00:08You don't get air like this in London.
00:10Thank God.
00:12Blows your cobwebs away.
00:14I like my cobwebs.
00:17Yeah, we've got dumplings for dinner.
00:20She can't cook.
00:23Well, that's not the point.
00:24You're on your honeymoon.
00:26Someone else saving away in the kitchen.
00:30Tommy, if I gave you food like that, you'd throw it on the floor.
00:34Yeah, but that's different.
00:36That's home.
00:45What's up with it?
00:47Up with it?
00:48She's good for another 50,000.
00:52That is a very clean motor.
00:54Somebody's going to get a lot of satisfaction out of that.
00:57A lot of satisfaction.
01:01You'll be right, yeah.
01:03That's cooking right off.
01:09You fancy a job?
01:11No, we just missed them.
01:12No problem.
01:14You've got the lousy dragon club.
01:16If it's open, don't knock it.
01:24The last time I was down here, this fella dropped dead in the car seat.
01:27I don't know how he fell.
01:34Hello, Dick.
01:35Hi, Chris.
01:37You know Robbie, don't you?
01:38Not yet.
01:39Before your time, are you doing okay?
01:41Two pints, darling.
01:43And one for Arthur.
01:47Where have you been?
01:49Oh, on the road.
01:51Portsmouth Tuesday.
01:52Had to take a jag up to Newcastle last week.
01:57How's your mum?
01:59Not too clever.
02:00Oh, sorry about that.
02:03You haven't moved in with her, have you?
02:05No.
02:06I'm still in my place.
02:07Oh.
02:09I'll get them.
02:11There you go.
02:16How you doing, Arthur?
02:19This is a good friend of mine, Robbie Box.
02:25I'm very pleased to meet you.
02:28Me too, yeah.
02:29What's up?
02:31Where's the governor?
02:32Never here, is he?
02:45He's had some bad news, hasn't he, old mate?
02:48Yeah.
02:48Sat in front of him.
02:50In a glass.
02:53He used to be a piano player.
02:55He still is, when he can see the keys.
02:59Why do people come to places like this?
03:02Because they're open.
03:03Yeah, but why do they do it up?
03:05Die?
03:07He's making money.
03:08You can make more.
03:08If you've got something like this, you've got to make the most of it.
03:11Getting started is the hard bit.
03:16Why don't you get started when you had the chance?
03:19When was that?
03:21A few months ago, when you were flush.
03:24It was never enough, was it?
03:26Oh, yeah.
03:27How much is enough?
03:28Well, it wasn't that sort of money.
03:30Just sit down for the next game.
03:34Wouldn't be like that now.
03:38What?
03:40You were joking.
03:48Mum, don't do nothing.
03:50I'll phone you back.
03:52Yeah, today.
03:53Yeah.
03:54So long.
03:58Look, why didn't we go down here and talk some sense in the room?
04:02We?
04:03Mum's always had a sort of spot for you.
04:05She never takes any notice of what I say.
04:07She'll listen to you.
04:09Well, what would I say?
04:11Well, tell her to grow up for a start.
04:13Come.
04:14Well, look, if they come back after three days, Tommy's life won't be worth living.
04:18There's no way to start married life, is it?
04:20What about Vi's life?
04:22Well, it's the same thing.
04:26Well, when?
04:27Tomorrow.
04:28Can't be any later.
04:30What, straight there and back?
04:31Yeah, there's a train back, yeah.
04:34I'm not stopping overnight.
04:38Well, of course not.
04:43Well, all right, then, if it'll hold.
04:45Oh, smash it.
04:45I'll give him a ring, Tom.
04:57Well, it's your money.
04:59I'd just like to get one thing straight, Mr. Turnbull.
05:01If she's working for me, I give the orders.
05:04I don't want her on the phone to you in Sydney every five minutes.
05:08Fine.
05:10Well, that's okay, then.
05:13Yeah, I'm expecting her any minute.
05:16And to you, Mr. Turnbull.
05:32Come on up.
05:48Come in.
05:54So, you're Jan.
05:56How are you, Jan?
05:57Client, thank you.
05:58And Mr. Turnbull wants you to pick up a few pieces for him.
06:01I haven't been to many big auctions, but...
06:03Well, you stick close to me and you won't go far wrong.
06:05Mind you, it's not a game you learn overnight.
06:08Well, sit down.
06:09Do you want some coffee?
06:11Yes, yes, please.
06:11Do you want some coffee, please?
06:22Yeah?
06:25Why have they slipped it in there?
06:29Yeah, dead cunning.
06:30But don't you worry, Gerry.
06:32I'll be there.
06:33You're working well, son.
06:35You've got to have eyes in the back of your head in this business.
06:38Queen Anne, the old desk.
06:41Perfect nick.
06:42Slipped into a little sale this afternoon.
06:45Someone's being done.
06:46But it's not going to be us.
06:48Right, forget what I just said, Jan.
06:50You're starting today.
06:51Today?
06:52A sale in Hartford.
06:53You've had to do that on your own.
06:55No problem.
06:56I'll do the desk.
06:57It's in the same neck of the woods.
06:59I can't today.
07:00I've got to go to Essex.
07:01For Turnbull?
07:03No.
07:04Don't forget that.
07:05We've got to cover both auctions or Mr. Turnbull's going to be looking for new personnel.
07:08And we don't want that, do we?
07:14We don't want that, do we?
07:26We don't want that, do we?
07:26We don't want that, do we?
07:26We don't want that, do we?
07:30We don't want that, do we?
07:39We've only got a couple of minutes, come on.
07:41I'm not coming, Rob.
07:43What'd you say?
07:43I know, I know, I know, I did.
07:44I'm sorry.
07:45I'll explain everything later.
07:47You promised.
07:47I didn't, Rob.
07:48I said I'd do it as a favour.
07:50There were no promises.
07:51You're letting us all down.
07:52I'm letting you down.
07:54Oh, God, you've got a nerve.
07:57Look, I'll say I'm sorry when I see them, OK?
07:59I've got to go.
08:01Jan!
08:08I'll ask you.
08:20You've got to bother.
08:23I just want a bit more notice next time.
08:25You see, I'm Australians. They don't think people have private lives.
08:30Yeah.
08:42I don't know anything about tables.
08:44You don't have to. You go up to 11,000, then stop.
08:4911,000 pounds for a table?
08:53I'll pick you up at 3.30.
09:00This is your last chance. Have you both made up your minds about this?
09:04Yes.
09:05No.
09:06I mean, you expect a bit of fresh air, don't you?
09:09I mean, that's the North Sea out there, but on your honeymoon you're not supposed to notice.
09:13Why not?
09:15We had treacle pud last night.
09:17Oh, it's not good for you, all that stodge.
09:20I bet they've never heard of treacle pud at Bournemouth.
09:23They don't need it in Bournemouth. They've got better things to do.
09:27Yes, at ten quid a time.
09:29Now, listen, hold it, hold it. I've come to fetch you, right?
09:31I'm not going to listen to you two bellyaching all the way back to London.
09:34Got it?
09:49You joining us, boyo? Eh? You're very welcome, Pastor Tainsey.
09:54Er, no, Tara. I've got my mum on the train.
09:57Huh.
10:14Well?
10:15There ain't no Buffy.
10:17The tarn table's got a cup of tea over this train.
10:20Well, talk to the driver. He'll give you a go on his thermos.
10:24Disgusting.
10:26When I was a boy, you brought your own grub.
10:29When you was a boy, they didn't have no roofs on the trains.
10:33Oh, knock it off. We've come home and you've had your way.
10:37And my way? Four days of freezing to death?
10:41Okay, that'll do.
10:43Shh. If you walked about a bit, you wouldn't get some cold.
10:46What? Where am I going to walk to?
10:50You've come to the seaside to be by the sea. Not in a bingo hall.
10:55What bingo hall?
10:57Okay, that'll do. I'm glad Jan didn't come. I'm ashamed of you. You're like a couple of kids.
11:04Well, I've had enough. Me at all.
11:26Your mother can be a very trained woman.
11:32I'm beginning to wonder if we've done the right thing.
11:35Oh, come off here.
11:38Trouble is, we're both setting our ways.
11:42If you hadn't got married, you'd be moping about wondering why.
11:45You've got to make it work, don't you?
11:47It's all right you talking. You've never been married.
11:52Still open, son?
11:55I mean, uh, she'd come back, didn't she?
11:58For one month, yeah.
12:00Yeah.
12:01Well, perhaps you can do something about that.
12:05Yeah.
12:08The offer is still open.
12:10Eh?
12:12Like a game.
12:16Oh, no wist.
12:18How about you?
12:20I'm on me anymore.
12:22Oh.
12:23I can never understand, wist.
12:26Bragg's easier, best hand wins.
12:28I mean, what could be simpler than that, isn't it?
12:31I can't afford to lose more than a couple.
12:33Who can?
12:41I don't have to look at these, do I?
12:42Right.
12:43Oh, you could be a polite.
12:46Right.
12:48Who starts?
12:49I do.
12:50Ten, please.
12:57I'll raise your ten.
13:00Oh, bloody hell.
13:03Oh, what the hell?
13:08It's just you and Lenny, son.
13:10Yeah.
13:18What are you, uh?
13:19You have to bet double if you've looked.
13:21Oh, yeah, I remember now, yeah.
13:23Yeah.
13:28Oh, look at her.
13:31Speaking as loud.
13:32I think I've played this before.
13:34It's all coming back to me now.
13:38I've seen you somewhere, haven't I?
13:40Could be if I get around a bit.
13:52Shouldn't he shuffle?
13:54Uh, not in Bragg, are you?
13:59Twenty.
14:00Eight.
14:04Raise ten.
14:07No, the bet's thirty.
14:10Oh, sorry.
14:12What, raise?
14:14Sorry?
14:15No, you can raise if you want to.
14:17Double if you want to.
14:18No, I'll just stick with the thirty.
14:20Wise decision.
14:27What's that, a Maggie?
14:29Got the feeling.
14:31So it's going to cost me two to have a look.
14:33To look and play.
14:34One if you stay blind.
14:44I thought I could look.
14:46Not after I bet.
14:48Next time round, eh?
14:54Four open.
14:59Pull the other one, mate.
15:00Two blinds.
15:02He's a bloody liar, that Lenny.
15:05Can I look now?
15:07No, not now, boy.
15:08But I paid to look last time.
15:10Oh, it'll cost you four now.
15:13If you want my advice, stay two blind.
15:15Five.
15:18Oh, smashing crib, huh?
15:29He's going to see what young Lenny's made of.
15:34Eight.
15:35Aye, suss to you, Lenny Mark!
15:38So I have to pull up what?
15:40Eight.
15:40Eight.
15:42Or fold.
15:59I told you, he's got nothing.
16:11I'll have a look.
16:13That's going to cost you eight notes.
16:29Good hand.
16:33Little flush.
16:35I thought you had me.
16:36Ha, ha, ha, ha.
16:43You all right?
16:45It's not playing you up, is it?
16:50He's got a condition.
16:57What are you doing?
16:59What are you doing?
16:59Be ill.
17:00Here, let me loosen your tie.
17:01How are you feeling now?
17:04Oh.
17:06Palpitations.
17:06I shouldn't think that you come out.
17:08The quack's going to kill me.
17:10It's your call, boy.
17:11Leave me out of this one, will you?
17:13Leave you out?
17:14We've just dealt.
17:14The old boy's having a turn.
17:16It looks all right to me.
17:17What are you, art surgeon or something?
17:19You can't just walk out and look in.
17:21You've got my money.
17:24I don't think you heard me, boy.
17:26You've got my money in your pocket.
17:28I'm not a bloody charity.
17:29Open the door, will you?
17:32The old woman's got his pills in her bag.
17:37What, you want a corpse on your ass or something?
17:51It's off the game.
18:03I don't know.
18:19All done, is it?
18:20Yeah, about an hour ago.
18:21Oh, sorry I'm late.
18:23How'd it go, then?
18:25What happened?
18:27Well, I went up to 12,000.
18:29Eh?
18:30It went for 14,500.
18:3214,500?
18:33You're joking.
18:34It's some fella.
18:36Looked as if he'd come on his horse.
18:38He wasn't a dealer.
18:39Bloody public, they're killing this business.
18:41Turnbull's gonna go potty.
18:42You should've kept with him.
18:43You told me.
18:45Yeah, I know, I know.
18:46You've got a bit to learn yet, girl.
19:03And make farm workers ill.
19:05He's asking the courts to ban government officials from this land if they insist on treating his animals with the
19:11new medicines which he believes could be dangerous.
19:16And finally, scientists in a laboratory in Russia are studying what they believe are the oldest living creatures in the
19:23world.
19:24Tiny organisms called microbes, which are so small they can't be seen without a microscope.
19:30They're thought to be about 12,000 years old.
19:33Scientists found them frozen in ice in Antarctica.
19:35So they melted the ice and woke up the microbes.
19:41Not another collection.
19:43Mr. Box.
19:44Sorry?
19:45They told me you were staying here.
19:48I wonder if he could...
19:50No, I'm just fixing the telly.
19:53I wouldn't be staying here much, would I?
19:56If you see him, could you tell him Mrs. Banks called?
20:00I'd like him to telephone me.
20:01It's very important.
20:03I'd like you to give him this.
20:06Yes, that would be very important.
20:17Hello!
20:18And we're all ready for real big news because dear old Goody is seven years old today
20:23and we're celebrating with all her cards.
20:25We've filled the studio with them and her presents.
20:27I'll get a bit of surprise as well a little bit later on.
20:29And there's more cards arriving by every post.
20:32And I'm sure she's playing with all...
20:57How well do you know the Turnbulls?
20:59I know Jonathan.
21:01But I've only met Jake a few times.
21:03He's the brains, the old man.
21:05Whiskey and water?
21:07It's a bit early in the day for scotch.
21:09Oh, don't give me that.
21:11The thing about a fella like Jake is he expects to be ripped off.
21:15Anything between five and ten percent.
21:18More and he gets stroppy.
21:20Less and he thinks you're fiddling him behind his back.
21:23So how do you make your seven and a half percent?
21:26You don't say exactly what you pay for the goods.
21:28You leave a little margin.
21:30You can't get away with that.
21:31Apart from anything else, he signs the cheques.
21:33Loading, darling.
21:34Costs over and above.
21:37The auctioneers.
21:38A lot of them won't touch it.
21:39And they're above that sort of thing.
21:41But there's plenty of wealth.
21:43You mean bribery?
21:44If that's what you want to call it.
21:47An auctioneer can keep the bidding going.
21:49Milking it.
21:50Wall bids.
21:51That frightens your public off.
21:53Or he can stop the whole thing stone dead at your bid.
21:56But either way, he's got to be paid.
21:58Jake makes an allowance for that.
21:59You do your sums right.
22:01And that's your seven and a half percent.
22:03But what about the sellers?
22:04They're getting ripped off.
22:06Darling, if you're selling something valuable at an auction,
22:09be there.
22:10That's rule one.
22:11Protect your own interests.
22:13Because if you don't...
22:14That's a sort of robbery.
22:15Everything in life is a sort of robbery.
22:17Paying your bills late.
22:19That's robbery.
22:22Just ask yourself one question.
22:24Do you want to be a winner?
22:28Of course you do.
22:29So let me give you a few words of wisdom.
22:32Don't rip your friends off.
22:34Enjoy yourself.
22:36Misery slows you down.
22:37And work.
22:38Doesn't matter what I have.
22:39But keep it all going.
22:41Now then, do you want a good dinner?
22:43And then back here for cocoa?
22:47No, perhaps not.
22:48Another time.
22:49But I want you here tomorrow.
22:51You don't hang about, do you?
22:53No.
22:56Who was that fella at the station?
22:59Just a fella.
23:01Winner, is he?
23:04Sometimes.
23:27It stinks, this place.
23:30It does, you know. It pulls. It pulls.
23:34The regulars don't even notice.
23:35Just like home to them, innit?
23:48Just like home to them, innit?
23:55A pint, you fluff it.
23:57You're wrong, son. You're wrong.
24:01Sure.
24:02Look at the dirt on that ball.
24:05Okay.
24:10Do you want a double?
24:10Do you want a double?
24:11Do you want a double?
24:12Do you want a double?
24:14Do you want a double?
24:15Do you want a double?
24:15Top of my mind, Christine, will you?
24:16To beat you again?
24:18What do you mean, again?
24:18Get your money out.
24:19Go on.
24:21Here.
24:21You fancy a curry?
24:22Yeah.
24:23When?
24:24Whenever you like.
24:25I can't tomorrow. I'm working.
24:26Tuesday?
24:27Yeah.
24:28Great.
24:29How's life then, mate? All right?
24:31You got a cheek.
24:33Can't afford to work.
24:35Yeah.
24:38Can't afford not to.
24:40Know what you mean?
24:44Funny thing.
24:46Money.
24:48Hilarious, eh?
24:52You ought to buy that by the half pint.
24:56All right, Rob.
24:58Yeah.
25:06Here you go.
25:08It's all.
25:11He must have a liver like an old mattress.
25:16Yeah.
25:22You in love or something?
25:27Mind you, she is the only thing worth looking at.
25:31Yeah.
25:34Are you and her serious?
25:38Serious?
25:38Yeah.
25:41She's all right, is Chris?
25:43I'll tell you a word for it.
25:50Yeah.
25:50I don't believe it.
25:52Eh?
25:53That's where I've seen him.
25:55Here.
25:56For Di Phillips.
25:58You must have known that.
26:00This is his club.
26:02On the train.
26:03The old brat trick.
26:05He's been working the trains for years.
26:08He didn't take you, did he?
26:10Yeah.
26:10You're joking, aren't you?
26:11You're still buying me beer.
26:14Here.
26:15What?
26:15He's coming over.
26:17I never forget a fierce, even if I can't see it.
26:21Well, stoner crows.
26:22I didn't catch the name.
26:25Box.
26:25Robbie Box.
26:27I don't believe you're a member here, Mr. Box.
26:29Er, he's my guest.
26:31But you'll be wanting to join, of course.
26:33I will?
26:35I mean, I don't have to tell you what the entrance fee is, do I?
26:37Then we can start again with a clean slate.
26:39All right, I'll think about it.
26:40Meanwhile, I wouldn't say no to a drink, for old time's sake.
26:44We was just going.
26:45You're always just going, aren't you, Mr. Box?
26:47A lot of the time, yeah.
26:48Yeah.
26:49And how was the old fella?
26:50What old fella?
26:51Old Tommy!
26:52No, he was all right after a sit down.
26:54Yeah, I thought he would be.
26:55I had very high hopes for his recovery.
27:02You made a friend for life there, son.
27:05He's a loser.
27:06You reckon?
27:07No.
27:08Still knocked about losing ten quid in a brag game.
27:11That's a loser.
27:13You'll be reckoning.
27:14Of course, yeah.
27:16Could be a good investment.
27:17Go on, drink, have it.
27:42Oh, my God.
27:46Come on, son.
27:51I suppose I shall get the blame.
27:57You've done it this time, boy.
27:59You worthless, twunken slob.
28:02Leave it out, Taffy.
28:03And don't call me Taffy.
28:06Who's going to pay for all this?
28:07He's paid for that lot 500 times.
28:10Who's going to clear it up?
28:11Well, that's down to the management, innit?
28:16I think everything's going to be all right.
28:41Come on, little Archie.
28:42Let's be having you.
28:43Let's get you up.
28:44Come on, I pick up.
28:45That's it.
28:46Get the car off.
28:48The last drink you have here, boy.
28:49You're a real good loser, ain't you, Taffy?
28:57Come on.
29:04Where's your key, Arthur?
29:05It's open.
29:13Give us your coat then, son.
29:15That's it.
29:17We are home now, mate.
29:20Thanks very much.
29:22Do you want anything, Arthur?
29:24A short sleep.
29:26Everything's going to be fine.
29:29Dick, you go on home.
29:30I'll hang on here for a bit.
29:32Why?
29:32Well, I can't go back to Tommy's.
29:34That tax bird's going to be lurking around at you.
29:36Your lucky night, eh?
29:37Yeah, Tom.
29:38I'll see you.
29:41You awake?
29:43Certainly.
29:44I'll kick down here, okay?
29:47Anything you like.
29:49Consider the place you're on.
29:52You're very kind, Arthur.
30:05No, I'm not.
30:08What?
30:09You're very kind.
30:11I could have had bother getting on tonight.
30:16I shan't forget.
30:18Go to sleep, Arthur.
30:27There we go.
30:29And if it drips, you bring it back, darling.
30:31Hello.
30:41Tom, where have you been?
30:43Doing my good deed for the night.
30:45Any tea going?
30:46You on a bar of soap, not tea.
30:49Where's Jane?
30:50She ain't here.
30:52Expecting her?
30:54You never know these days.
30:56Not since Mr. Grover turned up.
30:59Who?
31:00A fella called Grover.
31:02Does a lot of business with Jan.
31:06I saw her business.
31:08Why ask me?
31:09She?
31:10She's the one you should be talking to.
31:12It's her life.
31:14Hmph.
31:15Did you ever take the trouble to find out what she's feeling, how she is?
31:18Oh, Robbie.
31:20She'd have made you a lovely wife, but no.
31:23You can't see no further than the other side of a card table.
31:26I reckon she'd only come over here to see if you'd changed your ways.
31:30And if she goes back, it's cheerio Robbie forever.
31:37Okay, okay.
31:38You want my advice?
31:41Oh, what's the use? You never listen to no one.
31:43I'm listening. I'm listening.
31:45Well, he's seen a lot of her.
31:47He's taken her up Queensway.
31:49A viewing or something.
31:51But I said nothing, you understand?
31:53I want nothing to do with it.
31:56Well.
31:58Okay.
32:01I suppose I could do with a bit of a shave.
32:03I'll see you.
32:14This cup of tea, will you?
32:24Hey, Princess.
32:27Do you want a cup of coffee?
32:33A cup of coffee, please.
32:39Been up all night?
32:41You do a fellow good, son.
32:43Or you get Zagra.
32:45You look rough.
32:47I'm beginning to get the message, eh?
32:51Yeah.
32:51Hold her.
32:57How?
33:05How's Grover?
33:07Grover?
33:08Yeah, Grover.
33:10He's all right, I suppose.
33:12Useful fellow to know, is he?
33:15Well, he's a dealer.
33:16What are you getting at?
33:19What's he getting at?
33:21I don't know what you're talking about.
33:23I'd like to meet him.
33:26Well, don't you fancy the idea?
33:29Well, come on. I mean, tell me about him.
33:33There's nothing to tell.
33:34What do you think with all the dealers, is it just Grover?
33:39Look, I said that there's nothing to...
33:41What is this, classified information or something?
33:44All right, don't bother. No, I'll...
33:46It's all right, I'll work it out for myself.
33:51I'll see you around, will I?
34:20Good morning, Robbie.
34:23What happened?
34:25It was a disgrace. I felt ashamed.
34:29Well, it's your room, innit?
34:32One's home is a reflection of oneself.
34:36Is that right?
34:40It's all going to change.
34:43Things will be different from now on.
34:46What do you mean, the booze?
34:49Well, it can't stop entirely, but...
34:52I'll put it right down.
34:53Very wise decision, believe me, I know.
34:57Yes, I just couldn't go on like that.
35:00Can I have a go with your razor? I left my stuff at Thomas.
35:03Yes, show it up yourself.
35:09I can be a very nasty character.
35:15You stood up to him.
35:18I may only have been half conscious, but...
35:21I remember.
35:23We brought you home, that's all.
35:25No, I made an idiot of myself.
35:27Leave it out, Arthur. We all get elephants, don't we?
35:33We're going to work again.
35:34Great.
35:36I'll be able to start with.
35:39Those fixers can be real bastards.
35:41But I'll show them.
35:44You do that, son.
35:48Then some real money.
35:49Get out of this...
35:51this tip.
35:55Oh, and Robbie,
35:57if ever there's anything I can do for you,
35:59anything at all,
36:01you've only got to ask.
36:07Pack it in, Arthur, eh?
36:11There won't be a lot here.
36:13Very professional.
36:14You mean apart from you and me?
36:23Oh, it's a bloody jumble sale this week.
36:26Canteen furniture.
36:40What would you give for that?
36:42Well, you can never sell these, can you?
36:44I mean...
36:45I mean...
36:45What would you give for that?
36:45Not even if they're goers?
36:46See where it's made?
36:48USA.
36:49Before the First World War, and I can sell it.
36:51What, you know a collector?
36:53I've got to, haven't I?
36:55What would you give for it, then?
36:56No, what would you give for it?
36:58Afterwards I'll sell it on for you and we'll go halves.
37:01Sounds like a bargain, Princess.
37:04Robert?
37:06Is that Grover?
37:07Who are you?
37:10A very old friend of the family.
37:11Huh.
37:13Oh, um...
37:14The next time that Jan wants to go somewhere,
37:17she'll be getting a cab or a bus or walking.
37:19She won't be needing your taxi service anymore.
37:21Do you get it?
37:22Robbie?
37:22Are you drunk or something?
37:23No, I'm stone cold sober.
37:25But if I see you round Jan again,
37:26you're gonna need more than a drink.
37:28Alright?
37:35For God's sake, have you gone bloody mad?
37:38He's just a chancer.
37:40What do you think he's round you for?
37:41What the hell's it got to do with you?
37:44What?
37:45What I do is my business.
37:47He's probably got a wife and six kids somewhere.
37:49You're just a bird of the week.
37:50Listen, I come and I go as I please,
37:53with whoever I please.
37:55You've got no say in my life anymore.
37:58And you'd better get used to it.
38:27Is there something wrong with your ears and all?
38:29I thought I told you to keep out of here.
38:36I don't want you on my premises.
38:38You are a liability.
38:44It says on here that I'm a bona fide member of the Dragon Club.
38:50Fully paid up until December the 31st.
38:53Under the terms of your license, you're obliged to serve me.
38:56You've got a nerve.
39:03I'm going to give you one more chance, Boyle.
39:09Just one more.
39:11Orange juice, please.
39:21With ice.
39:25You never did understand women.
39:28Look at the run around you gave Jan.
39:30That's all water under the bridge.
39:33So why is she knocking about with this grover?
39:35It's not her, it's him.
39:37You sure?
39:37Yeah, I'm sure.
39:40So what are you going to do about it?
39:41Sort it out.
39:42There's got to be a way.
39:50Oh, Stroop, look at that.
39:52Where's my camera?
39:53What you got lurking in there?
39:54Something evil?
39:55No.
39:56Across my heart.
39:56What is it?
39:57Orange juice.
39:58Good.
40:00This place is getting like a Salvation Army hostel.
40:03I'll be today.
40:05Half a lager and a scotch, please, Diane.
40:10I've got your membership card made up, Mr. Box.
40:13All I need is the fee.
40:15Well, I haven't decided yet, have I?
40:17You're still my guest.
40:18Here, where's Chris tonight?
40:19She's not here, is she?
40:22Would you get me work?
40:23I'm seeing a man tomorrow.
40:25Oh, good, good.
40:26Playing in a boozer.
40:28Better than a brewery.
40:32Well, at least you've got a skill, ain't ya?
40:34If you can just keep off the liquor, you'll be back in the money.
40:36Yeah.
40:38It's all about time, innit?
40:40What are you worried about time for?
40:42You got more time than anybody I know.
40:44Thanks, Diane.
40:47I've got about two weeks.
40:50And after that, I want to mention another story.
40:53I've got Grover.
40:57Smart house.
41:00Mew's house, Sussex Gardens.
41:02Big AM outside.
41:04I was supposed to do a bunch of the bloody tyres.
41:06What, and Diane don't fancy him?
41:08Of course he doesn't.
41:10Now, without Grover, life would be a lot easier.
41:20I've been hearing things about you, Mr Box.
41:23Oh, nice.
41:24Yeah, very nice.
41:25Just a whist player, eh?
41:29Um...
41:30Not just a whist player, no.
41:32Poor gambler.
41:34Taking our money.
41:35Making that you're a beginner, all green and innocent.
41:38What about you and your friends, Mr Phillips?
41:41Very naughty.
41:43Can I see a quick one down the railway?
41:44Yeah.
41:45We'll talk about trains.
41:46Chapters.
42:03I think I'll have a small vodka in there.
42:07Just this once, of course.
42:10Of course, Arthur.
42:27Jan?
42:29How are you doing?
42:31I just had a call from Sydney.
42:34Yeah, they get up early there.
42:48Yeah.
42:49Next Tuesday.
42:50Early Georgian, in fair nick.
42:53Walnut case, spotless.
42:58Well, Jake reckons about five, but you could go up a bit.
43:02Hang on, there's someone at the door.
43:04Eh, don't go away.
43:10Yeah?
43:11Dragon deliveries.
43:12I've got a package for the Mr Grover.
43:15Uh, come in. I'll be right down.
43:28Are you Grover?
43:29Yeah.
43:30I've got a message for you.
43:31What message?
43:32From Robbie Box.
43:34He's a bit tired of you, Mr Grover.
43:36He doesn't want you getting in his way, hanging around Jan.
43:39And he's dead serious.
43:42Do you know what I'm getting at?
43:44Yeah.
43:47Perhaps you'd like to take a message back to Robbie from me.
43:50Oh, what message?
43:53Tell Mr Box if he's got anything to say, he can say it to me himself face to face, not
43:57send his father.
43:59Never step out of your class, shunt, and say you'd get hurt.
44:03Oh, Lord.
44:05Oh, I'm sorry.
44:08Ah.
44:14Oh.
44:16Oh, my God.
