08:07little from you when she was alive well you didn't know her how well did you know her nick

08:28well she's dead what do you want me to do about it not weak that's for sure
08:40there's so many gaps so many spaces we can't fill i didn't tell you about jenny because
08:45well for me she'd already stopped existing and didn't i have any right to expect it my history no no
08:55that's what we said how do you feel shamed about jenny guilty about you well forget it now nick
09:13i can't i can't get it out of my head
09:16come on it's late
09:24time for bed
09:33it's tragic
09:46unless you came here last night
09:49your brewer did mention it sir well only to meet her seeing as i'd known jenny well this shocking
09:55accident had absolutely no connection with her visit here of course oh how could it have sir
09:59well she was sober enough when she left here so there seemed to be little point in going out of
10:06one's way to mention the fact that she came to the house at all oh no point sir i don't want to get
10:11dragged into that sort of unpleasantness she must have gone on the binge afterwards with that pal of hers
10:20yeah rosie i'd like to have a word with him yes sir it gives his address there go around and see
10:29if he's in and arrange for him to meet me will you uh somewhere discreet very good sir
10:43i'll give you mummy on your behind that's the last wit walks you'll go on can we go home now i'm not
11:01sure i want you lovey trouble you caused me all right we'll go in a minute
11:10mo he's lots better how are you he he just wants keeping an eye on that's all keep him warm
11:18you mo all right joe's upstairs olga made him lie down he sat up in his chair all night long
11:30oh i'm sorry mo it wasn't her fault no sailor she'd call me oh hush your face a minute will you i don't know why
11:42sailor
11:42thanks mo for looking after brian come on lovey give your uncle a kiss
12:12mr rosie i obliged you for coming
12:28coffee two coffees please
12:34well i'm afraid we weren't actually introduced last evening but
12:37um the whole thing was uh well not to beat about the bush it was a matter of extreme delicacy
12:46and then of course for things to end in that shocking way i i uh
12:52she uh jenny she was a friend of yours yes well naturally i fully appreciate how you must feel mr
13:00rosie i only regret that i should have had to ask you to meet me at this time but uh the matter is of some urgency
13:11thank you
13:12if you were a friend of hers presumably you know how matters stood between her and my son
13:25i knew she was bloody miserable that's all yes yes of course
13:30uh but jenny's visit to my house had absolutely no connection whatever with the uh unhappy event that
13:40followed undoubtedly there will be an inquest and uh almost certainly you will be a witness
13:47i must put it to you mr rosie do you not think that it would be far less um complicated all round if
13:57um you would find it uh unnecessary to mention the matter in court what matters that the fact that
14:05miss keppel and yourself had been to my house earlier that evening oh you must have made a mistake
14:09jenny and me had a few drinks in different pubs and and then then we went on to nick's place
14:16that's all
14:18that's what happened last night
14:20but why are you denying that you came to my house you're not trying to protect me are you well who then

15:09All right.
15:39All right.
16:09All right.
16:39All right.
16:41All right.
16:43All right.
16:45All right.
16:47All right.
16:49All right.
16:51All right.
16:53All right.
16:55All right.
16:57All right.
16:59All right.
17:01Good morning.
17:03Good morning.
17:05I wonder if you could help me.
17:07I'm looking for Mr. Nicholas Faunt.
17:08Hello, Sir George.
17:09I'm afraid you have been glad.
17:10Anna Fitzgerald.
17:11The town hall.
17:12Oh, yes, of course.
17:13I remember now.
17:14The artist's reception.
17:15Have you come to see what I'm up to with your son?
17:17Oh, no.
17:18I draw the water.
17:19He choose the water.
17:20Well, that's a perfect arrangement.
17:21If it's him you've come to see, you're out of luck.
17:23It's his big day today.
17:24Well, that's why I'm here.
17:25Well, that's why I'm here.
17:26I thought if I came early enough, I might catch him.
17:28Wish him luck, sort of style.
17:29Oh.
17:30You'd have had to be up before this to catch Nick.
17:32If you're not jumpy, you'd think it's triplets he's having.
17:34Not an exhibition.
17:35Well, it is pretty important to him.
17:37He's done some bloody good work.
17:39Why don't you come and have a look?
17:41Oh, I hardly think that would do.
17:43I don't see why not.
17:45If this is an excuse for you two to make up, it'd be a sight easier in public.
17:49Does he still hate me so much?
17:51Well, let's say he doesn't exactly reckon the sun shines out of your bum.
17:55But if he'd be that tickled with his little self today when they're all telling him what a genius he is,
17:59he'll shake hands like a lamb.
18:01I doubt that.
18:03Look, come to the bassoon club later on.
18:07I might even sell you a picture.
18:09Who knows?
18:11I might even buy one.
18:19You kick holes through the toes, my lad, and then see if you get a new pair.
18:23My kid, not Nick's. Don't think evil thoughts.
18:25Well, I may see you later then.
18:29Make sure you do.
18:33All right.
18:35Uncle Mo will be here in a moment.
18:37When he comes, I'm off.
18:39Brian, are you listening?
18:41Yes.
18:42Right, you have to be a good lad for him, understand?
18:44None of you are wandering off or you'll get a clatter on the chops.
18:47From me.
18:48Ah, finally.
18:49Oh, I'm sorry, Anna.
18:50Hello, Brian.
18:51There we are.
18:52Uncle the Mayor.
18:53What are we going to do today?
18:54Well, how about Bellevue?
18:55Could he go in the box?
18:56Oh, I don't know.
18:57You might be sick.
18:58I'd have fetched him around your place, but he'd only be the other way without a mob.
18:59Whose throats is it they're planning to cut next?
19:00Well, nobody's.
19:01But they are organizing a protest meeting down at the town hall.
19:02That's the only look to them.
19:03Joe says them council bastards need to be told a few own truths.
19:04Oh, no.
19:05What can they tell them they don't know already?
19:06Most of them are just as pathetic as your Joe Keppel and his mates.
19:07The only difference is the other lot have got fatter bellies.
19:08But if you get rid of the capitalist system, the battle's half won.
19:09You might be sick.
19:10You might be sick.
19:11I'd have fetched him around your place, but he'd only be the other way without a mob.
19:12Whose throats is it they're planning to cut next?
19:13Well, nobody's.
19:14But they are organizing a protest meeting down at the town hall.
19:15Best only look to them.
19:16Joe says them council bastards need to be told a few own truths.
19:17Oh, no.
19:18What can they tell them they don't know already?
19:19Most of them are just as pathetic as your Joe Keppel and his mates.
19:21The only difference is the other lot have got fatter bellies.
19:22But if you get rid of the capitalist system, the battle's half won.
19:25Systems, politics, theories.
19:26Don't they understand it's people that's all wrong?
19:28We're not bad.
19:29We're just kids yet.
19:30Not grown up enough.
19:31Oh, don't worry about it, Mo.
19:32If Nick sells all his pictures this week, see which side of the fence I land on then, eh?
19:35Bye-bye, love.
19:36Come on.
19:37I'm sorry.
19:38I'm sorry.
19:39I'm sorry.
19:40I'm sorry.
19:41I'm sorry.
19:42I'm sorry.
19:43I'm sorry.
19:44I'm sorry.
19:45I'm sorry.
19:46I'm sorry.
19:47I'm sorry.
19:48I'm sorry.
19:49Bye-bye, love.
19:50Come on.
19:51I'll beat you at football, Brian.
19:53You ready?
19:54Get and go.
19:55Off we go.
19:56There.
19:57I won.
19:58Come on, then.
19:59I'm not throwing cold water.
20:01But look at Red Thursday.
20:02Got nowhere.
20:03Sabotaged by the gutter press, councillor.
20:06Ridicule's a very potent weapon in your line of country.
20:09You ought to know that.
20:10This time we'll be prepared.
20:12This time they'll take us serious, all right.
20:14Aye, and that march your NUWM mates organised to London.
20:18Fetched them from Farerfielders, Glasgow, weren't it?
20:21Aye, poor sods.
20:22Aye, right.
20:23So that were five months ago.
20:24And what did that achieve?
20:25Nought but a few hundred blistered eels.
20:27For someone who's not trying to chuck a dampening, you're not doing so bad.
20:34You came here today of your own accord.
20:36Wanted to muck in and help, you said.
20:38Aye, well, so I do.
20:39So what's all this rubbish about, then?
20:40You want us to chuck in a bloody towel before we even start?
20:42I'm just not sure that protest marches have much effect.
20:46They will if we keep at it.
20:48Process of attrition.
20:49They'll have to pay it in the end.
20:50If you've any better suggestions, let's hear them.
20:53Well...
20:54Well, the local authorities are taking steps.
20:57I mean, they're doing something about finding work.
21:00Aye, road digging.
21:02Well, you can't deny we need improved roads.
21:04You can't deny a man needs a job he can do with a bit of pride.
21:07One he's skilled and fitted for.
21:10We're not a bunch of bloody morons, you know.
21:12Stick a shovel in our hand, a pickaxe, anything to keep us out of mischief.
21:16We're sick of makeshift solutions.
21:18Non-solutions.
21:19Aye.
21:20Reduce workers' wages.
21:22Bloody brilliant idea that was.
21:24And the unions were actually prepared to discuss it.
21:26Right.
21:27We've been sold short by our own unions, by the bosses and by the government.
21:31Not one of them's prepared to stand up and fight for us,
21:34so we have to do it for ourselves.
21:35Aye.
21:36And if they come back and say they can't give us jobs they haven't got,
21:39the answer's simple.
21:40We elected them in Westminster to run this country.
21:43If trade's bad, it's up to them to find a way of boosting it.
21:46Right.
21:47As I see it, it's their job to get the mills rolling again.
21:50It's ours to keep them that way.
21:52All we are asking for is the chance.
21:55Hello?
21:56Hello, my precious.
21:57Did I wake you?
21:58No, darling.
21:59Of course you didn't.
22:00You're very sweet, my love.
22:01But to be honest, you know I had the telephone installed for my pleasure so that I could call you whenever I felt like it.
22:13If I choose the wrong time, you must tell me.
22:15It's never the wrong time and after two whole months I shouldn't have to need to tell you.
22:16Well, how are you this morning?
22:17Because I...
22:18I feel fine.
22:19Why?
22:20Why?
22:21What did you have in mind?
22:22Just a little surprise.
22:23Lovely.
22:24You are free today.
22:25Idiot.
22:26Of course I'm free and at your disposal, sir.
22:27Twenty four hours a day.
22:28Twenty four hours a day.
22:29You're very sweet, my love.
22:30You're very sweet, my love.
22:31But to be honest, you know I had the telephone installed for my pleasure so that I could call you whenever I felt like it.
22:35If I choose the wrong time, you must tell me.
22:38It's never the wrong time and after two whole months I shouldn't have to need to tell you.
22:41Well, how are you this morning?
22:43Because I...
22:44Idiot.
22:45Of course I'm free and at your disposal, sir.
22:46Twenty four hours a day since you made me give up the shop.
22:49Not made.
22:50Asked.
22:51No.
22:52No made.
22:53That is, insisted, forced me, bossed me and I loved it.
22:58Well, I'll see you soon.
23:01Well, my love.
23:14Where the hell have you been?
23:15Where the hell do you think I've been?
23:16To get your precious catalogues.
23:17God, these are awful.
23:18What do you think?
23:19I'm holding a bloody fire sale.
23:20I wouldn't use these for lavatory paper and the printing.
23:21And I get them on the phone and tell them they know where they can stick their lousy bill.
23:22Boy, me, I'm wondering.
23:23Why me, I'm wondering.
23:24Well, you're very good at that sort of thing.
23:25I've had the best teacher.
23:26So, we're in business then, are we?
23:28God, these are awful.
23:31You think I'm holding a bloody fire sale?
23:34I wouldn't use these for lavatory paper and the printing.
23:37And I get them on the phone and tell them they know where they can stick their lousy bill.
23:40Boy, me, I'm wondering.
23:41Well, you're very good at that sort of thing.
23:43I've had the best teacher.
23:45So, we're in business then, are we?
23:47Ah, well, we've plenty of red tabs.
23:49All we need now is plenty of customers.
23:51Now, if anyone actually offers to buy, you stick one of these things on, right?
23:54Right.
23:55And you offer them fags, but be extremely frugal with the wine.
23:58And if any middle-aged dowager wants a picture to match her living room curtains,
24:02you can stuff her fancy egg lid on the back of her throat.
24:05I will.
24:06After I've taken the money.
24:08Are you going to make a speech?
24:09No.
24:10Oh, I thought you'd be having a chairman and a bit of a jaw.
24:12And me sitting there among the knobs.
24:14The artist's inspiration.
24:16If it's a speech you want, it's a speech you'll get.
24:20Here is assembled the finest collection of paintings,
24:23I'm in it by any Manchester man or woman in the past century.
24:26If I sell one, it'll be a marvel.
24:28If I sell two, it'll be a miracle.
24:29And if I cover my expenses, I'll eat me bloody at.
24:33The show is now open.
24:38Oh, if anybody offers to buy Piggy, what shall I tell them?
24:41He's not for sale.
24:42He often is, but on this occasion he's not.
24:44And shall I tell them this is my naked flesh they're gawping at?
24:45They'll have to be blind not to see it for themselves.
24:46If I mention it, it might just encourage them to buy.
24:47The picture?
24:48Well, unlike Piggy, I am for sale.
24:49But till now you're the only man I've met can afford the price.
24:50You talk too much.
24:51Yes, well, isn't that all part of the price?
24:52Hey, where are you often?
24:53Coffee.
24:54I'll be here since seven.
24:55If I mention it, it might just encourage them to buy.
24:58The picture?
24:59Well, unlike Peggy, I am for sale.
25:02But till now you're the only man I've met can afford the price.
25:05You talk too much.
25:07Yes, well, isn't that all part of the price?
25:12Hey, where are you off to?
25:13Coffee. I've been here since seven.
25:25I have been here since a year and I am only in the longs.
25:27But it's easy to use for sale.
25:30I'm not sure if I'm not on the line.
25:37But I'm not sure if you haven't got any more,
25:40I want to make sure that he's looking for a pair of flights.
25:44But there are a lot of places that have gone down.
25:48So, I'll just go ahead and take a look at the place in a pack.
25:52oh I'm early. you're exactly on time. I'm the one who's late. come on in there's
26:04nobody here.

26:22woman's bedroom? no but I'm not your lover Rachel. that's true you're not. I'm the
26:31very happy man that you're engaged to. when we first met in Midland do you
26:39remember? of course I do. you work like the devil to convince me you weren't a... what
26:45was your expression? a habitual philanderer.

27:03here you are alone with me in a house in a bedroom and you haven't remotely tried to take advantage of
27:08the fact. you know I wouldn't. I hope I know no such thing. I certainly don't want to be
27:16married to a man who doesn't want to make love to me. oh of course I do. more than
27:21anything in the world. why not? well I I just feel that we should wait. we'll be

28:14I'll wait for you in the other room while you get dressed.
28:37shop!
28:39I'm going potty.
28:48come on up then you stingy lancashire bastards. bloody philistines. we've got an aladdin's cave up here. come on up.
28:55oh. oh. oh. oh. oh just saying me prayers. I always think there's a better chance of
29:02them being heard from the top of a tall building.
29:04have a catalogue.
29:05thank you.
29:06thank you.
29:08thank you.
29:13thank you.
29:15and if I have no clue who needs to have knanders.
29:17and this is how it feels.
29:20you'll make a mistake.
29:23, thank you very much.
29:55Hey, that's me. Do you like it?
30:01Oh, yes, it's, uh, it's very, uh, I think it's, uh, well, it's definitely, thank you.
30:13Oh, oh, good morning. Uh, have a catalogue.
30:16Catalogue.
30:19Catalogue?
30:25So this is the surprise.
30:34Yes.
30:35But I've been here. It's rather a scruffy little dive where the arty crowd meet.
30:39Well, I thought we'd have a look at what this son of mine's been up to.
30:42Time we smoked the old peace pipe.
30:44Wedding coming along.
30:45No.
30:47No, I didn't want to go.
30:48Oh, my dear.
30:50Rachel, darling, are you ill?
30:54No.
30:55Of course not.
30:56Come along.
30:57Let's go inside.
30:57Hmm, yes.
31:07What do you think?
31:09Nice.
31:13That's nice.
31:16Prints are so good these days, don't you think?
31:18Yes.
31:25This...
31:25This picture, number 23.
31:29Do you mind putting a tab on it for me?
31:31I'll put 20 tabs on it if you like.
31:33I'll scatter it so it'll look like a church porch after a wedding.
31:41Uh, name and address, please, sir.
31:44And we'll send you the picture after the show.
31:46My name is Holiday.
31:47Shall I make out the check now?
31:48St. Patrick himself never had a holier thought.
31:51Uh, ten guineas, please, sir.
31:55And a man of such obvious taste and discernment as yourself
31:57won't need telling that for a trifling ten guineas
32:00he's just brought himself a lifetime's worth of pleasure.
32:09Good morning.
32:10Oh, now isn't that grand.
32:11A man of his word.
32:12Well, I try to be Mrs. Zero.
32:13Oh, thank you.
32:16How kind.
32:19Um, may I introduce my fiancée?
32:21Darling, this is Miss Fitzgerald.
32:23Miss Rosing, Miss Fitzgerald.
32:26This is an unexpected pleasure, Miss Rosing.
32:29So it's soon to be your ladyship, then.
32:34No, thank you.
32:37I'm only sorry it's not champagne we're offering,
32:39but we drank the last magnum at breakfast.
32:41Darling, I'd rather you didn't smoke.
32:42I couldn't stand it in this atmosphere.
32:48Nick?
32:49As you said,
32:50a one-man exhibition is a prestigious honour for an artist.
32:53Well, I can think of some who would give their right a left arm.
32:56The curator from Mosley Street's common,
32:59the Manchester Guardian critic.
33:00Any moment a million throne could burst through this door
33:02to acclaim the new Rembrandt.
33:04So you'd expect your son to be here, wouldn't you?
33:06No.
33:06No.
33:07Set it all up and skedaddled.
33:09Well, in that case,
33:10what can you show us?
33:11That's cheerful.
33:13Cheerful, cheerful.
33:14Oh, cheerful, cheerful, cheerful.
33:21Oh, this is cheerful.
33:23A snip at a measly 50 guineas.
33:2450 guineas?
33:26Oh, he must think a bit of himself
33:27to stick his prices on like that.
33:29Still, you can see those people moving.
33:32Well, I'm damned.
33:34Darling, this woman here looks a bit like you.
33:37I shouldn't be at all surprised.
33:39Seeing that was obviously painted at the Ice Palace
33:41and I used to go there nearly every evening.
33:43Oh, splendid.
33:44All the more reason for buying it.
33:45Miss Fitzgerald,
33:46would you be very kind
33:47and put one of those little red watsits on it for me?
33:49Yes, I'm...
33:50No.
33:50It's a very good picture.
33:53Hello, Father.
33:55Hello, Nick.
33:57He's come to buy
33:57the most expensive painting in the exhibition.
34:00As a sound businessman,
34:01he knows it'll double the investment within the year.
34:03And to see you.
34:04It's high time, don't you think?
34:06Well, if you don't fancy that one,
34:08perhaps you'd prefer an outdoor scene.
34:11I don't know if you know the area.
34:13It's on Woodhead Moor.
34:15Well, it's rather good.
34:16Oh, but only six guineas.
34:19Well, I wanted to do you a good turn, old chap.
34:22At least I knew.
34:23Oh, do shut up, for God's sake!
34:24Right.
34:26I want to go home.
34:30Could you get her some water, please?
34:32No, I'm sorry.
34:33I'm all right.
34:34I just felt a bit queasy.
34:35I thought so.
34:37It's not water she'll be needing.
34:39It's a midwife.
34:39It's a midwife.
35:09Oh, well, I'll take my tit for off to the old boy.
35:13I'd have sworn that one would have stuck out
35:14for a gold band on her finger
35:15before she took her knickers off
35:16with a prize like him at stake.
35:19Must be hot stuff, your dad.
35:21Hey, I wonder if that sort of talent's inherited.
35:25Or maybe one day you'll be that desperate
35:26I'll find out for myself.
35:28What's the matter with your appetite?
35:29Nothing, I'm just not hungry, that's all.
35:31Hey, help shop.
35:39That one's a good one.
35:46It's not for sale, though.
35:47What, how'd it get the doctor?
35:58No.
35:59Well, it might be wisest.
36:00It was a faint, not a bloody heart attack.
36:03Pregnancy's not like the flu.
36:05You can't cure it with a dose of aspirin
36:07and a couple of days in bed.
36:08George.
36:15It, it happened before I met you.
36:19Not that that makes much difference now.
36:22Not that it makes any difference.
36:24Still.
36:30And if I were of a younger generation,
36:33I suppose I could say it doesn't.
36:36As it is.
36:36Yes.
36:38And I imagine that's why this morning.
36:42So what had you in mind?
36:44Bring the marriage date forward
36:45and present the proud father with a premature baby?
36:48Correction, premature bastard!
36:49I was.
36:51And I am very fond of you.
36:55Whether or not you believe that now is another matter.
36:58I seem to remember that you had no brother, Rachel.
37:02To believe you caused for the credulity of a cretin
37:05allied to that of a lackey.
37:07And I don't believe that I'm either.
37:09Though it seems that I came dangerously close to being both.
37:14I suppose you'll want this back.
37:16Naturally.
37:21Do you think I would do the gentlemanly thing and say keep it?
37:24No.
37:25What will you do?
37:26No.
37:26What will you do?
37:32Be thankful.
37:34What else?
37:35There's your red lions, your spinner's arms, your Georgian flaming dragon
37:48that I should have a pub with such a name.
37:50I think that's a nice name.
37:53Nice?
37:54Who thinks it's nice?
37:57The Lover's Not.
37:59Sheer bloody poetry.
38:01George and the flaming dragon.
38:02What?
38:04George and the flaming dragon.
38:06It's a nice name.
38:08Look.
38:09You are not an artist or a poet.
38:12So stick to what you know and leave the judgments to your elders and betters.
38:15Right?
38:15Right.
38:17The Lover's Not.
38:18Well, where is it then?
38:20Near Tarpoli.
38:21Oh, it's just like something off of a calendar.
38:25Not too far off the main road, though.
38:27Oh, we should get plenty of the punters, especially of summer's evenings.
38:32Lovely garden, full of bloody great roses like soup plates.
38:37I never thought you'd give up the book, Piggy.
38:40I'm getting past the chasing round.
38:42I'm more than 21.
38:44Do you fancy it, then?
38:46Me?
38:47Yes.
38:48You, you great lummoch.
38:50Look, who else?
38:52Thee and me, just like we used to be.
38:55I couldn't do that.
38:56It's not a tight house.
38:58It's all me own.
38:59We shall be like lords of the bleeding manor.
39:01Round here's where I'm from.
39:03But round here's where I know.
39:06So it's a crime to try something different suddenly.
39:09You can give me a good few years, and if I can change nags in midstream...
39:13Yeah, but...
39:14Look, Moe.
39:18I'm offering you a job.
39:21In a nice pub.
39:24Stop hanging round these bolshies.
39:27They're anti-religious.
39:29It's no good, Moe.
39:31Give the almighty a sporting chance, I say.
39:33Leave him in the running.
39:34It looks to me like scratching the favourite.
39:38Only road, have a think about it.
39:40There's no future in British Bolshevism, but there is in British beer.
39:47All right, all right.
39:47I will do the bottling.
39:48Go on.
39:54Go on.
39:54Go on.
40:01Hello.
40:02Hello.
40:03Moved into Buckingham Palace yet, Duchess?
40:05I want to have a word with Jacob.
40:06Permission to speak granted.
40:10Think on about what I've said.
40:13I am going for some nosh.
40:1535, 37, 40, 45, 46, 47.
40:29And some of that's only deposits.
40:30And the exhibition's still three days to run.
40:32We'll be rolling.
40:33Have a mind to go and buy up Scriven Hall.
40:39Dispossessed a lot of them.
40:40Bag and baggage.
40:41Yep.
40:42Yep what?
40:43It's what makes you tick, all right.
40:45Ah, you rotten bastard.
40:46You've got unfathomed out my mysterious enigmatic quality.
40:49Enigmatic?
40:49Most people resent getting kicked in the teeth.
40:52Being a poorly paid skibby to the head of the house,
40:54and an unpaid mistress to his son is sheer bleeding bliss.
40:57A girl couldn't ask for more.
40:58Damn right she couldn't.
40:59Look where I got you.
41:00Tread the primrose path, lass.
41:02And you two can wind up with a part share in 47 quid under the clock.
41:06And me.
41:09And a part share in you.
41:16Rachel.
41:20Good God, Rachel, you can't.
41:22There's no can't about it.
41:23It's what I'm going to do.
41:25But...
41:27It...
41:28It's murder.
41:30It's not a person.
41:31It's a thing, that's all.
41:33I'm just going to have it extracted like a rotten tooth.
41:38Don't.
41:42Oh, you great baby.
41:45Do you think I'd have come here if there'd been another single soul I could turn to?
41:48I haven't got the business.
41:52I'll have to leave the flat now he's not paying the rent.
41:56I haven't got anything.
41:58Good life all gone, eh?
41:59I only ever got within sniffing distance.
42:04Oh, Jacob, help me, please.
42:05If it's the last thing you ever do for me, help me.
42:08Help me.
42:08Help me.
42:08I've got 20 pounds.
42:20I haven't got 20 pence.
42:25Why, Nick?
42:48I'll tell you why.
42:51Why?
42:54I'll tell you why.
42:58In the middle of the immense, empty ice palace, there was a frozen lake, cracked in a thousand pieces.
43:07And each piece was so like the other that it appeared, a masterwork of art.
43:17And in the middle of the frozen lake sat the Snow Queen.
43:23And she used to say that she then sat in the mirror of reason.
43:28That it was the only one in the world.
43:31Hans Anderson?
43:32Mm-hmm.
43:34Perfect memory you have.
43:36The beautiful things.
43:37Both verbal and visual.
43:40Woodhead?
43:41It was both.
43:43If it goes up brew, they'll be on top of Woodhead Moor.
43:45They say it's all reed up there today.
43:48When was it?
43:49All reed?
43:49Yes, it was.
43:52I just wanted to know.
43:55Did it matter to you?
43:57Every second should.
43:59Or it's a pathetic waste.
44:02I wish I could love you.
44:05If I did, I'd go right down on my knees and beg you to marry me.
44:07No.
44:11No.
44:11No, if I really loved you, I couldn't do that.
44:16I'm finding this new engaging honesty engaging.
44:19It's not meant to be anything.
44:21For the first time in my life, I'm with a man I'm not trying to impress.
44:24You'd have suffocated being married to my father.
44:26Why?
44:27Well, that for a lifetime.
44:29After he'd given you everything that you think that you want, what then?
44:34I mean, what beyond that?
44:37I don't know, Nick.
44:38I've never seen beyond that.
44:40I've never even been there.
44:42You and I should have been born the other way around.
44:44You'd have made the perfect daughter of a landed gentleman.
44:47A Skyoness.
44:49Like Lioness.
44:50With a killer instinct.
44:51The survival instinct.
44:56I loathe having to come here today.
44:59I hated you.
45:02Now, I'm glad I did.
45:03So am I.
45:04How strange
45:07that we should reach the point of closest understanding
45:12just when we'll never see each other again.
45:14We won't.
45:15No.
45:18No.
45:18Oh, a towel.
45:43Oh, no.
45:46Nowhere to find me, then.
45:49What's up?
45:50Nowt.
45:52Been having a go at you, Ashi.
45:55Take no heed.
45:56Fully paid up member of the bitches' union, that one.
45:59With such a sister, better to have been born an only child.
46:03I've come to say I'll take it, that job at the pub.
46:07This is a sudden change of heart.
46:09A couple of hours ago, wild bloody ossies
46:11wouldn't drag you off this muck tip.
46:14I don't care if I never see it again.
46:18So he's got a head on his shoulders at last.
46:22See the November handicap through, and then off.
46:25Hate-tiddly-hate, eh?
46:27Bum-bum.
46:27Right?
46:28Sure, it's bloody right.
46:29Well, that's the day it's settled, then.
46:37Well, there's to be no violence, mind.
46:39Respect for law and order.
46:40They do right by us.
46:41We'll do right by them.
46:43Well, you are getting police permission, aren't you?
46:44Yes, councillor, we are getting the police okay.
46:47Everything's being done right side of the blanket.
46:50But if the water's still too warm for you,
46:52then jump bloody, jump in.
46:53I just want to be sure everything's being conducted
46:55in a proper fashion.
46:57I do have my position to consider, you know.
46:59Yeah, down on your hands and knees,
47:00licking the boots of authority.
47:02Now, look at...
47:02Now, give over, Ron.
47:04He has come in with us after all,
47:05and he is helping spread the word around.
47:07Four weeks from today, we want them there.
47:10Every man jack we can muster.
47:12They'll be there.
47:13Don't you fret.
47:14I'll do what I can, love.
47:17Aye, I know you will.
47:21Well, we are told to use any means we can
47:23to get to the right end.
47:25Even him.
47:27We're really going to pitch you now.
47:29We always have.
47:31No, love.
47:32This time's different.
47:34Before, I've done damn all but talk.
47:36Not this time.
47:38We'll show them bastards, right?
47:40We shall, love.
47:41Love.
47:44For an abortion?
47:49Only 20 pounds.
47:51God almighty!
47:53So what was she so afraid of, then?
47:55Losing a girlish figure?
47:57Having a kid never did me any harm.
47:59Well, I tried to talk her out of it,
48:01but she made her mind up.
48:04She doesn't want it.
48:05So suddenly, we're a charity
48:07for every silly bitch
48:08who hasn't the sense to keep her legs crossed.
48:10And what's wrong with your old man?
48:12Since when was he short of a bob or two?
48:14Oh, he's finished with her.
48:18Anyway,
48:19the kid had nothing to do with him.
48:24Wasn't his.
48:25Well, who the...
48:26Who?
48:35Who?
48:36Who?
48:36Nick.
48:37Nick.
