00:11:43Et aussi, il va être un grand succès à ce jour-là.
00:11:47Je pensais que c'était moi.
00:11:48Vous aussi. Si vous devriez faire quelque chose de ça.
00:11:50Comme un café pour vous ?
00:11:52Oui, je n'ai jamais appelé à vous encore.
00:12:16Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:12:43que vous avez dit quand nous étions, ne vous, pas de vous ?
00:12:44Non, only 4 ale-bars.
00:12:49Don't you like coffee-bars, Mrs Walswick ?
00:12:51I've something better to do
00:12:53than be sat sitting drinking a cup of half-froth
00:12:55while I'm being deaf
00:12:56and be some young lad shouting at me out of a junk box.
00:13:00Jukebox, Mum ?
00:13:00Well, whatever it is.
00:13:02I can think of nicer ways of having me ears pierced.
00:13:04Leslie's lending me some of his notes on Electramus.
00:13:07Oh, that's right. Nicer, then.
00:13:08That's the one.
00:13:09Oh, thanks.
00:13:10Well, we mustn't keep Valerie chatting.
00:13:12You must have some homework of your own to do.
00:13:14Yes, the dynamics of falling bodies.
00:13:17Ooh.
00:13:18Dynamics of falling bodies.
00:13:19Well, you'll find out how they fell much quicker on your own,
00:13:22won't you, love ?
00:13:23Goodbye.
00:13:24Bye, Valerie.
00:13:25You must come round and have a cup of tea sometime.
00:13:28Oh, thanks.
00:13:28Goodbye.
00:13:29Goodbye.
00:13:33Nice girl, that.
00:13:35No-one would think so from the way you bundled her out.
00:13:37Oh, you keep your mind on your examinations and leave the bundle in to me.
00:13:41Plenty of time to see Valerie after you've got your degree.
00:13:45Come on now, Joe.
00:13:47Charlie will want that chair when he comes in.
00:13:49Well, whose chair is it ?
00:13:50It belongs to the house.
00:13:51But Charlie's sat in it ever since we've lived here.
00:13:54You can't evict him now.
00:13:55He's a sitting tenant.
00:13:56Well, let him be a standing tenant.
00:13:58It's time I had a bit of comfort in me own home.
00:14:00Come on now.
00:14:00You know the rules.
00:14:02Charlie sits in it at night and you sit in it in the daytime.
00:14:05But I'm sleeping in the day.
00:14:06That's your fault for being a night watchman.
00:14:09Internal security officer, if you please.
00:14:12Here, get that down your internal security and stop mithering.
00:14:19And don't you want anything to eat ?
00:14:21No.
00:14:22I haven't the time.
00:14:23I'm going to the theatre with Charlie Todger.
00:14:26You know quite well for the past 23 years, every Friday night, I've gone to the theatre with Charlie.
00:14:30Yes, but I didn't think you'd go on that honeymoon.
00:14:32I had to spend the old day entirely by myself.
00:14:34Don't tell lies.
00:14:36You had me mother with you.
00:14:37How did you get to be an internal security officer, Dad ?
00:14:41Influence.
00:14:42Idleness.
00:14:43Nothing of the kind.
00:14:45My father died and left me his job at Bradley's Mills.
00:14:48Yeah, and left me a grass widow six nights in the week.
00:14:53Charlie.
00:14:54Hello, Hilda.
00:14:54Better late than never.
00:14:55Hello, Joe.
00:14:56What's new at the allotment ?
00:14:57Half a ton of manure.
00:14:59Joe.
00:15:00Well, he asked.
00:15:01You've got to have manure if you want prize hydrangeas.
00:15:03Well, you don't have to have it for your tea.
00:15:06Would you like a cup, Charlie ?
00:15:07No, there's no time, love.
00:15:08We'd better be on our way.
00:15:09Oh, I just want to try this on.
00:15:11It's something I've bought.
00:15:11It's payday today.
00:15:15What are you going to see tonight, Mum ?
00:15:16It's a problem play called Why Girls Go Wrong.
00:15:20I've had my suspicions for a long time.
00:15:22I shall know for sure after tonight.
00:15:27How do I look ?
00:15:28Oh, I think you look smashing, doesn't it, Joe ?
00:15:32Oh, it's got a sort of bloodshot silk effect that matches your eyes.
00:15:40Oh, now that reminds me of somebody.
00:15:42I know, Marshal Dillon.
00:15:45Hiya, Sheriff.
00:15:46Just hit town with a bunch of steers from the Barrex Ranch, and boy, could I use a drink.
00:15:52Oh, go down them Persian scurs.
00:15:55Shall I keep it on ?
00:15:57Oh, yes, you'll cause a sensation.
00:15:59I'll feel as if I'm being ridden out of town by a bossy.
00:16:02Well, we'd better get going, then, Hilda.
00:16:04Oh, yes.
00:16:05I haven't had time to change me dress today.
00:16:06Never mind.
00:16:08I don't suppose anybody will notice me underneath me coat.
00:16:12I hope.
00:16:15Now, Joe, you finish your tea and get out to work,
00:16:18and leave our Leslie to his science.
00:16:21Come on, Charlie.
00:16:27She's going mad, you know.
00:16:28What with her why girls leave home,
00:16:31and Charlie wearing teddy boy fancy waistcoats.
00:16:35You know, this house will be getting a bad name with the neighbours.
00:16:38You're going now, Dad.
00:16:39Aye.
00:16:39I'd better get on with the work, then.
00:16:48Bloody am I again.
00:16:51Good night, Les.
00:16:52Good night, Dad.
00:16:55Good night, Dad.
00:16:59Why can't you get a regular job like everybody else?
00:17:02You could always work here at night.
00:17:03What do you want to do?
00:17:04Make a stuffed shirt out of me?
00:17:05You'd make more money.
00:17:07I like singing.
00:17:08Time enough to worry about what you call a regular job
00:17:10when I get the sack from here.
00:17:12Just waiting for that breaker.
00:17:13That never comes.
00:17:16This is time I did some work,
00:17:17or else the boss would start to kick.
00:17:19Wait for me.
00:17:19I'll be back.
00:17:21Okay.
00:17:23Okay.
00:17:29Without a shoulder to cry on
00:17:34No one to worry or care
00:17:42What shall I do when troubles come my way
00:17:48Without a shoulder to cry on
00:17:55Someone to love and rely on
00:18:00Someone whose life you can share
00:18:08I get that lonely feeling every day
00:18:14Without a shoulder to cry on
00:18:19I find till the end of time
00:18:25One who'll say she's mine
00:18:29Some way, somehow
00:18:33I'll pray for love till I do
00:18:39But now I wonder whether life's worthwhile
00:18:46Without a shoulder to cry on
00:18:50Coffee, please.
00:18:53I'll keep on searching till the end of time
00:19:00Until I find someone who'll say she's mine
00:19:07Somewhere, somehow
00:19:08I will find one
00:19:14What's his name?
00:19:15Taylor Roy.
00:19:16It's good, isn't it?
00:19:17Not bad.
00:19:18Not bad at all.
00:19:20But now I wonder whether life's worthwhile
00:19:25Without a shoulder to cry on
00:19:32Without a shoulder to cry on
00:19:47Hi, Terry.
00:19:50Do you spare a moment?
00:19:51Sure, what can I do for you?
00:19:52I'd like to have a chat with you
00:19:54Might prove worth your while
00:19:55Oh, yes?
00:19:57Coffee?
00:19:58No, thanks.
00:19:59I enjoyed your number
00:20:00Been working here long?
00:20:02About a year
00:20:02Worked anywhere else?
00:20:04Singing?
00:20:05No, I haven't
00:20:07Don't suppose they pay you much money here?
00:20:09Seven pounds a week
00:20:10Plus free grub and coffee
00:20:13But why are the questions?
00:20:15I think you can go places
00:20:17Properly managed
00:20:18I'm John Dawson
00:20:20I'd like to have you under my management
00:20:22I've heard of you, Mr. Dawson
00:20:23You over 21?
00:20:25I'm almost 23
00:20:26Good
00:20:26Then you can do your own business
00:20:29Hello, darling
00:20:30I'll buy you coffee
00:20:31No, thank you
00:20:34How about coming out for a real drink then, eh?
00:20:37Oh, get lost
00:20:38I can't promise anything for certain
00:20:40But I'd like you to come up to London for a few days
00:20:42For audition
00:20:43London?
00:20:44I'll pay expenses
00:20:45Don't worry about that
00:20:47I'm not waiting any longer, Terry
00:20:48Good night
00:20:49See you tomorrow
00:20:52If you're what I think
00:20:53You'll laugh at seven quid a week
00:20:54Plus coffee
00:20:54You'll be able to afford champagne
00:20:56Sounds great
00:21:13You're late
00:21:14Am I?
00:21:15The shop closed two hours ago
00:21:17Where have you been?
00:21:17Your supper's all spoiled
00:21:18I'm not really hungry
00:21:20I had a coffee with Terry
00:21:21Have you been seeing that teddy boy again?
00:21:23Everybody who wears jeans isn't a teddy boy
00:21:25Maybe not, but he is
00:21:27Never done a day's work in his life
00:21:29Terry's a singer
00:21:30That's honest work
00:21:31What?
00:21:32Twanging a banjo
00:21:33To drown the noise of people slurping their coffee
00:21:35You call that honest work?
00:21:36It isn't a banjo
00:21:38It's a guitar
00:21:38I don't care if he plays a left-handed euphonium
00:21:41That layabout's a layabout
00:21:42And I won't have you associating with him
00:21:44And if I catch you with him again, so help me
00:21:46I'll take off one of his wiggle pickers
00:21:48And stab him to death
00:21:50I'm sure I don't know what you see in such people, Marilyn
00:21:52You certainly don't get it from your father or I
00:21:54Why can't you keep to friends like Leslie Worswick?
00:21:57Now there's a nice, gentlemanly lad
00:21:59Aye, and a clever one too
00:22:00They tell me he's doing right well up at college
00:22:02Les is all right
00:22:03He's young
00:22:04He's dull
00:22:05Well, he can't be so very dull to be passing all those exams
00:22:09Where's that going to get him?
00:22:11It's going to get him into a good job, that's what
00:22:13Something that your coffee bar wasters could never achieve, my girl
00:22:15Although I must admit I never cared much for that common mother of his
00:22:19I've got to give her credit for wanting to do the best for the lad
00:22:23See who that is, Clarence
00:22:27You should ask Leslie round sometimes
00:22:29He's a good, steady lad with fine prospects
00:22:32I'm sure he doesn't think about jazz all day
00:22:34It's Leslie
00:22:35We were just talking about you, lad
00:22:37Evening, Mrs. Smallhope
00:22:38Good evening, Leslie
00:22:40I hear you're getting on well up at college, Leslie
00:22:43They tell me you're going to get a degree
00:22:46Well, I...
00:22:46That's all I like to see, a lad who knows where he's going
00:22:48And how he's going to get there
00:22:50How's your dear mother, Leslie?
00:22:52She's fine, thanks, Mrs. Smallhope
00:22:54And what is it you're studying, Leslie, lad?
00:22:56Well, I'm... I'm hoping for a B.S.C.
00:23:00Ah, very nice, too
00:23:02Get you a right good job somewhere, I shouldn't wonder, eh?
00:23:05Dad, Les has come round here to talk to me about dancing, haven't you, Les?
00:23:10Yes, I was hoping we might find time for some practice before the competition on Saturday
00:23:15I brought the record
00:23:16We used to dance when we were younger
00:23:17Didn't we, your fame here?
00:23:19Remember how we used to do the dancers?
00:23:20Yes, well, I'm sure Leslie doesn't want to hear about the dancers, Clarence
00:23:24He's gone here to practice with Marilyn
00:23:25So we can go round to your sister's Mary and leave them to get on with it
00:23:28I hope I'm not being a nuisance
00:23:31Marilyn's friends are never a nuisance, Leslie
00:23:33Of course you must practice
00:23:34We'll go and leave you to it
00:23:36Come along, Clarence
00:23:42I hope they don't mind my coming round like this
00:23:45They're delighted
00:23:46You're in the top class where they're concerned
00:24:02Let's hear it a couple of times before we practice a routine
00:24:13This music really does something to me, doesn't it, to you?
00:24:17Well, um, no, not really
00:24:19How do you mean?
00:24:21You really are young, aren't you?
00:24:23Well, I'm not much younger than you
00:24:25What's that got to do with it, anyway?
00:24:27I bet you've never even kissed a girl
00:24:29I have
00:24:30Let's see
00:24:31Kiss me
00:24:51That's better
00:25:01Leslie?
00:25:13Leslie?
00:25:15Leslie?
00:25:21Oh, I thought I saw you, Valerie
00:25:24I'm afraid they're all out
00:25:25I popped over myself a few minutes ago
00:25:27To see if I could borrow
00:25:28To see if they were at home
00:25:30But they weren't
00:25:31Oh, it doesn't really matter
00:25:32I was just returning these notes I'd borrowed from Leslie
00:25:34That's good of you
00:25:36That's a principle I believe in, too
00:25:40Aerodynamics?
00:25:40No, I mean always returning things you've borrowed
00:25:43A good principle
00:25:45Leslie went out about an hour or so ago
00:25:47But maybe he won't be long now
00:25:49Would you like to wait?
00:25:50I could make you a nice cup of tea
00:25:52Oh, no, thank you
00:25:53I'll just leave this for him
00:26:02Well!
00:26:04Well, really, Madeline
00:26:07We...
00:26:07We were just, um...
00:26:09I know you were, Leslie
00:26:10And I must say I'm very surprised
00:26:12I think you'd better go
00:26:13Well, I...
00:26:14I was just going
00:26:16Good night, Mrs. Smallhope
00:26:18Good night!
00:26:21Really, Madeline
00:26:22Just what's been going on here?
00:26:24He just kissed me, that's all
00:26:25I saw he was kissing you
00:26:27What else I'd like to know?
00:26:28Nothing else
00:26:28He just kissed me
00:26:29Haven't you ever been kissed?
00:26:31Not like that
00:26:32Your father always behaved like a gentleman
00:26:33Oh, grow up!
00:26:52It's no use
00:26:52It'll have to go
00:26:53I didn't mind it when I were a little and three months ago
00:26:56But look at it now
00:26:57It's got more branches than the district bank
00:27:00We'll soon have to be eaten in the parlor
00:27:02Would you like another cup of tea, Charlie?
00:27:04While you've still room to move your arm?
00:27:06No, thanks, Hilda
00:27:07I've finished
00:27:07Well, come on, then
00:27:09Sit in the chair and have a read at the paper
00:27:11No, I'd better not
00:27:11It's Tuesday
00:27:12Joe's late night for starting
00:27:14The chair's his until he goes on Tuesday
00:27:15Well, if it's his late night
00:27:17He'll be in bed until it's time to go to work
00:27:18Come on, park it, lad
00:27:21Find him's keepings
00:27:26You've had a hard life, Hilda
00:27:27With a husband who thinks of nothing but allotments and night watching
00:27:32What's he ever done for you?
00:27:33Well, he didn't marry me
00:27:34Which is more than you ever offered to do
00:27:36Only because I was waiting for my ship to come in
00:27:39Then I'd still be a spinster on the high seas
00:27:41And I wouldn't have our Leslie
00:27:44He means a lot to you, doesn't he?
00:27:46He does
00:27:48Why didn't you have any more children?
00:27:50Well, we just didn't get round to it
00:27:53Joe became a night watchman
00:27:55Where is Leslie?
00:27:56Shouldn't he be in or is he out with that girl?
00:27:59What girl?
00:28:00You know, the blonde one, Marilyn
00:28:01Of course not
00:28:02They only go dancing together
00:28:04I hear she fainted away at work yesterday
00:28:06Came over right queer in the middle of serving a customer with Marty Wilde
00:28:10And had to be sent home
00:28:11Who told you that?
00:28:13Our office boy
00:28:13He's always hanging around that record bar where she works
00:28:16Listening to all that noisy music
00:28:18He says he digs her
00:28:20Digs her?
00:28:21No wonder she fainted
00:28:22He means he likes her
00:28:25Why didn't you say so?
00:28:26Instead of talking about the girl as if she's Howard Joe's allotment
00:28:29It's the way they talk
00:28:30He says she's real cool
00:28:32I'm not surprised with what little she was
00:28:34It's a wonder she's not frozen
00:28:36Well, I just thought you'd like to know
00:28:38Why should I want to know what you and your office boy talk about at the town hall?
00:28:42Well, with Leslie going round with her
00:28:43I mean, if he were my son
00:28:46Which he isn't
00:28:47He's my son
00:28:48And I'll thank you not to make nasty incinerations
00:28:52Hello, love
00:28:53Hello, Mum
00:28:53Food's ready
00:28:54Hello, Uncle Charlie
00:28:55Hello, lad
00:29:00See who that is at the front door, will you, Charlie?
00:29:02Aye
00:29:08Charlie's just been telling me your friend Marilyn was taken right queer yesterday
00:29:12Well, what's the matter with her?
00:29:14I think she's been digging too much
00:29:15She was all right when I last saw her
00:29:17Perhaps it's listening to all that jazz every day
00:29:22Hilda, you've got visitors
00:29:23Visitors?
00:29:24Aye, I've put them in the parlour
00:29:25I think you'd better go
00:29:30Clear that table for me, will you, Charlie?
00:29:31Aye
00:29:37Why, Phoebe, Clarence, this is a surprise
00:29:40I haven't seen you since the jumble sale
00:29:43Did those combinations fit Clarence all right?
00:29:46We haven't come here to discuss my husband's underwear with outsiders
00:29:49Where's me manners? I'll go and put the kettle on
00:29:51No, thank you, Mrs. Worswick
00:29:53We've come here with some bad news
00:29:55Oh, it's not about your Marilyn, is it?
00:29:57I heard she wasn't well
00:29:59I do hope it's nothing serious
00:30:00She's going to have a baby, that's all
00:30:02That's good
00:30:03I'm glad it's not more...
00:30:06A baby?
00:30:07That's what I said
00:30:07Where's your Joe?
00:30:09In bed
00:30:10Then get him up
00:30:11He's in on this
00:30:12He's what?
00:30:14You fee me a small hope
00:30:15Are you trying to suggest that my husband...
00:30:17Oh, no, not Joe
00:30:18I should think not
00:30:20In bed all day
00:30:21And at Bradley's Mills all night
00:30:23Why, I hardly ever see him meself
00:30:25All the same
00:30:25I think it's better he should hear what we have to say
00:30:27I don't see why
00:30:28Why tell us?
00:30:30Go and tell the father
00:30:32By gum
00:30:33I'd tell him a thing or two
00:30:35Mind you, fee me
00:30:36It's not for me to criticise
00:30:37But I wouldn't allow a daughter of mine to work at that record bar
00:30:40With people digging her all over the place
00:30:43Anyway
00:30:43The main thing now is to get her married
00:30:46I'm glad to hear you say that
00:30:47Because here's the father
00:30:50It's a lie
00:30:52How dare you?
00:30:55Don't just stand there, Leslie
00:30:57Tell them it isn't true
00:30:58Ask him about the night I caught them together in our lounge
00:31:02Well?
00:31:04I'm sorry, Mum
00:31:04I guess it is true
00:31:06Hold your tongue
00:31:07There you are
00:31:08He's admitted it
00:31:09Now let's get them married
00:31:10Go upstairs and get your father
00:31:11Tell him to come down here quick
00:31:13Don't you bother to come back
00:31:14I'll settle this woman and have false accusations
00:31:19I can see this has been a shock to you
00:31:21It was to us
00:31:22The only shock I've had
00:31:23Is your brass neck in trying to pin it on our Leslie
00:31:26The best thing, as you say
00:31:28Is to get them married off quick
00:31:29Our Leslie's not getting married for another ten years
00:31:32Now, Mrs. Worswick
00:31:33You said yourself we should get Marilyn married
00:31:36That was before anybody mentioned our Leslie
00:31:41Dad
00:31:43Dad
00:31:43Dad
00:31:44Dad
00:31:44Why, what's the matter?
00:31:45Get up, Dad
00:31:46Don't talk nonsense
00:31:47It's not time yet
00:31:48Mother says you've got to get up and come downstairs at once
00:31:51What's the panic?
00:31:52To talk about the wedding
00:31:53Wedding?
00:31:54After twenty-three years
00:31:56She's going round the bend
00:31:57What's done is done
00:31:58We must just make the best of it
00:32:00And the best is to get them married off quick
00:32:03Far be it from me to criticise the way some people bring their sons up
00:32:06But as Karen says, these things do happen
00:32:09Well, you ought to know
00:32:10What do you mean?
00:32:12Well, everybody in Pendleford knows that's how you hook Clarence
00:32:15When you worked in Marshall's bargain basement as a cashier
00:32:18Kidding him he'd got your cash balance in the red
00:32:21Really?
00:32:22Mrs. Worswick
00:32:23I remember how we all laughed when you and Marilyn weren't born till eighteen months after the wedding
00:32:27Well
00:32:30You're not landing the same trick on our Leslie
00:32:32Not likely
00:32:33That's liable
00:32:34Is it?
00:32:35Twenty year ago at the common knowledge
00:32:38So don't come it with me, fee me small hope
00:32:42I know too much about you
00:32:44What the hell's going on down here?
00:32:47Oh, we've got company
00:32:48Sorry
00:32:49Why didn't someone tell me?
00:32:51Joe
00:32:53My daughter is going to have a baby
00:32:55Oh, congratulations
00:32:57I'm sure you must be very happy
00:32:58Now, if you'll excuse me
00:33:00I'm going back to bed
00:33:02And your son's the father
00:33:04He's admitted it
00:33:05That's very nice
00:33:08I must be going deaf or something
00:33:10I thought she said that Leslie were the kid's father
00:33:13She did
00:33:14And if she says it again
00:33:15Big as she is
00:33:16I'll flatten her
00:33:17Well, I can't believe it
00:33:20Now, it's upsetting
00:33:21But we must calmly
00:33:22What's to be done
00:33:22I've said what's to be done
00:33:24A wedding
00:33:25The lad's too young to be wed
00:33:27But old enough to take advantage of innocent girls
00:33:29Innocent as our tabby cat
00:33:31Wives for everybody
00:33:33Takes after her mother
00:33:34Just say that again
00:33:36Now, now
00:33:37We mustn't lose our tempers
00:33:38You speak for yourself
00:33:40Like mother, like daughter
00:33:41I remember, Theemy
00:33:43When we were girls
00:33:44On the Sunday school outing with the new curate
00:33:47That's why their family had to turn chapel
00:33:49Well
00:33:50And anyway, he can't keep her on his pocket money
00:33:53It doesn't matter
00:33:54Because he's not marrying her
00:33:56He can't marry without my husband's consent
00:33:59Which I shan't give
00:34:00Then may I ask what you're going to do about my daughter's condition?
00:34:03We wouldn't presume to interfere with anything that doesn't concern us
00:34:07Then we shall prove in court that you're Leslie's to blame
00:34:10I still wouldn't let him marry her
00:34:13Not while I've got breath in my veins
00:34:15Firstly, because she's not good enough for him
00:34:18And in the second place
00:34:19I wouldn't wish you on any lad as a mother-in-law
00:34:22Come along, Clavents
00:34:39I'll fight them
00:34:40I'll fight them in the re-offices
00:34:42The church porches and on the altar steps
00:34:44I'll never see my son join to that family in Deadlock
00:34:48Where is he?
00:34:49By good mind
00:34:50Leslie, Leslie, Leslie, I want you
00:34:53Come down here
00:34:56Oh, gone out
00:34:58And will he might
00:34:59How could he?
00:35:01How could he have done such a thing
00:35:03With all his education?
00:35:05Well, it's not really difficult
00:35:06I did it
00:35:07I only went to an elementary school
00:35:11Will you stop dithering
00:35:12And get your shirt on?
00:35:14Running around the house with no clothes on
00:35:16No wonder the lad gets ideas
00:35:18I wasn't running around
00:35:19I was in bed
00:35:21Joe Worswick
00:35:22You ought to be ashamed of yourself
00:35:24Your own son
00:35:25Accused of getting a girl in trouble
00:35:26And all you can think about is bed
00:35:28Well, I've got another hour
00:35:29Look
00:35:30Get this shirt on
00:35:31And stop messing about
00:35:33And think
00:35:34I'm not saying the lad's responsible
00:35:35But if he is
00:35:36It's easy to see where it comes from
00:35:39I'm going to stop this marriage
00:35:41I couldn't bear it
00:35:42To see my lad
00:35:43Stood standing there
00:35:44With that little flibberty gibbet
00:35:46While the parson says
00:35:47Ashes to ashes
00:35:48And dust to dust
00:35:49Hilda
00:35:50I think you're in the wrong church
00:35:52And to have to have photos to
00:35:53With that euphemious smallope
00:35:55And Clarence
00:35:56And half Pendleford
00:35:57Looking on
00:35:59And where would they live?
00:36:00I'm not having that Marilyn
00:36:02Under my roof
00:36:03Perhaps they could live
00:36:04With the smallopes
00:36:05What?
00:36:06My son lived there
00:36:08He'd starve
00:36:09You've only to look at the colour
00:36:11Of the doorstep
00:36:11To see what a cooking's like
00:36:13No
00:36:14I said we'll fight
00:36:15And we will
00:36:16Here
00:36:17Get your jacket on
00:36:20But I've got another hour yet
00:36:22We're going down to see
00:36:24Charlie Todger
00:36:24To get his legal advice
00:36:26But Charlie's not a lawyer
00:36:29He works in the next office
00:36:31To the town clerk
00:36:32Doesn't he?
00:36:33And remember
00:36:33All at one time tonight
00:36:54Good evening Mrs. Smallhope
00:36:56I wondered if I could have a word with Marilyn
00:36:58Make it two words
00:37:00And they'd better be our will
00:37:01And you can save them for the vicar
00:37:03But I thought it would be a good idea
00:37:04To see her
00:37:05And talk about what we're going to do
00:37:07You mean talk about
00:37:08What you've already done
00:37:08Well you can't see her anyway
00:37:10She's not here
00:37:11It may interest you to know
00:37:12Young man
00:37:13That after the disgraceful way
00:37:14You've treated her
00:37:15The poor child's left home
00:37:17Left home?
00:37:18She couldn't face the disgrace
00:37:19You've brought upon her
00:37:20But where's she gone?
00:37:21I've got to see her
00:37:22You'll see her at the wedding
00:37:24And not before
00:37:24Anything else you've got to say
00:37:26You can put in writing
00:37:27To our solicitor
00:37:28Good night
00:37:30Well it certainly looks black
00:37:31Against the lad
00:37:32He may look as black
00:37:34As the ace of spades
00:37:35But what he is
00:37:36Is shining
00:37:37Shining white
00:37:39I'm his mother
00:37:40So I should know
00:37:42And you think the whole thing
00:37:43Might be a try on?
00:37:44Of course it is
00:37:44That euphemia small
00:37:46Ope's at it again
00:37:47But I'm not having it
00:37:48I'm going to put a notice
00:37:49In the paper
00:37:50That'll stop folks talking
00:37:52What sort of notice?
00:37:53Like my cousin Bert
00:37:54Does every year
00:37:55Before the spring sales starts
00:37:56Take note
00:37:58I will not be responsible
00:37:59For any debts
00:38:00Incured by my wife
00:38:02Only I'm going to do it
00:38:03Like the council does it
00:38:05Like no spitting on top deck
00:38:07Penalty 40 shillings
00:38:08Well that hardly applies to Leslie
00:38:10It will
00:38:11You write it down
00:38:13While I make it up
00:38:15Now let's see
00:38:17You work at the council
00:38:18Oh just the town clerk do his
00:38:20Well at the top
00:38:22He puts notice
00:38:23Oh that's very good
00:38:24I like that
00:38:25Put that down
00:38:27And then what?
00:38:28Then he says
00:38:29I Hezekiah Ramsbottom
00:38:31Clerk of the parish
00:38:32Hereby notified
00:38:33Oh that's too long
00:38:34Besides I'm not
00:38:35Hezekiah Ramsbottom
00:38:36Am I?
00:38:37He wants something
00:38:38More to the point
00:38:39Let's see
00:38:40I've got it
00:38:41There
00:38:42I
00:38:43Hilda Worswick
00:38:44Will not be responsible
00:38:46For my son's mistakes
00:38:48Well it still seems to leave the lad in the cart
00:38:50Yeah
00:38:51Well we'll have to change it won't we
00:38:53Erm
00:38:54Let's think
00:38:55I know
00:38:56Er
00:38:57We
00:38:58Hilda Worswick
00:39:00Joe Worswick
00:39:01And Leslie Worswick
00:39:02Are not responsible
00:39:04For Marilyn Smallhope's little lapses
00:39:07If any
00:39:09Which we doubt
00:39:13Gossipers will be persecuted
00:39:15By order
00:39:17Hilda Worswick
00:39:19Now read it out
00:39:20We
00:39:21Hilda Worswick
00:39:23Joe Worswick
00:39:23Leslie Worswick
00:39:24Are not responsible
00:39:25For Marilyn Smallhope's little lapses
00:39:28If any
00:39:28Which we doubt
00:39:29Gossipers will be prosecuted
00:39:31By order
00:39:32Hilda Worswick
00:39:33That's champion
00:39:34Now
00:39:35I'll take that down to the Pendleford advertiser
00:39:37First thing in the morning
00:39:38And I'll have it put on the front page
00:39:40Between the Hippodrome
00:39:41And Robinson's Funeral Parlor
00:39:43You might just as well put it in Robinson's Funeral Parlor
00:39:46For all the good it may do you
00:39:47You drink your drink
00:39:48And don't talk so much
00:39:52You haven't answered my question
00:39:54Is it true?
00:39:55Why does everybody keep saying is it true?
00:39:58Is what true?
00:39:59That Marilyn Smallhope's going to have a baby
00:40:00And that you've got to marry her
00:40:02What business is it of theirs anyway?
00:40:04Oh Leslie you're such a fool
00:40:05I told you what she was like
00:40:08Well if you want to know
00:40:09I am going to marry her
00:40:11Perhaps that'll make everybody shut up
00:40:13Well it'll make you shut up to start with
00:40:15Well she managed to trap you at last
00:40:16She must be very happy isn't she?
00:40:18I don't know if she's gone away
00:40:20Gone away?
00:40:22Well then why are you bothering?
00:40:24If she's not worrying why should you?
00:40:26You can't just walk out on her
00:40:27But she's just walked out on you
00:40:29You just said so
00:40:30Perhaps it's because of the scandal
00:40:31You know what this place is
00:40:33When she knows I'm ready to marry her
00:40:34She'll come back
00:40:35And you'll just marry her?
00:40:36No questions asked?
00:40:38Yes
00:40:39Oh Leslie why are you so stupid?
00:40:43Do you love her or not?
00:40:45Yes
00:40:47Yes of course I do
00:40:50How can you keep a wife?
00:40:51What are you going to use for money?
00:40:53I have to get a job
00:40:55What about your degree?
00:40:57I'll have to forget about that
00:41:00Oh
00:41:01Why did you ever learn to dance?
00:41:06Hello Mr Dodger
00:41:08Whatever are you doing?
00:41:09Just thinking
00:41:09Sometimes I sit
00:41:11And sometimes I sit and think
00:41:12Ah thinking's going to be needed in this house
00:41:14It's beginning to look very ugly for the Wallswick
00:41:16It's very ugly indeed
00:41:17Oh that's
00:41:18No no no
00:41:18Stay where you are
00:41:19You've always liked that chair
00:41:20Haven't you Mr Dodger?
00:41:22I remember you sitting there
00:41:24Young and handsome
00:41:2525 years ago
00:41:26When Hilda's mother were alive
00:41:28I've often wondered why you didn't move
00:41:30Somewhere you'd be the only man in place
00:41:32I couldn't desert Hilda now
00:41:33No of course not
00:41:3625 years
00:41:37My father and mother were alive then
00:41:39And now I'm all alone in that big house
00:41:42Five rooms and inside sanitation
00:41:46There's me father's chair there by the fireside
00:41:48And his slippers
00:41:49And his pipe rack
00:41:50All crying out for a man
00:41:51And so am I
00:41:53What'd you say?
00:41:54I said it makes you want to cry
00:41:56I've even got me dad's suits upstairs
00:41:58And his teeth in bathroom
00:41:59You should plug them back to the National Health
00:42:01I'll keep them for sentimental reasons
00:42:04Five rooms and going to waste
00:42:07I've often thought to take in a lodger
00:42:09But I'm a single woman
00:42:10And you know some people gossip
00:42:12In no time at all
00:42:13They change me from a mist to a madam
00:42:15And we don't want that to win
00:42:17No we don't
00:42:18Though mind you
00:42:19It might be no worse for the man
00:42:20Than lodging in house where there's goings on
00:42:22Not that I'm saying anything against Ilda though
00:42:25Because I've always been a good friend to her
00:42:27Even though she has been a bit cool the last few days
00:42:30I don't know why
00:42:32Don't you Jenny?
00:42:33Well I'll tell you
00:42:35I don't like the way you've been chattering to the neighbours
00:42:38About our Leslie and Marilyn Smallhope
00:42:40I've only said what I've seen
00:42:41According to Mrs Jenkins at the corner shop
00:42:44It sounds more like a Roman orgy
00:42:46I only spoke about the time they were kissing
00:42:48Outside your front door week or two ago
00:42:50Why didn't you tell me?
00:42:52I thought you knew
00:42:53And you know how I hate gossiping
00:42:55Anyway I thought nothing of it
00:42:57Because I've seen the lass at night
00:42:58With lots of other men
00:43:00Would you swear to that in court Jenny?
00:43:02I won't have to
00:43:03It's not coming to court
00:43:05Clarence Smallhope says
00:43:06Your Leslie's bound to marry the lass
00:43:08Oh he did did he?
00:43:10We'll see about that
00:43:11Now then Jenny
00:43:12What about these other men you've seen her with?
00:43:14Well I don't know
00:43:16I wouldn't want to take no holes
00:43:18Well you said it
00:43:19When was it?
00:43:21Well it's hard to remember
00:43:22What men?
00:43:24What were their names?
00:43:25Oh I didn't have my glasses
00:43:30I'll paralyse that woman one of these days
00:43:32Ah I bet you heard what she said
00:43:33What were the lad doing with that lass at midnight?
00:43:36Oh I'm getting fed up with it all
00:43:38There's Jenny Higginbottom there
00:43:40Walking about like the central office of misinformation
00:43:42And the Smallhopes
00:43:44Asking the particular Baptist
00:43:45How much their haul is for hire for the reception
00:43:48I can't even walk into the co-op wool department now
00:43:51Without some assistant
00:43:52Trying to show me romper sets
00:43:54Hello Uncle Charlie
00:43:57Where have you been?
00:43:58Out
00:43:58Doing what?
00:44:00I don't know
00:44:01These last few days
00:44:01You're always asking me what I've been doing
00:44:04Can you blame me?
00:44:05After what you've done already?
00:44:08Go and see who that is Charlie
00:44:11And if it's the man from the nappy service
00:44:13Tell him we're not interested
00:44:16Have you seen Marilyn yet?
00:44:18No I haven't
00:44:19I can't think what's happened
00:44:20Look Mum
00:44:21Do you think I ought to go down
00:44:23And see the vicar by myself?
00:44:24You'll do no such thing
00:44:25What with you and your father
00:44:26I'm
00:44:28I said you wouldn't see them Hilda
00:44:29But they pushed right past me
00:44:31If it's that pram man again
00:44:32No it's them
00:44:33In the parlour
00:44:34Oh is it?
00:44:41What do you mean
00:44:42Busting in my house
00:44:43Without a buy or leave or anything?
00:44:45And who's this you brought with you?
00:44:47Dr Crippen?
00:44:48My name is Fox
00:44:49And it suits you
00:44:51Looks as if the hands have caught up
00:44:52With him a time or two
00:44:53Our doctor's future is at stake
00:44:56So we've put the whole thing
00:44:57In the hands of a solicitor
00:44:58Why?
00:44:59Couldn't you find a doctor?
00:45:00Mrs Smallherp
00:45:01I think you'd better let me explain things
00:45:03After all that's why you're paying me
00:45:05Yeah I'll bet he's charging you
00:45:06A pretty penny and all
00:45:07Emmanuel Fox
00:45:08Fox, Fox and Badger
00:45:10Well I should keep that dart for a start
00:45:13Where is Mr Worswick madam?
00:45:15He's on his allotment
00:45:17Allotting
00:45:17Why?
00:45:18My business is with the head of the house
00:45:20Well you're talking to her
00:45:21So get on with it
00:45:23I see
00:45:25Now my dear Mrs Worswick
00:45:26No never mind the soft stuff
00:45:28This I take it is the defendant?
00:45:31No
00:45:32That's our Leslie
00:45:33Quite
00:45:33But he will be the defendant
00:45:35If it ever comes to court
00:45:36Which it can't
00:45:37That is merely an irresponsible supposition
00:45:40Based on complete ignorance of the law madam
00:45:42Charlie
00:45:43Are you going to stand there
00:45:44While I'm insulted like that?
00:45:46Go and fetch Joe
00:45:48Now my dear Mrs Worswick
00:45:50You'd much better be sensible about this
00:45:51I'm sure we can arrive at some solution
00:45:54That will satisfy everybody
00:45:55Yeah we satisfy you you mean
00:45:57And them two as his pain
00:45:58Why we don't even know for certain the girl is having a baby
00:46:01I have here a certificate to that effect
00:46:03Signed by her doctor
00:46:07Stop her
00:46:08Here I say
00:46:08It doesn't matter
00:46:09Dr Scott can sign another
00:46:10I'll bet he can
00:46:12Signing so sticky facts is all he can do
00:46:14He's too old for out-outs
00:46:16He probably didn't know whether he was signing for her to have a baby or her counsel's out
00:46:19Now my dear Mrs Worswick
00:46:21There's no need for the two families to quarrel over this
00:46:24My clients want to be friends with you
00:46:25Friends with her
00:46:26I wouldn't cross the road to cut her dead
00:46:28Now please hear me out
00:46:29We cannot interfere with the course of nature
00:46:32Naturally you are worried about your son
00:46:34Just as they are worried about what is going to happen to their daughter
00:46:37They should put her in a ruffle
00:46:38They are no more anxious to go through the sordid business of the courts than you are
00:46:42So Mr Smallhope has made a generous offer
00:46:45It was my idea
00:46:48A very generous offer
00:46:50Prompted by his wife
00:46:51Then there's bound to be a catch in it
00:46:55If your son will marry their daughter of his own free will
00:46:58And in the next month
00:46:59They are prepared to set them up in a house
00:47:01Fully furnished
00:47:02And with enough money to start them off on their married life
00:47:06The Worswicks can't be bought
00:47:07My son's not for sale
00:47:10But mum
00:47:10You hold your tongue
00:47:12Where is this house you're so anxious to give away
00:47:15My mother left me her house in Spittle Street
00:47:17With the furniture in it
00:47:19And I'm willing to deposit £100 in a joint bank account for them both
00:47:23Now Mrs Worswick
00:47:25What do you say now?
00:47:26I say you can stick it in your briefcase
00:47:28But mum it's a marvellous offer
00:47:30A little hovel in Spittle Street
00:47:32I wouldn't let her cut off kittens in it
00:47:35There's dry rot and woodworm
00:47:37I know those houses
00:47:38And if you think it's good enough for your daughter
00:47:41I can tell you here and now
00:47:43It won't do for our Leslie
00:47:44But surely the two young people can make improvements
00:47:48With the £100 that Mr Smallhope has so very generously offered them
00:47:53Come now
00:47:53What'd you say?
00:47:55No
00:47:55But mum is...
00:47:56I said no
00:47:59Do you think we could make it £150?
00:48:02£125
00:48:04Well let's say £130
00:48:05This is not the cuttle market you know
00:48:07I've told you before
00:48:08He's not for sale
00:48:09Then I'm afraid we shall have to go to court
00:48:12Mrs Worswick
00:48:13I'll accept the offer Mr Fox
00:48:15I want to marry Marilyn
00:48:17Leslie!
00:48:18Ah now we're getting somewhere
00:48:21I was wondering when the lad was going to get a chance to speak up for himself
00:48:24I'll be glad to marry her
00:48:26And I'll be glad to give him a consent lad
00:48:28I'll bet you will
00:48:29But you're not having the chance
00:48:32Are you the father of this unborn child my boy?
00:48:35Yes sir
00:48:36It's my responsibility
00:48:38You young fool
00:48:39The boy has admitted paternity Mrs Worswick
00:48:42Are you still going to withhold your consent to the marriage?
00:48:44I certainly am
00:48:45Then all the lad has to do is to go to the court
00:48:49And ask for the magistrate's consent
00:48:51Under the circumstances I'm quite sure it will be gladly given
00:48:55You'd do well to reconsider your position
00:48:57My position's all right
00:48:58In fact I'm all set to give you a kick in the pants
00:49:01If you don't get out of my house before I call a policeman
00:49:03All right Mrs Worswick
00:49:05We're going
00:49:05Come along Euphemia
00:49:10I warn you
00:49:11All this is going to sound very bad when we tell it to the judge
00:49:13Don't worry
00:49:14I have a few things to tell him myself
00:49:16I still don't admit how a lesson is the father
00:49:20Then you'd better find the man who is
00:49:25He's probably left the country if he's had a good look at those two
00:49:36Where's your father?
00:49:38Never here when he's wanted
00:49:40A hundred and thirty pounds and a house
00:49:42We could have started our career on that
00:49:45You've already started your career my lad
00:49:47And Marilyn Smallup's got nothing to do with it
00:49:50She has now mum
00:49:51I've got to stand by her
00:49:52If you won't give your consent to the wedding
00:49:54Then I shall go to court like the chap said
00:49:57We'll see about that
00:50:00Where are you going?
00:50:01To find your father
00:50:02I know where he is
00:50:03I'm willing to cling to any reed in a storm
00:50:17And he said you can't have it and eat it
00:50:20You ain't heard that Charlie, had you?
00:50:26What do you think you were playing at, Joe Worswick?
00:50:28Well I was just having a quick drink on my way, Old Milder
00:50:30What's this do?
00:50:31I thought I told you to fetch him
00:50:33Yes, well, you see
00:50:34All I can see is that you have you stood standing here boozing
00:50:37While I'm fighting for my very life in our front room
00:50:39But I was just coming, Hilda
00:50:41Yes, I can see you running
00:50:42Trust you to arrive when it's all over
00:50:44Well, what's happened?
00:50:46The Smallups have been here again
00:50:48With the law this time and threats and bribes
00:50:51Well, I think I'd better pop along
00:50:52You two ought to talk this over together
00:50:54No, don't go, Charlie
00:50:55Goodbye, Charlie
00:50:56Now you come over here and sit down
00:50:58I want to talk to you
00:51:01We're in trouble
00:51:02And for once in your life
00:51:04You're going to do something about it
00:51:06And you're up against a smart lawyer this time
00:51:08All work
00:51:12Hello, Mr. Dodger
00:51:14Is Leslie here?
00:51:15No, he's out, Valerie
00:51:16They're all out
00:51:16Look, look, I've just made myself a pot of tea
00:51:19Would you like a cup?
00:51:20Thank you very much
00:51:21I would
00:51:24Isn't it awful
00:51:25The way they're trying to push poor Leslie into this marriage?
00:51:28Well, I can't say the lad himself seems to be too upset about it
00:51:31He says he wants to marry her
00:51:33That's only because he thinks he ought to
00:51:35Mr. Dodger
00:51:36Doesn't it seem strange to you
00:51:38That the only person who's had nothing to say about all this is Marilyn herself?
00:51:42Hasn't anybody wondered about that?
00:51:44Why?
00:51:45Why has she gone away?
00:51:46Why isn't she here asking Leslie his intentions?
00:51:48I don't know, look
00:51:49Well, then don't you think somebody ought to find out why?
00:51:52Somebody must know where she is
00:51:53Oh, I should let Will alone love
00:51:55It'll work out somehow
00:51:56Hilda will probably think of a solution to the whole thing
00:51:58They're going to put our Leslie in court in a maternity suit and make him marry her
00:52:03But if we let him go quietly
00:52:06Clarence Small Hope says he'll give them 130 quid and a house in Spittle Street
00:52:11Well, that's lucky for the lad
00:52:12It never is
00:52:14There's cockroaches in them houses in Spittle Street
00:52:16I know, I've seen them
00:52:18But you know what it means?
00:52:20It means that they can't prove that it is our Leslie
00:52:24Because if they could, it's a certainty that Clarence Small Hope wouldn't be giving away anything for nothing
00:52:31But the lad says it's his
00:52:33He ought to know, didn't he?
00:52:35How can he be so sure it's him?
00:52:37That Marilyn's more generous than her father
00:52:39Yeah, I'll bet her darling would make Lady Chatterley blush
00:52:42Never mind, Lady Chastity
00:52:44It's our Leslie you've got to think about
00:52:45Poor lad
00:52:47He doesn't know whether it's Piccadilly or Tuesday
00:52:49He says he's going to court, by the way
00:52:51Eh?
00:52:52What's that?
00:52:53What's he doing this time?
00:52:55He says he's going to court to get permission to marry Marilyn
00:52:57But he can't
00:52:59Well, that lawyer fellow says he can
00:53:02And with Marilyn the way she is
00:53:04I reckon they'd say yes
00:53:05Unless you can get someone else to take the blame
00:53:10That's what the lawyer said
00:53:14Joe, that's the answer
00:53:15You mean, to get some other chap to take the rap?
00:53:18It'd be worth his while
00:53:20After all, he gets a house and a hundred and thirty quid
00:53:22And she's not bad luke in, is she?
00:53:25There must be lots of men who'd be glad to take her with a house and a hundred and thirty
00:53:28quid
00:53:29Men who've got no families of their own
00:53:32And no homes and no chairs by their own fireside
00:53:36Chairs?
00:53:36Like fireside?
00:53:39Hilbert
00:53:40Charlie Dodger
00:53:41You mean
00:53:43No
00:53:44It can't be him
00:53:45Well, is it better whether it could or it couldn't be?
00:53:48All you want is someone to say it was him
00:53:50Oh, I couldn't do that to Charlie
00:53:52After all, he's been my lodger for all these years
00:53:56He was sweet on me when I was a girl
00:53:57He's fond of me still
00:53:59All the better
00:54:00He'll do what you want and marry her
00:54:02Do you think he would?
00:54:03Of course he would
00:54:05It's time he married and settled down and took a wife of his own
00:54:08He can't expect to be happy all his life
00:54:10It'd be doing him a kindness, really
00:54:13He'd thank me for it later, I'm sure he would
00:54:17By gum, I'll do it
00:54:20Yeah, you make a good cup of tea, don't you, Charlie?
00:54:23You do
00:54:24After twenty-five years with me, I've got your proper house trained, haven't I?
00:54:28You'd make a good husband for somebody, you would
00:54:30Oh, not now, I'm past it
00:54:32Why, if I was to get on me knees to propose to a girl, by the time I got up,
00:54:36she'd be married with three kids
00:54:37Oh, don't be silly, why
00:54:39To me, you get younger and handsomer every day
00:54:44Sit down a minute, Charlie
00:54:46I want to have a few serious words with you
00:54:50Eh?
00:54:52I think you'll guess who it is
00:54:54It's somebody you've known for a long time
00:54:57And she's in the worst kind of trouble a woman could be
00:55:00By gum, I'm sorry to hear that
00:55:03She hopes she can depend on you
00:55:05Of course you can
00:55:07You may think I've taken you for granted over all these years, Charlie
00:55:10But I've known you were there to be relied on
00:55:13A strong, steady rock
00:55:15Well, I don't know, I'm...
00:55:16Now's your chance to prove yourself
00:55:18You can take her away to a new life
00:55:20To a home of your own
00:55:22But I haven't got a home
00:55:23Of course you haven't
00:55:24You've always lived in another man's house
00:55:27Just a lodger
00:55:29Paying your weekly rent
00:55:31Victim of sordid quarrels over a fireside chair
00:55:35Awaiting the dreaded moment
00:55:37When Joe will get about to bed early
00:55:39And wind up on your lap
00:55:41Well, I must say I...
00:55:43Well, now you can take her away
00:55:44To a home of your own
00:55:46A home that she will give you
00:55:48And money, too
00:55:50Nay, Hilda
00:55:51I don't want paying for anything I'll do for you
00:55:54Never turn your nose up at money, Charlie
00:55:56Grab it while you can
00:55:57Take it as a marriage settlement
00:56:01Will you do it, Charlie?
00:56:05For me?
00:56:06Aye, you can count on me, Hilda
00:56:09Oh, and you'll be a father to the child?
00:56:11Of course I will
00:56:11I like the idea of being his father
00:56:14Of course it may not be a boy
00:56:16Well, he certainly looks like one at the moment
00:56:19How was his godfather when you christened him nearly 20 years ago?
00:56:23Who's talking about our Leslie?
00:56:26You are
00:56:27You're asking me to take you away from Joe
00:56:29And marry you
00:56:29And bring up Leslie as if he were my own
00:56:32Was I, heck?
00:56:35I was asking you to marry Marilyn Smallhope
00:56:38And grab yourself that 130 knicker
00:56:41And that house her parents are offering
00:56:42To the first man who will take her
00:56:44Hilda, I'm surprised at you
00:56:46I don't know
00:56:46I can ask such a thing
00:56:48I'm doing you a good turn
00:56:50Asking you before I offer it to anybody else
00:56:53130 knicker
00:56:54And a home
00:56:56Mind you, the house isn't all it should be
00:56:59But I mean, you working at the town hall
00:57:01You could easily fiddle a new bathroom conversion job
00:57:03And get the council to do it up
00:57:05But I like living here
00:57:07I'm fond of you, ain't you?
00:57:09Well, I'm both
00:57:11And if you're as fond of me
00:57:12As you say you are
00:57:14You'll marry Marilyn
00:57:15And leave her with Leslie
00:57:16To get on with his Bachelor of Science
00:57:19Now
00:57:20Just you think it over
00:57:22I'm just going over to Mrs Hawkins
00:57:23With the club money
00:57:26We'll talk about the details
00:57:28When I come back
00:57:56I'm just going over to Mrs Hawkins
00:57:58Mrs Higginbottom
00:58:02Jenny, are you there?
00:58:03Yes, Mr Tarcher
00:58:05Did you call?
00:58:06Yes, have you got a minute?
00:58:08Yes
00:58:14There you are
00:58:16Can you come in a minute?
00:58:18I've got something I'd like to say to you
00:58:24What's the matter, Mr Tarcher?
00:58:25Are you alright?
00:58:26Oh, no, it's nothing
00:58:27It'll pass, I hope
00:58:28Where's Zilda?
00:58:29She's gone out
00:58:30Did you want something?
00:58:33Miss Higginbottom
00:58:34Jenny, I've been thinking about that little chap
00:58:36We had the other day
00:58:39Well, I'm sick of being sick of a man in this house
00:58:42I want a fireside chair of me own
00:58:44Where I don't have to be up and down
00:58:45Like a jack-in-the-box
00:58:47Jenny, don't you think it's time
00:58:49You had a companion with you
00:58:50In that big, lonely house?
00:58:51But what would neighbours say?
00:58:53Well, what could they say if it were all above board and legal?
00:58:56But, Mr Tarcher, I...
00:58:58Why don't you call me Charlie?
00:59:01Well, I really don't know
00:59:02Charlie
00:59:03I want to come with you now
00:59:05Today
00:59:06Jenny, will you take me?
00:59:08All right, Charlie
00:59:10You will?
00:59:11Oh
00:59:14But it's got to be at Chapel
00:59:16It's got to be at Pendleford Wesleyan's
00:59:18Where I've always gone
00:59:19That's me terms
00:59:21Terms?
00:59:22Well, I thought
00:59:23Four pound ten
00:59:24The same as I've been paying Yilda
00:59:26But I thought you were asking me to marry you
00:59:28What's happening in this house?
00:59:31Everybody's after me today to get married
00:59:33I'm asking you to take me in as a lottery, Jenny
00:59:35Nothing else
00:59:36Arson
00:59:37I suppose it's a start
00:59:39But why are you leaving Yilda after all this time?
00:59:42Don't ask me
00:59:42I can't speak of it
00:59:43You haven't gone and done a murder or something, have you?
00:59:46No, but I might
00:59:47If I stay here and I'm forced to
00:59:49All right
00:59:50I'll take you
00:59:51Right
00:59:57Joe?
00:59:58Joe!
00:59:59Hello
01:00:00What is it?
01:00:01Can you come down a minute?
01:00:03What's the matter?
01:00:03The place on fire?
01:00:04Come down, quick
01:00:07Alan
01:00:09We'll soon get this settled
01:00:11Have you told Yilda you're going?
01:00:12Oh, no idea
01:00:13But you've got to give her notice before I can take you in
01:00:16Ah, well, that's why I've asked Joe, he'll do
01:00:18I want to leave this minute while I'm still safe
01:00:20I don't know what I'm going to give you for supper
01:00:23Do you like trotters?
01:00:24I love them
01:00:25Then that's all right, then
01:00:26I can pop over and borrow some extra bread from Yilda
01:00:31Where is it?
01:00:31Wait, wait, what's happened?
01:00:32Here, where's the fire?
01:00:33There isn't any
01:00:34I just wanted to talk to you
01:00:35Joe, I'm sorry about this and there's nothing personal in it
01:00:39But I've got to go
01:00:40You don't mean you had to scare the patch off me just to tell me that?
01:00:43But you don't understand
01:00:44After lodging here for 25 years, I've got to go and live elsewhere
01:00:47Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Charlie
01:00:51He's coming to me
01:00:52Ah, well, one man's meat's another man's poison
01:00:56I mean, our misfortune is your good luck
01:00:59Well, I'm going now, Joe, and I haven't paid Yilda yet
01:01:03So here's, one, two, that's £4.10 for the week that ends tomorrow
01:01:11And £4.10 in lieu of a week's notice
01:01:14Oh, tar
01:01:17I'll send over for me things later
01:01:21Well, we'd better be off
01:01:23Yes, we can go through old infence
01:01:25Ah, I'll have to get that mended
01:01:26Well, bye, Joe
01:01:38Well, lawyers or no lawyers
01:01:40It's an ill wind that gathers no moss
01:01:44But she must have told somebody
01:01:46She's gone to London
01:01:47Do you know her address?
01:01:49I do, but she wants it kept secret
01:01:51Anyway, she's coming back
01:01:53When, do you know?
01:01:54Not exactly
01:01:54But I've got her last week's wages
01:01:56She asked me to hold on to it for her
01:01:57Look, Betty, it's urgent
01:01:59Please tell me where she is
01:02:00I won't tell anybody, I promise
01:02:02But I must see her
01:02:03Please, Betty
01:02:06Well, I don't know that I should
01:02:09Now, Charlie
01:02:10Oh, it's you
01:02:12You're up early
01:02:13Where's Charlie?
01:02:14He's gone
01:02:15Gone?
01:02:16Gone where?
01:02:17I wanted to talk to him about the wedding
01:02:19I think you rushed him a bit fast, lass
01:02:22You haven't got a lodger anymore
01:02:24He's gone to live with Jenny Eganbottom
01:02:27Oh, so it didn't work
01:02:30Well, I tried
01:02:32Gone to live with Jenny Eganbottom
01:02:35Well, I must say this about Charlie
01:02:38He'd always prefer death to dishonor
01:02:41Then what do we do?
01:02:43Hilda Worswick won't butch
01:02:44I know her kind
01:02:45Well, as I've already told the lad
01:02:47He can apply to the court for permission
01:02:49But he doesn't seem to be acting on my suggestion
01:02:51His mother's probably keeping him in locked up
01:02:54Couldn't your daughter have a word with him?
01:02:57After all, she's...
01:02:58No
01:02:59Surely
01:03:00Just one word
01:03:01My daughter's gone to London
01:03:03Well, then get her back
01:03:05We can't
01:03:06We don't know where she is
01:03:08We don't know where she is?
01:03:11You're arranging a wedding without the bride?
01:03:13She'll be back
01:03:14Oh, I hope so
01:03:15I certainly hope so
01:03:16She'll be there
01:03:17All you've got to do is to go and persuade the lad
01:03:20To do what we want
01:03:22Oh
01:03:23Oh, well
01:03:25I suppose we could try
01:03:28Enough of this dithering
01:03:29There's only one thing that'll do it
01:03:30And that's brass
01:03:31We'll go round there again and see him
01:03:33Aye, and you can tell that Hilda Worswick
01:03:34I'm upping my offer
01:03:35Two hundred quid
01:03:37It's robbery
01:03:38But if I've got to pay
01:03:39I'll pay
01:03:40Come along, Euphemia
01:03:45Mrs. Worswick
01:03:47I'm happy to be able to tell you
01:03:48That my clients have been talking a matter over
01:03:51And they've come to the conclusion
01:03:52That perhaps they were
01:03:53A little niggardly
01:03:54In the amount they were prepared to settle
01:03:56On their daughter and her husband
01:03:58They realise, after all
01:03:59That the happiness of two young people is involved
01:04:02And under the circumstances
01:04:03And what are you throwing in this time?
01:04:05A second-hand carpet sweeper?
01:04:07Or a pound of cheese for the mice?
01:04:09If you'll let your son marry Marilyn
01:04:11I've settled two hundred pounds on them
01:04:12Now, how does that sound to you?
01:04:14You're wasting your breath
01:04:15I wouldn't let our Leslie ruin his career
01:04:18If you offered two million
01:04:25Ah, here's the young man himself
01:04:27Let's hear what he has to say, shall we?
01:04:30Leslie
01:04:31Mr. Smallhope has very kindly offered
01:04:33To increase his, uh, dowry
01:04:35To two hundred pounds
01:04:36Plus, of course, the house of Forsen
01:04:38He's not interested
01:04:40But I am, you know I am
01:04:42It's very kind of you, sir
01:04:43Kind?
01:04:44It's burface bribery
01:04:46That's what it is
01:04:47But, uh, you see, sir
01:04:49There's this matter of my parents' consent
01:04:51They won't give it
01:04:52But my boy, I've already told you
01:04:53You only have to apply to the court
01:04:55The magistrate's consent is quite legal
01:04:57I know, but
01:04:58I wouldn't want to upset my mother
01:05:02She's done a lot for me
01:05:03Oh, come now
01:05:06Surely this needn't make trouble
01:05:08Between you and your mother?
01:05:09You've already made it
01:05:10So shut up
01:05:11This is a family row now
01:05:12Nothing to do with you
01:05:14But, Mum
01:05:14Now, it's no use talking, Leslie
01:05:17You know my views
01:05:18If you want to go to court
01:05:20And give your poor father
01:05:22A heart attack
01:05:24We can't stop you
01:05:26But as far as I'm concerned
01:05:27You can't marry Marilyn
01:05:30That's right
01:05:31He can't
01:05:35So
01:05:37You've come back
01:05:38Here you are, Marilyn
01:05:39It's just as I told you
01:05:40They're trying to force Leslie
01:05:42Into marrying you
01:05:43Offering her house and furniture
01:05:45And £200
01:05:45Well, you can save your money
01:05:47And your house
01:05:48That you've never been able
01:05:49To let or sell
01:05:50She's not marrying Leslie
01:05:52But, Marilyn
01:05:53You always said she was a sweet girl
01:05:56Didn't you, Hilda?
01:05:57Hell, she did
01:05:58But you're all right now
01:06:00You ungrateful, Rosie
01:06:01You don't mind what disgrace
01:06:03You bring on your poor father and me
01:06:05An illegitimate baby
01:06:07Illegitimate nothing
01:06:08I got married three months ago
01:06:10To Terry
01:06:11You remember Terry, don't you?
01:06:14Oh, aye
01:06:14I remember him
01:06:15That layabout
01:06:16Hello, Dad
01:06:17I'm going to want to see
01:06:19Your marriage lines, my girl
01:06:20Before I believe this
01:06:21You shall, Mother
01:06:22And as for you, young man
01:06:24Don't imagine you can come back here
01:06:25And have my husband keep you
01:06:27We don't want any out-of-work layabouts
01:06:29Spunging on us
01:06:29Just because you've tricked our daughter
01:06:31Don't worry
01:06:32Tomorrow we're going to London
01:06:33Don't be silly
01:06:34Stay here, son
01:06:35You're just in time
01:06:37To get yourself a cockroach-infested house
01:06:39In Spittle Street
01:06:40And £200 danger money
01:06:42That's what they're offering
01:06:43And if you ask for more
01:06:44You'll probably get it
01:06:46No, thanks
01:06:47We don't need it
01:06:48I make more than that in a week
01:06:49What?
01:06:51Rubbish
01:06:51It's true, Father
01:06:53I didn't want to tell you about us being married
01:06:55Until he got his contract from London
01:06:58A three-year contract
01:07:00£250 a week
01:07:02Isn't it wonderful?
01:07:03£250?
01:07:04And you get that every week?
01:07:06That's right, every week
01:07:09Oh, Marilyn
01:07:10You are a naughty girl
01:07:12Having secrets like this
01:07:14And not letting us get to know Terry better
01:07:16It's a good job for you that she did
01:07:18Poor lad didn't know
01:07:20What sort of in-laws he was being lumbered with
01:07:23You might give Terry here your card
01:07:25Now that he's seen his mother-in-law
01:07:27You might get a decree nice-eye out of this lot yet
01:07:32Come along, Clarence
01:07:33We must be going
01:07:34I'm sure our young people are wanting their supper
01:07:37Aye, that reminds me
01:07:39What about mine?
01:07:43Well, I think it's called for a drink
01:07:46Oh, I'm sorry
01:07:51Good Lord
01:07:53He's back
01:07:59Charlie
01:08:00Joe said you'd left us
01:08:02Aye
01:08:02Well, I had no choice, did I, Hilda?
01:08:04Well, the danger's over now
01:08:06We've just got her married off
01:08:07What can I do for you?
01:08:08Well, I was wondering if you'd sell that armchair, Hilda
01:08:11The one at Jenny's is all lumpy
01:08:13And it's too high
01:08:14Oh, I couldn't sell that armchair, Charlie
01:08:16My favourite lodge used to sit in it
01:08:19You know it's ready for you when you want to come back
01:08:22Could I really, Hilda?
01:08:24Of course
01:08:24Come along
01:08:25It's Friday night, too
01:08:27We'll be a bit late for the apodrome
01:08:28But perhaps we'll catch the last night
01:08:30Right
01:08:31Joe
01:08:32Charlie's back
01:08:34Where's your dad?
01:08:35He came in just now
01:08:36Picked up the old armchair
01:08:37And went down to the greenhouse with it
01:08:38But Hilda
01:08:39Don't worry, Charlie
01:08:41Sit down
01:08:41I'll get it for you in a minute
01:08:43Well, son
01:08:44Back to the grindstone, eh?
01:08:46That's just what I've been telling him
01:08:47He can't become a Bachelor of Science
01:08:48Without working hard for it
01:08:50Seems to me
01:08:50He can't become a Bachelor of anything
01:08:52Without working hard
01:08:54Ah, you see
01:08:55You were so sure you were right, weren't you?
01:08:57And look where it would have led you
01:08:58Next time you take notice of your mum
01:09:00Because she knows you don't
01:09:04I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:05I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:06I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:08I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:11I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:14I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:15I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:15I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:16I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:18I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:20I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:21I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:22I'll get it for you in a minute
01:09:23I'll get it for you in a minute
