00:02Call one. Twenty.
00:06Call.
00:08Raise another score.
00:11How about your score?
00:13And raise a penny.
00:20Call one forty-five.
00:28And up. Number twenty-five.
00:34You and Mr. Clipper don't reckon you're two ladies, Roy.
00:39Cooled.
00:41About fifty.
00:49No, not the two of you. Pass.
01:00Fifteen.
01:02Same on top.
01:09You're fifty.
01:11I belong in.
01:26Nice.
01:29But still early.
01:34You git, what's the matter with you?
01:35Sorry, Rob.
01:38You've got a nerve in your body, have you?
01:50Never get the second best hand, do you, Robbie?
01:52Not if I can help it, son.
01:53Winners or bus tickets, that's all you ever get.
01:55That's all I ever want.
01:57Robbie?
01:57Yeah?
01:58Pardon me mentioning the unmentionable.
02:00But that hand you won on the seven of spades.
02:03Hm?
02:03Everybody knew Roy had the best hand.
02:06Except Roy.
02:07Heh.
02:08I don't know why he plays.
02:09Mm-hm.
02:10With you.
02:11Why don't you come to the Ferris one night?
02:13Eh?
02:14Just behind Howard for the Ferris Club.
02:15Slightly higher stakes than this.
02:17And you have to wear a tie.
02:18Well, are they all chic?
02:19No, no.
02:20They're well lined, but you could handle them.
02:22They're better than Roy.
02:23Heh.
02:24Shame.
02:25They're not better than me.
02:26What's the sit-down money?
02:28Oh, it's my guess.
02:29You don't have to show them anything, but a grand should keep you going.
02:31Not after somebody, are you?
02:33Nothing like that.
02:33But it would be nice to bring in a fresh face.
02:36Yeah.
02:37Yeah, give that to Maxie.
02:38That's all.
02:40If you can go on avoiding the second best hand, you could get a bit rich.
02:44We've all got dreams, haven't we?
02:46I mean, look at that.
02:54There might be something in it for both of us.
02:56Yeah, well, I play for me, not for us.
02:58I'll see you around.
03:27Do you know what time it is?
03:29Oh, hello, gorgeous.
03:31What are you doing up?
03:33Me, I've got to crash out for a couple of hours.
03:35Where?
03:36Oh.
03:37If you could see yourself.
03:38Oh, let's talk about it in the morning.
03:40What do you think you're going to look like in ten years' time, eh?
03:43Always assuming you're going to live that long.
03:55Yes?
03:59Morris.
04:01I was going to ring you.
04:02No problems, are there?
04:06Well, if I get it to you by next weekend.
04:08Say a couple of hundred.
04:12The full 2,000.
04:14No.
04:15No, it's not in the least inconvenient.
04:17Well, a cheque do.
04:19What doesn't have that sort of loose change lying around in one's back pocket?
04:27All right, Mr. Berry.
04:29Next Saturday morning, 2,000 pounds.
04:32Cash.
04:49Kenneth.
04:50It's Vivian.
04:51Vivian Clifford.
04:52Oh, fine.
04:54Look, I heard a rumor that Peter Forsyth would be around on Friday.
04:58Is that true?
04:59Mm.
05:00Good.
05:02Will he be going to the Ferris, do you know?
05:05Oh, lovely.
05:07Look, if you see him, you could mention that I might be bringing a friend.
05:10Then.
05:15Robbie?
05:17Rob!
05:35Is that you, Niv?
05:42I forgot my key.
05:58Expecting somebody?
06:00Yeah.
06:03Name a Nev?
06:05It's only a fella.
06:06Yeah, I'm swimming.
06:07Mooring.
06:09Not at school, is it?
06:10Nah.
06:10Work.
06:11Bricky.
06:11Oh.
06:17Who's that?
06:18The bill?
06:23It's all right.
06:24It's for me.
06:27All right, then.
06:28Coming, then.
06:30Why?
06:31Say life to my mum, eh?
06:33Yeah.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Shhh.
06:38Shhh.
06:39Shhh.
06:48Mum?
06:49This is Ned.
06:52Oh.
06:53Hello, Ned.
06:55And Robbie.
06:58How you keeping?
06:59All right.
07:08Well, we'll be out of health, then, eh?
07:10See you later.
07:11Right.
07:15Big, isn't he?
07:16Big, isn't he?
07:16Not for a gorilla, eh?
07:18I suppose.
07:20You know.
07:21All right.
07:22You can catch me going down a dark alley with him, I'll tell you.
07:25What do you mean?
07:26You don't think he's violent?
07:27Well, I hope not.
07:28You can stand with you a chance, would you?
07:29Robbie, I'm serious.
07:30I've only seen him for five seconds, like you have.
07:33Yeah.
07:35Well, talk to her about it.
07:36I mean, tell her she might be better off going out with a human being.
07:38He's got a job.
07:40Oh, yeah?
07:40He's a brickie.
07:41I mean, they wouldn't have taken him on if he wasn't...
07:44I mean, if it was a, you know, a...
07:46What?
07:47A hooligan.
07:47Well, a big hooligan can carry a lot of bricks.
07:50Well, at least he went out and got one.
07:52Oh, Anna.
07:53Shows he's got some sense of responsibility.
07:54Oh, that's nice, isn't it?
07:55I mean, he could be the Boston Strangler, but that's all right,
07:58as long as you've got a national insurance number.
07:59You know what I mean.
08:00Yes, I know what you mean.
08:01You'd prefer Debbie to go out with a hulk like that than somebody like me.
08:06There they are, son.
08:07Get that down here.
08:09You sure about this, Bootsy?
08:11You trust me, Bill.
08:12I said I'd get you fit and I will.
08:14See, we're not looking for speed.
08:16We're looking for stamina.
08:17Boy, you could be up there 30 minutes, toe to toe.
08:20I mean, you can't train for that on biscuits, can you?
08:23You need building up, mate.
08:25But I'm 15 and a half now.
08:27Look, I know what I'm doing.
08:29What about road work and the bag and all that?
08:32Oh, be realistic, Bill.
08:34I mean, you run for a bus, you'd be in bed for a week.
08:36And the bag, that'll only bruise your knuckles.
08:38Now, you've got one thing going for you, Gaspar.
08:41Experience, eh?
08:43Yeah, you hang on to that, son. I'll look after the bulk.
08:45All right? Okay?
08:46Go on, drink your medicine.
08:59What?
09:01Oh, you know what they're like.
09:02I'm always moaning about who you're going round with.
09:05Oh, yeah, but you know.
09:06So you've got to use a bit of psychology, haven't you?
09:09Show them your best side.
09:11Things they go for.
09:13But you've got to say it, not me.
09:16What?
09:16Go on.
09:22Okay?
09:23No bother.
09:32Any cake? A bit of cake, Ned?
09:35No tart, moth all that.
09:37Moth it?
09:38Well, it's no good for you.
09:39All that sugar and that.
09:40Oh.
09:41Well, not if you want to keep in shape.
09:44Mm.
09:49Are you coming down Moors this afternoon, Ned?
09:51No, I'm not going down Larry's.
09:53Where?
09:54Larry Parfit's gym.
09:55Oh, yeah?
09:56I go down there about two, three times a week.
09:59Work out.
10:00Keeping trim.
10:01Oh, you are one of those fitness freaks, then?
10:04Yeah.
10:05I'm a fitness freak.
10:06Don't you reckon you're big enough?
10:09Well, it ain't big.
10:10It's fit, innit?
10:12See that?
10:13All muscle, that.
10:14Oh, you couldn't do that to Robbie.
10:16You'd go right through.
10:17Oh, well.
10:18Robbie's a bit on the brainy side, isn't he?
10:23Here.
10:24Do you reckon he'd like to come down Larry's?
10:26What, Robbie?
10:28You could come with me.
10:29Oh, to kill him.
10:32Wouldn't it?
10:35It's all right for the gorilla.
10:36He don't know any different.
10:38If you were fitter, you'd play better.
10:40Better?
10:40Well, you'd be more wide awake.
10:42Your brain would work properly.
10:44You might even live longer.
10:45You make it sound like I've dealt me last hand.
10:47Oh, come on.
10:48I think you're probably right.
10:54With a figure like yours, it's probably best kept covered up.
10:56You reckon, do you?
10:58I know Nev hasn't got a lot of brains, but at least he goes in and out at the right
11:02places.
11:03And he'll still do when he's 40.
11:05Look, I'd feel like a right wally going into one of those places.
11:08All that sweating and grunting.
11:10I mean, I'm not a physical person.
11:14Well, I'm not going to have a row about it.
11:18I can't make you go.
11:21I mean, it might not even do you any good.
11:25All I'm saying is, you wouldn't even give it a try, would you?
11:28Hmm?
11:29Hmm.
11:31Not even for me.
11:34Hmm.
11:35Night mode.
11:44Artist, is he your mate, Parfit?
11:46Yeah.
11:47We should see him on the bench, Preston.
11:48Come on.
11:49Right there, boy, son.
11:50Right.
11:51Okie dokie.
11:52We're off.
11:55Thank you, dear.
11:57Ah!
12:00Ah!
12:00This is our sample of his primitive period, eh?
12:03What?
12:04This here.
12:04Come on.
12:05Right there, boy.
12:06Hey!
12:18He don't look too well, does he?
12:30He's got a few bob out in here, eh?
12:32Think he's a bit scrubby, he's still.
12:37Oh, right there, boy, son.
12:39Right.
12:39Right, right, right.
12:40Here you go.
12:44Here you go.
12:45Here you go.
12:46Here you go.
12:46See you, sorry.
12:47Right.
12:48Right.
12:54It is harder.
12:55You're gonna need that, he's a huge bus.
12:59Don't let him know.
13:14Okay, fine.
13:21Do you got no proper shoes?
13:24Anything I can't do in these, I can't do.
13:26Well, I want to try nothing fancy, not in them.
13:28Stop worrying about that, sunshine.
13:31Well, just start off with a bit on the bike.
13:43Oh, Tony.
13:48Who's your old geezer on the bag?
13:50That's Tony.
13:51Tony McLeodock.
13:56Cool, vicious.
13:58Yeah, big spro, Tony.
14:00Middle-wank.
14:01Never made it big.
14:02Coming down here all the last few weeks.
14:05Don't do yourself a mist, you think?
14:19Morning, Johnny.
14:21Morning.
14:32Don't look no different to me.
14:34Eh?
14:35No, of course not.
14:36I know I just went in for a bit of fine-tuning, that's all.
14:39I tell you, there's this punter down there.
14:41Goes in three times a week.
14:43I mean, fat.
14:44He makes me look like Zola Budd.
14:46And he's a boxer.
14:47Tiny McLeodock.
14:48Who told you?
14:49No, all the fighters, don't I?
14:50I was back in training.
14:51Oh, poor the other one, kid.
14:52That McLeodock, he couldn't even climb in a ring.
14:54If you think he's bad, you should see the gasper.
14:56Oh?
14:57Gasping Billy Bunyan.
14:58He's the opposition.
15:00Gasping Billy Bunyan?
15:01Well, he can't be as bad as McLeodock.
15:03No, a tiny little murder, it's criminal.
15:04It's that bad, the boxing board wouldn't allow it.
15:06It's nothing to do with that, mate.
15:07It's an unlicensed bout.
15:09And a bout.
15:10Billy the Bruiser.
15:113.15, pointy fact.
15:1333 to 1.
15:14It's an omen, isn't it?
15:16Why don't you go in the office and stick it straight in Gill's wallet?
15:2033 to 1?
15:21I can't bear to watch.
15:23It's ridiculous.
15:47Good morning.
15:57It's Addak.
15:58Yeah, what's wrong with Addak?
16:00Well, nothing.
16:02It's Tommy, turning funny in his old age.
16:05Greedy guts.
16:08Yeah, you better shove his in a warmer.
16:10Yes.
16:17I cooked him a lovely piece of gammon last week.
16:20Turned his nose up at it, he did.
16:25Oh.
16:25Mrs Box.
16:27Yes.
16:28That's right.
16:29I'm terribly sorry.
16:30You're probably having lunch.
16:31I'm a friend of Robbie's.
16:34Expecting you, is he?
16:36No, I shouldn't think so.
16:42Mrs Box, I wonder if you'd be good enough to tell him that it's Vivian Clifford.
16:49Robbie, mate of yours.
16:53Well, you better come in, then.
16:56No sense in standing outside.
17:01Erm, when you pull out one chip, you seem to get six these days.
17:06When I was young, chips used to come out one at a time.
17:10It's what they cooked them in, I think.
17:14Well, stone the crows.
17:16I've got the Gordkin.
17:21Yeah, hello.
17:23Tommy, do you know what time it is?
17:26Well, that's a 1.12 up, so I suppose it must be about...
17:31That's right, half past one.
17:34Oh.
17:38Here.
17:40Oh.
17:41It's all very much.
17:46Ah-ha-ha.
17:48Yes.
17:54Here, Tommy.
17:56Robbie had a friend come.
17:58Money.
18:00He knows all sorts, Rob.
18:03This is Addict.
18:06Do you reckon he's going to get himself a job?
18:09Robbie?
18:11Well, he might be making the effort, sorting himself out, like.
18:17You might have put this in a warmer.
18:22If he's got friends in the swim, he could get a good job.
18:25He hasn't got a trade.
18:26But he's got a brain.
18:28Yeah, but he'd have to start from the bottom like a teenager.
18:31And I can't see Robbie doing that.
18:35But if he's got friends...
18:37Bye, love.
18:38Rob's friends don't work.
18:41They're all like it.
18:45The people I was telling you about, they'll all be in London on Friday.
18:51Interested?
18:51Always interested, yeah.
18:53All three are hand-stitched and custom-built.
18:56Good players, but not brilliant.
18:57What game?
18:58Draw, mostly.
19:00Bit of stud to break up the routine.
19:03One or two fancy variations, but no-one has to play a game he doesn't know.
19:07And I need a ground, you reckon?
19:08Yes, or two.
19:10And a tie.
19:12Shall I keep a chair warm for you?
19:14Yeah, Viv, good idea.
19:17You know what?
19:18You really need another little treble.
19:19Well, they don't happen every day, do they?
19:21No.
19:23It's a page full of dog food, isn't it?
19:28There's a scotch coat in the window of the Oxfam shop, and I'm getting it for you.
19:32Sure, you look like a setback pipes walking down the street.
19:34What, a ferret purchasing?
19:35What happened?
19:36He'd come up.
19:37Eh?
19:38Billy the Bruiser.
19:39Thirty-threes.
19:40It never did.
19:42What do you have on it?
19:43Just a couple of notes.
19:44Makes you sick.
19:45I don't believe it.
19:47You laughed at me, Robbo.
19:49I ain't laughing now.
19:50Thirty-threes, mate.
19:53A couple of blue ones on that would have seen me well on my way.
19:57Big Spiele?
19:58Yeah, right.
19:59Yeah.
19:59Put a bundle on Tiny McClintock.
20:01What?
20:02There's a lot of bread-changing ones down there.
20:05What's the odds, then?
20:05I don't know.
20:06I'll ask you.
20:07But don't say nothing about Billy the Bruiser.
20:09He'll throw his bag at you.
20:11Is he in?
20:12Recovering.
20:14I'm busy.
20:16He's in.
20:20You deaf.
20:21I want a bit of professional advice.
20:23Why don't you ask your pal Ferret?
20:25Oh, come on, Gil.
20:26You can't grudge him that.
20:27He's been keeping you.
20:29What do you want?
20:29I'm busy.
20:30Are you writing a book on the McClintock fight?
20:33I never touch prize fighting.
20:35Never?
20:36Very seldom.
20:39Why don't you stick with the four-legged animals?
20:42Anyway, Tiny McClintock will be odds on.
20:46Yeah, yeah.
20:46Makes sense.
20:47I find you.
20:49You might get threes.
20:51You make him sound like one of those digital watches.
20:53Eh?
20:54No moving parts.
20:55Well, he ain't in the first flush of youth, is he?
20:58No.
20:59Well, give us a quote on Tiny, then.
21:00Do I know?
21:02Say fours.
21:03On.
21:03He could rupture his trust climbing through the ropes.
21:06I mean, that's ridiculous.
21:07I agree.
21:09It's the punters that make the odds, not me.
21:13Well, somebody must have sold his yacht and stuck it all on Tiny.
21:21It's got to be a fix, isn't it?
21:24Could be a double bluff.
21:26Maybe Gil.
21:26What did he go for Tiny?
21:28It's not enough, in it, is it?
21:30I mean, we ought to go for the other fella.
21:31Oh, you've just spent ten minutes telling me it's a fix for my clint duck.
21:34No, you say it's not.
21:35Will she make your mind up?
21:36Oh, no.
21:37I didn't say nothing to the soul.
21:39You know, there's a lot of big money gone on my clint duck.
21:43That's why his odds on.
21:44Hey, what if, just before the fight,
21:48the big boys put double on the gasper and cleaned up?
21:53All right, Einstein.
21:54So who's going to win, then?
21:55Billy the gasper.
21:57Cos that way, there'd be a bigger payday for the millionaires.
22:02Here.
22:02I wonder if old Ferret's spent all his winnings, eh?
22:12No.
22:13We agreed that necklace should not leave this house.
22:15No, I'm not talking about no necklace.
22:17No.
22:17You were working up to it, though.
22:18All I need is a grand.
22:20Oh, is that all?
22:21No, no, not from you.
22:22I've got this delightful little double, you see.
22:24No.
22:25I need a grand for this lovely little game I've got with my mate, Viv.
22:29It's a collar and tie job.
22:30That's the second leg.
22:31Now, the first half, well, it's a bit out of the ordinary.
22:33Yeah, I bet it is.
22:34Look, there's this boxer, Tiny McClintock, down at the gym.
22:37Now, he's training for a fight which he ain't going to win.
22:40What, they're fighters down there?
22:41Yeah.
22:42Well, it's the gorilla's favourite horn, isn't it?
22:43So what I fancy is a few quid on the other one.
22:47I need 250.
22:49You call 250 a few?
22:50Well, it can't be less.
22:51I mean, that's the odds, isn't it?
22:52It's nothing to do with the neck.
22:53It's safe as houses, round your neck, good as gold.
22:55But the point is, you see, you've got five grand in that building to sign.
23:00Now, sweetheart, money can die of a broken heart in a place like that.
23:03Sorry.
23:04See, I want to get it out to work.
23:06It is working.
23:07It's earning 8% and no ifs.
23:10Look, diamond, I can turn it into four figures.
23:14Trust the magician.
23:30You look at the picture, darling.
23:32We ain't even got the runners-up yet.
23:34I came in to gaze at you, didn't I?
23:36I think you've got no bed.
23:37All my business, then or not?
23:39Business, he calls it.
23:41Joan, Mr Boxer's about to make an investment.
23:43In the back.
23:49$250, Nicker.
23:51But I'm sure you'd like to check.
23:54Riding on what?
23:56There's only one bet.
23:57Billy the Garzpot.
23:58Three to one.
24:00Oh, Bunyan.
24:01Yeah.
24:01Right.
24:02That's a very sport in bet.
24:04You're going to rob me rotten, aren't you, Rick?
24:06Breaking the habits of a lifetime, I am.
24:08The fight game is rubbish.
24:10And Tiny McClintock's at that dangerous age.
24:12Bunyan, well, I know he's an outsider,
24:14but in a two-horse race, who knows.
24:17Well, it sounds like you do.
24:19I assume that's a joke.
24:20No, it's just one of my witticisms.
24:22Okay.
24:24You're on.
24:27May the best man win.
24:29It's a fight, not a wedding.
24:30It's our girl.
24:48We should have been doing this weeks ago.
24:50All this, all this getting in shape.
24:52You trust me, Billy.
24:54I know what I'm doing, son.
24:57I'm strong enough.
24:59I know that.
25:00It's just me legs.
25:01You know what I mean?
25:02Yeah.
25:03Well, you won't be doing no running in the ring, Bill.
25:06Eh?
25:07Well, nowhere to run to, is there?
25:09No, but you've got to keep moving.
25:11You know?
25:12Yeah.
25:14You've got to use your brains, too.
25:17I mean, you want to come out of this with a bit of gelp, don't you?
25:21Yeah, my purse.
25:23Oh, Billy.
25:25Knock it off, son.
25:30Eight and a half minutes.
25:31Not bad.
25:36Now, Billy, you and me, we's going to have a little chat.
25:40Chat?
25:41Yeah.
25:42On the subject of money.
25:59Lot of luck in this game, really.
26:02Not like snooker.
26:03Get some practice here, son.
26:04Hiya, grills.
26:05Hi, Rob.
26:06Shh, shh, shh, shh.
26:07Rob.
26:08Shh, shh, shh, shh.
26:09Here, you don't drink, do you?
26:10No, it's no good for you.
26:11No, very good.
26:11Sure shout, Geordie.
26:12Rob.
26:13Yeah?
26:14Listen, I've been doing a bit of watching.
26:15Bit of what?
26:16For you.
26:17What, him?
26:18The gasper.
26:19Oh, yeah.
26:20Him and Bootsy, they're working out.
26:22Yeah.
26:23Listen, boy.
26:23There's his legs.
26:25Then there's his eyes.
26:26He's got a detached retina.
26:28It's pathetic.
26:29Well, who's this Bootsy, then?
26:30Bootsy Wilkinson, Billy's trainer.
26:32Yeah.
26:33Well, he's more of a bookie, really.
26:34Look, but...
26:35He's got a bookie for a trainer?
26:38Yeah.
26:41Bloody hell.
26:43Right.
26:46What do I know about him?
26:48Comes in the flat, scruffs up my ceiling, says nothing.
26:52Nev's not a talker.
26:54He's not even a brickie now, is he?
26:56Who told you?
26:57Well, I've seen him hanging down the market.
26:58He hasn't done any work.
26:59It's not his fault.
27:01Oh, look, Debbie, he's the sort of lad gets into trouble.
27:04If he should lose his rag, you know, he could really hurt somebody.
27:07Oh, it's not like that.
27:09Well, how do you know?
27:11It's not just me.
27:13He worries Robbie and all.
27:15When you know Robbie, he gets on with anybody.
27:18Do you know what he calls them?
27:19The gorilla.
27:22That's just Robbie.
27:23No, love.
27:24He means it.
27:25Come on.
27:32Oh, well, that's special, isn't it?
27:33I mean, Robbie, of all people.
27:35Do you know what they call him?
27:36I don't care what they call him.
27:38When Robbie gets into trouble, he does it on his own.
27:40Nobody else gets hurt.
27:42Oh, you can say that.
27:43Well, nobody doesn't want to, then.
28:07It's Robbie Books.
28:09I know.
28:10Todd, honey.
28:13Oi.
28:16Gil, I want to do a deal.
28:18This is a private hobby.
28:19Yeah, well, not this one.
28:20Listen, it's a big fight.
28:22You know, I put a bundle on Bunyan.
28:24You did.
28:25Yeah, well, I'll switch the bets.
28:26See, I want to put it all on Beasting, Folkestone, 3.30.
28:30You want a what?
28:31Yeah, but it's the biggest outside of the day.
28:33That's why I picked it.
28:34You're joking.
28:35No, I can't clean with you, Gil.
28:37Now, listen, Bunyan, he may not get out of the ring alive.
28:39It's a public crucifixion.
28:40I mean, I don't want any part of it.
28:43You're all heart, Robbie.
28:44It's all gone.
28:44But it can't be done.
28:45Think of the paperwork.
28:47And if I do it for you, I've got to do it for everybody.
28:49How can I run a business if all my clients keep changing their mind?
28:52They don't.
28:53To say nothing of the ethics.
28:55Eh?
28:56We have to observe very strict standards if anybody found that.
28:59All right, all right.
28:59I mean, I don't know why I've come in here.
29:01I mean, I've really done this.
29:02It's the truth.
29:02I want my brains to...
29:09I want my brains to do it for everybody.
29:11I want my brains to do it for everybody.
29:15I want my brains to do it for everybody.
29:32What?
29:33I could get a score from the town.
29:34All right, I'll take it.
29:36What happened?
29:38Somebody told you that a gasp is going to fall in the six.
29:40Yeah.
29:40Why?
29:41Well, because he's been bun.
29:43Well, why has he been bun?
29:44If he's got no chance and Tiny's going to murder him, why waste good money?
29:48Because somebody out there's worried.
29:51That's why.
30:03What's this?
30:04Morgan's talking.
30:05Where's Tiny on?
30:06Next.
30:08Sounds like it's over.
30:10No, that's just a knockdown.
30:11There are a couple of battles.
30:15Any chance of a drink in here?
30:21At the stairs at the back.
30:23It's all right.
30:50You'll need more than that.
30:52Eh?
30:541.15.
30:55You're joking?
30:57No, jokes would be extra, wouldn't they?
31:07Something I've never done before.
31:10I don't like it.
31:12You know what I mean?
31:13I've never swallowed it in my life.
31:15I'll not believe.
31:16When did you last win a fight?
31:18I made innocent of.
31:19I've done him in five rounds.
31:20Yeah, two year ago.
31:22How much you made in the ring since then?
31:24Had bad luck, didn't I?
31:26Yeah, but not tonight, son.
31:27Tonight's the big payday.
31:29And that's what it's all about.
31:34Not what it's all about, no.
31:37And I've got friends out there.
31:39Look, you just do what you're told.
31:41You'll have a lot more friends.
31:43You see, if you don't, we...
31:51Come on, Billy.
31:52Come on, son.
31:54Yeah, there's a tiny note of what's happening.
31:55Yeah, you expected us.
31:56Well, I hope so, because if you try to be...
31:58Billy, you be out.
31:59It's only this one.
32:03What about me next fight, then?
32:05You don't want to go in there again, do you?
32:07Just one more fight.
32:09I've got to go out with a win, you know what I mean?
32:10Yes, but they're not packing all up.
32:12Son, come on, they're playing our song.
32:20Do you reckon that Mulligan's all right?
32:22He looked dead to me.
32:23Well, a quick sponge down would be as good as you.
32:32They wouldn't climb in there, not for a grand.
32:34Neither would they.
32:37What do you reckon they get, then?
32:39Depends, didn't it?
32:40What on?
32:40It's your first time?
32:43Yeah.
32:44Oh, sir.
32:45Ladies and gentlemen, we now come to the main contest on this evening's programme.
32:52It is a heavyweight contest over eight three-minute rounds.
32:56In this corner, Billy Gasper-Bannon.
33:01And in this corner, following his recent winner to venue, Tiny McClendon.
33:09Recent?
33:10Nine months ago, that was.
33:12Coop, Titans.
33:17Are you going down?
33:18No.
33:20Can't stand the sight of blood.
33:24Company?
33:26Company!
33:31Sky!
33:32Oh my God, my son!
34:12You enjoy this, do you?
34:13Max Jones from the telly.
34:24What she did, Gaspar?
34:41There's a spot!
34:42Coz!
35:15Now, you cut that out, Billy. We don't want none of that.
35:18You sure he knows what's supposed to be, isn't it?
35:19He's just trying to make it look good, that's all.
35:21Look good. He's not in the dummy and a kid.
35:23He never did.
35:25If he does it again, I'll tell you.
35:26Now, you behave yourself. You know what you're supposed to do.
35:29You're among friends here, son. You just remember that, ain't you?
35:42Yes, sir.
35:43Yes, sir.
35:45Yes, sir.
35:47Cheers.
35:50Same again, love. Do you want one?
35:52Oh, come. I'll have a little theatre.
35:53Well, one, two, three.
35:56Oh, my God!
35:59Oh, my God!
36:02Oh, my God!
36:05Oh, my God!
36:06Oh, my God!
36:07Oh, my God!
36:32One, two, three, four!
36:421
36:462
36:475
36:486
36:497
36:528
36:548
36:557
37:02Ladies and Gentlemen,
37:04The winner in 55 seconds in the second round, Billy Gaspar Donnelly!
37:15Wonderful!
37:37You do the milk round these mornings, and before you ask, he's got a cold.
37:41He's called a cold, all right?
37:42He won't see no-one.
37:44I've got him some grapes.
37:48I'm gonna have a padlock put on that door.
37:50I tried to stop him.
37:52All right, all right, all right.
37:55Good fight.
37:57Didn't fancy it, never went.
37:58Oh, you missed a bit of entertainment.
38:00I made a lot of friends down there last night, so did the Gaspar.
38:02Mind you, it was the slowest count I've ever heard.
38:06Let's see if I can count a bit faster than that, ref.
38:08I mean, you never know, you may have robbed yourself. Easily done.
38:11A one, a two, a three, a four, a five.
38:20I mean, he's not the sort of person that combs his hair between deals, is he?
38:24Not that I've noticed, no.
38:25I suppose he talks a lot during the play. They usually do.
38:28He will respond if needled.
38:29Mmm.
38:30Mmm.
38:31I can't stand all that chatter.
38:33Then he's good.
38:34Well, it's hard to tell after just one evening, but he certainly played brilliantly then.
38:38But we're not gonna go for him.
38:39No squeezing.
38:41He is an unfamiliar territory after all.
38:43All right.
38:44I mean, just a polite game of cards between gentlemen.
38:46One, not too polite.
38:49One.
38:52Eighty.
38:53Ninety.
38:55One.
38:57One.
38:58And the same again, for luck.
39:00All right.
39:07Cool, I'd raise $200.
39:12Well...
39:15It makes you wonder whether you've got the right ones, doesn't it?
39:18Ah, but there's only one way of finding out.
39:23Cool.
39:25Hold it, son. Hold it, hold it.
39:28And raise.
39:39Well, we shall never know, shall we?
39:41Another of life's little mysteries.
39:45I think I'll go and stretch my legs, if nobody minds.
39:47Yes, you go right ahead, son. I'll join you.
39:54Naughty thoughts, Viv.
39:56I wouldn't have looked. Not really.
39:59No. Of course you wouldn't.
40:04Where's the, um...
40:07Where's the...
40:07Uh...
40:08The lamp post.
40:12Tom.
40:25Yes, he's like a machine, isn't he?
40:27I told you he was good.
40:30Bloody yob.
40:33Well, he's had his little bit of fun.
40:35Time for the gloves to come off now, I think.
40:38New tactics.
40:42Your friend has one weakness.
40:44He needs to win.
40:47He can't afford not to.
40:50So every hand becomes a potential waterloo.
40:53You don't relax.
40:54That can be very tiring.
40:56True.
40:58When you're tired, you fall into predictable patterns of play.
41:01He's beginning to do it already.
41:03I know.
41:22I thought you were going out.
41:24No.
41:25No, Maureen.
41:26She's gone swimming.
41:29Why didn't you go?
41:31No.
41:34I didn't know Maureen was much of a swimmer.
41:37There's a lot of them get down there.
41:41Oh, Nev?
41:43Yeah?
41:46Do you fancy it?
41:48No.
41:54You haven't seen them all week, have you?
41:56He's all right, but he's not much of a talker.
41:59Always talking about swimming or boxing or weightlifting.
42:04He even wants to go in for the London Marathon.
42:06He must be crackers, eh?
42:08Hmm.
42:09Yeah, I suppose he was a bit limited.
42:12Limited?
42:17Are you going out?
42:19Oh, no.
42:21I thought you were.
42:22No.
42:23Not if you're stopping in.
42:24I'm in that skirt for you.
42:25Oh, thanks.
42:26You can't go out with it like it is, can you?
42:28You get lots of whistles.
42:29Yes.
42:30I know all about that.
42:43Can I have a cup of tea, please?
42:45No sugar.
42:50Cool.
42:52I'll raise another one.
42:57The old routine.
43:00I'm supposed to fold, is that it?
43:03You can fold, or cold, or raise, or burst into flames.
43:08I'm too knuckle to care.
43:14Well, in that case, I'll raise a grand.
43:27Right, I'll do it.
43:38I'll do it.
43:39I'll do it.
43:40That's fine.
43:42I'll do it.
43:45I'll do it.
43:45Oh.
43:49Cool.
43:52And raise.
43:55Now you're supposed to fold.
43:57Get it?
44:02Yeah.
44:07I'm not going to.
44:09I'm going to see you, Robbie.
44:11Well, I ain't seen nothing going in yet.
44:16Is that enough?
44:17You've got to be in it.
44:21Two bears.
44:26Full house.
44:33Two's.
44:37And two's.
44:42You bastard.
44:43You've got to be in it.
44:45Like you said, Viv.
44:47It's the old routine.
45:09It's the old routine.
45:10There you go.
45:12It's got nothing smaller.
45:13Ain't finished yet.
45:14I'll just be five minutes.
45:15Then where?
45:16Not far.
45:16Just round the corner and you can keep the change.
45:18Okay.
45:29Rob?
45:54You're a bit nervous.
45:57Don't go out.
45:57You're a bit nervous at home.
46:00I'm a operative.
46:02No.
46:09You're a bit nervous.
46:11You're a bit nervous.
46:12You're a bit nervous.
46:14You're a bit nervous.
46:16I'm nervous.
46:17It's so good.
