0:00:24 > 0:00:28- You all right?- Aye, I'm fine.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Did I wake you up? - No, no, I was awake.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39- Perhaps you felt a bit sick. Sea-sick.- No.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Frightened?- Me? Frightened?
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Well...apprehensive.- Nah.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Just wondering.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Well, I'm frightened.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Never been so frightened in my life.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00For goodness sake, love, we're big grown up people.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03You're not supposed to be terrified of them.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05They're only youngsters after all.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09But I can't just force myself on them.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I've got win their friendship.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13You can't force people to love you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Come on.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Dirty, great, big Irish breakfast, that's what you want.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Soda bread, tatie bread, egg, bacon, sausage,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25smothered in that much sauce it'd make your eyes water.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Sounds revolting!
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Come on.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Pity you two couldn't rise as well as this when you're at school.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I want to see what she's like before she's my ma.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Do you think if we don't like her, my da will not marry her? - Your dad will please himself.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- I think Billy should be going down to meet them.- He has work to go to.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Doesn't matter. He could have taken the day off.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Bet my dad would have done it for him.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00If Pauline hadn't been around he probably would've went down.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Yeah, but my dad doesn't know Pauline.- I'll be with her.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04And she's got a car.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I'd rather sit here and get a lift and see our Billy than have to walk.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10CLATTER FROM UPSTAIRS
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Uncle Andy's fell out of bed.- Wonder why he's getting up this time for?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Maybe he can't wait to see my dad. - I'm sure!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- I wish I was going to that boat.- You can tidy this place when we're out.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Oh, thanks a lot. That was worth getting up for.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25What are you doing up so early?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30I couldn't sleep. Tossed and turned most of the night.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- Are you all excited about meeting my da?- I can hardly wait.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Any chance of a cup of tea? - Aye, Ann will get you it.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- Just call Rent-a-Slave!- Here, give us a slice of toast and me All Bran.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Listen to me. Boil that milk now. - Aye.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Sprinkle the sugar on.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Just don't be dumping it in a big lump in the middle.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55HE COUGHS
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Will you be lighting that fire before you go out?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Yeah. Maureen, hurry up and finish that and then light the fire.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- It's too warm for a fire. I'm roasting.- You may be. I'm foundered.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Do you want marmalade on your toast? - Is it orange marmalade?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15No, it's green made in Dublin.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17HE COUGHS
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Maureen, go easy.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23You're making far too much dust.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24CAR HORN HONKS
0:03:24 > 0:03:26That'll be Pauline now.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Right everyone, I'm away. See yous later.- See ya.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- I'm going to get a car as soon as I'm old enough.- I'm not.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- I'm going to get a boyfriend with one.- Jesus, will you listen to it?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Only out of nappies wanting to take advantage of some poor fella.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53In the end, there's this one coming today.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I wonder how she got her claws into your da?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Lorna!
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- It's great to see you, girl. You're looking great.- So are you, dad.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- You've put on weight.- Ah, it's all the good food Mavis has...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Oh, sorry, getting carried away.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Mavis, this is Lorna. Lorna, Mavis.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Pleased to meet you.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Welcome to Belfast.- Thanks very much, Lorna. It's lovely to meet you.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Your father's told me such a lot about you
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I feel as though I know you quite well already.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- Dad, Mavis, this is Pauline, our Billy's girl.- Yes, we've said hello.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48You're the one's after my wee fella, eh?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Ah, getting more like me now, eh?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Getting a bit more taste, eh? - Thank you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Really pleased to meet you. I heard a lot about you.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Aye.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Billy had to work, I take it?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Yes, I had today off, you see.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Our Pauline having a car and all.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Oh, he's right.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Must look after the work.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Ready?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Aye.- Here you are. Go ahead.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Go on. No, no, that's all right.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Uncle Andy, this is Mavis.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Mavis, this is Uncle Andy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Come in, come in. Welcome. - I'm very pleased to meet you, Andy.
0:05:47 > 0:05:53- Yes, yes, indeed. Let me take that coat from you there.- Thank you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56There you are now. You'll feel better without that.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- They're mauling your dad out there. - Them two are desperate.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Maureen, pack that in, for goodness sake.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Andy.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Mind you, you're a brave-looking invalid.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Well, I'm going to make the tea. - I'll give you a hand.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Go and help Pauline make the tea. Billy put it there.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Oh, aye.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32A brave lot of water's gone under the bridge since that was took.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- Our sister, Janet. - She looks very nice.- A great loss.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Yes, I'm sure it was.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Sit down, love.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's warm with that fire.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Uncle Andy needed it. He feels the cold.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51You can never be sure when you light the fire in the morning
0:06:51 > 0:06:54what the day's going to do, eh?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Oh, here's the tea. Lovely.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Thanks, pet.- Maureen, move and let dad get his tea.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Hey!- What?- What's this?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17You never take a cup and saucer!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21You always say saucers are for snobs.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Well, did you have a good crossing then?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Yes, it was very pleasant. Well, I assume it was. We slept.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36It certainly seemed perfectly calm this morning.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41That can be a right rough stretch of water. Most people fly nowadays.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42MAUREEN LAUGHS
0:07:42 > 0:07:44What's so funny?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47You said most people fly.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Birds and aeroplanes fly, not the people.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Oh, very funny. Ha-ha-ha!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55My teacher said language is a tool to be properly used.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Teachers, hah! They think they know everything and they know nothing.
0:07:59 > 0:08:05- Mavis, you're a teacher, aren't you? - Yes. Well, I was. I did teach.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I haven't for some time, but I'm thinking of going back to it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- More tea, Mavis?- No, I'm fine for the moment, thank you.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'll have a drop more, love.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19That's lovely cheese, Lorna.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21You get that from the corner shop?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23No, we stole it from the mousetrap.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Jesus, the house is full of comedians today.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31So, you're going to get married then, eh?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34No, we are married.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38We got married last week.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55BELL TOLLS
0:09:03 > 0:09:06If we wait much longer, it'll be ruined.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I don't know what's happened to him.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's maybe a bit of overtime.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Something cropped up at the last minute. These things happen.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- He hasn't done overtime for months. - Maybe it's just a last-minute thing.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Perhaps he met a friend and they went for a drink.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Well, it's possible he's even forgotten.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Well, there's no point letting four dinners be ruined.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I'll give you a hand.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I wouldn't worry, love. I'm sure he's all right.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Yes, I'm sure he's all right. I'm not worried. Just angry.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- Well, what's she like? - An auld bat!- She is not! I like her.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55You're lucky. I wish I could trade my ma in and get a new one.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- When are they are getting married? - They're married already.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02They got married in England. She's our ma now.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05What about the big wedding? And yous as bridesmaids and all?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Why don't you shut your trap? - All right, I'm only joking.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It's not bloody funny! I'm not calling her Ma anyway.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- You'll have to. Da'll make you. - Oh, will he? That's what you think. - Our Lorna's mad at you already.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Even Uncle Andy got dressed up like an eejit just because she's English. - What's that got to do with it?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I don't know, they'll think it's something special.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I don't want any English woman telling me what to do.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28She'll not be here for long, sure.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Once she goes back to England, you can do whatever you like.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- I'm not calling her Ma, that's for sure.- "Save us Mavis" he calls her.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- They'll probably have other kids of their own anyway.- Who? - Your Da and Mavis.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- How can they?- Same way your ma and da had you. How do you think?
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Billy. I didn't expect see you. Is Pauline not with you?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58No, I'm on my own.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07What do you think of Mavis?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09She's nice, isn't she?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- I don't know, I haven't seen her yet.- What? Why?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I haven't been home yet.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23But they're expecting you!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Pauline is cooking something special.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30For goodness sake, Billy, why? Why?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I don't know, I can't... I can't...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35But they are staying with you!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38She's your mother, for goodness sake.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41They're married. They got married last week.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I thought he wanted us to meet her before they got married.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Does it matter now? He's married again.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51He has nearly stopped drinking. It's all different. We are all different.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Well that's it. I don't think we are. I don't think anything's changed.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59What about Pauline? How do you think she feels?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I mean, they're both complete strangers to her
0:12:02 > 0:12:03and she is doing this for us.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08She's a nice woman, Billy. She likes us and she wants us to like her.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- She knows nothing about us. She doesn't know what went on here. - It's over, all that.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Mum's dead, all that is in the past.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Aye, well, not for me, it's not.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18DOOR OPENS
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Is this a private row, or can anybody join in?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Billy. Lorna.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- What the hell is he doing in here? - Wait a minute, wait a minute, easy.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- Uncle Andy, go out and take John with you.- We were only after coming in...- We're talking.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37OK, well I'll go away.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Will you get out of here, please?
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Way out and have a pint.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Is there anything I can do?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Will you go, for Christ's sake?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- I've never heard you swearing like that before.- It's not funny.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You've nothing to laugh about!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14You've spoiled everything for me, you.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Och, what are you crying about?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Can't you just leave things alone, for once?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29How do you think Mavis and Pauline feel?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32They're not part of what happened here, and I'm sure they don't want to be.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Come on, Lorna, you know what I went through.- What we all went through.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39And what we have all tried to get over. Da went through things, too.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42He has come back and he's even staying out of his own house.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43You've ruined it all.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- Let me give you a hand with the washing up.- No, please.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I prefer to do it on my own. You two go on.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It was a lovely meal.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Yes, it was smashing. Lovely.- Thanks.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Well,
0:14:22 > 0:14:23I'll just go and get ready.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Do you like nursing, then? - Yes, I do.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'm not one for hospitals myself. Janet...
0:14:42 > 0:14:48Mrs Martin, that's Billy's mother, like, she died up in the City.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Nobody likes hospitals in those circumstances.- No.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Does he.... Billy...
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- does he ever talk about her? - Sometimes. Not about her, as such.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Just about her dying.- Oh, yes.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10It happened at a bad age for him. Well, for them all, really.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- I don't think there is a good age to lose your mother.- No, that's true.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I remember my own.
0:15:21 > 0:15:27- Oh, you're ready.- Yes. - Ah. Now we can all go on down.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- We'll not be late. See you later.- Oh, here.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Billy got that cut just to let you feel free to come and go.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Oh, great. Thanks.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I'll see you later, Pauline. We won't be late.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Ah, jeez.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I know I shouldn't have took a black this time.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- You're one who always says not to change colours in the middle of a set.- I know, I know,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05but I never have any luck with a black.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Ah, jeez.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Light us one of them fags, will ye? - I don't want to.- Don't worry.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23What's this new woman to you, then? Eh?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I don't know.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Sure, she'd be my sister-in-law.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Once removed, or something like that.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Very nice woman.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Qualified teacher, you know.- She looked it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Nice. Just the bit of a glance I got.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I'll never know what she sees in him.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Sure, with women, you never know.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Never thought she would be that nice looking, though.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56She has got a queer-eyed pair of sticks.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58He'll be wearing himself out.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03He'll be up for the Blind some morning.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06HACKING COUGHS
0:17:07 > 0:17:09So that's what you're at?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Honest to God, have you no sense at all?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- You're worse than the youngsters. Do you want to kill yourself?- I was only having a couple of wee puffs.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Look at the state you're in. As for you...!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Sorry, Lorna. - Don't you dare come to this house to make fun of my Dad and Mavis.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Och, bejeez, it was only a wee joke. - Well, you'll not sit in my Da's house and make fun of him.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Any more of that and you can pack your bags and get out.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Sorry, Pauline, I...
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Where are they?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45I'd better apologise.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I just couldn't, er...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It's a lovely evening to...
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I thought maybe the four of us could go for a walk.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Is there, um...?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07I don't suppose, there's er... anything to eat, is there?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Ah, come on, Pauline.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Look, if you're going to shout, shout.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Throw things, even, but not this.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Because this is just bloody stupid. - Stupid, am I?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'm sorry, Pauline.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40TV: 'In a few days' time, these men and women will return to Ulster.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43'They will be many times better equipped, both mentally
0:18:43 > 0:18:47'and physically, to do the job they have volunteered for.'
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Oh, switch it off.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Sure, there is nothing worth a damn on it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02We saw Ian and Valerie up the gardens.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04He was pushing a pram, like a big sissy.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07There's nothing sissy about that. Sure, it's his baby, too.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11That's not a man's job. Wouldn't have done it in my day.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Not unless was forced on you.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18It was Englishmen who started all that nonsense.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I like to see a man pushing a pram.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Bet you our Billy won't do it when Pauline has a baby.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Wonder if my Da will do it if Mavis has one?
0:19:28 > 0:19:33I think it'll be better, kinder, just to say you had to work overtime.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34They'll know it's a lie.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37It'll not hurt as much as an inadequate apology.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I was sat in the City Hall grounds, watching the pigeons.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Wondering if any of them knew what had happened.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46SHE SNIGGERS
0:19:46 > 0:19:48What are you laughing at?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- It sounds like something out of a picture.- Do you like my Da?- Dunno.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I didn't hate him on sight.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56He seems very timid. Nervous.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Well, that sounds like something out of a picture!
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Going out drinking.- They just had to get out of here. They said were going out for a stroll.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Och, I don't know why they came over at all. Imagine bringing anybody to Belfast for a holiday.
0:20:08 > 0:20:15Don't be silly. It's more than a holiday. They're married. She's your mother. Stepmother.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18It's only natural she'd want to meet you all.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- What will I call her? - Mavis, I suppose.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I'm glad you're on earlies. At least you'll be here when I come in.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Unless I go down to the City Hall to try and read the pigeons' minds.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32VOICES IN HALL
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Billy, this is Mavis. Mavis, Billy.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44I'm very pleased to meet you, Billy. Your father has told me quite a lot about you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I've been looking forward to it.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Well, it's very nice to meet you, too.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Congratulations on the marriage.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Look, sit down.- I'll just put me coat away.- I'll do that.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Well, I can't believe I've actually walked through the streets of Belfast!
0:21:06 > 0:21:11It was so quiet. Ordinary. I was terrified before I came over.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14You can go for weeks, unaware of anything happening.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Listen, why don't I make a cup of tea?- No, Mr Martin. Sure, I'll do it.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- No, no, I insist.- But you don't know where everything is.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Well, now is as good a time as any to learn.- Why don't you both do it?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Pauline can show you where everything is and I can talk to Billy.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Perfect.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Come on, Pauline.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49As a matter of fact,
0:21:49 > 0:21:54I was less frightened of the streets of Belfast than of meeting you all.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Sorry about tonight. - Oh, I understand.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I don't suppose I know the whole story,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02but your father has told me quite a lot.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06And he doesn't blame any of you.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Um, how did you meet my Da?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Oh, he was a regular at this pub that my sister and brother-in-law keep.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I was helping out behind the bar and we got talking.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21It started soon after he arrived.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Weren't you married before?
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Yes, my husband was killed in a car accident.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- You didn't have any children of your own?- No, but I always wanted some.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Well, maybe it'll be second time lucky.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Yes, well, it has been.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53So how long have you and Pauline been together?
0:22:55 > 0:23:00- Um, five or six months. Living together.- She's a nice girl.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Your father has taken a great liking to her.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- He doesn't know her very well.- No.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13But you can usually tell quite soon whether you're going to like somebody or not, can't you?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I think it's better to get to know them before making up your mind.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19You're very defensive.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Well, I've had to do a lot of defending.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27You know, it takes a big man to admit he's been in the wrong.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30It takes an even bigger man, not to have been in the wrong.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Yes, well, I'd like to start from now, not go back into all of that.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35I know it's difficult,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38but I think it's better if we all just start again.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41We don't need to start again. We just need to start.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03We dropped into Lowry's when we were out.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05That place never changes.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08No.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I've been in once or twice with Uncle Andy.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15I'm sure more Lorna could have done without him landed on her.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- They are getting on very well. She likes him.- And he's not well.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24- He's never well.- He helps Ann and Maureen with their homework.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Well, if you want my opinion,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29the schools give out far too much homework anyway.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Sure they're glad they're on their holidays.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I always believed in lots of homework when I was teaching.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I think it's very important.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Especially if it encourages parents to take an interest in their children's work.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Of course,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48teachers can sometimes overlook,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51or be totally unaware of problems in the home.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- You had to work overtime tonight, then?- What?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Oh...- Yes, he had. It doesn't happen very often, so it is hard to refuse.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Well, you don't want to go refusing overtime.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Always do with the extra money, after all.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Mind you, you missed a beautiful dinner.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Didn't he, love?- Yes.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Yes, it was a lovely meal.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22There'll be lots of other dinners before you go away again.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Maybe we'll have pigeon pie some night.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I never expected Billy to be easy.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Too much happened between us.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It's not up to him.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Look, love, we're not committing a crime.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50It's the most natural thing in the world.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Billy doesn't even live there any more.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54He's got all he wants here.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59I had hoped they'd ask before we even got a chance to put it to them.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Well, maybe they will, if we give them time.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03We can always wait.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06No, the sooner it's broached, the better.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08We agreed on that last night.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Fairness to Lorna.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16Listen, in the end, they're just youngsters.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17All of them.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- They'll do what they're told. - I don't want that.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25It seemed so simple from over there.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Your Ann doesn't like me, I can sense that.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Ann, doesn't like you? Rubbish.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Ann's my girl. You'll have no problems there.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Look, I'd better get on over there.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Ann?
0:26:56 > 0:27:00We're just away down Sandy Row for a few messages. Won't be long.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Is my dad coming up today? - I expect he'll be up here sometime.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I've left the door open and the fire lit.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Uncle Andy's still in bed.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- See you later.- See ya.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- I'm going up to see my dad. Are you coming?- Where?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Up to our Billy's flat. - Way up there?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21She'll be here later and I thought you didn't like her.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I don't, but I'm not going an old bat like that
0:27:23 > 0:27:25stop me seeing my Da.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I have to tidy the house.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Well I'm going anyway. - See you later.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Oh, that's it, that's it.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Keep quiet in case they might hear you and ask for a wee drink.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Oh, it's you.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Thought it was one of the young ones.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Do you always lay in bed half the day and then roar your orders?
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I was only asking for a drink of tea. That's no big thing.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Don't bloody well ask me for anything, I'll not make you it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- I'll see you in hell first. - I'm not asking you.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I can make it for myself.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Jesus, I'll be in a box behind a horse
0:28:37 > 0:28:39before you make me a cup of tea.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43- Lorna has enough without running after you morning, noon and night. - Nobody runs after me.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46My children aren't going to do it.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- Where are they, anyway? - I don't know.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Don't you think it's about time
0:28:58 > 0:29:01you were thinking of moving back to your own house?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Me own house?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Just sold it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Housing executive bought it.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09- They've been doing it up.- What?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14You mean you've moved in here permanently?
0:29:14 > 0:29:17To my house and I wasn't even asked?
0:29:17 > 0:29:18We thought you'd moved out for good.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21It's still my name on the rent book.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24I still send Lorna money every week and Jesus,
0:29:24 > 0:29:27I don't send it to keep the likes of you in tobacco and drink.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30I don't touch her money. I've got my own. I pay my way.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33And look at that fire. Burning good coal in this weather.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35There's no call for that.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37I think while I'm over here,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40I'll see the welfare about getting you moved into a home.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42A home? I don't want no home.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Lorna promised me I could stay here.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Lorna forgot this is my house. You've been here long enough.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51You'd gone back to England, you've got a house, what d'you want with this one?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Never you mind where the hell I'm going or what Mavis has got,
0:29:54 > 0:29:55not that that's your business.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57You've been here long enough.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00I'm in and out of hospital all the time.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Next time you're in, stay in.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06I'm a sick man. Don't believe me, you just ask that wee girl.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10My children had enough of running to hospital when their mother was bad.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13I'm not putting them through that again, just you get out of here.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16You've sponged on my kids long enough.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- Who are you calling a sponger? - You, why?
0:30:22 > 0:30:26I'm not sponging. I'm giving them a bit, you just ask Lorna.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29I'm asking nobody nothing.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31I want you out of here.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I don't like you, never did.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Sure it weren't you one of the ones who turned my own son against me?
0:30:47 > 0:30:48DOORBELL RINGS
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Hello, Ann. It's nice to see you.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Where's my dad? - He's just gone down to your house.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14You must have virtually passed each other.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I came up over the bridge.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Where's Pauline and our Billy? - They're both at work?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23So, we're all alone.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Would you like something? Tea, coffee, juice?- No.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31No, thank you.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35You should always be good mannered, even to people you don't like.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36I didn't say I didn't like you.
0:31:36 > 0:31:42Not in so many words and not to my face.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- I'm not a fool.- I just didn't expect you to be married, that's all.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I see.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51So, do you think you'd have liked me more if we weren't married?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Or perhaps you thought that if you didn't like me,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57you could've prevented us getting married. Is that it?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Why don't you say what you're thinking, Ann.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- It would be much better if you did. - I'm not thinking anything.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Come on, Ann.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20I'm not stealing your father from you.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I want us to share him.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24We both love him.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Look, I don't expect you to call me mother, either.- I wouldn't anyway.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Well, that's all right then.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I don't expect anything from you.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Then why d'you come over here?
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Well, to meet you all, obviously.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Your father thought it would be a good idea for us to meet
0:32:50 > 0:32:54and get to know each other and, well, who knows.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I mean, if we hadn't come,
0:32:57 > 0:33:00you'd have said I was keeping him from you, wouldn't you?
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- He could've come over on his own. - But we're married.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05I'm his wife.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Your stepmother.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Now that's not going to change, so you'd better get used to the idea.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Why can't you stay here? Why take him back to England?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Because that is my...
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Your father has a job there, he's happy there.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31You mean happy without us?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37No, no, I don't mean that.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Come on.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Smile, relax, for goodness sake, child.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47I'm not a child.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53No, no, you're not.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- Hello, Da.- Hello, love. - Where's Mavis?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08She's up at the flat.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- Have you fell out?- No, course not.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14How was last night?
0:34:14 > 0:34:18It was all right, when he finally presented himself.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Did you not get a cup of tea?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22No, I'm all right, I don't want any tea.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- You sure?- No, I'm fine.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- Did you get enough, Uncle Andy? - I'm all right.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Anyway, can I get 10p?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- Maureen!- Leave her alone.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Course, love.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Here.- 50? Can I keep the change?
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Course. Tear away there.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- See you, don't you dare do that again.- She's all right.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45It's the holidays.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Anyway, I'm their father.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52What did you have to eat, Uncle Andy?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- I had a bit of toast. I'm all right. - What about your All Bran?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I'm all right this morning.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00What have I told you about a proper breakfast.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04In the name of Jesus...
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Mr Martin. How are you?
0:35:07 > 0:35:11I think before I'll go, I'll get swing doors put on there.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Make it easy for the crowds who use this house.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I didn't know.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18It was Maureen, she told me to just come on in.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19All right, John, no harm done.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23I'm going out again.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26I'm going to get my coat.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29How's things in England then, Mr Martin?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31I'm sure if you're interested,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33you'll get the weather forecast on the wireless?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39There's no need. I'll see you outside.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Go along you filthy old git!
0:35:57 > 0:36:01If I'm a filthy git, you're an ignorant one!
0:36:02 > 0:36:06The sooner you're away in England, the better.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Where's our Ann? - She's coming up the entry.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18She's gone up to see your new da and ma.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20She's English, she should call her mother.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Anyway, my Da's up in our house.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Hey, Ann, you're bendy.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Cheeky.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Is my dad there?- Aye. I told John Fletcher to walk on in.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- He didn't know my Da was there. - You're a bad wee bitch.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37He wasn't in for very long.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- You up to see my mother? - I was up seeing save-us Mavis.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- She talks dead posh. - All English people talk posh.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47They do not, it's just the way they talk.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- That's what we're saying. - It's just the way they sound.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- They sound posh to us. - What did she say to you?
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Never you mind.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58- Do you want this? - No, stopped smoking.- You're a saint.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01It's boring in the summer holidays. There's never anything to do.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- It's better than school. - You're dead right.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Hey, John, I hear you popped in to say hello to my Da.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Hey, listen, you, that is no laughing matter, right.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17Don't get as ignorant as your dad. Don't you do that again, young lady.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21What do you mean? I did nothing.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25What did I do?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- Does John Fletcher still fancy your Lorna?- He does.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Too bad, she doesn't fancy him. - He fancies uncle Andy, now.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42You can come too, if you want.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44We're not saying you can't.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48What would I do in England?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Well, you'll be free to get a job.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55Get a place of your own, if you like. A boyfriend.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57What about Uncle Andy?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00To hell with Uncle Andy.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I've told him it's about time he got out of here.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- What? What did you do that for? - Because it is.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I'm not sending any more money to keep that old git.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12What are you doing, dad?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16First, you're taking Ann and Maureen back to England,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18and now you're going to throw Uncle Andy out of here.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Why? Why couldn't you just leave us alone?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23What are you on about?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26They're my youngsters. They need a father and mother.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29They managed all right up till now.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32That may be, but it's time they had a proper home background.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Is that the only reason you came over here?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Is it just so Mavis can get an instant family?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Just you watch your tongue. - Dad, we're happy here.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47- Don't spoil things again, please. - Oh, I see.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49I'm still the big bad wolf, hey?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51I am spoiling nothing.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53I'm offering my children a proper home.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56They've got a proper home here.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59They're happy here. All their friends are here.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00They'd hate England.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04So you think they're better off here?
0:39:04 > 0:39:08- Shootings and bombings and all the rest of it.- We belong here dad.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12They've never known anything else, that's all.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Look, I'd better get on up there. Mavis is on her own.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Are you going to report back that your mission's been successful?
0:39:18 > 0:39:19There's no call for that.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Isn't there?
0:39:22 > 0:39:23What have you got to cry about?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26They're tears of joy
0:39:26 > 0:39:28because you're taking the youngsters off my hands.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Thank Mavis for me, tell her it's what I've always wanted.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- Look, Lorna.- You're going to throw Uncle Andy out of her, as well.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Is there no end to your good works?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Listen to me, girl, I don't have to stand and listen to...
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Hello, Da.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Hello, love.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48I was up seeing Mavis this morning.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Oh, what she pleased to see you?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Listen, you two, come here.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Come on.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- How would you two like to come over to England?- England? Aye.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Do you mean for a holiday? With Billy and Lorna?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13And Pauline and Uncle Andy?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16No, dad means just you two and it's not for a holiday.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18It's to live there for good.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Lorna can come too, if she wants.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- I don't.- I don't want to go.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24I don't want to live in England, especially with her.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Her? Who's her?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30You're talking about my wife, your mother.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Our Billy calls her...
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Shut up, Maureen.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38Mavis, is your mother and that's what you call her.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42And another thing, you'll do as you're bloody well told. All of you.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Please dad, I don't want to go to England.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49If I say you're going to England, you're going and that's that.
0:40:51 > 0:40:52I want to go.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- There we are.- Cheers.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- This is great.- Busy day? - They're all busy.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11I had a man died today with the same thing Andy has.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15- Oh, so he really is sick.- Andy? Yes.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I didn't realise he was really ill.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Norman gave me the impression he was malingering.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24No, Andy would give anybody that impression, but he is ill.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26You down the house tonight?
0:41:26 > 0:41:29No, Norman went down mid-morning but he's not back yet.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Can't imagine what's keeping him.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Maybe he's playing draughts with Andy.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Doubt he'll be playing anything with Andy.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Have you been stuck here all day on your own?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Oh, I don't mind.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Young Ann called up.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44A visit from Ann? That's quite an honour.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49- She must like you after all. - So, you noticed it too, did you?
0:41:49 > 0:41:52No, quite the contrary.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56She'll come round. She adores Norman.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00They're all remarkable, considering what they've been through.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02But they haven't all escaped unscathed, believe me.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04You're telling me!
0:42:05 > 0:42:07I'd better get started.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10If you told me what you were going to do, I could've had it prepared.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Do you know something? Do you fancy being reckless?
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Why don't we leave something
0:42:15 > 0:42:17for Norman and Billy and go out and have a meal?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- It sounds wonderful, but should we?- Why not?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Norman might not be very pleased.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Good.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Come on in, John.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Don't be overwhelmed by the welcome.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34They're just excited.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Your da was going well down in Laverys.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42Having it back rightly, so he was. Wouldn't think of asking us.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44He looked like a man in a hurry to get drunk.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47If you'll excuse us, John, we're just about to have our dinner.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Hold on, hold on a wee minute. There's time for a quick game.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52It's stew. It's ready now.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Stew's all right. It'll keep on a low light.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58It's ready now and we're going to eat it now.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Without strangers getting down our throats.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07In the name of Jesus.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10I'll have to check and see if there's anybody in this house
0:43:10 > 0:43:12hasn't insulted that man.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15I'm more than worried about this than the feelings of John Fletcher.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17You're so concerned, you run after him.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Maybe he'll put you up when dad throws you out.
0:43:29 > 0:43:30Listen, love.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34It's not the end of the world, you know?
0:43:34 > 0:43:37I mean, well...
0:43:37 > 0:43:40You're not to get yourself all worked up on my account.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- Where's Pauline and Mavis?- Out.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58Out? Anything wrong?
0:43:58 > 0:43:59Aye!
0:43:59 > 0:44:01What happened?
0:44:01 > 0:44:04I near cut the finger off myself on that bastard soup tin in there,
0:44:04 > 0:44:06that's what happened.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07Soup tin? What's going on?
0:44:09 > 0:44:11It's on a low light.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15- Lucky enough, I suppose, it's tomato.- Where are they?
0:44:15 > 0:44:17They left that note.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21They've been out for a meal?
0:44:23 > 0:44:25Thought I'd been forgiven for last night.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Suppose this is Pauline's way of getting back at me.
0:44:28 > 0:44:29Spiteful, hey?
0:44:29 > 0:44:31That'll be the Fenian blood in her. What did I do?
0:44:31 > 0:44:35What sickens me is, they didn't even have the sense to open the tin
0:44:35 > 0:44:37and empty the soup out into the friggin' pot.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39That's women for you.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41- Will you want bread with it?- Aye.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Does Pauline make a habit of this?
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- No, does Mavis?- How the hell would I know? We're only married.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49This is the first time... and the last.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52- She seems to be a woman with a mind of her own.- Aye.
0:44:52 > 0:44:56Well, she should remember, minds are kept inside our head.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58And heads can be knocked off.
0:45:00 > 0:45:01- You been drinking?- So what?
0:45:01 > 0:45:07- Oh, I thought you'd stopped. - Not at all. I still enjoy a pint.
0:45:07 > 0:45:08Aye.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11I might have this soup.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- That's no meal for you after a day's work.- I'll survive.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16Mm. If I go out and do a day's work,
0:45:16 > 0:45:20I expect a proper meal at the end of it. That was one thing about your mother.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22- Maureen works hard too! You want bread with this?- Aye.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Give us just a few slices, just to dip in.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27No butter.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34I don't drink the way I used to.
0:45:35 > 0:45:39None of the old fighting or anything like that, you know?
0:45:39 > 0:45:42That's all over and done with. Mavis would never stand for it.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45No, none of that's ever going to happen again.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48- Do you take salt?- Nah.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50No! Not in tomato soup!
0:45:52 > 0:45:54Right...
0:45:57 > 0:46:01You say Lorna and that shite are getting on all right?
0:46:01 > 0:46:02Andy? Fine, yes.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05I was thinking of telling him to go.
0:46:05 > 0:46:06Go where?
0:46:06 > 0:46:09Where ever the hell he friggin' well likes. That's his problem.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13- He's a sick man.- Sick, my arse. If he's that bad, he should be in hospital.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- He's been in and out a couple of times.- She has her own life.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18She can't be tying herself down with him.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21Lorna knows what she wants. Anyway, she wouldn't let him go.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24It's my house, not Lorna's.
0:46:24 > 0:46:25You and Mavis going to move back in?
0:46:25 > 0:46:27- That's not the point.- What is?
0:46:27 > 0:46:32The point is, I should be able to do what I like with what's mine.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37Well, my advice is to leave him alone.
0:46:37 > 0:46:38I didn't ask you.
0:46:44 > 0:46:48I was thinking of taking the two young ones back with me.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50What do you think?
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Well, great.
0:46:52 > 0:46:53Holiday'll do them good.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55What about Lorna?
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Lorna doesn't want to come.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59If it's Uncle Andy, we can maybe do something.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Unless you want to take him?
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- It's not a holiday. - What do you expect in Belfast?
0:47:03 > 0:47:06No, no, not that. I'm not talking about that. The kids.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09It's not a holiday, I'm taking them back for good.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Well?
0:47:17 > 0:47:18Have you told this to Lorna?
0:47:20 > 0:47:22I put it to her this morning.
0:47:22 > 0:47:23And did she agree?
0:47:25 > 0:47:27I didn't ask to agree, just told her what I'm doing.
0:47:32 > 0:47:33Well?
0:47:35 > 0:47:39- I'm going to wash the dishes. - Is that all you can say?
0:47:39 > 0:47:41- What else do you want? - An opinion, for once.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44You're wrong on everything you're planning to do.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48- Is that so?- You talk about Lorna leading her own life. That's what she does.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50That house, those kids and now Andy as well.
0:47:50 > 0:47:51That's no life for any...
0:47:51 > 0:47:56It's her life. And now you've got to walk back in and destroy everything?
0:47:56 > 0:47:57Destroy nothing!
0:47:57 > 0:48:01I'm taking my kids back and giving them a proper home with a proper mother and father.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03Is that destroying?
0:48:03 > 0:48:06You can't give two children to your new wife as if they're ornaments.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09- Don't talk shite.- Why don't you have a kid of your own?!
0:48:09 > 0:48:11Mavis can't have children.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17Well, why don't you adopt one, then?
0:48:17 > 0:48:19She doesn't want to adopt anybody.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21She's a mother of four children now.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24If she wants two of them back in England with her, she's every right.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26- What about our rights?- Your...?!
0:48:27 > 0:48:31You're living here with your girlfriend, that's your rights.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34- What do you mean?- I mean, you don't even live there any more.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37All this is between me and Lorna. Not you.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- Anybody in?- Shh!
0:48:52 > 0:48:54THEY LAUGH
0:48:54 > 0:48:57- Are you two on your own?- We've come to take you out on the town.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59On the town?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02We decided to go for a couple of drinks and make a night of it.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06- Where's Dad and Billy?- Your father didn't come back this morning.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Pauline and I decided I spend enough time on my own.
0:49:08 > 0:49:12- We left them a tin of soup. - They'll not be too pleased.- Tough!
0:49:14 > 0:49:18I can just imagine Dad and our Billy stuck together with a tin of soup.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21What time did your father leave this morning?
0:49:21 > 0:49:23It was early. After lunchtime.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26As early as that? Where on earth's he got to?
0:49:26 > 0:49:28We'll know soon enough. Get your coat, Lorna.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31I couldn't, Pauline. Not the night, not like this.
0:49:31 > 0:49:35We insist. And we will wait until you get ready.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37What about the kids?
0:49:37 > 0:49:40He's big enough to look after things for a couple of hours.
0:49:40 > 0:49:41And there's Uncle Andy...
0:49:41 > 0:49:44Go and get ready.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49All right. I'll not be long.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56- I'd run away.- Run away? Where to?
0:49:56 > 0:49:59Anywhere. There's places.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02- Would you come with me? - Me? What for?
0:50:02 > 0:50:04She can always try to make me go to England.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08Wish they were, like. Think of all those lovely English fellas.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10That's all you ever think about, boys.
0:50:10 > 0:50:15Places like Wolverhampton and all. I know somebody from there.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18- Come right now. Lorna's gone out. - Where's she gone?
0:50:18 > 0:50:21- Somewhere with Pauline and Mavis. - Is Mavis in our house?
0:50:21 > 0:50:24Yes, and you've to come on your own, nobody's allowed in.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27I don't want in. I'm lumbering the night, anyway.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30- Who are you lumbering?- That new fella at the bottom of the street.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34- He's a drip! He'll lumber anything. - He's got a squint.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36The hell he has not. It's deliberate.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39He does that with his eyes. It's dead sexy.
0:50:39 > 0:50:43- They're in the doorway, come on. - See you.- See you.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Tell Squinty I was asking about him.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50I'll give you a squint, wee girl!
0:50:51 > 0:50:54- Do you really want to go to England? - Aye, it'll be brilliant.
0:50:54 > 0:50:58- And just leave our Billy and Lorna? - Sure, Billy's with Pauline.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01And my da said our Lorna could come. But she doesn't want to.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03- She doesn't want us to go. - I'm going.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05I'll be glad to get away from this street.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07If you're going, me da'll make me go.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10- Why do you want to stay here? - What will we do over there?
0:51:10 > 0:51:14They'll make fun of us at school because of the way we talk and the teachers will pick on us.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Sure, they pick on us here and we don't talk funny.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20They hate the Irish over there. We'll probably get beat up.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23- They didn't beat my da. - That's just cause they couldn't.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Anyway, we're not Irish, we're Protestants.
0:51:25 > 0:51:29- Don't be daft. We're Irish as well. - No, we're not. I'm not, anyway.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32And another thing - Mavis is English and she's our mother now.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Will you stop calling her that? She's not our ma. Our ma's dead.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38We've got a new one and I like her and I'm going to England with her.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42- You can go, I'm not.- I don't care. Anyway, me da'll make you go.
0:51:42 > 0:51:43That's what you think.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46You're just jealous cos she's married to my da
0:51:46 > 0:51:48and you're Daddy's wee baby.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Say that again, I'll break your face!
0:51:53 > 0:51:57Hey, all right! I didn't mean it. Don't get excited.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07That wasn't bad at all. I prefer tomato soup, mind you.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09A cup of tea now would just round it off.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11I had to dress your father's wound before they went out.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Pity you haven't been opening that tin with his mouth.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16That's an incredibly cruel thing to say!
0:52:16 > 0:52:19It was an incredibly cruel thing leaving me with him,
0:52:19 > 0:52:21then taking Lorna out and getting her pissed.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24She wasn't pissed. Anyway, she needed the break.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27He'll take the kids away, you know.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30What's going to happen to Lorna once Andy has died
0:52:30 > 0:52:32and the kids have grown up and left?
0:52:32 > 0:52:35- She'll just carry on. - Carry on doing what?
0:52:35 > 0:52:40She needs to get out of the house, get a job, start leading her own life.
0:52:40 > 0:52:43- Did you talk to her about that last night?- Yes, we both did.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Lorna'd had a row with your father,
0:52:45 > 0:52:47so her and Mavis were a bit embarrassed at first.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49But Mavis is really nice.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52Yeah, if coming over to steal your sisters is really nice(!)
0:52:52 > 0:52:54- Rubbish. Do you want Lorna to end up an old maid?- Ach...
0:52:54 > 0:52:58You tend to see everything in relation to your row with your father.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01My row with my father? You and Mavis know nothing about it.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04Just cos he's putting on his big "I'm a nice guy" act for Mavis,
0:53:04 > 0:53:06you think we're exaggerating.
0:53:06 > 0:53:10- I didn't say that. - No, you don't have to. It's written all over your face, Pauline.
0:53:10 > 0:53:11Just keep out of it.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14Billy, I think Lorna needs to strike out on her own.
0:53:14 > 0:53:18Don't talk about her as if she's an idiot. You're all like that.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Lorna can think for herself.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23- All I'm saying is... - Look, just get over it, Pauline.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25You led a normal life, you don't know what it was like for us.
0:53:25 > 0:53:27Don't be melodramatic.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Where are you going?
0:53:31 > 0:53:33- Out.- Out? Where to?
0:53:33 > 0:53:36- Mind your own business. - Billy, you're being ridiculous.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39First it was melodramatic, now it's ridiculous?
0:53:39 > 0:53:41- I'll go before you run out of big words.- I'm on your side.
0:53:41 > 0:53:44Your trouble is you don't even know what my side is.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51What do the youngsters themselves think?
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Maureen wants to go, Ann doesn't.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56See, the young one doesn't know any better.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59He's going well, taking the kids away and throwing me out.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01Ach, he'll not throw you out.
0:54:01 > 0:54:03Ohh...
0:54:03 > 0:54:07Anyway, England's no place for youngsters.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10It's full of sex perverts and murderers.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15- Mavis and Pauline seem to think it wouldn't be such a bad idea.- Huh!
0:54:15 > 0:54:18They say I could get a job and lead my own life.
0:54:18 > 0:54:22Oh? And whose life do they think you're leading at the minute?
0:54:22 > 0:54:26That pair! One of them's never had children, the other can't have them.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28A hell of a lot they'd know between them(!)
0:54:30 > 0:54:35Well, anyhow, better get ready.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Get down the road for a pint.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41- Billy? Is Pauline not with you?- No.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46Is anything the matter?
0:54:46 > 0:54:50Yeah, I want to have a talk to you about my da and the kids.
0:54:50 > 0:54:55I don't think there's much to say. Seems to have his mind made up.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58- You know he's throwing me out as well?- He'll not throw you out.
0:54:58 > 0:55:02I don't know. Nobody seems too worried about...
0:55:02 > 0:55:04He'll not do anything, he didn't mean it.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08Well, I know your da better than that.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11Why did he say it, if he didn't mean it? Eh?
0:55:11 > 0:55:14Oh, no. You can't answer that.
0:55:17 > 0:55:19Oh, aye...
0:55:19 > 0:55:22- I'm supposed to be going for a pint. You coming?- No!
0:55:22 > 0:55:24Go on ahead.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Oh.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37- What are you going to do? - What can I do?
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Ann says she's not going.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Ann? I'd have expected it the other way round.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46- She doesn't like Mavis.- There's going to be a club for that soon.
0:55:46 > 0:55:50I like her, Billy. I can understand what she's trying to do.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54She thinks it's in my best interests in the long run.
0:55:54 > 0:55:57Well, how do you feel about that?
0:56:01 > 0:56:05I just don't know what I'm going to do without them.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07I've no right to feel that way.
0:56:09 > 0:56:13I just can't imagine this place without them.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17Why didn't he stay an alcoholic?
0:56:19 > 0:56:21He's right, though.
0:56:21 > 0:56:23I mean, he is their father and now Mavis is their mother.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26What they're doing is right.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29All very well for Pauline and Mavis. They don't know what he was like.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31Mavis would have married him if she'd known that?
0:56:31 > 0:56:34Maybe it's about time we told her the whole story.
0:56:35 > 0:56:38Even if I could, I wouldn't.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40She's the best thing that ever happened to him.
0:56:40 > 0:56:43And the children are important to them.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48You know this...
0:56:48 > 0:56:51Last night with Mavis and Pauline,
0:56:51 > 0:56:54for the first time in my life I felt like a real person.
0:56:54 > 0:56:55Ach...
0:56:57 > 0:56:59I think you just enjoyed getting drunk.
0:56:59 > 0:57:01For all that it took!
0:57:01 > 0:57:04I think I'd have felt drunk if I'd just been drinking water.
0:57:05 > 0:57:09- Where's Ann?- Following the bands or something.
0:57:09 > 0:57:12- What bands?- I don't know, a couple of bands have arrived.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15You see that wee girl? That Joan one's a bad influence.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18She spends half her time chasing wee fellas
0:57:18 > 0:57:21and the other half up the entry with them.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24- I'm going down to the corner. - Don't you go any further, now.
0:57:25 > 0:57:29- Look, why don't we tell him they're just not going?- I can't.- Why not?
0:57:29 > 0:57:32Because it wouldn't make any difference!
0:57:32 > 0:57:34Look, it's not right!
0:57:34 > 0:57:39After all he's done, he's just going to walk back in and wreck things again?
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Well, he shouldn't get away with it.
0:57:49 > 0:57:53- I saw my first Orange band tonight. - Yes, I heard one earlier.
0:57:53 > 0:57:56We should have come over for The Twelfth.
0:57:56 > 0:57:58Oh, I'm sorry, love.
0:57:58 > 0:57:59Not at all. Sure, I don't mind.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02Many a time I've stood and watched them myself.
0:58:02 > 0:58:05I was surprised at how young they were.
0:58:05 > 0:58:09I'd always imagined them to be dour, middle-aged men.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12- Were you ever a Orangeman, Norman? - No. Old fella was, though.
0:58:12 > 0:58:14He never missed The Twelfth.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16Why did you never join, Mr Morton?
0:58:17 > 0:58:21Not really a joiner, I suppose.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24I remember taking Billy to the field once, though.
0:58:24 > 0:58:29Aye, he was only a wee toddler at the time. Lovely sunny day, it was.
0:58:29 > 0:58:31I had to carry him on my shoulders most of the way.
0:58:31 > 0:58:34Sweat was running down my back, I thought he'd peed himself!
0:58:34 > 0:58:38Perhaps we can come back for it next year. I'd love to see it.
0:58:38 > 0:58:39Aye, we'll do that.
0:58:39 > 0:58:42You can try carrying Billy on your shoulders again.
0:58:42 > 0:58:44- DOOR CLOSES - Hello, Pauline!
0:58:44 > 0:58:46Darling.
0:58:48 > 0:58:50Hello, Mummy and Daddy.
0:58:50 > 0:58:52Hello, Billy.
0:58:54 > 0:58:59You're very quiet. I always thought kidnappers would be noisy people.
0:59:05 > 0:59:08I think you could use a strong cup of black coffee.
0:59:08 > 0:59:09Oh, what could I use it for?
0:59:09 > 0:59:13Mavis, come on. Leave the coffee, we're going to bed.
0:59:13 > 0:59:15Go ahead.
0:59:15 > 0:59:18- Come on, young honeymooners, we understand.- Shut up, Billy.
0:59:18 > 0:59:21Not that we've ever been on honeymoon ourselves.
0:59:21 > 0:59:24We can't get married. Northern Ireland, you see.
0:59:24 > 0:59:27Different religions. But we enjoy sex, don't we, love?
0:59:27 > 0:59:30- In the name of Jesus, boy!- Norman, you go on in. I'll see to Billy.
0:59:30 > 0:59:34You'll not put up with that. Stupid wee frigger's drunk.
0:59:34 > 0:59:37Better do what he says. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
0:59:37 > 0:59:40Go on, Mr Morton. Mavis, I'll see to Billy.
0:59:40 > 0:59:41You see how popular I am?
0:59:41 > 0:59:44They're afraid of leaving us two together, you know?
0:59:44 > 0:59:46You see, my last Mummy had a wee...
0:59:46 > 0:59:49Listen, you! I'll only stand so much.
0:59:49 > 0:59:52Any more of that and I'll break your friggin' neck!
0:59:52 > 0:59:56You'll not throw me out this time. This time it's my place.
0:59:56 > 1:00:00- Right!- Will you go to bed? I can take care of myself.
1:00:00 > 1:00:03I reckon we've got two sex maniacs here.
1:00:03 > 1:00:06Are you going to shut that wee frigger up before I do?
1:00:06 > 1:00:09Go on ahead, would you? The woman wants to finish her honeymoon.
1:00:09 > 1:00:13She'll maybe have a kid of her own and not have to kidnap my sisters!
1:00:21 > 1:00:23I'm sorry, Pauline.
1:00:32 > 1:00:37Uncle Andy, how am I going to say goodbye to those two?
1:00:43 > 1:00:44You'll come through it, love.
1:00:46 > 1:00:49It's easy, you've come through worse than that.
1:00:50 > 1:00:53Mind you, there'll be a few tears.
1:00:53 > 1:00:57Why not? No shame in that. Be a bigger shame if there weren't.
1:00:59 > 1:01:03- I know she'll be good to them. - Aye, of course she will.
1:01:03 > 1:01:08Mind you, she'll be strict. She's a strong woman, though.
1:01:08 > 1:01:10- Ah, but it's Ann I'm worried about.- Ah...
1:01:10 > 1:01:13If she was keen to go, I'd feel better, you know?
1:01:13 > 1:01:16I wouldn't worry my head about that one. Ann?
1:01:16 > 1:01:19She'll survive the end of the world, that one.
1:01:25 > 1:01:27You want them to go, don't you?
1:01:33 > 1:01:37I'd rather they left me than me leave them.
1:01:54 > 1:01:56Oh!
1:01:58 > 1:02:00Billy.
1:02:02 > 1:02:04Goodness, you gave me a fright.
1:02:09 > 1:02:10Can't you sleep?
1:02:12 > 1:02:14You should have hit me harder.
1:02:14 > 1:02:16Knocked me out.
1:02:16 > 1:02:19I will if you're ever as silly again.
1:02:23 > 1:02:25Would you like a cup of tea?
1:02:26 > 1:02:29- Yes, please.- In here or out there?
1:02:29 > 1:02:31Out here.
1:02:56 > 1:02:58I'm sorry about that earlier.
1:02:58 > 1:03:00Sorry just about what you said to me
1:03:00 > 1:03:03or about what you said to your father as well?
1:03:05 > 1:03:07About it all.
1:03:08 > 1:03:12Well, why don't you tell your father that tomorrow?
1:03:12 > 1:03:15Ah, my da wouldn't know how to accept an apology.
1:03:15 > 1:03:17SHE LAUGHS
1:03:17 > 1:03:18Honestly, you two!
1:03:20 > 1:03:23If he was 25 years younger or you were 25 years older,
1:03:23 > 1:03:25you could pose as twins.
1:03:25 > 1:03:28I've heard of some reasons for not apologising
1:03:28 > 1:03:30but that just about beats them all.
1:03:33 > 1:03:36- You must wonder what you've let yourself into.- Oh, I can cope.
1:03:36 > 1:03:40We'll all get to know each other much more quickly this way.
1:03:40 > 1:03:42Unless we fall out.
1:03:42 > 1:03:45I don't believe in falling out, Billy.
1:03:45 > 1:03:48I believe in facing up to things and sorting them out.
1:03:48 > 1:03:51- You know Ann doesn't want to go with you.- Yes, I do.
1:03:51 > 1:03:54And if she gets any more encouragement from you,
1:03:54 > 1:03:56she'll be even more determined not to go.
1:03:56 > 1:03:57She shouldn't be forced to go.
1:03:57 > 1:03:59Oh, come on, now, Billy.
1:03:59 > 1:04:02I'm sure you and Lorna have had to force her to do things before now.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05- That's different. - Yes, it is. It's different.
1:04:05 > 1:04:07It doesn't involve your father appearing to win over you.
1:04:07 > 1:04:09Ach, I don't care about that.
1:04:09 > 1:04:13I care about Ann, I care about Lorna, and what they want should be considered.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15Billy, we're not complete fools.
1:04:15 > 1:04:17There is no earthly way those kids can leave
1:04:17 > 1:04:19without them and Lorna being hurt,
1:04:19 > 1:04:23- but I feel it has to be done. - Why?- Don't shout.
1:04:31 > 1:04:33We feel that we can offer them quite a lot
1:04:33 > 1:04:35and ultimately, it will be good for Lorna.
1:04:35 > 1:04:38- Oh, and how do you know that? - Because I'm a woman.
1:04:38 > 1:04:41Because I feel that life should have more to offer her
1:04:41 > 1:04:44than the burdens of child-rearing and looking after a sick old man.
1:04:44 > 1:04:48- Oh, yeah, you've got it all worked out.- No, not all of it.
1:04:48 > 1:04:51I don't want to leave here having made an enemy of you.
1:04:51 > 1:04:55I want to feel that we can come back and that you and Pauline will visit us.
1:04:56 > 1:04:59Pauline wants to come. And she's big enough to do it on her own.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01Aye, well, she'll probably have to.
1:05:01 > 1:05:04You're getting aggressive again, Billy.
1:05:06 > 1:05:12- I'm going back to bed. - Would you like some more tea?- What?
1:05:12 > 1:05:14You can have a fraction of a cup.
1:05:14 > 1:05:18I've noticed that you and your father are great ones for that.
1:05:18 > 1:05:21Half, three-quarters.
1:05:21 > 1:05:24Two-thirds.
1:05:24 > 1:05:27Whatever you like.
1:05:27 > 1:05:28Aye, all right.
1:05:28 > 1:05:29How much?
1:05:29 > 1:05:32Two-thirds.
1:05:41 > 1:05:45- Ian, all right? - Billy, what about you?
1:05:45 > 1:05:48I'm supposed to meet my da in here. Have you seen him?
1:05:48 > 1:05:51Yer da?
1:05:51 > 1:05:53No.
1:05:53 > 1:05:55Want another one?
1:05:55 > 1:05:57Go on, I'll have a pint.
1:05:57 > 1:05:59That's the same again, a pint of lager.
1:06:01 > 1:06:04Hey! Has Valerie been thumping you?
1:06:06 > 1:06:07I rowed with your da.
1:06:07 > 1:06:10Well, if you won, I wouldn't like to see the state of him.
1:06:10 > 1:06:14Hey, look, I was going well, right? I was going well.
1:06:14 > 1:06:19- Then I slid and that bastard stuck the boot in. - What were you rowing about?
1:06:21 > 1:06:23Me and her's not getting on.
1:06:25 > 1:06:27If she could walk up her mouth,
1:06:27 > 1:06:29she'd win the bloody Olympic marathon.
1:06:29 > 1:06:33Yap, yap, yap, yap. She never shuts bloody up.
1:06:33 > 1:06:35Ach, sure, what business is that of his?
1:06:35 > 1:06:37Ach...
1:06:37 > 1:06:40It's nothing.
1:06:40 > 1:06:41Hope it's not.
1:06:46 > 1:06:49- I've been messing about a bit with Shirley.- Oh...
1:06:50 > 1:06:53Valerie found out and told yer da.
1:06:53 > 1:06:55Ah, so marriage isn't great, eh?
1:06:55 > 1:06:57Jesus.
1:06:58 > 1:07:02Biggest mistake of my life.
1:07:02 > 1:07:04I tell ye, sometimes I feel like...
1:07:04 > 1:07:08just jumping from the top of that bloody ladder.
1:07:08 > 1:07:12- Ach, well, yer still at the windaes, then?- Aye.
1:07:13 > 1:07:17And the dole too. Can't make enough with the auld windaes.
1:07:17 > 1:07:21Hey, if you're caught, that's six months up the Crumlin Road.
1:07:21 > 1:07:24Would you write in and report me?
1:07:24 > 1:07:27- Six months in jail would get my bloody head straight.- Aw, that bad?
1:07:27 > 1:07:29Worse.
1:07:29 > 1:07:30Cheers.
1:07:34 > 1:07:35Oh, Christ.
1:07:36 > 1:07:40There's your bloody da. He's got Big Davie wi' him too.
1:07:40 > 1:07:44Hey, you, get away home the hell outta this.
1:07:44 > 1:07:47Hey, he's having a drink with me, all right?
1:07:47 > 1:07:50I'm not talking to you, Martin.
1:07:50 > 1:07:53Look, er, Billy. Sorry, I'd better get the hell outta this.
1:07:53 > 1:07:56You'll not. Look, I paid for that pint. Just drink it up.
1:07:56 > 1:08:00- Our Valerie's sitting waiting for you.- She can wait five minutes till he's finished his drink.
1:08:00 > 1:08:03This is none of your business, Martin.
1:08:03 > 1:08:06Look, I'm having a quiet drink, will you just get lost?
1:08:07 > 1:08:10- You going to make me? - Aye, certainly.
1:08:10 > 1:08:13Here now, take it easy, lads. Take it easy.
1:08:13 > 1:08:17You know, you're too quick to rise, Billy. Like yer da.

1:08:23 > 1:08:26Ah, Jesus. Now, hey, just a minute. Billy...
1:08:26 > 1:08:28Never mind, this has bugger all to do with you
1:08:28 > 1:08:32- but you don't frighten me. - I don't have to frighten you, son.
1:08:32 > 1:08:34I can just take you outside and tear you apart.
1:08:34 > 1:08:38- Aye, you can try.- Come on, now, lads. For Christ's sake, Billy.
1:08:38 > 1:08:39Shut you up or I'll drop you.
1:08:39 > 1:08:43Now, your da and me used to be good mates, son, but don't push it.
1:08:43 > 1:08:46You leave my da out of it. If he doesn't move, I'll move him
1:08:46 > 1:08:48and you can do what the hell you like about it.
1:08:48 > 1:08:51- If you lay a finger on Tommy, I'll cripple you, son.- Well, cripple me.
1:08:51 > 1:08:53You know the only reason you two's in the UDA
1:08:53 > 1:08:56and not the Salvation Army is cos you can't sing.
1:08:57 > 1:08:59You cheeky wee bastard.
1:08:59 > 1:09:03I'll leave you so's that Fenian nurse of yours won't recognise you.
1:09:03 > 1:09:07- I'd better go home to Valerie. - You stay there.- I've warned you.
1:09:07 > 1:09:08Billy!
1:09:09 > 1:09:11What's going on?
1:09:11 > 1:09:14- What about you, Norman? - What's going on?
1:09:14 > 1:09:17Yer wee lad here's getting ambitious.
1:09:17 > 1:09:19He wants to have a go at me.
1:09:21 > 1:09:26- Three of you?- Hey, look, it's not me, Mr Martin.
1:09:26 > 1:09:29Look, I'm with Billy here. I'm just rushing home to the wife.
1:09:29 > 1:09:31So, it's you and this shite, eh?
1:09:33 > 1:09:35You game, son?
1:09:39 > 1:09:43- Aye, I'm game, da.- Jeez, I wouldn't have missed this for anything.

1:09:47 > 1:09:50Right, you two, outside.
1:09:52 > 1:09:54Hold it, Norman.
1:09:55 > 1:09:59The wee lad, no probs. You on your own, just maybe.
1:09:59 > 1:10:02But the two of you together, no way.
1:10:02 > 1:10:04Are you backing down?
1:10:04 > 1:10:09Put it whatever way you like, but I'm not taking the two of yous.
1:10:09 > 1:10:12What about him?
1:10:13 > 1:10:17Ah, well, he's sorry he started all this
1:10:17 > 1:10:19and he want to buy you a drink to apologise.
1:10:21 > 1:10:23Four pints, is it?
1:10:27 > 1:10:28Five.
1:10:29 > 1:10:32You settle for a pint, son?
1:10:32 > 1:10:35One?
1:10:35 > 1:10:40You bloody Martins. I'll buy the next one.
1:10:43 > 1:10:45Five pints, please.
1:10:47 > 1:10:50BOTH LAUGH
1:10:50 > 1:10:53I thought Big Davie was going to cry when you hit him!
1:10:53 > 1:10:56I'd told ya, never negotiate with the likes of them.
1:10:56 > 1:10:59Jeez, we learned that much from Chamberlain.
1:10:59 > 1:11:03Round here, the hard men are the ones who get the first dig in.
1:11:03 > 1:11:05Anyway, didn't take you long to finish off Agnew.
1:11:05 > 1:11:07Ach, no problems.
1:11:07 > 1:11:11Hey, I couldn't, like. You know, and all that.
1:11:11 > 1:11:13Ah, sure. You'd have spoilt the Martin double act.
1:11:13 > 1:11:16- We only wanted you to hang the coats.- Honestly!
1:11:16 > 1:11:19- Fighting like silly big youngsters. - Oh, big youngsters, eh?
1:11:19 > 1:11:22I'd love to see the big youngsters who could fight like us.
1:11:22 > 1:11:25I don't know what Mavis is going to say, and Pauline.
1:11:25 > 1:11:28Davie's a sleekit big git, so he is. Oh, I know what his game was.
1:11:28 > 1:11:30He'd have filled us full of drink
1:11:30 > 1:11:32and then got half a dozen of his mates in.
1:11:32 > 1:11:35We'd have been kicked round the streets. Davie forgets him and me
1:11:35 > 1:11:39- were drinking buddies. I know his tricks.- Put the heart across me.
1:11:39 > 1:11:41I thought you were fighting each other.
1:11:41 > 1:11:44Fighting each other? If we'd been fighting each other,
1:11:44 > 1:11:46- you'd have to carry him in. - Away with yourself!
1:11:46 > 1:11:48What's Pauline going to say to you?
1:11:48 > 1:11:51That she should beat the tripe out of me.
1:11:51 > 1:11:52LAUGHTER
1:11:52 > 1:11:55I couldn't care les!
1:11:55 > 1:11:57Hey, all the same, I'd better go.
1:11:57 > 1:12:00It's a big day tomorrow, you know?
1:12:00 > 1:12:02Work and that.
1:12:02 > 1:12:06Make sure you're up and away before Tommy gets hold of you.
1:12:06 > 1:12:09What? Sure, I didn't have them.
1:12:09 > 1:12:12No, neither did he. That's the trouble.
1:12:12 > 1:12:17- Here, look. Thanks. Thanks a lot, guys.- See you.- I'll see yous again.
1:12:17 > 1:12:20- Aye, see you, son.- I'll see you.
1:12:20 > 1:12:24- More tea?- No, no, love. Here, hey.
1:12:24 > 1:12:28- We'd better get up them two women, eh? You ready?- Aye.- Come on.
1:12:28 > 1:12:31Well, it's really great to see you two together again.
1:12:31 > 1:12:35- Even if you are big hooligans. - Hold, now, the night's young yet.
1:12:35 > 1:12:38- We could still have a barney. - Hey, watch it, you!
1:12:38 > 1:12:41Just cos you stuck a lucky one on Big Davie, don't be getting ambitious.
1:12:41 > 1:12:45- You watch it too.- For God's sake! LAUGHTER
1:12:49 > 1:12:51Swear to God and hope to die.
1:12:51 > 1:12:55I will not! Not on a Sunday. Look, I've told you, we're friends now.
1:12:55 > 1:12:57- And when will you be over? - For Christmas.
1:12:57 > 1:12:59Christmas?! That's not for ages!
1:12:59 > 1:13:01- Will Pauline be with you? - Of course.
1:13:01 > 1:13:04So, will we get one dead dear present, or two cheap ones?
1:13:04 > 1:13:06We'll have to see how you behave, won't we?
1:13:06 > 1:13:08Will Lorna and Uncle Andy get over too?
1:13:08 > 1:13:11Well, not all at once. I mean, er...
1:13:11 > 1:13:13It'll probably be too cold for Andy at Christmas,
1:13:13 > 1:13:16but he'll be over at Easter and next summer.
1:13:16 > 1:13:18- Will you write to me, Billy?- Aye, sure.
1:13:18 > 1:13:21- Pauline and Lorna will write to you too.- What about me?
1:13:21 > 1:13:23Well, we'll write to you too.
1:13:23 > 1:13:26I'm going to ask Uncle Andy to write to me.
1:13:26 > 1:13:28Mavis says we'll have a room each.
1:13:28 > 1:13:30With desks and dressers and all.
1:13:30 > 1:13:33Da says I can have my own portable TV at Christmas.
1:13:33 > 1:13:35And there's two toilets in the house.
1:13:35 > 1:13:37Da says he'll take us to the pictures and all.
1:13:37 > 1:13:41It's just going to be like having a real mummy and daddy.
1:13:48 > 1:13:50Hey, Billy?
1:13:50 > 1:13:53- How you going?- Ian. All right.
1:13:53 > 1:13:55How's Valerie?
1:13:56 > 1:13:58Oh, her?
1:13:59 > 1:14:02- She's moved me into the back room. - She's...?
1:14:02 > 1:14:03BILLY LAUGHS
1:14:06 > 1:14:08Look. Hey, Billy.
1:14:08 > 1:14:11You know, when I think of the old days, you know,

1:14:17 > 1:14:19HE LAUGHS
1:14:19 > 1:14:22None of this bloody old marriage lark.
1:14:22 > 1:14:27I'm sure you're still up the entry with Shirley. So, what's changed?
1:14:27 > 1:14:29Everything's changed, mate.
1:14:30 > 1:14:31Yeah.
1:14:31 > 1:14:33Hey, look. Bit of advice, Billy.
1:14:35 > 1:14:39Don't you get married, right?
1:14:39 > 1:14:42Aye, well, I'm not planning to.
1:14:46 > 1:14:48Oh, here. Hey.
1:14:48 > 1:14:51I saw your da and the new missus.
1:14:51 > 1:14:53HE SNORTS WITH LAUGHTER
1:14:53 > 1:14:58You'd think he'd have learned his lesson last time.
1:14:58 > 1:15:01- Oh, hey. Er, I didn't mean it. - He's all right this time.
1:15:03 > 1:15:05Oh, aye?
1:15:05 > 1:15:07IAN CHUCKLES
1:15:07 > 1:15:10- Hey, she's a bit of all right there.- Aye, she is.

1:15:38 > 1:15:42Aye, doesn't seem like a week.
1:15:42 > 1:15:45I do hope it's a good crossing for the girls' sakes.
1:15:45 > 1:15:48I think we'll fly over at Christmas. I hate the boat.
1:15:48 > 1:15:52If you get a berth, get in early and put your head down, it's OK.
1:15:52 > 1:15:55I used to get seasick on the swings, I'm afraid.
1:15:57 > 1:15:58Look, er...
1:15:59 > 1:16:03Er, if nobody minds, I'll walk over.
1:16:03 > 1:16:06- I just feel like a walk. - That's all right, love.
1:16:16 > 1:16:18- Maybe I should...- No, love.
1:16:24 > 1:16:25Your move.
1:16:26 > 1:16:28Huh?
1:16:28 > 1:16:30Oh! Oh, aye.
1:16:32 > 1:16:34Ah.
1:16:34 > 1:16:37Look, maybe we should leave it. You're off your game the night.
1:16:38 > 1:16:41Aye, aye.
1:16:41 > 1:16:42The old, er...
1:16:42 > 1:16:45- the old belly's playing up a bit, you know?- Aye.
1:16:45 > 1:16:49We can start over again tomorrow when you're feeling better.
1:16:49 > 1:16:50Aye.
1:16:57 > 1:17:01- Get a few sweets for the boat, girls.- Oh, thanks, John.
1:17:04 > 1:17:07- Billy.- John.
1:17:09 > 1:17:12- Where's the others? - They'll be over later.

1:18:08 > 1:18:10Aye.
