08:06Old man ribber, that old man ribber, he don't know nothing, he just keep rolling.
08:31What's with the fishing gear?
08:34Picks it up in the Shetlands, didn't I?
08:36We've got all else to do up there.
09:01Hey, this is George Malone's holding it.
09:23Yeah.
09:24How is he?
09:26He's in hospital.
09:28I went to see him last night.
09:31But, er, picking up one of his lancers.
09:40There's Snowy.
09:41Oh, no, not him.
09:44Not Count Mark's lips.
09:46He's all right, Logo.
09:47Yeah, he's a barrel of laughs, isn't he?
09:50I mean, I just love listening to the ladies' production figures for sugarcane in Cuba,
09:54especially when I'm having me dinner.
09:56I mean, I'm sometimes that fascinated.
09:58I let me food go cold.
09:59I'm fascinated.
10:00I let me food go cold.
10:03I'm excited about this new workplace.
10:04I'm so excited.
10:05Bye, I'm so excited.
10:06I've got one minute walk.
10:08You didn't have any fun, mate.
10:09I'm so excited.
10:10I just had to be a little of a flower.
10:11I'll be in the house.
10:12I'll be in the house.
10:13I'll be in the house.
10:14You have to be in the house.
10:15Now, you're just gonna wait.
10:16I'm so excited forака.
10:17You're ready for the light.
10:18I'll be in the house.
10:20You're ready for the final hour, and you're right.
10:21Yeah, that's right. It's me again, love. Go ahead, be a solid citizen. Do a decent thing and report me.
10:42So keep it a secret, whatever you do.
10:44There's not much chance at that, Snowy. You've already told off to suck the street yourself.
10:49Why don't you buy a banner, bollocks? I'll put an announcement in the echo.
10:53Get it. It's, eh, the men's back.
10:55That's all I give her at a retirement party by the time she's 16.
10:58He will...
11:02Do the action!
11:04That was good. I enjoyed that.
11:26Suspects have picked up... What's his name?
11:32Er, Malone.
11:34Malone in Freshfield Street and have turned left into Grafton Street.
11:40You're gonna flood that engine the way you're going on?
11:43I'm sure there's something wrong with this, you know.
11:48Sorry.
11:49Been driving long, Leslie?
11:51It's...
11:52It's, er...
11:54I'm not used to this one.
11:56That's, er...
11:57That's what it is.
11:59What was the number that I'd asked what the loan came out of?
12:02Er, I don't know.
12:03But it'll...
12:04It'll be on record.
12:05I've followed him before.
12:07Little sod.
12:08Walked me all around town and lost me in mother care.
12:18Jesus.
12:19So, it's, er...
12:20I've got an automatic at home and it's...
12:22It's hard, you know, to get...
12:23Get used to the, er...
12:24Just get a move on, will you?
12:25They'll be halfway down the road be now.
12:27Well, all right.
12:29We know where they're gonna end up, anyway.
12:31On the lawyers' side.
12:33If you lose them...
12:35Just go up there.
12:38Yeah, but it would be nice to see who else they'd pick up and where.
12:41You can use second gear, you know, if you want to.
12:44I don't think it'll make much difference.
12:46All we're doing is catching tadpoles and tiddlers.
12:48I wouldn't say that.
12:49You know, you've only got two wheels on the kerb.
12:52Er...
12:53I thought about being a stumper, haven't I?
12:55No.
12:56No, don't.
12:57You'll just make me cry.
12:58Turn the corner and put your foot down.
13:00Your right foot.
13:02Well, erm...
13:05Who was it who wakes you over this tyrant, Snowy?
13:08The boys in blue?
13:09The NF?
13:10SPG?
13:11CBI?
13:12SS?
13:13Fraud section?
13:14The Anti-Abortion League?
13:15You don't know what you're talking about.
13:16Well, tell us anyway.
13:17I know you're dying to.
13:18No, I know.
13:19No, I know.
13:20No, I know.
13:21No, I know.
13:22No, I know.
13:23No, I know.
13:24No, I know.
13:25No, I know.
13:26No, I know.
13:27No, I know.
13:28No, I know.
13:29No, I know.
13:30I know you're dying to.
13:31No, I'm not.
13:33Anyway, it wouldn't interest you.
13:35Yes, it would.
13:36I like fairy stories.
13:38They're not fairy stories, Logo.
13:40Ah, but still, go on.
13:42I still want to know what happened.
13:45As a matter of fact, I fell off me mumpets.
13:50No.
13:51I'll be okay.
13:52Tzu-tzu-tzu.
13:53It's mine.
13:54It's my boy!
13:55itung's a grueless.
13:57No.
13:58I'm so sorry.
13:59I'm so sorry.
14:00It's my boy.
14:01I like it.
14:02Oh, no.
14:03I think it's mine.
14:04No, I ain't.
14:05You're doomed.
14:06Yeah, you're doomed.
14:07It's my boy.
14:08I'm like a man.
14:09It's my boy.
14:10Oh, no, you're doomed.
14:11All right, Kev, is your dad, er, what's the matter with your face?
14:28Nothing, compared to me ribs.
14:30Me dad's in bed.
14:32What are you supposed to be doing a couple of days with my lord?
14:34Someone came from last night, 12-hour night somewhere.
14:37He just got back.
14:38Oh, right.
14:39You better get to bed and all.
14:41I haven't been yet.
14:42They just let me out at the police station.
14:44Oh, I was fighting, were you?
14:45I wasn't, but they were.
14:47The Brookvale gang?
14:49No, the Brookvale police.
14:50Oh, go away, Kev.
14:51You mean the police beat you up for nothing?
14:53Yeah, it's a pack of lies, Chrissie.
14:55I tried to have her off with an elephant.
14:56For what for?
15:00Nothing.
15:01I just happened to be there, that's all.
15:04Yeah, well, listen, tell your dad I called.
15:08I haven't really seen Dixie since that cock-up in Middlesbrough, you know.
15:11Oh, yeah.
15:12You mean when me and Kevin got the sack because of you cowboys and couldn't get another job?
15:16Yeah.
15:17Happy days, day-wear, Chrissie.
15:20Thanks for the memory, now frig off.
15:21Ah, come on, Dixie, we're all in the same boat.
15:23Yeah, and you sunk it.
15:25So why don't Dixie want to work?
15:38He's got something else on.
15:40But he wouldn't work with us anyway.
15:42Not after Middlesbrough.
15:44I don't think Dixie will ever forget Middlesbrough.
15:48Mind you, mind her, will I?
15:51Why?
15:51What happened to Middlesbrough?
15:53Oh, nothing much.
15:55We just lost our life savings to doing a foreigner, you know, for these two con artists.
16:01And Dixie lost his job.
16:03It was his job to make sure we were on the side with him.
16:06You know, I would seriously like to bomb Middlesbrough off the face of the air.
16:12Anyway, I don't know why Dixie's got a cob on with us for.
16:16I mean, if he'd have been doing his proper job, we'd all still be working.
16:19In fact, when you come to think of it, it was all Dixie's fault.
16:23What about his lad?
16:26Isn't he having any?
16:28He's not in any state soon.
16:30He's been beaten black and blue.
16:32Born by the police, he reckons.
16:33And for nothing.
16:34That's about par for the course.
16:36Ah, come on, Snowy.
16:38I've heard all of those stories.
16:39But I don't believe any of it.
16:41Oh, hey.
16:42Where have you been all your life?
16:44What were you doing during the Toxtet riots?
16:47Well, I was down at supermarkets a lot.
16:49The police started that, you know.
16:50Come here, Sambo, and suck this truncheon.
16:53That's the main reason Toxtet went up, Chrissie.
16:56And for every fella who dies in a police station and gets his name in the papers,
17:00there's hundreds more who get a quiet little labyrinth down the dark alley and crawl home to bed.
17:04I've been worked over too many times myself not to know that.
17:07Yeah, and I know what they did to you and all.
17:09They knocked your brains out.
17:10Oh, it's fine by me.
17:12You make a joke out of it.
17:13But be warned.
17:14The way things are going with this government,
17:16the swing to the right, tax relief for the rich,
17:19redundancies for the poor,
17:20mass unemployment, poverty,
17:22curtailing of freedom, starting with the unions.
17:25It's all heading for one thing and one thing only.
17:27A fascist dictatorship and a police state.
17:30That's two things.
17:31And it sounds just like Russia, Snowy.
17:34Oh, don't be sorry.
17:34You know you, eh?
17:35You're in a fence under the noise abatement act.
17:38All right.
17:39All right.
17:40But you give it 18 months and...
17:42Look, see?
17:44There you are.
17:45The bloody law.
17:46I knew they got, eh?
17:47Two working lads.
17:49Probably nothing concrete to stop them for.
17:51Just a bit of harassment.
17:5348 miles an hour in a built-up area.
17:56Bastards!
17:56Wait there.
18:08Where did they come from?
18:20Who said that?
18:21It was me.
18:32Get out of here.
18:34Now.
18:43Tell me what you said again.
18:45Go on.
18:51Bastard.
18:57Midget.
18:58Well, well, well, Geoffrey. We are honoured. Two sniffers from the dole.
19:25I wouldn't quite put it like that, but it takes a good picture, doesn't it?
19:29Look, we are right in the middle of a very important investigation.
19:33Oh, who's a naughty boy, then, eh?
19:36Exceeding the speed limit, driving in a manner liable to cause an accident...
19:41Oh, come on!
19:42...and then, just for luck, no L-plates on display.
19:46I hope for your sake, Mr Lawton, that your passenger has a licence.
19:53A full licence. Look, eh...
19:55Not like your one.
19:58We work very closely with some of your boys, and we...
20:01Insurance.
20:04I expect it's, eh...
20:06Produce your insurance document at your nearest police station within the next five days.
20:12If you would be so kind.
20:16I was on the dole for 18 months, friend.
20:20That's why I'm here today, giving you a ticket.
20:23Cos I've met your kind before.
20:26Have a nice day.
20:28I didn't like his tone, you know. I've a good mind to...
20:46Get in!
20:47I just thought, you know, I'd put a bit of practice in.
20:50Me test's coming up in a fortnight, and I thought, with having this job...
20:53Yeah, it's all right, and you thought...
20:55Me being new here, I will be back from Wigan.
20:57You, Donald, believe me...
20:58Shut up, will you?
20:59You've got to get this van changed.
21:01I don't know they were calling bastards, but they sure to have clocked us in this.
21:04I'm sorry, Donald. I am late.
21:34I am sorry.
21:35I don't know if I have to leave.
21:36I am gone.
21:37There's no day.
21:38I'm sorry.
21:39I'm sorry, Donald.
21:40I'm sorry, Donald.
21:41I'm sorry, Donald.
21:42I'm sorry.
21:43I'm sorry, Donald.
21:44What about the day?
21:45I'm sorry.
21:46It's a bad day.
21:47I did not know you were with a bad day.
21:48I did not know you were with a bad day.
21:49This day.
21:50He said that it was something so funny, Donald.
21:51I have no idea.
21:53What kind of stuff you were with a hit?
21:54Oh, no.
21:55No he can't, Dan.
21:56Chris's told me you were here.
21:57But I didn't tell you to turn off.
21:58Oh, no.
21:59No they can't, Dan.
22:01Crissey told me you were here.
22:04Come on, Ed. I'll take you back.
22:08Come on, here, cross the road, lad. I mean, I'm doing nothing.
22:12And besides, I thought you might have been short-handed, you know, son.
22:15Yeah, of course you did, but we're all right. Come on, we'll take you back.
22:20Hey, get a brew on, logger, will you? You won't be long.
22:23All right.
22:27Is there any tea bags over there, Jimmy?
22:29Ooh, another line of tea bags. Look at this, Pat.
22:32Oh, I'll give it that one, eh?
22:34Where did you get the trousers?
22:36I borrowed them, Michael. Of the giant in the next bed.
22:39No, next bed was one of those two miserable sons on the side wouldn't lend me there, so...
22:44Why worry? I'm getting transferred from me to Walton Hospital.
22:48That's an undisclosed fee.
22:50What are we going to do with you, Dad?
22:52I'll give me the job as a can lad as a start.
22:55Oh, well, I can do that.
22:58Well, yeah. There is a bit of work for plasterers at the moment.
23:02Oh, yeah?
23:04So come you're here then on £14 a day?
23:07I'm blacklisted.
23:09You're blacklisted? What for?
23:12Start strikes.
23:13Not a bad reason.
23:15I'm also in the WRP.
23:17Didn't he used to have them during the war?
23:19You know, tin hats and gas masks and knock at your door if you didn't draw your curtains.
23:23The workers' revolutionary party.
23:25Oh, aye, I remember them.
23:28But that's our factory gates, actually, the day we closed down.
23:32Full of brotherly love and fight the good fight and all that, you know.
23:36We still closed down, though.
23:38Yeah, but Snowy's different. Aren't you, Snowy?
23:41Not the same as all those others in that day workers' revolutionary party.
23:46Right, Dad, innit?
23:48You're the only one who's working class.
23:50I can take it, you know, Logo.
23:52I can take it cos I know my beliefs are right.
23:55I've been brought up by my dad to support what's worth supporting.
23:58Yeah?
23:59I didn't know your dad followed Everton.
24:02All I'm saying is if you don't fight, if, you know, if, like...
24:07Like, I mean, it was easy being a socialist when I was growing up in the 60s.
24:11And even for most of the 70s.
24:13Everyone was a friggin' socialist then.
24:15It was fashionable.
24:16But it's not now.
24:18Everything's gone sour.
24:19Everyone's locking the door, turning the other cheek,
24:22looking after number one.
24:24But now's the time when we should all be together.
24:26Now's the time when we need to be together.
24:29Cos, cos, well, we're not winning anymore.
24:32Don't you see that?
24:37Mike, that's all I'm saying.
24:42Of course we see it.
24:47And the last thing we need is to be told about it for Christ's sake.
24:51Cos deep down, most of us know it.
24:54But you don't look that far.
24:56Not these days.
24:58But when you're scared, Snowy,
25:01when you're scared, unless you're very special,
25:05you think about yourself and yours.
25:08You think about feeding the kids and paying their rent
25:11and the effect it's having on your tart.
25:14And even what Christmas is gonna be like this year.
25:17I'm a married man with two kids,
25:20and your beliefs go right out the window
25:22when your debtors knock at your door.
25:24And what's more, I shouldn't be here now.
25:27The sniffers have been round our house twice this past fortnight.
25:31But you need the money.
25:33Got it in one.
25:35I know.
25:36I needed two.
25:39Is there no chance of a start with Malloy?
25:45Yeah, well, that's what I wanna know and all.
25:48I did a couple of days for him last week, you know.
25:50Asked him then.
25:51But he sort of avoided it.
25:53I've only come today so I can ask him again.
25:56You know what?
25:57I'd do anything if I thought...
25:59What did you used to be, Jimmy?
26:02I used to be a machine fitter.
26:05And I still am.
26:16He's here now.
26:18What time is it?
26:22It's about 20 minutes after we should have started work.
26:25Look, hey, hey, hang about.
26:27Look at the state of you.
26:28Panicking just because the boss is here.
26:30Jumping up and running.
26:31You'll be touching your forelocks next.
26:33Let's not make it so obvious, eh?
26:35Right?
26:36OK.
26:37Let's go.
26:38There you go.
26:51One shot then, are we?
26:52Well, you know what it's like, don't you?
26:54First sign of spring and all the boys are off to Spain.
26:58I mean, it's a shame to let the villas go to waste, innit?
27:01And who are you when you're out?
27:03I'm the Bricky.
27:05Well, I mean, that's how I save me time.
27:07It was some time ago, but...
27:09We, er...
27:10We had someone else, but he got a proper job.
27:12Well, that's good to hear anyway.
27:14I see you brought your robes, Snowy, but I don't think they'll come looking for you here, though.
27:20This used to be a bridewell, didn't it?
27:22It's not going to be a police station again, is it?
27:24Because, you know, I do have certain moral objections to working on...
27:27No, it's not going to be that.
27:29But you could say it's another growth industry.
27:31One of the few.
27:32OK.
27:33OK.
27:34I can leave you on your own now, can't I?
27:36I'll, er...
27:37Need someone to mix for me every so often.
27:39Kenny will do that.
27:40Er...
27:41Kenny won't, but, er...
27:42Cliffy might.
27:43You're not a brickie, are you, by any chance?
27:45Sorry.
27:46Don't worry.
27:47There's still some landscaping needs doing.
27:49Er...
27:50That patch over there.
27:51Flatten the hump out.
27:52Pick out all the half sets and rubble on.
27:55That should...
27:57That should, er...
28:01Look what's coming.
28:02No.
28:13Here's the job.
28:14Go on.
28:15Gizzy.
28:16Go ahead.
28:17The job?
28:18Yeah.
28:19Gizzy.
28:20Go on.
28:21I know you've got one.
28:22As I told me.
28:23Go on.
28:24Gizzy.
28:25Now.
28:26Today.
28:27Well, what about...
28:28Yeah.
28:29Oh, hi, yeah.
28:30Hold two right, yeah.
28:32I only need a brickie.
28:33Yes, that's me.
28:34I'm a brickie.
28:35I can lay bricks.
28:37Well, there's, erm...
28:39There's that small wall running parallel to the one that he's going to be working on.
28:43I'll...
28:44I'll...
28:45I'll see how you...
28:46How you make out.
28:47On a trial basis.
28:53Do you know him?
28:54Will you see?
28:55Um...
28:56How's the new cycle, Mr. Malloy?
28:57Fine.
28:58Just fine.
28:59You, er...
29:00You busy then, are you?
29:01Er...
29:02Not really.
29:03Not for the time of year.
29:04And not after the winter we had.
29:05Never know, though.
29:06We, er...
29:07We might have a good summer.
29:08Still die off once the bad weather comes back.
29:09Always does.
29:10Er...
29:11I was just wondering, Mr. Malloy...
29:12I'm sorry, Kenny, but I...
29:13Erm...
29:14Er...
29:15Erm...
29:16I'm sorry, Kenny.
29:17But, I...
29:18Erm...
29:19Krissy.
29:20Yeah, Krissy.
29:21Nevertheless, Mr. Malloy...
29:22It could be a couple of months before the weather changes, you know.
29:25Look, I've really got to dash.
29:27You know how it is.
29:28Yeah, but I only want a couple of words, Mr. Malloy...
29:29Well, hold on.
29:31Hold on, I'm sorry, Mr. Malloy.
29:32You're not ready, then, are you?
29:33Not really.
29:34Not really.
29:35Not really.
29:36Not really.
29:37Not really.
29:38Not really.
29:39Not really.
29:40Not really.
29:41Not for the time of year.
29:42And not after the winter we had.
29:43I'll be back before dinner to see our friend the man Vicky's shaping up.
29:48Speak to me then!
29:53You know the score, Chrissie.
29:55There's nothing down for you.
29:57That's the way it is and that's the way it'll be until we...
30:05Yeah, well, best not to think about it if it hurts that much.
30:12Yeah, well...
30:13We'll see about that.
30:36Thanks, Chrissie.
30:38You all right?
30:40I'll probably need another mix in a few minutes.
30:43Yeah.
30:44You'll be lucky.
30:45It's nearly dinner time now.
30:47It's not, is it?
30:49Jeez.
30:50It doesn't time fly when you're enjoying yourself, eh?
30:52I love doing this, you know.
31:02It's a phenomenon of me principles that let me.
31:04Know what I mean?
31:05Not a fan, Snowy.
31:07No.
31:08You know, you know, doing something you're good at, there's nothing like it.
31:12You're standing there in the morning facing four empty walls and then going home at night with
31:17the plaster all dry and smooth and the bit you've just done all wet and shining.
31:23That's why I don't mind working on me home if they're drooping home.
31:26Because if there's one thing I can't stand, it's working with someone who hasn't got no pride.
31:34And funny enough, they're the kind that never want to come out on strike.
31:41No pride and no principles.
31:43Like some of the sods who've renovated this place.
31:48Have you seen it?
31:49It's shoddy already.
31:51Half the wood's warped.
31:53There's a fall on the floor and a leak on the landing.
31:57Not in the last in here, except the original building itself.
32:02And the plaster on the walls.
32:05You want to see...
32:07Hey, Chrissie.
32:10Come here.
32:12Do I have to?
32:13No, I want to show you something.
32:15It won't take long.
32:17I'm not long for a while.
32:23Hey, you can come again, kidder.
32:26Now, tell you what, you know, keep this up.
32:29I might just increase your non-taxable allowance to 10p an hour.
32:33You can't have a JCB by any chance, can you?
32:36Come on, come on.
32:37Come on, come on.
32:38Come on.
32:39Come on.
32:40Come on.
32:41Come on.
32:42Come on.
32:43Hey!
32:44What do you think you're doing?
32:45Do you think I'm carrying these bricks around for the good of me health?
32:48Come on.
32:49Get them up.
32:50Come on.
32:51Come on.
32:52Come on.
32:53Get them up.
32:54Hey, Yaza.
32:56Yaza.
32:58Yaza, you can't leave gaps like that.
33:00It's for ventilation.
33:01Oh, Christ.
33:14See?
33:24It's a tile, Snowy.
33:26Lots of tiles.
33:29Brown ones.
33:30Yeah, I know.
33:31I know.
33:32Nothing special.
33:33Just beautifully made and precision laid a hundred years ago.
33:37I'm still liking you.
33:39Apart from those that are being cracked and buggery by the idiots who put the new banister
33:43up.
33:45Is that it?
33:46Can I go now?
33:52But don't you see?
33:54We're all capable of work like that.
33:55Crashmanship doesn't die out on people, Chrissie.
33:56We can all do good jobs, but we're not allowed to.
33:57I don't get jobs just because of my politics, you know.
33:58There's times when I'm not taken on because I'm too good.
33:59And because I'm good, and I do the job proper, I refuse to skimp on the stuff, and I'm slower
34:00than the bosses want me to be. And then I'm not a profit margin any more. I'm a liability.
34:10Do you ever lose any work because you talk too much?
34:11All right.
34:12But listen, Chrissie, I'm telling you, and I mean it. Don't give in, because if you give
34:13in, you're dead. And I'm only telling you because I can see the signs.
34:17Get in.
34:47Oh, aye. Will you look at that? Just look at that. Sometimes, you know, sometimes I'm
34:58so proud of what I've done. I put my name in the bottom left-hand corner of the world.
35:04Snowy Malone, 1982. You know, Chrissie, thinking about it, the job with Malloy.
35:13No. And I wasn't thinking about it just then.
35:17Oh? Still bad down there?
35:19Bad? That's a compliment.
35:28He's off his cake, you know, Snowy. Ever since that time he was with us in Middlesbrough.
35:33He's just got worse. And the stories you hear.
35:38Pain to see him in Dad, you know. Yeah. Just turned up one night.
35:42He sat there with him for nearly an hour. Staring at me, Dad.
35:46Nurse had to ask him to go in the end. When he started crying.
35:51When who started crying?
35:53Yossi.
35:55Can hell.
35:57You better tell him about that.
36:00I already have done. So's Logo.
36:02You'll have to tell him again, then.
36:04For all the good it'll do. It's like talking to a brick wall.
36:07But Yossi, you don't know what you're doing.
36:16Or he'll go spare when he comes back.
36:19Yossi!
36:20Look, I'll tell you what, Yossi. You work the odds for a while, eh?
36:25I'll lay the bricks. Work a tandem like. Look at Yossi. That one's not... Leave my one alone.
36:34Come on, it's... It's Dennis I'm.
36:46It's a Mercedes, Leslie. I know come sir, but I think I know a Mercedes when I see one.
36:52All I'm saying is...
36:53Look, you saw him in it yourself at his other side.
36:56All I'm saying is, is that it says here it's a green T-Reg Ford Granada.
37:07Obviously, he must have changed his car.
37:12No manners, have they, some people?
37:15You'd have thought he'd have had the decency to let us know.
37:23Still, when you think about it, it's a good job we had to take that other van back.
37:51Aye.
37:53That's what your superiors are for.
37:55To keep you completely in the dark.
37:58Particularly our delightful boss.
38:01Living proof of the folly of female emancipation.
38:06Knowing her, she wouldn't have told us what was going to happen.
38:09It wouldn't be the first time, Donald.
38:12It wouldn't be the first time.
38:14Don't I know it.
38:16Do you know, I followed a bloke to court one morning last month.
38:19And I sat there while he went in the dock and pleaded guilty for the offences I was still following him for.
38:25I'd been away on sick leave when they pulled him in.
38:27Nobody thought to let me know when I came back.
38:40Well, at least something's happening.
38:43Won't be long now.
38:44He's got a nerve though, hasn't he?
38:47That's my lie character.
38:49What, you mean I'm the lads here?
38:51I'll say.
38:52I'll say.
38:53Where's the sign going, fella?
39:14What? Oh, yeah.
39:17Up there, over the entrance.
39:19Take the wagon in the yard, Phil.
39:20We'll stand on the back to put it up.
39:23I'm having terrible trouble sleeping, you know.
39:48It's the door that does it, though, isn't it?
39:53Anyway, went to doctors last week, told them straight,
39:57I'm on the door, doctor, and I can't sleep.
40:00So fair enough, they told me to take these pills of a night before I went to bed.
40:04But I told them going to sleep at night wasn't a trouble.
40:07So he suggested that when I woke up in the early hours of the morning,
40:10I'd take one so that I can get my head down again.
40:13But I told them that wasn't no trouble neither.
40:15So they got a bit ratty with me then, and asked me when it was I couldn't sleep.
40:19And I told them,
40:20It's the afternoons.
40:24Oh, you've heard it.
40:35You do that wall.
40:39What wall?
40:40The wall I asked you to do.
40:43Yeah.
40:45What about it?
40:46Come and take a look at it.
40:49I've seen it.
40:52Once you've seen one wall, you've seen them all.
40:55Not this one.
40:56This is special.
40:59Good, eh?
41:01Come and see it again.
41:02It's well worth seeing twice.
41:04Now!
41:10Don't tell me what to do.
41:13Nobody tells me what to do.
41:19Take it easy, eh?
41:20You also want to have a word?
41:26Well, Chrissie, you can always have a nice cosy little chat
41:29while you're walking him over to casualty.
41:30But what were you doing, man?
41:41I was doing my best.
41:43Your best?
41:45But that can't be your best.
41:47That's a disgrace.
41:48Be my wall alone.
41:50But look at it!
41:52It lasts forever, that.
41:53I want one thing.
41:55You're not a brickie.
41:56I am.
41:56You're not.
41:57You can't be.
41:58Not if that's your best.
42:00I've laid bricks before.
42:01Anyone can lay bricks.
42:03Listen, son.
42:04The last time you laid bricks was when you had a Lego set.
42:08You're no good to me.
42:09Oh!
42:10Oh!
42:10I wouldn't do that if I were you, cos if you do, I'll kill you.
42:25Go on.
42:27Clear off.
42:28You're sacked.
42:30Me, sacked?
42:33How can you sack a man is on the dough?
42:34He's sacked me, boys.
42:43He's sacked a man that doesn't even work for him.
42:46I'll tell you something, he'll have trouble finding me a P-45.
42:49But I'll tell you something, he'll know it's not safe to provide.
42:49I don't know.
43:19Want another cup of tea?
43:26No, no, I can hardly finish this one.
43:30Anyway, I've got to go.
43:32And so have you.
43:34Back to work.
43:38Come on, Jimmy.
43:40Let's go.
43:40That'll be fixed for some more mixing.
43:50Won't take a minute.
43:52And I won't be a minute.
43:53I wish you...
44:03Go on.
44:07No, no, you...
44:09Well, I've got nothing to say.
44:12It's you who wanted to speak to me.
44:15Yeah, well, I was, uh...
44:17I'm not happy to wait things on now, Mr. Malloy, £14 a day and...
44:21In your hand?
44:23Yeah, I know, and it's all well and good, but...
44:25It's not legal and things are getting bad for me down at the UAB.
44:29And what I'm saying is I want a job.
44:31I want a proper job.
44:32This is no use to me.
44:33Isn't it more use than no job at all?
44:37You don't want to take me on?
44:38Oh, it's not a question of that, if I...
44:40Look, look.
44:41I know I'm losing money asking you this,
44:43but I'd rather be legit on a lot less.
44:46I want to be a working man again.
44:49I want to come home at night with dirt on me hands
44:51and not have to hide it from anybody.
44:54If you would just listen to me for a minute, Kenny.
44:57You don't want to take me on, right?
44:58Fine.
44:59If I took you on,
45:00what would happen the weeks there was no work?
45:03When the winter comes again,
45:05when I'd have to find your weekly wage
45:06so you could play cars and drink tea and piss in the snow.
45:10Well, what do you want me to do?
45:12Take you on for a few months
45:14and then lay you off on the frost on the ground
45:16like the big firms do, huh?
45:18Well, what do you want?
45:20Promises are the truth, Kenny.
45:23I wouldn't mind me real name.
45:25Yeah, Chrissy.
45:26Yeah, Chrissy.
45:27You can remember it when I'm gone.
45:29Oh, you're not listening to a word I'm saying.
45:32Look.
45:33This is the building game.
45:35This is Britain in 1982.
45:37It's just not worth my while.
45:41Where are you going?
45:44Home.
45:46Well, can any of the others drive?
45:48No.
45:49What about the van?
45:54Oh, er, it's not we can handle a moped.
45:57Sometimes.
45:58What am I going to do?
46:00Well, don't ask me.
46:01I don't work for you, remember?
46:02OK.
46:04Don't worry.
46:06I'll find someone.
46:09Here.
46:10Here's a fire for you.
46:11Frig off, my lawyer.
46:13I don't need charity.
46:14Give it to Oxfam.
46:15I used to be soft, you know.
46:21Noted for it.
46:22But not anymore.
46:24I've had it up to here.
46:25Just do it.
46:30Put that bloody thing away.
46:48Come on, Jesus Christ, man!
46:53Something upset you?
46:58Jimmy, I don't believe it!
47:01Hey, hey, hey, Chrissie, come here a minute.
47:03What for?
47:04Never you mind, just get yourself...
47:07Listen!
47:08Listen, what do you reckon?
47:10This building is going to be a disfarm workshop.
47:12I don't know, do I?
47:14Well, I won't guess, go on.
47:15Oh, look, stop frigging about.
47:16Do you give in, then?
47:17Yeah, yeah.
47:18All right, all right.
47:20Da-da-da!
47:21Da-da-da-da-da-da-da!
47:22Da-da-da-da-da-da-da!
47:24Da-da-da-da-da-da-da!
47:26Can you believe it?
47:28Oh!
47:29Hey, can you believe that?
47:31Can you believe that?
47:35Can you believe it?
47:36Hey, Snowy, he'll be bleeding, knock on his ears.
47:40Oh, yes, get him!
47:42Hey, Snowy!
47:43I don't know where you are.
47:53Snowy!
47:55Snowy!
47:57Hey, come here.
47:59What's the matter?
48:01Come here and we'll show you.
48:03Come on, come here.
48:13What do you think Snowy's gonna...
48:18Hey, son, this...
48:43Snowy!
48:50Snowy!
48:52Snowy!
48:54Get in, get in!
48:56Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
49:13Hey!
49:15Come on, come on!
49:17Hey!
49:19Hey!
49:21Hey!
49:23Hey!
49:27Hey!
49:32Hey!
49:34Hey!
49:37Hey!
49:38Hey!
49:39BELL RINGS
50:09Here they come.
50:16Yeah, well, go on, here come on.
50:20Well, go on, you didn't know him.
50:21And anyway, what can you do?
50:22He's dead.
50:26Look, tell them I just started you all.
50:31Then I asked for your P-45s, and you're bringing them in tomorrow.
50:35Please.
50:36This could ruin me.
50:38Please.
50:41Listen to me.
50:42I'll give you a job.
50:44I will.
50:44I'll make it worth your while.
50:46I'll make it worth your while.
