00:30Gun of the Dreams
01:00You don't get air like this in London
01:02Thank God
01:04Blows your cobwebs away
01:06I like my cobwebs
01:08Yeah, we've got dumplings for dinner
01:12She can't cook
01:14Well, that's not the point
01:16You're on your honeymoon
01:18Someone else slaving away in the kitchen
01:21Tommy, if I gave you food like that
01:25You'd throw it on the floor
01:26Yeah
01:27But that's different
01:29That's home
01:30What's up with it?
01:39Up with it?
01:41She's good for another 50,000
01:43That is a very clean motor
01:46Somebody's going to get a lot of satisfaction out of that
01:49A lot of satisfaction
01:51You'll be right, yeah
01:54That's put me right off
01:57You fancy a job?
02:04No, we just missed them
02:04No problem
02:05Not the lousy dragon club
02:08If it's open, don't knock it
02:10The last time I was down here
02:18This fella dropped dead in the car
02:19I don't know how he fell
02:21Hello, Dick
02:28Hiya, Chris
02:28You know Robbie, don't you?
02:30Not yet
02:31Before your time, how are you doing?
02:33Okay?
02:33Fine
02:33Two pints, darling
02:35And one for Arthur
02:36Where are you going?
02:42Oh, on the road
02:43Portsmouth Tuesday
02:45Had to take a jag up to Newcastle last week
02:47How's your mum?
02:51Not too clever
02:52Oh, sorry about that
02:54You haven't moved in with her, have you?
02:57No
02:58I'm still in my place
02:59Oh
03:00I'll get them
03:02There you go
03:04How you doing, Arthur?
03:12This is a good friend of mine
03:13Robbie Box
03:14I'm very pleased to meet you
03:20Me too, yeah
03:21So
03:22Where's the governor?
03:24Never here, is he?
03:27He's had some bad news, hasn't he, old mate?
03:40Yeah
03:40Yeah
03:41He's sat in front of him
03:42In a glass
03:43He used to be a piano player
03:47He still is
03:48When he can see the keys
03:49Why do people come to places like this?
03:54Because they're open
03:55Yeah, but why don't they do it up?
03:57Die?
03:59He's making money
04:00He can make more
04:01You've got something like this
04:02You've got to make the most of it
04:03Getting started's the hard bit
04:05Why don't you get started when you had the chance?
04:12When was that?
04:13A few months ago
04:15When you were flush
04:16It was never enough, was it?
04:18Oh, yeah
04:19How much is enough?
04:21Well, it wasn't that sort of money
04:22Just sit down for the next game
04:24Wouldn't be like that now
04:28What?
04:33You're joking
04:34Mum
04:40Mum
04:40Don't do nothing
04:42I'll phone you back
04:44Yeah, today
04:45Yeah
04:46So long
04:47Look
04:51Why didn't we go down there
04:53And talk some sense in you?
04:55We?
04:55Mum's always had a soft spot for you
04:57She'll never take till you notice on what I say
04:59She'll listen to you
05:01But what would I say?
05:03I wouldn't tell her to grow up for a start
05:05Come
05:06Oh, look
05:07They come back after three days
05:09Tommy's life won't be worth living
05:10There's no way to start married life, is it?
05:12What about Vi's life?
05:14Well, it's the same thing
05:15Well, when?
05:20Tomorrow
05:20Can't be any later
05:21What, straight there and back?
05:23Yeah, there's a train back
05:24I'm not stopping overnight
05:27Well, of course not
05:31Well, all right then
05:37If it'll hold
05:37Oh, smash it
05:38I'll give them a return
05:38Well, it's your money
05:50I'd just like to get one thing straight, Mr Turnbull
05:53If she's working for me
05:55I give the orders
05:55I don't want her on the phone to you in Sydney every five minutes
05:58Fine
06:01Well, that's okay then
06:04Yeah, I'm expecting her any minute
06:07And to you, Mr Turnbull
06:10Come on up
06:26Come in
06:42So, you're Jan
06:48How are you, Jan?
06:49Fine, thank you
06:50And Mr Turnbull wants you to pick up a few pieces for him
06:53I haven't been to many big auctions
06:55Well, you stick close to me and you won't go far wrong
06:57Mind you, it's not a game you learn overnight
06:59Sit down
07:01Do you want some coffee?
07:03Yes, yes, please
07:04Yeah?
07:15Yeah?
07:18Why have they slipped it in there?
07:19Yeah, dead cunning
07:22But don't you worry, Gerry
07:24I'll be there
07:25You're working well, son
07:26You've got to have eyes in the back of your head in this business
07:30Queen Anne, the old desk
07:33Perfect nick
07:34Slipped into a little sale this afternoon
07:36Someone's being done
07:38But it's not going to be us
07:40Right, forget what I just said, Jan
07:42You're starting today
07:43Today?
07:44A sale in Hartford
07:45You'll have to do that on your own
07:47No problem
07:48I'll do the desk
07:50It's in the same neck of the woods
07:51I can't today
07:53I've got to go to Essex
07:54For Turnbull?
07:55No
07:55Don't forget that
07:57We've got to cover both auctions
07:58Or Mr Turnbull's going to be looking for new personnel
08:01And we don't want that, do we?
08:02Rob?
08:15Rob?
08:17Rob?
08:32Where you been? We've only got a couple of minutes. Come on.
08:34I'm not coming, Rob.
08:35Did you say...
08:36I know, I know, I know I did. I'm sorry. I'll explain everything later.
08:39You promised.
08:40I didn't, Rob. I said I'd do it as a favour. There were no promises.
08:43You're letting us all down.
08:45I'm letting you down.
08:47Oh, God, you've got a nerve.
08:49Look, I'll say I'm sorry when I see them, OK? I've got to go.
08:53Guys!
09:01Ten and fifty yards. Departure to Clankton.
09:04You depart from that court. Fourteen and four.
09:12Just got a bother.
09:13I just want a bit more notice next time.
09:17You see, I'm Australians. They don't think people have private lives.
09:21Yeah.
09:34I don't know anything about tables.
09:37You don't have to.
09:38You go up to eleven thousand, then stop.
09:41Eleven thousand pounds for a table?
09:44Oh, I'll pick you up at three-thirty.
09:52This is your last chance.
09:54Have you both made up your minds about this?
09:56Yes.
09:57No.
09:58I mean, you expect a bit of fresh air, don't you?
10:01I mean, that's the North Sea out there.
10:03But on your honeymoon, you're not supposed to notice.
10:06Why not?
10:07We had treacle pud last night.
10:10Oh, it's not good for you, all that stodge.
10:12No.
10:13I bet they've never heard a treacle pud at Bournemouth.
10:15They don't need it in Bournemouth.
10:18They've got better things to do.
10:20Yes, at ten quid a time.
10:21Now, listen, hold it, hold it.
10:22I've come to fetch you, right?
10:23I'm not going to listen to you two bellyaching all the way back to London.
10:27Got it?
10:28You joining us, Boyle?
10:43Eh?
10:43You're very welcome, Pastor Tainsey.
10:46Er, no, Char.
10:47I've got me mum on the train.
10:58Well?
11:07There ain't no Buffy.
11:09The tarm paper's got a cup of tea over this train.
11:12Well, talk to the driver.
11:13He'll give you a go on his thermos.
11:16Disgusting.
11:18When I was a boy, you brought your own grub.
11:21When you was a boy, they didn't have no rooms on the trains.
11:25Oh, knock it off.
11:27We've come home.
11:28You've had your way.
11:30Had my way?
11:31Four days of freezing to death?
11:33Okay, that'll do.
11:34Shh.
11:35If you walked about a bit, you wouldn't get too cold.
11:38Oh?
11:39Where am I going to walk to?
11:41You've come to the seaside to be by the sea.
11:45Not in a bingo hall.
11:47What bingo hall?
11:49Okay, that'll do.
11:51I'm glad Jan didn't come.
11:52I'm ashamed of it.
11:53You're like a couple of kids.
11:54Well, I've had enough.
12:00Me at all.
12:01Your mother can be a very trained woman.
12:21I'm beginning to wonder if we've done the right thing.
12:27Oh, come off here.
12:30Trouble is, we're both setting our ways.
12:34If you hadn't got married, you'd be moping about wondering why.
12:37You've got to make it work, haven't you?
12:39It's all right you talk it.
12:41You've never been married.
12:44Still open, son?
12:47I mean, she'd come back, didn't she?
12:50For one month, yeah.
12:52Yeah.
12:53Well, perhaps you can do something about that.
12:57Yeah.
12:57Yeah.
12:57The offer is still open.
13:02Eh?
13:04Like a game.
13:08I know, Wist.
13:10How about you?
13:12I'm on me any mode.
13:14Oh.
13:15I can never understand, Wist.
13:18Bragg's easier.
13:19Best hand wins.
13:20I mean, what could be simpler than that, wouldn't it?
13:21Yeah.
13:23I can't afford to lose more than a couple.
13:25Oh, can.
13:26I don't have to look at these, do I?
13:34At all, you could be a fly.
13:38Right.
13:40Who starts?
13:41I do.
13:48I'll raise you ten.
13:52Oh, bloody hell.
13:55Oh, what the hell.
13:56It's just you and Lenny, son.
14:02Yeah.
14:10What are you, uh, you have to bet double if you've looked.
14:13Oh, yeah, I remember now, yeah.
14:15Yeah.
14:15Oh, look at that.
14:23Speaking as loud.
14:24I think I've played this before.
14:26It's all coming back to me now.
14:26I've seen you somewhere, haven't I?
14:32Could be.
14:33I get around a bit.
14:34Ha-ha.
14:44Shouldn't he shuffle?
14:45Uh, not in Bragg, boy, oh.
14:4720.
14:4720.
14:528.
14:56Raise 10.
14:59Well, the bet's 30.
15:02Oh, sorry.
15:04What, raise?
15:06Sorry.
15:07Oh, you can raise if you want to.
15:09Double if you want to.
15:10No, I'll just stick with the 30.
15:12Wise decision.
15:19What's that, a baggie?
15:21Got the feeling.
15:22So it's going to cost me two to have a look.
15:25To look and play.
15:26One, if you stay blind.
15:28Ha.
15:34Ha-ha-ha-ha.
15:36I thought I could look.
15:37Not after I'm betting.
15:40Next time round, eh?
15:46Four open.
15:46Pull the other one, mate.
15:52Two blinds.
15:54He's a bloody liar, that Lenny.
15:56Ha-ha.
15:57Can I look now?
15:59No, not now, boy.
16:00But I paid to look last time.
16:02Oh, it'll cost you four now.
16:05If you want my advice, stay two blind.
16:10Oh, smashing crib, huh?
16:12Ha-ha.
16:16He's going to see what young Lenny's made of.
16:26Eight.
16:27Aye, sus to you, Lenny Bach!
16:29Ha-ha-ha.
16:30So I have to put up what?
16:32Eight.
16:34Or fold.
16:35Ha-ha.
16:35Ha-ha.
16:46I told you, he's got nothing.
17:03I'll have a look.
17:05That's going to cost you eight notes.
17:06Ha-ha.
17:09Ha-ha.
17:09Good hand.
17:25Little flash.
17:27I thought you had me.
17:28Ha-ha-ha.
17:35You all right?
17:36It's not playing you up, is it?
17:42He's got a condition.
17:50What's you doing?
17:51Be ill.
17:52Here, let me loosen you, Tony.
17:53How are you feeling now?
17:56Oh.
17:58Palpitations.
17:59I wish I could let you come out.
18:00The quack's going to kill me.
18:02It's your call, boy.
18:03Leave me out of this one, will you?
18:05Leave you out.
18:06We've just dealt.
18:06The old boy's having a turn.
18:08It looks all right to me.
18:09What are you, art surgeon or something?
18:11You can't just walk out and look in.
18:13You've got my money.
18:16I don't think you heard me, boy.
18:18You've got my money in your pocket.
18:20I'm not a bloody charity.
18:21Open the door, will you?
18:24The old woman's got his bills in her bag.
18:28Oh.
18:29What, you want a corpse on your ass or something?
18:31Come on.
18:34It's all for the game.
18:44It's all for the game.
18:44All done, is it?
19:12Yeah, about an hour ago.
19:13Oh, sorry, I'm late.
19:15How'd it go, then?
19:17What happened?
19:18Well, I went up to 12,000.
19:21Eh?
19:22It went for 14,500.
19:2414,500?
19:25You're joking.
19:26There's some fella.
19:28Looked as if he'd come on his horse.
19:30He wasn't a dealer.
19:31Bloody public.
19:32They're killing this business.
19:33The terrible's going to go potty.
19:34You should have kept with him.
19:35You told me.
19:36Yeah, I know, I know.
19:38You've got a bit to learn yet, girl.
19:55And make farm workers ill.
19:56He's asking, of course, to ban government officials from this land if they insist on treating his animals with the new medicines, which he believes should be dangerous.
20:05And finally, scientists in a laboratory in Russia are studying what they believe are the oldest living creatures in the world.
20:16Tiny organisms called microbes, which are so small they can't be seen without a microscope.
20:22They're thought to be about 12,000 years old.
20:25Scientists found them frozen in ice in Antarctica.
20:28So they melted the ice and woke up the microbes.
20:30Not another collection.
20:35Mr. Box.
20:37Sorry?
20:37They told me you were staying here.
20:39I wonder if he could...
20:41No, I'm just fixing the telly.
20:45I wouldn't be staying here and watching that, would I?
20:48If you see him, could you tell him Mrs. Banks called?
20:52I'd like him to telephone me.
20:53It's very important.
20:55I'd like you to give him this.
20:58Yes, that would be very important.
21:09Hello, and we're all ready for real big music because dear old Godi is seven years old today and we're celebrating with all her cards.
21:17We've filled the studio with them and her presents.
21:19I've got a bit of surprise as well a little bit later on.
21:21And there's more cards arriving by every post.
21:24I'm shooting, please.
21:25How well do you know the Turnbulls?
21:46I know Jonathan, but I've only met Jake a few times.
21:55He's the brains, the old man.
21:57Whiskey and water.
21:59It's a bit early in the day for scotch.
22:01Oh, don't get me that.
22:02The thing about a fellow like Jake is he expects to be ripped off.
22:07Anything between five and ten percent.
22:10More and he gets stroppy.
22:12Less and he thinks you're fiddling him behind his back.
22:15So, how do you make your seven and a half percent?
22:18You don't say exactly what you pay for the goods.
22:20You leave a little margin.
22:22You can't get away with that.
22:23Apart from anything else, he signs the checks.
22:25Loading, darling.
22:26Costs over and above.
22:28The auctioneers.
22:30A lot of them won't touch it.
22:31And they're above that sort of thing.
22:33But there's plenty of wealth.
22:35You mean bribery?
22:37If that's what you want to call it.
22:39An auctioneer can keep the bidding going.
22:41Milking it, wall bids, and frighten Joe Public off.
22:44Or he can stop the whole thing stone dead at your bid.
22:48But either way, he's got to be paid.
22:50Jake makes an allowance for that.
22:51You do your sums right, and that's your seven and a half percent.
22:55But what about the sellers?
22:56They're getting ripped off.
22:58Darling, if you're selling something valuable at an auction, be there.
23:02That's rule one.
23:03Protect your own interests.
23:05Because if you don't...
23:06That's a sort of robbery.
23:07Everything in life's a sort of robbery.
23:09Paying your bills late.
23:11That's robbery.
23:13Just ask yourself one question.
23:16Do you want to be a winner?
23:20Of course you do.
23:21So let me give you a few words of wisdom.
23:23Don't rip your friends off.
23:26Enjoy yourself.
23:28Misery slows you down.
23:29And work.
23:30Doesn't matter what I have, but keep it all going.
23:33Now then, do you want a good dinner, and then back here for Coco?
23:39No, perhaps not.
23:40Another time.
23:41But I want you here tomorrow.
23:43You don't hang about, do you?
23:45No.
23:45No.
23:45Who's that fella at the station?
23:51Is this a fella?
23:53A winner, is he?
23:56Sometimes.
23:56He stinks, this place.
24:03Thanks, lad.
24:05Thanks, lad.
24:19He stinks, this place.
24:21He does, he like palms, he palms.
24:25Regulars don't even notice.
24:27Just like home to them, innit?
24:33A pint, you fluffy.
24:49You're on, son, you're on.
24:53Look at the dirt on that bowl.
24:57Killgate.
24:59Do you want a double?
25:03No, give me a minute.
25:07Stop them out, Christine, will you?
25:09Did it beat you again?
25:11What do you mean, again? Get your money out, go on.
25:13Here, you fancy a curry?
25:15Yeah, when?
25:17Whenever you like.
25:18Well, I can't, tomorrow I'm working.
25:19Tuesday?
25:20Great.
25:21Don't know how's life then, mate, all right?
25:23You've got a cheek.
25:25Can't afford to work.
25:27Yeah.
25:30Can't afford not to.
25:32Know what you mean?
25:36Funny thing.
25:38Money.
25:40Hilarious, eh?
25:44You ought to buy that by the half pint.
25:48All right, Rob.
25:49Yeah.
25:59Here you go.
26:00It's all.
26:04He must have a liver like an old mattress.
26:08Yeah.
26:09You in love or something?
26:19Mind you, she is the only thing worth looking at.
26:23Yeah.
26:26You and her serious?
26:30Serious?
26:31Yeah.
26:33She's all right, is Chris?
26:34I'll tell you a word for it.
26:39I don't believe it.
26:42I don't believe it.
26:44Eh?
26:46That's where I've seen him.
26:47Here.
26:49What, I, Phillips?
26:51You must have known that.
26:52This is his club.
26:54On the train.
26:55The old brat trick.
26:57He's been working the trains for years.
27:00He didn't take you, did he?
27:02You're joking, aren't you?
27:03You're still buying me beer.
27:06Yeah.
27:07What?
27:08I never forget a face, even if I can't see it.
27:13Well, stoner, Krause.
27:15I, um, I didn't catch the name.
27:17Box.
27:18Robbie Box.
27:20I don't believe you're a member here, Mr. Box.
27:22Er, he's my guest.
27:23But you'll be, er, you'll be wanting to join, of course.
27:26I will?
27:27I mean, I don't have to tell you what the entrance fee is, do I?
27:29Then we can start again with a clean slate.
27:31All right, I'll think about it.
27:32Meanwhile, I wouldn't say no to a drink, for old time's sake.
27:36We were just going.
27:37They're always just going, aren't you, Mr. Box?
27:39A lot of the time, yeah.
27:40Yeah.
27:41And how's the old fella?
27:42What old fella?
27:43Oh, Tommy!
27:44He was all right after a sit-down.
27:46Yeah, I thought he would be.
27:47I had very high hopes for his recovery.
27:54He made a friend for life there, son.
27:57He's a loser.
27:58You reckon?
27:59Hmm.
28:00Still knocked about losing ten quid in a Brad game.
28:03That's a loser.
28:04You'll be back then.
28:06It cost you.
28:08Could be a good investment.
28:09Go on, drink up.
28:10Do you?
28:11Do you think I can?
28:12Oh, my God!
28:13Come on, son.
28:43I suppose I should give a play with that.
28:50You've done it this time, boy, you worthless, drunken slob.
28:54Leave it out, Taffy.
28:55And don't call me Taffy.
28:58Who's going to pay for all this?
28:59He's paid for that lot 500 times.
29:01Who's going to clear it up?
29:03Well, that's down to the management, isn't it?
29:08I think everything's going to be all right.
29:13Come on, little Archie.
29:34Let's be having you.
29:35Let's get you up.
29:36Come on, a bit up.
29:37That's it.
29:38The last drink you have here, boy.
29:41You're a real good loser, aren't you, Taffy?
29:56Where's your key, Arthur?
29:57It's open.
29:58Give us your coat, then, son.
30:06That's it.
30:07All right, mate.
30:09You're home now, mate.
30:12Thanks very much.
30:14Do you want anything, Arthur?
30:16A short sleep.
30:18Everything's going to be fine.
30:19Dick, you go on home.
30:22I'll hang on here for a bit.
30:24Why?
30:24Well, I can't go back to Tommy's.
30:25That tax bird's going to be lurking around at you.
30:28You're lucky night, eh?
30:29I'll see you.
30:30I'll see you.
30:33You awake?
30:35Certainly.
30:36I'll kick down here.
30:37Okay?
30:39Anything you like.
30:41Consider the place you're on.
30:43You're very kind, Arthur.
30:57No, I'm not.
31:00What?
31:01You're very kind.
31:04Good if I bother getting home tonight.
31:08I shan't forget.
31:10Go to sleep, Arthur.
31:19There we go.
31:21And if it drips, you give it back, darling.
31:23Oh, love.
31:33Tom, where have you been?
31:35Doing my good deed for the night.
31:37Any tea going?
31:37Do you want a bar of soap, not tea?
31:41Where's Jan?
31:42She ain't here.
31:44Expecting her?
31:46Never know these days.
31:48Not since Mr. Grover turned up.
31:50Who?
31:51A fella called Grover.
31:53Does a lot of business with Jan.
31:58What sort of business?
32:00Why ask me?
32:01She's the one you should be talking to.
32:04It's her life.
32:06Do you ever take the trouble to find out what she's feeling, how she is?
32:10Oh, Robbie.
32:12She'd have made you a lovely wife, but no.
32:14You can't see no further than the other side of a card table.
32:18I reckon she only come over here to see if you've changed your ways.
32:21And if she goes back, it's Cheerio Robbie forever.
32:29Okay, okay.
32:30You want my advice?
32:32Oh, what's the use?
32:33You never listen to no one.
32:35I'm listening.
32:36I'm listening.
32:36Well, he's seen a lot of her.
32:39He's taken her up Queen's Way.
32:41A viewing or something.
32:43But I said nothing, you understand?
32:45I want nothing to do with it.
32:48Well.
32:50Okay.
32:52I suppose I could do with a bit of a shave.
32:55I'll see you.
32:55Here's a cup of tea, will you?
33:16Hey, Princess.
33:18Do you want a cup of coffee?
33:19Yes.
33:25Been up all night?
33:33You do a fellow good, son.
33:35All you get's aggro.
33:36You look right.
33:39I'm beginning to get the message, yeah?
33:42Culture.
33:47Yeah.
33:47Yeah.
33:49Yeah.
33:50Yeah.
33:55How's Grover?
33:59Grover?
34:00Yeah, Grover.
34:01He's all right, I suppose.
34:04Useful fellow, the nosey.
34:06Well, he's a dealer.
34:08What are you getting at?
34:10What's he getting at?
34:13I don't know what you're talking about.
34:15I'd like to meet him.
34:17Well, don't you fancy the idea?
34:21Well, come on.
34:21Tell me about him.
34:22There's nothing to tell.
34:26What, do you think, with all the dealers or just Grover?
34:30Look, I said that there's nothing to...
34:32What is this, classified information or something?
34:36All right, don't bother.
34:36No, I'll...
34:37It's all right, I'll work it out for myself.
34:43I'll see you around, won't I?
34:44All right.
34:44Good morning, Robbie.
35:14What happened?
35:17It was a disgrace.
35:19I felt ashamed.
35:21Well, it's your room, isn't it?
35:24One's home is a reflection of oneself.
35:28Is that right?
35:31It's all going to change.
35:34Things will be different from now on.
35:36What do you mean, the booze?
35:40Well, I can't stop entirely, but...
35:44Put it right down.
35:45Very wise decision, believe me, aren't I?
35:48Yes, I just couldn't go around like that.
35:52Can I have a go with your razor?
35:53I'll have my stuff at Tommy's.
35:54Yeah, sure.
35:55Help yourself.
35:55I can be a very nasty character.
36:06You stop up to him.
36:08I may only have been half-conscious, but I remember.
36:14We brought you home, is it all?
36:16No, I made an idiot of myself.
36:19Leave it out, Arthur.
36:20We all get elephants, don't we?
36:21I'm going to work again.
36:26Great.
36:28I'll be up there to start with.
36:31Not fixers can be real bastards.
36:33But I'll show them.
36:35You do that, son.
36:39Then some real money.
36:41Get out of this...
36:42this tip.
36:47Oh, and Robbie.
36:49If ever there's anything I can do for you,
36:51anything at all,
36:53you've only got to ask.
36:58Pack it in, Arthur, eh?
37:03There won't be a lot here.
37:04Very professional.
37:06You mean apart from you and me?
37:15Oh, it's a bloody jumble sale this week.
37:18Canteen furniture.
37:21What would you give for that?
37:34Well, you can never sell these, can you?
37:36I mean, not even if they're goers.
37:38See where it's made?
37:39USA.
37:40Before the First World War, and I can sell it.
37:43What, you know a collector?
37:44I've got to, haven't I?
37:46What would you give for it, then?
37:48No, what would you give for it?
37:50Afterwards, I'll sell it on for you, and we'll go halves.
37:53Sounds like a bargain, princess.
37:55Robert?
37:57Is that Grover?
37:59Who are you?
38:00A very old friend of the family.
38:03Oh.
38:04Oh, um, the next time that Jan wants to go somewhere,
38:08she'll be getting a cab or a bus or walking.
38:11She won't be needing your taxi service anymore.
38:13Do you get it?
38:13Robbie.
38:14Are you drunk or something?
38:15I'm stone cold sober.
38:16But if I see you around Jan again,
38:18you're going to need more than a drink.
38:20All right?
38:20For God's sake, have you gone bloody mad at?
38:30He's just a chancer.
38:31What do you think he's round you for?
38:33What the hell's it got to do with you?
38:35What?
38:36What I do is my business.
38:38He's probably got a wife and six kids somewhere.
38:41You're just a bird of the week.
38:42Listen, I come and I go as I please,
38:44with whoever I please.
38:47You've got no say in my life anymore.
38:48And you'd better get used to it.
39:18Is there something wrong with your ears and all?
39:21I thought I told you to keep out of here.
39:28I don't want you on my premises.
39:30You are a liability.
39:31It says on here that I'm a bona fide member of the Dragon Club.
39:41Fully paid up until December the 31st.
39:45Under the terms of your license,
39:46you're obliged to serve me.
39:48You've got a nerve.
39:49I'm going to give you one more chance, by all.
40:00Just one more.
40:03Orange juice, please.
40:13With ice.
40:13You never did understand women.
40:20Look at the run around you gave Jan.
40:22That's all water under the bridge.
40:24So why is she knocking about with this rover?
40:26It's not her, it's him.
40:28You sure?
40:29Yeah, I'm sure.
40:31So what are you going to do about it?
40:33Sort it out.
40:34There's got to be a way.
40:34Look, Strew, look at that.
40:43Where's my camera?
40:45What you got lurking in there, something evil?
40:47No, across my heart.
40:48What is it?
40:49Orange juice.
40:50Good.
40:52This place is getting like a Salvation Army hostel.
40:55That'll be the day.
40:56Half a lager and a scotch, please, Dine.
41:02I've got your membership card made up, Mr Box.
41:05All I need is the fee.
41:07Well, I haven't decided yet, have I?
41:09You're still my guest.
41:10Here, where's Chris tonight?
41:11She's not here, is she?
41:13She's getting to work.
41:15I'm seeing a man tomorrow.
41:16Oh, good, good.
41:18Playing in a boozer.
41:20Better than a brewery.
41:24Well, at least you've got a skill, ain't she?
41:25If you can just keep off the liquor, you'll be backing the money.
41:27Yeah.
41:29It's all about time, ain't it?
41:32What are you worried about time for?
41:34You've got more time than anybody I know.
41:36Thanks, Dine.
41:39I've got about two weeks.
41:41And after that, one of them is another story.
41:45And I've got Grover.
41:49Smart arse.
41:50Mews House, Sussex Gardens.
41:54Big AM outside.
41:55I'm supposed to do a bunch of the bloody tyres.
41:58What, Jen don't fancy him?
41:59Of course he doesn't.
42:02No, without Grover, life would be a lot easier.
42:04I've been hearing things about you, Mr Box.
42:14Oh, nice.
42:16Yeah, very nice.
42:17Just a whist player, eh?
42:20Um, not just a whist player, no.
42:24Poor gambler.
42:25Taking our money.
42:27Making that you're a beginner all green and innocent.
42:29What about you and your friends, Mr Phillips?
42:33Very naughty.
42:34Fancy a quick one down the railway?
42:36Yeah, we'll talk about trains.
42:39Shine on the nose, shine on the nose, shine on the nose.
42:41Shine on the nose.
42:51I think I'll have a small vodka in there.
42:57Just this once, of course.
43:01Of course, Arthur.
43:19Jan?
43:20How are you doing?
43:23I just had a call from Sydney.
43:24Yeah, they get up early there.
43:40Yeah, next Tuesday.
43:42Early Georgian in Fair Nick.
43:44Walnut case spotless.
43:46Well, Jake reckons about five, but you could go up a bit.
43:54Hang on, someone at the door.
43:56Don't go away.
44:02Yeah?
44:03Dragon deliveries.
44:04I've got a package for Mr Grover.
44:08Come in.
44:08I'll be right down.
44:09Are you Grover?
44:21Yeah.
44:21I've got a message for you.
44:23What message?
44:24From Robbie Box.
44:25He's a bit tired of you, Mr Grover.
44:28He doesn't want you getting in his way, hanging around Jan.
44:31And he's dead serious.
44:33Do you know what I'm getting at?
44:35Yeah.
44:36Perhaps you'd like to take a message back to Robbie from me.
44:42Oh, what message?
44:44Tell Mr Box if he's got anything to say he can say to me himself face to face,
44:49not send his father.
44:50Never step out of your class, son.
44:52That's how you get hurt.
44:53Oh.
44:54Oh!
44:56Oh!
44:59Oh!
45:07Oh.
45:16Oh.
45:18Oh.
45:18Oh.
45:19You were still there, Jan?
45:35No.
45:37Yeah, it was just some drunk.
45:39Got the wrong address.
45:41I put him right.
45:44Now, where were we?
45:49Arthur?
46:03Yeah.
46:03What's the matter?
46:06Nothing much.
46:08You're looking out of brandy again, have you?
46:10No.
46:12I went up to Grover's place.
46:16You what?
46:17I warned him off.
46:20Well, I tried.
46:23You warned off Grover?
46:27He had a go at me.
46:29Don't blame him, really.
46:32Wait a hand.
46:33So, take it easy, take it easy.
46:36Come on.
46:37Shh, shh, shh.
46:38Can you move your fingers?
46:40No.
46:40No.
46:41Right.
46:45You come with me.
46:47Mr. Box?
47:05Yeah?
47:07You've x-rayed the hand.
47:08No fractures, luckily.
47:09But a very bad sprain.
47:11Oh.
47:12And he's suffering from shock.
47:13We're going to keep him in overnight.
47:16You can probably see him in the morning.
47:18Good.
47:19Well, he asked me to say,
47:20can you go round to the Prince Albert in Gilly's suite?
47:22See the landlord.
47:24Tell him your friend won't be coming in the morning.
47:26And would you say sorry for him?
47:29Him say sorry?
47:32Tell him everything's going to be okay.
47:34Tell him that, will you?
47:36Yes, of course.
47:36Yes, of course.
48:06Well, it's no big deal to take a chance against the odds.
48:14Do what you feel, round up, you're fake and over the lot.
48:19But love runs out, and you can do all you've got.
48:25And yet you'll still take a risk.
48:28And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:29And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:30And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:31And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:32And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:33And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:34And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:35And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:36And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:37And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:38And yet you'll still take a chance against the odds.
48:39And yet you'll take a chance against the odds.
48:40And yet you'll take a chance against the odds.
48:41And yet you'll take a chance against the odds.
48:42And yet you'll take a chance against the odds.
48:43And yet you'll take a chance against the odds.
