00:00Norman Stanley Fletcher
00:05Norman Stanley Fletcher
00:06You have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court
00:09And it is now my duty to pass sentence
00:16You are an habitual criminal
00:18Who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard
00:21And presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner
00:25Be therefore constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences
00:32You will go to prison for five years
00:50Er, Fletch?
00:51I'm thinking, Navel
00:54Thinking?
00:55Yeah, thinking
00:57I realise, Warren, that to you and some of the blokes in here
00:59That may be an alien pastime
01:01But those of us who are endowed with a bit of grey matter where it matters
01:05Namely up here
01:07Preserve our identity and our sanity in this place by thinking
01:11But what are you thinking?
01:13At the moment I'm thinking
01:15Why don't this bloke, Warren, naff off and leave me alone?
01:18Well, look, Fletch, I realise you're a man of...
01:23Um...
01:24Intellect?
01:25Intellect, yeah
01:26And erudition
01:27Well, that'll all, Fletch, if you say so
01:29That's why I wanted to have a word, see
01:31I've got this letter, see
01:32Oh, yeah?
01:33Oh, yes, yes, from a woman, I would assess
01:37That's right, how can you tell?
01:38Well, it's the handwriting, innit?
01:39It's a female...
01:40It's a female...
02:01Yeah, it's the female handwriting
02:03And er, judging by the stationery and the er...
02:06The perfume
02:07I would say it was a woman of very little sophistication or class
02:10That's right!
02:11It's from the wife
02:12I didn't mean to infer that
02:14I'm sorry
02:15Oh, no, no, no
02:16You're a clever bloke, Fletch
02:17That's why I wanted your help, see
02:19Oh, I see
02:20Another one
02:21Advice you want, innit?
02:22Advice to the love lawn
02:23You want me to assess the situation
02:25And compose an appropriate response, is that it?
02:28No, it's simpler than that
02:29I just wanted you to read it to me
02:31Now, you see, this letter of Warren's is typical
02:36It's very, very typical
02:37This is your classic wife's letter
02:39When you've been inside between eight months and a year
02:41That sort of period, you see
02:42I mean, the women, they make all these marital vows, don't they?
02:45But you've got to be around to make sure
02:47That they do love honour and obey, innit?
02:49Right
02:50Oh, true
02:51Yeah, cos, you see, after a while
02:52They get these restless urges
02:54And having got restless
02:55Chances are they weaken
02:57And gets a bit naughty, you know what I mean?
02:59I'll kill her
03:00Yeah, right, yeah
03:01I'll throttle her
03:02Yes, yes, that is one method, yes
03:03But we are looking for something
03:05We are looking for something
03:06A little more constructive, ain't we, eh?
03:08Besides which, you're locked up in here
03:09And she's up in Bolton, right?
03:10No
03:11It's visiting day next week
03:12I know, but if you were to strangle her on visiting day
03:14Chances are you'd lose at least half your remission
03:16Well, I'm just saying
03:19Oh, he's so impulsive
03:20I'm just saying
03:21Oh, leave off, Warren
03:22Leave it to Fletch, he knows, don't he?
03:24Thank you very much, Tolly, for that vote of confidence
03:26Now then, where was I?
03:27Just getting to the naughty bit
03:28Oh, yeah
03:29Now, having got naughty, they gets guilty, right?
03:31So, in my reply, which I've drafted here
03:34I've sought to achieve subtlety with strength
03:37See what I mean?
03:38An outward display of affection
03:40But carrying with it the hint of menace, right?
03:43Oh, yeah
03:44My darling
03:45I realise that these are difficult times for you
03:48Here we are, men without women
03:50And you are women without men
03:52With all your attendant frustrations
03:54See? It's a nice phrase, that, isn't it?
03:55Well chosen
03:56Yeah, got it out of Reader's Digest
03:58I realise, my love, that it is a lot to ask
04:01To ask you to wait for me
04:03But I will be upset, dearest one
04:05If I hear about you having a nibble
04:07Of something as how you shouldn't
04:11In other words, dear heart
04:12I have friends on the outside
04:14Who have friends, who have friends
04:16And any word of anky-panky
04:18Will be followed by swift and merciless retribution
04:21Oh, yes
04:22I hope the weather is fine
04:23And you are feeling well in yourself
04:26Subtlety with strength
04:27Oh, that's great, Fletch
04:28I told you what
04:29And Fletch knows
04:30Yeah, well, it's just
04:31My wife's sister lives in Sit Cup
04:33Sometimes we stay there
04:38Or drop in for a cuppa
04:40When we've been to the coast
04:41Anyhow, once we was there
04:46And while my wife was upstairs
04:48Powdering her nose
04:50Prior to going to see
04:52Paint Your Wagon by the Sit Cup Operatic
04:54Her sister touched me
04:59Where? Where?
05:04In the kitchen
05:07In the kitchen
05:09She got very heated
05:11Had me pressed up against the aga
05:14I think your aga got a bit of heated annoying
05:19She was saying
05:21She was saying how she'd always fancied me
05:23She knew it was wrong
05:25Being as if she was the wife's sister
05:27But she could not no longer control her true feelings
05:31I had to say to her
05:33Now listen Gwendolyn
05:35That's her name, see Gwendolyn
05:38Now listen Gwendolyn
05:40This is no way to behave
05:41It's not right
05:42It isn't decent
05:43And what happened
05:45Must never happen again
05:47But nothing did that
05:49All you did was give her a lecture
05:51Nooo
05:52That wasn't until an hour after
05:54When we was getting out of bed
05:59What point are you trying to raise Einstein?
06:01He's in a different time scale from the rest of us, you know
06:04His head's about 20 minutes slow of him
06:07I want you to copy out these letters in your own handwriting, right?
06:12And send them off a bit sharpish
06:14So that they have read them by the time they come up here on visiting day, right?
06:17And don't forget to put the names of your loved one at the top, see?
06:19Like my beloved Iris
06:21That's it
06:22My darling Norma
06:24My dearest Trevor
06:25All right?
06:30I've no evidence that my iris has ever straight from the straight and narrow
06:35Haven't you?
06:36Well, I should send it in any case
06:37I mean, a stitch in time saves holding your trousers, doesn't it?
06:40Right, then I'll post it
06:42Yeah, no point in leaving it till the last minute, is there, eh?
06:45Oh, there we go
06:47Oi, oi, oi, oi
06:48Hey, oi, just a minute
06:49Just a minute
06:50Haven't we forgotten something?
06:51Yeah, fair's fair
06:52Come on, cough up lads
06:53Thank you
06:54Go, Fletch
06:55Go
06:56Hey, Fletch
06:57You got no problems on this square then?
06:59No, no, no
07:00Well, I've been married a bit longer than you blokes, ain't I, eh?
07:02She knows her place
07:05Oh, dear
07:08Doesn't she get upset you keep going inside all the time?
07:11I do not go inside all the time
07:13Oh, you are fairly consistent
07:15And she's got house and three kids to run
07:17I don't know how she does it, I just don't know how she does it
07:19Oh, well, I'm not saying it ain't a bit hard for her at times
07:22For instance, a few weeks ago now, er, she had to build a new coal bunker for herself
07:26I mean, now that's, er, that's no job for a woman, is it, eh?
07:28Oh, dear
07:29You mean she had to mix the concrete and all that?
07:31Oh, no, no, no, no, her mother came over and did that for her
07:33Oh, dear
07:34She did that for her
07:35Oh, she gives you that
07:36Come on, now, come on, lads
07:37Come on, get yourself off, eh?
07:39Good night, sir
07:40Good night, little man
07:41Well, now, Fletcher
07:42I trust you've employed your time usefully tonight?
07:45Oh, yes, yes, just giving the lads the benefit of my experience, Mr Barraclough, yeah?
07:49Oh, yes, yes, I've heard your opinion is much sought after in this prison
07:52Yes, Mr, er, Gillespie, the welfare officer
07:55He was saying that he's running out of customers
07:57Oh, yeah, well, welfare officers, they're a bit like the Padre, ain't they, really, eh?
08:01Yeah, can't be trusted, can they?
08:03No, well, I think you're being a bit harsh on a very well-meaning body of men and women, you know
08:09Oh, I'm not saying that they're not well-intentioned, yes, it's just that, er, well, the lads like to bring me their problems
08:14You know, I, er, I speak their language, you know what I mean?
08:17By the way, how are, er, how are things with your old lady, then?
08:20Oh, well, er, difficult, you know, Fletcher, yes
08:24Well, they've been better since you and me had that last little chat, but, er, oh, no, they could be easier
08:29You know, she's not an easy woman to live with, my wife
08:32No, no, so a lot of people told me, no, no
08:37Is it, er, still the postman, is it?
08:39Oh, no, God forbid, no
08:41No, no, he's in the sorting office in Carlisle, no
08:44Oh, they sorted him out, you know
08:46Hey, sorted him out
08:48Pardon?
08:49Sorry, no, I mustn't, I mustn't, I mustn't, I mustn't go at your expense, sir
08:52No, no, you shouldn't
08:53No
08:54Oh, well, I'm afraid I shall have to ask you a few more
08:56Yes, yes, yes, time away, yeah
08:57I would, you know
08:58You know, Fletcher, this is the...
09:00This is the part of the job that I hate, you know
09:03Locking men up, caging them in
09:05Yeah, it is a pity, too
09:07Just when the good telly's starting and all, it's a shame, ain't it, eh?
09:10All we ever see is the news, innit, eh? News and nationwide
09:13What's the good of bleeding nationwide when you're stuck in here, eh?
09:17No, I've never got used to bolting these doors, you know
09:20I think of all of you locked in these little cells, you know
09:25I think of me going out of here and...
09:28Well, going home, you know, to my little house
09:31And my wife, who's waiting for me
09:40What's the matter, Mr Bearcloth?
09:42I sometimes wish I was in here with you lot
09:45Oh, that, Johnson, you're not better than that, get him no more
09:54He needs to get your hair cut
09:57Hear that, get your hair cut today
09:59Hello, Warren
10:03What, read it out to you, you mean?
10:05Yeah, all right, yeah
10:06Is it from the wife, is it?
10:08Yeah, no perfume anywhere
10:10Oh, yeah, it's very distinctive, innit, yeah, very distinctive
10:13I think this kills 99% of household germs, doesn't it?
10:17Don't you like it? Should I tell her to change it?
10:19Oh, no, no, no, no
10:20You're safe from other men while she wears this, man
10:22Right, ready?
10:24Yeah
10:25My dearest bunny
10:26Bunny?
10:27Bunny Warren
10:28Oh, yeah, yeah, that's good, innit, yeah, Bunny Warren, yeah
10:33Thanks for your letter, but you must put these silly doubts out of your mind
10:39Here we are
10:40I spend my nights watching the box on which is placed your picture
10:44Which is placed your picture, which I cut out the Manchester Evening News
10:48It is the one of you resisting arrest
10:53But I have cut off the two policemen
10:57I left the Alsatian on as I know how fond you are of animals
11:03I did go out Sunday, I admit, but only up your mother's
11:07Who has had to go into Salford again with her feet
11:10How does she usually go in there, irons and needles?
11:15No, what she means is that she's had to go back to at Chiropodis like
11:19She's always had these feet, you see
11:21Oh, I see
11:22What, the same ones you mean?
11:24Anyhow, never mind the expense
11:26I am coming up visiting day to put your mind at rest
11:29I will get Saturday morning off at the laundry
11:32I miss you and think of us when you was at home and you used to take mine
11:37Well, I used to what?
11:42Well, it's a bit personal, an expert, you know what I mean?
11:46I don't think I should really read it out, you know, loud, not in front of me
11:54Well, you know, it's intimate, you know
11:55What is it? What's she saying?
11:56No, you read it. Oh, you can't read, can you?
11:58No, well, what she says, um, how can I, how can I tell you?
12:02Um, she, she says she misses your, um
12:06Er
12:08No, no, no, no, er
12:10No, put it another way, er
12:12Which you obviously did
12:16What she's saying is she wishes, she wishes that you were at home providing
12:20Forer
12:22Oh
12:23Oh, good
12:25Anything else?
12:26Anything else would be a bit of an anti-climax, wouldn't it?
12:29No, all she says is, I wish she was here
12:31Oh, well, I must close now and get on my lover
12:36I must close now and get on my lover, see?
12:42See you Saturday, Elaine, right?
12:44Oh, mwah!
12:46Oh, yes, she's a good girl, my Elaine
12:48No problems there, eh?
12:49What do you think, Fletch?
12:50Very nice letter, that is
12:51It's very nice letter
12:52That's very heartfelt, innit, eh?
12:53Yeah
12:54She's coming up Saturday and all, isn't she?
12:55Aye, so's Heslop's missus
12:56All the way from Kent
12:57And Tolly's wife
12:58Hey
12:59You're the clever lad, Fletch
13:00Yeah, I will
13:01Is your old lady coming, is she?
13:02Yeah, she'll be here, yeah
13:03Have you had the letter?
13:04No, I haven't, uh
13:05I haven't actually had a letter, but, er
13:07But she'll be here, yeah
13:08I think, er, Luke Warms' fella's coming up and all
13:10Oh, is he?
13:11Oh, yeah
13:12Of course, Luke Warms, he's got a different, he's got a different problem from the rest of you, eh?
13:16Because it's his Trevor that's the insecure one in that partnership, innit, eh?
13:19Because there's 600 men in this prison, innit, eh?
13:23Whereas you're all worried about what your wives are up to on the outside
13:26He's worried about what Luke Warms up to on the inside, eh?
13:32Morning, Mr Mackay
13:33Thanks again, mate, see ya
13:37Thanks?
13:38What was all that about?
13:40Oh, that was just a bit of, er, friendly advice, Mr Mackay, that's all
13:43Just a bit of friendly advice on matters of the arts, between him and me, you know
13:47Tell me, Fletcher, is it true that this is the office of Slade Prison's Miss Lonely Hearts?
13:52Is that why you're here, then? Problems of that nature, isn't there?
13:55I have no problems of that nature
13:57Oh, come off it, Mr Mackay
13:59All screws, beg your pardon, all prison officers have problems in that area, don't they?
14:03I mean, matrimonially, you and me is very similar, you know
14:06Because, while we're both stuck in here, we can't be sure what our old ladies are up to, can we?
14:10I mean, it's no difference, is there?
14:11There is a major difference, Fletcher
14:14Your wives are criminals' wives
14:17They belong to the criminal classes with all their inherent traits of slovenliness and promiscuity
14:22Our wives are the wives of uniformed men
14:26Used to a life of service, duty, decency and moral fibre
14:31My house, my house reflects my wife
14:34Big is it?
14:35Sportless
14:42And when I get home within the evening, my uniform for the next day has been cleaned and pressed
14:46Jacket with buttons gleaming, trousers with razor sharp creases and shirt crisply laundered
14:51What does that prove?
14:52Just proves your old ladies having it away with a man from a dry cleaner
14:57I'm not going to rise to your bait, Fletcher
15:00Because it is obvious that your cynicism derives from some bitter personal experience of your own
15:06No, no, no, no, no, no, nothing wrong with my marriage
15:08Me and my missus have always got on very well together
15:11You've spent half your married life in prison, man
15:14Oh, yeah, well, perhaps absence makes the heart grow fonder in our case
15:18Anyway, I think your old lady would be very glad of a bit of a rest from all that cleaning and pressing, wouldn't she?
15:22My wife has never had any desire other than to be by my side
15:26Before prison service, you know, Fletcher, I was in the army
15:29I was a drill sergeant in the Argyll and Southern Highlanders
15:33I'd never have guessed that
15:37And even though I was posted to some far-flung places, Mari would always be with me
15:43Seventeen years of domestic contentment
15:47Drill sergeant, was it?
15:49That's right, Fletcher, drill sergeant
15:52Do everything by numbers, did you?
15:56I refuse to rise to your bait, Fletcher
16:04And it is naive of you to assume that I would
16:08Even we were all lady numbers, was it?
16:12I am about to make passionate love to you
16:14Stand by your bait
16:20Wait for it, wait for it
16:22Two, three knickers down
16:24It couldn't be much further this place, could it?
16:42I've had to come from Vanden, I had to beat Euston by A
16:46There was no buffet on the train
16:48Never is, is there?
16:50Or if there is, it's yesterday's sausage rolls
16:52I've only come from Bolton, but it's taken me all morning to go here
16:56Change at Manchester, change at Carlisle
16:59At least when he was in Strangeways, I only had a bus ride
17:02Oh, it's us that suffer, Chuck
17:04Us that has to cope with no money, a family to run and no man about the house
17:09Yeah, but they think you have got a man about the house
17:12I've come all the way from Kent because of this suspicious mind
17:15I got this letter
17:17Me too
17:18Yeah, but what on earth, listen to this
17:20I realise, my love, that it is a lot to ask
17:24To ask you to wait for me
17:26But I will be upset, dearest one
17:28If I hear about you having a nibble of something you shouldn't
17:31Here, wait a minute, look at that
17:34Just down, go on
17:35Hang on, it's insane
17:36Cheeky, careful
17:39You know what they've done, don't you?
17:40I won't get my own time
17:41I won't get my own time
17:42I won't get my own time
17:43If you run away, you don't make my own time
17:44I'm gonna come right
17:45I'm gonna call it
17:46It won't start
17:57You know what they do
17:58I can see my own time
17:59What the fuck is doing?
18:01A woman's blood
18:02And then you dislike
18:03I have to smile
18:04And to your second then
18:05A human race
18:07boxer
18:10If you don't find me
18:11Do you want to have a look, Fletch?
18:13I'll see you soon enough, won't I?
18:15I'll remember what she looks like.
18:16Oh, my, now, shut your little bit of order.
18:18Sit down, come on, settle down.
18:20It's worked it sweet, then, Fletch.
18:22Kent's a long way, you know.
18:24My chair has come all the way from Southport.
18:27He's a watch repairer.
18:29Well, he didn't watch repair us once.
18:30Oh, yeah? Now you're doing time for it, aren't you?
18:34Did you hear that one, Mr White?
18:35Oh, yes, very funny, Fletcher, very funny indeed.
18:38Well, you know, it's nice to see you all in such high spirits.
18:40I'm sure I can smell my Elaine's perfume.
18:43No, no, that's the sheep dip from the prison farmer.
18:58Ingrid?
18:59I like that.
19:02Where's your mother?
19:07I said, where's your mother?
19:08She couldn't come, Dad.
19:11Well, she's not ill, is she?
19:13No, Dad, she...
19:17She what?
19:21She's found another man, Dad.
19:23Morose, you say, Mr Faircloth?
19:33Oh, yes, sir, yes.
19:34Well, I've got the welfare officer's report here, sir.
19:37Now, Mr Gillespie seems to think that, psychologically,
19:40Fletcher is overcompensating for the traumatic shock...
19:43Oh, don't spark that university claptrap at me.
19:47Young Gillespie, what does he know?
19:48Oh, these lads come in here with no experience of life.
19:50I mean, how can they have?
19:52Not two minutes ago, they were in rag parades,
19:54blowing clarinets and throwing bags of flour at old ladies.
19:58Yes, Morose, sir, I think you've been a bit harsh
20:02on a very well-meaning body of men, you know.
20:05I mean, after all, Mr Gillespie has done work in the field.
20:08In Wellingarden City?
20:09Hardly a walk on the wild side.
20:13Well, what are you suggesting?
20:15Compassionate parole?
20:16Yeah, well, just for 48 hours, sir,
20:17and let him get his problems sorted out, you know.
20:20After all, he has been married for 24 years.
20:22Oh, I didn't wheel him in.
20:23Very good, sir.
20:24Fletcher?
20:29Now, Fletcher, as we all know,
20:32you've had this domestic, um...
20:34Well, crisis isn't too strong a word, is it?
20:36My wife has scarped, so I think crisis is a very good word, yes.
20:39Oh, she's not actually left you yet, Fletcher.
20:41She's about to.
20:41And what do we know of the other man?
20:43Well, from what I can list it from my oldest,
20:45he's an eating engineer.
20:46You see, we was having this central eating put in,
20:48and obviously he was around the place quite a bit, you know.
20:51Younger man, bitter patter, you know what I mean?
20:53From what I could gather,
20:54a new Ford Capri in mustard yellow with wing mirrors.
20:59Younger man, was he?
21:00Yeah, with wing mirrors.
21:01I mean, it's bound to turn a woman's head, isn't it?
21:04It couldn't be just an infatuation.
21:07No, no, not according to my oldest, Ingrid, no.
21:09She knows the score, my girl.
21:11Apparently they're planning a new life together in Emel Hempstead.
21:14Oh, I know Emel Hempstead.
21:15You passed through it on the table.
21:18You see, it looks quite nice there.
21:19Yes, yes.
21:23Well, the welfare officer seems to think it might help
21:26if we gave compassionate parole.
21:29Parole?
21:29What, you mean, get out, like?
21:31Not so much get out, just go out.
21:33Oh, go out, yeah.
21:3448 hours only.
21:35You'd have to report to the local police on arrival,
21:37but apart from that, the weekend would be your own.
21:40Oh, I suppose it's worth a try, yeah.
21:42Get a decent Sunday dinner, innit?
21:43No, a pleasure if you're going to take that, actually.
21:44No, I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry.
21:46My flippancy was just masking my deep wounds, that's all, sir.
21:51If you think fit, I should go, sir, for the sake of my marriage,
21:53and you will trust in me.
21:57I wonder if Spurs are playing at home.
22:02I've checked in, you know where I live.
22:04Don't have to walk me home, do you?
22:07Don't have my fletch.
22:09Breath of fresh air.
22:10Look, I'm going to see my old lady, it's personal.
22:12It's matters of a personal nature, innit?
22:14That's why I got my parole.
22:16It's the personal nature that concerns me, Fletch.
22:19I want you to greet your wife in a kind, understanding manner.
22:23Don't want you forcing her head through the mangle.
22:26Talk about it, we ain't got a mangle.
22:31Got a washing machine, eh?
22:35Hello, Dad.
22:36Hello, angry.
22:38Is your mother in there, is she?
22:40Yeah.
22:42You, er, know Sergeant Norris, don't you?
22:44Yeah, I met him in court.
22:46Yeah, it's all right, love.
22:47Shall I stay a minute?
22:52Isabel?
22:53Norman.
22:55I've got this, er, this compassionate parole, see?
22:59Yeah, so they told us.
23:01Yeah, well...
23:02There's no need for you to stay, Sergeant Norris, thank you.
23:05Yes, well, I, er, just thought I'd, er...
23:07Yeah, well, there's no need for worries on that score, is there?
23:10So, er, if you'll excuse us.
23:11Yeah, go on, Sergeant, push up, eh?
23:13Leave us alone, eh?
23:13All right, er, I hope everything, er...
23:16Yeah, yeah.
23:16Yeah, well, you know what I mean.
23:18Yes, thanks, yeah.
23:18Hello, Norman.
23:29Hello, darling.
23:29Ah!
23:30It worked, then!
23:35Like a flaming charm!
23:37I knew it would, he did it, Maidstone, I knew it would again!
23:40Like a flaming charm!
23:43She's found another man, Dad!
23:47If you go get your dad's snippers and put the kettle on.
23:49Yeah, and don't be in too much of hurry to come back, neither.
23:52Your mother and I have got a lot of time to make up, haven't we, darling?
23:54It's just like when I was a kid.
23:56If you give me some money, I'll go to the pictures.
23:58Oh, that's a good idea, yeah.
23:59Oh, no, wait a minute.
24:00That's how your little brother was born.
24:02Go on, puddle off, come on.
24:06How you been, eh?
24:07I've been all right, buddy.
24:17You'll have to move, I'm afraid, love.
24:19Oh, yeah.
24:20Won't take long to get to Houston on a Sunday.
24:23I'll give you some apples, a banana and some tangerines.
24:26Oh, what a price they are.
24:27But you need the fruit.
24:28It's good for your complexion.
24:30Yeah.
24:31Oh, you'll have to get shaved, love.
24:33Sergeant Norris will be here soon.
24:36Yeah, I suppose so, yeah.
24:39Oh, it's been lovely having you, Norman.
24:42Oh, darling.
24:44Done me a par a good I can tell you, eh?
24:46Seeing the kids and...
24:48Oh, lovely.
24:49Colour telly.
24:51Home cooking.
24:53Spurs winning at home.
24:54Soft lavatory paper.
25:01Well, it's all here when you come out.
25:03Just bide your time, love.
25:04Yeah.
25:05I'll tell you one thing, girl.
25:07I'm not going back inside after this stretch.
25:10You've said that before.
25:11No, no, I mean it this time.
25:13I mean it.
25:14There's a load of kids in there these days.
25:17Talk about a generation gap.
25:18I'm a bleeding father figure in there.
25:20I am now.
25:20No, it's been a mugs game in my life, really.
25:25Seeing you and seeing the kids this weekend.
25:29Realising I'm missing them growing up.
25:32Well, all the things this weekend's given me.
25:35I'll tell you one thing.
25:37The best things in life ain't free.
25:40But the best thing in life is being free.
25:43Oh, Norman.
25:44You say such lovely things.
25:47What made you think of that?
25:48I didn't.
25:50Randolph Scott just said it before you come in.
25:55Beep! Beep!
26:13You all right, Fletch?
26:16What?
26:16Well, listen, me and the lads just wanted to say how sorry we are.
26:23Sorry, Fletch.
26:23Sorry, Fletch.
26:24Sorry, Fletch.
26:25I mean, I know we laughed about it last week, but you know, well, look, the fact that you're
26:30not so clever after all, it just makes you human like the rest of us.
26:35Oh, yeah.
26:35Let me ask you something, Bunny.
26:40What did you do this weekend?
26:42What?
26:42I'll tell you what you did.
26:43You did exactly what you did last weekend, didn't you, eh?
26:46You had a freezing cold shower, you polished your shoes, you washed your vest out, you had
26:50your dinner, you had another freezing cold shower, and you lay on your bunk all evening
26:54picking your nose, right?
26:55Some of us, some of us was in the pub, or eating roast beef, or watching Spurs when at
27:04home, or having a sing-song with their friends and relatives.
27:09Or lying in a big, crisp bed, with their big, crisp old lady.
27:19Have a banana.
27:23All right, let me hang it up.
27:26Back to sales now.
27:28Come on, Warren.
27:29Hurry it on.
27:33Well, you can see a difference in Fletcher, you know.
27:35Well, I think Mr. Venable sending him home has made him realize what he's been missing.
27:40No, it suddenly dawned on him he's been on a mugs game all these years.
27:44Oh, yes.
27:45He's had the cockiness knocked out of him.
27:47We've seen the last of his leery insolence.
27:51You can't beat the system, Mr. Barakwalt.
28:00I'm sorry.
28:05I'm sorry.
