02:11I'm sorry to hear it, Mr Davies.
02:15Just like that.
02:1870.
02:29Right.
02:30Name?
02:31Jarvis.
02:33Jarvis what?
02:34Jarvis John.
02:37And you were at?
02:38Rosedale's.
02:41What did you do there?
02:43I was an apprentice.
02:44Yes?
02:45Yeah, two years.
02:47Right.
02:48Engineer.
02:50Unskilled.
02:52Well, I did two years.
02:53You didn't take your final exam.
02:56Age?
02:5720.
02:58Address?
02:5911 Selwood House.
03:03Dependents?
03:04Sorry?
03:06Do you have anyone who depends upon you?
03:08Your mum.
03:10Father?
03:11No, he's dead.
03:13When?
03:14Why do you want to know that?
03:17Recently.
03:19Last year.
03:21Are you in any immediate hardship as a result of this?
03:26How do you mean?
03:28A purchase agreement?
03:30Or is your mother working?
03:32No.
03:34The wife does.
03:35The wife does?
03:38Ah.
03:40Oh, I'm sorry.
03:41I haven't done anything like this before.
04:00Should she do that?
04:02What?
04:03That, with her eyes?
04:05She's trying to see.
04:07Hello.
04:09Margaret?
04:11No.
04:13Kath?
04:14No.
04:17Ron.
04:18Call her Ron.
04:19Hello, Ron.
04:20Hello.
04:25Isn't it amazing?
04:27Mm.
04:28It's incredible, don't you think?
04:30Mm.
04:32Mabel.
04:33Mabel.
04:35Call her Mabel.
04:36Mabel.
04:38Call that little thing Mabel.
04:40You couldn't call a little thing like that Mabel.
04:51Thanks, love.
04:55Sir.
04:59Ah.
05:01Spend your life, couldn't you?
05:02Just looking at him, don't you think?
05:04I did.
05:06Was it worth it then?
05:07You tell me.
05:09Daddy's gonna go and get a job tomorrow.
05:12Yeah, and he's gonna buy you three tons of nappies, isn't he, eh?
05:17He's never a Jarvis.
05:19Not with them ears.
05:21We're gonna call her Ron.
05:24Oh, no you're not.
05:30Are you a Jarvis then?
05:31Are you a Jarvis or aren't you?
05:37Johnny and Johnny's baby were strangers to me.
05:40I was under virtual house arrest in the flat upstairs.
05:44When the gangster who seemed to have moved in with my mother did allow me out,
05:48I had to tell him where I was going and when I'd be back,
05:51which left a lot of time for songwriting.
06:01I'm sorry.
06:32You look terrible.
06:35Feel terrible.
06:40Thanks a bunch.
06:46It's Mick.
06:47Right.
06:48Steve.
06:49Right.
06:50That's Jif.
06:51Right.
06:53It's me.
06:55It's me.
06:57It's me.
06:58It's me.
06:59It's Jif.
07:00Right.
07:02I ain't after a place in a line, guy.
07:04No?
07:06Well, I walked out, didn't I?
07:08Yeah.
07:09So did that bastard from the record company.
07:12No, actually, I come because I bought some songs.
07:15Oh, that's nice.
07:16Well, we're short on songs, aren't we, lads?
07:18Yeah, we are short on songs.
07:21So how many have you got then, Alan?
07:24Oh, that's one.
07:25That's one.
07:30My word, we have been a busy boy, haven't we, eh?
07:33You got somewhere to live yet?
07:35Yeah, I'm living in a restaurant, as it happens.
07:37Italian, I hope.
07:39No, it's German, actually.
07:41Oh, German, French, you know.
07:43That's nice.
07:44Yeah, it's very, very nice.
07:46What happened to Dave?
07:48Guy fixed him up.
07:50Kenny and that bloke Turner, right, they built him a house.
07:53That was quick.
07:55Yeah, well, it's not a very big house, all right?
08:19Right, you can leave those right here.
08:22This way.
08:38You can open your eyes now.
08:42Oh.
08:45Is this all for me?
08:46Well, it's only one bedroom.
08:48Well, it's lovely.
08:51Did you build this?
08:52Well, we done it up a bit.
09:05Obtaining a mortgage might present a few problems.
09:08But as it's business accommodation, it'll be tax deductible.
09:12How much do I owe you?
09:14To you, 32.50.
09:19We'll get the rest of your bags.
09:44There's a couple of girls in a new cafe
09:48Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
09:52There's a couple of girls in a new cafe
10:16Ba, ba, ba, ba
10:20Bit of a laugh.
10:34Come on, amuse me, you bastard.
10:50Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
11:06Why don't you do any work?
11:08This is work.
11:11Cup of tea?
11:12No.
11:20My mother's name is Herbert Pork
11:23And she votes for the National Front
11:25She really can't read or write or walk
11:28But I really do admire her front
11:30She's my old lady
11:33And I really couldn't throw her out
11:35She's my old lady
11:38And that's what life's about
11:41Does one hold the scales and the other watch the door, then?
11:45What?
11:51It's drugs, isn't it?
11:53Got to be.
11:54Your business with my dad.
11:56Then you fell out with him, that's why you had Manning carve him up, right?
12:01That's right.
12:03Go on for a bit, make one big killing and buy an island or something.
12:07Once you're in a serious partnership, it's really quite hard to get out of it.
12:13I'm sure you'll find a way.
12:15You know, if I hadn't have seen Manning here that night
12:19I'd have never have found out he was a drug dealer.
12:23I'm sure you'll find a way.
12:25You know, if I hadn't have seen Manning here that night
12:30I'd have never have found out...
12:33What?
12:36That it was you and my old lady who had my dad set up.
12:41She hates him a lot more than I do, I'm afraid.
12:45It's the other side of love, they say.
12:48Yeah?
12:49Well, I'm grateful, really.
12:52Because now I don't give a toss about the lot of you.
12:55I think you're all as sick as each other.
12:59Yeah.
13:08Kids should not be parents.
13:11Government's economic policies making one of the talking points.
13:15The new chairman of the party, Mr Cecil Parkinson, told representatives
13:19that any sense of respondence in this affair was totally misplaced.
13:23The government's policies were beginning to bear fruit.
13:25See you, Johnny.
13:26Yes.
13:28Mummy, see you later.
13:30Eh?
13:31She'll be OK.
13:33Yeah.
13:34Give her the bottle when she wakes.
13:36I have had one of my own, Stella.
13:39Right.
13:41See you.
13:42See you later.
13:50She don't trust me with you.
13:52She don't.
13:54She don't.
13:57...to show itself willing to modify policies according to changing circumstances.
14:02There had to be a change of tone, went on Mr Stevers,
14:05and he urged that the prime minister should bring different opinions within the party closer together,
14:10not drive them further apart.
14:12Criticising the government's economic policy,
14:15Mr Stevers said it was wrong to subordinate politics to economics.
14:19A reduction of unemployment should be the primary purpose,
14:22and if that meant a degree of reflation, then it should be done.
14:26Mr Parkinson, however...
14:36Any letters?
14:37No, love.
14:41None?
14:42None.
14:47Where are you going?
14:48Back to bed.
14:49Aren't you going out?
14:52You know where.
14:57Oh, Johnny.
14:59Little blokes running around with lairdailers. Get your jobs here.
15:02It's only been four weeks, Johnny.
15:10Something will turn up.
15:14Yeah?
15:15Course it will.
15:18I must have written about 30 or 40 letters.
15:21I've been to about eight interviews and it's the same story. Nothing doing.
15:24Well, you're a trier, aren't you?
15:26Yeah, I'm a trier, but where's it getting me?
15:30I've heard about this job.
15:32Yes?
15:33It's not round here, though. Not in London.
15:36Johnny.
15:37Look, I'm gonna do what I said I'd do. I'm determined.
15:40Johnny.
15:43I'll provide for the baby.
15:46Will you let your daddy do that, eh?
15:48She won't be pleased.
15:58Paul Turner was on the move too.
16:01Kenny had fixed him up with a place of his own.
16:07Hey, Johnny.
16:10Hey.
16:11So, carry on.
16:13Looks good.
16:17It was an important move for Turner, of course.
16:20And as it turned out, for me too.
16:29Thanks, Kenny.
16:30Is it OK?
16:33Hey.
16:35Not so bad, right?
16:38Not so bad.
16:39Paul, this is your first establishment.
16:42Give it time. Give it time!
16:45Sure.
16:46Bachelor establishment, right?
16:53I'm a married man.
16:55I never knew you was married, Kenny.
16:57I have a very good marriage.
16:59My wife left me six years ago.
17:03Your shady bathroom.
17:05With me, Benny.
17:07All right?
17:08Hi.
17:12Want some?
17:13You don't smoke.
17:14Neither do I.
17:15We are in training.
17:16Yeah?
17:17Boy, you've got to keep physically fit.
17:20You can't take chances these days.
17:2250 push-ups every day.
17:24Right?
17:25You remember push-ups?
17:28You're right, I do.
17:31Too right, I remember push-ups.
17:34They were really hard.
17:36Push-ups are difficult.
17:37I will concede this.
17:39I'd better get me stuff in.
17:41See you here before.
17:43You're the teacher, right?
17:45I work for the free press.
17:46They give it away?
17:47Not exactly.
17:49What do you do then?
17:50I probe.
17:51What are you probing?
17:52The police.
17:54I'll get me stuff in.
18:01What's the matter with you?
18:02What do you think?
18:04I don't know.
18:06Well, I don't particularly like being told to stay here as long as he says.
18:11And I don't particularly like being told who to talk to and what to say to them.
18:16And what else?
18:18I'll use what passes for a brain.
18:22Meaning?
18:23I don't know.
18:26I'll use what passes for a brain.
18:30Meaning?
18:31Yeah, if you want to know.
18:33Look, Alan, love, it's a complicated story, all of that.
18:37I can't tell you about me and him.
18:40Why is he making me stay here?
18:42To keep an eye on you.
18:43Won't be for long.
18:44For how long?
18:46He's nervous.
18:49Him and Jake have got one more deal to settle.
18:52He ties to the bombers, does he?
18:56Oh, get on out, can't you?
18:58I'm not staying here for my health.
19:00None of us are, lovey.
19:02No-one stays round here for their health.
19:22Guy. Hi. Thanks.
19:34My pleasure, Sarah.
19:35What are you going to do next?
19:36Right, the next song's called Demerara.
19:38It was written by a mate of ours called Alan Lipton,
19:40who writes most of the material for the band.
19:42Unfortunately for Alan, he's far too ugly to appear in public,
19:45so if you're watching, Alan, this one's for you.
19:47It's called Demerara.
19:49Oh, by the way, I've got no idea what it's about.
20:04Take your sugar to the water, Mama
20:06You watch the water turn brown
20:09Put the water to the cup then, Mama
20:12You drink your sweet water down
20:15Watch your lips go in moisture, Mama
20:17And your eyes go round and round
20:20Your head's in the clouds and the ceiling
20:23And you're making a peculiar sound, yeah
20:37My mother's name is Herbert Pork
20:39And she votes for the National Front
20:42She really can't speak or write or walk
20:45But I really do admire her front
20:48She's my old lady
20:51And that's what life's about
20:54My old lady
20:56And I really couldn't throw her out
21:11The sugar on the water's wasted
21:14And nobody here drinks scum
21:17We're sitting in the flat just waiting
21:19For a very special prince to come
21:22Might be a knight in armour
21:25With a lance and a big red drum
21:28I'm afraid I'm not that hopeful
21:31This side of kingdom come
21:33Cos the only kind of lover you're ever gonna get
21:36Is one that carries a gun
21:39Take out your Demerara, Mama
21:42Down before my heart goes numb
21:45We don't appear to be a natural sum
21:51Take out your Demerara, Mama
21:56Down to where those faces are from
22:01Cos I'm living in a place like hell, Mama
22:07Living in a place like hell
22:12Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
22:15Do-do-do-do, yeah
22:18Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
22:21Do-do-do-do
22:23Cos I'm living in a place like hell, Mama
22:29Living in a place like hell
22:33Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
22:37Do-do-do-do, Mama
22:40Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
22:43Do-do-do-do, Mama
23:05Your song was on the box.
23:07Yeah?
23:08Yeah.
23:11Did you write that?
23:13Yeah.
23:20Well, well, well.
23:22Don't ask.
23:23Wouldn't dream of it.
23:29Where's your mum? Out working?
23:31Yeah.
23:33All on your own?
23:35Yeah.
23:38Scotch?
23:39Hmm.
23:51It's been nice knowing you was around.
23:53Yeah?
23:54Yeah.
23:56Well, I enjoyed it too.
24:01Cheers.
24:03Mate, is it just as important when you're married, you know?
24:06Yeah?
24:07Yeah. More so, in a way.
24:10Maybe.
24:12Well, I'm off in the morning.
24:15Yeah, where is this job, then?
24:17Slough.
24:18Christ.
24:19What could I do, though? I couldn't take her working and not me, could I?
24:23You like to keep busy, right?
24:25Well, I'll be back weekends.
24:28Right.
24:30Right.
24:32Stella's not too happy?
24:36I'll look after her, Johnny.
24:39Yeah?
24:40Course.
24:42Oh, terrific. That's a weight off me mind.
24:46Look, I'll see you next Saturday, yeah?
24:48Right.
24:49Be a millionaire by then. Jetting off somewhere.
24:52No chance.
24:54Look, I saw that Colonel Gager on the stairs the other day.
24:57Yeah?
25:02Well, look.
25:04Take care of Stella for us, won't you?
25:07I will.
25:10See you.
25:13You watch how you get, eh?
25:23Oh, shit.
25:25Oh, shit.
25:29What is this grey substance?
25:31What you been putting on the window, Paul? Gravy?
25:34Gravy on the window. Marmalade on the sheet.
25:38Mashed potato on the floor.
25:40Andrew, I never see a place in this condition before. Never.
25:43This is a place for tramps.
25:45You living in a Salvation Army hostel?
25:47It's a room, right?
25:49Well, I'll leave your washing outside in the hall.
25:52You're taking this lot with me.
25:54Your mother still have some use for this.
25:57Fine.
25:58God.
25:59Boy, what you been doing with these clothes?
26:02Been wearing them.
26:03Mm-hmm. Wearing them.
26:04Well, then.
26:06Onward.
26:07On we go.
26:12All right, then?
26:13All right.
26:17Your mother worries.
26:20Shall I find her female clothing?
26:22Right.
26:24Right.
26:26Right.
26:28I'll see you, Dad.
26:30OK.
26:45I'm going to spend my whole life in a wardrobe, right?
26:48Right.
26:54Hey, your dad looks nice.
26:56How much does he have in him?
26:57His left leg.
26:58You like that, did you?
26:59Well.
27:04Look.
27:05Look, when can I meet your family?
27:09It's got to be done very carefully.
27:19Ah, it's ten already.
27:21It'll be nearly nine o'clock.
27:23I'll see you, all right?
27:25All right.
27:26Well, Paul!
27:31Hey.
27:32Hey.
27:33Have you got the time?
27:34Nearly nine.
27:36Can you give us a lift?
27:37Oh, OK.
27:38Where you going?
27:40Well, anywhere, really.
27:41It's just to get me started.
27:43Cheers.
27:48Morning.
27:55This boy take too much stimulant, you know.
27:57He's smoking and crunching pill all the time.
28:00Where are you guys working today?
28:02We're doing a job for this vicar.
28:04In a church, right?
28:06No, he ain't got church.
28:07He's not a normal vicar, if you know what I mean.
28:10Unfropped.
28:11Probably.
28:12Reverend Seal's a real gentleman.
28:14He's a kind of social worker,
28:16but they terminate his employment on account of a rumour.
28:19So now he's managing a pop group.
28:21What kind of rumour?
28:23I can't repeat it to you.
28:24He's a poof.
28:27I'd really like to meet this guy.
28:29We could profile him.
28:31Good.
28:32Good idea.
28:33The Reverend knows a lot of people.
28:35He knows a lot of things.
28:37You meet him.
28:38Profile him.
28:39Is that idea your magazine then, is it, Benny?
28:41Well, it's not usually as structured as this.
28:43Hey, you put that out when you meet the Reverend, right?
28:46He'll have the lot off you otherwise.
28:48Kenny, is this van ever going to stop?
28:50You must have faith, Paul.
28:52I'll ring the Reverend, tell him we'll be late, all right?
28:55Can I have a word with him?
28:57Sure.
29:13David Sales Promotions. Can I help you?
29:15No, it's me, Dave.
29:17The van's done as usual, but there's this guy who wants to talk to you.
29:20His name's Benny.
29:25Hello, Benny.
29:26Joined the firm?
29:27No. No, no, no. I'm with the press.
29:29Which bit of it?
29:30Free press.
29:31That sounds tremendously radical.
29:33Oh, incredibly radical. Amazingly so, considering.
29:36Well, what can I do for you?
29:38Well, it's just I read about the hostel in the grove and I was wondering...
29:41Forget it.
29:42Old story. Finished.
29:45Fine, fine.
29:47Anything else?
29:48No, not really.
29:50Well, not unless you're well in with the local boys in blue.
29:53No, sorry.
29:55I mean, I'm trying to nail one of them.
29:57Nasty piece of work.
29:59Trouble is, my contact has a way of disappearing.
30:02Who's your contact?
30:04A guy called Jake Lipton.
30:06Ex-mercenary from Angola.
30:08Why don't you come along to one of our gigs?
30:11Meet our songwriter.
30:13Bye.
30:42I knew Johnny was worried about leaving Stella on her own all week.
30:46But in my experience, when someone asks you to take care of their girlfriend,
30:50they don't altogether mean it.
30:52So, for a time, I left it alone.
30:55Tried not to think about Johnny 30 miles away on the wrong side of London.
31:11HEAVY BREATHING
31:42Oh.
31:43It's me.
31:44Hello there.
31:46Can I come in?
31:48Yeah, of course.
31:52Where's Tinkerbell?
31:54Must have took her phone out.
31:56Cup of tea?
31:59No.
32:12HE SIGHS
32:26Friday tomorrow?
32:28Yeah.
32:29Roll on Friday, eh?
32:31I wouldn't know about that.
32:37No.
32:42So how long's he been down Slough, then?
32:44A month or so.
32:48Dear Stella.
32:50Well, never thought I'd turn out to be a letter writer.
32:53Not much else to do in me nights at the moment.
32:58All at the factory OK.
33:00You should get out more, Mrs Jarvis. It's getting you down.
33:03You can talk. Stuck up there all day.
33:06You're famous and all, aren't you?
33:08Only to a select few, my dear.
33:10We're hoping our fans will become a cult.
33:13Well, maybe the two of us should go out more.
33:16Just like old times.
33:18Yeah. Just like old times.
33:23Where you gonna take me, then?
33:25Sophisticated night spot.
33:27To show you how far I've come from my humble beginnings.
33:30Sounds all right.
33:32You could tell Johnny about it after.
33:34He wouldn't mind.
33:36No.
33:38He wouldn't.
33:40I was working out that after stoppages and everything else,
33:43we're ten pounds better off at least.
33:46How's Lipton?
33:48They played a song of his on the radio down there,
33:50so he must be doing all right.
33:52Miss you and Yvonne.
33:54Give her a big kiss from me and from Mum.
33:57See you. All my love.
34:00Lots of it. Johnny.
34:02Come and watch the lads play, Stella.
34:05Sure I will.
34:07Doing a concert. Big one.
34:09Well, we'll go, then.
34:13What a cock-up, eh?
34:17I'll say.
34:20What are we gonna do?
34:26Go and watch the lads play, Stella.
34:29Dear Stella, sorry last weekend was such a dead loss.
34:33Felt a bit down, I suppose.
34:35More and more, I don't see the point.
34:38Only been here a couple of months.
34:43Feels more like a year.
34:47Just say the word and I'll come back.
34:50Miss you and little Yvonne a lot.
34:53Kiss her for me.
34:55Miss you and little Yvonne a lot.
34:58Kiss her for me.
35:00All my love, Johnny.
35:06Ace and a half, please, mate.
35:13Never used to go out much when we were together.
35:18I feel a bit strange.
35:21I'd be OK if Johnny and me was getting on better.
35:25Will he jack that job in?
35:27Dunno. It may be going on short time.
35:30Oh, Christ.
35:32What a sinking ship.
35:35He's better off here.
35:37Yeah.
35:39Only sometimes I wonder.
35:41Wonder what?
35:43Whether I want him back.
35:45Don't be stupid, Stella.
35:50No way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way.
35:54Got a light?
36:05I ain't seen you in here before.
36:07No, I've only been using this pub a couple of weeks.
36:10I'm not from round here.
36:12No? No. London.
36:15They had a vacancy for me out there.
36:18Oh.
36:22It's the wife and little girl.
36:24Nice.
36:25Six months. Born last September.
36:28She'll be walking soon.
36:30I'm sure.
36:32Are you from round here?
36:34Yeah.
36:35Waiting for somebody?
36:37No.
36:38She don't say a lot, does she?
36:40If you buy her a drink, she gets quite chatty.
36:45Yeah, well, I've got to go.
36:48See ya.
36:51Don't crease that photo.
36:53Sorry?
36:54Pour over it too much. It'll get all creased.
36:57Oh, right.
36:59See ya.
37:00See ya.
37:01See ya.
37:06Now, he's a good man, he's Johnny, but...
37:08But what?
37:09Sometimes that isn't enough.
37:11That's always enough.
37:14That's the only thing that matters.
37:16Everything else can get lost, as far as I'm concerned.
37:19That's the most important thing in the world.
37:21You just won't let yourself feel what you're used to.
37:25It isn't a question of won't let.
37:27Isn't it?
37:29You're ruthless, ain't ya?
37:31You want a man and a baby around,
37:33and you're not bothered about much else
37:35as long as you've got the combination, are ya?
37:39I don't know, Fabio.
37:42I'll give up, Estelle.
37:45Look, all I want is a man who doesn't walk around bent double all day.
37:50Or perhaps you want to have both of us.
37:53Maybe together we will be able to satisfy your incredible lust.
37:57Oh, don't talk about lust, for God's sake.
38:07All yours, mate.
38:12Hi.
38:13Hey.
38:14Benny.
38:15So?
38:16Well, I've been waiting to see you for ages.
38:18Look, can we meet afterwards? I'd like to buy you a meal.
38:20I won't be hungry.
38:21I will.
38:22Great.
38:27My friend Johnny broke last time.
38:30At school he did it properly.
38:32He never was a boy who troubled with the world.
38:35He was the kind that always made a fool of himself.
38:38He never was a boy who troubled with the world.
38:40He was the kind that always made a fool of himself.
38:43Now you can trouble in a little or a mass.
38:45But we don't actually school play.
38:48In a natural, reasonable, help your brother on his way.
38:53But Johnny, I said to him.
38:56It's getting late, I said to him.
38:59We're running out of reasonable people.
39:01Yes, Johnny, I said to him.
39:04This is a bad time.
39:07This is a bad time.
39:09This is a bad time.
39:15This is a bad time.
39:17We're running out of reasonable people.
39:20This is a bad time.
39:23This is what I said.
39:25This is what I said.
39:28My friend Johnny from the back downstairs.
39:31He works in a factory.
39:34He managed his life.
39:35And some days he studied.
39:36Though he never lived nicely.
39:39He never would argue with the dog machines.
39:42Curling at the factory floor.
39:44And I never heard him asking at the end of the week.
39:47What it was that he was working for.
39:50But it's a bad time.
39:53We're running into bad times.
39:56Any, any other than bad times.
39:58Oh, we're in.
40:01This is one of the bad times.
40:03We're running out of reasonable people.
40:06This is a bad time.
40:09This is what I said.
40:11This is what I said.
40:14My friend Johnny who lived near me.
40:17Hasn't seen the writing on the wall.
40:20He's having business calls from his one-time job.
40:23But pretty soon he won't be working at all.
40:25They won't get Johnny from his working pants.
40:28They force him to his working knees.
40:31He's in a big fight with the ones who ruin his life.
40:34As he argues with the birds on the trees.
40:36But Johnny, I said to him.
40:39It's getting late.
40:40I said to him.
40:42We're running out of reasonable people.
40:45Johnny, I said to him.
40:48Bad times.
40:50We're running into bad times.
40:53Any, any other than bad times.
40:56We're running out of hands.
40:59We're running out of guns.
41:01We fight with bad people.
41:04Bad times.
41:07This is what I said.
41:09This is what I said.
41:12This is what I said.
41:15This is what I said.
41:17This is what I said.
41:27This is what I said.
41:33This is what I said.
41:36This is what I said.
41:57This is what I said.
42:00This is what I said.
42:08Wine by the glass.
42:11Wine by the glass, sir.
42:14Wine!
42:15Oi!
42:16Oi!
42:17Can I have a word?
42:18Ah!
42:19Ah!
42:20Ah!
42:21Ah!
42:22Ah!
42:23Ah!
42:24Ah!

42:38Ah!
42:39Ah!
42:41Oi, Niffy.
42:42Does she do eight-doggy!
42:44We're doing doggies!
43:07Jesus Christ.
43:10Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
43:13No, Guy. He lives here, I think.
43:16Where?
43:18Table 12.
43:20Coffee, sir?
43:33Why, you're doing OK.
43:35Am I?
43:37Yeah, a lot of money and unemployment.
43:39Oh, yeah.
43:41No, no, right.
43:43Look, the songs are terrific, right?
43:45Oh, so glad you liked them.
43:48To get straight to the point.
43:52Do you know anything about this guy?
43:56Why?
43:57I'm interested in him.
43:59Yeah, why?
44:02You ever heard of Operation Susie?
44:04No.
44:07Well, never mind.
44:09It was to do with drugs, OK?
44:11OK.
44:13Well, his name is Superintendent Channon,
44:15but for some reason everybody calls him the Colonel.
44:18He was in the drug squad.
44:20Various things happened, he moved here.
44:22Why are you telling me this?
44:24He likes you.
44:26Do you know him?
44:28Now, look, mate...
44:30You're Dad, right?
44:31What of it?
44:32These two were born on opposite sides of the same street.
44:35They grew up together.
44:37All that, schooled, you know.
44:39I don't want to know.
44:41Shared the lot, by all accounts.
44:43Yeah?
44:44Booze, money, even...
44:46Now, leave off, mate.
44:48The same woman.
44:49Come on, Stone.
44:50What do you think you're doing?
44:52Channon is so bent it isn't true.
44:54And I hear in a couple of weeks he's got something big lined up, right?
44:58I want to know what it is.
45:00Because he's about to make so much bread he's going to be clean away.
45:03And then none of us will see him no more.
45:05Listen, mister.
45:06I don't care if we don't see him no more.
45:08That's no big deal to me, right?
45:10Now, all I know is that that is my father there, right?
45:13That is all I know.
45:15Now, all I do is carry on, OK?
45:19Now, as for all this money and unemployment and doing all right shit,
45:23let me tell you something.
45:25All I talk about is what I see.
45:27I don't pretend to be an expert on it, do I?
45:29But you are, aren't you?
45:30Well, let me tell you something.
45:31I don't want slimy experts like you sticking their noses into my affairs.
45:35So why don't you piss off and leave me alone?
45:37Now, come on, Stell!
45:45I suppose there's some doubt as to which one is his bloody father if it comes to that.
46:00What if they want to go out, Mum?
46:02That's your affair.
46:03I didn't say nothing.
46:09She didn't meet you, did she?
46:11Eh?
46:12See you.
46:13Bye.
46:30It's not right, coming between man and wife.
46:33Oh, Mum, what kind of relaxation does she get, eh?
46:37What about you, Johnny, eh?
46:39What about you when they're out on the town?
46:41I'm all right.
46:42Are you?
46:43Yeah, of course I am.
46:47I'm coming back, Mum.
46:49You're coming back?
46:50Yeah.
46:51You're coming back?
46:52Yeah.
46:53You're coming back?
46:54Yeah.
46:55You're coming back?
46:56Yeah.
46:57I'm coming back, Mum.
46:59Yeah?
47:00Yeah.
47:01It's only a question of time.
47:03Before what?
47:05We're on short time now.
47:08Ten went last week.
47:10Only keep me on because I'm cheap.
47:12Well, what about your exams, Johnny?
47:14What about them?
47:16Well, you've got to finish.
47:18Have I?
47:19Well, Johnny...
47:20Why bother with all of that, though, Mummy?
47:22Why bother?
47:23But, Johnny...
47:24Mum, I wash dishes. I don't care.
47:26Your dad was alive.
47:28Mum, when my dad was alive, what did he do, eh?
47:31Yes, sir and no, sir. That's what he did.
47:33Johnny, don't.
47:35I'm sorry.
47:39Sometimes I have arguments in me head.
47:42And I pick up where we left off, you know what I mean?
47:46And I say all those things I never said.
47:49Or wanted to say and thought,
47:51what's the use?
47:53I miss him, too.
47:56Sometimes, when I get a problem,
47:59you know, stupid,
48:01I ask him.
48:04And I can't think what to cook for supper.
48:09Don't eat up there, Mum.
48:13No.
48:19Stella!
48:20Shh!
48:24Hello, dear.
48:25Hello.
48:26What are you doing here?
48:28I've come home.
48:29But it's not Friday.
48:31No, I know.
48:33Well...
48:37I'm off, then.
48:39Go right, Mum.
48:46You don't even speak to me now.
48:48Oh, don't start, Stella.
48:51So, what are you doing here?
48:55Couldn't take it, now, Mum.
48:57What, you mean you packed it in?
48:59Yeah.
49:01Well, you're coming back.
49:04And he's off.
49:06Who is?
49:07Lipton.
49:08He's got some place.
49:10He's off from upstairs.
49:12What goes on there?
49:14I don't know.
49:16He's off from upstairs.
49:18What goes on there?
49:20Something rather nasty.
49:22I think that big geezer's off.
49:24Which is Lipton's cue.
49:32Johnny?
49:33Mm-hm?
49:37I think I still...
49:39Still what?
49:42I still care about him.
49:45Well, that's natural, isn't it?
49:48I mean...
49:50I think I still...
49:52Still what?
49:54Still want him.
49:56Like that, you know.
49:58Well...
50:00That's natural, too, isn't it?
50:03Well, he's not a totally unattractive geezer, is he?
50:15It's all wrong.
50:17What's all wrong?
50:19You and me.
50:21It's all wrong. It's...
50:23Look, have you and him...
50:25Of course we haven't, Johnny.
50:27That's partly why he's going away.
50:29It's not good, our being close.
50:31It's it?
50:33It's it.
50:35It's it.
50:37It's it.
50:39It's it.
50:41It's it.
50:43It's it.
50:45Look, I...
50:47I want what you want.
50:49What he wants.
50:52Oh, what's wrong between us, Stella?
50:54You make yourself so hard to love.
50:56Why do I do that?
50:58By being so bloody nice.
51:00Oh, right, then I'll bail you.
51:08Oh, Johnny.
51:14I'd say we'd be all right.
51:16We'd be OK.
51:18We'd be all right.
51:21I can't make out your mind for you, love.
51:24And you know what you want.
51:26All I can do is be here.
51:28And I promise I won't go away again.
51:31I want the both of you.
51:36Better call it a week, then, double spoilt.
51:38And I want out of here.
51:41We'll have us both, that's all right.
51:46Oh, Johnny.
52:04Well, that's it.
52:07It's been wonderful having you around.
52:09Hasn't it?
52:11You're off to South America, then, are you?
52:13Don't be stupid.
52:15See you.
52:17Send me a postcard.
52:19You two are so alike.
52:21Done it, have you?
52:23Picked it up, whatever it is.
52:25That's where I'm off to now.
52:27And don't bother trying to follow me.
52:29If you see Jakey, send him my regards.
52:33I will.
52:36I will.
52:38I'm so glad you two have finally patched it up.
52:42I'm so glad you're continuing the good work
52:45of getting people to stick needles into their arms.
52:48Thanks a lot.
52:59You'll be going now, then?
53:01Well, now there's no-one to blow my legs off if I do,
53:04I suppose I will.
53:08Got the money now, haven't you?
53:10Yes.
53:12Got the money.
53:17Only one thing left to do, really.
53:19So...
53:21Alan.
53:23Alan!
53:31Alan!
53:35Have a good one.
53:37Talk to you soon.

54:32Yeah, I got delayed.
54:36You got it? Yeah.
54:42You want to count?
54:44No, it's OK.
54:46Oh, by the way, Jake, don't worry about the boy.
54:49He won't bother you.
54:51No?
54:53How's she?
54:55Same as usual. Nice woman.
54:57But stupid.
55:00Nice working with you, Jake.
55:02Yeah, I've still got to pay off your friend Mr Green.
55:05You got a number for him?
55:07Yeah, yeah.
55:09Number one. The Parade.
55:12He's in the book.
55:14I think I will, just...
