00:00:47I'll see you later.
00:00:51Here's the new boy, Bob.
00:00:52Smart boy, he looks.
00:00:54Name's Beaton. Is that right, lad? Norman Beaton?
00:00:57That's right, Mr. Skinner.
00:00:58This is Mr. Darnley, the foreman.
00:01:00Boys call you Norrie, huh?
00:01:02Well, I suppose that's what they'll call you in here.
00:01:05Show them the job, Bob.
00:01:06I'll ring down for you in a wee while.
00:01:08Couple of items I want to show you.
00:01:10Stick in, boy. You'll do fine.
00:01:12Good effort today, the rest of you lads.
00:01:17Well, see, this Monday morning, eh?
00:01:19I'll ring down for you, Bob.
00:01:20I'll be up and doing these stairs like a bloody yo-yo.
00:01:22I can feel it in my water.
00:01:24Well, young Norrie, do you know what bevel it is?
00:01:26No?
00:01:27It's all over the bloody place.
00:01:29They're not one in a million would recognise it.
00:01:31You know, guess.
00:01:32To do with glass, ain't it?
00:01:33Oh, nah.
00:01:34They're a mile-a-way's eyes open, eh?
00:01:36Could run to your shop with the stuff stacked to its edges
00:01:38and says it's to do with glass.
00:01:40Come here, son.
00:01:41I'll show you this.
00:01:42Hey, watch up, young'un.
00:01:43He might show you the glass first and the golden rivet.
00:01:45Nah, hold your tongue, Roger.
00:01:47Now, Norrie, you see that kind of border
00:01:49about round the glass there?
00:01:51Well, that is a bevel.
00:01:52And is that what I'll be learning?
00:01:53The beveling?
00:01:54No, right away, no.
00:01:56Well, you start at the feeding up first.
00:01:57Get off your jack.
00:01:58Hey, Joe.
00:01:59This is Norrie Beaton.
00:02:01He's got the feeding up.
00:02:01Get him in here.
00:02:03Well, Crosby's the second name.
00:02:05How are you?
00:02:06Well, better now I'm off the feeding up.
00:02:07I've got the boy a bad impression.
00:02:08Feeding up's not a bad job.
00:02:10It's an easy job.
00:02:11One you must learn before you start beveling.
00:02:13Ah, what are you saying yourself?
00:02:14Ah, well, show him how to mix the pumice.
00:02:16Not too thick, not too thin.
00:02:18Then show him how to make the brush.
00:02:19Aye, OK.
00:02:20Over to the bench here.
00:02:22Hey, what did you say this boy's name was?
00:02:24Aye, Beaton.
00:02:25Norman Beaton.
00:02:26Hey, it's a kind of film star's name, that, ain't it?
00:02:28Ah, it's a Tuchter name, I would say.
00:02:30Is that right, eh?
00:02:31It's a Tuchter name of yours, ain't it?
00:02:33What?
00:02:34Tuchter.
00:02:34Tuchter.
00:02:35Do you not know what Tuchter is?
00:02:36No.
00:02:37This is a very dim youth.
00:02:39Well, you'll learn something here, I'll tell you.
00:02:41Here that, Charlie.
00:02:42He's never heard of a Tuchter.
00:02:44Innocent, eh?
00:02:44Do I.
00:02:45You'll soon loss it.
00:02:47Clear and press, 180.
00:02:50Tickle, tickle.
00:02:51What have I told you about that before, Roger?
00:02:53One of these times I'll hoist you by the bollocks
00:02:55and chip you out of the mill.
00:02:56Easy, easy.
00:02:57It's just a bit of fun.
00:02:58Maybe it's a small tournament you'd like then, eh?
00:03:00Just you and me.
00:03:01There's the bar in the flare there.
00:03:02120 pounds right up, eh?
00:03:04Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:03:06That's your game, the lifter, ain't it?
00:03:07You're on a cert.
00:03:09Now, you come out the road with me on a bike sometime
00:03:11and I'll show you a fast wheel.
00:03:12I'll leave you gasping on the highway.
00:03:13Never mind the cycle talk.
00:03:15There's the bar.
00:03:16Ten snatches.
00:03:17What do you say?
00:03:17I'll snatch your drawers.
00:03:18Come on, you're a couple of wings, the penny.
00:03:20Good effort now of the day, as Leslie says.
00:03:22Too much chagging the dog in here lately.
00:03:28Don't let the roodger upset you, son.
00:03:30He might try something on me, but don't be frightened.
00:03:33He's full of crap, him.
00:03:34Just tell him to come and see me at the mill there.
00:03:36I'll put a half-inch bevel on his tail for him.
00:03:39Mind now.
00:03:44Is it always like this?
00:03:46It's worse sometimes.
00:03:48The bevelers are all mad, you know.
00:03:50See, Peter there.
00:03:52He couldn't blow a feather off his nose without taking a riger.
00:03:55A what?
00:03:55A fit.
00:03:56Takes fits, you know.
00:03:58He works with glass and he takes fits.
00:04:00He wanted to let him carry on.
00:04:01No choice.
00:04:02Can't get men like him nowadays.
00:04:03Is he good?
00:04:04The best.
00:04:06Yeah, yeah, I feel that.
00:04:07That's about right.
00:04:08Okay.
00:04:09Right, the brush.
00:04:11A handful of straw here and some string.
00:04:14It's easy.
00:04:15That's a funny name, that roodger, isn't it?
00:04:18It's not his name.
00:04:19His right name's Dan Matcha.
00:04:21We call him roodger because he works with a rouge.
00:04:23See, Peter puts the bevel on at the mill there,
00:04:27grinds it on with a hard wheel, the carborundum.
00:04:30Then he puts it on the sander.
00:04:31Well, that's a slightly softer wheel.
00:04:33After that comes the polishing.
00:04:35Well, that's Bob's job here.
00:04:36Then it goes to the rouge and that puts a gloss on it.
00:04:42Ooh, that's a hell of a noise.
00:04:44Aye, you'll get used to it.
00:04:45Are you ready yet, John?
00:04:47Oh, just a couple of shakes, Bob.
00:04:50Is that a real weightlifting thing over there?
00:04:52Oh, aye, that's Charlie's.
00:04:54Practices way to dinner to him sometimes.
00:04:57He put the breeze up the big fella, didn't he?
00:04:59Aye, he doesn't like folk taking him down.
00:05:01Winches this dame that works up next door in the printing works.
00:05:04A bit touchy about that, eh?
00:05:06That's it, Bob.
00:05:07All right, son.
00:05:10Put the brush in the pumice, feed it up on the top when I'm using the surface
00:05:14and feed it in the grooves when I'm doing the eddies.
00:05:17Try some now. Easy.
00:05:20Oh, no, no, no, no, eh?
00:05:23Not so hard, eh? Not so much pumice.
00:05:25I've got to be able to see you do this job, eh?
00:05:28All right, try to get easier.
00:05:32Oh, that's better, that's better.
00:05:35Just put some on when you think it needs it.
00:05:39That's my job, then, just sitting here dabbing the brush.
00:05:43Refer to it as feeding up from now on.
00:05:46By everything else, you've got to start at the beginning.
00:05:49It's amazing how much you pick up when you think you're idling.
00:05:51I was feeding up when I was 14.
00:05:53Sometimes I think I haven't learnt it all yet.
00:05:56This is a craft, you know, not just a common trade.
00:05:58One of the few, one of the oldest.
00:06:02Is this your first job?
00:06:04Aye.
00:06:05You're able to bring your mother a couple of pounds at the end of the week now, eh?
00:06:08No.
00:06:09You're going to keep it all to yourself?
00:06:10No, I didn't mean that.
00:06:12My mother's deep.
00:06:13She died when I was 14, two years ago.
00:06:16Is that a fact?
00:06:17Your father's still living?
00:06:18Oh, aye.
00:06:19There's my dad, my sister and me.
00:06:20Oh, and your sister looks after you like, eh?
00:06:22Aye, she's got a job as well.
00:06:23Oh, you'll be quite a well-doing wee family, then, eh?
00:06:26No bad.
00:06:28What's your favourite day?
00:06:29Docker.
00:06:30Ah, good job, good job.
00:06:33Should've been, eh, been quite young, your mother, when she died, eh?
00:06:37Eh, 44, I think.
00:06:39Ah, that's young, that's young.
00:06:41Must've been Sud.
00:06:42Aye, it was during the school holidays I was.
00:06:45I wakened up one morning, there was this noise in the kitchen.
00:06:47A lot of voices.
00:06:49I went through, but it wouldn't even let me in.
00:06:52Just saw her lying in a chair, and that was that.
00:06:55Didn't mean to make you a greeting out?
00:06:56Oh, I'm no greeting.
00:06:57It's a long time to hear.
00:06:59Ah, a long time for a boy to be without his old lady.
00:07:02Hey, you hear that news, fellas?
00:07:04Young fly here's been telling me about his old wife dying, and he's no greeting.
00:07:07Not much wrong with a boy that can do that, eh?
00:07:09What's that?
00:07:10Who's dying?
00:07:11Who's deed?
00:07:11He's not his old lady.
00:07:12He was just at school at the time.
00:07:14Oh, my Jesus.
00:07:16Eh, what was met with her?
00:07:18Heart attack.
00:07:19Eh, tough luck.
00:07:21Eh, Bob, there's a wee bit of fire on this side here.
00:07:26I see it.
00:07:27Eh, that'll give it a touch.
00:07:30Right, Norey.
00:07:32Just you give that brush the least wee sensation on the wheel then.
00:07:38Eh, is that the only time your mother was ever sick?
00:07:41No, eh, she was sick once before.
00:07:42A couple of years before she died.
00:07:44Hospital, was she?
00:07:45No, no.
00:07:46Couldn't have been too bad then, was she?
00:07:48No, she was bad.
00:07:50It was in the middle of the night and she suddenly got these terrible pains.
00:07:53She was moaning, nearly screaming.
00:07:55And I had to go to the police station for them to call her doctor.
00:07:58Ah, what time of night was that then, eh?
00:07:59Eh, half past two.
00:08:01Three o'clock.
00:08:01Was she all right after that?
00:08:03Aye, a while left to the doctor.
00:08:05Where did you see her?
00:08:06You're a hell of a nosy.
00:08:08What do you want to know for?
00:08:09Nothing.
00:08:09Just asking.
00:08:11Hey, you must only have been about 11 years old then.
00:08:14Oh, what's wrong with a boy that'll go for a doctor for his old lady?
00:08:16Half past three in the morning.
00:08:18Him only 11 year old, eh?
00:08:20Your big sister, no go, ain't you?
00:08:22She was bubbling.
00:08:23She couldn't go.
00:08:23You got a sister?
00:08:24Hey, tell her I'll take her out some night.
00:08:26Aye, lightly.
00:08:29Is that your bike over there?
00:08:30Yes.
00:08:32Nice machine, ain't it?
00:08:33That's all right.
00:08:34You'd like to get your leg over it.
00:08:36I wouldn't mind.
00:08:36Leg over your sister?
00:08:38She wouldn't be peeing you if you were in fire.
00:08:42Now I'll remember that.
00:08:43All right, that should do it.
00:08:44Just blend it in nice and easy.
00:08:45That should be all right.
00:08:48Ah, stupid, that time's started, Norrie.
00:08:51You ever see one of them monkeys in a string, eh?
00:08:54That's what he thinks I am.
00:08:56You've got to take the apron off every time you go up the still.
00:08:59In case there's some concheterified, bloody idiot in the office.
00:09:04Hey, Norrie, son.
00:09:05Is that your name?
00:09:06I can be the one here.
00:09:08See this brush?
00:09:09Put it out your right shoulder.
00:09:11That hand under there and that heel down there.
00:09:13There's a good boy.
00:09:14You just should stand at that for a wee one.
00:09:16If you feel like it, have a wee about turn every so often.
00:09:18But if anybody comes, shout, beware the amber bead.
00:09:31What the hell are you doing standing there, you bloody idiot?
00:09:35Put that thing down.
00:09:37Come over here and I'll show you something.
00:09:39Something that came out of the ark.
00:09:42Man, as for you Peter Laidlaw, you should have more sense.
00:09:44Don't the bloody crocodile catch you.
00:09:46I'm sorry, Bo.
00:09:47Don't be sorry.
00:09:48Be sensible.
00:09:49Hey, Joe, here.
00:09:51I want you to show the young fly here how to dismantle this old mirror.
00:09:54But go easy, wait.
00:09:55Anything happens to it?
00:09:57There's the old bastard cake.
00:09:58Oh, is it worth them?
00:09:59Well, to you and me, it wouldn't be worth a pump,
00:10:01but to the old cow that brought it in, it's the light of the world.
00:10:05Anyhow, she wants it touched up and re-silvered.
00:10:07I'm sure it's no other one that's touched up and re-silvered.
00:10:12I'll feed up to the boys ready.
00:10:13Do you think he's very old?
00:10:16Well, it'll be older than you and me put together, I'll tell you that.
00:10:19Might even be an antique, eh?
00:10:28There we are, Bob, that's it.
00:10:30All right, just hold on here.
00:10:31Finish your side.
00:10:32Hey, Joe, look at this old paper that come out the back.
00:10:34That's it. The Evening Times, October the 14th, 1921.
00:10:38A bit chipped on the sides here, Bob.
00:10:40Mm.
00:10:41Nah.
00:10:42Peter, come here.
00:10:43You too, Roger.
00:10:46For Dice's annual sale.
00:10:48Women's stockings.
00:10:49One in six was a dozen.
00:10:51Hey, Roger, look at this old paper that come out the back of the mirror.
00:10:54It's ancient history.
00:10:55Eh, it's junk.
00:10:57Easy, easy. I want to read that paper.
00:10:59I think we'll stand the least wee touch of the grinder, Peter.
00:11:01No, never. It would shatter instantly.
00:11:02Ah, we're up with a blocking stone, then.
00:11:04Ah, well, now, that might do it.
00:11:06But we'll have to go dead easy, we all the same.
00:11:08We'll all have to go very careful, with it.
00:11:10Hear that, Roger. Hear that, Charlie.
00:11:13Ah, in the name of the lantern!
00:11:15Have you no sense?
00:11:17Here I am telling everybody to keep the head with this old merchandise
00:11:20and you're flinging tonne weights all over the place.
00:11:22It's blah-horrible, so it is.
00:11:24Diabastic and blah-horrible.
00:11:25Must keep the strength up, Bob.
00:11:26Much strength that it take to lift three feet a quarter-inch plate.
00:11:29What are the strength of yours? What are you going to do with it?
00:11:31Use it! When the time comes!
00:11:33Well, like half past ten at night with your lumbering Nancy up the high road, eh?
00:11:37Oh, you don't need to blush, Charlie.
00:11:38We all know you're a bit short of strength in the right place.
00:11:40Not at all. I've got it when the time comes.
00:11:43Aye, you've got it all right.
00:11:44But where are you hiding it?
00:11:45Now, be quiet, you, and pay attention,
00:11:46you're a bloody mixer, Ruger.
00:11:48Think you were born with a needle up your arse.
00:11:51I've got to decide the best way to tackle this job.
00:11:53I'll settle that for you, Bob.
00:11:54How? I'll just drab it.
00:11:55You are like hell, Peter. Don't use stuff.
00:11:58Enough kiddin' in here for one morning.
00:12:00He might drab it anyway.
00:12:03Ah, what's he want, don't you?
00:12:10What do you mean here, Ruger?
00:12:12Mean about what?
00:12:12You said I might drab that anyway.
00:12:14Aye, so you might. So did anybody.
00:12:16Well, that's not what you meant me special, didn't you?
00:12:18Oh, so you know me better than I do myself, then?
00:12:20Aye, I know you for a big-mouthed, dying get.
00:12:22You better watch it.
00:12:23You'll be foaming at the mood soon.
00:12:25That's what you meant, eh?
00:12:27I might take a wee turn and drab it.
00:12:28That's what you meant.
00:12:29You couldn't have had your turn in front of the boy here.
00:12:31You had to let him know.
00:12:32It's you that's letting him know.
00:12:34Whatever he says, son.
00:12:35It's no epilepsy.
00:12:37It's no epilepsy.
00:12:39I take a wee tightness in my throat every so.
00:12:42You know, a kind of constriction.
00:12:44It looks bad, but it's no malignant.
00:12:46So if that big lousy squeezed up potseye
00:12:49I'd tell you anything different.
00:12:50You're known for a five-star bastard liar.
00:12:52You might get your go sooner than you think.
00:12:54Oh, you have seen me going on
00:12:56rear dabber nethy bloody biscuit.
00:12:58You common-school road-faced sonomistic piggy.
00:13:03Away you go, Peter.
00:13:04Let go of the grip, Charlie.
00:13:06Try and get away.
00:13:06Look, this is between him and me.
00:13:08What's in my mind between me and you?
00:13:09Oh, the strength kick again, is that it?
00:13:11That's it?
00:13:12Well, while you're at it, try shafting some of you
00:13:14through to you wee Nancy.
00:13:15Ah, Charlie, my hair on!
00:13:17You'll break my hair on!
00:13:18Right.
00:13:19Now, listen, you lift her nine-one smear in here
00:13:22and I'll split you.
00:13:24Take you apart.
00:13:39Now, Joe.
00:13:40Joe, listen to this in this paper.
00:13:42Parents in the Anderson District of Glasgow are invited and encouraged to view the new
00:13:49school to be open soon to accommodate children of school age in the district.
00:13:54The school will be known as Finison Public School.
00:13:57Joe, that's the school I went to.
00:13:59Finison School.
00:14:02How do you think I can keep this paper?
00:14:03I might take it in and show it's my old school teacher.
00:14:06There's yardage.
00:14:06Want to see it?
00:14:07Look, away you go and don't bother me.
00:14:09I have this set to finish off the day.
00:14:11But do you not want to have a look at her?
00:14:12Beat it, I'm tellin' ye.
00:14:13Blow.
00:14:14All right, all right.
00:14:17All right, now all right.
00:14:19Come on, we'll get wired in.
00:14:23Ah, and you's got wired in too.
00:14:25Cannae got to the stir, but you're all school and murder.
00:14:28Right, son, feed up.
00:14:31What's that in your hand, eh?
00:14:33Oh, it's this old paper that come out the mirror.
00:14:35Oh, aye.
00:14:35What year?
00:14:361921.
00:14:39Nae photos in it, I'll bet ye.
00:14:40No, just reading.
00:14:41There's a paragraph about the opening of our school, isn't it?
00:14:44Ah, what school was that then?
00:14:45Finison.
00:14:46Finison.
00:14:46Aye.
00:14:48June Anderson way.
00:14:49Aye, do you know it?
00:14:50No, Cookadden's was where I was brought up.
00:14:55There used to be a barrel in shop doing your wine.
00:14:58You know Elliott Street?
00:14:59Huh?
00:14:59Ah, well down there.
00:15:01Quite unusual, that.
00:15:03Trade was mostly centred up round about the Cookadden's.
00:15:07Lot of Irishmen in it too.
00:15:09Hard men.
00:15:10Hard drinkers, a lot of them.
00:15:13Used to wait for the pub to hear a few jobs come in,
00:15:15then go into the shop when the gaffer sent her.
00:15:17Mayor Thomas now.
00:15:18Now, you see, Norrie,
00:15:19try and get used to knowing when the wheel needs a wee bit more pumice.
00:15:22Don't have me telling you all the time.
00:15:23When the wheel's dry, you can smell the burnin', see?
00:15:26Ah, try some again.
00:15:28Oh, no, Norrie!
00:15:31You had it right there, now you're a way back again, eh?
00:15:34Ah, I think you wouldn't have lasted long in the old days, eh, Norrie?
00:15:39Ah, but you never know, you never know.
00:15:42I think you see a job at one of the old years quite soon.
00:15:45Big job lying through there, and I've got the feeling that Leslie's gonna tell us to drop everything.
00:15:50Get on with it this afternoon.
00:15:52I don't know who first beveled this thing, Bob.
00:15:54I think it must have been old Alec Freer when he was hittin' the wine.
00:15:58He got off the true, eh?
00:15:59Oh, well, it's like the rocky road to Portland, Das, look.
00:16:02See any sign of old Alec Freer these days?
00:16:03No, no for a while, no.
00:16:05The last time I saw him, he couldn't see me.
00:16:07Ah, he'll never get off the deuce.
00:16:09Ah, well, as long as he doesn't come in here, tap and us will be all right.
00:16:12Last time he came in here, he was like a bloody ghost.
00:16:15He was the colour of pumice.
00:16:16Ah, that's the wine for you, Bob, the dad lump.
00:16:18Ah, good trades when he was. Might be dead, for all we know.
00:16:21Ah, he was fading away.
00:16:24Is the feeder up no fineness or monotonous, Joe?
00:16:26Oh, no, a wee bit, not too bad.
00:16:30Is it all right if I can keep this old paper?
00:16:32All right, yeah, well, the paper, just, eh, pay attention.
00:16:35Well, nobody seems to care about it except for me.
00:16:37I mean, it's kind of historical.
00:16:38I was going to take it and show it to my old schoolteacher.
00:16:40Listen, son, school days are over.
00:16:42Now, forget the paper and just keep your mind on the job.
00:16:44That way, you and me will get along fine.
00:16:46Aye, aye, I'm sorry.
00:16:47Stop apologising, Norrie, just do the job.
00:16:52I'm sorry, Bob, sorry.
00:16:54Oh, stop me there, that bastard bell again.
00:16:57On with the apron, off with the apron.
00:16:59They think, by jeez, I was a whore and a hard day.
00:17:00Here, Roger.
00:17:02Finish that side there or that bloody thing I'll never get done.
00:17:18You bastard!
00:17:19You tried that!
00:17:20No, I didn't.
00:17:20I didn't mean it.
00:17:21Well, feed up right.
00:17:23Bloody chuchter, all right, that's you.
00:17:24I don't even know what you're talking about.
00:17:26Oh, heiling, healing, stupid healing.
00:17:30I'm no healing.
00:17:32You're old man, then?
00:17:33No!
00:17:35You're old lady.
00:17:38You don't like talking about her, do you?
00:17:40What should I talk about her for?
00:17:41A innocent game, now, eh?
00:17:43Who took three o'clock in the morning looking for the doctor?
00:17:45She was ill.
00:17:47Anyway, it's none of your business.
00:17:48A miss, was it?
00:17:50A what?
00:17:51Don't come at you, no, a miss.
00:17:53A couple of snots, a penny royal and bangles the baby.
00:17:56Miscarriage, was it?
00:17:57She was sick in the middle of the night.
00:18:00Abortion?
00:18:00Was that it?
00:18:03You're a stinking big bastard.
00:18:05Don't you talk about my old lady like that.
00:18:07She draped it, didn't she?
00:18:10Oh, I've got them going now.
00:18:12Look at them feet and all.
00:18:13Let that boy call your dirty big sawther
00:18:15and put my boot in your knackers.
00:18:16You couldn't put your boot in shite.
00:18:21Is it no time you had a wee convulsion?
00:18:22Get on your midden, you parish-bred misbegotten gate.
00:18:25You're a bloody liberty-taker.
00:18:30I don't know what you're doing down there.
00:18:32Get on your feet.
00:18:36What are you greeting for?
00:18:37He's greeting because this big long-distance sod here
00:18:39has been tormenting him.
00:18:40Honest to God.
00:18:41Ruger, you're the needle of the first bloody metal.
00:18:44I was reading about folk like you.
00:18:47Psychopaths are calling me, hear that?
00:18:48Psychopaths.
00:18:49Aye.
00:18:50That's one of our own wee special roads for riding the bike on,
00:18:52didn't it?
00:18:53No, one of these days you'll run into it,
00:18:54and I hope I'm there to see it.
00:18:55That's been said before.
00:18:58All right, now, I don't know what he said to you,
00:19:00but it's not the worst you'll hear on this game or any other.
00:19:03So come on, feed up.
00:19:04Come on, come on, move, feed up.
00:19:06I'm choking it!
00:19:07I've told you, you're not in the school now.
00:19:08You're with the big men outside.
00:19:10So either feed up or take off your apron and put your jacket on.
00:19:42You'll be sat in that big job sometime this afternoon.
00:19:46Oh, then you'll see something naughty.
00:19:48See a bit of the trade as it used to be.
00:19:50Four-handed will beat you this job.
00:19:52Two-inch bevel all round.
00:19:55Ah, not much of that kind of stuff going about these days.
00:19:58What's it for?
00:19:59Ah, some daft dancing school wants a matching mirror for one like a broke.
00:20:05Hey, Joe, put the water on for the tea.
00:20:07You forgot about it.
00:20:08Oh, it's his job now.
00:20:09He'll do it tomorrow.
00:20:10All the rest of your jobs too.
00:20:12Well, I hope that means running down to the betting shop for you.
00:20:14Now, less of your luck, Joe.
00:20:16Oh, hey, that reminds me.
00:20:18I'm back three winners on Friday and forgot to collect the money.
00:20:21Wait a minute.
00:20:23I'm going to put the ticket, eh?
00:20:25Here it is.
00:20:26Listen, Norris, take a run down to the betting shop and pick up the money for us, will you?
00:20:30Out the back door, up the stairs, a hundred yards down the street,
00:20:32and this side you ain't. You can do that.
00:20:33I sure nae bother.
00:20:34Ah, well, on you go.
00:20:36It's a lovely day outside.
00:20:38You'll enjoy the run.
00:20:39That's it, Bob.
00:20:40Ah, right.
00:21:06Right when the clock spikes night, down in the glen where the stars brightly shine,
00:21:20And we will walk around.
00:21:26Oh, God.
00:21:29Oh, God.
00:21:32Oh, God.
00:21:34Oh, God.
00:21:40Oh, God.
00:21:44Oh, God.
00:21:56Oh, God.
00:22:02Oh, God.
00:22:05Oh, God.
00:22:06Oh, God.
00:22:21Oh, God.
00:22:29Oh, God.
00:22:40Chant me in, chant me in, just about what I thought myself.
00:22:42Hey, no bad for a dollar roll up, eh?
00:22:44Ah, you're a dapp hand at the accumulators, Bob.
00:22:46You always manage to back once, daughter.
00:22:48I suppose it makes up for all the stevers.
00:22:50Aye, you're right, Peter.
00:22:52This time last year I had, eh, two bob, ten pence gone for me in a four-horse roller.
00:22:57Just over 14 pound it got me.
00:22:59Aye, you didn't forget the boy that ran with the line.
00:23:02I'm not forgetting him this time here.
00:23:04Yeah, they're half a quid.
00:23:05Oh, great, eh?
00:23:06We've got two years this time.
00:23:07You went to the bet and the boy here picked it up, so dollar each.
00:23:11What?
00:23:13Look, I've been doing it for donkeys.
00:23:15He comes in here new and the first day he goes he's on a dollar.
00:23:18Aye, that's right.
00:23:19A dollar to you and a dollar to the boy.
00:23:25There you are, Pontius.
00:23:27I didn't ask for it.
00:23:28Never heed him. Get your tea.
00:23:29Don't think there's enough left for him.
00:23:31Well, what do you not put plenty on for?
00:23:33Just put the usual on.
00:23:34Forgot about him.
00:23:35Oh, that's all right.
00:23:36I've got my flask.
00:23:37Oh, a flask, eh?
00:23:39Yeah, Lord Fonteroy's sister sends him to his work with a flask and sandwiches.
00:23:42What do you want a flask for?
00:23:44Plenty of gas in the ring.
00:23:45Oh, it's just to go on my dinner piece.
00:23:47You eating your dinner in this place?
00:23:48Aye.
00:23:49Do you not all do it?
00:23:50I think marry my gut than eating my chuck in here.
00:23:53Well, does nobody do it then?
00:23:54You're buying your tod the minute a whistle goes.
00:23:56There's only one other man in here at dinnertime.
00:23:58Who's that?
00:24:00The beveler's ghost.
00:24:02Ah, the beveler's arse.
00:24:05Don't you listen to them, sir.
00:24:06Many a good kip have been in here at dinnertime.
00:24:08Aw, it's a lot of junk, that ghost stuff.
00:24:11Mind you, I'll not be having a kip the day all the same.
00:24:13No, I'll be toddling down to the loka with Bob here for a glass of that glass slagger.
00:24:17You're gonna set them up the day, I hope.
00:24:19Ah, I don't mind.
00:24:20Not every day you get a wee turn at the bookies.
00:24:22Good.
00:24:22You're all invited.
00:24:23Know me, Bob.
00:24:24Thanks all the same.
00:24:25You know me.
00:24:26You rude ya.
00:24:27Now, I wanna get a spare inside tube for a bike.
00:24:29Maybe if I get back.
00:24:31Suit yourself.
00:24:33Charlie!
00:24:34What up?
00:24:34Calvinise, will you drapin' that thing?
00:24:38You must have some strength.
00:24:40Aye, some strength.
00:24:41And some knack, too.
00:24:43I mean, you learn a knack through practice.
00:24:45You fancy trying to learn it, then?
00:24:46I've got some knack of my own.
00:24:49You shoving that thing out your head half a dozen times might look snazzy.
00:24:52You try shoving a bike up to the Mallion back in one day and see who'd have the knack then.
00:24:56Knackered me like you'd be.
00:24:57Wouldn't waste my time.
00:24:59Oh, you wouldn't waste my time yesterday, I'll tell you.
00:25:01We caught six riders for the Troy Wheelers just below the Falls of Fallach.
00:25:05Four of us and six of them.
00:25:07They knew we were on their tail and they tried to shake us on the climb.
00:25:11And suddenly the road ahead was clear and one of our boys shouts,
00:25:14Jump!
00:25:15We were out with our saddles like jokies.
00:25:16Like one man we sprinted up the hill.
00:25:18Danced away from him.
00:25:20Burnt off they were.
00:25:21Burnt right off.
00:25:22And that was na knack.
00:25:23That was peddling, Mac.
00:25:24Shoving and peddling.
00:25:25Bravo.
00:25:29Where the hell's this?
00:25:32Give us back my drawers.
00:25:34What the hell are you doing with these?
00:25:36Your sisters, is that it?
00:25:38Some boy takes his sister's knickers out with him.
00:25:40You keep the sister out of it.
00:25:43There was some bird up a windy shouted to me when I was coming down the backstair
00:25:46and flung those things over.
00:25:47Who at the work next door?
00:25:48Aye.
00:25:49What are you telling us?
00:25:50There's some young fox up there,
00:25:52hauls off her drawers and chucks them out the windy for you.
00:25:54They were only for me.
00:25:55Oh, for somebody else then?
00:25:56I don't know.
00:25:59There's nobody in here knows any of the birds up there except Charlie.
00:26:02Oh, shut up.
00:26:03All right, boy.
00:26:03Speak up.
00:26:06All right.
00:26:07But it's no my fault.
00:26:09There was two or three of these lassies up there.
00:26:12The windy was slung open.
00:26:14One of them seem to be trying to stop the R2 flinging those things,
00:26:17but they can fly in all the windy and one of them shouted,
00:26:21These are for Charlie.
00:26:22Tell him Nancy says they're in fire.
00:26:25And he's a man with a hose.
00:26:27You little bastard!
00:26:28No, no, no, no, Charlie.
00:26:29No, no.
00:26:29The boy wanted to keep his mouth shut.
00:26:31You made him speak.
00:26:31Can't I, Peter?
00:26:32Aye, fair enough.
00:26:33The boy wanted to haunt his tongue.
00:26:35What the hell does it matter anyway?
00:26:36It was just a bunch of lasses skylarking.
00:26:39I suppose you're right.
00:26:40Okay, son, forget it.
00:26:41Joke's on me.
00:26:44But it's over.
00:26:45Just keep that in mind.
00:26:47Everybody.
00:27:14Do you think the morning went past quick, Bo?
00:27:16Past quick?
00:27:17Vanny's disappeared.
00:27:18How do you know?
00:27:19Well, it seemed quite a long time of me.
00:27:21In school you've got different periods, and time goes quick.
00:27:23Back at school again, are you?
00:27:25Take my advice, son.
00:27:26Put it behind you.
00:27:27Not unless you're thinking I can bite you, are you?
00:27:28No, nay chance.
00:27:30No, you've got to make the break some time, so I'll stick in.
00:27:34You might think this is a rough job, rough folk,
00:27:36but it's not as bad as it used to be.
00:27:39The Rudgers old man was a beveler.
00:27:40Now you think he's twisted.
00:27:42You want to see this old man.
00:27:44He would collect his wages at the end of the week
00:27:46and take the boys too.
00:27:47That was the last they would see of him at the pubs
00:27:49on a Saturday night.
00:27:51They were lucky if he'd enough to left to keep them
00:27:52in pigs' feet for the rest of the week.
00:27:56Ah, Stephanie, what does he want now?
00:28:09Hey, Norrie, you really fancy that bike out there, eh?
00:28:13Have you given it away?
00:28:14Nah, you can always have a gander at it.
00:28:16How much will it cost us?
00:28:18Feel the position.
00:28:20Now, if you see a rider with his position right,
00:28:23you know he's a peddler.
00:28:25But if you see a bloke with his ass in the air,
00:28:27you know he's a plunk, a joseph.
00:28:29Ah, well, I wouldn't care what it looked like
00:28:31if it had this thing under me.
00:28:32You'd get the knock before you reached Uncle Patrick.
00:28:35I've shoved a bite before this.
00:28:36You'd get fire in your gut.
00:28:40Just like that fire behind you.
00:28:43What's that for?
00:28:44No feel it cold?
00:28:45No, no me.
00:28:46Old papers, mate, very good burning.
00:28:52Is that that old paper that come out the mirror?
00:28:54Oh, you're getting warm.
00:28:54I'm not as warm as that crap about your old school.
00:28:58These are a couple of animals.
00:29:01Liberty takers.
00:29:02You knew I wanted that paper.
00:29:03The teacher's pet.
00:29:05Galloping back to get a pat in the heat for being a good boy.
00:29:10I thought you were going to be my mate in here, Joe.
00:29:13No chance, Mac.
00:29:16Lousy bastards.
00:29:19Aye, what's that burning?
00:29:20Go and tell him.
00:29:22Tell the teacher.
00:29:23Here the big bad boy set fire to his paper.
00:29:27Joe.
00:29:28You get some watering on that at once,
00:29:29and I'll land you as a beer kicking the arse.
00:29:32Bringer.
00:29:33You're a lousebag, plain and simple.
00:29:35It was doing you no harm to let the boy have the paper,
00:29:37but you couldn't leave it, could you?
00:29:39I knew your old man.
00:29:40I wouldn't have crossed him, but he was straight in his own way.
00:29:43You.
00:29:44When they bury you, they'll use a twisted coffin.
00:29:46My old man was a pig.
00:29:48And when he got to the age he was past, I'll let him know it, too.
00:29:51Aye, don't tell us.
00:29:52I remember his last days at the job.
00:29:54He used to thump him in the chest and say,
00:29:56Go on, you dirty old piggy.
00:29:59All right, Norrie.
00:30:00Don't stand there like a stumer.
00:30:01Mix some pumice or something.
00:30:03Let's stir your eyes to us.
00:30:04The lot of yous.
00:30:05Peter.
00:30:06Charlie.
00:30:07Come here, I want yous.
00:30:08You two.
00:30:11Now listen.
00:30:12Leslie says we've got to get that big mirror plate through here right now,
00:30:15so give us your efforts and we'll lie it through against the stair.
00:30:18You want me, Bob?
00:30:20When I want you, I'll ask you.
00:30:26Now you've got me in bad with a gaffer.
00:30:27I've got you in bad.
00:30:28I didn't do anything.
00:30:29You and your manky old paper.
00:30:31Well, you knew I wanted to keep it cos it was old.
00:30:33Look old papers out of your old mirrors.
00:30:34A ten a penny in this job.
00:30:36I didn't know that.
00:30:37We still have to burn it anyway.
00:30:38I'll get his bottled.
00:30:43Is that you bringing it through now, Bob?
00:30:45Well, we're not exactly taking it out of the pipe.
00:30:47Sure.
00:30:48I see you don't mark the face.
00:30:49We're just looking for rough corners to give it a dent against.
00:30:52It's all right kicking, Bob.
00:30:53But that's a valuable job.
00:30:54Watch the stairs, Peter.
00:30:54Oh, thanks for reminding me they're there.
00:30:56I'd never noticed them before.
00:30:57You're all in good humor of the day.
00:30:59I can see that.
00:30:59Well, I'm just trying to get this job from one side of the shop to the other.
00:31:02Where are you putting it down?
00:31:03Well, that alongside the stair there.
00:31:05If you'll get out the road, Dad.
00:31:07Sorry.
00:31:08Sorry.
00:31:12Do you think that's the safest place for it?
00:31:14It's the only place for it.
00:31:16Unless you know somewhere in the shop I haven't seen before.
00:31:18No need for the sarcasm, Bob.
00:31:20Just seeing things right.
00:31:21Just a minute, Leslie.
00:31:22I'll talk to you in a minute.
00:31:22All right now, lads.
00:31:23Just get your hands down there.
00:31:25I shall lie it against the ladders.
00:31:27You'll have to be careful when you're going into the doings.
00:31:30Well now, Leslie.
00:31:31That wasn't too bad, was it?
00:31:33No.
00:31:33Quite good.
00:31:34Quite good.
00:31:35You laddies be careful when you're going up the stairs.
00:31:37No jumping.
00:31:38You hear that, Sonny?
00:31:38Yes, Mr Skinner.
00:31:40Well, I suppose you're right, Bob.
00:31:42That's just about the best place for it.
00:31:44When do you think you'll make a start on it?
00:31:46Oh, maybe two o'clock, half past.
00:31:48Well, as long as you get it started this afternoon.
00:31:50I don't know what all the panic is, Leslie.
00:31:52We'd better give them this a full day.
00:31:53No, we must get it started sometime today.
00:31:55You're a boss.
00:31:56Well, I'll be off then.
00:31:57Remember what I told you boys.
00:31:58Watch the stairs.
00:32:05Away and put your bum in a frame and hang it out the windy.
00:32:09That man would drive you to drink, wouldn't he?
00:32:10Well, he won't drive me the day.
00:32:12You're still going to set them up, I hope.
00:32:14Maybe you shouldn't go the day, eh, Peter?
00:32:16But the day a lager sets me off, my stroke will chuck it.
00:32:31He's upon half of my wellies, Bob.
00:32:33Oh, dear me, but it's worth it.
00:32:39Hey, hey, they were washed this morning.
00:32:40Aye, put it in.
00:32:49That was a problem.
00:32:50See you, Peter.
00:32:51Aye, right.
00:32:59I'll leave a couple of lights on for you, son.
00:33:01But don't be touching anything you shouldn't touch now.
00:33:03Aye, right.
00:34:23You way-faced old bastard.
00:34:25You come near me and I'll break every bit of glass in this shop over you.
00:34:29Don't be fair, son.
00:34:30You might be a ghost, but you touch me and you'll regret the day that you ever snuffed him.
00:34:35I'm not a ghost, son.
00:34:37Sometimes I wish I was, eh?
00:34:39Sometimes I feel like one.
00:34:40But I just need to wait with my time.
00:34:43I'm sorry if I gied you a fright.
00:34:45What are you doing here?
00:34:49I was doing here before you were born.
00:34:51Best years of my life are spent, doing here.
00:34:55Among the pumice and the wheels of Sloughy.
00:34:59What?
00:35:01Sloughy.
00:35:02The groundings of the glass that gathers at the bottoms of the wheels.
00:35:06He must be new here, eh?
00:35:08When does he start?
00:35:09Smaller.
00:35:10Ah, you'll know I'll learn all the different names for the wee bits and pieces round about the trade, eh?
00:35:17The burning and the slurry and...
00:35:22Hey, Cullet!
00:35:24Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:35:25You know what Cullet is, eh?
00:35:26No.
00:35:27No.
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:29It's not much.
00:35:31Sounds like something, though, eh?
00:35:34Scrap glass.
00:35:36In that box below the bench there.
00:35:38Shards, spikes.
00:35:40Remains of old jobs that gets bunged away and forgot them.
00:35:42That's Cullet.
00:35:45Maybe they told me.
00:35:46Yeah, yeah.
00:35:48Say, sometimes I feel like a bit of old Cullet myself, eh?
00:35:52Sometimes in the morning.
00:35:55I feel as if the Cullets inside me.
00:35:57He picks his corners.
00:35:59Wee, sharp, sloughed as a glass.
00:36:02It's trying to bust their way out of my inside.
00:36:05Eh?
00:36:08There's no glass, of course.
00:36:11It's just the way I am sometimes in the mornings, eh?
00:36:16Were you looking for somebody?
00:36:18Was it Bob you were looking for?
00:36:20Yeah, Bob.
00:36:21Or maybe Peter B.
00:36:22Any of the onions.
00:36:24The onions are...
00:36:26different.
00:36:28Wouldn't you give a look at the drawers
00:36:29if their arse was stirred up with diamonds, eh?
00:36:33Now, go on, sit down, son.
00:36:35Have your peace.
00:36:47Oh, you're not just sure of me yet, are you?
00:36:50Oh, it's all right, all right.
00:36:56Oh, go on, don't bother with me.
00:36:59Oh, my luck for here.
00:37:00Oh, jeez.
00:37:08Bob backed a couple of winners
00:37:09and him and Peter are doing in the pub.
00:37:10Hurry!
00:37:13If I'd have known that,
00:37:14I wouldn't be here, I'll tell you.
00:37:16Well, could you know what I'm doing?
00:37:17You might cast it.
00:37:17Run?
00:37:18That's a good you know.
00:37:20What's your name?
00:37:21Norrie.
00:37:22Yeah, well.
00:37:24Norrie.
00:37:26The thing I want me is right now
00:37:27is the big jill of wine.
00:37:29But I couldn't run.
00:37:30See if they were to the bottom of pitch
00:37:32to eat there, gain it of wine and barrels.
00:37:33You're no feeling well.
00:37:36No.
00:37:38You cold or something?
00:37:40Sure.
00:37:41I'm cold, I'm hot, I'm sweating, I'm shivering.
00:37:44Jesus, I'm exhausted.
00:37:50Listen, son.
00:37:51What?
00:37:55Oh, never mind, eh?
00:38:04You just started this morning, is that right?
00:38:06What?
00:38:08Is he going to stick it?
00:38:10Not sure.
00:38:11I'll have to wait and see.
00:38:12Don't.
00:38:13Norrie, son, don't.
00:38:14Get away from you.
00:38:15Spend your days grinding glassing at the finish.
00:38:18Like slurring at the bottom of that wheel.
00:38:22Never get away with the sound of water dripping in your ears.
00:38:26Damp.
00:38:27Creeps into the soles of your feet and grips it.
00:38:29Right up to your neck.
00:38:31Your feet turns the color of pumice.
00:38:34You can't stop it.
00:38:36See?
00:38:36See that rudder?
00:38:39He tries to keep the sign on his face,
00:38:41be galloping like a bloody idiot out on that bike of his.
00:38:44And Charlie thinks he can put off the evil Dave.
00:38:48Lifting that stupid weight of his hour, is he?
00:38:53They can't stop it.
00:38:54You know, there's something breaks down in the chest, and the sound of your voice gets thin.
00:39:00In one day, you're...
00:39:04And you're an old man.
00:39:05Bent.
00:39:06Brittle.
00:39:07Don't stout it in the hurry, son.
00:39:08Get something else, anything.
00:39:10Out there in the sun and the fresh air.
00:39:13Get a job on a motor, eh?
00:39:16Or a van.
00:39:17Honestly, just don't stout the stress.
00:39:20Because of your day.
00:39:24Earl Benji.
00:39:27Aye, well...
00:39:28I haven't made up my mind about it.
00:39:32I'll take my words and make it up soon.
00:39:35Look, I'm not saying that they're running some lovely things about this trade,
00:39:39but that's all in the end, Brodick.
00:39:44I've seen some work, you know, for some of the old fellas.
00:39:49Bringing wee needles into the corners of your eyes, it was that.
00:39:54Lovely.
00:39:55But it's not worth it, son.
00:39:57Take my word.
00:39:57The price for all that work's going to be paid.
00:40:00How long have you been stopped working?
00:40:04Oh, a few years, eh?
00:40:08I come in here sometimes just to see the boys, you know?
00:40:12Sometimes the bungs of you, Bob, gets a glass of wine.
00:40:15I'm a wine mopper, you know?
00:40:18Is that how you're shaking?
00:40:21No, that's how, son.
00:40:22That's how.
00:40:24You can imagine me hiding a three-foot plate with a shake like this or something, eh?
00:40:28Dangerous for you?
00:40:28It's dangerous for everybody, eh?
00:40:36I'm not saying the trade did this to me.
00:40:39This might have happened anyway.
00:40:41But sometimes stuck down here with a mill going.
00:40:46Sad as water dripping.
00:40:51On bad days, I used to think this is how it's going to be
00:40:53after that big trumpet goes, eh?
00:40:56Grab the jacket, dive out the back door there for a glass.
00:40:58There'll be red.
00:41:01Now that time came, I just couldn't have come in at all.
00:41:06Not to work anymore.
00:41:12Hey, son.
00:41:14How long is it till the restroom gets back?
00:41:17Oh, it's a good 40 minutes yet, anyway.
00:41:19Oh, I can't stay here.
00:41:22We funny things are beginning to jig a bit at the sides of the ice.
00:41:26I'll...
00:41:27I'll just need to cut...
00:41:28Oh, it's just...
00:41:29Oh, it's all right, son.
00:41:31It's all right.
00:41:32It's all right.
00:41:33I'm all right.
00:41:34I'll just...
00:41:35I'll need to try and catch the boys on the road up there.
00:41:39But what if you don't catch them?
00:41:42Don't know.
00:41:43Oh, when it's like this, you never know.
00:41:45You just have to suffer and suffer.
00:41:49Just have to suffer.
00:41:55Would a dollar be any use to you?
00:41:59You mean you would give us a dollar?
00:42:03Aye.
00:42:07I'd give us a...
00:42:08No, I didn't say that.
00:42:09You couldn't give us a...
00:42:11I was going to talk to you that a wee while ago, Bobby.
00:42:14You're just a young boy.
00:42:17Oh.
00:42:19Oh.
00:42:22No!
00:42:33No, that's quite a lot.
00:42:35See the way I'm drinking?
00:42:38At least a tap of my heat will not come off, eh?
00:42:45Maybe it'll not make much difference in the long run.
00:42:47But in the day, anyway.
00:42:50I'll be safe for the day.
00:42:53Cheerio.
00:42:55Laurie!
00:43:00Get her clean, boy.
00:43:04Get her clean, boy.
00:43:06Get her clean.
00:43:08Get her clean.
00:43:31Get her clean.
00:43:32Get her clean.
00:43:33I'll be right back.
00:43:37I'll be right back.
00:43:37하나 of the day.
00:43:44One more day.
00:44:44Anybody here?
00:44:48Where are you, Chukta?
00:44:51Come out, come out.
00:44:52We're selling fruit.
00:44:53We're selling fruit.
00:44:54We're selling fruit.
00:45:08We're selling fruit.
00:45:11We're selling fruit.
00:45:37We're selling fruit.
00:45:52We're selling fruit.
00:46:02We're selling fruit.
00:46:03We're selling fruit.
00:46:07We're selling fruit.
00:46:28We're selling fruit.
00:46:33We're selling fruit.
00:46:37Don't know what you're losing the brow for. You stick the needle in to me, I stick it back.
00:46:40Nothing the matter about that.
00:46:43I'm bailing out of here.
00:46:44Suit yourself. Go on, stay. I'm no bothering you.
00:46:47Would you mind opening the door then?
00:46:48No, I don't mind. Just give us a minute and I'll open it.
00:46:55How can you work in a place like this?
00:46:57It's not that bad.
00:46:58It's a dump. Places like this should be demolished.
00:47:02Most of them are, but we're still here.
00:47:04No. That wouldn't work here if you gave me a mink Rolls Royce.
00:47:09You'll be getting that any day now, eh?
00:47:10I mean, when you and Charlie walked down the aisle.
00:47:12That'll be the day.
00:47:14What, you no set the date yet?
00:47:15I think the calendar's stoked.
00:47:17You mean it to say that Charlie's no sweating to get you signed up?
00:47:20You ask too many questions.
00:47:23No offence. Just thought you wanted to hear your feelings.
00:47:25Well, I don't want to broadcast them.
00:47:27All right. I heard nothing.
00:47:31Well, that's it.
00:47:33Well, open the door for you now.
00:47:35You don't like to see me after you?
00:47:36No.
00:47:37No, I like talking to you.
00:47:39As a matter of fact, I like you.
00:47:41Say, but, Sandy, how could you like me?
00:47:43You don't even know me.
00:47:44Well, the cat can look up the Queen's drawers, can't it?
00:47:47That's enough.
00:47:48That's just the way of speaking.
00:47:50I mean, I've seen you stacks of times.
00:47:51In my own way, I've liked you.
00:47:53I've no said much to you right enough,
00:47:55but then I don't know where I stand, dear.
00:47:56Well, you stand where you always stood big in.
00:47:58Right out in the rain.
00:47:59That's not exactly fair, is it?
00:48:01For all you know, I could be one of the nicest fellas in the city.
00:48:04Oh, I'll never know anything about that.
00:48:05Well, that's up to you.
00:48:07Were you supposed to see Charlie?
00:48:09Aye.
00:48:10Said he'd see me in front of the work at a quarter past.
00:48:13He could have left late.
00:48:14He sometimes does a bit of training with that weight there.
00:48:16Maybe he forgot.
00:48:17Training for what?
00:48:19Apostle Park Olympics?
00:48:20No, they'll get any strength up.
00:48:23I mean, a lovely girl like you.
00:48:24Flattie'll get you nowhere.
00:48:25No, I mean it.
00:48:26Genuine.
00:48:27I think they're a lovely girl.
00:48:28Well, the compliments are bowling me over.
00:48:30No, I mean it.
00:48:31Straight.
00:48:32Terrific body.
00:48:33Smashing face.
00:48:34A lot.
00:48:35You better not let him hear you saying that.
00:48:37He'll never hear it unless you tell him.
00:48:43You are dead crafty, aren't you?
00:48:45No, strike me dead.
00:48:47If I was Charlie, you'd be right up in the old pedestal for my money.
00:48:52Do you know, I used to think you were a deadhead.
00:48:55You're getting quite romantic in your old age.
00:48:58Well, I'll say it again, Nancy.
00:48:59You don't know me.
00:49:01Sit down a minute, and if you're no fly off the handle,
00:49:03I'll tell you what I think.
00:49:12Fag?
00:49:12Ah, don't use him.
00:49:14Saving my strength for the big event.
00:49:16I think it'll be worth it when the time comes.
00:49:18Ah, and he swank, innit?
00:49:20I mean, if you were my bird, I would look after you in a way that Charlie doesn't,
00:49:24I don't think.
00:49:25Didn't he know you told forces?
00:49:26I see the fella day, innit, do you?
00:49:28I mean, jerking that weight there, or he's nut a hundred times a session,
00:49:31doesn't mean to say he's got confidence in the right place.
00:49:34You're doing it all?
00:49:36Ah, you tell me if I'm wrang.
00:49:39I believe all this strongman stuff is strictly for the onlookers.
00:49:43Now, what is it like in the heat of the moment when the defences are down?
00:49:47Or when anything else is down, for that matter?
00:49:49Now, don't take the spot.
00:49:51When has ever set the brushing fire in the clincher?
00:49:52Ah, you'd like to know, wouldn't you?
00:49:53No, but you should know.
00:49:54You should know the difference.
00:49:56Four years you've been waiting, haven't you?
00:49:57Waiting for the man behind the muscle to give you a charge, just once.
00:50:00Why are you getting it?
00:50:00It's simple.
00:50:01He blutters himself into a trance, breaking tissue, building the frame,
00:50:04and for what?
00:50:05Another night when he leaves you like a cold pie in the doorstep.
00:50:07Oh, well, maybe I'm not that kind of girl.
00:50:08You are, Nancy, you are.
00:50:10You're just waiting for the right moment, and it might come at a time that'll surprise you.
00:50:13Right, friend.
00:50:14Well, let me put it to you this way.
00:50:15Look, Charlie's a champ, with the fingernails up.
00:50:18Now, I'm like steel for the waste dune, Nancy.
00:50:19There's power there.
00:50:21That machine across there, that bike, it's built me something you couldn't imagine in your wildest fantasy.
00:50:26Oh, I think it's time I was leaving.
00:50:27No, hang on.
00:50:27Just a couple of shakes, and let me state my case.
00:50:29And if you fancy it, I'll prove it.
00:50:31The men will soon be back.
00:50:33Well, we've just got time, then.
00:50:34Look, you said you had nothing against me, Nancy.
00:50:37You'll let me take care of you for a minute.
00:50:39I'll have something lovely against you.
00:50:43No here, for God's sake, no here.
00:50:46We want to destroy it.
00:50:47Come on.
00:50:48Come on, lovely bed for a lovely detail.
00:50:50Come on, you'll be all right with me, Nancy.
00:50:52I'll take care of you.
00:50:53That's it.
00:50:54I'll take care of you, Nancy.
00:51:18You're a knee-crape swatching little snotter.
00:51:21I'll cut the bloody scrotum off you.
00:51:23I'll eviscerate you.
00:51:25You whole spun bastardified conscapulated young prick.
00:51:29I'll do you 20 years for mincing you.
00:51:32I had her.
00:51:32Right there I had a spread eagle waiting for the knife, and you blew it.
00:51:36Another minute.
00:51:37I scored where Charlie never scored, and you shankered it,
00:51:41you perish-eyed-perishing bastard.
00:51:44Well, what she never got you'll get?
00:51:46Come down.
00:51:47Come down here, I'm telling you.
00:51:50Come down here, you're going to stay up.
00:51:51I'm fear to stay up, but I'm fear to come down.
00:51:53You better come down, don't you?
00:51:55Fear it's coming.
00:51:57I'll make a bane out of this, and I'll come up and...
00:51:59I'm coming up.
00:52:00I'm coming down.
00:52:01I'm coming down.
00:52:02Don't touch it.
00:52:02Say, go on and I'll touch it.
00:52:03I never meant to watch you.
00:52:05If she's honest, I'll...
00:52:05I'll not say anything.
00:52:07You better not say anything, or I'll tell them I blocked you because you wanted it.
00:52:11I'll do that anyway.
00:52:12Lisa, then you dirty pig!
00:52:13I'll tell Charlie where he goes down there and stare!
00:52:15You'll not live that long, all of you stuffed and pass on a couple of shades.
00:52:18Where the hell's the road out there?
00:52:21Nothing, Les Les.
00:52:22Just a bit of kidding.
00:52:24Terrible noise.
00:52:25Sounds like a bad day at Hampden.
00:52:26No more of it now.
00:52:28Yes, Les.
00:52:28There you are.
00:52:29See you to it, then.
00:52:32Right.
00:52:34Just you keep buttoned up about this in your safe.
00:52:37But you say anything, especially to Charlie, and I'll try to cut it out of this collet box
00:52:41and they'll be stitching you forever.
00:52:43Don't think I'll be standing here waiting for it, do you?
00:52:44Oh, you mean you'll be taking a powder?
00:52:47I'll no be loitering.
00:52:56I put the wind up your head, didn't I?
00:52:59You don't think I meant all that, do you?
00:53:01I'm bloody sure you did.
00:53:02Not at all!
00:53:04Hey, Norrie, what do you take me for?
00:53:08All right.
00:53:09You leave me alone and I'll be saying nothing.
00:53:13That's you screwing a nut now, Norrie.
00:53:16Well, just keep Charlie with us.
00:53:18Because if you open your mouth, I'll get to you quick.
00:53:23Believe it.
00:53:24Just keep your horns off me.
00:53:26Ah, sure, sure.
00:53:27Hey, remember.
00:53:29No grass.
00:53:30You dare dig you up.
00:53:31New kipper, you.
00:53:34Aye, you can take the drawers off the bookies every day in the week, Paul.
00:53:37And it'll give me great pleasure to stand alongside you and drink the process.
00:53:40Ah, if I make it once a year, Peter, I'm not complaining.
00:53:43Aye, aye.
00:53:43I'll buy you another pint next year.
00:53:45Well, we'll all be then, eh?
00:53:47Oh, with any luck, we'll all be somewhere.
00:53:50Not so sure about the shop here.
00:53:51It's on its last legs.
00:53:52Aye, look, the trade.
00:53:53Ah, I wouldn't say that.
00:53:55Maybe not the same class of work as there used to be,
00:53:57but there'll always be room for a good man.
00:53:59Ah, well, right now I haven't the room for all that lager I've drunk.
00:54:02I'll away and pour the tatties.
00:54:05Dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping, here are the many spores.
00:54:09You enjoy your peace, Norrie?
00:54:11Aye, no bad.
00:54:12You no go out at all?
00:54:13I didn't bother.
00:54:13Eh, did the ghost no get you?
00:54:15Aye, he was here.
00:54:17Who was here?
00:54:17That old man.
00:54:19Who was that then?
00:54:20He said his name was Alec, Alec Freer.
00:54:22Hey, you didn't tell me that.
00:54:24He didn't ask us.
00:54:24Was he right in the shop here?
00:54:26Aye.
00:54:26Was he away before I come in?
00:54:28Aye.
00:54:28You sure about that?
00:54:29Well, you didn't see him here, did you?
00:54:30Do you not know if he was here?
00:54:32I just thought you might have went out the back door.
00:54:34You would have seen him then, wouldn't you?
00:54:36What are you getting into an uproar for?
00:54:38Just ask him.
00:54:39Are you sure you're here than who?
00:54:41No.
00:54:41I'm up in the rafters, higher and higher.
00:54:44You hear that, Peter?
00:54:45Aye.
00:54:46Old Alec Freer was in the shop here,
00:54:47and they're just no sure whether he saw him or not.
00:54:49Oh, was he invisible?
00:54:50Aye.
00:54:50All right, forget it.
00:54:53Just thought he might have slipped away, Zachamon.
00:54:55What's up with you?
00:54:56Nothing.
00:54:57There's nothing up with me.
00:54:59Aye, he left a while before the Rudger got here.
00:55:01Aha, what was he wanting?
00:55:02Looking for you and Bob.
00:55:03What did you tell him?
00:55:04Said he's worth down the pub.
00:55:05Oh, well, that should have been enough to send him galloping.
00:55:07No, he was kind of shaky.
00:55:09You mean to say he wasn't chasing us up to the boozer when he left here?
00:55:12I'm not sure.
00:55:12Did he not try to put the tap on you for the price of a jewel?
00:55:15No, but I gied him a dollar anyway.
00:55:17What?
00:55:18A dollar that Bob gied you?
00:55:19You bunged that old stumer.
00:55:21I suppose I was.
00:55:22I just felt sorry for the man.
00:55:24What do you make of that, Rudger?
00:55:25He's a very ungrateful boy, that.
00:55:28Devious like.
00:55:29Aye, like some other people.
00:55:30No a mile away from here.
00:55:31Ah, what's the odds?
00:55:32His dollar wasn't.
00:55:34Alec Freer looked bad.
00:55:35He was sick.
00:55:36He'll not get better.
00:55:38Hey, that whistle hasn't he went.
00:55:39Time we're all started.
00:55:40Come on.
00:55:44See any signs of old Alec Freer on your travels, Charlie?
00:55:47I saw nobody.
00:55:48Nobody.
00:55:49Not anybody.
00:55:51Not anybody.
00:55:59What's eating you, Charlie?
00:56:01Forty-five minutes I stood in that corner.
00:56:03Not a sign.
00:56:04Not a whiff.
00:56:05Oh, by gee, she'll wait for me, I'm telling you.
00:56:07Hey, did Nancy not show up for something?
00:56:09That's right.
00:56:10Or something.
00:56:11I'm standing here like a motionless pump.
00:56:14Forty-five.
00:56:15Hey, you must be angry, Charlie.
00:56:17Yeah, boy, jeez, I'm angry.
00:56:21I'll...
00:56:22I'll...
00:56:23Oh, no, Charlie.
00:56:24Hammer's on the nuts.
00:56:25How's that?
00:56:29That's the grand-bastard finale, Charlie, we are.
00:56:33Now, you get that air-seeker out of here.
00:56:34Nine shell-shot pile-driving bloody year we've had it.
00:56:37It's all finished now.
00:56:38Finished.
00:56:39I don't care how you do it.
00:56:40You can stuff it in your back, poke it or ram it up your nose,
00:56:42but out it goes.
00:56:44Friday at the latest.
00:56:45Oh, hey, that short notice you've gone on, Bob.
00:56:46Ah, you get to your work plaster arse.
00:56:50Now, listen, everybody.
00:56:51We've got all the odds and ends and rush jobs cleared up
00:56:53before we start on the big job.
00:56:54Hey, Bob.
00:56:55Sometime this afternoon.
00:56:56Come on, now, get stuck into here.
00:56:59Plenty of homers there, Norrie.
00:57:00Aye.
00:57:00Right.
00:57:02Where's this old miller?
00:57:05Oh, hell.
00:57:06Hey, Bob.
00:57:08Bob, I'm hell of a sorry.
00:57:10I should have noticed that before this.
00:57:11The grinder's pretty foreworn.
00:57:13Do not doubt very much there was enough left in it
00:57:15to see the big job through.
00:57:17Oh, hey, that's a problem right enough, Peter.
00:57:20Any suggestions?
00:57:21Well, no, unless we make a start in the old mill
00:57:23you've got a new wheel on.
00:57:24What, nothing left in that wheel there at all?
00:57:26Oh, but it might not be enough.
00:57:28Well, have a look at it anyway.
00:57:29Hey, Norrie, take her on up the stairs
00:57:31and tell Leslie I would like a word we have.
00:57:32Yeah.
00:57:35That doesn't look too bad, Peter.
00:57:37I think it might just last.
00:57:39What do you think yourself?
00:57:40Well, it could last maybe, but then you know how it goes.
00:57:43One minute you've got a grinder and the next minute
00:57:45you're down to the metal.
00:57:46Oh, would chance it anyway.
00:57:48It's up to you.
00:57:48But just in case, we'll get the boys to sieve some sand
00:57:50for the old mill.
00:57:51Hey, Joe, when Norrie comes down the stairs,
00:57:53start getting a wee lot of sand through here
00:57:55and riddle it.
00:57:56Peter, see if the belts in the old mill are okay.
00:57:59All right.
00:57:59Well, come on, come on, Joe.
00:58:00Get cracking.
00:58:01What, sieving sand?
00:58:02Aye, sieving sand.
00:58:03What do you think?
00:58:04Well, it's two years since I sieved sand.
00:58:06I don't know if I can do it now.
00:58:08Oh, aye, you'll have forgot the intricacies, eh?
00:58:10Well, it's not my job any more, Bob.
00:58:12I'm beveling now.
00:58:13Oh, beveling.
00:58:14Come on, come on.
00:58:15You've done the job before.
00:58:16Show the boy.
00:58:17Get the pills ready.
00:58:18He'll carry some for you.
00:58:20I hate sieving sand.
00:58:21I hate getting a kick in the arse if I give you one.
00:58:25What do you make of it, eh?
00:58:26Open bloody rebellion for the junior staff.
00:58:29Hey, if there was a war on,
00:58:30they would take you out in a Mexican heart and shoot you.
00:58:33Look at you.
00:58:34Look at you.
00:58:34He was on the phone.
00:58:35Says that you have to go up.
00:58:37You wouldn't say you've...
00:58:39Oh, jeez, I'll tell him something.
00:58:41So I will, eh?
00:58:43Just once.
00:58:44Just once, you want a wee conference with the head of the house
00:58:47and what happens, eh?
00:58:48They're not even come halfway to meet you.
00:58:50Hey, Bob, your apron.
00:58:52Ah, to hell with the apron.
00:58:53You get with Joe there and learn how to sieve sand.
00:58:55What's a sieve?
00:58:58I've heard everything now, eh?
00:58:59What's a sieve?
00:59:01All the way before my arteries start to chuck.
00:59:03All right, you.
00:59:04Come over here and see if you can carry a pail full of sand.
00:59:07I'll go pail for pail with you any time in chance, eh?
00:59:10Ah, well, you should be doing it by yourself now.
00:59:12It's not my job any more.
00:59:14I have to learn the first winter.
00:59:16Imagine that, eh?
00:59:17Never heard of a sieve before.
00:59:18I will wait for you to tell us.
00:59:20Eh, rude you.
00:59:21This one here hasnae heard of a sieve before.
00:59:24So riddle, you muggy.
00:59:26Oh, one of these round thing?
00:59:27Ah, that's right.
00:59:28With the meat safe on the end of it.
00:59:29Ah, right now you know, eh?
00:59:31So fill up two pails and carry them through.
00:59:40That's the stuff, young fella.
00:59:41That'll put muscles on you.
00:59:42Aye.
00:59:43All we need is the ankle chains.
00:59:45Oh, I'm moaning already, eh?
00:59:47Instant greeting face, that one.
00:59:49One load of sand.
00:59:51He's knackered.
00:59:55Here they are for me.
00:59:56I might be out my class with anybody else in here.
00:59:58But I'll give you her on for it any time you fancy her.
01:00:01Yeah, but maybe I fancy it right now.
01:00:05See you later.
01:00:07Some game this, eh?
01:00:10You go up this here to ask for a wee bit of advice.
01:00:12What do you get?
01:00:13You're the foreman, Bob.
01:00:14You know the job and what's required.
01:00:16That's your responsibility?
01:00:17Ah, well, he didn't know himself, did he?
01:00:19Ah, you're right, Peter.
01:00:21Never mind.
01:00:22Half past two the day or earlier,
01:00:23we'll get into the big one there.
01:00:24My decision.
01:00:26How much sand have you got through there?
01:00:27Eh, eight pails.
01:00:29Right, that'll do.
01:00:30Start with it.
01:00:33Oh, here, Roger.
01:00:40Take this thing and give it a finish.
01:00:41Don't waste too much time on it.
01:00:42All right.
01:00:43All right.
01:00:47Ah!
01:00:48How many?
01:00:50I got a lot of punctured bloody paint.
01:00:52Let's see it.
01:00:56Yeah, that's bad, Charlie.
01:00:57That's very bad.
01:00:58Ed, you'd better get Leslie to phone an ambulance.
01:01:00No.
01:01:01Nae ambulances.
01:01:02Nae hospitals.
01:01:03It's just across the pan.
01:01:04I'll borrow it with a bandage.
01:01:05Oh, Charlie.
01:01:06It looks very bad.
01:01:07No, I'll go upstairs and get a bandage on.
01:01:08I'll borrow it.
01:01:08Ah, but you'll feel nothing, Charlie, honest.
01:01:10Look, you'll clean it up with a bit of spirit.
01:01:12Well, that's sore right enough.
01:01:13And he'll stick in the old needle,
01:01:14draw it together and you're brand new.
01:01:16Shut up, Roger!
01:01:17No going anywhere.
01:01:19I'll go upstairs and get a dressing on it.
01:01:20I'll go with you.
01:01:21I'll go myself!
01:01:22You stay away from me!
01:01:23Everybody!
01:01:25There goes a hero for you.
01:01:27Mr. Universe.
01:01:29Severe case of the vapours
01:01:30in case you had to go to the hospital.
01:01:32That was a bad cut.
01:01:33Aye.
01:01:34Pammy's hand.
01:01:36Nae may her hair grow in there for a while, eh?
01:01:38You're a monster, Matchett.
01:01:40You're a diabolical, lousy big monster.
01:01:42You'll make cuts himself
01:01:43and you start crawling
01:01:44I'm telling you nothing but an imbecile.
01:01:46Away you and foe after spa.
01:01:48Peter's right.
01:01:49Every man's bad luck's your excuse for laughing.
01:01:51Well, he'll no be slinging that weight
01:01:53of his aboot's a hand in you, I'll wager you.
01:01:54That's where he's always had you, isn't it?
01:01:56Had me nothing.
01:02:01I don't know what we're going to do
01:02:03about the big Gilbert if Charlie's out again.
01:02:06Wouldn't like to trust Joe as the fourth man.
01:02:08Oh, Charlie might just make it, Bob.
01:02:10Very doubtful.
01:02:11You got a look at that cut?
01:02:12No, I wasn't too keen on a close inspection.
01:02:15I couldn't tell if it was really bad myself.
01:02:18It's been a while since I saw a really bad injury at the job.
01:02:22I mean, one day a half plate came off the polisher,
01:02:24caught this man in the back of the leg.
01:02:26He never walked right again.
01:02:27Was that Eddie McCants?
01:02:29How'd you know him?
01:02:29No, but I heard about him up at the Robin Glass.
01:02:32Well, that's it.
01:02:33As you said, there's nothing to it.
01:02:35What's next?
01:02:36Just use your eyes, print your line about.
01:02:39You're a gaffer.
01:02:39Hey, Naughty.
01:02:41Come on, we'll set this old mirror back in its frame.
01:02:44Get us a bit of paper off that pile there,
01:02:45seeing these two intelligent fellas have the good sense
01:02:47to set fire to the old gent.
01:03:08That's it.
01:03:10Ah, that's it.
01:03:14Ah, mind you, when you see it in that frame, it's right, you know.
01:03:16Ah, dead right.
01:03:17Didn't even have much of a glance when it first came in,
01:03:19but now that I see it, well, it's all of a piece.
01:03:22Glass and frame in one union, quite delicate and nicely balanced.
01:03:27I don't know who the old fellow was that set his hand at the beveling,
01:03:29but I can read him.
01:03:30I can see he was one of my own kind.
01:03:34When I look in the glass, you know, Norrie,
01:03:36I don't just see myself.
01:03:38I see the age of the job, quality,
01:03:41craftsmanship and the style.
01:03:44Then you'll see the face of the man that was there before me.
01:03:49Here, Leslie, come with Charlie.
01:03:51He's not too bad, Bob.
01:03:53Bad enough, you know,
01:03:53but not so bad that he'd have to go to hospital.
01:03:56You saying that for Charlie's sake or the sake of the big job there?
01:03:58No.
01:03:59The job comes into it, of course,
01:04:01but Charlie's as he can manage.
01:04:02That's right, I'll manage.
01:04:03What, with one horn?
01:04:05Listen, this one horn of mine is as good as two anybody else's in here.
01:04:08And if anybody did to hear that, they better flush their ears out.
01:04:11All right, all right, sure horn.
01:04:12You're gonna start me this afternoon, Bob?
01:04:14That's what I said and that's what we'll do.
01:04:15Listen, Leslie, do us a favour.
01:04:17I mean, why start the day?
01:04:18I promised the job for delivery on Thursday.
01:04:20If we don't get on with it today,
01:04:22it'll still be down here on Wednesday.
01:04:24It's got to be up the stair tomorrow afternoon.
01:04:26I wish you wouldn't put us all in the rack, my lad, Leslie.
01:04:28This afternoon, then.
01:04:30Aye.
01:04:31As you say, as you say.
01:04:33Thanks, Bob.
01:04:33I'll leave you to return.
01:04:35Said it before and I'll say it again.
01:04:37Skinner by name and Skinner by nature.
01:04:39No wonder old Alec Thayer went on the sauce.
01:04:41Hey, Joe, make the tea.
01:04:43It's made.
01:04:44Oh, thank you, son.
01:04:47Anything bad I've said about you the day, Joe?
01:04:49Cancel it.
01:04:49You were a good, clever, conscientious boy.
01:04:52Come on now, lads.
01:04:52Get your tea as quick as you can.
01:04:54There'll be no time later.
01:05:11What's that?
01:05:12Oh, it must be that time of the year again.
01:05:15Is it the army?
01:05:16No, not quite.
01:05:17But it could be.
01:05:18No, no, that's the academy boys, son.
01:05:20The officers' corps, or whatever they call them,
01:05:22off to the summer camp.
01:05:23Mummies and Daddies walking alongside their darlin' boys
01:05:26to see them off at the station.
01:05:28Where shall we going, Will?
01:05:40You'll never see it, youngie.
01:05:42I know if you had six lifetimes.
01:05:44Because they're up there and you're down here.
01:05:46And next year, when they go by, you'll still be down here.
01:05:49But the rest is.
01:05:50No, me. I'll no be here.
01:05:51But no good enough for you, is that it?
01:05:53I didn't say that.
01:05:54Ah, but you fancy yourself up there with that mob?
01:05:56I just fancy getting away to hell out the road.
01:05:58See about the country.
01:05:59And fae what I've heard, you're never done going on
01:06:01about diving up the country yourself.
01:06:03Aye, but on my terms.
01:06:05You're shoving that bay curtain down the roads,
01:06:06a different thing all together fae.
01:06:08Kiss my arse on Daddy's bank book.
01:06:11What are your terms?
01:06:12Well, no money anyway.
01:06:14Maybe a job in a van or something.
01:06:16That old man Alec, he was telling me to blow this job
01:06:18and get out into the fresh air.
01:06:19You listen to him and you'll end up in Carrick Street Model.
01:06:22Did you believe him?
01:06:24Don't know.
01:06:25Made sense the way that he said it.
01:06:27Don't think you fancy this game much, young fella, eh?
01:06:29Don't like some of the folk that's in it.
01:06:31Ah, we're all a wee bit on the rough side.
01:06:33Maybe as time goes on, you won't notice it so much.
01:06:35Aye.
01:06:36Well, lads, it's now or never.
01:06:38You're eyeing, Peter?
01:06:40Bang on.
01:06:40You fit, Charlie?
01:06:41Yes.
01:06:42Right, we'll get Steve-ed into the big in there.
01:06:44Now, you young fellas might see another job like this in your lifetimes,
01:06:47but it's not likely.
01:06:48We start on the grinder there, any sign of the wheel packing in,
01:06:50we transfer it to the old mill.
01:06:52All right, Peter?
01:06:52That's the way it is, Mum.
01:06:53Ruger, you and Joe bring through the trestle board.
01:06:55All right.
01:06:57Me and Charlie will get the clock off.
01:06:59That's the stuff.
01:07:00There, there.
01:07:03Just get there.
01:07:04Just get the board through and lie it up against the job.
01:07:08Ease it over gently to the horizontal.
01:07:10In you go, boys.
01:07:12All right, lie to your end down first.
01:07:15Take it.
01:07:16On you go.
01:07:17Right.
01:07:18Lie it now.
01:07:20Hold this up.
01:07:24Right.
01:07:24Here, a minute.
01:07:25We'll get a hand here.
01:07:27Good.
01:07:27Right.
01:07:27Up she goes.
01:07:28Right.
01:07:29Up she goes.
01:07:30But Charlie.
01:07:31Right.
01:07:32Just take it a step at a time to get used to it.
01:07:35Easy.
01:07:38Put the board, take the vibrations.
01:07:41Remember what I said.
01:07:43Take it.
01:07:44Nice and gently,
01:07:45we'll put a bevel in this thing you could hang in a palace.
01:07:48Yes.
01:07:49Great.
01:07:50Easy now.
01:07:51Get your hands up there.
01:08:06Save the job there.
01:08:07Hey, Joe, get a hole up here a second.
01:08:08Get a hole up here.
01:08:09It's caught up.
01:08:10Good job.
01:08:11Get a hole up here.
01:08:12Hey, hey.
01:08:14Don't get off him now.
01:08:15Just lay him down there.
01:08:17Try and get that up against that wall.
01:08:18Come on, budge.
01:08:19Just go straight back, Charlie.
01:08:21That's it.
01:08:21Come on.
01:08:22Easy more than that.
01:08:23Here we go.
01:08:24Down.
01:08:25Come on.
01:08:28Just let him go.
01:08:30He'll come out here soon.
01:08:33Oh, Charlie,
01:08:34you look as though you're having some bother with that hand, eh?
01:08:36It's fine.
01:08:37I took the full weight of that hen there.
01:08:45What's wrong with you, Noddy?
01:08:46He's dead, isn't he?
01:08:49What Peter?
01:08:50Not at all.
01:08:52I've only seen one.
01:08:54I mean, he looks like it.
01:08:57You'd see him worse than that if you're here long enough.
01:08:58He's coming round a bit now.
01:09:03I don't want to be a boat and the likes of that happens again.
01:09:05I thought we were all going to be minced.
01:09:07Oh, don't make it any worse than it was.
01:09:09It would have been an ordinary job, but wouldn't he have looked so bad?
01:09:10It couldn't have been much worse.
01:09:12He's lucky he's got a joke.
01:09:13And this shop was lucky he's got Peter.
01:09:15He's got the best eye of any beveler I've ever met.
01:09:18And he's lucky he's got you for a china.
01:09:19And don't you forget it.
01:09:24Try and sit up.
01:09:26Try and sit up.
01:09:30How are you feeling, eh?
01:09:31Yeah.
01:09:33What's the thing, then?
01:09:35How are you doing, old son?
01:09:37You're a guy far away.
01:09:40I've got to meet this black fellow in the corner.
01:09:43Ah, sure, sure.
01:09:43You've got a parcel for me.
01:09:45Sure, sir.
01:09:48Ah.
01:09:50Ah.
01:09:51Ah.
01:09:51I very nearly didn't make it yet.
01:09:54My fingers went your own funny.
01:09:59And then...
01:10:00And then...
01:10:02You slept away, eh?
01:10:04For your life was gone.
01:10:07Ah.
01:10:10Ah.
01:10:12Ah.
01:10:15Ah.
01:10:18Ah.
01:10:18Ah.
01:10:19Ah.
01:10:19And we're late.
01:10:20We're not late, Peter, no?
01:10:21No?
01:10:21No?
01:10:22We're in the shop.
01:10:24Ah.
01:10:25That's funny.
01:10:26I thought...
01:10:26Easy, Peter, easy.
01:10:27Huh?
01:10:28Easy.
01:10:30Ah.
01:10:31Ah.
01:10:33Ah.
01:10:33Did I pass you, Bob?
01:10:36Yes.
01:10:39Break it.
01:10:44I'll take the right door.
01:10:46I'll ring the face up here.
01:10:47I feel it.
01:10:48I'll hang it back here.
01:10:50Ah.
01:10:54Ah.
01:10:56Ah.
01:10:56Ah.
01:10:57Ah.
01:10:57Ah.
01:10:57Ah.
01:10:58That big bastard tell me to fall off the spa, didn't he?
01:11:02I believe he mentioned it.
01:11:04It must have stuck in my mind.
01:11:12You challenged me a while ago.
01:11:14I was browned off.
01:11:16Was he needling you all that much?
01:11:18No, but he was.
01:11:20Watch your mouth, you. Don't worry, I'm saying nothing.
01:11:23All I'm waiting for is a five o'clock whistle, and I'm jacking it in.
01:11:27And what your old man say when you tell him?
01:11:30He'll say, try something else.
01:11:33What was it that finally got you?
01:11:36Seeing Peter there was at it.
01:11:38Didn't he help?
01:11:39I thought that's what it was that sickened you.
01:11:41Did it remind you of something?
01:11:44You keep your mouth shut, and I'll keep mine.
01:11:48I'm easy.
01:11:50Aye, he's not his help.
01:11:52Try him with some of that tea, Joe, if there's any left.
01:11:56Sit down there, Peter.
01:12:03Says he's leaving the day, Bob.
01:12:05Who's that?
01:12:06Him, Norrie.
01:12:08Now, is that a fact, eh?
01:12:10Well, I don't suppose one boy here or there will make much difference to this trade.
01:12:17Hey, Leslie.
01:12:18Can you hear me?
01:12:20Will you come with the head of this chair a minute? I want a word with you.
01:12:23Yeah.
01:12:24Take that tea slow, Peter.
01:12:26Do you good.
01:12:27Right.
01:12:28I think you can put your jackets on, too.
01:12:31Leslie.
01:12:33I think we might as well pack it in for the day.
01:12:36I mean, Charlie's not fit.
01:12:38Peter's at one of his turns.
01:12:39I'll have to see him up the road.
01:12:40No sense in the rest of us hanging on.
01:12:42What do you say?
01:12:43Hold on, Bob.
01:12:44I was on the phone.
01:12:45I'll have to finish the call and think about it.
01:12:46There's nothing they think about.
01:12:48If Peter and me are not here, there's nothing anybody else will do.
01:12:51I'll finish the call and blow the whistle.
01:12:53It might take a few minutes.
01:12:58He's got to be the manager, hasn't he?
01:13:00He'd blow the whistle with his own time.
01:13:03I'm sorry, Bob.
01:13:04Wasn't he you I meant when I said I didn't like some of the folk in here?
01:13:07Don't apologise to me.
01:13:09Didn't think you would stick it long anyway.
01:13:12That's how it goes.
01:13:13New folk don't want to come into the game.
01:13:15Some of them that are actually done give a toss for it.
01:13:17Save your apologies.
01:13:19Makes no odds to me.
01:13:22How are you shaping up there, Peter?
01:13:23Oh, sorry.
01:13:25There you are, son.
01:13:35There's only one thing you missed in this job, Mike.
01:13:38What was that?
01:13:39He didn't get baptised.
01:13:47What are you doing, Roger?
01:13:48For Christ's sake, you want to kill the boy?
01:13:50Yeah, I'm just waiting, he's hit.
01:13:53Couldn't let him go, could you?
01:13:54No, no.
01:13:54You had to get the needle in.
01:13:56You might have drunk him, you idiot.
01:13:58Up him.
01:13:59He's no one of us.
01:14:01Didn't he deserve that anyway.
01:14:08Charlie, Nancy was in here at dinner time, and the Roger tried to shag her.
01:14:16I'll take the other rod.
01:14:21I'm one-handed, Roger.
01:14:23What that boy says is true.
01:14:24I'll take you.
01:14:25I'll take you and mash you into the slurry.
01:14:27Look, he's a liar, Charlie.
01:14:29Honest to God.
01:14:30In my old lady's grave.
01:14:32I gave you my genuine Bible oath.
01:14:34He's a liar.
01:14:34What made him say it, then?
01:14:35I don't know.
01:14:37I honestly don't know.
01:14:39Maybe he couldn't take the curtain and he made it up for badness.
01:14:44I believe you.
01:14:46Now listen, boy.
01:14:48That's the second time you raised Nancy's name today.
01:14:52And each time you've soiled it.
01:14:57Oh!
01:15:50What's the matter.
01:15:51Sonny.
01:15:54Have they been given to ya rough Ann?
