00:00I'm going straight. I'm straight as an arrow. I'll pay the price and don't the time.
00:23I'm going straight. I am. But I'm straight and narrow. And I don't mean straight back to crime.
00:53All right, Mr. Ackroyd. Norman, please. Come in. A cup of tea?
01:01You can have your work cut out with him. Who?
01:04Ackroyd. Do you know him?
01:06Yeah, I met him in here last week. He's off his rock, you know.
01:09Oh. He said to me last week, on the nose, four o'clock, Sedgefield, lady of the lake, bleeding horse fell at the water jump.
01:16You have enough money to fritter on horses, do you?
01:20No, no. I didn't say I bet upon the horse, did I? No, no, no. Heaven forfend. No.
01:24I'm just saying his advice is idiotic. What's he done, anyhow?
01:28None of your business.
01:30Oh. I thought we had a feeling of trust and confidence between us, you and me.
01:33Not when it comes to breaking a confidence of one of my other clients.
01:36Oh, all right. Pleaser, joyful. Pleaser, joyful. I shall find out down the black line, anyhow.
01:41So, you have enough money to fritter on drink, do you?
01:44No, no, no. Now, I go into the Black Lion to purchase my favourite potato crisp.
01:49Smoky Mountain bacon flavour.
01:51Price 7p. I know it's frivolous, but we only live one stump.
01:55I will say one thing for our departed friend. He's managed to hold down a job for 11 weeks now.
02:01Oh, yes. I thought that'd come up. I thought you'd bring that up. What job?
02:04Doesn't matter what job. Yes, it does. What job?
02:06He's an assistant park keeper.
02:08Oh, well, he's probably got the qualifications, hasn't he, eh?
02:11I mean, he's probably got a university degree, know what I mean?
02:14I mean, it takes a keen mind, doesn't it, eh? To oil the swings.
02:18To check the radius of the holes in the putting green every week.
02:21It doesn't take a keen mind, Norman, just the willingness and the guts to seek at what you're offered.
02:25Oh, yeah. This ain't sugared, is it?
02:27It's not stirred.
02:28Yes, I thought it wasn't.
02:30Have you got any of those, er...
02:36Have you got any of those Lincoln creams left?
02:41Can I say something to you, Norman?
02:43Can I say something to you? They're Osbournes.
02:46You have a very low opinion about the people.
02:49No, I don't. I just have a low opinion of Osbournes, that's all.
02:52You smoke too much, you know.
02:54I know.
02:55Have your husband got a job yet?
02:57Not yet.
02:58Well, that is tragic, isn't it?
02:59I mean, cos he has got qualifications, hasn't he?
03:01You'd be better off trying to place him rather than me, you know?
03:04I mean, no-one's gonna do me a favour, are they?
03:06Who'd want to, eh?
03:07Would you rather still be doing porridge?
03:09No, no.
03:10But at least when I was doing porridge, I had a goal.
03:12You know what I mean?
03:13It was called getting out.
03:14It kept you going.
03:15It was sufficient unto itself.
03:16But now I am out, well, it's a bit of a letdown, know what I mean?
03:19But you've coped with it before.
03:20It's not the first time you've come out.
03:22No, but it's the first time I've gone straight, isn't it, eh?
03:24Previously, I've always been looking forward to a bit of skullduggery, haven't I?
03:27I mean, you have a purpose in life, don't you?
03:30Not to get caught.
03:31Even if you're not doing anything at the moment,
03:33you're always planning that little jackpot round the corner, aren't you, eh?
03:36All sitting round the kitchen table of an evening, me and the lads,
03:39few bottles of pale ale, fish and chips, dinky toys, you know what I mean?
03:43What are the dinky toys for?
03:45Well, you know, one for the getaway car, one for the baby.
03:47Oh, you were never in that league.
03:50No, no, but you can dream, can't you?
03:52Pipe dreams, maybe, but it kept you going.
03:55Look, you have more resilience than most.
03:57I know you can stick at a job if I can find you one.
03:59I've already been in touch with some of our voluntary associates.
04:02Oh, don't bother. Don't bother.
04:04I mean, I know they mean well, but all these do-gooders, they're all the same, aren't they?
04:07They all read The Guardian, don't they?
04:09They all support abortion law reform.
04:12They all live in Hampstead, they're all philanthropists in the pub Sunday lunchtime, aren't they?
04:17That's a very sweeping and stupid generalisation about a group of people who want to help, and do help.
04:21People like you to help yourself.
04:23Ha! They helped Nosher Kelly to help himself.
04:25He helped himself with two of the office typewriters, didn't he?
04:28I bet they'd like to call him a few names after that.
04:31Trouble was they couldn't, cos he pinched the swear box and all.
04:34All right, all right. What's your alternative?
04:37Would you rather sit on your backside round the kitchen table playing with your dinky toys?
04:41No, if you put it as succinctly as that, I suppose I wouldn't.
04:44No, no, no, I'm nothing if not a realist.
04:46Dortmund, I understand your problems.
04:49You've decided to take a certain route in life and you've come up against a no-entry sign.
04:54You feel impotent.
04:55Leave my sex life out of this, please.
04:57I'm not talking about sex, I'm talking about work.
05:00But the two are comparable.
05:02You feel impotent because you're not functioning as a man.
05:05And the best thing I can do for you is to fix you up with a good, solid job.
05:09Oh, that's the best thing you can do for me.
05:11That's a pity.
05:12Cos if I had a choice, I'd soon have a bit of the other, normally.
05:30Sorry, we have no rooms.
05:42Pardon?
05:43I suggest you try the Ilfra Coombe two doors down.
05:45Or failing that, the Sussex on Parade Street.
05:47No, no, I haven't come about accommodation. I'll come to see Mr McEwan, the owner.
05:50Why?
05:51I think that's between him and me, don't you, miss?
05:54Do you have an appointment?
05:57Yes, name of Fletcher, yes. It's about a position.
06:00Oh, the Knight Porter's job.
06:03Well, it says Knight Security Officer here.
06:05That's right, Porter. Just a minute.
06:07Pardon me, how do we get to Covent Garden?
06:09Covent Garden is Bakerloo line, go through the Piccadilly Circus, change on the Piccadilly line through to Covent Garden.
06:14Oh, change of Piccadilly Circus.
06:15That's right, get on to the Piccadilly line, there's two stops, Leicester Square and Covent Garden.
06:19Thanks.
06:20American, are you?
06:21Canadian.
06:22Toronto.
06:23Yes, all that scenic grandeur, yes. The Great Plains, the Rockies at dawn, ice hockey in the evening.
06:28Love.
06:29Thanks.
06:30Bye.
06:31Bye.
06:32You're like Covent Garden, finest fruit and vegetable in the world now.
06:38The market isn't in Covent Garden anymore.
06:40No?
06:41It's in Nine Elms, Battersea.
06:43Where have you been for the last few years?
06:45Canada.
06:46Oh, Mr. McKeown.
06:47Hmm?
06:48This man says he has an appointment with you.
06:49Oh, Mr. Fletcher, is it?
06:50Yeah.
06:51Oh, do come through.
06:52Thank you, sir.
06:53Miss?
06:54It's bitter, isn't it?
06:55Yeah.
06:56Mind you, it's pretty parky in here, isn't it?
06:57Yes, yes.
06:58I could put that gas fire on, but you see, I'm in and out all morning.
07:01I've got a cardigan in here somewhere.
07:02Oh, don't bother, sir.
07:03It probably wouldn't fit me anyhow.
07:04I meant for me.
07:05Oh, for you, yes, that's it.
07:06I feel it more than most.
07:07I spent my early years in Africa.
07:08Niasterland, as they then called it.
07:09Of course, it's now Malawi.
07:10Yes, yes.
07:11Everything's changed, hasn't it?
07:12Yes, they got back to see power station up at Covent Garden now, haven't they?
07:14Yes.
07:15Yes.
07:16Now, I've spoken to Mrs. Chapman about you, and she probably didn't know that.
07:18Yes.
07:19Yes.
07:20I've spoken to Mrs. Chapman about you, and she probably didn't know that.
07:22Yes.
07:23Yes.
07:24Yes.
07:25Yes.
07:26Yes.
07:27Yes.
07:28Yes.
07:29Now, I've spoken to Mrs. Chapman about you, and she probably told you, I help out the
07:32probation service when I can on a voluntary basis.
07:34Oh, yes.
07:35Where would we be without you lot, sir?
07:37A lot of people, you know, think I'm asking for trouble, quite frankly.
07:40But I've never had cause to regret, except on two unfortunate occasions.
07:45Oh, dear.
07:46Oh, well, don't worry, sir.
07:47I won't let you down.
07:48Should you see fit, that is.
07:49Allow me, sir.
07:50Oh, thank you very much.
07:52Ah, thank you.
07:53Well, now.
07:54I may be old-fashioned in this day and age, but I like to give my fellow man the benefit
08:00of the doubt.
08:01Call it instinct, call it experience, but I'm generally able to assess a man.
08:05It was the same in Africa.
08:07I had to hire natives fresh from the bush.
08:09And basically, I had to judge at a glance whether these chappies were the sort who would,
08:14do an honest day's work, or run up with your livestock.
08:17But I never had cause to regret, except on two unfortunate of you.
08:22Oh, dear.
08:23Well, don't worry, sir.
08:24If you give me the break I so sorely need, I promise I will not run off with your livestock, sir.
08:29Do sit down.
08:30Thank you, sir.
08:31Come over here.
08:32Oh, right.
08:35See that?
08:36It's a Rowlandson, is it, sir?
08:38That.
08:39Oh, that's a chub, sir.
08:42Wall safe.
08:43Wall safe, yes, sir.
08:44The keys are in that drawer.
08:45Oh, yes.
08:46In that drawer.
08:47They'll be there every time you're here, on your own.
08:51Not that a chappie with your experience would probably need keys, eh?
08:55Clickety-click, open sesame, what?
08:58Yes, I see, sir.
08:59You're trying to demonstrate your trust in me.
09:00Yes, that's very nice, sir.
09:01But I would be rather a nana, wouldn't I, to turn you over?
09:04I mean, it wouldn't need no Hercule Poirier to finger the prime suspect, would it?
09:08Exactly.
09:09And you have more to lose than most.
09:10Oh, yes, sir.
09:11Yes, don't worry.
09:12I won't blow the job, no.
09:13I quite like the idea of it, actually, yes.
09:15Hotel management, I mean, it could lead to higher things, couldn't it?
09:17I mean, Charles thought he had to start somewhere, didn't he?
09:20And it's warmer than being a night watchman on a building site.
09:23Just.
09:25Farewell, then.
09:26Start tonight.
09:27Oh, yes.
09:28Hours are 11 till 7.
09:29I'll show you where everything is.
09:30We keep the front door locked after midnight,
09:32so anyone later than that will have to ring.
09:34And anyone registering after that
09:36will have to pay for a night's board in advance.
09:38So you'll be handing cash?
09:39Cash, yes, sir, yeah.
09:40Here.
09:41Come along, then.
09:42Time and tide, et cetera, et cetera.
09:43Yes, sir.
09:44Pamela, this is Mr Fletcher.
09:45Fletcher, this is Pamela.
09:46Pamela.
09:47Oh, and one thing I forgot.
09:48Have you got a dark suit?
09:49Black or navy blue?
09:50Oh, doesn't that go with a job, Vincent?
09:51Well, we've got one, but your predecessor didn't have your statue.
09:53Besides that, when he left, he took it with him.
09:56That and my portable fan heater.
09:58Oh, dear, dear.
09:59And you need one of those more than most, I think, don't you?
10:05Pamela, you know my philosophy.
10:07And it's not going to change just because of one or two regrettable incidents.
10:11Oh, dear.
10:12Don't worry, sir.
10:13I have a suitable suit.
10:14It's the one I go to court in, Miss Exley.
10:16Or used to.
10:17I think you should know that I've lately been released from one of her majesty's prisons.
10:20Well, I really didn't think you'd been in Canada.
10:22You know the score, Pamela.
10:23You know my policy.
10:24Judge not lest you be judged.
10:26Yes, Mr McEwen.
10:27If we don't show trust, et cetera, et cetera.
10:30Yes, Mr McEwen.
10:31Just wait here at Tick Fletcher, would you?
10:34Just need to check over a couple of things.
10:36Pamela, can you come through, dear?
10:39Oh, Graham.
10:40Stop it.
10:41Not Graham.
10:42Alice there.
10:43Oh, no, it's Brian.
10:44Yeah.
10:45I've only been away a week.
10:46Oh, yeah.
10:47I've only been away a week.
10:48No, no, no, no.
10:49I've only been away a week.
10:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:54Oh, Graham, stop it!
10:59Not Graham.
11:01Alice there.
11:04Oh, no, it's Brian.
11:06Yeah, I've only been away a week.
11:09I knew it was you. You're starving. I heard you packing your heartache.
11:13Give us a kiss, then.
11:14That's not very romantic.
11:15Well, I haven't got time to be romantic.
11:17Well, that's a pity, cos I've got a night stopover.
11:20Have you?
11:20Yeah, then I'll have to be back till 2 o'clock tomorrow.
11:22It means a lie-in and everything.
11:26Not now, you don't.
11:29Cos I'm fixing my dad's thermos.
11:32Thermos?
11:33He's got a job.
11:36Fletcher's got a job?
11:38In an hotel.
11:40Night security officer.
11:42Ah, port-a-like.
11:44Don't call it that, cos he's a bit prickly about his status.
11:48Cos, you know, it's not the most dignified job in the world.
11:50I'm a bit lonely, I should think.
11:52Not much more to do than read magazines and clean shoes.
11:56Well, I hope he sticks at it.
11:57Could be a turning point in his life and ours.
12:00Wow.
12:00We've got the ass to ourself at night.
12:03Lenny, you're always thinking of yourself.
12:07You're not wrong, though, are you?
12:09Oi, never mind all that.
12:13Take your hand off my daughter's left cheek, please.
12:17Hi, Dad.
12:19Look, Len's here.
12:20Oh, yeah.
12:21Oh, yeah.
12:23Don't seem he's never not here.
12:24Every time I walk in the room, he's got some part of your anatomy in the palm of his hand.
12:28How are you, Fletch?
12:29Give them a rub-up, will you, love?
12:31Oh, I don't see why I should.
12:32I mean, that's what you're going to be doing all night at work, innit?
12:35Exactly.
12:35That's why I don't want to do my own.
12:36I've got some pride, innit?
12:38I said, how are you, Fletch?
12:39I heard you, God, but I heard you.
12:41Night stopover, is it?
12:42Oh, that reminds me, the sofa has collapsed, the legs come off.
12:45Oh, that's Lenny's fault.
12:46You know, stay in the night.
12:48Don't blame him.
12:49I don't see how three cushions with a blanket over it can break the sofa.
12:53I don't know what you mean, Dad.
12:55Yes, you do.
12:56We all saw the repeats of cold hits, didn't we?
12:59All I'm saying is keep off it.
13:01I mean, the sofa, I mean.
13:03Till I put the leg back on.
13:04Either that or saw the other for you.
13:08Any tea about?
13:11What's funny about that?
13:12This job, then?
13:13What?
13:14Milestone, innit?
13:15What do you mean?
13:15Thermos.
13:17What?
13:18Well, it must be your first legitimate job in how long, is it?
13:22Ever.
13:24What?
13:25Straight up, you've never had a job before in your life?
13:27No.
13:28Not least you can't the army.
13:29Which we don't, because you was on the fiddle even then.
13:32Do you know, when I was a nipper, all me party dresses was made out of parachute suits.
13:38You wouldn't have complained if you'd ever fallen out the window, would you?
13:40You know, I never realised that you'd never worked.
13:46I didn't think anybody at your age had never worked.
13:48Yes, yes, there's two of us.
13:49Me and the Duke of Edinburgh.
13:52Just shows how difficult it is to change the habits of a lifetime, doesn't it?
13:55Well, I was just saying to Lenny, all credit to you.
13:59Yeah, I know it's not much of a job, but what can you expect?
14:02I mean, when I decide I was going to work, I sat down and I thought I'll work out all
14:05my qualifications that I've earned over the years in chronological order, see?
14:09Do you know what they boil down to?
14:10One driving licence.
14:1345 years on this earth, that's all I've got.
14:15One driving licence.
14:17Even that's got two endorsements.
14:19You ought to get a driving job like me, you know.
14:21I love it, the open road, and there's no gaffers breathing down your neck.
14:24I was thinking of going on to juggernauts.
14:25There's a lot of money there.
14:27No, you're not.
14:28What?
14:29There's a lot of money there, you know, for us, like...
14:30Oh, no, you're not.
14:32I know what she's worried about.
14:33She's worried about you and Sierra Le Contenant, isn't she?
14:35With all the fruleins and the senoritas, yes.
14:37All willing to ease the loneliness of the long-distance lorry driver, aren't they?
14:41Come on, Fletch.
14:42Ingrid, trust me.
14:43Yeah, about as much as I trust me dead.
14:48You what?
14:51I didn't mean it that way, Faye.
14:53You meant it exactly that way.
14:54No, I didn't.
14:55Just come out.
14:55Well, I just come out, ain't I?
14:57Just come out the dick.
14:59And that's the sort of attitude I'm up against.
15:01I thought at least in my home it would be a refuge from all this mistrust and cynicism I keep facing.
15:06But apparently I was wrong.
15:07Now, don't you get on your house with me.
15:08Because you can't blame this family for being a bit sceptical.
15:12Over the years, whenever that front doorbell went,
15:14we never knew whether it was a neighbour or the law come to collar you.
15:18Over the years, it's behind me now.
15:20I'm talking about now.
15:22Oh, yeah.
15:22Well, it was only two weeks ago when you was off to the wilds of Essex with a shovel in your hand.
15:27I think I left the gauntlets in the lorry.
15:28Don't leave on my account.
15:29I'm the one that's going, mate.
15:31Well, it's no point in going now, Dad.
15:33Your job don't start till 11.
15:34I'm not sure I'm going to show up at all to the job.
15:37You think it's the best job in the world, do you, eh?
15:39You think it's marvellous?
15:40Cleaning the shoes of bleeding commercial travellers?
15:42I tell you, I only took this job to prove a point to my family.
15:45And obviously the point is now pointless.
15:46So what's the point, eh?
15:47You shouldn't have spoken to your dad like that.
15:54Don't tell me what I should or shouldn't say in my own house.
15:57It's none of your business.
15:58I should have thought that what happens in this house is my business.
16:02Not yet it ain't.
16:04Oh, well, until such time it is, I shall go elsewhere.
16:08Do it yourself.
16:11Get a night's bed and breakfast somewhere.
16:13You won't have any trouble, aren't you?
16:16Well, say goodnight, then.
16:18Goodnight, then.
16:22Right, goodnight, then.
16:24Night.
16:25You know where to find me?
16:30No, I don't, do I?
16:34Oh, no, you don't.
16:35No, no, what...
16:36What I meant was, I know where to find you.
16:39You should do all the free nights you've had here.
16:44Well, I'll be on my way, then.
16:48And I'll be going, then.
16:51Suit yourself.
16:55I haven't eaten, you know, not since Coventry.
16:58You can always get a meat pie down the black line.
17:09Have you ever flicked?
17:10Thank you, Al.
17:13I like the whistle.
17:14Oh, yeah?
17:15Very smart.
17:16Been in court, have you?
17:17Oh, you're here.
17:24Where?
17:26Paddle of the lager, please.
17:29Two meat pies?
17:30Not at night.
17:32Peanut?
17:33Yeah.
17:34Right on.
17:35Right.
17:36What are you doing here, then?
17:37Felt like a drink, didn't it?
17:39Ah, naff off.
17:40I know what you two get up to the minute I'm out of the house.
17:42Yeah, normally, yeah.
17:45But we had a tiff.
17:46Tiff?
17:47What about?
17:48What about you?
17:49At least I think it was about you.
17:50Not too sure what it was about, really.
17:51Yeah.
17:52Arguments are seldom about what they appear to be about, are they?
17:55I mean, an argument is really two people in search of an exit line, isn't it?
17:58Well, you certainly made hasty exit.
18:00Yeah.
18:01Well, I felt like it.
18:02Thought you might be needing these.
18:05Oh, boy.
18:08Well, you can hardly start a new job in your carpet, Snippers, can you?
18:10You've got to make a decent impression.
18:12I told you, I'm not going to start a new job.
18:14Don't be daft.
18:15No, what I said in the house, I meant.
18:17I only took that job to prove a point to my family, that's all.
18:19Look, what was said in the house was said in the ear to the moment.
18:21I mean, like Ingrid, she didn't mean what she said.
18:23Yes, she did.
18:24No, she didn't.
18:24Yes, she did.
18:25No, she didn't.
18:26Yes, she did.
18:26Look, all I'm saying is...
18:27Don't change the subject, did she or didn't she?
18:30Look, the point I'm trying to make...
18:31Oh, you're making a point.
18:32There is a point to all this, is there?
18:34Alf?
18:35Yeah?
18:36Same again.
18:37Ah, not for me, thanks.
18:37I didn't mean you, did I?
18:41Look, Ingrid was upset with me because she was upset with herself about being upset with you.
18:45God, you sound like the prison shrink, you do.
18:48Well, let me put it another way.
18:49You can put it where you like me.
18:50All I'm saying is that Ingrid said what she thinks, and what she thinks, other people think and all.
18:55You know, Fletcher, you've got a very low opinion of people.
18:58You know, you're the second nosy partner's told me that today.
19:01Well, this bloke has given you the job.
19:03He expects you to turn up on time sober.
19:05Stuff the job.
19:06Not you, Alf.
19:0985p.
19:1085p.
19:10Right.
19:10Well, it looks like you do need a job if your test turned to double scotches.
19:13Am I asking you to pay for them?
19:20I'm not taking in, you know.
19:37I'm not pulling this storming out of the house on your carpet slippers because Ingrid upset you.
19:41The real reason is because you've lost your nerve.
19:43Now, just a minute.
19:44You know, look, first honest job you've ever had, and you just can't face it.
19:47Now, look, Lynn, there's something I haven't told you about myself.
19:49You see, I am actually allergic to work.
19:55Look, I am physically allergic to work.
19:57You may smile.
19:57No, but, I mean, people have allergies, don't they, eh?
19:59Cats or carpet fluff or camel hair.
20:01Well, for me, it is work.
20:03I promise you, if I went through Willis' job, by tomorrow morning, I'd have terrible migraine
20:07and I'd have big red blotches all over me body.
20:10Cobblers.
20:10No, no, that's a mumps.
20:11You're mixing yourself up.
20:14Now, doubt this medical science will one day come up with a cure,
20:17but until then, I think it's best to play it safe, don't you?
20:19Look, you can believe that if you want to, but other people won't be fooled.
20:22But if you want to fool yourself, fine.
20:24Listen, I'm fed up with all these sermons, Lynn.
20:26I'm fed up with all this advice and encouragement.
20:28Will you just go and make it up with Ingrid and get on with whatever you get on with
20:31and leave me here to get quietly Brahms and List.
20:33Do you mind?
20:34Here, that's six quid I owe you.
20:35Excuse me.
20:43I'm sorry, miss, we have no vacancies.
20:45I suggest you try the Ilfracoum two doors down.
20:48No, I don't want a room.
20:50I'm looking for a Mr Fletcher.
20:54Oh, well, we all are, aren't we?
20:55Oh, Miss Daughter Ingrid, he's my dad.
21:05I must say, young lady, I thought your father would have showed up a little early on his first night.
21:09Oh, he will.
21:10But he hasn't.
21:11Oh, no, but he was going to.
21:14If he...
21:15If he...
21:16If he what?
21:17If he hadn't forgotten these.
21:19He left home in ever such a good time, see,
21:22but what obviously must have happened was
21:25he was on the bus when he says to himself,
21:27Oh, dear, I have forgot my supper.
21:30So he must have nipped back home, see,
21:32not knowing that meantime I've brung him here.
21:36Obviously.
21:37I see.
21:41He's ever so keen about the job, Mr...
21:44McEwan.
21:46McEwan.
21:47It's best suit and that and lovely polished shoes.
21:52And he was saying to me, you know,
21:53what a really nice man you were.
21:56Giving him a chance and that.
22:00I was about to ring his probation officer.
22:03What's her name?
22:03Mrs Chapman.
22:04Oh, no, don't do that.
22:05I give him a chance, you see.
22:08I tell them all, benefit of the doubt, et cetera, et cetera.
22:11But when I say start at 11, I do mean at 11.
22:15You understand my point of view, don't you?
22:17Cuts both ways, doesn't it?
22:19Well, it's not quite 11, is it?
22:21Well, as I said, I thought it'd be early first night.
22:23That's why I let her go.
22:23I let my girl go.
22:24I said, I'll hold the fort.
22:26I'm late for my supper.
22:29Would you like a cup of milk, it's on me?
22:33There it is.
22:34Right on time.
22:35Randy, let go of my arm.
22:36You're right in my arm, Lynn.
22:38Moral support.
22:38Anyway, if I let go of you, you'd scarper.
22:40No, I'm not drunk.
22:42I'm not going to fall down, Gopper.
22:47Give me them shoes.
22:53Goes against the grain, it does, you know, kind of work.
22:57Here, that's my breath.
23:00I think you ought to have another polo.
23:06Here, keep the old packet.
23:08How do I look?
23:11Immaculate.
23:12Well, I don't feel it.
23:14Hey, you know what this reminds me of?
23:16Did you ever see that film on the waterfront?
23:17Yeah?
23:18Has it any relevance?
23:20But don't you remember the ending?
23:22And the priest picked Marlon Brando up and said,
23:24go on, you can do it.
23:25You can walk to work on your own.
23:27And Eva Marie Saint watched with tears in her eyes.
23:30Yeah, what have I got?
23:31And then a Marie Godbo with a smirk on his face.
23:35Well, Marlon Brando ain't done so bad.
23:36Since then, he's gone from strength to strength.
23:40All right, here I go then.
23:41Um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
24:11Oh, my God.
24:41BEEP
24:42BEEP
24:43BEEP
24:44Dad!
24:49Ingrid, what are you doing here?
24:51I've bram your sandwiches, which is what you came back for,
24:54which is why you cut it so fine, didn't you?
24:56Oh, yeah, yeah.
24:57I'm sorry about that, Mr McEwan.
24:58That's all right, Fletcher, I was a little worried.
25:00I said to your daughter, but all's well, etc, etc.
25:04Now, are you sure you know where...
25:06Yeah, you showed me the ropes this afternoon, didn't you, sir?
25:08Yes, go on, it's all right, you can trottle off.
25:10Well, if you're sure, I'll get upstairs and heat up my casserole.
25:13Yeah.
25:13Nice to meet you, miss.
25:15Mutual.
25:16Very suitable, shoot.
25:17Thank you, sir.
25:18Oh, er, don't forget, any late registrations?
25:20Oh, yes, cash on the nail, sir, yes.
25:23Oh, and, er, I probably should mention, um,
25:26sometimes we get ladies of the night.
25:28Oh, dear.
25:29You'd be surprised.
25:30Oh, yeah, probably because they work around Paddington Station, don't they, sir?
25:33That's right, they seem mostly to solicit Welshman.
25:36Oh, really, yes.
25:37Well, that's because it's a direct line from Cardiff, isn't it, so, yeah.
25:40And they don't get much of it down there, you know.
25:43I'm amazed they've got anything to sing about at all.
25:48Anyway, as I say, er...
25:50Obviously none of that.
25:50Oh, no, no, no, I won't bring any in if you don't, so no.
25:53Oh, no.
25:55Well, would you like a polo?
25:56Oh, no, you've got your casserole, haven't you?
25:58Yeah, yes.
25:59I'll tell you what, I'll leave you one there for later on.
26:02Go on, sir.
26:03Sleep well.
26:05Good night, miss.
26:05Nice to meet you.
26:06Mutual.
26:09I didn't think you was going to make it.
26:11Mutual.
26:12I've made you some nice sandwiches.
26:14Oh.
26:15Cheese and chutney and tongue with a little piccolini.
26:18Oh, good.
26:18We couldn't get any pies down the Black Line.
26:20I'll have these, darling.
26:22Dad.
26:23Yeah?
26:23I'm sorry about what I said.
26:25It was uncool.
26:25Ain't nothing of it.
26:26No, no, no, you had every right.
26:27No, no, I didn't.
26:28Listen, water under the bridge, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, innit?
26:31He's got me at it now.
26:33Well, all I wanted to say was, you know, I'm going to...
26:36Ingrid, I've got a job to do.
26:39I never thought I'd hear you say them words.
26:43No, neither did I.
26:46Oh, that's made me feel quite faint now, hasn't it?
26:50Oh, you'll be all right, Dad.
26:52Yeah, all right, yeah.
26:53I love you and I'm ever so proud of you, you know.
26:56Oh, good evening, sir.
27:00Oh, it's not a sir, it's him.
27:01What do you want?
27:03Want a room for the night?
27:04You what?
27:05I've got nowhere else to go.
27:06As good a place as any.
27:09Hello, Len.
27:11Hello, Ingrid.
27:11And how are you keeping?
27:14Never mind writing her a letter.
27:16If you want a room here, you've got to put cash on them now.
27:19Oh, come on, Fletch, you know me.
27:20Yeah, exactly.
27:21That's why I want cash on them now.
27:23Well, I've got nowhere else to go.
27:24Yes, you have.
27:25As well you know, Lenny Godfrey.
27:28Do I?
27:29Of course you do.
27:32Well, if you say so.
27:34Well, I do.
27:38Don't I?
27:40Do you?
27:42Told you.
27:42Here, you've been drinking.
27:46Just enough.
27:49Enough for what?
27:51You know.
27:53Do I?
28:00I hate to interrupt this little bit here,
28:02but I have an important announcement to make.
28:05Now, he can't sleep in our house
28:06because the sofa's broken, isn't it?
28:08It's collapsed, the legs come off.
28:10And there's nothing else for him to sleep on, is there?
28:12That's all right, Dad, don't worry.
28:13I mean, you're on night work now.
28:15I can have your bed.
28:16I can have your bed.
28:45Oh, don't we break back the coin?
