01:14We're not going in strike. We're not even having a sit-in strike. We are taken over the yard because

01:21we refuse to accept that faceless men or any group of men in Whitehall or anyone else can take decisions

01:28that devastate our livelihood with impunity.

01:35We're going to fight it. We're going to fight it with the determination that Britain hasn't seen from any section

01:43of the working class this century, let alone since 1945, and we'll do it.

01:49And the government's cutting off its nose to spite his face. We're not stoning for that. We will occupy this

01:54here little doomsday if we have to.

01:57There'll be a rundown in Singers. There'll be a rundown in Brockhouse. There'll be a rundown in Tullis's. So what

02:02do we do? What do we do?

02:07What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?

02:10What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?

02:34Come on.

02:36Hello, Mrs. Donald.

02:50London thinks it can solve its problems by asking a few redundancy notices

02:54and sending in a liquidator.

02:56They forget that we were born and bred within the sight of these shipyards.

03:00And we're not going to see the place turning into a ghost ship.

03:04But what would your children say if we let the Tories walk right over us

03:07and deny them the chance of work, aye, and the dignity of work?

03:11Don't shut up!

03:12Hey, boy, cast the arrow!

03:13Come on, you don't, you bastard!

03:15Hey, open up this door! Let's catch my check, aye!

03:19Oh, shit!

03:34What?

03:35Astonishing pace there, Arka, would you not say so?

03:36Mind it.

03:38Just a wee bit of lacking in the finishing department, that's all?

03:40Yes, sir.

03:42It's in for me to a thoroughbred, mind!

03:44Aye, touch it.

03:46Looks like you're out of the game, son.

03:47Did you say that? Not let me cast my check.

03:52Keep it back Monday. One got a fight.

03:54I'm fine. I don't need it.

03:56Well, that joke, it's me, Tam. No water in one.

03:59I'll manage.

04:01Looks like Mr. McGinn's made out his mind to be a miserable bastard, Harry.

04:05Come on. See you, Joe.

04:08Oh, hey, Tam. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

04:10Maybe this man's a wee hoff.

04:12That's my man.

04:14Nobody's seen you since you're signing on, don't you?

04:16I've been busy.

04:17Busy?

04:19You hear that, Tam? The man says he's been busy.

04:22Aye.

04:23I'd like to care how a man keeps busy in his bloody town.

04:26Good.

04:28Good job, how you doing?

04:31What are you doing?

04:33Eh, heavy for me.

04:35Wagger.

04:38Would you look at that.

04:3940,000 Rangers supporters are wide, don't you see a team full of Englishmen?

04:43Hey, hey, hey.

04:44Times have changed, mate.

04:45At least they're winning a few games.

04:46Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey.

04:47Come on.

04:48Oh, sorry, pal.

04:50Ain't no joke.

04:51Aye, aye.

04:54Come on, come on, Joe. Talk to you, Tam.

04:56Sorry, what are you saying?

04:58Ah, it doesn't matter.

05:00Tell me, how have we not seen you? What's been keeping you off the streets?

05:03Don't know.

05:04This and that.

05:06I'm writing a book.

05:07A book?

05:08What a book?

05:09Worker.

05:10That's ancient history, man.

05:12What do you want to write about that?

05:13Who's going to read it?

05:15I don't know.

05:15Anybody at once.

05:16Don't waste your time.

05:18How do you know come down to the unemployed centre or something?

05:20Why the boys are there?

05:21Oh, my stuff.

05:22Well, you're kind of stewing that flag trap on a flat forever.

05:25You need to come out and play wanson or whatever.

05:30There was a town that was more important things than religion to sing about.

05:33Oh, aye.

05:33When was that, may I ask?

05:35Here we go, boys.

05:36Hey, great harvest for you, eh?

05:37Well, I've got to go.

05:38I'll see you.

05:39Hey.

05:40Hey, Joe.

05:41I'll see you.

05:44Give me something, man.

05:46I bet we did like your repertoire.

05:48Aye, I was a contrary bastard.

05:49There's no meat married rangers supporters by now on my gun.

05:53It's sick of me.

05:55Hello!

07:10What the hell are you doing?

07:12What are you doing?

07:14So who is the wee lassie out in the corridor, then?

07:17What lassie?

07:17There's a wee lassie out in the corridor.

07:19I never saw anyone.

07:20Thought she'd been in that flat.

07:21Oh, she hadn't. I never saw her.

07:23Bloody cheap.

07:24Walking into somebody's flat.

07:28Wally and me are getting married.

07:32Oh.

07:32Aye.

07:33I've decided to tie the knot at last.

07:36I see.

07:38Is that all you can say?

07:40What do you expect me to say?

07:41I came round to ask if you'd give me away.

07:45In a church.

07:46What happened?

07:47Dad, I want to get married in a church.

07:49What do you expect?

07:50You swan about the city with a bunch of Tory parasites

07:52and I don't see you for months on end.

07:54Then suddenly you turn that way to blue

07:56and you expect me to give you away in a church

07:58to make you look respectable.

08:00You've been living with a guy long enough.

08:03God's sake.

08:05In a church.

08:07Aye, Chuck.

08:09Aye.

08:10Aye.

08:11Well, will you do it?

08:16We're getting married, Jock.

08:18In a church.

08:20You're the only relative the lassie's got

08:22and she wants to know if you'll give her away, aye or no.

08:25You know I don't hide with churches.

08:26Cut the sermon, comrade.

08:28Dad.

08:28Yes or no.

08:32I'll wait for you in the car, Brenda.

08:36Talk to him.

08:45What are you going to marry him for?

08:48Peanut salesman?

08:48Don't start, Dad.

08:49I don't want to hear him.

08:50Is he in a union?

08:51They don't have a union.

08:52No.

08:52He's got a better job than you have.

08:58Brenda.

09:01How come you don't visit me anymore?

09:04Just look at you.

09:06This place.

09:08Why don't you do something with yourself?

09:12See you, Dad.

09:42I don't know.

09:43I just don't know.

09:52I'm sorry.

09:55I don't know.

09:55Oh, girl.

09:56Why don't you do something with you?

10:01I'm not sure.

10:02You can follow me for me.

10:05Keep your pipes long, come on, come on, come on.

10:50I don't know what to do.

11:27I have your head, son.

13:11There's nobody in that flat.

13:13Coonsal are coming today too, but there's nobody in it.

13:16No, that's what I thought.

13:22Oh, that's these rogues they're doing stairs.

13:24No, no, no, no.
