden - safe I suppose, made for night living.
[01:40.56]
[01:42.25]	There's a lot of squirrels and birds, and Stuart says he's seen about nine foxes there
[01:49.06]
[01:50.25]	when he's jumped over the fence on his way to Prior's Road.
[01:52.69]
[01:54.75]	Sometimes you can go out walking, and when you've been out for a wee while even you don't know where you are anymore,
[01:59.44]	so it would be pretty hard for anyone else to find you.
[02:02.63]
[02:03.58]	I suppose that's why he spends so much time there, that's why he's come to live there, or maybe it's just the squirrels.
[02:10.27]	I read about somewhere that he likes squirrels quite a lot.
[02:13.97]
[02:16.85]	There's these two videos that we got for wedding presents - called the e-files
[02:20.66]	e-files one and e-files two about how Elvis is supposed to be still alive.
[02:23.68]
[02:27.24]	And one time when he came round we were watching one of those, but he didn't say anything he just sat on the armchair.
[02:32.07]	He was playing with his collar a bit, and we watched it right through and then when it finished
[02:36.82]	he just got up and walked off into the mist and didn't say anything.
[02:40.01]
[02:43.14]	The first few times he came round I didn't speak to him at all, I wasn't really sure what to say.
[02:49.51]
[02:50.20]	And Karen spoke to him quite a lot - she seemed to know what to do more than I do.
[02:54.45]	He had quite a strange manner though, he'd go into your stuff and look through it,
[02:58.70]
[02:59.45]	then he'd maybe pick something up and play with it for a wee while, but he'd never make any comment about any of it.
[03:04.92]	Seemed pretty rude to me.
[03:06.42]
[03:07.16]	I just watched whatever Karen did, and listened to how she talked to him and then,
[03:11.41]	after a while I started to copy that, and tell him a few things,
[03:15.23]
[03:16.35]	not really bothered about whether he responded or said anything back or not.
[03:20.36]
[03:22.29]	I think the first time I spoke to him we were sitting up on the mezzanine and I said that I would tell him about me and wee Karen,
[03:28.67]	and how it was that we'd come to be living there.
[03:31.87]	I thought he probably liked the fact that we were living there because he came round so much,
[03:35.77]	so I thought he might want to know how it was that it came about.
[03:38.43]
[03:40.25]	We did it all over backwards, I told him.
[03:42.18]
[03:42.75]	First of all we got to know each other, and then a while after that we met,
[03:46.87]
[03:47.50]	and when we'd known each other for about seven years we decided to have an anniversary,
[03:50.64]
[03:52.33]	and that went quite well, so after the anniversary we had a honeymoon, and that went well too,
[03:57.83]
[03:59.10]	so after that we decided that we would get married.
[04:01.11]
[04:02.29]	That's why we're living there now. I used to think my dad was Elvis, but I haven't told him that yet.
[04:12.79]	I haven't told my dad either...

[00:02.40]
[00:03.59]
[00:17.31]	那时我们正坐在客厅的沙发上，整个气氛怪怪的，大家正看着窗外。
[00:21.44]	当时很安静，在马路对面的停车场里，我们看见了Elvis——看，他就在邮递员的车旁。
[00:29.32]	他在邮递员的车旁徘徊，眼睛直勾勾地盯着那扇开着的车门
[00:34.53]	他看上去就好像他打算上车，可是没过多久邮递员就回来了，他只好默默走开。
[00:40.40]	他经过车窗，走下台阶，一直走到台阶底下的管理员办公室旁，
[00:45.91]	然后他开始舔人行道。
[00:49.52]	自从我们搬进这座房子，每天晚上七八点左右我都能听到这种声音，
[00:58.65]	如果我们朝门外看去，Elvis就会站在那，等着我们让他进来。
[01:06.10]	他会缓缓走进客厅，可能坐到某张椅子上，甚至直接躺到地板上。
[01:11.98]	他通常话不多，只是呆在那看一两个小时电视。
[01:16.98]	我们会对他说上许多话，到了十点左右，他就会离开，直到第二天晚上他才会再次来到这里。
[01:30.18]	这附近羊肠小道交错纵横，房子周围也有许多有着浓厚乡土风格的东西——尽管这里是市中心。
[01:35.50]	这里看着实在太像乡下了，它完全被藏了起来，我想这对于夜间出行是安全的。
[01:42.25]	这里有许多松鼠和小鸟。Stuart说，就在他翻过栅栏去Prior家的路上，
[01:50.25]	他已经目击到九只松鼠了。
[01:54.75]	有时你可以外出散步，可只消走那么一小会儿，你就会迷路。
[01:59.44]	所以别人要在这找到你十分困难。
[02:03.58]	我想这就是Elvis总呆在这儿并且来在这儿生活的原因，或者他只是为了那些松鼠。
[02:10.27]	我曾在某处读到，他非常喜欢松鼠。
[02:16.85]	我们为婚礼准备了两个视频，我们称这些视频为电子文件，
[02:20.66]	这两个电子文件说的都是Elvis应该还活着。
[02:27.24]	有次他来时我们正在看其中的一个，但是他一句话也没说，只是坐到了椅子上。
[02:32.07]	他一直在玩弄他的衣领，我们全都看在眼里。视频一结束，
[02:36.82]	他便起身离开，一头钻进迷雾里。他仍然一句话也没有说。
[02:43.14]	他刚来的那段时间，我没有和他说过话，因为我并不知道该说什么。
[02:50.20]	Karen倒是经常与他交谈——她似乎比我更清楚该怎么做。
[02:54.45]	他的行为也奇怪得很，他会翻看你的东西。
[02:59.45]	接着他或许会拿起其中的一个，玩弄一小会儿，不过他从来不会对任何一样东西品头论足。
[03:04.92]	但对我来说，这样已经够没礼貌了。
[03:07.16]	我悄悄观察着Karen的所作所为，听她到底是如何与他交谈的。
[03:11.41]	没多久我便学会了Karen那一套，开始和他说一些事情，
[03:16.35]	事实上我一点不在乎他是否回应我。
[03:22.29]	我和他第一次说话的时候，我们坐在阁楼里，当时我说我会告诉他一些关于我和Karen的事情，
[03:28.67]	还有我们之前是怎么来到这里并且安顿下来的。
[03:31.87]	我想他可能是喜欢像我们这样居住在这里，因为他总是来这里。
[03:35.77]	因此，我觉得他应该会对这些事情感兴趣。
[03:40.25]	我告诉他，一切都是倒着来的。
[03:42.75]	我们在相遇之前就已相识。
[03:47.50]	我们相识第七年时，决定举办一个周年庆典。
[03:52.33]	庆典举办得十分顺利，因此在那之后我们有一段蜜月旅行，那段旅行也十分愉快。
[03:59.10]	因此在那之后我们决定结婚。
[04:02.29]	这就是我们住在这里的原因。我曾觉得Elvis是我的父亲，但我还没有把这告诉他。
[04:12.79]	我也还没有把这告诉我父亲…
