07:20Gwyn
07:21somebody
07:22not the Welsh
07:23gas bag
07:25you
07:30Philip you
07:32Oh
07:35Hello there
07:37Hey, not poorly are you?
07:39Nope
07:40Couldn't concentrate sitting up so I thought I'd try lying down
07:43With any luck
07:46I was wondering if you fancied a walk, it's a lovely evening out
07:49Yeah, may as well
07:50For all the good I'm doing here
07:52Is it just an attack of the old ups and downs or?
07:55Something more serious
07:56Well lucky for me I've no exam this time, that's all
07:58Oh you ride it out for what's left
08:00Of this term, start afresh in Michaelmas
08:02Now what can happen before Michaelmas
08:04This time Nick
08:05Next year I shall probably be studying French and German
08:07The same way I studied Spanish
08:09As part of
08:10For the incidental education of war
08:13You really are sure it's coming aren't you?
08:15Aren't you?
08:16I don't know
08:17Last year maybe
08:19This year
08:20Who knows
08:21Perhaps he got too used to giving him what he asks for
08:23Yeah, perhaps he won't ask for too much
08:25Hmm
08:26Hmm
08:27Hmm
08:29Hmm
08:30You know
08:32Me dad came down to look at me one time
08:34You know
08:35Me dad came down to look at me one time
08:35He was standing by the bed
08:36Taking it all in
08:37And not thinking much of it
08:39When his two
08:40Who caught the chamber pot
08:41My God
08:42Gwynny says
08:43You've gone from one slum to another
08:45How will you?
08:46Aye says
08:47But I have a servant in a white coat to empty it for me now
08:49You know
08:50Philip
08:51That man emptying my slops
08:52Is a thing I'll never get used to
08:53Never
08:54Now
08:55These eaten boils
08:56They take to it in the manor born
08:58They don't mind where they do it
08:59As long as there's some
09:00Only there to empty it for them afterwards
09:02The upper classes have the courage of their own vulgarity for them
09:05Use this place like a station waiting room
09:08They're just passing through on the way
09:10To parliament
09:11Or the civil service
09:12Or a plush line niche in the old man's business
09:15And where the hell's right Ty?
09:16Bloody more of them where they came from
09:18For me
09:20I'm one off
09:21When I won my scholarship
09:23The preacher launched an appeal to set up a fight
09:25To fund
09:26To finance me through university
09:27Oh
09:28Thanks
09:29And like a man
09:30A bloody resource
09:31And half that village
09:32You have money on me
09:33I'm gonna do better than
09:35Everybody else
09:36Because when I go back home
09:37I'm expected to show
09:38All the other lads
09:39How to get here
09:40That's me
09:41What I'm here for
09:42My mission in life
09:45You might say
09:46Is to raise the bloody tone of this place
09:50Anyway
09:51It won't take me for the war
09:52I've got asthma
09:53Bloody ironic isn't it?
09:55My dad works 30 years down pit
09:57And gets silicosis for his pains
10:00I haven't ever been down once
10:02Just to look
10:03And shudder
10:05And I've got asthma
10:06There's something I always forget about you
10:08Oh
10:09It doesn't worry me all that much
10:10Normally
10:11I have to carry
10:12This thing about me
10:13Whenever I go
10:15I'm looking forward to that Lakeland air
10:17I can tell you
10:18You sure you don't mind about
10:19The marriage
10:20You know
10:20I mean you don't mind
10:21Breaking into the vat
10:22What's the odds man
10:23You can't miss your sister's wedding
10:25Look I'm supposed to be
10:26Meeting my brother in
10:27Half an hour's time
10:28He's being posted down here
10:29What about coming
10:30With me
10:31A nice quiet little walk
10:32With a ton of find
10:33For the first one to speak
10:35I don't know why the hell I bother with you
10:40I just don't want it to be an expensive day for you
10:42That's all
10:43Now you just forget about that
10:44That's my problem
10:45Not that it is a problem
10:46Goodness me
10:47We're better off than we ever were
10:48You working
10:49Frida working
10:50Even your mother's talking about
10:51Going back to teach
10:52Yeah she told me
10:53She said you weren't very
10:55Enthusiastic
10:56I've coped for the last 20 odd years
10:58I reckon I can cope for a few more yet
11:00I think it's more to take her mind off things
11:02You begin to dread picking up a new
11:05Newspaper
11:06He's got three sons dad
11:08Yeah
11:09I've got
11:10Three sons too
11:11Yeah
11:12Would one of you see to the front door
11:13Let I go
11:15I hope
11:16Well
11:20Hello
11:21Hello
11:22Hello
11:23Hello
11:24Hello
11:25Sheila
11:26Come in love
11:27Thanks
11:28Well now
11:29This
11:30Is a pleasant surprise
11:31Come and taste one of your mother-in-law's biscuits
11:33No
11:34I can't stop
11:35Um
11:36Because I've left the kids with the neighbours
11:37Anything wrong love?
11:38Anything wrong love?
11:40I've come to ask for money
11:42It's the rent day tomorrow and I'm three weeks behind
11:45See how I was expecting something from David
11:49It
11:50It
11:51It
11:52It
11:53It

12:16It
12:17It
12:18It
12:19It
11:55I don't know.
12:00How's it going then?
12:02Alright, you know, no complaints.
12:05Have you been home lately?
12:06Not lately, no.
12:08Silicons have everything, can you?
12:10Get 12 and a 10 out of the day now, you know.
12:15Are you going to Maggie's wedding?
12:16Yeah, yeah.
12:17You?
12:18I'll have to ask the Air Marshal, won't I?
12:20You know, I thought she'd settle down to being engaged for years.
12:25Why?
12:26Well, you know, till John got promotion and they could buy a posh house.
12:30I don't think it's what you'd call a passionate love match, do you?
12:33I don't know, they seem right enough for each other.
12:35Well, it wouldn't do for everybody to get carried away, I suppose.
12:38Oh, Gwyn's coming too.
12:40I might see you there then, bit of luck.
12:45Right, who's ready for another?
12:46Oh, not for me, Lance.
12:47Tell me, Taff, what's a few pints between friends?
12:50Are you expecting somebody?
12:53Well, the Proctors, perhaps, will.
12:55We're not supposed to go into pints.
12:56Well, don't let me cut up your morals.
12:58That's alright.
13:00Alright.
13:01What do you do?
13:05What do you do before?
13:06Arran boy, more or less on the docks.
13:08Not much glamour, isn't that?
13:10Not much anything.
13:11He's the married one, isn't he?
13:13Yeah, two kids.
13:15We're going to eat now.
13:16He started early.
13:17Too early.
13:21I don't know why we'd come here, do you?
13:23Have you tried listening to the conversation?
13:25Well, you know that one, huh?
13:26He threw the sherry into the fireplace, killing two birds with one stone, as it were.
13:30And said,
13:31Thompson, you are, at the best of times, a grubby little man.
13:35Well, in general, an effectuality is appalling enough.
13:37But today, you have insulted my guests.
13:40And ruined a simply splendid sherry party.
13:42You're not qualified to be a college scout.
13:45I doubt if you'd be qualified to earn your living in a coal mine.
13:50Find the company an improvement, anyway.
13:52I beg your pardon?
13:53The company, down the mine.
13:55An improvement, you know.
13:56Well, if it isn't Roberts, our council school genius from South Wales.
14:00They say the place will be crawling with them in a few years.
14:02I don't know so much about that.
14:03They're not all as strong in the stomach as me.
14:05People like you need reminding this place has been here a long time, Roberts.
14:08And that people like you are the rightful...
14:10custodians of his traditions, eh?
14:12Strikes me that you could do with a lesson.
14:14An etiquette.
14:15Before you can teach it, you've got to know it.
14:17What's going on?
14:18What's going on?
14:20Nothing.
14:21Just an unfriendly difference of opinion.
14:24Cheers.
14:25Cheerio.
14:26I like this stuff, but I got a very...
14:30poor head for it.
14:31My mates now, back home, the ones earning the money.
14:33They can down it till their back teeth are old.
14:35But I seem to have a constitutional defect that gets me halfway drunk on the smell of a barmaid's ear.
14:40Under your feet, wherever you go.
14:42Under your feet, wherever you go.
14:45Poor devils.
14:46And we're getting shot up before long, just like everyone else.
14:49Whatever they're doing.
14:50What do daddies think about Hitler and Mussolini making the trains run on time?
14:54When do you think it'll...
14:55Well, Philip seems to think he won't make much point in starting another term here.
14:59Most of the fellas...
15:00I know are, you know, keen to have a go.
15:02A bit of active service is what we all need now.
15:04It won't be a...
15:05cricket match, you know.
15:06It'll be bombs dropping on Sheila and the kids.
15:09Oh, come on, kid.
15:10The military targets...
15:11I've seen the military targets in Spain.
15:13It was German pilots that bombed...
15:15in Guernica for a bit of practice.
15:16There's a difference between us and a mob of Spanish peasants.
15:20Yeah.
15:21Yes, they knew what they were fighting for.
15:25Will we?
15:26Will we?
15:27Will we help?
15:28Will we help?
15:29Will we help?
15:30Let our noses clean over Spain.
15:31We said it was none of our business.
15:32Will we get into it over a piece of paper our minds is goodunden
15:35have signed and got stuck with. We'll go for Chamberlain and Baldwin
15:40and land of hope and glory and one and a half million unemployed.
15:45And I just hope we're ready when the murder starts.
15:50You talk as if you were scared, kid.
15:53I am, David.
15:56And seeing you with your pads on ready to open for England doesn't help because these
15:59fellas don't play to...
16:00rules.
16:01Also, what are we all supposed to do then? You know, sit back a knuckle under?
16:04How can I...
16:05A bloke who could chuck up everything to go and fight somebody else's war, criticise
16:09another man because he's...
16:10ready to defend his own country?
16:11Though it'll all be frightfully good fun.
16:13Oh, what the hell!
16:15You always were a superior little sub.
16:20So now it all comes out.
16:25You want help?
16:26You want to help.
16:27Are you part of the table?
16:29I really want to try to make my drawing behind the table.
16:31I'm not playing found myself in a bar in my顯 dome.
16:35So now I talk about the table when I pass away, and then I, I just gotph if it's
16:37going to witness toKnmade.
16:38So next time to welcome to the right place...
16:44Part Ashe sub slick.
16:47If I don't move as much as soon as possible, there's Paingo Peniche
16:51and all along the conditions that I add.
16:52on that entry. I can't tell you how it depresses me. Yes, I know.
16:57Anyway, I'm off up to bed now. Good night. Good night now. Good night, Dad.
17:02Good night, dear. I'll bring you a drink up, eh? Here, listen to this.
17:05Cocoa or cappuccino? Tea. You'll have no idea.
17:07Biscuit? Oh, you don't have to listen. I'm sorry, love. Start again.
17:12Biscuit. Uh, no.
17:14Indetermining for the purposes of the four...
17:17...orgoing provisions of this part of this act, whether any part of machinery is in such a position, blah...
17:22...blah, blah, blah. No account shall be taken of any person carrying out while the part of...
17:27...the machinery is in motion, an examination thereof. Do you understand it?
17:32Yes, I think so. Apart from the blah, blah bit.
17:35Well, we ought at least to try and...
17:37...and put it into plain English. What is it?
17:40I thought you said you understood it. I said what?
17:42What is it? Not what is it about?
17:43It's the 1937 Factories Act. Oh, I see.
17:47I'm having some trouble over machine guards and Sefton's got his hackles up.
17:51Why?
17:52I'm having some trouble.
17:53The fact that the fact that they can save people from being
18:00me, I...
17:57that they can even save lives is completely incidental in your brother's eyes.
18:00Oh, now, Edwin, is that...
18:02Well, it's all he ever seems to think about.
18:04We're making a very reasonable profit for all he never stops complaining.
18:07These aren't necessary things.
18:09But you take it up with Sefton, and he acts as if he were some kind of...
18:12saboteur, as if he were trying to take the money out of his own pocket instead of it being a necessary expense.
18:17He probably just had one of his moods on.
18:20Well, it's very worrying when you're trying to do your best.
18:22In fact, wearing isn't the word.
18:24You know, one of these days, he's going to drive somebody too far.
18:27And they'll turn on him.
18:32And they'll turn on him.
18:37And they'll turn on him.
18:42And they'll turn on him.
18:47And they'll turn on him.
18:52And they'll turn on him.
18:57And they'll turn on him.
18:59Gwyn?
19:00You asleep?
19:02Yeah, not quite.
19:05Shall I make some cocoa?
19:07And they'll have a couple of aspirin in mine if you've got me.
19:10I've had like a donkey engine in the morning.
19:12You haven't drunk enough for that.
19:13I told you, man.
19:13I can't take it.
19:15He's a constant source of shame to me.
19:17You haven't drunk enough.
19:31You bad?
19:32You guys, I'm a dude.
19:33You guys, I'm a dude.
19:35Want to work that way?
19:36I've been sick with a baby, man.
19:37And I take a Caesar's break at theций, man.
19:40And he will get a register.
19:42So let's see if I have a hey-rai-��-t spot.
19:44And guys have a good-looking guy.
19:45overdue lesson, that's all. Why the hell can't you lot learn to grow up? Steady Ashton, don't try outpatient.
19:50So you'll get some of the same. Okay.
19:55Let's go.
20:00What?
20:04What?
20:05One.
20:06Two.
20:07Three.
20:10Three.
20:11Three.
20:12Three.
20:13Three.
20:14Green!
20:16Quick!
20:17Quick!
20:18Quick!
20:20Quick!

20:22Quick!
20:23Quick!

20:28What's wrong?
20:29Bye.
20:30Quick!
20:31Quick!
20:32Quick!

20:53Quick!
21:19Frida and the other bridesmaid.
21:21Eh, nice little order you got the other day, Dwin.
21:23What do you mean, Jack?
21:24Yeah, I always thought we should be doing business with Jacksons.
21:27Young Tony pulling his weight, is he?
21:29Shouldn't you ask him that, Sifton?
21:31He's the manager.
21:32Oh, now, Edwin, you know how these things work.
21:34Bizarre.
21:35No hard feelings about that, are there?
21:36I was disappointed at the time.
21:38I was disappointed.
21:39I couldn't put it your way, but I had to give the lad a chance, eh?
21:42If this war has come up me, you'll get...
21:45By the way, I hope you didn't mind my clearing off last night.
21:48I don't like talking...
21:49...politics in other people's houses.
21:50What do you mean, Philip's friend?
21:52I reckon he'd had to drop too much.
21:54Don't you?
21:55Drunk on words, if you ask me.
21:56What was that rubbish he was talking about when I left?
21:59The means test.
22:00Now, what can a lad like that know about the means test?
22:03His father's not...
22:04He's an unemployed miner, as mine was, before he got his 10-bub pension.
22:09Yes, but his lad's at Oxford, a good education, and where's it leading him?
22:13Oh, they're a rum lad.
22:14They've got a lot this generation, Edwin.
22:15Oh, I don't know.
22:16They'll have to pull the socks up if Hitler really starts chucking his...
22:19...to wait about.
22:20Flabby's my word for him.
22:21Flabby.
22:22Are the bouquets in here?
22:23Yes, over there.
22:24There, love.
22:25Oh.
22:26Any sign of movement from your mother yet?
22:28Did you just come in, I think?
22:29Is it your turn, young woman?
22:30First it asks.
22:31Now, you know what they say, marrying...
22:34...to repent at leisure.
22:35Oh.
22:36I've...
22:37I've locked the back door.
22:38Right you are, love.
22:39Margaret's just coming down.
22:40The car should be back any minute now.
22:41It was just turning into the church as I came out.
22:43You won't...
22:44Don't forget to drop the latch on the front door, will you?
22:46Have you a key?
22:47No, haven't you?
22:48Well, I gave you mine.
22:49I'll give it back to you.
22:50Here we go.
22:53You're absolutely...
22:54Absolutely right.
22:55Come on then.
22:56We'll see you at the church as they say.
22:58Off you go.
22:59Yeah, come on.
23:00I'll give it.
23:01Oh, these shoes are pinched.
23:04It's only for today.
23:05Near the door first.
23:06Oh.
23:07Oh.
23:08Oh.
23:09Oh.
23:10Oh.
23:11Oh.
23:12Oh.
23:14Oh.
23:15Oh.
23:16Well, has everybody gone but us?
23:18Yeah.
23:19Yes.
23:20Oh!
23:21Oh, yes.
23:34You're looking very lovely.
23:38I suppose now's a good time to say thank you for everything.
23:42If there were any need.
23:44I think there is.
23:45You better thank your mother then.
23:46It's...
23:46It's the woman who makes the home.
23:48But it's the man who provides.
23:51Who knows...
23:51How many sacrifices that involves over the years?
23:55Swallowing pride.
23:57Sometimes.
23:58Look, love.
23:58Anybody who marries as young as your mother and I did and then brings five kids...
24:01into the world.
24:03Well, they can expect to have to make sacrifices.
24:06But look at all we...
24:06They've got the show for it.
24:08I wonder if John will be talking to our daughter like that in...
24:1120-odd years' time.
24:13I expect he very likely will.
24:14And I hope I'm still around when he does.
24:16One advantage of starting early is you've got the time to see more.
24:20One advantage of starting early is you've got the time to see more.
24:22The eldest have made me a great-grandfather before I've even retired.
24:27Are you cool?
24:31Somebody walked over my grave.
24:32The sun's gone in.
24:36Oh, it'll come.
24:37Come out again.
24:41I nearly gave you all a nasty...
24:42...shocked last night.
24:45I nearly called it off.
24:47As if...
24:47Is that all you would have said if I had...
24:50It wouldn't be natural if you...
24:52...hadn't a few doubts and uncertainties, love?
24:55Especially at a time like this.
24:57Hey, look, you haven't...
24:57...you've even got your buttonhole in.
25:00Oh, why are they all selling with these awful bits of fern?
25:02Because it's what people want, I expect.
25:04Oh, but it's in terrible taste.
25:06Where are you?
25:07You manage.
25:07Yes, thanks.
25:09There.
25:10There.
25:10Oh, now you look very smart.
25:12What is it?
25:12Love, what are you trying to tell me?
25:16We've only got a minute or two.
25:17If you don't...
25:17Say it now, you never will.
25:22I don't...
25:22I don't want children, dear.
25:24Not if there's going to be a war.
25:26Oh, when do you think you were born?
25:27I just...
25:27I just couldn't cope.
25:28Not with John away.
25:29I know I couldn't.
25:30Nonsense.
25:31I just couldn't, Dad.
25:32Margaret?
25:32You're going away from us now.
25:36You're not the type to come running back...
25:37to mother, and you won't want to anyway.
25:40But...
25:40If ever...
25:42You're in any sort of trouble.
25:46Well...
25:47We're...
25:47We're here.
25:49Yes.
25:50Yes, of course.
25:51Yes.
25:52Yes, of course.
25:52The car's here.
25:57There we are.
26:02How's that?
26:02I'm ready.
26:07You sure?
26:07Quite sure.
26:11Righto, then.
26:12Shall we go?
26:15Mind your dress.
26:16Yeah.
26:17There we are.
26:17It's amazing.
26:22It's amazing.
26:22Good morning.
26:22The photographer's here at last.
26:26Now let's have the bride and bride.
26:27Wait, wait, wait, come on, dear.
26:30Do a little bit of a smile.
26:31Oh, thank you.
26:32You're all right.
26:32It's time I was off, I'm afraid, Meg.
26:34Oh, I'm sorry, Mum.
26:36Well, never mind.
26:36Thanks for coming.
26:37It's all right.
26:39Well, it's all right, John.
26:40Come on, David.
26:41You'll be lucky.
26:42Don't let her boss you around too much.
26:45Hey, don't miss your chance.
26:46I'll try it up.
26:47Bye, Dad.
26:50Come on, let's go together.
26:51Come on.
26:52Come on.
26:52Bye, Dad.
26:53Bye, son.
26:54Ciao, Phil.
26:55Bye, Fred.
26:56Ciao, Fred.
26:57Bye.
26:57Oh, my.
27:02Oh, my.
27:02You go along, John.
27:07Come on, look.
27:07Oh, my, I don't have to know.
27:08Ah, don't know.
27:08I don't have to know.
27:09Come on, I don't have to know.
27:10Come on.
27:10Come on.
27:11Come on.
27:12Family group next.
27:15We'll all sing the red flag.
27:17We don't want any politics today, lad. Thank you very much.
27:22You know, I'm glad I've seen your Uncle Sefton. It was worth the journey.
27:32Oh, David, get off alright.
27:36Yeah, he's travelling fourth class.
27:37They're just finishing the trifle in there and there's a place for you next to Gwyn.
27:42He's had two sherrys of Sheila's, two of his own, and his accent is as thick as a plaster.
27:46Oh, good.
27:47In a mood for a bit of Welsh rhetoric.
27:52It is, it's absolutely delicious.
27:54Hello again.
27:55Hello.
27:57What happened to your mother, did you say?
27:59He had a dizzy spell on the way to the church.
28:02Harry Porter's taking her back home.
28:04They brought that sherry round too early, there's none left for them.
28:07The toasts.
28:08Oh, I'd better go and see about it.
28:11Edwin.
28:12Look at the children, haven't they been good?
28:17You what?
28:17You're good to go, don't you?
28:18I've just been.
28:19Ha ha ha ha ha.
28:22You want to?
28:23Nope.
28:24You're taking me a trifle away again.
28:25Come on.

40:44she'll hear about it from someone
40:45just as I did

40:49Margaret's keeping the other one
40:50where's it all going to go?
40:51where's it all going to go?

41:02no
41:03no

41:06no
41:07Is your friend not gone yet?
41:09No.
41:11Woolly...
41:12Will he be staying the night?
41:14I don't know, Mum.
41:17I've given Frida the wrong toast rack.
41:22I couldn't have it in a while.
41:24I'm not going to waste time.
41:26I think it'd be great to know how to take the rest.
41:30I'm going to avoid the rest where it is.
41:32There are a few other parts.
41:34I am ready to fill up the refrigerator.
41:36There have been a few other parts like that.
41:38I'm not going to use that.
41:40I have no idea if I'm hanging out with it.
41:42While I'm here in a room, I may get into your room when it's going.
41:44I'm going to try it out for the next day to take the rest of the day.
41:46I'm sorry.
41:48I'm not going to pray for the next day.
41:50I'm not going to pray for the next day.
41:51I hope you won't make too much of this on account of me.
41:54In what way?
41:56I want you to lose a friendship because you felt obliged to defend me just because I happened to be your father.
42:01That was rude. It was all a bit futile and stupid, wasn't it? But there was truth in what he said.
42:06A certain amount of truth, of course.
42:08What he implied about me? I mean, listening in silence while you...
42:11Your uncle says these outrageous things will...
42:14I do, don't I?
42:17I mean, you've seen it all before, of course.
42:20You wouldn't have to bend over...
42:21You'd have to go backwards to agree with that, would you?
42:23Don't, Dad.
42:24Don't what, son?
42:25Don't assume...
42:26That I just take everything at its face value.
42:28You don't have to defend yourself to me, Dad.
42:32Thank you, son.
42:34Oh, we'll take that stroll later.
42:36Okay?
42:37Yes.
42:38Yes.
42:39I'd like that.
43:01Oh, well.
43:02Look what the cat brought home.
43:05Can I come in?
43:06Where did you get to?
43:07The name of the street went right out of my head.
43:11Where's Philip?
43:12Upstairs.
43:13Can I go upstairs?
43:14Where's Philip?
43:15Upstairs.
43:16Can I go upstairs?
43:16Good luck.
43:17There's worse things happen at sea, you know.
43:21Is Sheila gone home?
43:22Yes.
43:23She's gone to collect the children from her mother's.
43:26I gave her a chicken.
43:27With hardly anyone coming back here, I shan't know what to do with it all.
43:32Well, they should be nicely on their way by now.
43:34Yes.
43:36Margaret said she'd telephone when they got there and let us know what the hotel and
43:38the weather was like.
43:39Yes.
43:40Good.
43:41Good.
43:42I wish they'd carried on looking for a flat.
43:46Oh, they'll be alright at the porters for a bit.
43:49She's a very highly strong woman.
43:51Yes.
43:51I suppose she is.
43:52Harry Potter's a nice chap, though.
43:54They'll be alright.
43:55You...
43:56You worry too much.
43:57Hey.
43:58I just let Trotsky in.
43:59He was peeping through the letterbox.
44:01Did he say where he'd been to?
44:02I forgot the name of the street.
44:03Hadn't you?
44:04I forgot the name of the street.
44:05Hadn't you?
44:06So...
44:07Better go up.
44:08Why?
44:09To read him a lecture on how to behave...
44:11Did he say when I guessed?
44:12No.
44:13I'm sorry, love.
44:14He's Phillip Square.
44:16My friend is between the two of them now.
44:21Where are you going then?
44:25Where are you going then?
44:26I don't say they've got much choice.
44:28I don't know how your father feels about it, but...
44:31You're bloody angry with me, ain't you?
44:33One of these days you'll learn to keep your mouth shut.
44:35Aye.
44:36One of these days we'll reach the Promised Land.
44:37You won't bring it any nearer by carrying on the way you did today.
44:41You look like your Uncle Sefterman.
44:42They make me see red.
44:44Bright bloody Bolshear.
44:46I'm sure you had a go at him.
44:47But he's watered off a duck's back.
44:49I've forgotten about it by bedtime.
44:51Tonight.
44:52What I can't forgive you for is the way you humiliated my father.
44:56I'm sorry about that.
44:57He's a nice man.
44:58Yes, he is.
44:59And he doesn't need to justify...
45:01himself to you.
45:02He's put up with Sefterman for years.
45:04He swallowed a lot he didn't like and his...
45:06He made it work because of Mum and us.
45:08You come in, you take a five minute look at what amounts to a lifetime...
45:11and you chuck your simple black and white solution in his face.
45:16I'm sorry for him.
45:17At least my father always knew the lines of battle.
45:21It was him.
45:22It was them.
45:23You don't know where you are.
45:24It's often like that.
45:26It is if you can't get through to the real issues.
45:28And you always know what they are.
45:31Look.
45:32When I go home now, the lads, they sometimes treat me...
45:36just a little bit odd-like because they're not quite sure of me.
45:39I read books.
45:40I've got...
45:41I've got brains.
45:42I'm at Oxford University with the Sons of Gentlemen.
45:44And sometimes I get a bit...
45:46I'm patient with them because they think only about shorter hours...
45:49better conditions, more pay.
45:51and are slow to grasp the bigger ideas behind what they want.
45:54Yet my heart warms when I wish...
45:56I'm with them, Philip.
45:57They're my people.
45:58And I know whose side I'm on.
46:00I went to...
46:01Spain because I had a side.
46:02Now you're back, you don't know.
46:03No, I found out while I was still there.
46:06I've listened to hard-line party men who knew all about size.
46:09The sort of men that could shoot other men in...
46:11the back.
46:12I've seen good men trapped into some stinking jail by their own side...
46:15because they had the...
46:16wrong initials on their papers.
46:17I've seen a whole group in Barcelona smashed to pieces...
46:21by their own side...
46:22because they had their idea of revolution...
46:24and the party said no.
46:26So now you've gone over?
46:27Over?
46:28Over where?
46:29Look, I don't believe my side are all knights in...
46:31shining armour.
46:32But they've got more excuse of their faults than the others.
46:35And you don't...
46:36stop believing in a cause...
46:37just because some of those involved are hard-faced bastards.
46:40Man, it's life...
46:41you're sick of it.
46:42It's human beings you don't like.
46:43You've a fine bloody cheek talking to me like that.
46:46My neck for your bloody cause.
46:47I had a bullet through me.
46:48Show me your scars.
46:49My father carries my scars.
46:50Well...
46:51good for you!
46:56You know your trouble, Philip.
46:57You've been to Spain.
46:58You've had a belly...
46:59you've been to Spain.
47:00You've had a belly...
47:02But you made your gesture
47:04Now you want to carry it about with you like a badger
47:06Don't touch me, I've done my bit
47:08And how can I say this
47:10Who's never handled a gun
47:11Or seen a man die in action
47:13Because I know what it's all about Philip
47:15And you don't
47:16Because I live in a house with a telephone and a bathroom
47:19Because I'm not a Spanish painter
47:21You're a pleasant or a Welsh coal miner
47:23Because here you're cocooned in niceness and consideration
47:26An indecent feeling
47:28If your Uncle Sefton wasn't such a swine
47:30You'd have nothing to bite on at all
47:31And with just a little bit of effort
47:33You can forget all about what's going on outside
47:35I mean
47:36The real struggle Philip
47:37The real war
47:38Not this diversion that's blowing up now
47:41But me
47:42I've only got to go home to see where the real battlefield is
47:46So now
47:46I've only got to go home to see where the real battlefield is
47:51Anybody who wasn't born on your side of the fence
47:53Don't you Gwyn?
47:56Hatred puts iron in your soul
47:58And you need iron to carry you through
48:00Well I wonder
48:01Where your kids will get their iron from
48:03Second generation not to go down the pits
48:06Father who was
48:06Always educated at Oxford
48:07Shall have to wait and see shall we?
48:11You know I envy you Gwyn
48:16You say I'm cocooned
48:18I think you are
48:19Cocooned in certainty
48:20In things
48:21Thinking you know what it's all about
48:23Everything black or white
48:25Good or bad
48:25No
48:26In-betweens
48:27No greys Gwyn
48:28No horrible doubts
48:31All that's up
48:33All that's up
48:34All that's up
48:36All that's up
48:38All that's up
48:39All that's up
48:40All that's right
48:40All that's up
48:41All that's so cool
48:42All that's up
48:43And now
48:44I'll show you
48:44OK
48:44Phil
48:46I will be
48:46Your
48:48I'm
48:48All that's up
49:05All that's up
49:06Thanks for some good times.
49:11Me too, boy.
49:21Oh, thank you, dear.
49:26Oh, where is he?
49:28Philip's friend.
49:31Oh, hello.
49:35Are you going, then?
49:36Yes, I've...
49:37I've blotted my copy book, love.
49:40Oh, I think anyone who tells you...
49:41Yes, but there's a time and a place and the general feeling seems to be that...
49:46I went too far.
49:47We shan't be seeing you again, I suppose.
49:49Well, you don't know.
49:51I was going into town myself later on.
49:54I'd have written down with you.
49:55But I'm not chained.
49:56Don't you go undermining family solidarity now.
49:58Oh, don't be silly.
49:59Nobody's really mad with you.
50:01Well, one thing leads to another.
50:03But...
50:05Take care, then, eh?
50:07You too.
50:07And don't go doing this too often, you know.
50:10The song...
50:10Always a bridesmaid, never a blushing bride.
50:12Well, there's plenty of time for that.
50:14Yes.
50:15See you then.
50:20See you then.
50:25See you then.
50:30Bye.
50:31Bye.
50:32Bye.
50:33Bye.
50:34Bye.
50:35Bye.
50:39Bye.
50:40Bye.
50:40Bye.
50:46Bye.
50:48Bye.
50:52Bye.
50:56so. Real friends aren't so easily lost, you know.
51:01I haven't had a clear report of what he actually said to Sefton.
51:05No.
51:07Was it so amusing?
51:09Not at the time, no.
51:11Sefton was demanding that I'd sack a man at the works.
51:14Do you think he ought to be sacked?
51:16No.
51:18Well, I hardly think it's worth...
51:21jeopardising my own position for the sake of some workman?
51:25I wasn't going to say that.
51:26I've got a sworn you were.
51:30You're the one...
51:31the one who's got to work with Sefton.
51:33Don't I know it?
51:36No.
51:37No.
51:38No.
51:39No.
51:40No.
51:41No.
51:41I wonder what time Margaret will ring.
51:43Oh, give her time, love.
51:46It's a pity Robert couldn't be here.
51:49There's no end to it, is there?
51:50You put one down...
51:51down for a while, pick up another...
51:53like a bit of knitting.
51:56What?
51:57Children.
52:00Yes.
52:01There's no piece.
52:04There's no piece.
52:06They use the place like holiday camp.
52:08They're just passing through on the way to parliament or...
52:11the civil service or a plush line niche in the old man's business.
52:14Any more of them where they came from?
52:16For me...
52:17I'm one off.
52:19When I won my scholarship...
52:21Oh, I'm one off.
52:22I'm just going to leave.
52:23Oh, my goodness.
52:24Oh, that...
52:25That's it.
52:26Oh
