00:00I used all my options, worked off my dues
00:14Played all the cards, now there's nothing to lose
00:18Don't want tomorrow to be like today
00:22That's why I'm breaking away
00:26I'm trying to run, I'm trying to hide
00:31Walk out the wind if I'm losing my pride
00:36Won't let tomorrow be like today
00:40That's why I'm breaking away
00:43Ooh, breaking away
00:47Got to find a better way
00:51Till the good times roll around today
00:57I'll feed the day
01:02I'll feed the day
01:32My baby takes the morning train
01:42She gains the grafting, comes back again
01:46It's an English song, that, done in German
01:48It's because we're in Germany, I don't know if they understand it
01:52What, they translate the words?
01:54Aye
01:54Do they still have the rhyme?
01:57Oh, I'm sure they do
01:58Didn't seem fair to me
02:00Copy cuts
02:01Why can't they write their own songs?
02:03Oh, why can't they write their own songs in?
02:06Was?
02:07Versteht das nicht?
02:08Oh, aye
02:09She's it by you to sit
02:10Can you tell us?
02:11Come on
02:11You look like you're playing
02:12And now you're listening in
02:13You look like you're listening in
02:14How can they write their own songs in?
02:15How are you?
02:16You look like you're listening in
02:16You're listening in
02:17This is an English now
02:18To be a lot of friends
02:19I'm surprised
02:19If you're a lot of friends
02:20You're listening in
02:21You're listening to a called
02:22This is the mandatory
02:23You're listening in
02:23You're listening to a little bit
02:23He's talking about me.
02:42You what?
02:43The couple keeps looking this way.
02:47He knows my work's not up to snuff.
02:49Are you talking about anything, mate?
02:51The weather is dangerous.
02:54It's sooner or later I'm going to get collared.
02:57Look, I've told you what to do.
03:00Every time a gaffer comes round,
03:02just whip out your extendable steel tape and measure something.
03:10Ain't you getting better, mate?
03:11I mean, it ain't the first time you've held an hammer in your hand, is it?
03:14You told me yourself you put up your Brenda's helmets.
03:17Aye, I didn't tell you they fell down again, did I?
03:20Watch it, here comes my furor.
03:22What, is he heading over here?
03:23Look, David.
03:26Right.
03:36Is he barmy, then?
03:37He's taking a tea break when the charge hand comes round.
03:39He's taking it on purpose, brother.
03:40Principal, pal.
03:41I sometimes think that Oz ain't playing with the poor staff.
03:43Look, man, I don't go downtown to authority like what they do.
03:47Put a chimpanzee in a uniform and he'd salute it.
03:50I was only obeying my orders.
03:52Take the national motto, man.
03:54And if you've got up this here, say it to me face, pal.
03:58He's not talking about you, Oz.
04:01He's talking about a German.
04:02He is.
04:03Only you know when you can't speak a word of German.
04:06I understand more German than what you think, mate.
04:09And I know more English than you think.
04:14For instance, I'm familiar with the English word tea break.
04:19Look, Mr. Ulrich, I do me whack the same as the next man, right?
04:23And if I do it any faster, it entitles us to take me tea break when I want to, all right?
04:28Now, at the end of the day, you'll find the same amount of bricks later as anywhere else on the site, all right?
04:33If this is true, everything OK.
04:37The bank of Trent.
04:39And don't you say to you too, pal.
04:44Hey, Oz, why do you antagonise people for no good reasons?
04:47Just don't like to see them Germans ganging up on them, man.
04:50They're not, man.
04:51Look, those lads are just doing a job of work, same as us.
04:54We're on their turf, man.
04:56We're happy enough to take their Deutschmarks come the end of the week, aren't we?
04:59Well, what's that got to do with it?
05:01Well, earn it, don't we, cos we're the best.
05:04Hey, bum, I tell you, he's always got to have the last word out.
05:07It's hopeless, man.
05:08It's very cracker.
05:09Big head against a brick wall.
05:10Aye.
05:11Well, if you do, you've been banging against a German bit, else it'll file down.
05:15Yeah, get in, boy.
05:17I don't want to get by.
05:18It's not fair to you and the other lads.
05:21I think you're just embarrassed.
05:23I mean, being a chipper has put you up the social scale.
05:26Cat above, innit?
05:27It is not.
05:28It's not wrong with being a brickie.
05:30Oh, good.
05:31Up the door meet dinner.
05:32Us carpeters call it luncheon.
05:33Ah.
05:34Good about.
05:35Hello.
05:36I am Helmut.
05:37Oh, yeah.
05:38Very nice.
05:39Neville.
05:40You play.
05:41I see.
05:42Sehr good.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Very tasty, is that Neville?
05:45Hey, er, you play now?
05:46Oh, I see, no.
05:47Oh, I see, no.
05:48I've got to go and see somebody about something.
05:49Okay.
05:50See ya.
05:51Er, donkey's shot all the same.
05:52Don't get shot all the same.
05:53Hey, let me go ahead and see you.
05:58Want to worry with Dennis.
06:02Well, I say no. I've got to go and see somebody about something.
06:06OK. See ya.
06:32Hiya, mate. It's well earlier there.
06:47Yes, man.
06:52Looks very efficient, doesn't it?
06:55Solicitors.
06:57What's somebody snuffed at my mamad in the will?
07:00The wife's the mistress.
07:02I can't throw the divorce in, are you?
07:04She is.
07:07Why does it have to be so bloody complicated?
07:10The Arabs, you know, when they get divorced, all they do is the bloke says, I divorce you.
07:18Then he smashes a glass on the ground, and that's it. He's divorced.
07:23What's that?
07:25Oh, is it the Jews?
07:27What?
07:28What, smash? Glasses?
07:30I'm not with you.
07:32Now, wait a minute. I'm wrong. They do that when they get married, it's Jews and weddings, isn't it?
07:38No, I'm just saying, in some places around the world, divorce is a lot more simple, isn't it?
07:42Not in Bertley, it's not. Already they're on about child maintenance.
07:47Well, they're all right there, Dennis, working over here. Nobody knows what we make officially.
07:51Keep the bed back by yourself, can't you?
07:53Oh, I don't want to do that.
07:55They're my kids, you see. They're the reason I'm over here.
07:59Whether I like it or not. It doesn't make any difference if I live with them or not.
08:03I want to make sure they're well clothed and well fed.
08:05Of course you do, but you want to keep a few bob back with yourself, don't you?
08:08No, not especially.
08:10Three pills, right?
08:11Yeah. Lovely. How are you doing now?
08:13Cheers, now.
08:15You don't normally get yourself home to the club.
08:17Oh, hi. Tell your brand that, haven't you?
08:20It's the situation then, ma'am. I need a word, will you?
08:24I can't go on pretending I'm a chippy when I'm not.
08:27What am I supposed to do?
08:28Well, you've got us into this.
08:30A what?
08:31Look, it was either that or splitting up.
08:33It would have been on your tod by now and Munster or coblence.
08:36I know, but you said once we got here, you'd straighten things out.
08:39Look, I do have a few problems of me own, just now, right?
08:42Like what?
08:43Look, that's my business, right?
08:44He's getting divorced, man.
08:45Us! What?
08:46One day somebody's gonna put their fist right down with that big mouth of yours.
08:49It just might be me.
08:50Well, what have I said, no?
08:52I'm sorry, Dan. I didn't realise.
08:55Must be very hard for you.
08:56Aye.
08:57Well.
09:06Still, what's gonna happen to me?
09:09You're telling me this man has worked here almost three weeks without credentials?
09:14Oh, he's got credentials here, Ulrich, but he's a pricklier.
09:17He's one of the best men. I can vote for that myself.
09:19But he is working here as carpenter.
09:21How can this be?
09:24Well, I can only presume it's some sort of administrative cock-up.
09:29What?
09:30Well, a mistake, blunder like, with the agent.
09:33I think not.
09:34I can't believe the agent would make a mistake.
09:35Well, look, he's handed people for all over Germany. I mean, there's 30,000 of us working over here.
09:49Yeah.
09:50Don't it be the order early.
09:52Herb Pfister is most dependable.
09:57Yeah.
09:58Here's my letter to Herb Pfister dated August 4th.
10:01My requirement is exact.
10:04Carpenters, three.
10:06Plasterers, five.
10:08He sent four only.
10:09One comes today.
10:11Bricklayers, two only.
10:15There is no cock-up.
10:19Ask him if there's any chance of a vacancy coming up.
10:23He speaks English, Neville.
10:25Aye, but you always put things better than I do, Dan.
10:30Look, Mr. Ulrich, I've worked in your country three times before.
10:35Now, you can ring round all the stomping fools as you like.
10:38They'll all confirm that I'm straight, right?
10:40Now, your lot asked me to bring people back.
10:42That's why I brought this lad here, because he's top rank.
10:45Now, as he was under my wing, so to speak, we didn't want to split up.
10:49Now, I'm sure the occasion is going to arise shortly when you need another bricklayer.
10:53But in the meantime, you'll do anything you like.
10:55You can shovel.
10:56Fair enough.
11:11This is true.
11:13You are bricklayer?
11:15Yeah.
11:16What if there had been an accident?
11:19You would want compensation, yeah?
11:22But the fault would be yours.
11:24I've never thought about that.
11:26Yeah.
11:27Sie musen das selbst ausmachen.
11:30Ich bin schon fünf Minuten spät.
11:32You do not work today.
11:48I must think.
11:50Look, you'll be all right, son.
11:54There's no bother.
11:55I mean, that Ulrich just wants to make you sweat, doesn't it?
11:58All the same with Gaffer's power trip, innit?
12:02Hey, Neville.
12:03I hear the news.
12:05I'm sorry.
12:06It's my own fault.
12:08But I think you are happy to go home now.
12:11You're not like Germany, I think.
12:13No, I've got nothing against Germany.
12:15I hardly know the place except for the night out with the lads.
12:19You are married?
12:20All right.
12:21Five years, nearly.
12:22Me also.
12:23All right.
12:24That's a picture of the wife.
12:26It's not a very good photo.
12:29She's pretty.
12:30Yeah.
12:31This is my wife, Eva.
12:32Oh, she's pretty, you know.
12:34I like very much if you meet her.
12:35Tomorrow you'll come to my house.
12:36Me?
12:37Yeah.
12:38We eat and also we drink.
12:39This way you'll meet German home.
12:40Family?
12:41Yeah, family.
12:42Okay?
12:43Yeah, okay.
12:44Good.
12:45Good.
12:46Good.
12:47Good.
12:48Good.
12:49Good.
12:50Thank you very much if you meet her.
12:51Tomorrow you'll come to my house.
12:52Me?
12:53Yeah.
12:54We eat and also we drink.
12:55This way you'll meet German home.
12:56Family?
12:57Yeah, family.
12:58Okay?
12:59Yeah, okay.
13:00Good.
13:15Good.
13:16Nobody's going to eat.
13:17I don't know.
13:18Not now, Barry.
13:19Nah.
13:20None of us is.
13:21So it's better both of them we're going to eat.
13:25Well, there's not much choice, is there?
13:28It still is.
13:30We can have, er, we can have sausage, egg and beans.
13:34Or, er, sausage and egg.
13:37Or alternatively, we can have egg and tinned tomatoes, or fried bread.
13:43Well, why can't everybody just have what they want?
13:45Because it don't work like that, does it?
13:47You've got to abide by the majority's consensus.
13:51Otherwise, what have you got?
13:53You've got anarchy.
13:55Look, could I have everyone's attention for a moment?
14:00Now, do me a favour, mate.
14:02This includes you, Wade.
14:03What does?
14:04From my experience, what each hut needs is a leader.
14:09Last week, when I was working in Munshire and Gladbach,
14:12we had a bloke in our hood called Sid Henderson.
14:14Axel, we called him.
14:16And he was, like, democratically elected our leader.
14:20That way, we avoided a lot of fruitless debate
14:22about who was going to have ten tomatoes.
14:24I don't follow.
14:25You will in a moment.
14:27Now, for example, one night we all wanted to go to the pictures.
14:32Some of us wanted to see The Empire Strikes Back,
14:35albeit in German,
14:37and the other lads wanted to see a Swedish sex film.
14:40So it was up to Axel, wasn't it?
14:42Why does it have to be up to anybody?
14:45Because it makes life much simpler in the long run.
14:48We were all unanimous about that, anyway.
14:50So, you're putting yourself forward, is that it?
14:54No, no, no, not at all.
14:56I mean, that would be a democratic decision by consensus.
15:00Hey, Dennis, you want to be our leader?
15:12What?
15:13Barry, he reckons he needs a leader.
15:15Someone to make all the crucial decisions,
15:17like whether to have baked beans or fried bread.
15:19Don't look at me.
15:21No, he didn't do a very good job.
15:22I never did it.
15:26What's that?
15:27I'm just saying.
15:28Just saying what?
15:28Well, it wasn't Dennis's fault.
15:30I'm talking to us, Neville.
15:31Whose fault was it, then?
15:32He's the one that brought you here, brought me and all.
15:35Told me I'd be kipping in a hostel
15:36and sell it about a wooden hut
15:38with a bog 200 years away.
15:40You're like the bloody kid, you.
15:42You need wet-nosing.
15:44This is why we need a leader,
15:45to eliminate all this dissension.
15:47Yeah, a lad do and reckon we need a leader
15:48with backs down in front of the crowds.
15:50Backs down?
15:51Well, you don't.
15:52Go asking them favours, man.
15:54You'll lay down the terms.
15:56Just remember, man, they need us more than we need them.
16:00Oh, we don't need them, do we not, eh?
16:02Why are we here then?
16:03Come on, you're complaining about the conditions.
16:06You can't stand the Germans, so why are you here, Ross?
16:09Makes a change.
16:10Makes a change, aye.
16:11Makes a change from the dole queue, doesn't it?
16:15Look, man, we're here because we can't get work in England.
16:20You should be grateful to the Germans.
16:22It's thanks to them you've got money in your pocket.
16:25In the dignity of none, you've just earned it.
16:28Ah, precious little lad back in Berkeley
16:29for the last four months,
16:31kicking me heels,
16:32waiting for the pubs to open,
16:34picking up the bairns from school
16:35because it was the wife I was earning.
16:37Aye, then,
16:38what's not trying to make a decent meal out of tenes?
16:41Aye, I must admit,
16:43that was the other reason I left.
16:44Get away from me wife's cooking.
16:46But at least you never need to worry about that anymore, do you?
16:48You what?
16:50Take it easy, boy.
16:51What's none of your business, this bummer?
16:52The arm, maybe it's up to everyone's business.
16:54Well, what's he having to go at me, boy?
16:55It was a harmless enough remark, wasn't it?
17:01It was pretty bloody tactless.
17:03Your den is an apology, I reckon.
17:05Oh, I've upset anybody,
17:07I'll be the first to admit it.
17:08I'm very sorry.
17:09I'm sure, all right?
17:11There you are, then.
17:12It's an interest you'll get to an apology
17:13from a planet like him.
17:14See you, little lads.
17:20Who are you?
17:21Well, the name's Moxie.
17:23Fellow told me to come to Up B.
17:24You sure he said Up B?
17:26Oh, are you?
17:27Well, don't think so.
17:28Must be some mistake.
17:29Try the next one along.
17:31Well,
17:32maybe I'd better check with the gaffer.
17:34Is it okay, like,
17:35if I leave my gear here for a minute?
17:36What?
17:36What do you say about it for?
17:47I reckon this up's got enough problems as it is
17:49without adding to them.
17:51Must be the missing plaster, eh?
17:53What do you reckon that is?
17:55We'll have a look.
17:59Oh, hey!
18:00It's a dartboard!
18:04Hey, Moxie!
18:05You all right in the first time, pal?
18:07This is your hut.
18:15I haven't got any darts, though.
18:17Oh, man!
18:27What you doing in there, one?
18:29You got one of them dirty magazines?
18:30I know, it's your old man.
18:34I recognise them Poncy brothers.
18:35Oh, truths!
18:47You're sitting a bunch.
18:49I sit here.
18:57Hi, Gawmer.
18:57the other lad seems to respect you
19:02I mean after all you've
19:04been here before and that gives you a seniority
19:07to begin with
19:08I think
19:10if you all put yourself forward like
19:12as a candidate
19:13I don't think there'd be much doubt that you'll gain the consensus
19:16you know
19:17why do you want the responsibility
19:19that's a design by your proposal
19:21oh fair enough

20:16the significance escapes me
20:18I was pissed at the time like
20:20if I just had a fleur de lisse
20:22I'd be on the next plane home
20:23no you can't tell me that medical science
20:27hasn't found a way to erase that
20:29apparently not
20:30ah no one way

20:41what are you talking about
20:43well look he's working as a chippy right
20:45but he's not a chippy
20:46so he does know his way around
20:48so
20:49so you know that circle I saw
20:51can't take a joke you's Lott
20:57let's do it
24:28I wouldn't have had that.
24:29Could have dropped that.
24:30Aye.
24:31It was just what would flatten you lot in the first place, wasn't it?
24:33Hey, fuck it in, will you?
24:35What for?
24:36You should be proud, man.
24:37That is a British bomb, isn't it?
24:39Yes.
24:40It did not go off.
24:46Hey, buddy.
24:49Oh, thanks, Dennis.
24:51Hey, my uncle was a bomb in there, you know?
25:03Van Casper.
25:04All right.
25:05Ready?
25:06Ready?
25:07Aim.
25:08Yeah.
25:09There goes the rates of us.
25:11Yeah.
25:12There goes the knocking shop.
25:14Yeah, well, one didn't go off, did it?
25:15Thanks to Nev, eh?
25:16Right, nerves are still out now.
25:18I think Nev, despite those qualities of leadership to be so good so I've disputed the cause.
25:23I'll probably be going home tomorrow.
25:25What?
25:26I wasn't there, man.
25:27Not up to what you've done out there.
25:28Huh?
25:29You're repping it'll help, then.
25:30Well, it kind of hurt, buddy lad.
25:31You've saved the day, man.
25:32Didn't do much, really.
25:33It was just an accident, mostly.
25:35Listen, you pull all the stripes you can choose up, Sam.
25:38Right, they owes you, don't they?
25:40That bomb would have gone off, it wouldn't just have killed the driver.
25:42He's an Eric.
25:43Huh?
25:44Which was the bomb's original intention.
25:4635 years later, man.
25:48What about it, Dan?
25:49We've time to push Leto's case with Ulrich.
25:51Aye, hey.
25:52I'll have a word, right, when the time's appropriate.
25:54All right.
25:55Here's another thing.
25:57I hope I'll still be impaired while we're laid up like this.
26:00I mean, what happens if you watch B-40 out there?
26:02Take all day to defuse this bomb.
26:04We're still being impaired, I hope.
26:06That's a moot point, that is.
26:08Aye.
26:09That's very moot.
26:10Oh, well, I'm not quite as mad as what you think, am I?
26:12No, no.
26:13You're even madder.
26:14Aye.
26:15Well, I'll have a word with Ulrich and I'll deal with you.
26:18Hey, man, hold your horses, will you?
26:20No, no.
26:21If you won't, I will.
26:22I couldn't give a monkey's, mate.
26:34You were ordered to stay inside your hut, please.
26:38Look, this won't take long.
26:39We just want to make sure I still get my crack.
26:41What?
26:42Well, you can't knock time off of what's happening here.
26:44I mean, we've still got my due, right?
26:46What is your name?
26:47Osborne.
26:48What for?
26:49Osborne, go back to your hut.
26:50Listen, I want the shortances.
26:51Do as I tell you and now, okay?
26:53Well, as long as I've made me point, right?
26:54Yeah.
26:55Go back to your hut.
26:56Yeah.
26:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:58Oi!
26:59I want more thing!
27:00Oh, God, that's a feeling.
27:01It's about Neville.
27:02You talk about Neville.
27:03Aye, no, look.
27:04I reckon...
27:05Would you ask him to come outside, please?
27:06What for?
27:07Does he get his job back?
27:08They want him for the television news.
27:09Look.
27:10More pills.
27:11One million.
27:12One buck and seven up.
27:13Oh, that's mine.
27:14Oh, I reckon it would be.
27:15Yeah.
27:16Oh, that's mine.
27:17Oh, I reckon it would be.
27:18Oh, that's mine.
27:19Oh, that's mine.
27:20Oh, that's mine.
27:21Oh, that's mine.
27:22Oh, that's mine.
27:23Oh, that's mine.
27:24Oh, I reckon it would be.
27:25Cheers, brother.
27:26Cheers, brother.
27:27Cheers, brother.
27:28Cheers, brother.
27:29Another pill?
27:30See?
27:31Where's the lad himself, then?
27:32Where's the lad?
27:33I'm not sure.
27:34I saw him earlier.
27:35He went off wearing a collar and a tie.
27:37Oh, eh?
27:38Civic reception, eh?
27:39I would, is he?
27:40He's gone to that Helmet's place, Jim.
27:42Who?
27:43Helmet.
27:44One of the German chippies asked him back to his house.
27:47What?
27:48A German's house?
27:50What's wrong with that?
27:51Well, he's went to his house, Lee.
27:53That's what I said, didn't I?
27:54Why, Joe, Neville, fraternising with the enemy?
27:57Is that his house?
27:58No, no, no.
27:59I just don't want to be here with us, that's all.
28:01Shut up, shut up.
28:02It's easy.
28:03Hold on.
28:04Hey, turn it up, Chief.
28:05Come on.
28:06Well, what's wrong with that?
28:08What?
28:09What?
28:10What did you say?
28:12Hold on a minute.
28:14Oh!
28:15Hey.
28:16Hey.
28:17Hey!
28:18Hey.
28:19Hey.
28:20Hey!
28:21Hey.
28:22Hey!
28:23Hey.
28:24Hey.
28:25Hey.
28:26Hey!
28:27Hey!
28:28Hey!
28:29Hey!
28:30Hey!
28:31Hey!
28:32Hey!
28:33Hey.
28:34Hey!
28:35Hey!
28:36For the building was the bomb a bad surprise.
28:43Mr. Grunwald, you are the building here.
28:47You are all dead!
28:51The English Arleiter played with the football.
28:55And he found the bomb dead.
28:57I told Mr. Ulrich to stop and call the police.
29:01The police called the army to stop the bomb.
29:08This is Mr. Neville Hope from Newcastle.
29:11The British construction worker, who discovered the bomb.
29:15He belongs to the British workers,
29:17who currently work here in Düsseldorf.
29:20And you could call it the irony of this,
29:23that he should do this discovery,
29:25where the bomb was in the last world war
29:27from a British plane.
29:30Mr. Hope, did you realize that it was a British bomb?
29:33Oh, not really.
29:35I knew it was a bomb, like, from movies or films, I suppose.
29:40Were you scared?
29:41Oh, yeah, terrified.
29:43And what did you do when you found the bomb?
29:45Well, I shouted at him to stop,
29:47and then we went and fetched her Ulrich.
29:51Yeah, I didn't know what he wanted.
29:54Now I'm sure that he was very powerful.
29:57I think I thank him my life.
29:59Yeah, without him...
30:01You are a hero.
30:02You are a hero.
30:03You are a hero.
30:04You are a hero.
30:05People are too proud to see you.
30:06Please say you...
30:11You are a hero.
30:12You are a hero?
30:13You are a hero.
30:14You are a hero.
30:15You are...
30:16You say you are...
30:17Eva, wie he is that on Englisch?
30:18Moody?
30:19Everyone is a hero,
30:20Your hamate and honour...
30:21the town has dissolved indeed their success.
30:24Ein richtiger Held.
30:26Wir trinken auf Sie.
30:27Ja.
30:28Prost.
30:29Prost.
30:30Wir haben noch nie so einen berühmten Mann bei uns gehabt.
30:32Ja, wir fühlen uns sehr geehrt.
30:34Sehr brav.
30:35Ja, ich wusste nicht, dass Helmut eine berühmte Persönlichkeit zum Essen eingeladen hatte.
30:40What did you say?
30:42She said, we don't know when you come to my house.
30:46We are meeting a famous man who is on the television.
30:49So, ich glaube unser Dinner muss jetzt fertig sein.
30:52Entschuldigen Sie mich für das ein Moment.
30:55Tell them, I was only fetching me ball.
31:07I reckon mit 6.
31:09She was a bit tasty, that interview, eh?
31:11I hope she never should have steamed in there.
31:14Aye, they've got some canny boilers of Germans, eh?
31:17I'll give them that.
31:18Oh, nothing else, though.
31:20Well, they'll be as possible.
31:23You passed us enough of it.
31:25No, no, no.
31:26To be fair, I've only been here about three weeks.
31:28I mean, it doesn't make any difference, does it?
31:30You could be here three a year.
31:31All you'd see was beer halls, massage parlors.
31:34See you getting at me again?
31:37Look, you could use working here as an education, you know.
31:40You couldn't learn from it.
31:41Look, man, look.
31:43I'll hear bricks.
31:44That's what I do.
31:45I get up in the morning,
31:47and for eight hours a day,
31:49five days a week,
31:51I'll hear bricks, all right?
31:52It doesn't make no difference to me if it's Dusseldorf
31:55or Darlington.
31:56I'll just play bricks, man.
31:57I've got eight years of time off doing it, say.
32:00I mean, like, Nev's got the right idea.
32:02He's integrating himself now.
32:04No, has he?
32:05Yeah, I mean, that's what Kevin Keegan did.
32:08When Kevin Keegan went to Hamburg,
32:11he made a real effort to adapt.
32:13And Mrs. Keegan, they, like, they learned the language,
32:17and they made a wide variety of friends
32:19amongst the German community.
32:21Aye, so how come he transferred to Southampton, then?
32:24I mean, Germany must be pretty desperate
32:27if he preferred Southampton.
32:29Have you been there, Lake, have you?
32:30Me cousin has...
32:31I have a question for you.
32:33Why? Want to see me, Peer?
32:35Was there?
32:36When Germany's such no good places,
32:37why don't you piss off back to England?
32:42She hoped you liked it.
32:43Oh, yeah?
32:44Oh, yeah.
33:07Helmut, geh mal zum Laden
33:08und hol noch eine andere Flasche.
33:09Ah, ja.
33:10Die ist ja schon beinahe halb leer.
33:11Ah, ja.
33:12Ich will das gleich machen.
33:13Ja.
33:14Ja.
33:15Or I will be soon, okay?
33:17Buy a new bottle.
33:18Oh, right.
33:19Good.
33:20Oh, nein.
33:21Danke.
33:40Nicht gut.
33:41Nein.
33:42Rauchen ist nicht gut für Sie.
33:44Oh.
33:45It's very bad for you.
33:47Ach, ich bin ja zu alt, mir darüber den Kopf zu zerbrechen.
33:58Oh, ja.
33:59Gut?
34:00Gut.
34:01Very good.
34:05Helmut.
34:08Gegangen.
34:17Okay.

35:25Ja.
35:26Oh.

35:56By the Sarnhorst.
35:57Er.
35:58Was sunk.
35:59By the Sarnhorst.
36:00Er.
36:01Er.
36:02Er.
36:03Er war durch die Scharrenhaus versenkt worden?
36:12Ah, right.
36:13Ihr Großvater?
36:15Ja, ja, ja.
36:16Durch die Scharrenhaus?
36:17Ja.
36:18Es, ähm, sunk.
36:20Glug, glug, glug, glug.
36:22Ah, gut.
36:24Ah, he was killed.
36:25Lotte, der Großvater von diesem Jungen
36:32war durch die Scharrenhorst versenkt worden.
36:36Aber das ist ja unglaublich.
36:37Wir trinken darauf.
36:39Prost.
36:40Prost.
36:44Might as well.
36:45It was a long time ago.
37:02You are okay?
37:07Ah, I feel terrible.
37:09It's just as well I'm not working the hangover I've got.
37:12Ah, schnapps is good.
37:13It's lethal.
37:15Well, I hope everything is good for you, with the job.
37:18Oh, thanks.
37:19Hey, and thanks for last night, Helmut,
37:21the evening and the kip down and everything.
37:23Ah, that's okay.
37:24See you.
37:24All right.
37:25Come watch me.
37:36Yeah, I'm sorry.
37:38Come with me.
37:44Do you have a sorcery?
37:46Come with me.
37:47Come with me.
37:54This young man starts work today at Bricklayer.
38:01Oh, hey, thanks very much.
38:03Yes, thanks a lot, Earl. That's much appreciated.
38:06Yeah, it's only fair, isn't it?
38:07The later what happens, there's half pointed out to you yesterday.
38:10Yeah, I agree, it's only fair.
38:12But also, I now have vacancy for Bricklayer.
38:15Oh, I hope come.
38:17You, Osborne, you are fired.
38:24I feel terrible.
38:27Too much damp, is it?
38:28No, about Os.
38:30It's really taken the shine off my main statement.
38:33It's not your fault, Neville.
38:35Os had it coming.
38:36Os came up the Germans' noses.
38:38I suppose Ulrich found out about last night.
38:42Oh, what happened last night?
38:43Bit of a dispute with some of the locals,
38:46some of the German scavelers.
38:48What, you might call a family to communicate?
38:50Oh, is that the reason for the elastoplast?
38:52Somebody's built them?
38:53No.
38:55Os's head goes with the pinball machine.
38:58Were you lot involved?
38:59Just trying to break it up.
39:02Den's right.
39:03Os had it coming sooner or later.
39:04You know what he's like.
39:05Daft as a brush.
39:07Oh, but he's all right.
39:08There's all so underneath.
39:10What's on top makes him such a nightmare.
39:16What do you think he'll do?
39:18Well, he'll go back home, shine on,
39:21make it up with the wife,
39:24go down to Fat Ox, get palatic.
39:27Lucky old bugger.
39:28The agent will not come here until Friday.
39:33So, I am prepared to give you the severance pay.
39:39And I will get it back of him.
39:42Here.
39:43You wish to count?
39:47Is all right?
39:48Seems all right.
39:51Sign, please.
39:51Sign, please.
39:51He had no course to suckers, you know.
40:04Yes, I think he did.
40:06It's because I'm British, isn't it?
40:07That is not true.
40:09I want English workers.
40:11They are good and they are quick.
40:13But if always they cause trouble,
40:15it is better they are not here.
40:17Wouldn't happen in England, you know.
40:18The lads will all come out.
40:20Come out?
40:20Down tools, strike.
40:23But you are not in England.
40:25You aren't Germany.
40:29Yeah, that's a problem, a bit.
40:33Six pills.
40:34Six rounds of ham and cheese.
40:35Six pills.
40:42Only be ours.
40:43Just the usual.
40:45What pills?
40:46Another pill.
40:47Hey.
40:48Ouch.
40:48Oh, don't be dafty.
40:49Only one's a swip that off.
40:50He is not to come here.
40:52Well, what's that done, no?
40:53It's all right.
40:54Hey.
40:55Well, now, what's that done?
40:56Last night.
40:57Last night, don't come.
40:58Come on, man.
40:59Give me a beer.
41:01All right.
41:02Shall I get the boots in?
41:03Yeah, yeah, we heard.
41:09Yeah.
41:12Really sorry.
41:13What are they?
41:14It's not your phone, never.
41:15It's them bastards.
41:16Come off it.
41:17You've only got yourself to blame.
41:18You brought this on yourself.
41:19How's that, Nick?
41:20Because you're always so enough with the Germans.
41:23They're just a canning bunch of lads, man.
41:25Same as the rest of us.
41:26Not that old, Nick.
41:27Well, all right.
41:27It's a hard nose.
41:29It's his job, man.
41:30Well, what could put his job right in this shit, could you?
41:33Drop you all and back us up?
41:34What do you mean, back us?
41:36Walk off and protest.
41:38Oh, well, like a confrontation with the management.
41:40I resolve their dismissal, Lord.
41:42What good do you think that's going to do?
41:44Well, it's going to leave him short, isn't it?
41:46Then what's he going to do?
41:47He's going to ring the agent and order another six Brits.
41:50He's got plenty to choose from.
41:51There's three million unemployed back up.
41:54Well, it shouldn't be alone.
41:55Shut up.
41:56I mean, we've got my rights, haven't we?
41:58We haven't got any rights, Ozman.
41:59We're on the lump, man.
42:00We're black.
42:01Look, if you want workers' rights,
42:03then register with the Germans.
42:05Pay them income tax, welfare and insurance.
42:08You can't have it both ways.
42:12Aye.
42:13Thanks.

45:30Oh, thanks a lot.
45:31That'll be a relief to him.

45:49with a German.
45:50Really?
45:51Hmm.
45:52So they said if he isn't coming back we're not going to work.
45:56Oh, because of the Germans.
