00:00:25Kim, are you coming down for this meal?
00:00:28I'm getting sick of this.
00:00:52Kim, come out of there.
00:00:54Why have this bloody food at least?
00:01:10There's a letter for you.
00:01:13Maybe it's from that girl.
00:01:20I thought that would get you out.
00:01:27Kim darling, have you been going mad?
00:01:30I meant to write to you before, but the weeks have gone by.
00:01:34You'll have noticed I'm not at the flat.
00:01:36The thing is, darling, I'm about to be married.
00:01:39Saturday.
00:01:41Gilbert, you're back.
00:01:43No, no, you don't know me.
00:01:44I'm Nicky's friend.
00:01:46Yes, I know she is, but I don't know which church.
00:01:48Could you...
00:01:50Yes?
00:01:51Yes, on the road between...
00:01:53Yes, I know where.
00:01:55Oh, and the time.
00:01:59Yeah, thanks.
00:02:01So she came to her senses.
00:02:03How galling for you.
00:02:05Whatever's going on in that head of yours, don't do it.
00:02:07Just leave the kid alone.
00:02:08Look, if you leave this house, you needn't come back.
00:02:11And you can forget the exhibition.
00:02:12I won't be paying for it.
00:02:14Is that clear?
00:02:24Kim, darling, you'll have noticed I'm not at the flat.
00:02:27I did toy with the idea of letting you have it for a studio.
00:02:30But I thought that might prove a mistake and an embarrassment in the long run.
00:02:35The thing is, darling, I'm about to be married.
00:02:38Saturday.
00:02:39Oh, is that today for you now?
00:02:42I just couldn't go on suffering with you.
00:02:45You were made to be a genius, not a spouse.
00:02:48Just concentrate on that.
00:02:50And I'm over you now.
00:02:52And Eric's really very sweet.
00:02:54Not a bit like you.
00:03:18What?
00:03:24You didn't.
00:03:25You didn't.
00:03:26You didn't.
00:03:30Kim, what did you say?
00:03:33Kim, what did you say?
00:03:34Kim, nothing.
00:03:35I don't believe in last names. I mean, why should I use some second-hand male tag?
00:03:41Oh, well, uh, just keep there.
00:03:44Yes.
00:03:47Do you work for the film?
00:03:49No, just the end of the friend. I'm a painter.
00:03:52You're not more to the film.
00:03:53I have been home to.
00:03:56Do you want to ask us?
00:03:57Of sorts.
00:04:00Where do you live?
00:04:01I'm between homes at the moment. There's no fixed abode, don't they say?
00:04:04But that's dreadful.
00:04:06How do you cope with your work?
00:04:07Well, listen, it just happened that I got thrown out of my room.
00:04:10Work?
00:04:11You know, I didn't think they could do that these days.
00:04:13Depends.
00:04:14On what?
00:04:15Behaviour.
00:04:15What did you do?
00:04:16Molested the landlord's wife.
00:04:20You didn't.
00:04:21Can I help it if I was born with a good, healthy appetite?
00:04:25Oh, this is the big white chief, Mr Joyce.
00:04:27This is Nicky.
00:04:28Tempt sector B come Monday to your friend Phillips, right?
00:04:32It doesn't circulate, damn you.
00:04:36About your healthy appetite.
00:04:38Anyway, it was the landlord who did most of the objecting, not his wife.
00:04:42Oh.
00:04:45Actually, I've got a spare bed in my flat.
00:04:47Is that too presumptuous?
00:04:48Not at all.
00:04:50It's very kind.
00:04:51Well, I thought it might tide you over.
00:04:53Until you find something better.
00:04:55Yes.
00:04:55Well, there's only one problem, though.
00:04:57I've got to go away for the weekend.
00:04:59I won't be back till Monday.
00:05:00I'm going to stay with my aunt.
00:05:02I must go.
00:05:03You see, she worries a lot.
00:05:04Which is my guardian.
00:05:05You see, my aunt and uncle, they're my guardians.
00:05:07We mustn't upset your guardians, must we?
00:05:11Can't you shut up now?
00:05:13You've nagged me all the way home.
00:05:14You've slept all the way home.
00:05:16Only my eyes were asleep.
00:05:17I can still hear you carting away in the back of my head.
00:05:19What do you expect?
00:05:20People were talking.
00:05:21Even Phillips, and he's no Puritan, she'll eat her in a minute.
00:05:24That's what he said to me.
00:05:25Why, if you will drag me to these boring business dudes, what do you expect?
00:05:29Well, I didn't expect to spend the entire evening chatting up some little temp set,
00:05:33whatever she was.
00:05:34Because you were there to, well, you know very well why you were there.
00:05:37You're just jealous, Dad.
00:05:40That's what's griping you.
00:05:42All right, then I'm jealous.
00:05:44But the point is, you were there to circulate and to be nice to people.
00:05:47Oh, just like your lady wife, Daddy's right arm.
00:05:51Oh, marvellous topping.
00:05:52Three bags full.
00:05:54Well, I'm not Louise.
00:05:56On the end of this arm is a body with active blood and a fertile mind.
00:06:01And you're drunk.
00:06:02What kind of a fool do you think you made me look?
00:06:05Everybody knows you're my mistress.
00:06:07Oh, God, we're arguing.
00:06:11I don't argue with you.
00:06:14You're my best friend.
00:06:15I don't have that many friends.
00:06:17I can't risk losing you.
00:06:22Just Kim, my love.
00:06:26I'm not Louise, old Rob.
00:06:27And I don't expect you to be.
00:06:30But now that you're here, entertaining will just have to be part of your life.
00:06:34All I'm asking is that you don't exhibit yourself.
00:06:37Please.
00:06:38I won't be living here.
00:06:41Of course you will.
00:06:42It's all arranged.
00:06:42Not by me.
00:06:46Look, I don't feel like playing silly buggers tonight.
00:06:48Did you give up your room to come and live here, or did you not?
00:06:51No.
00:06:52Well, I've cleared out the study for you.
00:06:57You've changed your mind.
00:06:58I never made up my mind.
00:07:00Well, I wish you would.
00:07:01I mean, the times you've said all you want is a decent studio and peace and time to work in
00:07:05it.
00:07:06The times you've said that, and now I'm able to give it to you, you don't want it.
00:07:09Of course I do.
00:07:10Like a big, juicy sweet to a baby.
00:07:13But it wouldn't work.
00:07:23Don't smoke that stuff, Kim.
00:07:25Not in my house.
00:07:26Not in my house, thank you.
00:07:28God.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:43You look so different.
00:07:48It's very late.
00:07:49I've been waiting all evening.
00:07:51I had to wait for a friend.
00:07:52She'd borrow a van to pick up my stuff.
00:07:54Well, where is it?
00:07:56I expect she'll dumb it off in the morning.
00:08:04So where's this bed?
00:08:07That one over there.
00:08:10Well, you could have this one if you wanted to, but I...
00:08:13Well, do.
00:08:29Didn't say thank you, did I?
00:08:30Oh, no.
00:08:31It's fine.
00:08:35Are you going to bed?
00:08:37I've got to be up early.
00:08:38You don't mind?
00:08:39But I've done supper.
00:08:41It's not gone off too much.
00:08:43I've had something.
00:08:45At the pub.
00:08:58Good night, then.
00:09:01All right.
00:09:28All right.
00:09:37About your things.
00:09:40Sorry.
00:09:41I'll move them.
00:09:42As soon as you say where.
00:09:49Could Arsenal Everton possibly draw, would you say?
00:09:52I've no idea.
00:09:54Oh, I'll put it.
00:09:55I know you lot.
00:09:56There.
00:10:01I'll put it in there.
00:10:13Bye.
00:10:15Where are you going?
00:10:16Work.
00:10:18Well, talk about that stuff tonight, right?
00:10:20What work?
00:10:21I thought you were a...
00:10:22All that stuff.
00:10:24Don't you work at home?
00:10:25Yeah.
00:10:26And I don't sell, so I have to go out for bread.
00:10:29Oh.
00:10:31Well, what do you do out?
00:10:32Clean bogs.
00:10:36A lavatory cleaner?
00:10:39You are joking.
00:10:40No.
00:10:41The well-known and well-tried brand X.
00:10:43Don't you get covered in germs and things?
00:10:46No, I wipe them out.
00:10:4799% anyway.
00:10:48I don't claim to be perfect.
00:10:50Oh, daft.
00:10:51Only way it stays sane, isn't it?
00:10:53No, I don't claim to be perfect.
00:11:09Hello, if the door open.
00:11:11Yes.
00:11:12Oh, and I had some fees cut today.
00:11:15Obviously going to keep rather different hours.
00:11:19I'm afraid I haven't done anything for you.
00:11:21Not after last night.
00:11:23That's good.
00:11:24I'd rather keep separate.
00:11:31You're very different, you know.
00:11:33From whom?
00:11:34At that party.
00:11:37It could almost be someone else.
00:11:39You sound disappointed.
00:11:44Have you washed your hands?
00:11:48Ever or recently?
00:12:12Is that pot?
00:12:15Please don't mind.
00:12:18No.
00:12:19I think you're very foolish, though.
00:12:22They say it blanks the mind.
00:12:23My mind needs blanking.
00:12:26It's a dreadful thing to say.
00:12:28Is it?
00:12:29I don't see why.
00:12:30The more fertile your mind, the more you have to see.
00:12:36I'm not sure I want to see the misery anymore.
00:12:40Don't talk like that.
00:12:41Please.
00:12:43Please.
00:12:45I don't see it.
00:12:52I don't see it.
00:13:03I don't see it.
00:13:06I don't see it.
00:13:16Oh, sorry.
00:13:21I had some semi-raw sausages midday.
00:13:24It's probably...
00:13:26Now, do you take other drugs?
00:13:28Pills and things?
00:13:29Don't worry about it.
00:13:30I can't help it.
00:13:39Look, if you're ill, you should see a doctor.
00:13:43Mine's very nice.
00:13:45Of course, I am a private patient.
00:13:47The world's ill.
00:13:48No doctor can cure that either.
00:13:50About those things on your bed.
00:13:52There's no room for them, is there?
00:13:53No room for me to work here?
00:13:55Not really.
00:13:57Why did you ask me?
00:13:59I don't know.
00:14:14When did you first know you were gay?
00:14:18I don't remember.
00:14:20Roughly.
00:14:21My age?
00:14:22No.
00:14:24A lot younger.
00:14:26About what?
00:14:34I'd rather not tell you.
00:14:36Please.
00:14:42Don't get your fingers ready to put in your ears.
00:14:44Since my father initiated me.
00:14:48Initiated?
00:14:48Yes, against the wall at the back of our house Sunday afternoon.
00:14:51I was 11.
00:14:53Do you mean it...
00:14:56That's dreadful.
00:14:57I was getting the coal in.
00:14:59I saw him coming around the corner of the house.
00:15:02He was in a foul mood.
00:15:06He started trampling down the chrysanthemums.
00:15:09Why?
00:15:12My mother grew.
00:15:14No yellow, not fancy.
00:15:16Small yellow chrysanthemums.
00:15:21I suppose you must have rejected him or something.
00:15:28We're a big family.
00:15:31I know she was sick of having kids.
00:15:36Anyway, I shouted to her.
00:15:39About the chrysanthemums.
00:15:40She was very proud of them.
00:15:46I don't suppose she heard.
00:15:54You did.
00:16:07I can't say any more.
00:16:11Kim, I'm so sorry.
00:16:15She should never have asked you.
00:16:17That's all right.
00:16:19It's quite a relief.
00:16:21I've never told anyone before, ever.
00:16:27Even Robin.
00:16:32I should have told Robin.
00:16:37He brought me some chrysanthemums once.
00:16:40The smell of them.
00:16:44Still makes me want to vomit.
00:16:47I threw him back in his face
00:16:49and he went on about the stupidity of women's lip.
00:16:55I should have told him why.
00:17:01I couldn't...
00:17:08In fact, I enjoyed seeing him hurt.
00:17:12I'm not proud of it.
00:17:13It's just the way I am.
00:17:23Anyway.
00:17:26When people apply that word gay to me,
00:17:28it seems hell of a paradox.
00:17:30If it's got to be the choice between the two,
00:17:32I think I prefer queer.
00:17:35Oh, I'd better get that stuff moved off your bed.
00:17:39You can put it in the bathroom.
00:17:40I don't use the dressing men.
00:17:41You can have that.
00:17:42I can't work in there, Nicky.
00:17:45In that space.
00:17:48Besides, I see enough of Boggs.
00:17:49What other choices there?
00:17:57Oh.
00:18:02But you're spreading.
00:18:04Will you stop pestering me?
00:18:05I'll de-spread when I finish, right?
00:18:07I do have a right to wash.
00:18:09Just because you don't choose.
00:18:10You've got an obsession with it.
00:18:12If it's not hair, it's your feet.
00:18:13If it's not your feet, it's your arse.
00:18:15With all this steam, my canvases will be ruined.
00:18:18You are dreadfully crude.
00:18:21I didn't know you'd be like this.
00:18:24And how do you want me to be?
00:18:25Go away and make a list, say, of possible improvements,
00:18:28and we'll discuss it later.
00:18:29Oh, there's never any later, is there?
00:18:31You never stop.
00:18:33Talk about me being obsessive.
00:18:34I don't have much time.
00:18:36What difference could half an hour make?
00:18:38Everything.
00:18:38Everything.
00:18:39I've got a million pictures going round and round in here.
00:18:41If I don't get them out, I'll lose them.
00:18:44Your head is probably going round and round
00:18:46because of all that dope.
00:18:49Anybody think I was fixing on the art to listen to you?
00:18:51I'm not a junkie, you know.
00:18:51I choose it.
00:18:54For someone so perceptive,
00:18:56you're very short-sighted at times.
00:18:58Okay!
00:18:59I'll give you half an hour.
00:19:00What do you want me to do?
00:19:11Artists should be like athletes, sponsored.
00:19:13In this country, even athletes have to earn their bread.
00:19:17True.
00:19:19And if you've not had it too easy,
00:19:21think of all the crap that had jumped on the bandwagon.
00:19:23Well, you can easy-check your athletes aren't cheating
00:19:25at their three-odd minute mile.
00:19:26The good art's just a matter of opinion.
00:19:28Oh, people don't want good art.
00:19:29They just want to be titillated and sentimentalised.
00:19:32Well, what about all that other stuff?
00:19:33The old masters and all?
00:19:34People want that, don't they?
00:19:35Look at the price they've fetched.
00:19:37They're all dead.
00:19:38Them and their ideas.
00:19:39People are sentimentalised by death.
00:19:43Ready for ideas.
00:19:44I'm only too scared to marry.
00:19:46God, you're dreary tonight.
00:19:47The only way shunting around I do is ridiculous.
00:19:49Wasting half my life doing grot jobs with peanuts
00:19:51is all so disruptive.
00:19:53Drink up.
00:19:54I'll get you one.
00:19:56How's Nicky?
00:19:59She's a lady.
00:20:01I thought that would have been right down your street.
00:20:04Chance for a touch of the seders.
00:20:06Sex should be neutral.
00:20:11I think I'm in love with her.
00:20:13Love?
00:20:14That'll be the day.
00:20:15Well, he's hopeless there, but I can't leave.
00:20:18Sounds dangerous.
00:20:19Still, might do you some good.
00:20:21Rub off some of them nasty corners.
00:20:23All I need is a sensible base to work here.
00:20:26What about that bloody bloke?
00:20:28What's his name?
00:20:28Robin.
00:20:29Do you know, because I've lain with him a few times,
00:20:31Robin calls me bisexual.
00:20:32What do you think of that?
00:20:34Anyway, you're bisexual.
00:20:36It's by going with women and ladies alike.
00:20:43No, no, not Robin.
00:20:47I need somewhere free from sex, I suppose.
00:20:50You've been saying that for the last five years, at least.
00:20:53I mean it now.
00:20:54You're saying that and all.
00:20:55How can I help saying the same when nothing changes?
00:20:58So what's brought it on this time?
00:21:00Lady Nicky?
00:21:01Nope.
00:21:04I've had the sack.
00:21:08What did you do?
00:21:11This lady reported me.
00:21:13All she had to say was no thank you.
00:21:14She wanted to report to a man for far worse.
00:21:16If it had been in the ladies' box, she would.
00:21:18Oh, you never lie.
00:21:20What self-respecting ladies expect from their common or garden conveniences
00:21:24is the privacy to pass their water and check their coffure, dearie.
00:21:27Not the likes of you pouncing on them from amongst the mops.
00:21:36Oh, Rosey, love.
00:21:39What would I do without you?
00:21:42It's great.
00:21:43End up being clean, shouldn't you, Wendy?
00:21:47Same again.
00:21:49See ya.
00:21:58I just wish I'd been born rich.
00:22:01I think you're the most selfish person I've ever met.
00:22:04And you're too precious to spit.
00:22:07Go on.
00:22:08Have a good gob.
00:22:09Get it out of your system.
00:22:14You know, you make me so nervous.
00:22:17Not what I imagined.
00:22:19Just what did you imagine?
00:22:21Shall I tell ya?
00:22:22You thought I would gently seduce you.
00:22:25Dreadful thing to say.
00:22:26You're a lady, Nicky, with a great big L.
00:22:29Not only do you want me to seduce you,
00:22:31but first you want me to woo you.
00:22:33But wooing takes a lot of time and energy,
00:22:35and I can't spare you either.
00:22:38But if you really want me in bed this minute,
00:22:41I'll give you a good half hour.
00:22:43Of course you don't.
00:22:45You want it in pink ribbons.
00:22:50You are horrible.
00:22:52It's the only way to keep my mind on what matters.
00:22:53And I don't matter.
00:22:55Just don't hang around me waiting for me to live for you.
00:23:14I've done your toothbrush for you.
00:23:16I've already cli-
00:23:18I don't need paint.
00:23:23Clean it off before you go.
00:23:24No.
00:23:25You do it yourself, Oxfam eyes.
00:23:27Well, so you have.
00:23:28You've got awful eyes.
00:23:29And yours are very beautiful.
00:23:30They turn my guts.
00:23:33Don't try and hurt me, Nicky.
00:23:34I'm very fond of you in my way.
00:23:36Well, I don't very much like your way.
00:23:46That costs money.
00:23:49I've got plenty.
00:23:50Then you'd better give me some.
00:23:52I'm not giving you anything.
00:23:56You're manners are appalling.
00:23:58And your language.
00:23:59Were you dragged up in the slums?
00:24:01Yes, I suppose I was.
00:24:02But yours aren't much better.
00:24:03Where were you dragged up?
00:24:06Just don't take a piss out of me, little girl.
00:24:09Just don't.
00:24:14Oh, it hurts.
00:24:22Oh!
00:24:23I'm not.
00:24:29I'm not.
00:24:30No.
00:24:35Oh, no.
00:24:37Oh.
00:24:37Oh.
00:24:38Oh.
00:24:40Oh.
00:24:40Oh.
00:24:40I love you, I love you.
00:25:16You're evil.
00:25:20Understand?
00:25:31You could do better than that.
00:25:33I'll be looking at my letters.
00:25:34Sorry, I just noticed.
00:25:38Seven, nine.
00:25:46You've had enough, then?
00:25:48No.
00:25:50Oh.
00:25:53If you'd put that other word, that would have been...
00:25:55Oh, just have your own go.
00:25:57Stop trying to have mine.
00:25:58All right, keep your vest on.
00:26:03Symbol is A-L, isn't it?
00:26:08Symbol.
00:26:09Bang, bang.
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:16Would have been...
00:26:18What's the point of adding it up if you haven't got it?
00:26:23You had enough of her, then?
00:26:34It's your go.
00:26:37Oh.
00:26:45Going home.
00:26:48Home.
00:26:57Damn you.
00:26:59Switched it off.
00:27:11Nicky.
00:27:12Get off.
00:27:15I'm sorry.
00:27:18I don't want to talk to you.
00:27:22Cutting off your nose.
00:27:28My Aunt Darlene would have a fit if she knew about you.
00:27:33I wanted me to have a flat anyway.
00:27:35If she knew what I'd got in it.
00:27:38Give us a kiss and stop trying to live by Aunt Ruddy Darlene's standards.
00:27:43It's definitely physical for a woman.
00:27:45That's what you're used to, meeting ladies.
00:27:48I'm rather tired of all this nonsense.
00:27:50Free sexes.
00:27:52I think you're mad.
00:27:54Bad job.
00:27:55You're not coming in here.
00:27:56Not with those boots on, anyway.
00:27:58It'd prove you about a minute.
00:28:09I would love to get a double bed.
00:28:10I can't have this nonsense.
00:28:11I'm not buying any double bed.
00:28:14My Aunt comes sometimes.
00:28:16Is it your Aunt Darlene who's supposed you're rotten?
00:28:19Well, they all do.
00:28:21Aunt, uncles, cousins.
00:28:24They treat me like a doll.
00:28:28All except Gilbert.
00:28:30We used to have a lot of fun together.
00:28:35And who's Gilbert?
00:28:36One of my cousins.
00:28:39The black sheep.
00:28:43So whatever makes you want to be a temp sec?
00:28:46Well, I want to see what it's like to be ordinary.
00:28:51What's your verdict?
00:28:53Some of it's better.
00:28:56People do tend to talk to you and not your money, but mostly it's rather boring.
00:29:02How much money have you got?
00:29:03We know exactly.
00:29:04Uncle Miles handles it.
00:29:06I can't have it till I'm 18.
00:29:12I can't have it till I'm 18.
00:29:13But how much would you think?
00:29:15Why?
00:29:16I shan't be giving any to you.
00:29:22I shan't talk to you, then.
00:29:24Why, that's blackmail.
00:29:25But you like games like that.
00:29:29Yes.
00:29:31I was messing about.
00:29:33Just think.
00:29:34If I can hire a studio.
00:29:37Proper studio.
00:29:39I don't know why you're bothering.
00:29:40I can't touch the money for months and months.
00:29:48Let's play a game.
00:29:50What?
00:29:51Let's see if we can keep quiet the longest.
00:29:54Longer.
00:29:54There are only two of us.
00:29:56All right, all right.
00:29:57I'll say when.
00:29:58Go on, then.
00:30:00When?
00:30:17Go on, then.
00:31:03Kim, there, I've spoken first.
00:31:08I can come back to bed.
00:31:28Don't start getting principles with me, love.
00:31:55Where have you been all night?
00:32:19How much money do you want?
00:32:24Well, I mean, if I want something, Uncle Miles doesn't usually say no.
00:32:33I thought I could say I wanted to buy a, well, buy a car or something.
00:32:44But you have to do something with yourself.
00:32:47You know, be presentable.
00:33:08Just Kim, you choose your moments.
00:33:11I'm going.
00:33:12Don't be so obvious.
00:33:13You better come in.
00:33:14Come on.
00:33:22They're drunk.
00:33:24Yes.
00:33:28What's she doing?
00:33:29Packing her clothes.
00:33:30Packing her clothes, but she can't.
00:33:32I need a dress.
00:33:33You need, you need, you need a clout.
00:33:47I've left the big case for you to bring down.
00:33:50He's bloody pissed.
00:33:52Couldn't carry himself, never mind a case.
00:33:54I'll do it if you're so believe and incapable.
00:33:57Shut your filthy mouth.
00:34:09Stop hating me.
00:34:10It's not my fault.
00:34:13Not my fault his eyes wandered.
00:34:16His eyes.
00:34:17His hands.
00:34:18His cock.
00:34:19They should be in his control, not mine.
00:34:21Why blame me?
00:34:22Blame him.
00:34:24Foul, isn't it?
00:34:26I beg your pardon.
00:34:28The weather.
00:34:33Could you take it out of the car?
00:34:41My God, Robin, I never knew what you saw in her.
00:34:43She's not even pretty.
00:34:55Did you have to?
00:34:57Yes.
00:34:58I'm afraid I did.
00:35:00You only make people think worse of you.
00:35:02I don't care.
00:35:04Well, I can buy you a dress.
00:35:06Daffy.
00:35:07Come on.
00:35:08Not your bleeding prostitute.
00:35:15I love you.
00:35:18What do you want me to say?
00:35:20What do you want me to say?
00:35:20To do?
00:35:29Nothing.
00:35:30It's been such a long time since we've seen you.
00:35:34I've been really busy.
00:35:35Oh, yes, of course.
00:35:36Oh, there's Miles.
00:35:38Oh, Kim.
00:35:39You must come and meet Miles.
00:35:40I expect he's fast asleep as usual.
00:35:43Miles?
00:35:44Miles?
00:35:46Nicky's here with her friend.
00:35:48You are awake.
00:35:49Lovely to see you.
00:35:52That's a very pretty dress.
00:35:54Oh, this is Kim.
00:35:55Hello.
00:35:57So, you're the motorbike girl, are you?
00:35:59That's right.
00:36:00Kim, do come and sit down.
00:36:03I've laid tea by the pool.
00:36:04You never get in the bathroom, do you want?
00:36:06You don't think you'll get too hot?
00:36:07You're not going to get me out of here, though.
00:36:18Your favourite cucumber sandwich is there.
00:36:20Aren't had made up for you.
00:36:21Can you eat something?
00:36:22Such a pity to waste this marvellous weather.
00:36:24Do come and sit down, Kim.
00:36:26Yes, do sit there.
00:36:27I'm going to keep my hat on if nobody minds.
00:36:32Hmm, very nice.
00:36:52What do you think about this car business, Kim?
00:36:56Probably there's so many maniacs about these days.
00:37:00Nicola really is very young, you know.
00:37:01There'll be more maniacs when she's older.
00:37:04The percentage rises about the same rate
00:37:05as the driving populace.
00:37:07Or even faster because of the conditions, what?
00:37:12No, no, I'm not happy about Nicci driving.
00:37:16No, not at all.
00:37:18I don't think she's old enough, myself.
00:37:21You learn so much better when you're young.
00:37:24Yes.
00:37:25Of course, once Nicci gets her mind set on her thing,
00:37:28you know, she really is a very determined girl.
00:37:31Do you have to be careful?
00:37:32Perhaps you haven't seen that side of her.
00:37:34Oh, yes.
00:37:35Yes, I have.
00:37:55I'm afraid some girls tend to play a man's game these days.
00:37:59these days seem to give you quite a lot of trouble it's just old-fashioned aren't you
00:38:05Uncle Miles? well as a matter of fact they do Kim. country's going to the dogs. now Miles don't you
00:38:11start on politics. I'm sure Kim doesn't want to hear. on the contrary. there's more than just a
00:38:19touch of women's lip about our Kim here. well that's hardly exclusive to these days. it was
00:38:25founded two thousand years ago. well that's news to me anyway. have you never
00:38:30heard of Jesus Christ? I think you've got your lines a bit crossed there my dear. are
00:38:36you a church goer Kim? most young people seem to spurn the church nowadays but I
00:38:41still think it's a good- aunt. Kim doesn't want to hear about that. no of course not. but you
00:38:47are a Christian Kim.
00:38:49I do believe in Christ. there you are. there's an example for you my girl.
00:38:54you don't do you? I thought you said the Bible was a- I didn't say I believed in a
00:39:02Bible Nikki.
00:39:04it's the most sexist book ever bodged together. Christ shines through it like a fog lamp.
00:39:12I can't quite see how you tie him up with your women's lib lot anyway. what do you think women's
00:39:18lib is?
00:39:18I know very well what it is. it's a threat to decent family life. the Bible's that. a threat to
00:39:23decency.
00:39:256-1. I hope you're not going to dispute that score. I know what the score is.
00:39:30the Bible explains everything. of course it doesn't. it just gives an excuse for everything.
00:39:39a rubber dummy for guilty consciences. with females as scapegoats for all the vileness of the human race.
00:39:46you still haven't told me what Christ has to do with women's lib.
00:39:49well Jesus didn't expect women to be duty-bound.
00:39:56Martha said, does thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?
00:40:00and Jesus answered, Mary hath chosen that good part which will not be taken away from her.
00:40:07ladies are welcome to their servitude. women are free to follow their own conscience.
00:40:12I thought we were playing a game. poor old Jesus didn't have quite all the answers.
00:40:19but when you think of the opposition, the fear and prejudice of the times,
00:40:24she probably made a bigger step forward than any other one person.
00:40:27she?
00:40:29why not? Jesus may have had the body of a man,
00:40:32but definitely the common sense brain and compassionate heart of a woman.
00:40:39I'm afraid you've lost me now.
00:40:41anyway Kim, if you believe in Jesus, your heart's in the right place.
00:40:45hmm.
00:40:46but even Jesus said if you believe in him, you must believe in God.
00:40:50Christ also said God is love.
00:40:53not some fearful omnipotent up there ready to put the boot in every time our weaknesses get the better of
00:40:57us.
00:40:58love.
00:40:59love thy neighbour as thyself.
00:41:01how many men love females as themselves?
00:41:05if they did, society would have one set of rules for all the sexes.
00:41:09all the sexes?
00:41:10Kim says there are three.
00:41:15I should have thought I would have noticed that by now.
00:41:18why?
00:41:19it doesn't show in bodies.
00:41:21sexuality is controlled by the brain, not by the genitals.
00:41:24perhaps we should have stuck to politics.
00:41:26Jesus principle should apply to everything, to politics, to life.
00:41:30I quite agree.
00:41:31there's not enough honesty in politics these days.
00:41:35all this corruption, it's dreadful.
00:41:38I wasn't ready.
00:41:39that's your fault.
00:41:41you may well call me old-fashioned Nicola, but there's a lot to be said for the old values, you
00:41:46know.
00:41:47what this country needs is a return to the decent life.
00:41:50to the good life.
00:41:5311-3, my game.
00:41:55it seems in vogue suddenly to want to return to this good way of life.
00:41:59I'm afraid I'm not sure what it is.
00:42:01family life, dear.
00:42:02yeah.
00:42:02which particular one or families are different?
00:42:05I don't mean all the same, Kim.
00:42:07not regimentation.
00:42:09what I believe we want is, within each different family unit, more closeness.
00:42:16more living for one's own, rather than wanting so much outside.
00:42:21yes, that actually makes sense.
00:42:25I'm not a complete fool, you know.
00:42:27more closeness within each unit.
00:42:28yes, I like that.
00:42:29as long as the units don't have to conform to any basic standards,
00:42:32as long as the people in them don't have to conform to any basic role.
00:42:38how can it be until there's more overall equality?
00:42:41the unions will ruin the country, anyway.
00:42:43that'll be the end of it.
00:42:45what would you do about the unions, eh, Kim?
00:42:47she'll say unions are people standing up for their rights.
00:42:50but they're never satisfied, Kim, dear.
00:42:52that's what socialism does for you.
00:42:54breeds dissatisfaction.
00:42:56Kim?
00:42:59oh, god, what am I doing here?
00:43:03I must work.
00:43:10oh, dear.
00:43:12not socialist, is she?
00:43:14have I gone and said the wrong thing?
00:43:16no, liberal.
00:43:18wait for me, Kim!
00:43:19don't rush off.
00:43:22she's just like that.
00:43:24awfully sorry.
00:43:25it's all right, we know all about the artistic temperament.
00:43:29I thought no one was supposed to mention Gilbert.
00:43:33I suppose we always make too much of Gilbert's temperament.
00:43:38oh, not enough.
00:43:43damn you!
00:43:44you could at least wave!
00:43:55they liked you.
00:43:59never thought they would.
00:44:01to yourself.
00:44:03they liked you.
00:44:08I like them too, in a way.
00:44:12they'd rather laugh at themselves or something.
00:44:20but socialism was needed.
00:44:23it exposed poverty.
00:44:27like we must expose.
00:44:28never mind that now.
00:44:39come on.
00:44:40oh, god.
00:44:42touch it to this bed.
00:45:01kim.
00:45:04kim.
00:45:05what on earth?
00:45:08you've left her.
00:45:10you've left that poor girl.
00:45:15you really enjoy it, don't you?
00:45:18taking people up to cloud nine and then dropping them.
00:45:20no.
00:45:22i...
00:45:22i just want the room.
00:45:24i must work.
00:45:26i...
00:45:26i...
00:45:27i don't want anything else.
00:45:28just the room.
00:45:29i eat in there, sleep in there.
00:45:30i just want to work.
00:45:32you want.
00:45:33you want.
00:45:36i'm getting sick of hearing about it.
00:45:38what you want.
00:45:39what you need.
00:45:39what about what i want?
00:45:48you want the room.
00:45:52i must...
00:45:54an exhibition.
00:45:55i want you to arrange it.
00:45:57the right people when i'm ready.
00:45:59here.
00:46:00don't matter where.
00:46:01will you?
00:46:01all right.
00:46:03but if you live in my house, you sleep in my bed.
00:46:07i'm not playing silly buggers with you anymore.
00:46:10is that clear?
00:46:20i'm home.
00:46:22do you want some coffee?
00:46:44coffee!
00:46:47what's she doing here?
00:46:48modeling for me.
00:46:49what the hell do you think?
00:46:50i'm not having her in my house.
00:46:52you what?
00:46:53told you.
00:46:54i can't work without models.
00:46:56then get somebody else.
00:46:58rose, don't go.
00:46:59it's all right, love.
00:47:00i can spot bastards a mile off.
00:47:02this is ridiculous!

00:49:48Lewis!
00:49:50Don't give me the rest
00:49:51Don't dare dare him, will you?
00:50:06How much longer do I have to stand here like this, Kim?
00:50:08Until I sit there like that
00:50:13Keep still
00:50:14And that includes your scrotum
00:50:17I'm not standing here any longer
00:50:18You will
00:50:19Why should I?
00:50:20Why should I drive 64 miles every day
00:50:22Getting you and your grotty little brother to school
00:50:23Why should I waste all that time
00:50:24When there's an adequate train service
00:50:26Not adequate
00:50:26You have to wait ages
00:50:27So, you expect me to take you?
00:50:29It's not my fault, mum's ill
00:50:30So, what did you promise to do for me in return?
00:50:32Nothing!
00:50:32I don't like you anyway
00:50:33Get him off
00:50:34No!
00:50:35I'll thump you
00:50:36Thump you back
00:50:37I don't like you
00:50:38I don't like school
00:50:39I don't care if I don't go
00:50:41I don't like anything
00:50:45Why didn't you both go to your aunts like your sister?
00:50:47There's only room for Carrie
00:50:50Didn't want to anyway
00:50:52I want to live here
00:50:53Come on, I want to watch you
00:50:55Open the door
00:50:56But like before
00:50:57Let me, Kim
00:50:58Come on, I want to watch you
00:51:00Hang on, Kim
00:51:01Please
00:51:02I'm not doing it again
00:51:03You're a tart, my mother said
00:51:04Sex mad tart
00:51:35Get guns, then
00:51:36Grab and your crab and your great big ego
00:51:38What misery will you cause, you little bugger?
00:51:42Ben!
00:51:43What will you plunder?
00:51:45Who will you stamp on on your way to the top of the muck heap?
00:51:49What a service I'd do for the world if I put you out of your misery
00:52:07I went over to see aunt last week
00:52:10You know, my mother's going to tell her
00:52:12About us?
00:52:14Yes
00:52:14She's a little quite determined to
00:52:16When he came to it, I just chickened
00:52:19Makes me worry about what's going to happen to us
00:52:24We'll only ever change things by going on with what we believe
00:52:28Not by chickening out
00:52:29It's not the same security in it, Kim
00:52:32Not as in marriage
00:52:33It's no security in marriage either, believe me
00:52:35I've been there
00:52:37You've never said before
00:52:38Never been relevant
00:52:43Security comes with care
00:52:45It's not in marriage
00:52:47Sometimes they coincide, but they don't go hand in hand
00:52:50But in marriage you are with the mainstream
00:52:54Must be easier
00:52:58I can't imagine you're married
00:53:01Or me
00:53:01Why did you then?
00:53:03Got lumbered, didn't I?
00:53:05Pregnant?
00:53:06What do you think the scars are on my guts?
00:53:08I didn't know
00:53:08No, we never know, do we?
00:53:10Not soon enough
00:53:11People must learn to tell their daughters the truth
00:53:14Not glorify everything
00:53:18Now you're there
00:53:20With that man
00:53:21You're jealous?
00:53:22Yes
00:53:23You've no need to be
00:53:24I shall only stay as long as I have to
00:53:26As soon as I've had my exhibition, he can get stuffed
00:53:29That's dreadful
00:53:31You're just using him
00:53:32Men have been using females since the beginning of time
00:53:39What happened to your child?
00:53:41God knows
00:53:42I looked after him for five years
00:53:46I gave him five years of my life
00:53:52He knew his ABC when he was two
00:53:55And his teeth were white, not black
00:53:57Because I resisted filling his face with sweets every five minutes
00:54:04I was a good mother
00:54:09Then he started school
00:54:12And there was a form to fill in
00:54:14And the form asked for the father's name
00:54:18And the father's job
00:54:20And the father's and the father's and the father's not mine
00:54:23I'd born him
00:54:24I'd given my womb
00:54:25My time
00:54:26My energy
00:54:27My patience
00:54:27My love
00:54:28And the child was still his
00:54:31And all he'd given was a bloody sperm
00:54:36I objected to the form
00:54:39Refused to fill it in
00:54:43People round me laughed
00:54:44They were just plain bloody embarrassed
00:54:48My little boy was crying
00:54:49He didn't understand
00:54:55But society called my child is
00:55:00So I let him have it
00:55:03I don't know how you can be so cruel
00:55:07And I don't know how you can be so weak
00:55:24It's beautiful, isn't it?
00:55:28Yeah
00:55:29But cold
00:55:36Let's go home
00:55:40I haven't got a home anymore
00:55:41Nor me, Ben
00:55:45I'm like Jesus
00:55:46I just bum around where I can
00:55:50Trying to do what seems right
00:55:52Are you mad?
00:55:55Maybe
00:56:00Anyway, let's go back
00:56:02To your father's house
00:56:03And your father's food
00:56:04And your father's fire
00:56:05And try not to mind being society
00:56:07Beggars
00:57:04I thought I told you not to come here
00:57:06To talk to you
00:57:07I'll be round later
00:57:07I know
00:57:08I did mean to wait
00:57:10What's wrong?
00:57:12I just wanted to talk to you, that's all
00:57:13I didn't say there was anything wrong, did I?
00:57:16Don't something to annoy you?
00:57:17I'm not annoyed
00:57:24Don't like that
00:57:25Oh
00:57:26If you've got something to say
00:57:27Open your mouth and let it drop out
00:57:28Don't start getting a flip
00:57:31Don't, don't, don't
00:57:32Don't
00:57:33Am I allowed to breathe?
00:57:34Kim, I love you
00:57:36I just want you to tell me the truth about something
00:57:39That's all
00:57:39Look, I've been told
00:57:42Is it true that you go to prostitutes?
00:57:47Not put like that, no
00:57:49Put like something
00:57:56You go to a pub called the Queen's Head
00:57:59Yes
00:58:00Prostitutes live there
00:58:02Yes
00:58:04And you mix with them
00:58:05Yes
00:58:06And don't get up, just
00:58:08Don't rave at me
00:58:20A friend of mine lives there
00:58:25Never said before
00:58:26Do I know all your friends?
00:58:27I doubt it
00:58:29Besides, I can't think of me telling tales about me to start with
00:58:32So I'm getting self-righteous
00:58:34I'm not blaming you
00:58:35Well, that's big of you
00:58:36I do think I have a right to know
00:58:38You go to prostitutes
00:58:39Perhaps you're with one
00:58:40Who isn't a bloody prostitute?
00:58:42Some people may sell their bodies far more
00:58:44And lease out their minds
00:58:45The great
00:58:46I don't believe in it
00:58:47I know you'll lecture me
00:58:52Your friend
00:58:56Is she a prostitute?
00:58:58Yes
00:59:00Go to bed together?
00:59:01We have done
00:59:02Since you've known me
00:59:04Oh, Nicky
00:59:05Does it matter that much?
00:59:08I've known Rose
00:59:09Oh, don't say her name
00:59:13I've known her for a very long time
00:59:14She's been very good to me
00:59:17How could I just split with her?
00:59:19I couldn't
00:59:21Oh, stop going to bed with her if it hurts you
00:59:24As it hurts you
00:59:25Perhaps I should have before
00:59:26But
00:59:27She's my friend
00:59:28You mustn't expect me to turn my back on her
00:59:31Cast her out
00:59:32Yesterday's package
00:59:33Last night's dreams
00:59:34Cast her out for the newest latest model
00:59:36That's their way
00:59:38Who's?
00:59:39Men's
00:59:39We must find our own way
00:59:42Not except theirs
00:59:43Because it's easier
00:59:45Nor because
00:59:46It's staring us in the face
00:59:48Wherever we turn
00:59:49The barbarism
00:59:51Oh, please
00:59:52We can make a world that's worth living in
00:59:56But we must be ruthless
00:59:57Like
00:59:58Real socialism
01:00:02Oh, look at me
01:00:04Sitting there all bloody superior
01:00:07Oh, I don't know
01:00:08You've got to go
01:00:10A number of times you've come running to me
01:00:12Because you haven't been able to get anybody else
01:00:13I'm sorry
01:00:14Yeah
01:00:15If this little liaison
01:00:16That fires on you
01:00:17You will be
01:00:23But
01:00:24Give us another
01:00:26She can get her in
01:00:27Oh, Rose
01:00:28Don't be so bloody
01:00:32After all I've done for you
01:00:35I like it with you
01:00:38Don't think I like it with any of them other buggers
01:00:39I'm sorry
01:00:40Oh, shut up
01:00:41You're not the least
01:00:42But I'm sorry
01:00:45Who was it used to stick up for you
01:00:47When the other kids were shouting after you down our road
01:00:49You?
01:00:50Hmm?
01:00:51So maybe I shouldn't
01:00:52Maybe I should have gone along with them
01:00:57Kim, Kim
01:00:58She thinks her name's Jim
01:00:59But she hasn't got a cock
01:01:09I thought you was my friend
01:01:12I thought you was mine and all
01:01:18You're so bloody proud of being a woman
01:01:20You sometimes forget to be human
01:01:24Mrs. Darnley
01:01:25Is Nicky there?
01:01:28Oh
01:01:31No
01:01:33Well, no, it doesn't matter
01:01:33She's
01:01:34She's probably just out
01:01:50Can I speak to Gilbert Darnley?
01:01:54Oh
01:01:55Well, when will you be back?
01:01:58No
01:01:59No
01:02:00I don't bother
01:02:01No
01:02:02I don't bother
01:02:02No
01:02:04No
01:02:04No
01:02:12I love you.
01:02:14That is a beautiful game.
01:02:15You're so lucky.
01:03:02What's that silly fool?
01:03:04Good God, Nicky, isn't it? Isn't that your friend Kim?
01:03:12I'll have to speak to her, Uncle Miles.
01:03:13It's a bit irregular. Now hang on, surely you don't need to get up.
01:03:24You're ridiculous, dear.
01:03:27No.
01:03:28Then get it off.
01:03:29It's me!
01:03:30Think, Nicky, before it's too late.
01:03:32I have thought.
01:03:37I just can't face the alternative.
01:03:54Go and tell that silly girl this is no time for chatting, will you?
01:03:57Think we'd better leave them to it.
01:03:59What?
01:04:01Well, go on.
01:04:03I had no idea.
01:04:07I'm sorry.
01:04:09You're hell to be with.
01:04:15Jesus.
01:04:16Jesus, be with you then.
01:04:29I thought I might give the Liberals a try next time, you know.
01:04:32I'll drive on.
01:04:32I'll drive on.
01:04:49I'm sorry, sir.
01:05:03I'll drive on.
01:05:04Whatcha?
01:05:10Drown in your sorrows, girl?
01:05:11Hasn't bloody paid for her.
01:05:27That's it.
01:05:37I'm not sorry her a lot, man.
01:05:38Ok.
01:05:39Too much, too, too.
01:05:42That's the way we can talk about it.
01:05:43Let's go down.
01:05:43What happened exactly?
01:05:46I wasn't invited.
01:05:49Oh, she got married then.
