00:00...
00:16Good price, pricey.
00:18More and more trouble, I'm a married man.
00:24Mmm
00:33Hmm
00:40What are you doing yoga?
00:45It's supposed to make you relax
00:47Will you please stop it? You'll do yourself an injury. I'll talk to yesterday. I might be trying out some new positions
00:54I
00:56Wasn't quite sure what you meant
01:00What's wrong nothing
01:04I've just been worried about my last job. I
01:07Missed that fire engine. I know you always missed it. That's why they sacked you
01:14What's wrong
01:17Nothing you haven't damaged yourself have you
01:22No, it's just that I haven't felt up to it lately
01:27Well, when do you think you will then? I don't know. I've had a lot of worry Betty
01:32It's bound to affect our relationship
01:36To have any kind of relationship if I'm in bed and you're on the floor. Oh
01:42No, I've been a bad husband. Oh
01:46No, you haven't Frank. I'm a bad son-in-law
01:50Your mother's never liked me. Oh
01:53But she will our marriage was a great shock to her. You know, she wanted me to marry somebody else
02:01Who well, no one in particular just somebody
02:07That's nice, isn't it?
02:10I'll get very depressed. I've been going through my whole life
02:14I'm a failure Betty. You are not a failure Frank, and you mustn't go on thinking like that. You'll make yourself ill
02:23Why don't you go and see someone about it?
02:26someone who can
02:28understand your problems Oh
02:37Well
02:39Well
02:42Don't you even know where you were born?
02:45Well, your mother must have told you
02:47She might have mentioned it
02:51But we talked to so many things
02:53Mr. Spencer, you really must try to answer my questions. Now. That's the whole point of your visit here
02:58Didn't your doctor tell you anything? Well, he seemed a little confused when I went to his surgery
03:03My wife told me to go and see him and when he saw me didn't know what to do
03:08So he sent me to you well, of course, he wouldn't know what to do
03:11He's not qualified to deal with a situation like this. Now. I am I'm an expert. I know what's wrong with people like you
03:18I'm a failure
03:20No, you're not a failure
03:22Mr. Spencer, I know that you're not a failure and it's my job to convince you now. That's why you're here
03:30Now you must have faith in me
03:34I'm going to probe into the corners of your mind and dig out all the little fears and anxieties
03:45What exactly was your relationship with your mother I
03:49I
04:01Was her son
04:08No, I know you were her son, but I was thinking more of
04:13well, for example
04:16Did she dominate you?
04:18I
04:20Well, did she or didn't she I don't quite understand what you're getting at I should have thought that was a perfectly straightforward question
04:27Did she dominate you?
04:30Dominate mr. Spencer it means to control to command to tyrannize Hector bully shout at tower above I
04:42Think I'll try the word association test again. I might have a breakthrough
04:48Do you want me to lie down again? No, thank you. I've already fallen asleep twice
04:53But when I came in you told me to try and relax relax. Yes, I didn't want you to doze off completely
04:59Well, I was tired
05:01I've been up all night worrying about this. I'm tired, too
05:04I have a great deal of work to do and a lot of people to see and since you came you haven't given me the
05:09slightest cooperation
05:11You
05:14Been here exactly half an hour
05:17Half that time you've spent asleep and even when you're awake, you haven't answered a single question
05:22You won't tell me where you were born
05:24You don't want to talk about your childhood
05:26You can't or won't mention a single thing about your mother and your father seems to have disappeared completely
05:32Mr. Spencer, what is the matter with you? I told you I'm a failure. No, you're not a failure
05:40You only think you are. Now, this is the whole root of your problem
05:46Why do you have such a low opinion of yourself?
05:49People just don't seem to like me. Well, of course they like you. I'm sure that you have lots of friends
05:57When you when I heard you were coming to see me, I had a few words with a mutual friend of ours and father O'Hara
06:03I
06:04Wanted to background information on your church activities
06:10Father O'Hara your parish priest
06:17He doesn't like me, well, of course he likes you it's his job to like you he likes everybody I
06:26Can't even go to confession anymore. I've been blacklisted
06:33Well, yes, he does mention that there were some some incidents but he didn't tell you not to go anymore
06:39He just suggested that you should ration yourself a bit
06:43Well, if apparently it was unfair on the others
06:45You're practically living in that box
06:48Did you have to take your sandwiches?
06:51Why did he stop me getting a job then? He stopped you getting
06:56What job? I wanted to be a priest
07:00Priest hmm a priest
07:04Why I've heard there was a shortage
07:06And
07:09It was December, you know the Christmas season
07:13They always have a rush on. I
07:16Thought they could do with every man they could get
07:18Mr. Spencer, you don't just become a priest. You've had no religious training whatsoever. I've been in a monastery
07:25Oh, really? Oh father. I hardly didn't tell me that. Yeah, were you a novice?
07:31No, I was homeless
07:34Is
07:35That the only reason they took you in I didn't have anywhere else to go
07:40And they said they'd put me up for a month or so
07:43And then I had a bit of bother with a chapel roof
07:46What did you have to do with that? I fell through it
07:51See I had the room above and when I jumped out the bedroom window you jumped out of the window. Mm-hmm. Why?
07:58This monk came in with a big bell
08:03It was four o'clock in the morning, I thought the place was on fire I
08:09Know I'd asked for a call for an early service, but I didn't think it was gonna be that early
08:16It's only four o'clock I've only just gone to bed I
08:20See
08:22Well, what about your Sunday school activities? Hmm? I was in a nativity play. Yes, I
08:29played Jesus
08:32Made a great impression on me
08:35Most probably affected my whole life
08:38Mr. Spencer, you were only three weeks old at the time
08:44You don't forget things like that
08:48That's why I've always kept myself pure and chaste
08:53So it would hold in good stead for me when I had the medical
08:58Medical being a priest
09:02Mr. Spencer, don't you think you're aiming a little too high? I mean, why can't you be more content after all?
09:08St. Peter was only a fisherman
09:10But he did other things as well, didn't he?
09:13That yet. Oh, yeah, I've never had a chance
09:17Well, why can't you be more positive?
09:20Think of your achievements
09:31I haven't got any
09:34Now I've never had any encouragement you need encouragement. Well, what about your mother now? Surely she
09:41Pushed you on
09:43She entered me for a baby show once. Oh, really? Did you win? I was disqualified
09:51Why I broke the spring on the pram she had to exhibit me in the cat's box
10:02I see
10:05Well, you've a wife now haven't you now meeting her for the first time must have meant a great change in your life
10:12Well, tell me about that
10:15There's been a lot of trouble there as well
10:26Lady bird stop stop
10:31I
11:01I
11:14Had a little accident in the pond
11:16I'll help you find your horse
11:19Can you get up behind me? Oh, thank you very much. I'm not putting you to any trouble. Am I? Oh, no
11:24No, it's no trouble at all
11:27She won't bite me. Will she
11:31Oh

11:54You've had quite a hectic day, haven't you? I don't see me really get on with horses
12:01darts, really
12:03What did you come here for then? I live with my aunt and she thought the fresh air would do me good
12:15Well, I joined because I thought I might make some new friends
12:19I've been here three times and you're the only person that's talked to me so far. That's nice to talk, isn't it?
12:27Do you think I'll get a refund
12:30Well, not if we can't find your horse
12:34Look maybe you should let me off here. I don't want to get you into any trouble. Oh, no. No, I'd rather stay with you
12:42You can tell me all about your darts. Oh
12:45I'll do other things as well

13:00I'll play bowls as well
13:04When I said I went bowling I'm in on the green I haven't done this before
13:14Try and knock down as many of those pins as possible
13:18Put those two fingers in there

13:22Now give it a good swing
13:24Well expect I'll soon get the hang of it
13:29Oh
13:31Oh
13:58Thank you very much for walking me home
14:02I didn't like to leave you you were so shaken up. Mm-hmm. Oh
14:08Would you like to come in for a cup of tea? Oh, I wouldn't mind
14:15Don't make too much noise because I'm living with my auntie see she wouldn't like me bringing anyone home. Oh
14:22I haven't got a key. It's in the door on the end of a string
14:25She won't let me have one of me own
14:27Case I might lose it
14:29That's silly no, no, that's what I was said
14:34Don't you find it? Mm-hmm. I've got it. What's the matter then?
14:40Got my hand stuck
14:45Can you grab hold
14:59Oh

15:23Oh
15:25You should be in bed, it's only half past nine it won't hurt me to be late just for one
15:30I would not take you in if I don't know that you're going to go out every night picking up women
15:34I've not been we only went for a walk
15:37Frank wanted to show me his mother's old house
15:41They pulled it down
15:42You can still see the bricks though
15:45Grass and part of the air raid shelter still standing, isn't it Frank? That was the living room
15:53About his mother. She was ashamed of him, you know
15:56She was not the education people call shoes to hide him in a cupboard underneath the stairs
16:01That's never went to school until he was 10 years old
16:04I was there when he did all the others stayed away. I did not and it's no good you
16:10yourself
16:14You birdie dolls are all the same
16:17And you needn't think he's got any money either because he hasn't that's not true. I do have a bit
16:21I've got some it doesn't matter Frank. I'd still like you even if you didn't have anything
16:29Would you I've got your hot milk by your teddy bear
16:35Teddy bear it's just decoration
16:40Are you coming in or do I have to come down? Oh, I'm just coming
16:45Thank
16:50You for a nice evening we had a lovely time didn't we Frank?
16:55I'm sorry. You couldn't see my mum's house, but it gave you a good idea seeing the site
17:00Oh, I'm sure it was a lovely place Frank
17:05It was
17:07Well, good night then
17:10Good night, then
17:14Oh
17:21Yes, thank you, I know where the light is
17:31Yes, well I can see it could have been rather difficult for you
17:34But surely when you explain the situation to your aunt she knew what to do. Hmm. Yes
17:40She threw me out
17:42Some reason I just keep on upsetting people you do not upset people you only think you do
17:49I upset them make them angry. You do not make them angry. I've just told you that I antagonize people
17:55You do not antagonize people
18:00I know what I'm talking about. I always antagonize
18:12You
18:13You do not antagonize people
18:16You only think you do
18:18Now repeat this after me. I do not antagonize people go I do not antagonize
18:26people good
18:28But I do
18:32I told you people don't like me people do like you
18:38Your wife likes you your aunt likes you father Ohara likes you I I like you
18:47Then there's your wife's parents
18:50Mmm, I've always had a bit of worry about her mother. I've had constant harassments there
18:55I'm sure she's very fond of you. Perhaps. She's a woman who
18:59Hides her feelings. I wouldn't say that now
19:02Surely when she found out that you wanted to marry her daughter. She must have shown some emotion. Yeah, she got very emotional
19:10About gaining a son-in-law
19:12Now about losing a gas cooker
19:15What does a gas cooker got to do with you marrying her daughter
19:19Nothing at all. Then why mention it?
19:21Well, it wasn't working at the time and Betty rang up for the man to come and fix it and he hadn't come and she
19:26Was very worried. No mother's got an awful temper. I
19:29Think that's why her husband joined the Navy
19:33He hadn't been home for six months and he only went on a 10-day cruise
19:40Plus she just started a spring cleaning. I don't think I didn't call at a very inopportune moment
19:52Mrs. Fisher yes
19:54Mr. Spencer, yes
19:56Your daughter suggested that I should call. Oh good. She did give you the message then do come in
20:02I was beginning to wonder if she'd forgotten
20:06I'm sorry. I haven't called before you certainly took your time. I've been putting it off. It went light
20:19She said you'd had a bit of trouble with it. I was worried what you might think when you first saw me
20:25Look I'm only too delighted. You've come at all. Can you fix it before lunch?
20:34Haven't you brought any tools?
20:36No
20:38I'll go get some. Oh, no. No for heaven's sake. Don't let's waste any more time
20:48Do you think I ought to we won't mind he hasn't used them for years
20:54No, I mean
20:56I've heard a rattle. I think there might be something loose
21:07Well, this was very loose
21:12The others all right not that one
21:16I
21:20Was afraid of a gas leak, I can't see a thing. Have you got a match?
21:30My mother was always afraid of the gas because of her leg you see
21:36Yes Frank she used to say I we never have an explosion because I never better run away
21:46Oh
21:49That's a big one
21:52Thank
21:54Frank Spencer
21:56You're not little Frank. Are you Jessica Spencer's boy?
22:01You knew my mother
22:03Everyone knew your mother
22:05She had many friends
22:16I
22:21Don't think they remember me seven three years since I got the sack
22:28Aren't you the gas man then
22:31No
22:33Good grief, did you think I was?
22:36I
22:46Came on a personal matter
22:54Would you let me marry your daughter Betty
22:56Betty you
22:58Marry Betty. Mm-hmm. You can't marry Betty. She's got someone else
23:04He's a big man ever so big big and rich and if you're any minute she's been going out with him for weeks
23:13That's me
23:20I'm her fiancee you
23:27You there's someone at the door yeah
23:34This is fish at gas company
23:40Spencer I never thought I'd see you again. Mr. Hargraves. Oh my god
23:47Do you think you can do anything with it?
23:52As he be yes, right I'll arrange to have your gas turned off right away
23:58And when you get a new cooker, they might allow you a quid on the old one
24:03Well, if he's been you'll be lucky to get that
24:09Frank Spencer
24:15Mrs. Fisher
24:17Could you tell me where your what's-his-name is?
24:21It's the cold
24:23And the smell of the gas
24:25And meeting strangers gets me top of the stairs the door opposite. Thank you
24:33Oh
24:35Let's see, oh my poor little Betsy, what have you done?
24:41Soapy bodies
24:46As Frank been it going now
24:51Yes up in the bathroom, oh
24:53I think it must be the weather and he does get very nervous, but you mustn't worry about him
25:03Mom what's the matter?
25:05Do you know who that is? Yes, it's Frank. That's Jessica Spencer's son
25:12The Jessica Spencer. Oh, you must have heard about her. Everybody's heard about

25:23Nobody don't love the Spencers they just keep out of their way
25:28Mom, you'll grow to like him. Really you will
25:33What's his mother got to do with it?
25:35The Spencers were the same, it's in the blood
25:37Well that side of the family was the worst of all
26:03Oh
26:11My son-in-law
26:14Over my dead body
26:17So you see she's never really liked me
26:22Mr. Spencer you were right and I was wrong you are a failure
26:28I
26:31Told you didn't I I
26:34Was right all the time and I was wrong
26:38For the first time in my career I failed
26:43No, you didn't you mustn't think like that don't you understand I'm a failure you're not I'm the failure
26:50We decided on that was unanimous. I'm the failure. You're the expert
26:55How can I be expert if I'm wrong but that proves you're right, don't you see
27:00Think about it. No, I don't want to think about it. Good God. How can I be right if I'm wrong?
27:05Yes, but if you don't know you're wrong, you can't be right
27:08It's only when you thought that you were right that you were wrong. And now that you know, you're wrong. You're right
27:13Oh
27:23To put it another way no
27:26No, no, I just want you to go just leave me alone
27:32Yes, well, thank you very much you've taken a great weight off my shoulders
27:40Am I the first failure that you've met I
27:47Don't suppose you offer make people like me dear. Mr. Spencer. I have never met anybody like
27:55It's not often that anyone does really know what they really are is there
27:59If I have any more problems, I'll know where to come won't I?
28:15I'm a failure. Oh, really? Hmm. He just told me I'm just going out to tell the wife
28:26I'm a failure
28:29I
28:39Am a real failure you soon will be if you don't shift yourself
28:59You
29:29I told you
