00:08Oi, will you start giving it some of that?
00:11I'm getting very giddy, Morris.
00:16For God's sakes, this was your idea.
00:20You're not one of my better ones, are they?
00:24Cohortier! Cast to drift to an open paddle boat!
00:27Ha-ha-ha! Look live in, Jim, lad, or it's the cat of knives for ye! Ha-ha!
00:35You are a miserable kid.
00:40Listen, it's probably escaped your notice, Captain Bleed and Bird's Eye.
00:46But my game's going to potty.
00:49That one I lost this morning was the third one in two days.
00:52I have noticed, Mr Christian, we're down nigh on a tour.
00:56I know how much we're down. You don't have to remind me.
00:58All right, all right, all right, I'm just telling you.
01:12Pat.
01:17Now, would you look at that?
01:29Yeah, what's...
01:31We've just robbed your till.
01:33What's... Pat?
01:36Anna!
01:37God, what are you doing here?
01:43Come in, twenty-four, your time's up!
01:49It's us.
01:51Eh?
01:54Oh, yeah. Right, come on. I'll race you back.
01:58Come on.
01:59No, stop it, will you?
02:00You're soaking me.
02:01Come on!
02:02Last one back buys a beer.
02:04Top of water won't hurt you.
02:06Come on, you plant!
02:07Well, you pack it in, you'll have us over.
02:19All right, Morris, what is it?
02:21Come on.
02:22You've had the raven hunt for the last two days.
02:25Hey!
02:26You two, Herbert, it's in twenty-four!
02:28Come on in, you!
02:30Time's up!
02:31All right, Popeye!
02:32Morris.
02:33We heard you the first time.
02:34Morris, would you sit down, you'll have us in a flippin' drink.
02:37I ain't too clever at swimming.
02:39Figgin' melt on, matey.
02:44Trippy.
02:46Let's go and wait in the car.
02:47Yeah, no.
02:48It's only flat at the bottom.
02:49I've seen eggs like that.
02:55Get up.
03:03This is for kids, really, mate.
03:05Thanks for taking us, Daddy.
03:06Oh, very funny, I'm sure.
03:09No.
03:22I'll finish it.
03:24I'll have the lawn.
03:25You sit for them.
03:27Cheers, Rob.
03:28Cheers, Bobby.
03:29It's great to see you back on the mainland again.
03:31I must say that.
03:32All the best, son.
03:33Cheers.
03:35Well, I suppose then, sir.
03:39Things are fine, Robert.
03:40Fine.
03:41Yeah.
03:43What's up, Pat?
03:44Nothing.
03:45Nothing at all.
03:46Come on, no more lies.
03:51Pat's leg was very badly damaged and our club was bombed out.
03:56Bombed out?
03:57Don't be quiet, woman.
03:58Three months ago, a bomb destroyed 15 years of hard work in 10 seconds.
04:04Clubs in ruins.
04:07God.
04:10Why didn't you let me know?
04:12What could you have done for us, Bob?
04:13Well, blood.
04:16Oh, I don't know.
04:19Why your place?
04:20Why anyone's, Robert?
04:23Yeah, but why a snooker all?
04:24This is what I can't...
04:25Because the most troops used to come in and play there when they were off duty.
04:28I was raised to the ground in seconds.
04:32Pat here was clearing up in the back room when it happened, you know.
04:37God, he was lucky to have...
04:48What are you going to do now?
04:52We're back on the road.
04:54Oh, you're joking.
04:56It ain't the same, Pat.
04:58Flipping lots happened in 15 years, mate.
05:01You know what I think it is, Maurice?
05:04What?
05:06Well, your game's a bit off.
05:08You're not getting enough practice.
05:10You're stale.
05:10No, I'm not.
05:13Stale.
05:15You make me sound like last week's bread.
05:17Ah, talking of bread, tanks are very low.
05:19You can't afford to lose no more games.
05:21Well, this is precisely it, isn't it?
05:23Eh?
05:23When we're winning, it's us.
05:24When we're losing, it's me.
05:26Don't worry about all...
05:27What I'm talking about makes sense.
05:29What we've got to do is get up Bobby Weeks's gaff, the emblems.
05:31Closest all for practice, and it's all we can afford.
05:37Hello, Mickey.
05:38Just the fella I'm looking for.
05:39Watch it, Benny.
05:40Well, well, well.
05:42Benny the Bear.
05:43Just like your sister you are.
05:45Oi, let's keep it nice and friendly, shall we?
05:47Maurice, excuse us a minute.
05:48I've got a bit of business on with Benny.
05:50Well, I haven't.
05:51You cunt-up merchant.
05:53Maurice!
05:55He's a stroppy little git sometimes.
05:57It's a wonder nobody ain't giving him a good idea.
05:59He'll have to climb over me first, Uncle.
06:01I've got that little item coming tomorrow.
06:03You still want it, I hope.
06:05Er, well...
06:06Well, I've weighed in already.
06:07Yeah, all right, Benny.
06:08Yeah, I want it.
06:08Just as well.
06:10You'd better come with us to pick it up.
06:11Tomorrow morning, then.
06:13Yeah, yeah, fine.
06:14Fine.
06:14Benny, you still get up the emblems, don't you?
06:17Yeah, why?
06:21Benny, when I want to see your little phone?
06:23Oh, yeah.
06:30Well, why can't you go and see him?
06:32Benny!
06:33All I'm asking is for you to suss out the fool.
06:36Look, all you've got to do is start chatting to Bobby, casually mention my name and see
06:40what he says.
06:41Look, I've known Bobby as long as I've known you, old son.
06:43He's as good as gold.
06:45He don't bear no grudge.
06:46Mickey, you know that.
06:47I know he is.
06:47It's just that we had a little upset a few weeks ago and we ain't spoke since.
06:51That's all.
06:52Oh, yeah?
06:52What was that all about?
06:53It's a long story.
06:54You're going to see him for us a while.
06:55What?
06:56Terrific.
06:56Better slate about the other business?
06:58Yeah, all right.
06:59I'll let you know what weeks he says and all.
07:01Yeah.
07:01By the way, you've got a flat.
07:24It's my wall, mate.
07:26What are you playing?
07:27Wembley.
07:27Wembley.
07:28Can I have a game?
07:29All right.
07:30No mucking about.
07:31We'll play series.
07:33Makes a change.
07:36Matthew, what's the usual?
07:38Oh, nice players here.
07:40Come on, mate.
07:42Rapid players.
07:43Yeah.
07:44Hey, mate.
07:45Woo.
07:46Hey, mate.
07:46What's your name?
07:47Oi, I'm pink, boy.
07:49That's a spell.
07:50You don't get a pair of music.
07:52What a bit.
07:54You're a good tackle, mate.
07:56Come on, Mo.
07:56I've gotten on a date.
07:58Only one team in this pocket, sir.
08:00Talk to me.
08:00Oh, stop.
08:01That's a little hole.
08:11I've still got two days.
08:13You've got one and a quarter.
08:14What's with this visit, then?
08:16You're like that tire-toe rag.
08:18Always a letdown.
08:19Oh, very good, Billy.
08:20I've missed you and all.
08:22We're like a red letter, you see.
08:24Now, if you ignore the final demand, we're going to have to come round and cut you off.
08:29And 1,500 sovs prevents what you might call a permanent disconnection.
08:34Do you know what I mean?
08:35I know what you mean.
08:36Your subtlety's won me over.
08:37Listen, you flash monkey.
08:39If I had my way, I'd cut you off right now.
08:42Now, if you don't add me up by the day after tomorrow, we're coming down to see you,
08:47and you are going to get well and truly sorted out.
08:50All right?
08:51You're all done.
08:52No, I ain't.
08:55I'll tell you something else.
08:56Brindley's brought himself into a canning factory down in Wobbing.
08:59Well, I'd like to see you in next week's badge.
09:02Dog's meat.
09:04Enriched with Mickey bone jelly.
09:15He's nodded off in front of the box.
09:17Sorry, Bob.
09:18I didn't mean to impose.
09:19Oh, shut up, Annie.
09:20You're not imposing.
09:21And I'm insisting, remember?
09:23You can stay here as long as you need to.
09:27A couple of days will be on our way.
09:28Honestly, Anna, there's no lash, kid.
09:30You just stay here as long as you want.
09:32Thanks.
09:33How about a cup of tea?
09:34Oh, lovely.
09:37Well, you do realise, I suppose, how hard it's going to be going back on the road.
09:41I've tried to tell him, but he won't listen.
09:43Just like the good old days he keeps saying.
09:46He's dreaming, of course.
09:49Hello, Lord.
09:50Hello, Dog.
09:51I forgot your key.
09:52Yeah.
09:52Where's Mo?
09:53Morris?
09:53He came in a little while ago, then went back out.
09:57You two been at it again?
09:59Why?
10:00Did he say anything?
10:01Not on so many words.
10:03You know what he's like when he's got a cub on.
10:05Yeah, then I just.
10:06He's worse than you sometimes.
10:07Stroppy little git.
10:08Oh, thanks very much.
10:10And how come you're so dirty?
10:12Puncture.
10:13Did he say where he was going?
10:14The proper thing.
10:16No match on tonight, then?
10:17No.
10:18Just as well the way he's been playing.
10:19He's been doing all my dough, I tell you.
10:22He's dough as well, Mickey.
10:24Sometimes I think you forget that.
10:26What are you on about, Tina?
10:27The money.
10:29You give the impression that it's all your money.
10:32Oh, yeah.
10:34Yeah, you do.
10:36Got any grub?
10:37I'm starved.
10:41Going back on the road's not going to help much, is it?
10:43I mean, it's got a lot of hard graft, that's all.
10:45I have spent weeks trying to talk him out of that.
10:48Oh, Bobby, when I think of all that travelling,
10:51all those shabby hotel rooms.
10:55Well, look, Anna.
10:57Maybe I could fix up a few games.
10:59I don't mind trying.
11:00Up here, do you mean?
11:03Could you?
11:04I don't see why not.
11:05Mind you, they're not going to be mugs.
11:07You could end up doing all your dough.
11:09Better than Birmingham or Leeds or some other lonely town.
11:13Bob, that's a big flavour.
11:15Let's make no promises, eh?
11:16Just see what happens.
11:18Oh, Bobby, thank you.
11:20Thanks.
11:21All right.
11:22Put him down, missus.
11:23You don't know where he's been.
11:26Oh, watch it, Benny.
11:27How's your luck?
11:28Not half as good as your own, Bob.
11:35Ah, cheer up, son.
11:37It might never happen.
11:39It's just a trouble, innit?
11:40It's never going to happen.
11:45Oh, dear.
11:48Oh.
11:57Hello, look, all right?
11:58I am now.
11:59You're here.
12:00Oh, you are a smoothie-run pal.
12:06Hey, you and him had another ruck?
12:09No.
12:11It's worse than having kids sometimes, Ron.
12:13Now, what would you know about her, eh?
12:18Hey, any phone calls?
12:20Yeah.
12:22Bargain, Benny.
12:27Oh, yeah.
12:28I'll serve him wrong.
12:30OK, love.
12:31Tina.
12:32Well?
12:33No more, Mickey.
12:34I don't want any bent gear in that flat, right?
12:37Will you belt up a minute?
12:38Yeah?
12:40No message, son.
12:41Said he'd belt you at home tonight.
12:45Thank you, Ronald.
12:48Oi, I am a black belt in Kama Sutra, so beware, ring something.
12:58Oh, yeah.
13:13I'm sorry, girl.
13:14I must have dropped off.
13:22How are you feeling?
13:24Oh, don't fuss, girl.
13:26I feel grand, just grand.
13:29Would you like some tea?
13:30Aye.
13:31That'd be fine, just fine.
13:33Where's Robert?
13:34He's down in the hall.
13:35They're very busy tonight.
13:37Aye.
13:39Aye.
14:17Would my Lordships care for tea?
14:19Mm, milk, two sugars, slightly blown.
14:23Maurice?
14:25Old beg says, pardon, me.
14:27Mm, please.
14:30Good here, isn't it?
14:31I've been working all night, and I have to make the tea.
14:36And I'll give you nag-nag, Mickey Nose.
14:41Eyes in the back of her head, that girl.
14:43Be silent, wench, and make the tea.
14:47That's the way I treat them, son, you know?
14:49Yeah.
14:55Maurice, what is it?
14:56You're doing my brain in you are.
14:58Nothing!
15:03I just feel like being quiet.
15:06Okay?
15:07Okay.
15:13You ain't still got the jaw about losing a few games, have you?
15:15I told you.
15:25What?
15:27No, it's me.
15:30Yeah, hello, Benny.
15:34How much?
15:37Benny, that's a bit strong, son, innit?
15:44Yeah.
15:45Yeah, yeah, all right.
15:48Well, of course I've got the dough.
15:51Benny!
15:52Would I lie to you?
15:55Yeah.
15:5611.30 at the dogs, I'll be there.
15:58And Benny, for that sort of dough, better be the business,
16:01or you and me fall out.
16:02Yeah.
16:03Yeah, I'll go and see the man tomorrow.
16:05I'll see you, Benny.
16:06Cheers.
16:14What's up?
16:19I'll never mind me too and go to bed.
16:22See you.
16:22What have I done?
16:24Where are you going?
16:25To bed.
16:29He's about as happy as a flipping eunuch in a brothel, innit?
16:33I meant it, Mickey.
16:36No more bent gear, right?
16:39Tina.
16:40Make the tea.
16:53I meant it, Mickey.
16:58Morris!
17:00Morris!
17:00Morris, are you up?
17:02Yes, Morris?
17:02Oh, Tina.
17:03Sorry, love.
17:03Look, it's in my poxy shoes.
17:04I can't find her things anywhere.
17:06I saw one of them in the lounge.
17:07Morris!
17:08Tina, do you mind?
17:09You've got a voice like a foghorn.
17:10Well, you get him up, then.
17:12The lazy sod's always last.
17:13Yes.
17:14Morris!
17:16Morris, are you going to get up,
17:18or shall I get a bucket of water?
17:19I'm up.
17:20Oh, come on, son.
17:21Look at you.
17:22I've got things to do.
17:22You'll never be ready.
17:23Oh, it's up.
17:25Listen, go ahead without me.
17:26I'll see you in a dilly's for breakfast.
17:27I can't.
17:27I've got to meet Benny in half an hour.
17:28Sod Benny!
17:33I've just got up your nose.
17:34If you really want to know, pal, you have.
17:35Yeah, whatever's going on?
17:36Nothing, dog.
17:37All right, come on.
17:38Spit it out.
17:38What is it now?
17:39Spit it out.
17:40OK, listen.
17:41This deal with Benny.
17:42Yeah?
17:42The bargain.
17:43Yeah, what about it?
17:44You're going to be using our money, Mick, not yours.
17:46Isn't that right?
17:47All these silly games you're playing, man.
17:48All this wheeling and dealing.
17:50I'm not interested.
17:51All I want to do is play snooker.
17:53I think you'd better go in there
17:54and get out the right side of the bed.
17:56Fair enough.
17:57Yeah, please, Morris.
17:58What is it, though?
17:58I don't know.
17:59All I want to do is play.
18:16He's got a point, love.
18:18Don't start, Tina.
18:20Well, it is his money as well, you know.
18:21Tina!
18:27Like a little selfish boy at times, let me know.
18:31I don't know.
19:05You're late, son.
19:07So? Give me 100 lines.
19:09Oh, what's up with you, then?
19:11Got the raving on?
19:14You got it?
19:16Yeah, it's in the motor.
19:17Exactly what you ordered.
19:18Come on, Gil.
19:21I don't know why I'm bothering.
19:23Oh, you have got it bad.
19:25What's the matter?
19:25Mum give you a knock back, then?
19:27Benny, there are times when you're as funny as a dog...
19:29Sorry. Sorry.
19:31Have you got the wedge?
19:34Yeah?
19:35Yeah.
19:37Got it.
19:37It's, er...
19:39I've got a bit of business on, Benny.
19:40Oh, come on, Mickey. You're trying it on.
19:42You're telling me, pork is.
19:43You'll get your dough.
19:45I need it as dressing until I see Bobby Wicks.
19:48Oh, come on, Mickey.
19:49I've already weighed in on this one.
19:50Benny, me old fruit.
19:51Have I ever given you that before?
19:53No, because I ain't ever given you the chance, old son.
19:55Give us this one chance, Benny.
19:56I'm pleading with you.
19:57Oh, you'll get your dough.
19:58Oh, I promise. Just this once, eh?
20:00Oh, it's against my better.
20:03One last favour?
20:05Oh, leave off, Mickey.
20:06You've got more front than south end.
20:07Yeah, I know.
20:08Listen, tell you what.
20:09You deliver said item to the Crown,
20:11I'm going to shoot across and set things up with Bobby Wicks.
20:14He did say something about a money match, didn't he?
20:16Yeah, he's got some friends over from the old country or something.
20:20What, Wales?
20:22Triffic.
20:22I'll see you later.
20:23You make sure you bloody do.
20:26Oi!
20:30Want to buy a dog?
20:41Submit.
20:46I'm on my way, pal.
20:49You mark my words.
20:55I don't know when it's going to be, eh?
20:57But I'm coming.
21:21You got a licence for music, or what?
21:23Hey, do what?
21:26Oh.
21:28Hello, Mickey.
21:30What?
21:31How's Tricks? All right?
21:33Yeah.
21:34All right.
21:35Bad.
21:36Can't complain.
21:39How's things with you?
21:42All right, you know, so-so.
21:43A few ups and downs.
21:44You know what it is.
21:48Is it quiet, innit?
21:50Yeah, well, you know how things go.
21:53Yeah, I know.
21:54I know how that is.
21:56So-so.
21:58Look at us.
21:58We're a lot of kids at school.
22:00It's like being back in a playground again, innit?
22:02Fainites.
22:03Fainites, yeah.
22:14He's got it bad, love.
22:16I've never seen him this bad before.
22:19They're driving me bonkers, the pair of them.
22:23Autistic temperament.
22:27I'll see if I can cheer him up a bit.
22:30Well, you couldn't make him anywhere, Thrawn, that's for sure.
22:43So, what is it then, son, that might not happen?
22:49Well, it's no good bottling it all up.
22:53Please bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
22:56Hail Mary, Hail Mary.
22:59You're like a little hedgehog, you, ain't you?
23:01Trouble comes, you curl up inside yourself and get all prickly.
23:04What's it got to do with you?
23:06Well, it's just that you and your sister
23:10and Mr Get-Rich-Quick nodes
23:12are the nearest thing I've got to my family, that's all.
23:17Sorry.
23:20I'm sorry, Ron.
23:21No, it's all right, son.
23:23It's not a problem.
23:26What's the rub this time, then?
23:27It's lots of little things he doesn't understand, Ron.
23:31I want to be a pro.
23:32A proper player.
23:34And Mickey doesn't understand that?
23:37Well, yeah, I mean, he understands that,
23:39but it's everything else he's got to get into,
23:41wheeling and dealing.
23:42Old habits die hard, though.
23:44I mean, they deal to that lad.
23:45It's like a round of applause to an actor.
23:47It's in the blood.
23:48I know.
23:49It's the strokes, Ron.
23:52Stunned.
23:52You wouldn't believe what we've got to do just to get a game.
23:54Oh, wouldn't I?
23:57Well, yeah, you would.
23:59It's just so far away from what I want.
24:02Oh, no, hold on, son.
24:04You're going off at half-cock now.
24:06Did you play much before you came down here?
24:08I mean, in Liverpool.
24:09Of course I did.
24:10For money?
24:13Well,
24:15well, no, not really.
24:16The old bluey here and there.
24:18So all this talk about you becoming a proper pro player
24:21has come about since you came down here.
24:23Well, yeah.
24:24Yeah, since you've been with Mr Fixit, in fact.
24:27Eh?
24:28Now, don't rush, Mo.
24:30Give your man there a chance.
24:32He'll learn.
24:34I hope so.
24:35Yeah.
24:36You know, when you two first teamed up,
24:38your sister was very worried about you.
24:40Oh, yeah?
24:41She figured that Mickey would end up hurting you.
24:44Me, I figured it was the other way round.
24:46You'd end up hurting Mickey.
24:49What are you all about?
24:51Ambition's OK, son.
24:53But just remember,
24:55it very often leaves a little trail of pain in its weight.
24:58Know what I mean?
25:23How does it look?
25:24I think you've got yourself a match.
25:26Oh, great.
25:27He's a bit short on the old money,
25:28but he reckons he'll raise it by tonight.
25:30Tonight?
25:31Why not?
25:35You know what, Adam?
25:37It's a pretty good play, you know.
25:38Yeah.
25:39I really rate the kid, as it happens.
25:41He's been a tight match, huh?
25:42Just like the old days, eh?
25:54Want to buy a dog?
26:01All right, team?
26:02Shouldn't you be working your stall, Benny?
26:04Not a problem, love.
26:06Got a couple of good-willing youngsters doing that.
26:08Doing my bit for the young unemployed I am.
26:10Yeah, I bet.
26:12Are you, er, drinking, or is this just a social call?
26:15I like how, Tyler.
26:18Where's the new Jerry Cane Higgins, then?
26:20Over there.
26:22I wouldn't go near him if I were you.
26:25Oh, well, I'd better leave this for you, then.
26:28A little present from his partner.
26:30From Mickey?
26:32What is it?
26:33Like I said, a little present.
26:35I hope that ain't swag, Benny.
26:37Mr Palmer.
26:39Would I bring anything dodgy in here?
26:41I ask you.
26:42I mean, you being ex-old Bill.
26:44Well, you know.
26:46Cheers.
26:50What's that?
26:51What, you know?
26:53For you?
26:53For me.
27:00Well, go on, open it.
27:01You'll like it.
27:11Look at this.
27:14Oh, Morris.
27:16It's beautiful.
27:19It's fantastic.
27:21And made out of the best tree wood, that is.
27:24My brother-in-law makes them.
27:25That's his game.
27:27Oh, Mick.
27:29Oh, Lord.
27:31Was that what Mickey was on about when you phoned him last night?
27:34Yeah, me brother-in-law wanted Mo's old cue so that he could work out all the bits.
27:39You know, the weight and all that gubbins.
27:41I called him selfish this morning.
27:44Oh, dear.
27:46Somebody's got to eat some humble pie.
27:50Both pieces, I think.
27:52Better get your knife and fork out now, then.
28:01What's all this?
28:01What's going on?
28:03Oh, you got it.
28:04You like it?
28:05Oh, Mickie.
28:06Tim, oh, Tim.
28:07I'm sorry.
28:08It's fantastic.
28:09Sorry.
28:10Oi, Lucy, you're squashing me out.
28:12Oh, Mickie.
28:16You checked it out.
28:17I only got Benny's word.
28:17It's the business.
28:20Well, it's like you, then, innit?
28:22The business.
28:23Oh, don't you start, Morris.
28:24People might get the wrong idea.
28:26See you then.
28:28I've got things to do.
28:29Places to go.
28:30People to see.
28:31Oh, leave us out, will you?
28:33Yeah.
28:37What?
28:40Oh, there.
28:41Listen, don't worry about that, Benny.
28:43I'll weigh you out tonight, OK?
28:44All right.
28:45Tonight, no longer.
28:47Otherwise, I'll weigh you out.
28:49Benny.
28:50Terrific.
28:51See you later.
28:59No.
29:00Oh, don't mess about, Ron.
29:02Who's messing about, eh?
29:06All right.
29:07What are you after?
29:09We're back in on a money game.
29:12Great.
29:14Yeah?
29:16500 quid straight on a 13-framer.
29:19Great.
29:21So, I'm a one a light.
29:28I've got the phone back in half for now.
29:29Let the geezer know if I can ante up.
29:32Mickey.
29:33Put that on.
29:35I wouldn't ask if there's any other way, would I?
29:43Cheers, Ross.
29:50Well, it's awful.
29:51I've got the phone probably about the game.
29:53It won't be a minute.
29:54Why can't you do that for me?
29:55See, now, it's very important.
29:57It won't take long.
29:59He's some silly.
30:00He don't want to know how much money he spends.
30:03It's not for women's ears.
30:06You're getting just like his lordship, you are.
30:09Bob?
30:10Hello, son.
30:12Yeah, listen.
30:13You've got yourself a game.
30:16That's right.
30:16500 solves on a 13-framer.
30:19You have got it, my son.
30:25Do what, Bob?
30:33Surely you jest, uncle.
30:39Yeah.
30:56How are you feeling?
30:57All right?
30:57Great.
30:58It's good to be back here, you know.
31:01Morris, sit down a minute, will you?
31:03What's wrong?
31:04Nothing's wrong.
31:05Sit down.
31:09There's something you ought to know.
31:11How's your cue?
31:12All right?
31:13Brilliant.
31:13Thanks.
31:14What, sir?
31:15What, um, you see, what I'm trying to say is,
31:18have you got your chalk?
31:20Of course, I've got my chalk.
31:22Go ahead.
31:23Uh, look, it's like this, Morris.
31:26Hey, who's here?
31:28Happy day, my lads.
31:30He did a night off.
31:32Thought I'd come along.
31:32Good as gold, Ron.
31:33Hello, love.
31:35Hello, doll.
31:36You don't mind, do you?
31:37What?
31:38No, no, I think it's great.
31:39I think women in snooker horse.
31:42Right.
31:44Well, it's for a drink.
31:45Uh, light ale, please.
31:46Ron and a coat for the lad.
31:47Uh, go and help Ron with the drinks.
31:5116.
31:52Yeah.
31:54Hello, Caleb.
31:57What's going on?
31:58Right then, Michael.
32:00Are we ready?
32:01Uh, yeah, Pat.
32:02Just give me a minute.
32:03I've got to talk to my...
32:06See, this is what I've been trying to explain, Morris.
32:11Whenever you're ready, young man.
32:24Well, why the hell can you tell me, eh?
32:26It would be great to be consulted, you know, occasionally,
32:28seeing as it is me who's happened to get up and play.
32:30Morris, if you just belt up and listen...
32:31Go, Ed.
32:32Look, I can't see the problem.
32:33It's the bird you're playing.
32:34What's the difference?
32:35I thought it was the paddy geezer I was supposed to be playing.
32:36What's going on, then?
32:37Please, Tina, you can't pull out now.
32:39I've taken the bet.
32:40If you pull out, we lose by forfeit.
32:42What's all this in the world, Nicky?
32:43Ron, do you mind?
32:44You set me up against a frigging Judy, hasn't you?
32:48What's the funny?
32:48That's not...
32:49It's not funny.
32:50That's not funny, Ron.
32:51I mean, it's the bird you're playing.
32:52What's the difference?
32:53We're called bears because we pick up worms.
32:55What?
32:56Hey, you've got no choice now.
32:58Simple as that.
32:59He's frightened, that's all.
33:01Frightened of being beaten by Judy.
33:03Tina, please.
33:04Right, right, look.
33:05Look, leave it out.
33:07I've taken a notice.
33:07He's on a wind-up.
33:08You get me into some bleeding situations sometimes.
33:11No.
33:11Problem, Nick?
33:12No problem, Bob, no.
33:14Whatever gave you that idea.
33:27Ed's.
33:29Your choice.
33:31Judy's first.
33:43Why don't you go first?
33:44Sure.
33:48You are a moody little git sometimes, you are.
33:54Look at Moe's bush.
33:55He's a stroppy little so-and-so.
33:57I hope she beats him.
33:59Oh, no, you don't.
34:01Not really.
34:03Seven, right, though, wouldn't it?
34:05Don't bear thinking about.
34:08The money issue will pass.
34:27I told you, you should have.
34:28Shut up!
34:45I'm warning you.
34:46You say nothing.
34:47Judy's first, eh?
34:52Bleeding plum.
34:56One.
34:59Four.
35:02Four.
35:03One.
35:10One.
35:11Four.
35:16Three.
35:18Two.
35:19Two.
35:22Uh-oh.
35:238, 9, 16, 17, 22, 23,
35:5728, oh dear.
36:03Jeez.
36:05All right, Mick?
36:06Yeah, yeah, I'm all right, Bob.
36:08Kid always loses the first frame, bad habits.
36:11Yeah, I remember.
36:13See who's in, huh?
36:15Oh, no, no, not now.
36:18I don't know what they want.
36:27Well, well, well, well, well.
36:29Look who it ain't.
36:31Just mine.
36:32Very thoughtful, sir.
36:34Cheers.
36:34Look, leave it out, Uncle.
36:35I'm working, OK?
36:36Oh, super mouth as well.
36:38Better than mine.
36:39Thanks very much.
36:41Don't push it, Uncle.
36:44All right, Mick, leave the tray.
36:46I'll have a drink sent down.
36:47Put it down.
36:50Leave it, Bill.
36:58What's the problem, Mick?
37:00No problem, Ron.
37:02Everything's fine.
37:05Evening, Mr Palmer.
37:06It's nice to see you out and about.
37:08Oh, I do get about a bit, nob.
37:09Know what I mean?
37:10I'll have the drink sent down, Mick.
37:12Go on.
37:13Don't.
37:14Don't you even think about it, Uncle.
37:19Please, Mick.
37:20It's all right, Bob.
37:21Take the drinks down.
37:21Everything's fine.
37:26Right.
37:27Were you talking to me or chewing a brick?
37:32Come on, Billy boy.
37:34We've got a bit of business elsewhere.
37:39It's a brand new day tomorrow, pal.
37:41And it's still in its wrapping.
37:43Dog meat's got a long shelf life.
37:45Get!
37:47Well, you still can.
37:48That's good advice.
37:50Go on, go.
38:00All right.
38:01Then I'll push your blood and luck.
38:03Ain't it, son?
38:05Go.
38:05Yeah.
38:08Yeah.
38:34Framed to Mrs. Kirby.
38:36Mrs. Kirby leads two frames to nil.
38:43Morris, what's going on?
38:45The woman is a player.
38:46What's going on?
38:47Morris.
38:49For God's sakes, will you do something?
38:52It's OK.
38:59Sometimes you're disgusting, you are.
39:03Turn frame, Mrs. Kirby, to break.
39:22Smith, F.A. again.
39:25Morris.
39:27Pull your finger out.
39:28We're well up on offer on this.
39:30That's all the dough we've got.
39:49Did you hear what I said?
39:50Yes, I heard you.
39:51What do you want me to do?
39:53Would you start playing?
39:54You're playing like a flipping wet weekend.
39:55Yeah.
39:56You do better.
39:57Yeah.
39:59Morris, I've got...
40:02We've got to get a result here.
40:07Do you know what I'm saying, Morris?
40:10I'm not blind.
40:11I saw them up at the bar.
40:14Saved Mickey's legs week again, right?
40:16I told you, Witsa goes a square, Brindley.
40:18What have you got to go and do, wheeling and dealing?
40:20Morris, please.
40:21I just love all the pressure.
40:23Yeah.
40:23Yeah.
40:24Yeah.
40:24Yeah.
40:26Yeah.
40:28Yeah.
40:31Go on.
40:47Eight.
40:54Nine.
40:58Eight.
41:12Seven.
41:14Nine.
41:17Nine.
41:18Nine.
41:19Nine.
41:20Nine.
41:20Nine.
41:20Nine.
41:20Seven.
41:22Nine.
41:24Three.
41:25Seven.
41:38One.
42:08Oh, God!
42:10Oh, God!
42:10Oh, my God!
42:10I'm going to have this all right.
42:12Oh, God!
42:12He's got a bugger!
42:13Oh, God!
42:15Gee, I'll tell you some Kirby and get her a drink up.
42:18It'll take off.
42:19He ain't?
42:20No, no, not yet.
42:21I'll get Bobby as well.
42:22Yeah.
42:23OK.
42:23It'll move back.
42:28This breather's a lot better now.
42:32Sorry, Lord.
42:33You just lie still, old son.
42:36Hang on.
42:38So if you can find a blanket.
42:39I guess tell him you're a person.
42:43Mickey!
42:44What?
42:45Not now.
42:48Uh, it's business.
42:51Uh, see?
42:54Rules, isn't it?
42:56Uh, you playing on?
42:59Well, of course she's not playing on.
43:02I don't know how you're going to ask such a thing.
43:07Take the money.
43:14Mickey, you wouldn't.
43:17Rules, teen.
43:20Business is business, isn't it?
43:32Oh, we can't.
43:34She was winning.
43:35Now, it's ours another forfeit rule, Cmo.
43:38Now, game avoided.
43:40Cobblers, they get...
43:41Get that bloody blanket.
43:42Good.
43:58Good.
43:59Good.
44:26You all right?
44:27Yeah.
44:29He's comfortable.
44:31He's in the right place, anyway.
44:36I...
45:12Don't give me any crap about rules! Friggin' rules! What do you know about rules, eh?
45:16For Christ's sake, Maurice, please.
45:18I've seen some strokes, pal. Straight up. But that one, that one has got to take the cake.
45:23Please, no more.
45:32How were you gonna sleep tonight, eh?
45:34We had no choice.
45:35No, you had no choice, pal! I had no choice!
45:38No, you leave it out.
45:43I'm warning you. That was business.
45:46Yeah. Business is business. And fair play is beating bullshit, I suppose.
45:51I thought I knew you, pal. I really did. I don't want this.
45:56You're only gonna pay for the hour of that money, so friggin' well keep it.
45:58Oh, listen! Shut that big mouth of yours or I'll kill you!
46:02Oh, well, do you hear me?
46:15Do you hear?
46:25Are you finished?
46:29Just leave it alone.
46:32Just leave it out, okay?
46:37Okay.
46:49Just leave it alone...
