0:01:10 > 0:01:13You all right? Nobody see you?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15This is stupid! I'd like to know why we're still hiding.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Shh! Keep it down.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Anybody could come along.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22You walk on up. I'll wait here a wee while.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24For goodness' sake!

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Don't be crude.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- It shouldn't take anybody this long to go to the toilet.- Just give over!
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Don't embarrass him any more.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I haven't embarrassed him.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Here he comes at last.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I think I'll go on. See you tomorrow.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08- Goodnight, Ann.- Night, John.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26"Goodnight, love."
0:02:26 > 0:02:28This sounds serious.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Give over!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33He's changed, you know, John Fletcher.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I never used to like him,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38but he's better since our Billy kicked his head in.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40That's enough! You keep quiet about that.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- I'll see you tomorrow night, then. - Fine. Goodnight.- Night, Pauline.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39- Hey, Billy!- Ian.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Just going to take a wee look up the road before I go in.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Ah, it's dead quiet. Nobody about.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I thought I saw you talking to somebody when I was coming down.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Aye. Fletcher.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52HE LAUGHS
0:03:52 > 0:03:56The oul tummy's playing him up. Sure, he near had to run home.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Hey, where's Shirley?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Dunno. She'll be still in work.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05She's fine, then, or what?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Dunno.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11I still see her. Just letting her know she's not married to me yet.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14What's this I hear about you and wee Valerie Agnew?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Huh?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- That's nothing.- Not what I heard.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21I heard she's blew Shirley out.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Blew Shirley out?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Aye, that'll be the day.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Hi, what about your new girl?
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Which one?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Aye, now you're talking. Play the field. Best way, wha?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Depends how big your field is, mate.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41What?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'll see you tomorrow, Billy.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Aye. See you.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Here, put these out, will you?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23SHE POURS TEA
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You're up late.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Can't sleep if I go to bed early.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Were you out with Pauline?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Yep. Just went for a drive.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Lorna says Uncle Andy's coming here on Tuesday.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Welcome to the elders of the tribe.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's not a secret. And it's not as if she won't notice him.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- How long will he be here, Billy? - Probably a week or so.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I hope it is only a week. I wasn't even asked before it was arranged.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I've explained that! Come on, now. He's an old man. We're all he has.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03He was once nearly all we had, but he never did much for us.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04He helped me when Da threw me out.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- He did that because he hates Dad. - Should we not write and ask my da?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- I know what the answer'd be. - My da's away. We run the house now.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13My da'd tell him to get stuffed.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15He's a filthy oul brute, too.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Always spitting in the fire, turns my stomach.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- It's only a habit.- He's got a dozen habits, and they're all filthy!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25We don't get on, and you know that.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31The day of Mum's funeral, he sat there moaning I'd only put the skin of the tomatoes in his sandwiches.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I was confronted in front of everyone.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37It was only out of respect for Mum I didn't smash the plate over his head.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Remember he got drunk that day? And my da near hit him.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Yeah.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50SOFT DRUNKEN SINGING
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Are you all right, Dad?
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Course I'm all right.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It was for the best, love, wasn't it?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Course, dad.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19She's happy now.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24No more pain.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Aye.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28It's all over for her now.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35A good turnout, wasn't it?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37It was great, Dad.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39DRUNK SINGING RESUMES
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Come on. Away out to the fire.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I don't want to go out and sit with that oul shite.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Has he no bloody home to go to?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51He sounds drunk.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59He must only eat at funerals too.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Ah! The man himself.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Where did you get to?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Thought maybe we'd buried you by mistake. Here, do you want a beer?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18No.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20No, I'm all right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:35You lost a good woman in my sister today. I hope you realise that.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36I know she was a good woman!
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Doesn't need you to tell me that.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Aye.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Aye, well, mind you...
0:08:46 > 0:08:49you'll miss her now.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51She was a good girl, our Janet.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54One good girl.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Your wee childer there have lost their mother.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06See, they're the ones I feel sorry for.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Lorna's looked after them for years.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- They'll be all right. - It's not the same.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16A sister's a sister, but your mother's always your mother,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18that's what I always say,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21and our Janet was a good mother to them youngsters,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23now you can't take that away from her.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I'm not trying to take nothing away from her.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28She might be dead and gone now, but I'll speak up for her.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'm saying nothing about her!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I know the sort of things went on here at times.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'm no oul mug, you know.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39What are you talking about?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Uncle Andy, I think you should think about going, before it gets dark.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Dark or no dark, she was a good woman, that's all I'm saying.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Now, listen, you!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52If you've something to say to me, you get it off your chest now.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Pure and clear. No beating about the bush.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59No point in buying somebody flowers once they're dead.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02There was no roses when she was here.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04What the hell do you know about here?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05When did you ever bother with her?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Me and Janet was always very close.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Very close, my arse!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Come on, this isn't very nice, and Mum just gone.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Just gone, God love her. She's happier now than she ever was here.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Get up and the hell out of my house! - Jesus, why'd you spill the drink?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23If you don't get out of my house, it's your bloody blood I'll spill.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Oh, is that so? Going to beat me the way you beat her?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- What's going on? - Aye, your own son there.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Don't listen to him, Dad. - Take him away, son.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Take him away or I'll swing for him.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- I'll get his coat. - Houl on a minute, you.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'll walk with you, Uncle Andy.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Sit down, Dad. I'll make you a cup of tea.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43He should save his energy for the building sites of Birmingham!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Shut up and put this coat on! - Ah, for Jesus...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57If my dad finds out, he might come over and kick him out.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58It's time you were in bed. Come on.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- I haven't finished my tea. - Hurry up, it's late! Move it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04For goodness' sake!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07See the people in this house?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I'll not able to sleep if I get indigestion from rushing.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Goodnight, Lorna.- Goodnight, love.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Goodnight, Billy!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Do you want more tea?- Aye.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Not so much sugar this time.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- How's Pauline?- Oh, she's fine.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Are you going to bring her round?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Yeah, some night.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Is she still talking about going away?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Aye.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Well, it's up to her, isn't it?
0:12:05 > 0:12:10How many are you going to let walk away, Billy?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I didn't want you to go with June,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16but we could manage now, if it's just us.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18There's Uncle Andy now.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20That's only for a week, isn't it?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Billy!- It'll probably be more than a week. How much more depends on you.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Why wasn't I even asked?- I'm worried about him after the last attack.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It was just a fluke I went over that night.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33He could still be lying there, and he'd have died.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I'll have to mention it to Dad. He'll not be pleased.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Look, he doesn't want to come any more then you want him to.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I mean, just wait and see.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47He might be all right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56John and me's going to the pictures on Monday night.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02I'm away to my bed.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Billy!
0:13:04 > 0:13:07He's all right. You could be a bit friendlier.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Yeah, well, you better get somebody to look after the young ones.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I know!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Good afternoon, Mr Morrison. And how are we today?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24I'm bloody awful! You'll have to speak for yourself.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Oh, dear. Old grump again.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Come on, Mr Morrison, you should be happy.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- Sure, you're going home in a couple of days.- I'm not going home!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I'm going into lodgings.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Give us a drop of fresh water to rinse my face.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41The trouble you go to for those girls. I hope they appreciate it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Sister says after the visitors are gone, we've to dress you up
0:13:47 > 0:13:51and sit you out in the chair. Later on, we'll walk you up the ward.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Would you like that? - I can hardly wait(!)
0:13:55 > 0:13:59As long as I went down the corridor there. I don't want to be listening
0:13:59 > 0:14:02to the yapping and gurning of that lot in there.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- They're a lot of bloody oul women. - They're all very fond of you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Sammy's upset because you don't play him draughts any more.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It's an oul woman's game.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13He thinks it's because he beat you last time.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Beat me? Sure, he cheated like hell!
0:14:16 > 0:14:17I went out for a pee
0:14:17 > 0:14:21and he gave himself more crowners than the Royal Family has.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24What'll you do when you get out?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Do you play bowls?- No, I do not.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29That's a game for randy geriatrics.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I don't know what we're going to do with you. What do you play?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Russian Roulette's my game.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38But I've run out of partners for the minute.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42HE COUGHS
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Is Billy coming up today?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I don't know.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I don't think so. Didn't he say?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53He's more liable to tell his plans till you than till me.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55He didn't say he'd be up today.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01You realise he's just lost his mother?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03His mother?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yes, about a year ago. I know.
0:15:07 > 0:15:13Young fella like that gets daft notions after a shock like that.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Mr Morrison, whatever else I am,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I don't see myself as a substitute mother.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Billy and me are just friends.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Friends? Aye.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Just takes a wee while getting over the likes of that,
0:15:26 > 0:15:27is all I'm saying.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Oi.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Give us over that paper before you go.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- RADIO:- 'It's 10 minutes past 11.'
0:15:35 > 0:15:38'Now we'll look at one of the events in this year's festival.'
0:15:38 > 0:15:41You two will polish them shoes away before you're done.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Mine's the cleanest!- No, it's not! Sure it's not, Billy?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47They're both great. If you were in the army, you'd win prizes.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Uncle Andy was in the army, wasn't he, Billy?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Aye, according to him, he was. - He used to be in the jungle.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56He says he got medals for killing thousands of Japs.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- He was going to marry a Japanese princess once.- I don't believe that.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03What would a Japanese princess be doing in the jungle? Wise it!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Do you believe that, Billy? - Sometimes he exaggerates a bit.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- What's that mean? - It means he tells lies.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10He does not! He showed me her picture.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15He probably found it, or took it off a Jap he killed. He's an oul cod!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- I'm going to tell him on you! - I don't care.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- I'll tell him you called him a liar. - He probably knows he is anyway.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Oi! That's enough, you two.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Oh, look. Look at that one, the big cluster. I'd love that.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33You'd need a big cluster of money for that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35We don't want to go mad.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38That's just bloody typical! Oul skinflint!
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I must be mad for getting engaged to the likes of you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Well, shall we go and see what they have inside?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47You mean the cheap ones? It's not bloody Shirley you're marrying.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Why don't we go to a hardware shop
0:16:49 > 0:16:52and buy a brass curtain ring and have done with it?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Love, don't be like that about it!
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Hey, come here!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17THEY GIGGLE
0:17:17 > 0:17:18What's so funny?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Are you going out with Pauline, Billy?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23No, I'm going into town with Ian.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24SHE WHISPERS
0:17:24 > 0:17:26THEY LAUGH
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Maureen, stop it.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It's her, Billy, she's making me laugh.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34CAR DOORS CLOSE
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Hiyas.- Hi.- Hi, Lorna.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51What about you, Billy?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57That's not a bad oul day.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Aye, it's all right.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Sit down, John. I'm making a cup of tea.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Ach, no, love. - Sit down for a minute, sure.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Aye.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Well, just for a minute.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Billy?- No, I don't use them. Thanks.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Wise man.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Smoking's bad for you, John. - I know, love.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24It gives you brown stains on your teeth.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26When you kiss our Lorna, your breath'll be bad.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28That's enough, you two! Just behave.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33IAN WHISTLES
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Shirley!
0:18:44 > 0:18:45What about ye?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Didn't notice you there.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58That's a right day.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Are you talking to me? Cos if you are, I don't hear you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Just saying hello. - Shove your hellos up your arse.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10And another thing, if you've anything to say to me,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12the first thing you've to say is to apologise.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Ah...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Are you...
0:19:18 > 0:19:22I suppose you've heard about... me and Valerie?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Sure, she's been with that many, it's probably just your turn.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28She must be getting desperate.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I wouldn't be surprised, you'll be getting engaged next.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Ah. Well...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I told you.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38When you want to talk to me again, start with apologising.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Hope youse locked up well after youse.- Course I did.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- I thought you said you left the back door open.- Give over!
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Indeed, that wouldn't surprise me.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Coming up to a sick man with a fistful of bills.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07You told me to bring the mail. Them's all there was. It's not my fault.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10You might have known I didn't mean bills! In the name of Jesus.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13You shouldn't swear like that in front of our Maureen.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Aye.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I hope you didn't leave any lights burning.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Oul electricity's dear enough.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Make them fenian gits pay their way.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Uncle Andy, you're always gurning. - Never mind your cheek, young madam.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Our Lorna goes and cleans your house and all you do is yap.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Well, I'm a sick man. - You make me sick listening to you!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- My da said you'd have the face gurned off yourself.- Maureen!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Give us another one, Ann. - That's enough. Them's Uncle Andy's.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Let the childer tear away. Sure, they're only grapes.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47You could always carve boats with your penknife,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49the way you did when you were a prisoner of war.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Boutye.- Kept you?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Ah, sure, it's time enough.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Where's the rest?- Hospital.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- You right?- Could I have a word with you? Private, like.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I'm getting married.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Getting married?! What do you want to get married for?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I have to. Valerie's pregnant.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32BILLY LAUGHS
0:21:32 > 0:21:34IAN JOINS IN
0:21:34 > 0:21:35- Valerie Agnew?- Aye!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Well, how did it happen?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Aye.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Valerie... You know...
0:21:44 > 0:21:47We had that...intercoorse thing.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Yeah, well, I didn't think she was the Virgin Mary!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Well, how far is she?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Three months or so.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57We got engaged this morning.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- You kept quiet long enough! - I wanted to be sure.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Make sure I couldn't say no, before I said yes!
0:22:04 > 0:22:05What did her da say?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08He got me by the throat.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'd have dropped the oul get, but, like...
0:22:12 > 0:22:14You can't hit your own kid's granda!
0:22:14 > 0:22:16What about Shirley?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Doesn't know.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20I tried to explain.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23She thought I was trying to get going with her again and stormed off.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- You and Shirley's been going since we were at primary school.- I know!
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I didn't mean it!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I mean, I like Shirley.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33It was just...
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Behave yourself, you're almost a married man. Valerie's all right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41She...she's not bad, and...
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I wasn't the first, you know.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Well, start worrying if you're not the last.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- When's the big day? - As soon as possible,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51before the neighbours start to notice.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Yeah, well, most of them can count to ten.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I'm going down the registry office Monday.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Oh, I thought it'd be a cathedral.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00All in white, 100 guests, honeymoon in the Bahamas.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01You're close.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05City Hall, only mas and das, honeymoon in Bangor.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I was hoping, like...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11you'd be best man.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13You know me...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16..anything for a laugh!
0:23:19 > 0:23:20THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:23:25 > 0:23:26What?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Who told you that?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I saw it.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36I seen him here a while ago. He never said anything.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Swear to God, cross my heart and hope to die.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41How do you know? What finger was it on?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43That one. They're engaged.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45It's gorgeous, a big cluster.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Wait till I see him.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I'll give him a big cluster! Right across the bake!
0:23:53 > 0:23:55There's another wee thing.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I'm thinking of going into business, if you're interested.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59What as, a stud?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02HE LAUGHS
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Window cleaning. I'm buying a ladder.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08It could be a partnership.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- You mean you want half the money for the ladders.- Nah!
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Valerie's oul fella's looking after that.- I've got a job!
0:24:14 > 0:24:16You could work with me weekends.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Or nights. It's a few extra bob.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Are you buying two ladders?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25You could use a chair. You'll do the downstairs.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Catch yourself on!- I'm serious!
0:24:28 > 0:24:30An oul chair, up on the windowsills.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I can see me tramping around with a chair.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Look, I'm offering, favour for a mate.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37If you're not interested...
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Well, think about it. - I've thought about it!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I could earn more labouring where I am.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Are you going to live in her house?
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Wise up.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56We got a flat.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Her dad got it. It needs doing up, but it's all right.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Down Botanic Avenue, close to the railway station.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- Handy.- Why, going to wipe the train windows as they pass?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Look, you can laugh, mate, but I'm going to do all right.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Her da's got it all worked out.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16He'll probably give you a list of positions for the honeymoon.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19I could show him one or two.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Yeah, pity you hadn't known how to reverse.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Hey, uh...
0:25:26 > 0:25:29How about this girl of yours? Is this the big one?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Oh, she's about five foot six or seven.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Just cos you caught cold, doesn't mean I have to sneeze in sympathy.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Have you?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44You know. Got it yet?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47What do you think?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54What about Lorna and Fletcher, then?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Hey, no. I didn't mean...
0:26:08 > 0:26:12SHE SOBS
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Is he going to marry her?
0:26:14 > 0:26:15You know as much as I do.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- RADIO:- 'Time for a summary of the news.'
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Will you hurry up? You're going to be late for school!
0:26:20 > 0:26:23'...increase in drug smuggling across the border...'
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- I hate school on Mondays. - I hate school every day.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Run on. It'll not be so bad when you get into it.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30But I've a sore stomach.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Go on!
0:26:32 > 0:26:36And get straight home. I want dinner early, I'm going to the pictures.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Who's looking after us? - Ian and Valerie.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- What about Shirley? - Never mind that now.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Why do they have to come? We're not babies.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Well, stop acting like it and get ready for school.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Have you got that hair combed yet?
0:26:54 > 0:26:55KNOCK ON THE DOOR
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Come in.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Ann Martin?
0:27:11 > 0:27:16Miss Semple has told me all about your little episode.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18What have you to say for yourself, madam?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- (QUIET)- Sorry, sir. I lost my temper.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Indeed. Well, now I'm going to lose mine.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Miss Semple is one of my most conscientious teachers. A lady.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32She does not have to take abuse from a guttersnipe like you.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34If I had been here on Friday afternoon...
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You live with your brother and sister?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Yes, sir.- Will you stand still!
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Father away in England, is that correct?
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Yes, sir.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Mother deceased, correct?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Yes, sir.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Have you told your brother and sister about this little escapade?
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- No, sir.- Oh, you haven't? Not important, didn't you think?
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Maybe you're not being properly controlled at home.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- I am, sir. Honest... - Will you stand still?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's time some of you young thugs
0:28:16 > 0:28:19were taught a short sharp lesson in obedience. My staff should not
0:28:19 > 0:28:22and do not have to take abuse from the likes of you. Is that clear?
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Yes, sir. It'll never happen again, sir.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I'm going to ensure it won't, Martin.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32I'm going to suspend you, starting right away.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36You'll go home, and return on Friday morning with your older sister.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41I'll decide then whether I want you back at my school. Is that clear?
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Is that clear?!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Yes, sir.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Oh, stop crying. Your tears are lost on me.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Go, collect your belongings and be off the school premises immediately,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54until half past ten on Friday morning.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55- Please, sir...- Go!
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Now! Before I expel you on the spot!
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Friday at half past ten.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15You're lucky. I wish he'd suspend me. My ma'd get me a job.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Our Billy'll kill me if he finds out!
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Lorna near hit the roof.- What for?
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Sure, Watson's only an oul pervert. Toucher, the boys call him.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29He could get us put away in a home. That's what our Lorna said.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33He wouldn't dare. Your Billy'd kick his head in if he did.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44Do you want a puff?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47No. I'm in trouble enough.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I suppose your Billy doesn't allow you.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Will you be at the corner tonight?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54No. Lorna's going out.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- I'm going to lumber Stewartie tonight.- What?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58I thought he was dirty.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02He kisses like a film star. His hands are everywhere.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Our Billy'd kill me if I lumbered anybody.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Why? What does your Billy do with his girls?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I don't know.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I'll bet he does a lot more than just kiss them.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13He's lovely-looking, your Billy.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22I'll go down and do the dishes before my ma comes in. Maybe see you later.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24See you.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31What's going on between you and this...
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Nurse McGill one?
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Oh, we're just friends.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Friends? Think I'm a bloody fool?
0:30:40 > 0:30:41You know she's a mick?
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- Don't start! - Them kind of friends can be dangerous. You don't need them.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47You care what she is when she looks after you?
0:30:47 > 0:30:52Oh, well, I like her making my bed, but I don't want in it beside me.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Ah, come on! Sure, what about all your exploits?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59That was different. I was in foreign parts then,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01I wasn't resident in a bloody open-air asylum.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Nobody worries about them things now.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07In the name of Jesus, did your da beat you stupid or what?
0:31:07 > 0:31:11That's the sort of thing they take your kneecaps off for.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14That's if you're lucky.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17You don't know what horror her ones is involved in.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20I can look after myself! Will you quit fussing?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22It's me taking you home to look after you.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Ah, look after, me arse.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29If your da knew, he'd swim back across the Irish Sea.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- My da's got nothing to do with me. - Your da is your da.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I feel responsible for youse.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41He'd expect me to keep an eye out.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Listen, son, I'm giving you good advice.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Micks is all very well to make your bed in a hospital
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- or serve you a drink in a bar... - Look, I'm going.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Jesus, the sooner I get up there the better.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59You lot need a bit of fatherly advice.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Aye, that'll be new.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05TV: 'Perhaps the ancient Egyptians overreached themselves
0:32:05 > 0:32:06'with the unfinished obelisk.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09'It would have been the biggest one they made
0:32:09 > 0:32:12'but the discovery of flaws in the rock...'
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Our Lorna must think it's a midnight movie you're going to, John.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Some of the lads were asking why you weren't at the club again yesterday.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22I'm finished with that.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24They're expecting you back.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26I'm through with the UDA.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Just like that!
0:32:28 > 0:32:31My dues are paid up, and I'm stopping that. I'm leaving.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35You can't just do that. You know the rules.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38You'd floor anyone who tried that in your day.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Times have changed. I got into enough trouble through the UDA.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44That had nothing to do with the UDA.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- You got into a row. - It was a row about that.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49It had nothing to do with it! You were just shooting your mouth off.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54I don't know what you're slabbering for. Your UDA days are over.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Wha?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58"Wha? Wha?" You heard me. There'll be no more club on a Sunday for you.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Sure, your da goes!
0:33:00 > 0:33:04Aye, and many's the time my ma's had to scrape his dinner into the bin.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06It'll not happen with me.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Come on, now, love. I'll have to put my foot down on this one.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11You can put down whatever the hell you like.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13You're going to be a married man.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15John here's got more sense than you.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18We'll see. They'll not let him just walk out like that.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22I'll have a word with Big Davy. Him and me's mates.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26When you're having a word, tell him General Montgomery here's left too.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27He'll tell him nothing!
0:33:27 > 0:33:31They'll understand, Ian. After all, you're going to have a...
0:33:33 > 0:33:35In your circumstances.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Look, never mind that. There's plenty of them lads down that club...
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Ow! What the hell'd you do that for?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43There's children listening.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Well, anyway, I'm staying.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49You're only getting out cos you're yellow!
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Who are you calling yellow?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- You are!- Would you like to come outside and say that?
0:33:54 > 0:33:55John, what's going on?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- Aye, certainly.- Stop that!
0:33:57 > 0:33:58- Come on!- That's enough of that!
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Your street-fighting days are over, John.- Big man!
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Sit down and shut your gub!
0:34:03 > 0:34:06If it wasn't for Lorna, I'd take you out and wipe that street with you.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Any time you like, mouth!- Ian!
0:34:09 > 0:34:10Are you ready, John?
0:34:14 > 0:34:17TV: 'We know that like their descendants today,
0:34:17 > 0:34:20'the ancient Egyptians made extensive use of mud brick in their building,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23'not only to build their everyday houses...'
0:34:23 > 0:34:26OK, see you next week. Bye.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28PHONE IS HUNG UP
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Well, who was it? Boyfriend?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38My mother. Wanting to know why I wasn't over for dinner yesterday.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41See? You're even making me neglect my own family.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Hurry up, put that cigarette out. - I've an interview next Wednesday,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46for the job in Toronto!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- Well, I hope you don't get it. - Thanks.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52It's in the Europa at 7 o'clock.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54And when would you go if you get it?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Dunno. Early in the New Year?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Don't look so gloomy!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Maybe I'll not get it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Knowing my luck, probably not.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Why bother going for it, then?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08I have to, Billy.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10It's been a dream of mine for years.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I want to get out of this place.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Away from me?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I don't want to leave you, you know that.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22You don't make much sense at times.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24I want you to come with me.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26I can't, you know that.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Then make me a better offer.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Come on in.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38What was your uncle Andy saying about me?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Never mind him.- I do mind.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- Do you want a cup of coffee? - No, I do not. Will you come on in?!
0:35:44 > 0:35:47To your uncle Andy, I'm just a wee fenian.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49You just do this, then you're way in a half-hour.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Look, what do you want me to do?
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Stay with me!
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Come away with me!
0:35:58 > 0:35:59Billy...
0:36:02 > 0:36:05You used to say you'd never get married, Ian.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Are you making him, Valerie?- Course.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10I'm taking him before anybody else comes along and grabs him.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Don't think anybody else would want him.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Thanks very much. Cheeky bitch.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18I thought Shirley was the only girl you ever loved, Ian.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Did she throw you away?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Look, this is my true love.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23You're easily pleased.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Compliments are flying.- Our Billy's going with a nurse out of hospital.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29And she's a you-know-what, a fenian.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Uncle Andy says he'd kick him up the arse
0:36:31 > 0:36:33if he wasn't afraid of causing brain damage.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Do you like your uncle Andy?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Ian, you always ask me that.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42That's a sign you're going mad, when you start repeating yourself.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Are you going to have a big white dress, Valerie?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Nah, just a suit.- I hate that.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50When I get married, I'll have a big white dress with a dead long veil.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I'm never going to get married.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Your da will never approve, will he?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I don't know, John.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08SEABIRDS CALL
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I love the sea.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22I'd like to live beside it.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Down here?
0:37:23 > 0:37:24No.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29It's too tame here.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Somewhere more remote.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Where it's wilder.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42Ian got brave all of a sudden.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I remember the time he was afraid to say boo to me.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58I don't want you to leave things and change just for me.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I want you to do just what you want to do.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I know.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Same thing.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21BOAT BLOWS ITS HORN
0:38:28 > 0:38:30My mother loved the sea.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Used to take us down to Bangor.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I don't really remember it.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Sand, water...
0:38:44 > 0:38:47But she used to tell me about it.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Your da was bad to her, wasn't he?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53They loved each other.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57They just couldn't live together.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01There used to be a lot of gossip.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05I guess.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06There was.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Eat up all that toast, now. There's plenty of good butter on it.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18You're not supposed to put butter on toast.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20We use marge. The butter's for our Billy's piece.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Sure, it'll not matter just this once.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26It's bedtime when you've finished that, girls.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28I'm writing a letter to my da.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29My da's got a girlfriend.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Maureen! That's private. Our Lorna will kill you.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Eh?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36The boul Norman's got a girlfriend?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39No, he hasn't! And the last time you called him Norman,
0:39:39 > 0:39:42he bounced your head off that wall and had you crying.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Are youse looking forward to having your uncle Andy, girls?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47He's good for a laugh.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51I remember going over to see him a few times with Billy.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- Wonder will he remember me. - How could he forget?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59He used to have a big orange cat, didn't he?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01THEY GIGGLE
0:40:02 > 0:40:03Is he bringing it here?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05No. He says the Chinese restaurants got it,
0:40:05 > 0:40:07and made puss-puss-poo out of it!
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Billy always used to cadge a few bob off him.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15He seemed a right sort.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18He didn't like your da.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Ian, you'd better leave my da alone!
0:40:20 > 0:40:23At least he wasn't like your da, going to the park
0:40:23 > 0:40:26and look up the wee girls' clothes when they were on the swings!
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Do you have to go?
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Yeah.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Lorna'll set up for me.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50You're very close, aren't you?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53We've had to be.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Are you jealous of this boyfriend, John Fletcher?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Don't be daft.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Jealous!
0:41:04 > 0:41:06She's my sister.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Your sister, your mother, your mistress.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11The only woman you've ever loved.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13That's rubbish.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17I'd love to get you on your knees, Billy.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21I'd love to have your strength and you my weakness, I'd love to see what that would do to you.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25- Is there anything you're afraid of? - I'm afraid of dying of cancer, like my ma!
0:41:27 > 0:41:32I'm afraid of...making all the wrong choices and messing everything up the way my da did.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Why can't we just be friends and not have all this serious stuff?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Sorry, I thought what we just done made it serious.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46Yes, we can just be friends, pen pals if I get this job.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- Any more tea, love?- Get lost, you! You weren't even supposed to get that until I came in.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Sorry, we're late. We stopped to have chips.- That's all right.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05What was the picture like?
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Don't tell me anything about it. Ian's taking me on Thursday.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Since when?- Since bloody now!
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Yes, all right, love. Don't get excited.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16I adore Paul Newman, he's gorgeous.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19"Oh, Paul Newman!" Sure, he's as grey as a badger!
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Don't you dare say a thing about him!
0:42:21 > 0:42:22Being as grey as a badger
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- isn't as bad as looking like a drowned rat.- Who looks like a rat?
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Actually, we didn't go to the pictures.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- We went to Holywood for a stroll by the sea.- Look, folks, time I was away. Night, all.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32- Night, John.- Night, John.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- Did the girls behave themselves, Valerie?- No problem at all.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40She put Billy's butter on their toast by accident.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41It doesn't matter.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43CAR DOOR OPENS
0:42:43 > 0:42:46There's a car. Must be our Billy now.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Got a car 'an all. That's all right!
0:42:50 > 0:42:55- Er, this is Pauline. Lorna, Valerie, Ian.- Hello.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- What about you, Pauline.- Hello. - Sit down now.- Thanks.
0:42:57 > 0:43:04- Hello.- Seen you in the hospital. - Do you like my ring, Billy? - Oh, that's a smasher.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06That must have set you back a bob or two.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10It's only money. She's going to weighed down with rings and things when I get this business going.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Did you see it, love?
0:43:12 > 0:43:14It's beautiful. Congratulations.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17That's the sort of thing you want to get out of this character.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Ah, what about a wee cup of tea, folks?
0:43:20 > 0:43:24- Are you making it?- Valerie will. Won't you, love?- In her condition. Get away! You do it.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Here, I wish it was you I was marrying.
0:43:27 > 0:43:28- Are you serious?- Course I am.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32If she's going to have your baby, she needs rest and looking after.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Go on, we're all gasping!
0:43:34 > 0:43:37The girls will be raging that they missed you, Pauline.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41- You'll have to call round and meet them sometime. - Of course. I'd love to.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44I don't know how you can be a nurse, the blood an' all
0:43:44 > 0:43:46and washing round dirty old men.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50- They're not all like Uncle Andy. - Do you go to operations an' all? - I have done.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53- You get used to it. - I'd get sick, I really would.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56IAN: What's all this about the boul Norman having a girlfriend?
0:43:56 > 0:43:57Who said that?
0:43:59 > 0:44:03Er, just one of the kids. It's probably just a wee joke, Billy.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07And you can't make tea very well either.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Are you looking forward to it all now, Valerie?
0:44:10 > 0:44:12In a way I am and I'm not, you know.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15The worst bit was telling my ma and da, specially my da,
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- but he's been really great.- I can just imagine my da if it was me.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Could be you soon.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25- I mean, getting married. - I'll tell you what it's like before you do it, Lorna.
0:44:25 > 0:44:29- Would your da come over if you were getting married? - Of course he would.
0:44:29 > 0:44:30The best man. The boul Norman!
0:44:30 > 0:44:32What's all this boul Norman stuff about?
0:44:32 > 0:44:36- There's no harm in it. it's just an expression.- Well, just drop it! - All right, mate.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Hey, look, we'd better shift.
0:44:41 > 0:44:47- You know what they say about pregnant women being out late at night. - No, what do they say?- What?
0:44:47 > 0:44:48Forget it. Move.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- Thanks very much. I'll do the same for you sometime.- OK, Lorna.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55- See you again, Pauline.- Nice meeting you, Pauline.- See youse.- Cheerio, Billy.- See you, Billy.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03- He seems to have knack for putting his foot in it. - Someday I'll put my foot in him.
0:45:03 > 0:45:08- You're too quick-tempered. He seems harmless.- Och, he's just a bit of an eejit, Ian.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11- What is all this girlfriend nonsense?- I'd better go.
0:45:11 > 0:45:12Don't rush off.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15I had a letter this morning.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16It's up there.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21He's going with some English woman.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23He says he'd like to bring her over to meet us,
0:45:23 > 0:45:26that it might give us notions of a new ma.
0:45:26 > 0:45:27Aye, can walk on eggs!
0:45:29 > 0:45:32- Are you all ready for Mr Morrison arriving?- As ready as I'll ever be.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34I suppose you'll be glad to get rid of him.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36He's a character.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39If you like, I'll come round now and again, give you a break.
0:45:39 > 0:45:40That'd be marvellous.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44Sure, you can drop round any time, you don't have to wait on Billy.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46Are you thinking of getting married yourself?
0:45:46 > 0:45:49I'm not indeed, it's just Valerie!
0:45:49 > 0:45:51John's just a friend.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55- I hate to break this up, girls, but I have to get up in the morning. - So have I.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57It was really lovely to meet you, Lorna.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01Maybe we could go out some evening, give you a break from the kids and Mr Morrison.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03That'd be really great.
0:46:11 > 0:46:12CAR DOOR SHUTS
0:46:13 > 0:46:15CAR ENGINE STARTS
0:46:33 > 0:46:34What did you think?
0:46:34 > 0:46:35She's lovely.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38I'd love to go out with her some night.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41Maybe you'll be the next one to get married.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45What's the boul Norman's girlfriend called?
0:46:49 > 0:46:52- Here's the letter. - I don't want to read the letter.
0:46:52 > 0:46:53What's her name anyway?
0:46:55 > 0:46:56Mavis.
0:46:56 > 0:46:57Ha! Save us, Mavis!
0:46:59 > 0:47:00What else does he say about her?
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Why don't you just read the letter?
0:47:05 > 0:47:07Pauline's going away.
0:47:08 > 0:47:09Canada.
0:47:14 > 0:47:15Have you asked her to stay?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25You're so like Dad, you know.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Keeping everything bottled up inside you.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35- It doesn't make you any less of a man to let someone know how you feel. - Suppose you don't know?
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Marry her or...
0:47:40 > 0:47:41..go with her or...
0:47:43 > 0:47:44Is that what she said?
0:47:45 > 0:47:46More or less.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50She might settle for me just living with her.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56So why don't you do that?
0:47:58 > 0:48:02Cos I'm afraid a week after I'd got her, I'd discover she's not what I want.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09I'd love to see you happy, Billy.
0:48:10 > 0:48:11Aye.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15I'd love to see you seeing me happy.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22NEWS COMMENTARY IN BACKGROUND
0:48:22 > 0:48:26- Will you be straight home? - Aye, I'll be going up to see Pauline but I'll not be late.
0:48:30 > 0:48:31What's for my piece?
0:48:31 > 0:48:34- I just gave you bread and butter and two bananas.- Any buns?
0:48:34 > 0:48:37Ann got you two of those big blackcurrant squares that you like.
0:48:37 > 0:48:41Uncle Andy used to say they were a mixture of dead flies and dried scabs.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- If he starts any of that talk here...- It's all right.
0:48:48 > 0:48:49- Billy.- What?

0:48:58 > 0:49:01It's that new headmaster trying to make a name for himself.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03When did this happen?
0:49:03 > 0:49:05On Friday...
0:49:05 > 0:49:08but she wasn't suspended until yesterday.

0:50:05 > 0:50:07A wee cup would have been lovely.
0:50:07 > 0:50:13- Sure I can boil a wee jug for you. - Nice fresh drop now cos stewed tea's bad for my chest.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16Are you going to die, Uncle Andy?
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Who's to know that, child, eh?

0:51:06 > 0:51:08Would we?
0:51:08 > 0:51:11- I think so.- Well, you're the nurse, you know the treatment.
0:51:11 > 0:51:14What is wrong with you, Billy?
0:51:14 > 0:51:17You don't know what you want and you're suspicious of what I want.
0:51:19 > 0:51:20Stay.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23I'll play some music.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25I'd better go.

0:51:28 > 0:51:29To hell with Uncle Andy!
0:51:29 > 0:51:33- I suppose he wouldn't approve of you being with me right enough. - Look, I decide who I see.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05- I'll just put this jar in your bed. - Aye.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08There's a nice welcome on my first night here(!)
0:56:08 > 0:56:10Him never in yet.

0:56:23 > 0:56:25We haven't had one of those for years.
0:56:25 > 0:56:27What happens if I have to go in the night?
0:56:27 > 0:56:30You don't expect me to go out into the yard, do you?
0:56:30 > 0:56:33We haven't got one.
0:56:33 > 0:56:34I never thought of it.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Have you not got a bucket?

0:56:50 > 0:56:53Well, you could have called round when you were home.
0:56:53 > 0:56:58I ran after you before, Billy. What good did it do me?
0:56:58 > 0:57:00I was never a letter writer.
0:57:01 > 0:57:04- When do you go back? - Next Friday.
0:57:04 > 0:57:08I should have been back a week ago but Mum got a bad flu.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13- Is it good, then? - It was hell at first.
0:57:13 > 0:57:14I was homesick.
0:57:16 > 0:57:17I missed you.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21But I'm well settled now.
0:57:22 > 0:57:26- Got a boyfriend over there? - Yes, we're doing the same course so we've a lot in common.
0:57:28 > 0:57:32More your type, then. Not common and ignorant like me.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35He's coming over in the new year to meet Mum.
0:57:35 > 0:57:36Then we're getting engaged.
0:57:40 > 0:57:42That should keep her happy.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56Cold out here.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00I've never had to stand down here before.
0:58:00 > 0:58:03I didn't want Mum to have a relapse.
0:58:21 > 0:58:23- Better go in, in case she wakens up. - Mm-hm.
0:58:26 > 0:58:27Right.
0:58:31 > 0:58:33I'll run along.
0:58:38 > 0:58:39Be seeing you.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06We had a good time yesterday.
0:59:10 > 0:59:12Who was your letter from?
0:59:12 > 0:59:16June. Well, you know what educated people are like -
0:59:16 > 0:59:20talking's not good enough for them, they've got to write everything down.
0:59:20 > 0:59:23Did you really want back with her?
0:59:23 > 0:59:24I don't know.
0:59:25 > 0:59:27Maybe I was just being greedy.
0:59:31 > 0:59:32I'd rather have Pauline.
0:59:35 > 0:59:36Aye.
0:59:39 > 0:59:40It's time I wasn't here.
0:59:41 > 0:59:44- Hope Uncle Andy gives that Watson a good telling off. - I'd rather go on my own.
0:59:44 > 0:59:49- God knows what he'll come out with. - You just look out for Ann. Don't let them make a fool of her.

1:00:04 > 1:00:07I'm sure you'll not. That's one old game's not going to start -
1:00:07 > 1:00:09people running all the time.
1:00:09 > 1:00:10You'll do it yourself.
1:00:10 > 1:00:12What? The whole lot?
1:00:12 > 1:00:15I really thought you'd leave it half done.
1:00:15 > 1:00:17Well, I've never papered before.
1:00:17 > 1:00:19My da told you how to do it.
1:00:21 > 1:00:24I'll maybe get Lorna to give me a wee hand to sew up the curtains.
1:00:24 > 1:00:26- She's a great sewer, Lorna.- Aye.
1:00:26 > 1:00:29- You going to help me out, pet? - Ah, shut up gurning.

1:00:51 > 1:00:52Huh?
1:00:52 > 1:00:55Not at all, I'm Mr Morrison.
1:00:55 > 1:00:58I'm her Uncle Andy. I live with them,
1:00:58 > 1:01:02keep an eye on them, keep them in order.
1:01:02 > 1:01:03Quite.
1:01:03 > 1:01:08Well, I'm sure this young lady has told you what happened.
1:01:08 > 1:01:11She used abusive language to Miss Semple.
1:01:11 > 1:01:15She also threw a book, striking Miss Semple on the shoulder.
1:01:15 > 1:01:19And to make matters worse, the book that she threw was the Bible.
1:01:20 > 1:01:23Such conduct cannot be tolerated.
1:01:23 > 1:01:26I was actually off on Friday afternoon when it happened,
1:01:26 > 1:01:29otherwise she'd have a pair of sore hands to go with her suspension.
1:01:29 > 1:01:32Well, before I'm prepared to readmit her...
1:01:32 > 1:01:37Did you know that your Miss Semple insulted the child's father?
1:01:37 > 1:01:41Well, I wouldn't have considered what Miss Semple said to be offensive.
1:01:41 > 1:01:43But she didn't say it about YOUR da.
1:01:43 > 1:01:47Mr Morrison, please will you let me get on and conclude this matter?
1:01:47 > 1:01:53Now, readmission depends on the assurances of all three of you that it will never happen again.
1:01:53 > 1:01:59Also I shall expect this young lady to make a full and acceptable apology to Miss Semple.
1:01:59 > 1:02:03Of course, Mr Watson. She's sorry and it'll never happen again.
1:02:04 > 1:02:05Well, young lady,
1:02:05 > 1:02:09well, what have you to say for yourself?
1:02:09 > 1:02:10- (Sorry.)- Speak up!
1:02:10 > 1:02:14- You had no difficulty making yourself heard last Friday. - She said she's sorry!
1:02:14 > 1:02:16She can speak for herself.
1:02:18 > 1:02:23- Right, I'll have Miss Semple round and we can all bear witness to this apology.- In the name of Jesus!
1:02:23 > 1:02:26- Uncle Andy, for goodness' sake!- Ach, away, he's heard language before.
1:02:26 > 1:02:29Wh-what is it you want from this child, huh?
1:02:29 > 1:02:32Or are we going to have to call in the United Nations peacekeeping force
1:02:32 > 1:02:35to stand between her and this Semple woman?
1:02:35 > 1:02:38Mr Morrison, you're not making matters any better for her.
1:02:38 > 1:02:41Is a child not going to be allowed to defend her own father?
1:02:41 > 1:02:46- Should it not be your Miss Semple apologising to her for provoking her?- Uncle Andy!- Oh.
1:02:46 > 1:02:52Look, Mr Watson, she says she's sorry and you can see she means it.
1:02:52 > 1:02:57She doesn't have to say it again. Now, I'd like her back at school again immediately.
1:02:57 > 1:03:00Maybe we should take her down to your bosses down there in Academy Street
1:03:00 > 1:03:06and place her in a school where her da's good name will not be dragged through the mud.
1:03:06 > 1:03:09I'm telling you, your Miss Semple's one lucky woman he wasn't here himself.
1:03:09 > 1:03:12Mr Watson, will you please take Ann back to school.
1:03:14 > 1:03:17All right, I'll pass on Ann's apology to Miss Semple
1:03:17 > 1:03:19and we'll say no more about it.
1:03:19 > 1:03:22She can return to school on Monday morning.
1:03:22 > 1:03:23Thank you, Mr Watson.
1:03:23 > 1:03:28Mind you, good teachers aren't what they were in my day.
1:03:28 > 1:03:32- In my day, a teacher was liked and respected.- Come on.
1:03:32 > 1:03:35Huh? Oh.
1:03:35 > 1:03:36Eh?
1:03:51 > 1:03:54I must be mad, absolutely insane.
1:03:54 > 1:03:56Do you want to go for a drink?
1:03:56 > 1:03:59No, let's just go for a stroll round the block.
1:04:12 > 1:04:13I'm going away tonight.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15Mum's leaving for the boat.
1:04:18 > 1:04:20What about the English boyfriend?
1:04:22 > 1:04:23I don't know right now.
1:04:27 > 1:04:29Will you write to me this time, Billy?
1:04:29 > 1:04:31I was never a great letter writer.
1:04:31 > 1:04:34I don't want literature, just contact.
1:04:34 > 1:04:36All right.
1:04:42 > 1:04:43Hello, Billy.
1:04:46 > 1:04:47Er...
1:04:48 > 1:04:49..this is June.
1:04:50 > 1:04:52June, this is Pauline.
1:04:52 > 1:04:54Pauline's a nurse.
1:04:55 > 1:04:57She looked after Uncle Andy.
1:04:57 > 1:05:00You should collect butterflies, Billy.
1:05:09 > 1:05:13Now that Lorna's found a boyfriend, it's nice to see you've found someone else to nurse you.
1:05:13 > 1:05:17You cheeky bitch! Don't you think your fancy university education
1:05:17 > 1:05:19gives you the right to talk down to me.
1:05:19 > 1:05:22I'll never beat you, Billy, even with my education.
1:05:22 > 1:05:23CAR WON'T START
1:05:23 > 1:05:26I'll be damned if I stop trying to defend myself.
1:05:26 > 1:05:28CAR STILL WON'T START
1:05:28 > 1:05:30I think your nurse needs a push.
1:05:31 > 1:05:34Ah, go back to your pansy English boyfriend!
1:05:34 > 1:05:38Somebody your snobbish old ma's stupid enough to appreciate.
1:05:38 > 1:05:39CAR STILL WON'T START
1:05:42 > 1:05:44Look, do you want a push?
1:05:47 > 1:05:49- Push off, Billy! - Pauline, she's just an old friend.
1:05:49 > 1:05:52And I'm just your Uncle Andy's old nurse.
1:06:07 > 1:06:09HUBBUB OF CONVERSATION
1:06:14 > 1:06:15So, what did they say?
1:06:15 > 1:06:18Emphysema with complications, they call it.
1:06:18 > 1:06:23Sounds like a bad bet in the Grand National.
1:06:23 > 1:06:26- Didn't you ask them? - As far as I'm concerned,
1:06:26 > 1:06:31it's only another fancy word they're using for to get me back in.
1:06:35 > 1:06:42- Uncle Andy, you can't...- Look, I didn't come here to talk about the mumbo-jumbo of bloody witchdoctors.
1:06:42 > 1:06:44It's taken the flavour off my drink.
1:06:44 > 1:06:47What about you, Billy? >
1:06:49 > 1:06:52My God, the silver chamois.
1:06:52 > 1:06:53Are you having one?
1:06:53 > 1:06:55No, I'm just on my way home...
1:06:56 > 1:06:58..the windies.
1:07:00 > 1:07:03I finish here the day. Not see the ladders outside?
1:07:03 > 1:07:08Oh, aye, here. I see a fella walking off with a pair of ladders just as we were coming in there.
1:07:08 > 1:07:11- Walking off?- Aye.
1:07:11 > 1:07:13Oh, Christ alive!
1:07:13 > 1:07:16ANDY CHUCKLES
1:07:16 > 1:07:19Oh, look. What an eejit, eh?
1:07:19 > 1:07:20Oh!
1:07:20 > 1:07:25The like of those bringing children into the world! Jeez, I don't know.
1:07:29 > 1:07:32How about you and your nurse, then?
1:07:32 > 1:07:34Oh, you'll be pleased to hear we fell out...
1:07:34 > 1:07:36about a fortnight ago.
1:07:36 > 1:07:37Oh.
1:07:39 > 1:07:41She still drops up, though,
1:07:41 > 1:07:42to see Lorna, like.
1:07:44 > 1:07:47You know, I reckon you could do worse.
1:07:50 > 1:07:51Hmm...
1:07:53 > 1:07:56Yeah, well, I'll hang on till I can do better.
1:07:56 > 1:07:58Do you want another one?
1:07:58 > 1:07:59Huh?
1:08:00 > 1:08:03Nah. Nah, it's got no taste tonight.
1:08:05 > 1:08:07Better go on home to bed.
1:08:10 > 1:08:13Look, I've just to go a wee message. Can you get back all right?
1:08:13 > 1:08:15Aye.
1:08:17 > 1:08:21Listen, son, er, I know the score, all right?
1:08:21 > 1:08:25Huh? I'll put my house in the hands of an agent.
1:08:25 > 1:08:27And anything I have and whatever the house gets...
1:08:28 > 1:08:30..you're the one, right?
1:08:45 > 1:08:46Here...
1:08:50 > 1:08:51This is for you.
1:08:53 > 1:08:54A wee surprise, like.
1:09:10 > 1:09:11An engagement ring?
1:09:11 > 1:09:13If it doesn't fit, we can get it changed.
1:09:17 > 1:09:18John, I can't take this.
1:09:19 > 1:09:20What?
1:09:21 > 1:09:23Why not?
1:09:23 > 1:09:27I mean, we don't have to decide on anything else, not yet.
1:09:28 > 1:09:30Why did you do that?
1:09:31 > 1:09:33Why didn't you ask me?
1:09:33 > 1:09:35I wanted it to be a surprise.
1:09:37 > 1:09:39John...
1:09:42 > 1:09:43John...
1:09:45 > 1:09:47I like you.
1:09:48 > 1:09:51I enjoy going out in the car and all that.
1:09:54 > 1:09:57I'm all right for driving the car, but...
1:09:57 > 1:09:59- not good enough to marry.- Marry?!
1:10:02 > 1:10:04We never even mentioned marriage.
1:10:06 > 1:10:08I never even thought about marrying you.
1:10:11 > 1:10:12It's him, isn't it?
1:10:15 > 1:10:17Big brother bloody Billy!
1:10:20 > 1:10:22He doesn't think I'm good enough for you.
1:10:23 > 1:10:25I'm as good as bloody him!
1:10:25 > 1:10:28It's got nothing to do with Billy!
1:10:28 > 1:10:29It's me!
1:10:31 > 1:10:33I don't love you, John.
1:10:36 > 1:10:37It's never been like that.
1:10:40 > 1:10:41I'm sorry.
1:10:42 > 1:10:44You've made a fool out of me.
1:10:46 > 1:10:50- Bloody stupid fool!- No! - Yes, you bloody have!
1:10:50 > 1:10:52You're just another bloody Martin!
1:10:54 > 1:10:55Lorna, why's he shouting?
1:10:55 > 1:10:58Are you all right?
1:10:58 > 1:11:00SHE SOBS I'm fine.
1:11:00 > 1:11:02Go back to bed, love. I'm fine.
1:11:02 > 1:11:04You was crying, Lorna.
1:11:06 > 1:11:08Oh, don't you cry.
1:11:15 > 1:11:16In the name of Jesus!
1:11:18 > 1:11:19I'll make a cup of tea.
1:11:21 > 1:11:24I've got to like him, like having him around.
1:11:24 > 1:11:27Is that all you came round for, to consult me?
1:11:28 > 1:11:29Do you want me stay away?
1:11:29 > 1:11:32I know I'm a fool, Billy, but don't rub my nose in it.
1:11:34 > 1:11:36I'm sorry, Pauline.
1:11:38 > 1:11:39I mean that.
1:11:39 > 1:11:41What is it you mean, Billy?
1:11:41 > 1:11:43I'm never totally certain with you.
1:11:43 > 1:11:48You're like a pet dog that gets so excited it bites instead of licking.
1:11:49 > 1:11:51Wouldn't be so bad if you were a small, gentle dog.
1:11:55 > 1:11:56I got a letter today.
1:11:59 > 1:12:01I've been offered the Canadian job.
1:12:01 > 1:12:03I start at the beginning of February.
1:12:06 > 1:12:10- Have you accepted?- They assume that unless I let them know otherwise.
1:12:17 > 1:12:18I'd better go.
1:12:26 > 1:12:28I hope it works out.
1:12:30 > 1:12:32I'll make sure it does, Billy,
1:12:32 > 1:12:37and I'll find a boyfriend who makes me smile and lets me laugh.
1:12:41 > 1:12:42WHISTLES HAPPILY
1:12:48 > 1:12:49You!
1:12:49 > 1:12:51Couldn't be better.
1:12:54 > 1:12:56John, what about you?
1:12:56 > 1:12:59It's third time lucky for you.
1:13:01 > 1:13:02You wanted a go twice...
1:13:04 > 1:13:06..and now's your chance.
1:13:07 > 1:13:10I'm, er... I'm in a wee bit of a hurry, John.
1:13:10 > 1:13:12Wife's not well, you know.
1:13:14 > 1:13:15BOTTLES FALL
1:13:15 > 1:13:16Oh, Jesus!
1:13:18 > 1:13:19Agh!
1:13:19 > 1:13:22Look, John, don't do it.
1:13:22 > 1:13:24THUMP! Agh!
1:13:26 > 1:13:27Agh!
1:13:28 > 1:13:29IAN COUGHS
1:13:32 > 1:13:34Agh! Agh!
1:13:34 > 1:13:35IAN WHIMPERS
1:13:46 > 1:13:47DOG BARKS
1:14:03 > 1:14:05- How is he?- He's all right.
1:14:06 > 1:14:09They're keeping him in overnight.
1:14:09 > 1:14:11Valerie's away up to stay at her ma's.
1:14:11 > 1:14:13You're not to get involved now.
1:14:13 > 1:14:16- It's none of your business. - I'm not bothering.
1:14:16 > 1:14:20Ian's been wanting a go at John for a long time now. I warned him.
1:14:20 > 1:14:22Hope he's learnt his lesson.
1:14:25 > 1:14:28I'd a long chat with Uncle Andy this evening.
1:14:29 > 1:14:34- He'll have to go back into the hospital.- He's frightened, think he feels he'll die in there this time.
1:14:37 > 1:14:38He was very upset.
1:14:41 > 1:14:46I promised him that if he goes in for a couple of weeks, I'll bring him back out here and look after.
1:14:46 > 1:14:47And what did he say?
1:14:47 > 1:14:48He's agreed.
1:14:48 > 1:14:50I even got a goodnight kiss tonight.
1:14:50 > 1:14:54- Oh, if Fletcher's not ready to do you, it's somebody else! - I don't want that mentioned.
1:15:01 > 1:15:02What about you?
1:15:03 > 1:15:05Ah, I'm away to my bed.
1:15:07 > 1:15:11- Are you going to let Pauline go to Canada?- Why not?
1:15:11 > 1:15:16- It's what SHE wants to do. - For goodness' sake, Billy, it's a matter of choice for you!
1:15:16 > 1:15:19- Just cos you and her are mates now. - It's not just that.
1:15:21 > 1:15:24She loves you and you love her.
1:15:27 > 1:15:30It's not going to make you any less of a man to admit that.
1:15:33 > 1:15:34You're so like Dad.
1:15:37 > 1:15:39But even he seems to have learnt sense at last.
1:15:43 > 1:15:44Look, I can manage here.
1:15:47 > 1:15:50It's not as if you're going to be a million miles away.
1:15:54 > 1:15:56We have to break sometime, Billy.
1:16:08 > 1:16:11Will you quit that constant running in and out?
1:16:11 > 1:16:14- Oh, it's you.- I live here too.
1:16:14 > 1:16:16- Aye, I thought it was that other one.- I'm away out.
1:16:16 > 1:16:21See what I mean? In and out, in and out, like a bloody jack-in-a-box!
1:16:21 > 1:16:24- Will you give over gurning? Do you want a cup of tea?- Huh?
1:16:24 > 1:16:27Aye, aye, I'll take a wee cup, just to keep you happy, mind.
1:16:27 > 1:16:28HE COUGHS
1:16:31 > 1:16:32HE SPITS
1:16:32 > 1:16:36- Will you cut that out? It's disgusting! - Sure, I have to get rid of it.
1:16:36 > 1:16:38Well, you can do it without being so disgusting.
1:16:38 > 1:16:41Huh! And you're the one wants to be a nurse.
1:16:41 > 1:16:43Oh, Jeez.
1:16:47 > 1:16:48BILLY CHUCKLES
1:16:51 > 1:16:53Have you never finished that homework yet?
1:16:53 > 1:16:56- I can't think of anything to write. - What have you to do?
1:16:56 > 1:16:58An essay. "I am a Postage Stamp."
1:16:58 > 1:17:02- Who gave you that? - Miss Simple Semple! Stupid old bat!
1:17:02 > 1:17:04Isn't she the one you got trouble over?
1:17:04 > 1:17:06Are you getting on all right with her now?
1:17:06 > 1:17:09- Aye, but I won't be if I don't write something quick.- Ach, it's easy.
1:17:09 > 1:17:11What would you write?
1:17:11 > 1:17:14Er, "I am a postage stamp. I've just been licked, stuck and sent."
1:17:14 > 1:17:21Brilliant(!) Can you write that on an elastic band so I can make it stretch over two pages?
1:17:21 > 1:17:24Lorna, what would you do if you were a postage stamp?
1:17:25 > 1:17:29- Get someone to send me to the Bahamas.- Lorna, that's it! You're brilliant.
1:17:29 > 1:17:32- What's she going on about? - Oh, just some silly essay she's got.
1:17:32 > 1:17:33CAR HORN BEEPS
1:17:33 > 1:17:36Oh, there she is.
1:17:36 > 1:17:37I'm away. Not be late.
1:17:37 > 1:17:39See youse.
1:17:46 > 1:17:48MUSIC PLAYS: "I Can't Stop Loving You"
1:17:48 > 1:17:50- Finished.- What did you say?
1:17:50 > 1:17:54"Dear sir... Thank you for your kind offer of a job,
1:17:54 > 1:17:57"but I'd prefer to live in sin rather than Toronto."
1:17:57 > 1:18:01- Will you come away from that window? - Do you think they'll be all right?
1:18:01 > 1:18:04Of course they will and looking out there doesn't help.
1:18:04 > 1:18:07- How long do you reckon Uncle Andy will be in this time? - Will you stop it?
1:18:07 > 1:18:09That's four times you've asked me that.
1:18:09 > 1:18:12They live a mile or so away. You'll see them every day.
1:18:12 > 1:18:15Bet Andy's sitting spitting, putting out the last of the fire.
1:18:15 > 1:18:17If you keep this up, I'm going to chase you.
1:18:19 > 1:18:21Should we look for a bigger flat?
1:18:21 > 1:18:22- Not tonight.- Fool! - SHE CHUCKLES
1:18:22 > 1:18:24THEY KISS
1:18:24 > 1:18:29- Do you think your dad will like me? - I hope not! We've never agreed about anything.
1:18:29 > 1:18:32- I love you, Billy. - Nought out ten for intelligence.
1:18:32 > 1:18:35Hey, it's a pity Uncle Andy's not in your hospital this time.
1:18:35 > 1:18:40- He might even have been on your ward again.- I think I'll survive without that, especially now.
1:18:40 > 1:18:44He'll say you're a scheming wee fenian who seduced his nephew. What do you say to that?
1:18:44 > 1:18:46It was your own choice.
1:18:49 > 1:18:51I'm going to bed.
1:18:52 > 1:18:54Agh!
1:18:55 > 1:18:59- Taking anybody with you? - Just my nurse, in case I take bad during the night.
1:18:59 > 1:19:01They say every home should have one.
1:19:01 > 1:19:04I'll just fetch a glass for my false teeth.
1:19:06 > 1:19:09- You should see your face. Relax, they're all real.- What?

1:19:19 > 1:19:21Hope he know what he's doing.
1:19:21 > 1:19:22Course he does.
1:19:22 > 1:19:24Oh, you young ones, nowadays.
1:19:24 > 1:19:28Youse wouldn't have done it in my day, I'm telling you.
1:19:28 > 1:19:30I'm not a prude, I don't care what you say.
1:19:33 > 1:19:37- Are you all ready for the morrow? - Oh, Jeez, don't remind me.
1:19:37 > 1:19:41You promised now it's only for the two weeks.
1:19:41 > 1:19:45- Two or three.- Jeez, it's up to three already!- It's up to the doctor, I can't say.
1:19:47 > 1:19:48Aye.
1:19:51 > 1:19:53You know, I'll miss this wee house.
1:19:55 > 1:19:56Very cosy wee place.
1:19:57 > 1:20:00Sure now you'll be able to manage all on your own?
1:20:00 > 1:20:01Course I will.
1:20:04 > 1:20:06Are you ready for bed?
1:20:06 > 1:20:07Mmm.
1:20:09 > 1:20:12Seems a shame to leave a nice fire like that.
1:20:12 > 1:20:13Mmm.
1:20:14 > 1:20:18You know... You know what I'd really fancy?
1:20:18 > 1:20:21- What?- Nice, quiet, wee game of draughts.
1:20:22 > 1:20:24- Can you play draughts?- Yeah.
1:20:24 > 1:20:26Right.
1:20:34 > 1:20:36- Black or white? - Er, I'll be white.
1:20:39 > 1:20:43You know, last time I was in the hospital,
1:20:43 > 1:20:45I was a champion at this.
1:20:48 > 1:20:50- Aye, aye, aye. - Right, black goes first.
1:20:50 > 1:20:52Aye, aye, aye, all right, fire ahead, fire ahead.
1:20:56 > 1:20:59See that picture in your da's letter?
1:21:00 > 1:21:02That one's a fine-looking woman.
1:21:02 > 1:21:03Yeah.
1:21:05 > 1:21:07It's your move.
1:21:07 > 1:21:10Aye, aye, I know. I'm studying the board.
1:21:10 > 1:21:13Doesn't do to rush in a game like this, that's the whole secret.
1:21:15 > 1:21:18Got to study the board, you know...
1:21:18 > 1:21:20make the right choice.
1:21:26 > 1:21:31You know, I mind playing this game in the Far East once.
1:21:31 > 1:21:34A week it lasted, a whole week.
1:21:35 > 1:21:37It doesn't do to rush things, you know.
1:21:37 > 1:21:40That fire isn't going to last a week.
1:21:40 > 1:21:43And you have a hospital to go to in the morning.
1:21:43 > 1:21:44Aye.
1:21:47 > 1:21:48Aye.
