TVTranscript
00:00Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which
00:07thou hast prepared before the face of all people, to be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be
00:13the glory of the people of Israel.
00:15We have entrusted our brother Henry Arthur Diamond to God's merciful keeping, and we now commit his body to the
00:23ground. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, ensure uncertain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through
00:33our Lord Jesus Christ who died, was buried and rose again for us. To him be glory forever and ever.
00:42Amen.
01:04You killed my master! Gabriel, don't touch me!
01:19Henry!
01:26I'm sorry, Henry.
01:30I won't do it again.
01:33I promise.
01:52Another bill?
01:54No, it's...
01:56It's for Robbie.
01:59Watch out!
02:00E.T. on the go.
02:01I'm spitting feathers here.
02:03Hello, Robert.
02:04How'd it go then, all right?
02:06Well, they buried him in the pouring rain.
02:09What more can I say?
02:11Oh, I can't bear to think about it.
02:13Just think, Henry Diamond doing a terrible thing like that, just makes me shudder.
02:18How's Jan taking it?
02:20Hard.
02:24What's this?
02:25It's for you, son.
02:26Only, Mum's sake, I'm sorry.
02:28It's, um...
02:30It's from the tax office.
02:33They brought up to you at last.
02:35And I always knew they would.
02:37They always do in the end.
02:39Leave it out, Tom, will you?
02:40Dear sir.
02:41I don't know.
02:44We seem to have no record of your tax returns.
02:47Threat, threat, threat, threat, threat, threat, threat.
02:50This matter is now urgent.
02:51Requires your immediate attention.
02:55Bastard.
02:56It says in there you never answered their previous letter.
02:59I didn't even know you'd even had one.
03:01No, I had one a couple of months ago.
03:02Slung it in the bin.
03:04In the bin?
03:05Tuck, tuck, Robert.
03:06You can't do things like that.
03:08Hidden and Revenue never give up once you're on their file.
03:11Yeah, well, what I don't understand is how I got on their files after all these years.
03:14Some nice bastard stuck me up, I suppose.
03:17I'm still speaking feathers here, darling.
03:19Sorry, son.
03:21You won't put that one in the bin, will you?
03:23You will go and see him.
03:25I'll think about it.
03:30Son of a bitch.
03:33It's a damn nice shot, Frank.
03:35Yeah, it is, isn't it?
03:37Yeah.
03:40Pity about the Frenchman.
03:43Dropping out.
03:44Yeah, well, I'm looking for a new punter now, you know.
03:47Yeah, but that ain't easy, is it, Frank?
03:48Good poker players with that kind of bread.
03:51Rare as tits on a bullfrog.
03:53I know.
03:56I have a little side bet here.
03:59Closest to the pin.
04:01How much?
04:03Oh, nothing too heavy.
04:04Say, uh, 50 bucks.
04:08You got a bet.
04:12Yeah.
04:13Looks good.
04:16Looks like 50 bucks.
04:26Unlucky, son.
04:36Now, Betty, two o'clock, Chep's time.
04:40Midday sun.
04:40By two minutes.
04:41Oh, God, another blowout.
04:42Keep telling you where the sir is, Robbie.
04:49You will never guess why I saw up the golf course early today.
04:52Don't tell me the Queen, Mum.
04:53No, no, better.
04:54Yeah?
04:55Frank Aldino with none other than the man himself, Hal Brookman.
05:03Hal Brookman.
05:04Are you sure it was him?
05:06Has sootie got an end up, he's took us?
05:08Of course it was him.
05:08Okay, double four.
05:11Hal Brookman.
05:12Double three.
05:13Oh, the governor.
05:16Well, well, well.
05:17Word does get a burn, innit?
05:19So, Hal Brookman's in town.
05:20So what?
05:21Well, I was, uh, wondering what the chances were of getting to sit down with a man.
05:26Well, you, you mean?
05:27Oh, yeah.
05:28Come off it, Bobby boy.
05:29You're kidding me, right?
05:30No, no.
05:32Look, he's heavy duty, son.
05:33I mean, Hal Brookman's Mr Poker himself.
05:35You reckon you're in his league?
05:36Well, I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
05:37I mean, if Brookman's in town, it means a big spills coming off.
05:39Go home, son.
05:40You're way out of your depths.
05:41Sure, here's a big game going to take place, but it's far too rich for the likes of you.
05:45No offence, son.
05:46If you don't turn up the masses like this with a monkey in your sky.
05:49Well, I realise that.
05:49What would a guy need?
05:50What would a guy need?
05:51How much to get in?
05:52A lot more than you can rake up.
05:53What, four?
05:54Five grand?
05:55Don't believe you'd be near the mark.
06:16Five grand?
06:24Six grand?
06:26Six grand?
07:11Oh.
07:13Oh.
07:16Oh.
07:18Oh.
07:18Oh.
07:18Phone, Frank.
07:20Sent no calls to me.
07:22Yeah, I know, Frank.
07:23But this is from El Senki.
07:25The Finn.
07:31Hello, Emmy.
07:32How's Trace?
07:33Hello, Frankie.
07:34Listen, I've got problems.
07:35They won't be able to make the game.
07:36Oh, that's bad news.
07:38Yeah, I won't be able to get over for another month.
07:40Yeah.
07:40Yeah, yeah.
07:41Thanks for letting me know.
07:42Okay, I'll see you next month.
07:44Yeah, I'll see you then.
07:45Yeah, turn off.
07:48Problems?
07:50Yeah, it's a Finn.
07:51He can't make the game.
07:53Terrific.
07:55No, that's no problem.
07:56Still got the floor of us.
07:57Floor?
07:59What do we got here, Frank?
08:00A bridge game?
08:01Hey, come on, boy.
08:02I came over here to play poker.
08:04You better find somebody else and quick.
08:07Or I'm out.
08:08I'm out.
08:09You need you in a house.
08:14Danny, first thing tomorrow, you get me Bobby Box, right?
08:17Yeah, right, Frank.
08:28Princess, come on, switch the head off for a bit, eh?
08:34I know it's hard and it's sad.
08:38Come on, mate, come on, come on, come on.
08:43Oh, Rob, why?
08:48Why, why?
08:49I don't know why, I mean, I suppose the man didn't see any future.
08:54Well, I've been down that road myself, I mean, it's not easy.
08:57Henry had a future.
08:58But you can never see it from the same angle.
09:01You see one thing, somebody else see something different.
09:04I don't know, it's like a what?
09:06It's like a grey void, isn't it?
09:07Today is today and tomorrow, blank.
09:10It's like this enormous grey emptiness waiting to swallow you up.
09:17Oh, Rob, let's go away.
09:20Let's just up and go.
09:22Let's start a new life.
09:25You know, it appeals to me more and more.
09:28It's a funny thing, you know.
09:29When it was all down to me, you know, when I was trying to get myself straight with the tax
09:32man,
09:32I didn't mind I was doing it because I wanted to do it.
09:34But now?
09:35Yeah, but now they're pushing me.
09:37They're trying to...
09:39I can't do it in me own time.
09:41And the thought of giving them all that money, it gets right up my nose.
09:45Look, if I sold this place with the money we get from that,
09:48and the money you've saved,
09:49we could.
09:51We could start a new life.
09:53Yeah, it's a...
09:54It's a rosy, rosy picture, isn't it?
10:01What about Mum and Tommy though, eh?
10:08Rob, I don't know all the answers.
10:11And it won't be easy.
10:13But if we don't do it soon, it'll be too late.
10:23I think you'd better get out of the building society tomorrow and get our money out.
10:26What do you mean?
10:28I hate grey voids.
10:30Oh, Robbie!
10:34There you go.
10:36Jack crap, eh?
10:39Ow!
10:39Leave it out.
10:40It's a bloody good radio, please, huh?
10:42It's how she finally got through you, eh, Rob?
10:45I'll tell you what.
10:46If I had nine grand tucked away,
10:47and the choice was between paying it all out for the tax man
10:49and doing a run at your Aussie,
10:50I know what I'd do.
10:51Oh, it ain't that easy, mate, is it?
10:52You wouldn't see me for dust.
10:54And with a tasty woman like you've got,
10:56on your bike, Robbie Bucks.
10:57Nine grand, that's exactly a fortune.
10:59Won't last forever.
11:00Yeah, well, death's the only thing that lasts forever.
11:02Just think what you could do with all that dough.
11:08Here you are.
11:08Glory boy, 2.45, good boy.
11:10Nah, he's a donkey.
11:12And had the winning six outings.
11:13Well, it's about due then, right?
11:14Yeah, he could be right.
11:16Here, cheers, George.
11:18You all right?
11:18Super?
11:19Mm, smells good.
11:20Yeah.
11:21Tie, George.
11:23Ooh.
11:24Fields, four, five to one.
11:27One dog, five to two, favourite.
11:29Offense, oh, seven.
11:31Spring, tonic in six, seven to two.
11:34Metalisa in two, twelve to one.
11:37Fat four, two to one.
11:38Bobby Bucks, Billy.
11:40Might have.
11:41Done again.
11:42Now, look, pal.
11:43Don't get leery with me, right?
11:45Just answer the question.
11:47Yes or no.
11:48On your bike.
11:50Oh, ah!
11:51Oh, oh, oh, oh!
11:53Ah!
11:55You had enough, pal, or what, eh?
11:57Will?
11:58What the hell's going on?
12:00No trouble, love.
12:02Right, pal?
12:04All right, now, if Bobby Bucks comes here, you tell him.
12:08Frank Aldino would like a word, right?
12:11Yeah.
12:12Good.
12:14No, that weren't too bad, were it?
12:17See ya.
12:19You're back.
12:21You know who that was?
12:22Danny Moore, one of Frankie Aldino's mob.
12:25You all right, Kip?
12:27Yeah, that slag.
12:28Oh, my leg.
12:30Stop it, man, your bleeding leg.
12:31What about me dinner?
12:33Oh, my leg.
12:39Hey, Jodie, you all right?
12:41Yeah, all right, Jodie.
12:42Can I see a drink?
12:44No, I'm all right, thanks.
12:47Yeah, Jodie.
12:49You and Robert, mate, since you?
12:50All right, we've got back years.
12:52You know Jas been trying to talk a minute going out of Aussie, don't you?
12:55Yeah, but he won't have it, the mug.
12:57Well, I ain't so sure now.
12:59The idea's beginning to look a bit of a prospect.
13:00Yeah?
13:01Yeah, the thought of lobbing out all his loot to the tax man's making him think again,
13:04isn't he?
13:05Hey, that's great, man.
13:06It's quite telling that man she ought to think in the streets.
13:08Yeah, ain't he just?
13:10Mind you, he's got a few grand tucked away, this old Rob, you know.
13:13Wouldn't surprise me if he didn't try and double it up.
13:16What do you mean?
13:17Is that the spieler?
13:18Yeah.
13:19No, Rob, it was not that daft man.
13:21He knows the score.
13:23He wouldn't do it.
13:27I don't see why we've got to wait.
13:28I mean, it's our money, innit?
13:29I've got to give him a notice, you know that.
13:31Anyway, you've got to get your passport sorted out, that's going to take a while.
13:34Then there's a trip towards your house for your visa.
13:35Yeah, but it's not the point.
13:36I mean, it's still our money, and I just want to see what nine grand feels like to punch.
13:42All in good time.
13:43Lord.
13:44Wait.
13:44What?
13:45I'm going to go to the market.
13:46Do you want me to come?
13:46No, yeah, full of tricks me.
13:47No, I'll see you later.
13:48I'm going for a pint, all right?
13:49Oh, don't forget that chat over dinner with Debbie, will you?
13:51No, I won't forget.
13:52Enjoy your pint.
13:53I will.
13:53Bless you.
13:54See you.
13:55Mine's a pint target.
13:57Oh, Robby, you ought to be buying me a pint, mate.
13:59Oh, yeah?
14:00What's that with your leg?
14:01Ferrets might take a pint out of it, or what?
14:03No, as it happens, an old pal of yours kicks us in the shins, the slag.
14:06Friend of mine, what do you want about?
14:11Call him, Benny.
14:17Yeah?
14:20To what, pal?
14:22Listen, how many times have I got to tell you, you thick bastard?
14:26If you want to see me, fine, but don't touch my friends.
14:29Larry Bastard?
14:31Yeah, yeah, I've heard ducks file on Tim before.
14:33Now, come on, what is it?
14:34Simple enough.
14:36Just tell your mug pals to have a little bit of respect, that's all right?
14:39What's the game, mate?
14:40I don't respect that pig shit.
14:42Well, that is no good waster.
14:44You are going to get yours, son.
14:48Don't throw down any dog, have you?
14:50Yeah, man.
15:01Right, you all done then, pig shit?
15:03That's not nice, Bobby.
15:07Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, Frank.
15:09You know, I was talking to the animal of yours a moment ago.
15:11Yeah, well, now you're talking to me.
15:14Now, listen, I'm looking for a good poker player.
15:17The sort of player who's been out of the stakes I mentioned yesterday.
15:20Do you know anybody who can fit the bill?
15:21I might?
15:23Yes, I know, Bobby, boy, ain't got time to piss about.
15:26Now, look, put somebody in touch and there's a good drink in it for you.
15:30When's it happening then?
15:31Friday night.
15:32But I need to know before then.
15:34And no bad eggs, sir, this is a class game.
15:37Do you understand my meaning?
15:38Yeah, right, I'll be in touch.
15:40Yeah, let's do that.
15:52Come on, hold your bum.
15:55So what's so special about it tonight, then?
15:58You wait.
15:59You'll find that all in the time.
16:05Hello?
16:06Hello, princess.
16:06Listen, I can't make dinner.
16:08Oh, Robbie, you promised.
16:10Yeah, I know.
16:11Listen, I'm sorry, but some urgent business has come up.
16:13I've cooked a special meal.
16:15What's so urgent, you toad?
16:17What's business?
16:18More for the nest egg.
16:18I just forgot that I've made the arrangements, that's all.
16:21Toad?
16:22Yeah, I know.
16:22Listen, you don't need me to outline the plans to Debbie, do you?
16:25I mean, just put her in the picture.
16:27Toad?
16:27Yeah, I know.
16:28Yeah, listen, I've got to go.
16:29I'll see you later, all right?
16:30All right, bye.
16:33Card game, right?
16:35Business.
16:36Same difference.
16:38So what's so special, then?
16:40All right, you're going to tell me now?
16:41Yeah, Robbie and I were going to talk to you about the future, that's all.
16:45Oh, good.
16:46For a minute, I thought you was going to tell me about the birds and the bees.
16:50So you weren't aggro?
16:57Well, what did the man want?
17:02Or shouldn't I ask?
17:05I'm sorry, mate.
17:06I was miles away.
17:07Listen, are there any schools going tonight?
17:11Yeah, one coming off at Max's and another down Terry Fox's gaff.
17:15That's not good enough.
17:17No, I need something heavy.
17:19Only everyone tonight is around Kenny Roberts' place.
17:21We both know that could be a bit, you know, bent as a box of frogs.
17:27Yeah, what, frogs or not, I'm going to have some.
17:31Robbo?
17:33Hold up.
17:35I know, Mum, you're bloody ill.
17:37Australia.
17:39Your English is going from bad to worse.
17:41Do you know that?
17:46What about Robbie?
17:49I mean, does he know about it?
17:51Yeah, of course.
17:53Look, all I'm asking you to do for the minute is think about it, all right?
17:58It'll be a new start for us.
18:08You ain't half had some Donald Duck tonight, sunshine.
18:12Name of the game, Ken.
18:13Whose deal, eh?
18:14Mine.
18:17You've hurt me tonight, you have, Rob.
18:19I might need a sub the way I'm going, all right?
18:21No offence, mate, but not tonight.
18:22I need a result.
18:23To what?
18:24The other night you could have a shirt off my back,
18:26but tonight I need to be holding.
18:33Well, come on, sunshine, the cards are getting cold.
18:37It's all for nothing, pal.
18:39I'll stand you one night and all, won't I?
18:40No, mate.
18:40King's the bet.
18:44Here.
18:46I'll go a tenner on the king.
18:52Oh.
19:01Why don't you have a lay-in for a change, Mum?
19:04Yeah, I think I will.
19:06I just set that automatically.
19:10I'm certainly middle-aged, that, you know.
19:12Doing things out of pure habit.
19:22Mum, yeah?
19:24You know, if we do go to Australia,
19:28and we don't like it,
19:31well, can we come back?
19:33Yeah.
19:35Yeah, of course we can.
19:38Look, I'll make a deal with you.
19:41We'll give it a year.
19:43And if either of us don't like it,
19:45or we can't settle down,
19:47then we'll both come back here, yeah?
19:49Is that fair?
19:50You've got a deal.
19:54Let's go.
19:56Let's go.
20:10Sorry, mate.
20:11Cool.
20:12Raise another score.
20:23Cool.
20:31Sorry, mate.
20:36Yeah.
20:40Cheers for the game.
20:42See you around.
21:06Cheers.
21:12Cheers.
21:23Cheers.
21:25Cheers.
21:29Boo!
21:31All right, Dick, eh?
21:33Oh, yeah, great.
21:36Just great.
21:39Look, we've been playing poker at the same tables for years.
21:43I can't even begin to remember just how many times I've stood you in the past.
21:46I'm sorry. Look, just try and understand, will you?
21:50Tonight I had to pull a K. I needed it bad.
21:52Bloody hell, are you in poverty, Rob?
21:54No, I'm not in poverty. I've just got the old tax man after me.
21:56Yes, sir.
21:57Well, so what?
21:59Australia's a long, long way away, isn't it?
22:00Back to the tax man.
22:02I mean, even if you decided not to go, at least you've got the wage to pay them off with.
22:05They ain't no bother.
22:07What? Yeah, then what?
22:08And what do you mean, then what?
22:09Then what? Then what?
22:10Then you live happily ever after, don't you?
22:13Well, like the movies, yeah.
22:14Yeah, why not?
22:18Yeah, you've still got that lump.
22:19You haven't gone and blown it, have you?
22:20I've still got it. Yeah, I've got about, what, 10k.
22:23But I mean, it's not enough to start a new life out in Kangerland, is it?
22:27Thousands will argue with that one, mate.
22:28So you ain't going, is that what you're saying?
22:30No, it's not what I'm saying.
22:31What I'm saying is, if it comes to a straight choice between giving the money to the tax man
22:35and going to Aussie, like you said, I mean, it's the tax man.
22:38Then 10k has got to be enough, ain't it?
22:40You've narrowed two choices down to one.
22:42Have a nice trip, send us a postcard.
22:43Yeah, but I mean, there's another prospect, isn't there?
22:48One that opens all kinds of options for us, if I can pull it off.
22:52Oh, come on, Rob.
22:54You ain't thinking what I think you're thinking, are you?
22:58You are, you're bleeding well off.
23:00That's why you needed to pull a case tonight, ain't it?
23:03I'm on a winning streak. I mean, I can't go wrong at the moment.
23:07Oh, that's mug punter talk, Rob.
23:08I can... I can feel it in here.
23:12This is a big chance. I mean, I could turn 10k to 20, 30, even.
23:15Robbie, Robbie, you're talking like a plum.
23:19Characters like Al Brookman eat blokes like us, for starters.
23:22Like you, mate, not geezers like me.
23:24I'm good, and you know it.
23:27Yeah, you're good.
23:29Yeah.
23:29You're the tops.
23:32Kiddy of them all.
23:34Yeah, and you know it.
23:37You know it, pal.
23:50Oh, stone me. Have you looked in the mirror?
23:53No.
23:54I should give it a miss if I were you.
23:56You look like the rough end of a pineapple.
23:58There's already tea going, is there?
23:59Yeah.
24:00Oh, Robbie.
24:03Late one, was it?
24:04Mm.
24:05Want to talk about it?
24:09About what?
24:10Well, whatever it is, there's worry in you.
24:14Look, son, I know you better than anyone.
24:16You can't kid me.
24:18Is it about me and Tommy?
24:20Nah, of course it is, isn't it, you silly girl?
24:22It's nothing.
24:23Don't worry.
24:24Then it must be Jan.
24:25You haven't had a row again, have you?
24:27Of course we ain't.
24:29Just leave off your nagging, will you?
24:30Yeah.
24:31No.
24:33You haven't had a row, but it is about Jan.
24:35No.
24:37Well, I don't know, it's yes and no, I suppose.
24:39I mean, it's just, um...
24:42It's just things, I suppose.
24:47I mean, the thing is, all my life, all my working life...
24:53Oh, Robbie, do me a favour, whenever have you done any work?
24:57Well, you know what I mean.
25:00I've just got a chance to fulfil a sort of dream.
25:04Oh, I didn't know you had any.
25:06We all have dreams, Mum.
25:08All right.
25:10You've got a dream.
25:12So, what's the problem?
25:16If I go for this dream...
25:18Yeah?
25:19I gamble everything I care for.
25:23Look, son, ever since you was a little boy of 12,
25:27you've always gambled.
25:29Yeah, but this is different.
25:31This is a big deal.
25:33And the stakes are very high.
25:399,000 quid.
25:41Boy, it feels great, Mum.
25:43Hey, what are you going to do with it?
25:45I mean, where are you going to keep it?
25:46That's what I've been thinking, you know.
25:47At least it was safe in the building society.
25:49Don't worry, I've got a mate who knows who's going to show us the ropes
25:51against getting the best exchange rate against the Australian...
25:55Guess what?
25:55What?
25:56Tamarama's only a few minutes away from Bondi Beach.
26:00Do you realise?
26:01Oh, I'd have to get a new bikini, wouldn't I?
26:03Oh, I wish I was gone with you, Mum.
26:05Hey, it would be great.
26:06Just think, a new life, all that sunshine.
26:08Yeah, all right.
26:09Come on, security, man.
26:10Give us a lift.
26:10I've got a lot of things to do.
26:11I'll see you later, sweetheart.
26:12And don't worry, babe.
26:13I'll give you a dozen bikini.
26:14All that sunshine.
26:15Half-naked, sundown, women, warm feet.
26:18Come on, go on, go on.
26:33Come on, go on.
26:34Er, are you sure you don't want us to work for you?
26:37I've got nothing else to do.
26:38No, that's all right, mate.
26:38I'll see you later down the boozer.
26:40And, Robbo, I'd just like to say that I'm really chuffed about you and Jan got the Aussie.
26:45And, er, well, I'll miss you.
26:49Yeah.
26:49Well, cheers, mate.
26:50I'll see you later.
26:52Hey, you mind how you go with all that loot?
27:16Hey, you mind how you go with all that loot?
27:24Next to my neighbour.
27:26So how much are you down?
27:27About 20 quid.
27:29Double or nothing on the next one.
27:30Mark's bet.
27:31Still, I'll have some.
27:34Look where the wind blew in.
27:36Denny!
27:39Hello, Bobby.
27:41Come in.
27:42Good news, I hope.
27:44A good poker player with 10 grand sit-down money.
27:57Do I fit the bill?
28:00He'll never go.
28:01I've known Robbie a lot of years.
28:03He'll never change.
28:04You'd be surprised, lad.
28:06I thought I knew him.
28:07He's changed.
28:08Never.
28:09He's got more chance of meeting the Pope in this boozer than changing.
28:13Hello, Geordie.
28:15Hey, up.
28:16What are you looking so pleased about?
28:18Oh, I've just been around at Robbo and Jan's.
28:19Hey.
28:20Isn't it great about them packing up and going to Australia?
28:22That's a laugh.
28:24I'm going for Gil Fraser Wobbly.
28:27Australia.
28:29Come on, love.
28:30What's up with her?
28:31Oh, nothing.
28:32You just left Robbie and Jan, you said?
28:34Aye.
28:35Why, like, I've just dropped Robbo off the club.
28:37Hey.
28:37He knows a bloke who's going to do him a special deal on his Aussie dollars.
28:41Oh, yeah.
28:42In Ealing, was it?
28:44Oh, you know the man, then?
28:45Yeah, I know the man.
28:46And Robbie ain't gone there for no deal on Aussie dollars, I know.
28:49That was Frank Aldino's gap.
28:52You remember what I said to you yesterday?
28:55You mean about him gambling his Aussie money?
28:57Yeah, well, if you've dropped him at Frank Aldino's,
29:00he's already gone and done it.
29:03Oh, he wouldn't.
29:10They're busted.
29:11They're no good lying, busted.
29:26Hey, mate.
29:27Where's your damage?
29:28Here we go.
29:29Take three.
29:30Thank you very much.
29:31Two, two, two.
29:33What's your jury?
29:34What you doing here, son?
29:35Waiting for you.
29:36People will start talking.
29:39Tell us it's not true, Robbo.
29:41Tell you what's not true.
29:42That place I dropped you out was Frank Aldino's.
29:46Well, what if it was?
29:47What's the problem?
29:49You're going to do it, aren't you?
29:50You're going to gamble the whole friggin' shooting match.
29:52Leave it out, Geordie.
29:54Do us all a favour.
29:56Mind your own business.
29:58Hold on, bastard.
30:00It is my business.
30:01Because I'm making it my business.
30:02Oh, yeah.
30:03Yeah.
30:03Does Jan know?
30:06Geordie...
30:06She doesn't, does she?
30:08She's up there now, planning the future.
30:11Look, you can't go around playing with people's lives like a hand of poker.
30:16Geordie, get out of my way.
30:21You just couldn't be straight with a girl, could you?
30:22What the hell are you doing?
30:25Well, if you can't, I can't.
30:26You, but...
30:27Oh, no, Robbo.
30:28You're not running away from this one.
30:30You are going to tell her.
30:31I'm not rocking with you, Geordie.
30:35There's plenty more where that came from.
30:38You don't understand, Geordie.
30:40Don't I?
30:42You are going to tell her if I have to break every bone in your body, because it's her future
30:46you're playing with.
30:48Rob?
30:52Geordie, what are you doing?
30:54I'm sorry, Jan.
30:56Get the bastard to tell you.
31:05Robby!
31:07Robby!
31:34Leave him, girl.
31:36He won't listen to you in the mood he's in.
31:40Tommy, he's been in there for two days, and look, he's hardly eaten a thing.
31:46I know all that.
31:48He'll get over it in time.
31:50You know what he's like.
32:27Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:29Geordie, Dick, Eenie, Johnny.
32:51Orange juice, please, both.
33:05How's Joan, are you all right?
33:09Yeah, I'm all right.
