00:00:22You all right?
00:00:24Ah, fine.
00:00:27And awake, aren't you getting up?
00:00:28No, no, I was awake.
00:00:32Well, perhaps you felt a bit sick.
00:00:34Seasick.
00:00:35No.
00:00:38Frightened?
00:00:40Me?
00:00:41Frightened?
00:00:41Well, apprehensive.
00:00:45No.
00:00:48Just wondering.
00:00:51I'm frightened.
00:00:53Ever been so frightened in me life?
00:00:55For goodness sake, love.
00:00:56We're big, grown-up people.
00:00:59You're not supposed to be terrifying of them.
00:01:01Gee, they're only youngsters after all.
00:01:03But I can't just force myself on them.
00:01:06I've got to win their friendship.
00:01:08You can't force people to love you.
00:01:11Come on.
00:01:13Dirty, great, big Irish breakfast.
00:01:15That's what you want.
00:01:16Soda bread, titty bread,
00:01:19egg, bacon, sausage.
00:01:20Smothered and not much sauce would make your eyes water.
00:01:23It's revolting.
00:01:26Come on.
00:01:28Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:01:34Oh, she's a fain and falls.
00:01:36Road in Belfast, taking badly damage.
00:01:38What do you take out and rise as well as this when you're at school?
00:01:40I want to see what she's like before she's my man.
00:01:43Do you think if we don't like her, my darling, not Mario?
00:01:45I'm sure your dad would please him, son.
00:01:47I think Billy should be going down to make them.
00:01:49Should he use his work to go take?
00:01:50Doesn't matter.
00:01:51He could have taken his A.R.
00:01:53Bet you my dad would have done it for him.
00:01:55Well, Paulie hadn't been around Billy probably would have went down.
00:01:58Yeah, but my dad doesn't know Paulie.
00:01:59Should I be with her?
00:02:00And she's got a car.
00:02:01And I'd rather see her and get a lift and see our Billy and have to walk.
00:02:08What's going on?
00:02:08At least we all out of here.
00:02:09What nice are you getting up at this time?
00:02:11Maybe he got me to see my dad.
00:02:12Oh, sure?
00:02:13I wish I was going to that boat.
00:02:15You can give this place a good tidy and we're out.
00:02:18Oh, thanks a lot.
00:02:18That was worth getting up for.
00:02:20You're getting me.
00:02:21You're getting me.
00:02:21What are you doing?
00:02:22I'm so early.
00:02:23I couldn't sleep.
00:02:25Toss some turn most of the night.
00:02:28Are you all excited about me with my dad?
00:02:31I hardly do.
00:02:33Any chance of a cup of tea?
00:02:34Aye, Anne, I'll get you.
00:02:36Just call rent a slave.
00:02:38Here, give us a slice of toast.
00:02:39Me old brawn.
00:02:41For sake.
00:02:41And listen to my boy like milk now.
00:02:44Aye.
00:02:45And listen, sprinkle the sugar or I just don't be dumping it in a big lump in the middle.
00:02:54Are we letting that fire before you go out yet?
00:02:57Yeah.
00:02:58Maureen, hurry up and finish that and then make the fire out.
00:03:00Too warm for a fire, I'm roasting.
00:03:01Aye, you may be out better.
00:03:06Do you want marmalade on your toast?
00:03:08Is it orange, marmalade?
00:03:09No, it's green, made in double.
00:03:12Ah!
00:03:12Get out of here!
00:03:13Ah!
00:03:14Ah!
00:03:15Ah!
00:03:15Ah!
00:03:15Ah!
00:03:16Ah!
00:03:21I'll be polly now.
00:03:24Right, everyone, I'm away.
00:03:26See yous later.
00:03:27See yous later.
00:03:29See yous later.
00:03:36I'm going to get a car as soon as I'm old enough.
00:03:38I'm not.
00:03:39I'm going to get a boyfriend with one.
00:03:40Ah, jeez, would you listen to her?
00:03:43Hardly out of noppies and wanting to take advantage of some poor fella.
00:03:48And then there's this one coming today.
00:03:50Jeez.
00:03:51I wonder how she got her claws into Yardelle.
00:03:56Lorna!
00:04:13It's great to see you, girl.
00:04:15You're looking great.
00:04:16Who are you, Dad?
00:04:17You've been on wit.
00:04:18Ah, it's all a good food, Mavis.
00:04:20Oh, sorry, you're getting carried away.
00:04:23Mavis, this is Lorna.
00:04:25Lorna, Ramos.
00:04:28Pleased to meet you.
00:04:29Welcome to Belle Plus.
00:04:31Thanks very much, Lorna.
00:04:32Lovely to meet you.
00:04:33Your father's told me such a lot about you.
00:04:35It feels I know you quite well already.
00:04:37Dad, Mavis, this is Pauline.
00:04:39Oh, Billy's girl.
00:04:41Yes, we said hello.
00:04:43You're the ones after my wee fill, eh?
00:04:45Ah, getting more like me now, eh?
00:04:48Getting a bit more taste, eh?
00:04:50I'm really pleased to meet you.
00:04:51I've heard a lot about you.
00:04:53Aye.
00:04:55Billy, you had to work, I take it?
00:04:57Yes, I had to die off, you see.
00:04:59I have a point having the car in her.
00:05:01Oh, he's right.
00:05:03Must be after the work.
00:05:06You ready?
00:05:07Aye.
00:05:08Come on, I have to see you.
00:05:09Go ahead, come on.
00:05:11Oh, no, that's all right.
00:05:13All right.
00:05:15All right.
00:05:18All right.
00:05:20Good morning, though.
00:05:21Okay, you're right along.
00:05:22Good, dear.
00:05:36Uncle Andy, this is Nervous. Nervous, this is Uncle Andy.
00:05:42Come on, welcome back.
00:05:44I'm very pleased to meet you, Andy.
00:05:45Yes, yes, indeed, yes. Let me take that coat from you there.
00:05:50Yeah, yeah, now, you'll feel better with it, don't you?
00:05:54Oh, sit down, sit down there, sit down.
00:05:56They're moving your dad up there.
00:05:57See them, they're desperate.
00:06:01Oh, Lorraine, let that in, for goodness sake.
00:06:10Andy.
00:06:13Hey, you, you're a brave-looking invalid.
00:06:16Well, I'm going to make the tea. I'll give you a hand.
00:06:19I've got to help calling you for two.
00:06:21Belly-pitted there.
00:06:23Oh, aye.
00:06:25You bring a lot of water, but none of the bridges. That was too...
00:06:29My sister, Janet.
00:06:31She looks very nice.
00:06:32Ah, great loss.
00:06:34Yes, yes, I'm sure it was.
00:06:37Sit down, love.
00:06:40It's warm, I love fire.
00:06:41Uncle Andy needed it. He feels the cold.
00:06:44It's a drop.
00:06:45See, you can never be sure, like, when you light the fire in the morning, what the day's going to
00:06:50do, eh?
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:55Thanks, Dad.
00:06:57Mavis.
00:06:57Oh, here's a tea.
00:06:59Mavis.
00:06:59Not lovely.
00:07:02Thanks, Pat.
00:07:04All right.
00:07:05Maybe let Dad get his tea.
00:07:08Hey.
00:07:09Oh, uh...
00:07:10What?
00:07:11What's that?
00:07:12She ain't ever take a cup of salsa.
00:07:15You always say salsas are for snobs.
00:07:18Oh, thank you very much. Thank you.
00:07:22Well, uh...
00:07:23Did you, uh...
00:07:24Did you have a good crossing there, eh?
00:07:26Yes, it was very pleasant.
00:07:27Well, I assume it was.
00:07:28We slept.
00:07:30It certainly seemed perfectly calm this morning.
00:07:32Well, mind you, now, that's going to be a right rough stretch of water, don't you?
00:07:37Most people flies, now, this.
00:07:40Oh, what's so funny?
00:07:42You say most people fly.
00:07:44Oh.
00:07:45But it's important to know, friends, they're flying, not the people.
00:07:47Oh, very funny. Ha, ha, ha.
00:07:49My teachers say language is a tool that should be properly used.
00:07:53Teachers.
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:54Should I think they know everything and they know nothing?
00:07:57Are you ever sure, teacher, aren't you?
00:08:00Yes.
00:08:01Well, I was. I did teach.
00:08:03I haven't for some time, but I'm thinking of going back to it.
00:08:07Uh, martiniers?
00:08:08No, I'm fine for the moment, thank you.
00:08:10I'll have a drop more, love.
00:08:15That's lovely cheese, though.
00:08:17You get that from the corner shop?
00:08:18No, we stole it from the merch shop.
00:08:21Cheers, the house is full of comedians, isn't there?
00:08:25So, uh, you're going to get married then, eh?
00:08:29No.
00:08:30We are married.
00:08:33We got married last week.
00:09:01We'll wait much longer to be ruined.
00:09:03I don't know what's happened to him.
00:09:06Back, it's maybe a bit of overtime.
00:09:09Something that's cropped up at the last minute.
00:09:11These things happen.
00:09:11He hasn't done overtime for months.
00:09:13I know, but maybe it's just a last minute thing.
00:09:16Perhaps he met a friend and they went for a drink.
00:09:18Well, it's possible he's even forgotten.
00:09:21Well, there's no point letting four dinners be ruined.
00:09:29I'll give you a hand.
00:09:32I wouldn't worry about it, love.
00:09:34I'm sure he's all right.
00:09:35Yes, I'm sure he's all right.
00:09:36I'm not worried.
00:09:37Just angry.
00:09:43Well, what's she like?
00:09:45No, but.
00:09:45She is not.
00:09:47I like her.
00:09:49You're lucky.
00:09:51Wish I could trade my mind getting a new one.
00:09:54When are they getting married?
00:09:55They're married already.
00:09:57They got married in England.
00:09:58She's our man now.
00:10:00What about the big wedding?
00:10:01And youse's bridesmaids and all?
00:10:03Why don't you shut your trap?
00:10:04All right, I'm only joking.
00:10:06It's not bloody funny.
00:10:07And that can't harm I anyway.
00:10:09They'll have to, my dad, make you.
00:10:11How will it?
00:10:12That's what you think.
00:10:13Our lorna's married to you already.
00:10:14Even I'm glad they get all dressed up like an old age.
00:10:17Just because she's English.
00:10:18It's not got to do with it.
00:10:19I don't know.
00:10:20You'll think it's something special.
00:10:22I don't want any English woman to tell me what to do.
00:10:24She'll let me here for long, sure.
00:10:26Once you go back to England, you can do whatever you like.
00:10:29Her belly will not call her Mavis for sure.
00:10:31Save us Mavis, he calls her.
00:10:33How have other kids your own anyway?
00:10:35How?
00:10:36Your dad Mavis.
00:10:38How can they?
00:10:39Same way your man and dad had you.
00:10:41How do you think?
00:10:50Billy?
00:10:52Didn't expect to see you, Neil.
00:10:53Paul, ain't that, was you?
00:10:54No, I'm on my own.
00:11:03Well, what do you think of Neil?
00:11:05She's nice, isn't she?
00:11:09Well, I don't know.
00:11:10I haven't seen her yet.
00:11:11Well, why?
00:11:16Well, I haven't been home yet.
00:11:19But they're expecting you.
00:11:21Pauline's cooking something special.
00:11:25For goodness sake, Billy, why?
00:11:27Why?
00:11:28I don't know.
00:11:29I can't...
00:11:30But they're staying with you.
00:11:33She's your mother, for goodness sake.
00:11:35They're married.
00:11:37They got married last week.
00:11:41Well, I thought he wanted us to meet her before they got married.
00:11:43Does it matter now?
00:11:45He's married again.
00:11:46He's nearly stopped drinking.
00:11:47It's all different.
00:11:48We're all different.
00:11:50Oh, well, that's it.
00:11:50You see, I don't think we are.
00:11:51I don't think anything's changed.
00:11:53What about Pauline?
00:11:55Where do you think she feels?
00:11:56I mean, they're both complete strangers to her and she's doing this for us.
00:12:01She's a nice woman, Billy.
00:12:03She likes us and she wants us to like her.
00:12:05No, she knows nothing about her.
00:12:06She doesn't know what went on here.
00:12:08It's over all that.
00:12:10Mum's dead.
00:12:10All that's in the past.
00:12:11Aye, well, not for me.
00:12:12It's not...
00:12:17It's a private rower.
00:12:18Can anybody join in?
00:12:20Bye.
00:12:21Morning.
00:12:22Right now, eh?
00:12:23What the hell's he doing in here?
00:12:24Aye, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:12:25Easy, Arse.
00:12:26Uncle, I need a way I can take Joan with you.
00:12:29Wait, you're only off the corner.
00:12:30We're talking.
00:12:33Oh, well, talk away.
00:12:34Will you get out of here, please?
00:12:38May I can have a pint?
00:12:45Listen, now, is there anything I can do to...
00:12:47Will you go, for Christ's sake?
00:13:02I've never heard you swearing like that before.
00:13:05It's not funny.
00:13:06You've nothing to laugh about.
00:13:09You've spoiled everything for me, you.
00:13:14Fuck, what are you crying about?
00:13:20Why couldn't you just leave things alone for once?
00:13:25How do you think Nervous and Pauline feel?
00:13:27I mean, they're not part of what happened here,
00:13:29and I'm sure they don't want to be.
00:13:30Ah, come on, Lorna, you know what I went through.
00:13:32What we all went through.
00:13:33And what we've all tried to get over.
00:13:35Dad's been through things too, you know.
00:13:37He's come back, he's even staying out of his own house.
00:13:39You ruin it all.
00:13:57Let me give you a hand with the washing up.
00:14:00No, please.
00:14:01I prefer to do it, me on.
00:14:02You two go on.
00:14:07It was a lovely meal.
00:14:09Yes, it was smashing.
00:14:11Lovely.
00:14:12Thanks.
00:14:16Well,
00:14:19I'll just go and get ready.
00:14:30Do you like nursing, then?
00:14:32Yes, I do.
00:14:34I'm not much of one for hospitals myself.
00:14:37Janet.
00:14:39Mrs Martin, that's, uh...
00:14:41That's Blaise Moe, like she...
00:14:43She died up in the city.
00:14:45Nobody likes hospitals in those circumstances.
00:14:47Mrs. No.
00:14:51Does he, uh...
00:14:53Polly...
00:14:55Does he ever talk about her?
00:14:57Sometimes.
00:14:58Not about her as such.
00:15:00Just about her dying.
00:15:02Aye, it...
00:15:03It happened at a bad age for...
00:15:06Well, for them all, really.
00:15:07I don't think there is a good age to lose your mother.
00:15:10No, that's true.
00:15:12I remember my own.
00:15:18Well, you ready?
00:15:20Yes.
00:15:22Ah, been for them.
00:15:23We got all going down.
00:15:29Well, we'll not be late.
00:15:31See you later.
00:15:32Oh, here.
00:15:33Well, he got that cut.
00:15:35Just to let you feel free to come and go.
00:15:37Oh, great.
00:15:38Thanks.
00:15:41Thanks.
00:15:41See you later, Polly.
00:15:42We won't be late.
00:15:52Ah, jeez.
00:15:53I know they shouldn't have took a black this time.
00:15:56You're the one who always says we're not supposed to change colours in the middle of a set.
00:15:59I know, I know, but I'll never have any luck with a black.
00:16:04Ah, jeez.
00:16:06You know, they just want to have flags there, will they?
00:16:08I don't want to...
00:16:09Don't worry.
00:16:16What's this new woman to you, then?
00:16:19Eh?
00:16:21I suppose I don't know.
00:16:25She should be my sister, though.
00:16:27Once removed, there's something like that.
00:16:33Quite a nice woman, though.
00:16:35Qualified teacher, no?
00:16:36She looked it.
00:16:38Nice.
00:16:40Just the bit of a glance I got.
00:16:43I'll never know what you've seen in that.
00:16:46Sure, women of that odd, you'd never know.
00:16:49Never thought she'd be that nice looking, though.
00:16:51She's got a queer-eyed pair of sticks.
00:16:54He'd be wearing himself out.
00:16:58He'd be picking up for the blinds some morning.
00:17:05So that's what you're at?
00:17:07Honest to God, if you know sense at all.
00:17:09You're worse than a youngster.
00:17:10Do you want to kill yourself?
00:17:11I've just only had a couple of wee puns.
00:17:12Look at the state you're in.
00:17:14That's for you.
00:17:15Sorry, Laura.
00:17:15Don't you dare come into this house to make fun of my dad and me.
00:17:18When Jessica's only a wee joke.
00:17:19Will you not sit in my dad's house and make fun of him?
00:17:22Any more of it than you can pack your bags and get out.
00:17:33I'm sorry, Paulie, where are they? I'd better apologise. I just couldn't, er...
00:17:50It's a lovely evening, too. I thought maybe the four of us go for a walk. Is there, um...
00:18:00I don't suppose there's anything to eat, is there?
00:18:10Oh, come on, Paulie. Look, if you're gonna shout, shout. Throw things even, but not this.
00:18:19Look, this is just bloody stupid! Stupid, Emma!
00:18:29Oh, I'm sorry, Paulie.
00:18:35In a few days' time, these men and women will return to Ulster, and they will be many times better
00:18:40equipped, both mentally and physically, to do the job they volunteered for.
00:18:52Yeah, switch it off, oldy guy. Sure, there's nothing worth a dime on it.
00:18:57We saw Ian and Valerie at the gardens. He was pushing the prom and all that big sissy.
00:19:01There's nothing sissy about that. Sure, it's his baby, too.
00:19:04Yeah, that's not a mind's job. He just wouldn't have done it in my day. Nothing but fast, anyhow.
00:19:13Who's English man started doing all that nonsense?
00:19:15I like to see him on pushing the prom.
00:19:18I bet you are Billy wouldn't do it when Pauline has a baby.
00:19:21I wonder if my dad will do it if Mavis has one.
00:19:27I think it would be better, kinder, just to say you have to work overtime.
00:19:31Well, no, it's a lie.
00:19:32It'll not hurt as much as an inadequate apology.
00:19:36You know, I sat in the city hall grounds, watching the pigeons.
00:19:40Wondering if any of them knew what had happened.
00:19:44What are you laughing at?
00:19:45It sounds like some kind of a picture.
00:19:48Do you like my dad?
00:19:49I don't know.
00:19:50I didn't hate him on sight.
00:19:52He seems very timid.
00:19:54Nervous.
00:19:55Oh, that sounds like something out of a picture.
00:19:58Have they went out drinking?
00:19:59They just have to get out of here.
00:20:01They said they were going for a drink in a stroll.
00:20:02I don't know what they come over at all for.
00:20:04Imagine bringing anybody to Belfast for a holiday.
00:20:06Don't be silly.
00:20:07It's more than a holiday.
00:20:08They're married.
00:20:10She's your mother.
00:20:12Stepmother.
00:20:13It's only natural she'd want to meet Joel.
00:20:17What'll I call her?
00:20:19Mavis, I suppose.
00:20:22I'm glad you're on early's.
00:20:24At least you'll be here when I come in.
00:20:25Unless I go down to the city hall to try and read the pigeons' minds.
00:20:29No.
00:20:35Billy, this is Mavis.
00:20:37Mavis, Billy.
00:20:38I'm very pleased to meet you, Billy.
00:20:40Your father's told me quite a lot about you.
00:20:43I've been looking forward to it.
00:20:45Well, it's very nice to meet you, too.
00:20:48Congratulations on the marriage.
00:20:52Look, sit down.
00:20:53I'll just put my coat away.
00:20:54I'll do that.
00:21:00Well, I can't believe I've actually walked through the streets of Belfast.
00:21:04I mean, it was so quiet.
00:21:06Ordinary.
00:21:06I was terrified before I came over.
00:21:08You can go for weeks unaware of anything happening.
00:21:15Listen, why don't I make a cup of tea?
00:21:17No, Mr. Morton.
00:21:18Sure I do.
00:21:19No, no, I insist.
00:21:20But you don't know where everything is.
00:21:21Well, now it's as good a time as I need to learn, what?
00:21:24Now, why don't you both do it?
00:21:26Then Pauline can show you where everything is, and I can talk to Billy.
00:21:31Perfect.
00:21:33Come on, Pauline.
00:21:45As a matter of fact, I was less frightened of the streets of Belfast than of meeting you all.
00:21:51Yeah, I'm sorry about it tonight.
00:21:53Oh, I can understand.
00:21:55I mean, I don't suppose I know the whole story, but your father's told me quite a lot.
00:22:01And he doesn't blame any of you.
00:22:06Um, how did you meet my dad?
00:22:08Oh, he was a regular at this pub that my sister and brother-in-law keep.
00:22:12I was helping out behind the bar, and we got talking.
00:22:17It started soon after he arrived.
00:22:20Weren't you married before?
00:22:22Yes.
00:22:23My husband was killed in a car accident.
00:22:26You didn't have any children of your own?
00:22:28No, but I always wanted some.
00:22:31Well, maybe it'll be second time lucky.
00:22:34Yes, well, it has been.
00:22:48How long have you and Pauline been together?
00:22:52Um, five or six months living together.
00:22:56She's a nice girl.
00:22:58Your father's taken a great liking to her.
00:23:01Well, he doesn't know her very well.
00:23:04No, but...
00:23:05Well, you can usually tell quite soon whether you're going to like somebody or not, can't you?
00:23:11Well, I think it's better to get to know them before making up your mind.
00:23:15You're very defensive.
00:23:19Well, I've had to do a lot of defending.
00:23:22You know, it takes a big man to admit he's been in the wrong.
00:23:25It takes an even bigger man not to have been in the wrong.
00:23:27No?
00:23:28Yes, well, I'd like to start from now and not go back into all of that.
00:23:32I know it's difficult, but I think it's better if we can all just start again.
00:23:35We don't need to start again.
00:23:37We just need to start.
00:23:38I'll open the door myself.
00:23:41That's good.
00:23:42All right, all right.
00:23:52Oh.
00:23:55Okay.
00:23:58We dropped into Lavery's when we were out.
00:24:01That place never changes.
00:24:04No.
00:24:06I've been in once or twice with Uncle Andy.
00:24:09I'm sure Lorna could have done without him landed on her.
00:24:12Oh, they're getting on very well.
00:24:14She likes him.
00:24:15He's not well.
00:24:17He's never well.
00:24:19He helps Anne and Maureen with their homeworks.
00:24:22Well, if you want my opinion,
00:24:25the schools give out far too much homework anyway.
00:24:28Sure they're glad they're on their holidays.
00:24:29I always believed in lots of homework when I was teaching.
00:24:32I think it's very important.
00:24:35Especially if it encourages parents to take an interest in their children's work.
00:24:40Of course.
00:24:43Teachers can sometimes overlook
00:24:46or be totally unaware of problems in the home.
00:24:52You had to work overtime the night then?
00:24:54What?
00:24:55Oh, I had...
00:24:55Yes, he had.
00:24:56It doesn't happen very often, so it's hard to refuse.
00:24:59Ah, well, you don't want to go refusing overtime.
00:25:02You always do with the extra money after all.
00:25:06Mind you, you missed a beautiful dinner.
00:25:12Didn't he, love?
00:25:13Yes.
00:25:14Well, yes, it was a lovely meal.
00:25:16There'll be lots of other dinners before you go away again.
00:25:20Maybe we'll have pigeon pie some night.
00:25:29I never expected Billy to be easy.
00:25:32Too much happened between us.
00:25:35But in the end, it's not up to him.
00:25:40Look, love, we're not committing a crime.
00:25:44It's the most natural thing in the world.
00:25:48I mean, Billy doesn't even live there anymore.
00:25:50He's got all he wants here.
00:25:52I had hoped they'd asked before we even got a chance to put it to them.
00:25:57Well, maybe they will if we give them time.
00:26:00We can always wait.
00:26:01No, the sooner it's broached, the better.
00:26:03And we agreed on that last night.
00:26:06And in fairness to Lorna.
00:26:08Listen.
00:26:10In the end, they're just youngsters.
00:26:13All of them.
00:26:14They'll do what they're told.
00:26:16I don't want that.
00:26:19It seems so simple from over there.
00:26:22Your Anne doesn't like me.
00:26:24I can sense that.
00:26:25Anne doesn't like you.
00:26:26Rubbish.
00:26:28Anne's my girl.
00:26:29You'll have no problems there.
00:26:33Look, I'd better get on over there.
00:26:50Anne!
00:26:54We're just to wait down Sandy Road for a clean message.
00:26:56This will not be long.
00:26:57Is my dad coming up in there?
00:26:59I expect I'll be here sometime.
00:27:01I'll let the door open in the fireplace.
00:27:03Uncle Andy's still in bear.
00:27:04See you later.
00:27:05See you, Anne.
00:27:10I ain't going up to see my dad. Are you coming?
00:27:12Where?
00:27:13Up there, Billy's flat.
00:27:14Wait up there.
00:27:16But she'll be here later.
00:27:17And I thought you didn't like her.
00:27:19I don't.
00:27:19I don't.
00:27:20But I'm not going to land out back like I sat me soon with that.
00:27:23I have to tell you the house.
00:27:25Well, I'm going anywhere.
00:27:27See you later.
00:27:28I can't see you later.
00:27:31I'm firing them directly through the turn.
00:27:34Now, now, it's no cater for the innermen.
00:27:37And women too, I suppose they get hungry like the rest of us.
00:27:40It's cookery time once again.
00:27:42Time to welcome Claire Connery.
00:27:43And today it's been steak and pastry cases and a few other delicious bits and pieces.
00:27:51Good morning, Clare.
00:27:52Hello, John.
00:27:53At this time of year, you know we're always wondering what we can make.
00:27:57We'll be quick and easy and light to eat, but yet we'll still be substantial enough for a complete meal.
00:28:02Oh, no.
00:28:04That's it.
00:28:06That's it.
00:28:07Quiet in case I made hay and ask for a lead to drink it.
00:28:13Oh, gee, I thought it was Lorna or one of the youngers.
00:28:18You always lie in bed half the day and then roar your orders.
00:28:21I was only asking for a drink of tea.
00:28:23That's no big thing.
00:28:24Well, don't bloody well ask me, for I'll not make it.
00:28:27See, in hell first.
00:28:28I'm not asking you.
00:28:30I can make it for myself.
00:28:33Jesus, I'm being a barred way of a hot horse.
00:28:35You didn't make me a cup of tea.
00:28:36And I'm sure our Lorna's enough to do without running after you morning, noon and night.
00:28:39Nobody runs after me.
00:28:41Oh, well, my children aren't going to do it.
00:28:47Where are they, anyway?
00:28:48I don't know.
00:28:54You don't think it's near about time you were thinking of moving back to your own house?
00:28:59Your own house?
00:29:01It's your soul, then.
00:29:03How's the exact report?
00:29:05They'll be doing it up.
00:29:07What?
00:29:08You mean you've moved in here permanently?
00:29:11To my house?
00:29:13Well, I wasn't even asked.
00:29:14We all thought you'd moved in for a good.
00:29:16It's still my name on the rent book.
00:29:19I still send Lorna money every week.
00:29:21And bejesus, I don't send her to keep the likes of you and tobacco and drink.
00:29:25Don't touch her money.
00:29:26I've got me old.
00:29:27I pay my way.
00:29:28And look at that fair.
00:29:29Boring good coal in this way.
00:29:31I'm sure there's no coal for that.
00:29:33Well, I think while I'm over here, I'd see the welfare about getting you moved into a home.
00:29:37Home?
00:29:38I don't want to go into no home.
00:29:39You don't want to promise me I could stay here.
00:29:41Oh, well, Lorna forgot.
00:29:42This is my house.
00:29:43You've been here long enough.
00:29:44Oh, but you've gone back to England.
00:29:46Has Mavis got a big house here?
00:29:47What the hell are you on with this one?
00:29:48Never you mind where the hell I'm going or what Mavis has got.
00:29:51None of that's any of your business.
00:29:53You've been here long enough.
00:29:56I'm not out of hospital all the time.
00:29:58Well, the next time you're in, stay in.
00:29:59I'm a sick man.
00:30:01You don't believe me.
00:30:02Just you asked that wee girl of bullies.
00:30:04My children had enough of running up and down to hospital when their mullet was bad.
00:30:07I'm not putting them through all that again.
00:30:09Just you get out of here.
00:30:10You've sponged on my kids long enough.
00:30:12Huh?
00:30:14Huh?
00:30:14Who you calling a sponger?
00:30:16You.
00:30:16Why?
00:30:20That sponging.
00:30:22I'm giving a bit.
00:30:23You just ask Lorna.
00:30:24I'm asking nobody nothing.
00:30:26I want you out of here.
00:30:28I don't like you.
00:30:29I never did.
00:30:31Sure weren't you one of the ones who turned my own son against me?
00:30:35What?
00:30:57Hello, Anne.
00:30:59It's nice to see you.
00:31:07Where's my doll?
00:31:08He's just gone down to your house.
00:31:10You must have virtually passed each other.
00:31:11I come up over the bridge.
00:31:13Oh.
00:31:14Where's Pauline and our belly?
00:31:16They're both at work.
00:31:18So.
00:31:20We're all alone.
00:31:22Would you like something?
00:31:24Tea?
00:31:25Coffee?
00:31:25Juice?
00:31:26No.
00:31:27No, thank you.
00:31:29You should always be good-mannered, even to people you don't like.
00:31:32Didn't say.
00:31:32I didn't like you.
00:31:34Not in so many words.
00:31:36And not to my face.
00:31:39But I'm not a fool.
00:31:40I just didn't expect you to be married, that's all.
00:31:43I see.
00:31:45So do you think you'd have liked me more if we weren't married?
00:31:49Well, perhaps you thought that if you didn't like me, you could have prevented us getting
00:31:52married.
00:31:52Is that it?
00:32:03Why don't you say what you're thinking, Anne?
00:32:05It'd be much better if you did.
00:32:06I'm not thinking, Anne.
00:32:09Come on, Anne.
00:32:14I'm not stealing your father from you.
00:32:17I want us to share him.
00:32:21We both love him.
00:32:28Look, I don't expect you to call me mother, either.
00:32:30I wouldn't, anyway.
00:32:31Well, that's all right, then.
00:32:34I don't expect anything from you.
00:32:36Then why'd you come over here?
00:32:41Well, to meet you all, obviously.
00:32:45Your father thought it would be a good idea for us to meet, get to know each other, and
00:32:50well, who knows?
00:32:53I mean, if we hadn't come ever, you'd have said I was keeping him from you, wouldn't you?
00:32:57He could have come over in his own.
00:32:59But we're married.
00:33:01I'm his wife.
00:33:04Your stepmother.
00:33:07Now, that's not going to change, so you'd just better get used to the idea.
00:33:10Then why can't you stay here?
00:33:12Why do you have to take him back to England?
00:33:13Because that's my...
00:33:24Your father has a job there.
00:33:26He's happy there.
00:33:27You mean happy with us?
00:33:28You mean happy with us?
00:33:31No.
00:33:33No, I don't mean that.
00:33:37Come on.
00:33:40Smile.
00:33:41Relax.
00:33:42For goodness sake, child.
00:33:43I'm not a child.
00:33:47No.
00:33:49No, you're not.
00:34:00Hi, Dad.
00:34:01Dad.
00:34:01Hello, love.
00:34:04Where's Mavis?
00:34:05She's up at the flat.
00:34:06Have you fell out?
00:34:07No.
00:34:08Of course not.
00:34:09How was last night?
00:34:11Oh, it was all right.
00:34:13When he finally presented himself.
00:34:15Did you not get a cup of tea?
00:34:17No, I'm all right.
00:34:18I don't want any tea.
00:34:19Are you sure?
00:34:21I'm fine.
00:34:23Did you get enough, Uncle Andy?
00:34:25Ah, I'm worried.
00:34:27I'm worried.
00:34:27Glad to get some tea.
00:34:29All right.
00:34:29Leave her alone.
00:34:31Of course, love.
00:34:33Here.
00:34:34Fifty?
00:34:35Can I keep a change?
00:34:36Of course.
00:34:37Tear away there.
00:34:38See you, don't you dare do that again.
00:34:40She's all right.
00:34:41Sure, it's the holidays.
00:34:44Anyway, I'm with her father.
00:34:47What did you have to eat, Uncle Andy?
00:34:49And a bit of toast.
00:34:50All right.
00:34:51What about your oil, Brian?
00:34:53I'm all right this morning.
00:34:54Now, what if I told you about a proper breakfast?
00:34:58In the name of Jesus!
00:35:02Mr Barton, how are you?
00:35:05I think before I go, I'll get swing doors put on there.
00:35:08Make it easy for the crowds of you who use this house.
00:35:12I didn't know.
00:35:13It was morning.
00:35:14She told me just to come on in.
00:35:15It's all right, John.
00:35:16There's no harm, Don.
00:35:17Sorry.
00:35:17I'm ready to go now, aren't you?
00:35:20I'm going to get back coat.
00:35:24How's things in England, then, Mr Martin?
00:35:27I'm sure if you're interested, you'll get the weather forecast on the wireless.
00:35:33Listen, Andy.
00:35:35See you outside.
00:35:51Go along, you filthy old.
00:35:54Get!
00:35:55Well, if I have a filthy old, get!
00:35:57You're a knighted one!
00:36:00The sooner you're away in England, the sooner the road, the better!
00:36:10I do not know if I have a baby.
00:36:11Where's our aunt?
00:36:12There she's called the entry.
00:36:14She's way up to see your da and your new man.
00:36:16She's English.
00:36:16She should call her mother.
00:36:17Anyway, my da's up in our house.
00:36:20Hey, aunt, you're a baby!
00:36:21Check it!
00:36:26Is my da up there?
00:36:27Aye.
00:36:28I told John Fletcher just to walk on in.
00:36:30He didn't know my da was there.
00:36:31See you?
00:36:32You're a bad wee bitch.
00:36:33He was never very long.
00:36:34You up seeing my mother?
00:36:36I was up seeing Sable Smavis.
00:36:39Talks they're pash. All of these people have pash.
00:36:42Do not. It's just the way they talk.
00:36:44That's what we're saying.
00:36:46You know what I mean? It's just the way they sound.
00:36:48The sound's pash, yes?
00:36:49What's the say to you?
00:36:51Never do you mind.
00:36:52Do you want this?
00:36:53Yeah. Stop smoking.
00:36:55You're a fiend you'd be a saint.
00:36:56For summer holidays it's not the right thing to do.
00:36:59Stay down to school.
00:37:00You're dead, right?
00:37:02Hey John!
00:37:04I hear you puffed in the cello to my dad.
00:37:06Hey, hey, hey, hey, listen you, listen you.
00:37:08That's no laughing matter, right?
00:37:10I'm gonna get as ignorant as your dad.
00:37:12Never you do the rink of that again, young lady.
00:37:14What do you mean? I did nothing.
00:37:17Oh, no. You two never do nothing.
00:37:19Come on, I do.
00:37:21I see you.
00:37:23Yup.
00:37:23What do you want down there all the way to home, dad?
00:37:27Does John Fletcher still fancy your lorner?
00:37:29He does. Too bad she doesn't fancy him.
00:37:31He wants his Uncle Andy now.
00:37:36You can come too if you want.
00:37:39We're not saying you can't.
00:37:42What would I do in England?
00:37:45Well, you'd be free to get a job.
00:37:49Get a place of your own if you liked.
00:37:51A boyfriend.
00:37:53What about Uncle Andy?
00:37:54To hell with Uncle Andy.
00:37:58I've told him it's about time he got out of here.
00:38:00What? What did you do that for?
00:38:01Because it is.
00:38:03I'm not setting any more money to keep that out yet.
00:38:07What are you doing, dad?
00:38:11First of all, you're taking Anna Maureen back to England.
00:38:13And now you're going to throw Uncle Andy out of here.
00:38:16Why?
00:38:17Why couldn't you just leave us alone?
00:38:19What are you all about?
00:38:21They're my youngsters.
00:38:22They need a father and more.
00:38:24Well, they managed all right up till now.
00:38:25Aye, that just may be.
00:38:27But it's time they had a proper home background.
00:38:30Is that the only reason you came over here?
00:38:33Is it just so that Mavis could get an instant family?
00:38:35Now, just you watch your tongue.
00:38:37Dad, we're happy here.
00:38:40Don't spoil things again, please.
00:38:42Oh, I see.
00:38:44I'm still the big bad wolf, eh?
00:38:47I'm spoiling nothing.
00:38:49I'm offering my children a proper home.
00:38:51But that a proper home here.
00:38:53They're happy here.
00:38:55All their friends are here.
00:38:57They're here in England.
00:38:58So you think they're better off here, eh?
00:39:01Shootings and bombings and all the rest of it.
00:39:04Belong here, Dad.
00:39:06I've never known anything else, that's all.
00:39:09Look, I'd better get on up there.
00:39:11Mavis is on her own.
00:39:13Are you gonna report back that your mission's been successful?
00:39:15Aye, there's no call for that.
00:39:17Isn't there?
00:39:19And what are you gonna cry about?
00:39:21Your tears of joy.
00:39:23Because you're taking the youngsters off my hands.
00:39:26Thank Mavis for me. Tell her it's just what I've always wanted.
00:39:29Aye, look, Lorna.
00:39:29And you're gonna throw uncle on the other here as well.
00:39:32Is there no way any of your gown works?
00:39:34Listen you to me, girl. I don't have to stand and listen to...
00:39:38Hello, Dad.
00:39:42Hello, love.
00:39:44I was up seeing Mavis this morning.
00:39:46Oh, did she, er...
00:39:49Was she pleased to see you?
00:39:52Listen, you two.
00:39:54Mavis.
00:39:56Come on.
00:40:01How would you two like to come over to England?
00:40:04England?
00:40:05Aye.
00:40:06Do you mean for a holiday?
00:40:07With Billy and Lorna?
00:40:08And Pauline?
00:40:09And Uncle Andrew?
00:40:10No, Dad means just you two.
00:40:12And it's not for a holiday.
00:40:14Just to live there for good.
00:40:15Lorna could come too if she wants.
00:40:17I don't.
00:40:18I don't wanna go.
00:40:19I don't wanna live in England.
00:40:20Especially with her.
00:40:21Her?
00:40:22Who's her?
00:40:23Who's her?
00:40:25You're talking about my wife?
00:40:27Your muller?
00:40:28I barely called you.
00:40:29Shut up, Maureen.
00:40:30Mavis is your muller.
00:40:32And that's what you'll call her.
00:40:35And another thing.
00:40:36You'll do as you're bloody well told.
00:40:38All of you.
00:40:40Please, Dad.
00:40:41I don't wanna go to England.
00:40:43If I say you're going to England, you're going.
00:40:45And that's that.
00:40:48I wanna go.
00:40:54There you are.
00:40:55Cheers.
00:41:02Oh, this is great.
00:41:03Busy day?
00:41:04They're all busy.
00:41:06I had a man died today.
00:41:08The same thing Andy has.
00:41:10Oh, so he really is sick?
00:41:11Andy, yes.
00:41:13I didn't realise he was really ill.
00:41:16Norman gave me the impression he was malingering.
00:41:18No, Andy'd give anybody that impression.
00:41:20But he is ill.
00:41:22You down the house today?
00:41:24No.
00:41:24Norman went down mid-morning, but he's not back yet.
00:41:27I can't imagine what's keeping him.
00:41:29Maybe he's playing drafts with Andy.
00:41:31How'd he be playing anything with Andy?
00:41:33So have you been stuck in here all day in your home?
00:41:35Oh, I don't mind.
00:41:37Young Anne called up.
00:41:40Visit from Anne?
00:41:41It's quite an honour.
00:41:42She must like you after all.
00:41:44Oh, so you noticed it too, did you?
00:41:46No.
00:41:48Quite the contrary.
00:41:50She'll come round.
00:41:51She adores Norman.
00:41:54I think they're all quite remarkable, considering what they've been through.
00:41:57But they haven't all escaped unscathed, believe me.
00:42:00You're telling me.
00:42:03I'd better get started.
00:42:05Now, if you'd told me what you were going to do, I could have had it prepared.
00:42:08Do you do something?
00:42:10Do you fancy being reckless?
00:42:11Why don't we leave something for Norman and Billy and go out and have a meal?
00:42:15Oh, it sounds wonderful, but should we?
00:42:17Why not?
00:42:18Norman might not be very pleased.
00:42:20Good.
00:42:25Come on in, John.
00:42:27Oh, don't be overwhelmed by the welcome.
00:42:29I'm just excited.
00:42:32The Adele was going well down in Loverish.
00:42:35Back at the back right, let's show you, Orson.
00:42:37I wouldn't think of Orson knows what I'm right between us.
00:42:40You certainly look like a man in a hurry to get drunk.
00:42:42If you'll excuse us, John, we're just about to have our dinner.
00:42:44Oh, I am right.
00:42:45Oh, wait a minute.
00:42:46Hold on, hold on a minute.
00:42:47It's time for a quick game for us ready.
00:42:48It's stew.
00:42:49It's ready now.
00:42:50It's just stews all right.
00:42:51It'll keep me lonely.
00:42:52It's ready now and we're going to eat it now.
00:42:56Without strangers getting down our throats.
00:43:05I'll have to check up now and see if there's anybody in this house.
00:43:08Hasn't insulted that man.
00:43:09I have more to worry about than the feelings of John Fletcher.
00:43:12Now, you're so concerned about him.
00:43:14What are you going out after him?
00:43:15Maybe he'll put you up when Dad throws you out.
00:43:27Listen, little father, it's not the end of the world, you know.
00:43:32I mean, well, you're not to get yourself all worked up in my account.
00:43:49Where's Pauline Mavis?
00:43:51Out.
00:43:52Out?
00:43:54Anything wrong?
00:43:56Nah.
00:43:58Well, what happened?
00:43:59I here cut the finger on myself on that bastard soup tin in there.
00:44:03That's what's happened.
00:44:03Soup tin?
00:44:04What's going on?
00:44:07It's on a low light.
00:44:09Lucky enough, I suppose it's tomato.
00:44:11Where are they?
00:44:12They left that note.
00:44:17They're looking out for me.
00:44:21Thought I'd been forgiven for last night.
00:44:23Suppose this is Pauline's way of getting back at me.
00:44:25Spiteful, eh?
00:44:27That'll be the fiending blood on her.
00:44:28But what did I do?
00:44:29What sickens me is they didn't even have the sense to open the tin
00:44:32and empty the soup out into the friggin' pot.
00:44:35That's weaving for you.
00:44:37Will you want bread with us?
00:44:38Aye.
00:44:39Does Pauline make a habit of this?
00:44:41No.
00:44:41Does Mavis?
00:44:42How the hell would I know?
00:44:43We're only married.
00:44:44This is the first time.
00:44:45And the last.
00:44:47Well, she seems to be a woman with a mind of her own.
00:44:49Aye.
00:44:50Well, she should remember that her mind's kept inside her head.
00:44:53And heads could be knocked off.
00:44:56You been drinking?
00:44:58So what?
00:44:59Oh, I thought you'd stopped.
00:45:00Not at all.
00:45:02I still enjoy a pint.
00:45:04Aye.
00:45:06Well, may I have this soup?
00:45:09That's no meal for you after a day's work.
00:45:11I'll survive.
00:45:12If I go out and do a day's work, I expect a proper meal at the end of it.
00:45:16That was one thing about your mower.
00:45:17Pauline works hard, too.
00:45:18Do you say you want a bread with us?
00:45:19Ah, give us just a few slices just to dip in.
00:45:23No butter.
00:45:29No, I don't drink the way I used to.
00:45:33None of the old fighting or anything like that, you know?
00:45:36That's all overdone myself.
00:45:38Geez, Mavis would never stand for it.
00:45:40No, no, no.
00:45:41That's ever gonna happen again.
00:45:43You take salt?
00:45:44Yeah.
00:45:45No!
00:45:46Not in tomato soup.
00:45:51All right.
00:45:55You say Lorna and that all right shite are getting on all right?
00:45:58Aren't they?
00:45:59Fine, yes.
00:46:01I was thinking of telling him to go.
00:46:03Go where?
00:46:04Wherever the hell he friggin' well likes.
00:46:05That's his problem.
00:46:07He's a sick man.
00:46:08Sick my arse.
00:46:09If he's that bad, he should be in the hospital.
00:46:11He's been in an hour a couple of times.
00:46:12She has her own life to lead.
00:46:14She can't but tan herself down with the likes of him.
00:46:16Look, Lorna knows what she wants.
00:46:18Anyway, shouldn't let him go.
00:46:20It's my house, not Lorna's.
00:46:22Are you and Mavis gonna move back in?
00:46:23That's not the point.
00:46:24Right, what is the point then?
00:46:25The point is...
00:46:27I should be able to do what I like with what's mine.
00:46:33Well, my advice is to leave him alone.
00:46:34I didn't ask you for your advice.
00:46:41I was thinking of taking the two young ones back with me.
00:46:45What do you think?
00:46:48Well, great.
00:46:50Holiday will do them good.
00:46:51What about Lorna?
00:46:53Lorna doesn't want to come.
00:46:54Well, if it's Uncle Andy, we could maybe do something.
00:46:57Unless you want to take him as well.
00:46:58It's not a holiday.
00:47:00Well, what do you expect at Belfast?
00:47:01No, no, not that.
00:47:02I'm not talking about that.
00:47:03The kids.
00:47:04It's not a holiday.
00:47:05I'm taking them back for good.
00:47:11Well?
00:47:14Have you told this to Lorna?
00:47:17I put it to her this morning.
00:47:19And did she agree?
00:47:22I didn't ask her to agree.
00:47:24Just told her what I'm doing.
00:47:30Well?
00:47:34I'm going to wash the dishes.
00:47:36Is that all you can say?
00:47:37For what else do you want?
00:47:38An opinion for once.
00:47:39All right.
00:47:39My opinion is that you're wrong with just about everything you're planning to do.
00:47:42Is that so?
00:47:43You talk about Lorna leading her own life.
00:47:44Well, that's what she does.
00:47:45That house, those kids and now Andy as well.
00:47:47That's her life.
00:47:47That's no life for any young woman.
00:47:49Well, it's our life.
00:47:50And it's lucky enough for all of us it is.
00:47:51And now you're going to walk back in and destroy everything.
00:47:54Destroy nothing.
00:47:55I'm taking my kids back and giving them a proper home with a proper mother and father.
00:47:59Is that destroying?
00:48:00Is it?
00:48:00Look, darling, you can't take people, two children and give them to your new wife as if they're
00:48:04ornaments.
00:48:04Why don't you and Gavis have a kid of your own?
00:48:07Gavis can't have children.
00:48:13Well, why don't you adopt one then?
00:48:14She doesn't want to adopt anybody.
00:48:17She's a mother of four children now and if she wants two of them back in England with
00:48:20her, she has every right to have them.
00:48:21Yeah, and what about our rights?
00:48:23You're...
00:48:25You're living here with your girlfriend.
00:48:27That's your rights.
00:48:28What do you mean?
00:48:29I mean you don't even live there anymore.
00:48:31All this is between me and Lorna.
00:48:33Not you.
00:48:40Anybody in?
00:48:41Shh.
00:48:42Get out of your way.
00:48:44Come on.
00:48:45All this.
00:48:49Get in the seat.
00:48:52Have you turned your arm?
00:48:53Yes, we've come to take you out in the town.
00:48:56On the town?
00:48:56We've been for a meal and I've decided to go for a couple of drinks and make a night
00:48:59of it.
00:49:01What am I starting, Bella?
00:49:01Your father didn't come back this morning.
00:49:04Pauline and I decided I'd spend enough time on my own.
00:49:06We left them a tin of soup.
00:49:08Can I say a lovely tea, please?
00:49:10Top.
00:49:12I can just imagine Dad and our billy stuck together with a tin of soup.
00:49:16What time did your father leave this morning?
00:49:19It was early.
00:49:20It was after lunchtime.
00:49:21As early as that?
00:49:22Where on earthy got to then?
00:49:24Well, no, soon enough.
00:49:25Get your coat, Lorna.
00:49:27I couldn't, Pauline.
00:49:28Not the night.
00:49:28Not like this.
00:49:29We insist and we will wait until you get ready.
00:49:33But what about the kids?
00:49:34Aunt's big enough to look after things for a couple of hours.
00:49:38And there's Uncle, aren't they?
00:49:39Go and get ready.
00:49:44All right.
00:49:45I'm happy long.
00:49:51I'd run away.
00:49:53Run away.
00:49:53Where to?
00:49:54Anywhere.
00:49:55There's places.
00:49:57Would you come with me?
00:49:58Me?
00:49:59What for?
00:50:00She know he's trying to make me go to England.
00:50:02We're so early.
00:50:03Think of all those lovely English fellas.
00:50:05That's all you ever think about?
00:50:07Boys.
00:50:08A place like Wolverhampton and all.
00:50:10I know some of them are.
00:50:12I know some of them are.
00:50:13Aunt, you can come right now.
00:50:14I know I'm just going out.
00:50:15Where's she going?
00:50:16I don't know.
00:50:16Somewhere, Pauline and Mavis.
00:50:18Is that out that's Mavis and our house?
00:50:20Yes, and you've come in your own.
00:50:21Nobody's allowed in.
00:50:22I don't want in.
00:50:23I'm lumbering the night anyway.
00:50:25Who are you lumbering?
00:50:26That new fella at the bottom of the street.
00:50:28He's a drip.
00:50:29He'll lumber anything, Jill.
00:50:30He's got a squint.
00:50:31Well, why the hell he has not?
00:50:33A celebrity.
00:50:34Does that with his eyes.
00:50:35He's dead sexy.
00:50:37You guys aren't always a dummy.
00:50:39Come on.
00:50:39I'll see him.
00:50:40I'll see him.
00:50:43That's what he was asking about him.
00:50:44I'll give you a spooky girl.
00:50:48Do you really want to go to England?
00:50:50Aye.
00:50:51That would be brilliant.
00:50:52And just leave our Billy and Lorna.
00:50:54Sure, Billy's away with Pauline.
00:50:56And my dad said our Lorna could come.
00:50:57But she doesn't want to.
00:50:59She doesn't want us to go.
00:51:00Well, I ain't going.
00:51:01I'll be glad to get away from the south street.
00:51:03If you're going, my dad will make me go too.
00:51:04Why?
00:51:05Why do you want to stay in this old hole?
00:51:07Well, what do we do over there?
00:51:08They make fun of us at school now because of the way we talk.
00:51:10And the teachers will pick on us now.
00:51:12Should they pick on us here and we don't talk for now?
00:51:15Anyway, they hate the Irish over there.
00:51:16We'll probably get beat up.
00:51:18They did beat my dad.
00:51:19That's just because they couldn't.
00:51:20Anyway, we're not Irish.
00:51:21We're Protestants.
00:51:22Ach, don't beat that.
00:51:24We're Irish as well.
00:51:25No, we're not.
00:51:26I ain't that anyway.
00:51:27And another thing,
00:51:28Nevis is English and she's our mother now.
00:51:29Will you stop calling her?
00:51:30She's not our ma.
00:51:31Our ma's dead.
00:51:32Well, now we've got a new one.
00:51:33And I like her and I'm going to England with her.
00:51:35You can go.
00:51:36I'm not.
00:51:37I don't care.
00:51:38Anyway, we don't make a go.
00:51:40Ah, that's what you think.
00:51:41You're just jealous.
00:51:42Cos she's married to my dad.
00:51:44And you think Donny's me, baby?
00:51:45Save yourself again, my dad.
00:51:47I'll break your faith.
00:51:50Hey, all right.
00:51:52I didn't mean it.
00:51:54Don't get excited.
00:52:00That wasn't bad at all.
00:52:02I'd prefer a tomato soup, mind you.
00:52:05A cup of tea now, just round it off.
00:52:07I had to dress your father's wound before they went out.
00:52:10It's a pity he hadn't been opening that Tim with his mouth.
00:52:12Billy, that's an incredibly cruel thing to say.
00:52:14It was an incredibly cruel thing you and Mavis did, leaving me with him,
00:52:16and then taking poor Lorna out and getting her pissed.
00:52:18She wasn't pissed.
00:52:20Anyway, she needed the brick.
00:52:23You'll take the kids away, you know.
00:52:25What's going to happen to Lorna once Andy has died,
00:52:28and the kids have grown up and left?
00:52:30She'll just carry on.
00:52:32Carry on doing what?
00:52:33She needs to get out of that house.
00:52:35Get a job.
00:52:36Start leading her own life.
00:52:38Oh, did you talk to her about that last night?
00:52:39Yes.
00:52:39We both did.
00:52:41Lorna had a ride with your father,
00:52:42so her and Mavis were a bit embarrassed at first.
00:52:44But Mavis is really nice.
00:52:46Oh, yeah.
00:52:47Coming over to steal your sisters is really nice, I suppose she is.
00:52:49Rubbish.
00:52:50Do you want Lorna to end up an old mate?
00:52:52You tend to see everything in relation to your ride with your father.
00:52:55Oh, my ride with my father?
00:52:56Is that all it was?
00:52:57Look, you and Mavis know nothing about it.
00:52:59Just because he's putting on his big,
00:53:00I'm a nice guy act for Mavis, you think we're exaggerating about it all?
00:53:03I didn't say that.
00:53:04No, you don't have to.
00:53:05It's written all over your face, Pauline.
00:53:07Just keep out of it.
00:53:08Something you don't understand.
00:53:10Billy, I think Lorna needs to strike out on her own.
00:53:12Look, don't talk about her as if she's an idiot.
00:53:14You're all at that.
00:53:15Lorna knows what she wants.
00:53:16She can think for herself.
00:53:18All I'm saying is...
00:53:19Just give it over, Pauline.
00:53:20You led a normal life.
00:53:21You don't know what it was really like for us.
00:53:23Don't be melodramatic.
00:53:28Where are you going?
00:53:29Oight.
00:53:30Oight, where to?
00:53:31You mind your own business.
00:53:32Billy, you're being ridiculous.
00:53:34Oh, first it was melodramatic, now it's ridiculous.
00:53:36I'll go before you run out of big words.
00:53:38Billy, I'm on your side.
00:53:39After your trouble is you don't even know what my side is.
00:53:46Well, what do the youngsters themselves think?
00:53:48Maureen wants to go, but Anne doesn't.
00:53:50See, the only one doesn't know any better.
00:53:53It's...
00:53:53It's...
00:53:54He's going well with.
00:53:55Taking the kids away and throwing me out.
00:53:57I cannot throw you out.
00:53:59Oh, gee.
00:54:01Anyway, sir.
00:54:02England's no place for youngsters.
00:54:05It's full of sex perverts and murderers.
00:54:10Maybe St Pauline seem to think it wouldn't be such a bad idea.
00:54:12Huh.
00:54:14They say I could get a job and lead my own life.
00:54:16Oh, ah.
00:54:17And whose life do they think they're leading at the minute, eh?
00:54:19Jeez, I can laugh at that bear.
00:54:21One of them's never ever had children of you.
00:54:23I can't ever have them a hell of a that day and know between them.
00:54:28Ah.
00:54:29Well, honey, eh?
00:54:31You'd better get ready.
00:54:32Get down the road for a pig.
00:54:36Billy?
00:54:37Oh.
00:54:37Is Pauline up with you?
00:54:38No.
00:54:42Is anything the matter?
00:54:44Yeah.
00:54:45I want to have a talk with you about my dad and the kids.
00:54:49I don't think there's much to say.
00:54:51He seems to have his mind near up.
00:54:53You know he's throwing me out as well.
00:54:54Are you not throwing you out?
00:54:56Oh, jeez.
00:54:57I don't know.
00:54:57Nobody seems too worried about what else.
00:54:59He did not do anything.
00:55:00He didn't mean it, right?
00:55:02Ah, well, I know your dog better than that.
00:55:06Why'd he say it if he didn't mean it, eh?
00:55:08Eh?
00:55:09Oh, no.
00:55:10No, you can't answer that.
00:55:14Well, I am.
00:55:16I'm supposed to be ready for a pet.
00:55:18You can't?
00:55:18No.
00:55:20Well, you're going ahead.
00:55:23Oh.
00:55:31What are you going to do?
00:55:33What can it, eh?
00:55:36Anne says she's not going.
00:55:37Anne?
00:55:38I'd have expected it the other way round.
00:55:40She doesn't like Mavis.
00:55:41Hey, well there's going to be a club for that soon.
00:55:43I like her, Billy.
00:55:45I can understand what she's trying to do.
00:55:49She thinks it's in my best interest in the long run.
00:55:52Well, how do you feel about that?
00:55:58I just don't know what I'm going to do without them.
00:56:03I've no right to feel that way.
00:56:07I just can't imagine this place without them.
00:56:13Why did they stay an alcoholic?
00:56:16He's right, though.
00:56:18I mean, he is our father.
00:56:20Now Mavis is their mother.
00:56:22What they're doing is right.
00:56:24Aye, well, it's not very well for Pauline and Mavis.
00:56:25They don't know what he was really like.
00:56:27I suppose Mavis would have married him if she'd known that.
00:56:29Aye, well, maybe it's about time we told her the whole story.
00:56:33Even if I could, I wouldn't.
00:56:36She's the best thing that ever happened to him.
00:56:38And the children are important to them.
00:56:40Aye.
00:56:44You know this.
00:56:46Last night with Mavis and Pauline,
00:56:48for the first time in my life I felt like a real person.
00:56:54I think you just enjoyed getting drunk.
00:56:57Aye, for all that it took.
00:56:58I think I'd have felt drunk if I'd just been drinking water.
00:57:03Where's Anne?
00:57:04Shall I have Joan somewhere following the bands or something?
00:57:07What bands?
00:57:08I don't know. A couple of bands in the room.
00:57:10You say that way, girl.
00:57:12Joan was a bad influence.
00:57:14She spends half her time chasing wee fellas in the other half of the entry with them.
00:57:18Hang him down to the corner.
00:57:19Don't you go any further now?
00:57:23Look, why don't we tell him they're just not going?
00:57:26I can't.
00:57:27Why not?
00:57:28Because it wouldn't make any difference.
00:57:30Look, that's not right!
00:57:32After all he's done, he's just gonna walk back in and wreck things again.
00:57:37Well, he shouldn't get away with it.
00:57:47Oh, I saw my first orange band tonight.
00:57:49Yes, I heard one earlier.
00:57:51Ach, we should have come over for the 12th.
00:57:54Oh, I'm sorry, love.
00:57:56Not at all sure I don't mind.
00:57:58Many a time I've stood and watched them myself.
00:57:59Well, I was surprised at how young they were.
00:58:02I'd always imagined them to be due and middle-aged men.
00:58:06Were you ever an orange man, Norman?
00:58:08No.
00:58:09Old fella was, though.
00:58:10He never missed at 12th.
00:58:12Why did he never join Mr. Morton?
00:58:15Ah, not really a joiner, I suppose.
00:58:18I remember taking Billy to the field once, though.
00:58:22He was really a wee toddler at the time.
00:58:24Lovely sunny day it was.
00:58:26I had to carry him on my shoulders most of the way.
00:58:29Sweat was running down my back.
00:58:30I thought he'd peed himself.
00:58:32Well, perhaps he can come back for it next year, I'd love to see.
00:58:35Aye, we'll do that.
00:58:37And you can try carrying Billy on your shoulders again.
00:58:42Hello, Pauline.
00:58:44Hello, Mummy and Daddy.
00:58:48Hello, Billy.
00:58:52They're very quiet.
00:58:54I always thought kidnappers would be noisy people.
00:59:03I think you could use a strong cup of black coffee.
00:59:06Oh, what could I use it for, Mummy?
00:59:08Beavis, come on.
00:59:09Leave the coffee, we're going to bed.
00:59:11Oh, go ahead, go ahead.
00:59:13Come on, young honeymooners, we understand, double police.
00:59:16Shut up, Billy.
00:59:16I mean, not that we've ever been on honeymoon ourselves.
00:59:19I mean, we can't get married.
00:59:20On Northern Ireland, you see, different religions.
00:59:23But we enjoy sex, don't we love?
00:59:24In the name of Jesus, boy.
00:59:26Norman, Norman, you go on in, I'll see to Billy.
00:59:28Oh, bloody sure you'll not.
00:59:29You'll not put up with that.
00:59:31Stupid wee friggers, drunk, come on.
00:59:32Oh, you'd better do what he says, Mummy.
00:59:34You wouldn't like Daddy when he's angry.
00:59:35Go on, Mr Morton.
00:59:36Mavis, I'll see to Billy.
00:59:37All right, all right.
00:59:40They're afraid of leaving us two together, you know?
00:59:42Afraid of something happening.
00:59:43See, my last mummy had a wee...
00:59:44Now, listen, you.
00:59:45I don't understand so much.
00:59:47Any more of that, I'll break your friggin' neck.
00:59:49Ah, damn that.
00:59:50Throw me out this time, old man.
00:59:52This time it's my place.
00:59:53Right.
00:59:53Norman, will you go to bed?
00:59:55I can take care of myself.
00:59:56Aye, all right.
00:59:56We've got two sex maniacs here.
01:00:00Paulie, are you going to shut that wee frigger up before I do?
01:00:03Look, will you go all ahead?
01:00:04A woman wants to finish her honeymoon?
01:00:06Sure, you never know.
01:00:07A Norway miracle, she'll maybe have a kid of her own,
01:00:10and do not have to kidnap my sisters!
01:00:19I'm sorry, Paulie.
01:00:30Well, aren't they?
01:00:32How am I going to say goodbye to those two?
01:00:40Don't come through it, love.
01:00:44It's easy to have come through worse than that.
01:00:47Mind you, like, you'll be a few tears.
01:00:51Why, not?
01:00:52The humble shame of that.
01:00:53The biggest shame of the world.
01:00:56I know she'll be good to them.
01:00:58Aye, of course she will.
01:01:00Mind you, like, she'll be strict.
01:01:02She's a strong one.
01:01:03No, they wouldn't worry about nonsense.
01:01:04They're nothing.
01:01:05Oh, but it's Anne I'm worried about.
01:01:07Yeah.
01:01:08If she was keen to go, it'd feel better, you know.
01:01:11I wouldn't worry any head about that one.
01:01:13Anne?
01:01:14She'll survive the head of the world, that one.
01:01:22You want them to go, don't you?
01:01:31Rather they left me than me leave them.
01:01:52Oh.
01:01:56Billy.
01:01:59Goodness, you gave me a fright.
01:02:06Can't you sleep?
01:02:10You should have hit me harder.
01:02:12Knocked me out.
01:02:14I will if you're ever a silly again.
01:02:20Would you like a cup of tea?
01:02:24Yes, please.
01:02:25In here or out there?
01:02:28Right here.
01:02:53I'm sorry about that earlier.
01:02:57Sorry just about what you said to me, or about what you said to your father as well?
01:03:02About it all.
01:03:06Well, why don't you tell your father that tomorrow?
01:03:09My daughter wouldn't know how to accept her apology.
01:03:15Honestly, you too.
01:03:17I mean, if he was about 25 years younger, or you were 25 years older, you could pose as twins.
01:03:23I've heard of some reasons for not apologising, but that just about beats them all.
01:03:30You must wonder what you would let yourself into.
01:03:32Oh, I can cope.
01:03:34We'll all get to know each other much more quickly this way.
01:03:38Unless we fall out.
01:03:40I don't believe in falling out, Billy.
01:03:43I believe in facing up to things and sorting them out.
01:03:47You know Anne doesn't want to go with you.
01:03:49Yes, I do.
01:03:50And if she gets any more encouragement from you, she'll be even more determined not to go.
01:03:53Well, she shouldn't be forced to go.
01:03:55Oh, come on now, Billy.
01:03:57I'm sure that you and Lorna have had to force her to do things before now.
01:04:00Nah, that's different.
01:04:01Yes, it is. It's different.
01:04:02It doesn't involve your father appearing to win over you.
01:04:05I don't care about that.
01:04:07I care about Anne, I care about Lorna.
01:04:09And what they want should be considered.
01:04:10Billy, we're not complete fools.
01:04:13There is no earthly way that those kids can leave without them and Lorna being hurt.
01:04:17But I feel it has to be done.
01:04:18Why?
01:04:19Don't shout.
01:04:28We feel that we can offer them quite a lot.
01:04:31And ultimately it will be good for Lorna.
01:04:33Oh, and how do you know that?
01:04:34Because I'm a woman.
01:04:36Because I feel that life should have more to offer her than the burdens of child rearing and looking after
01:04:40a sick old man.
01:04:41Oh yeah, you've got it all worked out, haven't you?
01:04:43No, not all of it.
01:04:46I don't want to leave here having made an enemy of you.
01:04:48I want to feel that we can come back.
01:04:50And that you and Pauline will visit us.
01:04:53Pauline wants to come.
01:04:55And she's big enough to do it on her own.
01:04:58Aye, well she'll probably have to.
01:05:00You're getting aggressive again, Billy.
01:05:04I'm going back to bed.
01:05:06Would you like some more tea?
01:05:08What?
01:05:08You can have a fraction of a cup.
01:05:11I've noticed that you and your father are great ones for that.
01:05:15Half.
01:05:17Three quarters.
01:05:19Two thirds.
01:05:22Whatever you like.
01:05:24Aye, all right.
01:05:26How much?
01:05:27Two thirds.
01:05:42What about you?
01:05:43What about you?
01:05:44You're supposed to make my doll in here.
01:05:45Have you seen him?
01:05:46I haven't here.
01:05:46What about you?
01:05:51You want another one?
01:05:53What's going on that pen?
01:05:54That's the same again.
01:05:55A pint of lager.
01:05:58Aye!
01:06:00Has Valerie been thumping you?
01:06:03Not right we are, Dad.
01:06:05Whatever you want, I wouldn't let me see the state I am.
01:06:08Hey, look.
01:06:09I was going well, right?
01:06:11I was going well.
01:06:12I slid.
01:06:14The old bastard stuck a boot in.
01:06:15I could be around about.
01:06:19Me and Horne's not getting there.
01:06:22If she could walk at her mouth, she'd win the bloody Olympic marathon.
01:06:27Yep, yep, yep.
01:06:29She never shuts bloody up.
01:06:30Ah, sure, what business is that of his?
01:06:35There's nothing.
01:06:37There's nothing.
01:06:44There's nothing about a bit of Shirley.
01:06:45Oh, jeez.
01:06:48Probably found out.
01:06:49Tell me a little lad.
01:06:51Ah, so marriage isn't great, eh?
01:06:54Jesus.
01:06:56Biggest mistake of my whole life.
01:06:59Tell you.
01:07:02Sometimes I feel like...
01:07:03just jumping from the top of that bloody ladder.
01:07:06Ah, well you're still at the windows, eh?
01:07:08Aye.
01:07:10I'm not the old dude.
01:07:13I can't make enough of the air windows.
01:07:15Hey, you could have caught that six months up the Crumlin Road.
01:07:18I don't know.
01:07:20Would you write in and report me?
01:07:21Six months in jail, got my bloody head shattered.
01:07:23Fuck that bad!
01:07:25Worse.
01:07:27Cheers.
01:07:31You're crazy.
01:07:34Where's your bloody dad?
01:07:36Fuck, he's got big Davey with him too.
01:07:38What?
01:07:38Hey, you!
01:07:39Get away, home the hell out of us!
01:07:41Hey, he's having a drink with me, all right?
01:07:45I'm not talking to you, Martin.
01:07:48Look, uh, bully.
01:07:49Sorry, I'd better get the hell out of this.
01:07:51No, you'll not.
01:07:52Look, I paid for that pint.
01:07:53He'll just drink it.
01:07:53I've already sat and waited for you.
01:07:55Aye, we should go in another five minutes till he tries to drink, right?
01:07:58This is none of your business, Martin.
01:08:00I'm having a quiet drink with Ian, will you just get lost?
01:08:05You gonna make me?
01:08:06Aye, certainly.
01:08:08Yeah, now take it easy, lads, take it easy.
01:08:11You know, you're too quick to rise, Billy, like your doll.
01:08:15I'm talking to Ian, and I want that get out of the way.
01:08:18Well, there's two of yous, two of us.
01:08:21Ah, Jesus.
01:08:22Now, here, just a minute.
01:08:23Look, Billy.
01:08:23Never mind.
01:08:24This has bugger all to do with you, but you don't frighten me.
01:08:27I don't have to frighten you, son.
01:08:29I can just take you outside and tear you apart.
01:08:32Aye, you can try it.
01:08:33Come on now, lads.
01:08:35For Christ's sake, Billy.
01:08:36Shut you up or I'll drop you.
01:08:37Now, your doll and me used to be good mates, son.
01:08:39But don't push it.
01:08:40You leave my doll out of it.
01:08:42If Agnew doesn't move, I'll move him, and you can do what the hell you like about it.
01:08:45If you lay a finger in, Tommy, I'll cripple you, son.
01:08:48You'll cripple me?
01:08:49I can only reason you two's in the UDA and not the Salvation Army is because you can't send me.
01:08:55You cheeky wee boss.
01:08:57I'll leave you so as that feignant nurse of yours won't recognise you.
01:09:01Hey, Tommy, I'd better go to the quarry.
01:09:03You stay there.
01:09:04I've warned you.
01:09:05Donny!
01:09:07What's going on?
01:09:09What about you, Norman?
01:09:10Oh, what's going on, son?
01:09:12Oh, your wee lad here's getting in pieces.
01:09:15He wants to have a go at me.
01:09:19Three of you?
01:09:21Oh, hey, look, it's not me, Norman, Mr. Martin.
01:09:23Look, I'm a bully here.
01:09:25I'm just rushing home to the wife.
01:09:26Well, it's you and this shit, eh?
01:09:32You game, son?
01:09:37I am game, Norman.
01:09:39Guess I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
01:09:43On you go, son.
01:09:45Right, you two.
01:09:47That's it.
01:09:50Now hold it, Norman.
01:09:53The wee lad had no probs.
01:09:55You and your own just met me.
01:09:58But the two of you together, no way.
01:10:00You backing down?
01:10:03Put it whatever way you like.
01:10:05But I'm not taking the two of yous.
01:10:08What about him?
01:10:10Oh, well, uh...
01:10:13He's sorry he started all this.
01:10:15And he wants to buy you a drink.
01:10:16He'll apologize.
01:10:19Four pints, is it?
01:10:24Five.
01:10:27You settle for a pint, sir?
01:10:30One?
01:10:33You bloody Martins.
01:10:35I'll buy the next one.
01:10:41Five pints, please.
01:10:48I thought Big Debbie was gonna cry when you hit him.
01:10:51I've told you.
01:10:52Never negotiate with the likes of them.
01:10:55Jays will earn that much from Chamberlain.
01:10:57Round here, the hard men are the ones who get the first dig in.
01:11:00Anyway, it didn't take you long to finish off our leg new.
01:11:03Ach, no problems.
01:11:05Hey, I-I-I-I couldn't like...
01:11:07Right, you know, downlaw and all that.
01:11:08Oh, sure, yeah.
01:11:09I'm sure you'd have spoiled the Martin double act.
01:11:11We only wanted you to howl the coach.
01:11:13Honestly, they fight like silly big youngsters.
01:11:15Oh, big youngsters, eh?
01:11:17I'd love to see the big youngsters who can fight like us.
01:11:20Don't know what Mavis is gonna say, Aunt Polly.
01:11:22Davey's a sleek and big git, so he is.
01:11:25Oh, I knowed what his game was.
01:11:26He'd have filled us full of drink.
01:11:28And then when he got half a dozen of his mates in,
01:11:30we'd have been kicked round the streets.
01:11:31Davey seems to forget him and me were all drinking buddies.
01:11:34I know his tricks.
01:11:35Put the heart across me.
01:11:36I thought you were fighting each other when you walked in.
01:11:38Fighting with each other?
01:11:39We'd been fighting with each other right I walked in
01:11:41that I had to carry him in.
01:11:44What's Polly gonna say to you, Ian?
01:11:46I think she should beat the tripe out of me.
01:11:51I couldn't care less.
01:11:53Hey, all the same, right, I'd better go, you know.
01:11:56It's a big day tomorrow, you know.
01:11:58You working that?
01:12:00Make sure you're up in the way before Tommy gets out of you.
01:12:03What?
01:12:05Was she right, didn't I?
01:12:06No, dear, did he?
01:12:07That's the trouble.
01:12:12Thanks, thanks a lot.
01:12:13See you.
01:12:14See you again.
01:12:15I'll see you, son.
01:12:18More tea?
01:12:19No, no, love, no.
01:12:20Here, hey, we'd better get up them two women, eh?
01:12:24Are you ready?
01:12:24I am.
01:12:25Come on.
01:12:26Well, it's really great to see you two together, yeah.
01:12:29Even if you are big hooligans.
01:12:31Oh, now, the night's young yet, we can still have a party.
01:12:33Hey, watch it, you.
01:12:34Just because you've stuck a lucky one up big, do you?
01:12:36You don't be getting on business.
01:12:37Oh, now, you watch it too.
01:12:39Oh, where are we?
01:12:39I forgot.
01:12:40See?
01:12:47I swear to God and hope to die.
01:12:49Oh, well, not.
01:12:50Not on a Sunday.
01:12:51Look, I've told you, we're friends now.
01:12:53And when will you be over?
01:12:54For Christmas.
01:12:55Christmas?
01:12:55That's not for ages.
01:12:56Will Pauline be with you?
01:12:57Of course.
01:12:59So, Will, we'll get one dead day, a present or two cheap ones.
01:13:02Well, we'll have to see how you behave, won't we?
01:13:04And will Lauren and Uncle Andy get over too?
01:13:06Aye, well, not all at once.
01:13:07I mean, well, it'll probably be too cold for Andy at Christmas.
01:13:11But, I mean, they'll be over at Easter or next summer.
01:13:14Will you write to me, Billy?
01:13:15Aye, sure.
01:13:16Pauline and Lauren will write to you too.
01:13:18What about me?
01:13:19Well, we'll write to you too.
01:13:21I'm going to ask Uncle Andy to write to me.
01:13:24Mava says we'll have a room each.
01:13:26With desks and dressers, you know.
01:13:27And my dad says I can have my own portable TV at Christmas.
01:13:30And there's two toilets in the house.
01:13:32And my dad says he'll take us to the pictures, you know.
01:13:36It's just going to be like having a real mummy and daddy.
01:13:45Hey, Billy!
01:13:48How you going?
01:13:49Yeah.
01:13:50All right.
01:13:52How's Valerie?
01:13:54Good whore.
01:13:57She's moved me into the back room.
01:14:03Look, hey, boy.
01:14:06You know, when I think of the old days.
01:14:08You know?
01:14:09Knocking about the corner, right?
01:14:12Hope my entry was sure, eh?
01:14:17All this bloody old marriage, look.
01:14:19Well, sure, you're still up the entry with Shirley, so what's changed?
01:14:25Everything's changed, mate.
01:14:29Hey, look.
01:14:30Bit of advice, fella.
01:14:33Don't you get married.
01:14:35Right?
01:14:36Cat!
01:14:37Aye.
01:14:37Well, I'm not planning to.
01:14:44Oh, here, hey.
01:14:46I saw you down on the new missus.
01:14:50Gee, wouldn't you think you'd have learned these lessons last time?
01:14:55Oh, hey.
01:14:56Uh, uh.
01:14:57Didn't mean it.
01:14:58He's all right this time.
01:15:01Aye.
01:15:03Hoo-hoo-hoo, hey.
01:15:04I think she's a bit of your right there.
01:15:06Aye.
01:15:07She is.
01:15:14See you later, Owen.
01:15:20Fire mine.
01:15:32Cricket.
01:15:34Gonna get pissed.
01:15:37Aye.
01:15:38Doesn't seem like a week.
01:15:40I do hope it's a good crossing for the girls' sake.
01:15:43I think we'll fly over at Christmas.
01:15:45I hate the boot.
01:15:46Ac, if you get a berth and get in early and get your head down, it's okay.
01:15:50I used to get seasick on the swings, I'm afraid.
01:15:56Look, um...
01:15:57Uh, if nobody minds, I'll, uh, I'll walk over.
01:16:00You know, I, um, just feel like a walk.
01:16:02That's all right, love.
01:16:14Maybe I should, uh...
01:16:15No, love.
01:16:21Your move.
01:16:24Huh?
01:16:26Huh?
01:16:27Huh?
01:16:29Huh?
01:16:30Huh?
01:16:31Huh?
01:16:32Look, maybe we should leave it.
01:16:33You're off your game tonight.
01:16:36Aye.
01:16:37Aye, uh...
01:16:38The old, uh...
01:16:40The old belly's playing me a little bit, you know.
01:16:42Ah.
01:16:43Sure, we can start over again tomorrow, when you're feeling better.
01:16:46Aye.
01:16:47Right.
