0:02:40 > 0:02:47'There are songs to sing, feelings to feel, and thoughts to think.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51'And you can't do three things at the same time.

0:02:51 > 0:02:56'The singing is easy; the thinking comes with the tune;

0:02:56 > 0:03:02'so that leaves only the feeling. Am I right, or am I right?

0:03:02 > 0:03:08'I can sing the singing, I can think the thinking,

0:03:08 > 0:03:14'but you're not going to catch ME feeling the feeling. No, sir.'

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Mam... Dad was wavin'.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38He was wavin' all the time, Mam.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Mam... Our Mam!

0:04:02 > 0:04:05'That's bloody old Hitler done for.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08'So everything'll be all right.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11'That's what 'em do say, innit?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14'It'll be a lovely day tomorrow.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18'What's it? Bluebirds an' that. Over the...

0:04:18 > 0:04:26'Everybody says, when the war is over - lights and flowers, butter, eggs, the LOT...

0:04:26 > 0:04:30'Comics, sweets, everything!

0:04:30 > 0:04:35'It'll be all right, all right, ALL RIGHT.

0:04:35 > 0:04:43'"War Rushing To An End", exclamation mark! I do like me an exclamation mark.'

0:05:17 > 0:05:23- MARLOW AS A MAN: - 'The rooks gather in the lost trees, comma,

0:05:23 > 0:05:30'like premonitions of the night. Full-stop. Why do they cry? Question mark.'

0:05:39 > 0:05:45# 'I'm gonna buy a paper doll, That I can call my own

0:05:45 > 0:05:52# 'A doll that other fellows cannot steal...'

0:05:53 > 0:05:58# And then the flirty, flirty guys, With their flirty, flirty eyes

0:05:58 > 0:06:04# Will have to flirt with dollies That are real

0:06:04 > 0:06:11# When I come home at night, She will be waiting

0:06:11 > 0:06:17# She'll be the truest doll In all this world

0:06:17 > 0:06:24# I'd rather have a paper doll To call my own

0:06:24 > 0:06:30# Than have a fickle-minded real live girl. #

0:06:31 > 0:06:35# I guess I've had a million dolls or more

0:06:36 > 0:06:41# I guess I've played The doll-game o'er and o'er

0:06:42 > 0:06:46# I've just quarrelled with Sue

0:06:46 > 0:06:48# That's why I'm blue

0:06:48 > 0:06:51# She's gone away and left me

0:06:51 > 0:06:54# Just like all dolls do

0:06:54 > 0:06:59# I tell you, boys, It's tough to be alone

0:06:59 > 0:07:03# And it's tough to love a doll

0:07:03 > 0:07:06# That's not your own

0:07:06 > 0:07:10# I'm through with all of them. #

0:07:37 > 0:07:44VERY FAINT: # 'I tell you, boys, It's tough to be alone

0:07:44 > 0:07:50# 'And it's tough to love a doll That's not your own

0:07:50 > 0:07:56# 'I'm through with all of them, I'll never fall again

0:07:56 > 0:08:01# 'Say, boy, whatcha gonna do-o-o-o?

0:08:01 > 0:08:07# 'I'm gonna buy a paper doll That I can call my own...' #

0:08:41 > 0:08:43'Mam... Mam! Oy, Mam...

0:08:43 > 0:08:51'Why can't Our Dad come wi' us to London? Why do him have to stay? Eh, Mam?

0:08:51 > 0:08:57'Questions, questions! They won't let him out the pit, that's why.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59'Then why don't WE stay?

0:08:59 > 0:09:06'I wouldn't stay in that house for £100. Not if you put it in my hand now.'

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I know. I know, I know, I know.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Questions, questions.

0:09:28 > 0:09:35FAINT SOUND OF SOLDIERS MARCHING AND WHISTLING "LILI MARLENE"

0:09:41 > 0:09:47# ..You'll always be my Lili Of the lamp-light

0:09:47 > 0:09:53# My own Lili Marlene... #

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Mein hat! Mein bloody hat!

0:10:03 > 0:10:08Englander pig-dogs! This is bloody Biggles' doing!

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Hip-hip! HOORAY!

0:10:28 > 0:10:34'Hip-hip! HOORAY!' Hip-hip! HOORAY!

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Enough! That will do. >

0:10:39 > 0:10:44Deeper...and DEEPER! Look at it now!

0:10:44 > 0:10:49Deeper into the black heart of the evil land!

0:10:49 > 0:10:54Oh, boys and girls! Oh, it'll be a very great day,

0:10:54 > 0:10:59< the day that is coming. Better than any you've ever known.

0:10:59 > 0:11:06Better even than Christmas or your birthday! It will be a WONDERFUL day... Yes, Rita?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Will the bells ring, Miss?

0:11:09 > 0:11:16Oh, indeed, the bells will ring out, yes! All the church bells!

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Starting with Westminster Abbey,

0:11:19 > 0:11:26then all across the country, from John o' Groats to Land's End... Yes, Brian?

0:11:26 > 0:11:35Will there be bonfires, Miss? Yes, indeed, Oh, yes! But on top of each one won't be Guy Fawkes,

0:11:35 > 0:11:38< but old Hitler himself!

0:11:38 > 0:11:41< He can raise his arm and shout "Heil",

0:11:41 > 0:11:45but WHOOSH, makes no difference!

0:11:45 > 0:11:49< Crackle, crackle, up in flames he goes!

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Enough! That will do.

0:11:54 > 0:12:00When darkness falls on that day, victory day,

0:12:00 > 0:12:06all the lights will begin to glow again, to beam and twinkle again.

0:12:06 > 0:12:12All the lights will go back on, > boys and girls.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15All the lamps in the street, >

0:12:15 > 0:12:19< the lights in the shop. Lights, lights,

0:12:19 > 0:12:22everywhere a-shining!

0:12:23 > 0:12:29< Ah, but can you even begin to imagine what that will be like?

0:12:29 > 0:12:33Can you remember the lights? Can anyone remember?

0:12:33 > 0:12:36No, none of you recall peacetime. >

0:12:36 > 0:12:40< But it won't be long, the way things are going.

0:12:40 > 0:12:48Thanks to our brave soldiers and sailors and airmen: God bless their hearts.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Oh, it certainly won't be long now!

0:12:51 > 0:12:54< The great day is coming!

0:12:55 > 0:12:59So...chests out...

0:13:00 > 0:13:03< ..shoulders back...eyes bright!

0:13:03 > 0:13:06< Shape each word loud and clear.

0:13:07 > 0:13:15We are going to sing the song that is at last, at long last, going to come true... One and two!

0:13:15 > 0:13:21# It's a love-ly day to-morrow

0:13:21 > 0:13:27# Tomorrow is a love-ly day

0:13:27 > 0:13:32# Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes

0:13:32 > 0:13:37# On tomorrow's clear blue skies

0:13:37 > 0:13:42# If today your heart is weary

0:13:42 > 0:13:47# And every little thing looks grey

0:13:47 > 0:13:53# Just forget your troubles, And learn to say

0:13:53 > 0:13:59# Tomorrow is a love-ly day. #

0:14:01 > 0:14:07HE MAKES NOISES LIKE SHELLS EXPLODING

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Stop it, Philip.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Mam... Our Mam.- What is it now?

0:14:16 > 0:14:20Why won't they let Our Dad out of the pit?

0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Direction of Labour.- What's that?

0:14:24 > 0:14:30It's doin' what we're told as makes us free.

0:14:30 > 0:14:35Just sit quiet. You should've brought your "Hotspur".

0:14:35 > 0:14:40Look out the window before it gets too dark to see.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45It ain't half a long way. England's a big country.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Excuse me.

0:15:12 > 0:15:18- Excuse me... Would you like a cigarette?- Don't smoke.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Oh, dear. No vices, eh?

0:15:22 > 0:15:25I wouldn't bank on it.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45'Seeing things again, are we?'

0:16:09 > 0:16:13'Something's wrong. This ain't never right.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17'Where's Our Dad? Do him know about the woods?

0:16:17 > 0:16:21'What be they lookin' at I for?

0:16:21 > 0:16:27'Is it MY fault again? Perhaps they be German in disguise.

0:16:27 > 0:16:33'But I thought everything was going to be all right when we beat them.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36'But where...where are we going?

0:16:36 > 0:16:39'Round and round, I reckon.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42'Round and round and bloody round.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46'Same bits all the time.

0:16:47 > 0:16:52'Summat's wrong. Summat's bloody wrong, mind.'

0:16:52 > 0:16:55MRS MARLOW SOBS LOUDLY

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Is there anything we can do, love?

0:17:05 > 0:17:10- What's the matter? It can't be as bad as that.- Mam, don't.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13It's... I'm all right.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17It's... Leave me alone.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20I'll be all right in a minute.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31Irreducibly beyond elucidation.

0:17:31 > 0:17:36THAT wins a prize! A subscription to the Reader's Digest.

0:17:36 > 0:17:41- Impossible to unravel, I mean. - You think so?- Oh, yes.

0:17:41 > 0:17:47There are always things that puzzle us as children. Accept it.

0:17:47 > 0:17:53- DO you?- I accept the sky, I accept the birds, I accept bird-shit.

0:17:53 > 0:18:01There are always things from our childhood that we can never properly work out. They are mysteries.

0:18:01 > 0:18:07They remain so...even to a writer of detective stories.

0:18:07 > 0:18:15- You're not a character out of The Maltese Falcon. You're like someone in The Archers.- Sorry?

0:18:15 > 0:18:21The way you pace up and down behind me where I can't see you!

0:18:21 > 0:18:26Are you pretending to be eccentric, or are you genuinely cuckoo?

0:18:27 > 0:18:33D'you think it helps? If so, let me tell you it's VERY IRRITATING!

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Mmm-hmm... Mmm-hmm.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39God in heaven!

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Has your wife not been to see you?

0:18:43 > 0:18:50- Oops, sorry! You said you were not married, didn't you? - Ahhhh, there you are(!)

0:18:51 > 0:18:54You're beginning to look better.

0:18:54 > 0:19:01- Am I(?) - You seem to be in less pain, eh? - It's not hurting so much.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05- Let go these neck muscles.- What?!

0:19:05 > 0:19:11- Look round.- How?- Turn your head. You'll get fewer headaches.

0:19:11 > 0:19:16- Who said I...? - But you DO, don't you? Severe ones.

0:19:16 > 0:19:21And, partly as a result, your perceptions are distorted, hmm?

0:19:21 > 0:19:26Minute by minute we make the world. We make our own world.

0:19:26 > 0:19:35- The point is...- THAT IS the point. - The point is, you ARE beginning to use your body more freely.

0:19:35 > 0:19:40Leaving aside the skin, is the arthropathy less pronounced?

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Maybe.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47Wouldn't you be better off in a side ward?

0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Why? - You might want to start working.

0:19:51 > 0:19:56- With more peace, more privacy... - How can I do that?

0:19:56 > 0:20:03- I- never write anything. I dictate. Ever tried it?- Who to...TO WHOM?

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Oh, there ARE people...agencies.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Has someone been getting at YOU? - What?

0:20:10 > 0:20:19Has a high-class whore of my former acquaintance been thrusting her hard little nose into my affairs?

0:20:19 > 0:20:23Mr Marlow, you DO intend to get better?

0:20:23 > 0:20:27- What?!- You DO want to? - What do you think?

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Chronic illness can be a useful shelter.

0:20:31 > 0:20:38A cave in the rocks, into which one can safely crawl... Illness, is it not a cave?

0:20:38 > 0:20:43Not much of one. A very poor BLOODY CAVE!

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Not a comfortable one, of course!

0:20:46 > 0:20:54No, there are bats in it! Rodents with wings of skin, and fur, and eyes that can see in the dark!

0:20:54 > 0:20:57But then, you know about BATS!

0:20:57 > 0:21:02- What do you mean?! - You see... You turned.

0:21:02 > 0:21:10- You turned, virtually all the way round. - Yes, I did... I mean, I am.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13KNOCK AT DOOR

0:21:19 > 0:21:22What's the matter? What's going on?

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Progress. Undoubted progress!

0:21:25 > 0:21:31Who knows how far it'll go. Tomorrow can be a brighter day!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33I never went to see Billy Graham.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39But there IS someone you remind me of.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44# It's a love-ly day to-morrow,

0:21:44 > 0:21:48# Tomorrow is a love-ly day... #

0:21:48 > 0:21:55- MARLOW AS A MAN: - 'Swing it, jazz it, drag it, howsoever the beat.

0:21:55 > 0:22:03'I know hoods when I see them. You don't play nursery tunes to pugs with marbles for eye-balls.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06'I knew I was ankle-deep in a mess.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11'I had to decide whether to let the ooze get up to my knee-bones.

0:22:11 > 0:22:19'Something needed doing, and I don't mean dropping the toast to see if it lands butter-side up.'

0:22:54 > 0:22:59Do you ever go to the zoo, Mr Binney?

0:22:59 > 0:23:07- Or maybe the reptile house? Ever watch a tiger in his cage? - What are you on about?- Pad, pad...

0:23:08 > 0:23:16Looking for a way out, any way through those bars. But you know what the tiger hasn't worked out?

0:23:16 > 0:23:19- What?- There IS no way out.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22They never get out. Period.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Let's forget the silly second-hand remarks.

0:23:26 > 0:23:34- Do you mean my paperback-soiled, side-of-the-mouth, mid-Atlantic quips?- Precisely.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37It's too late to change my style.

0:23:37 > 0:23:44Well, you'll have to change something. What have you come up with?

0:23:44 > 0:23:48As yet, nothing. Zero. Nix. Nichevo.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51- What?- Russian for big-O.

0:23:51 > 0:23:55Yes, I know it's Russian.

0:23:55 > 0:24:00- Mr Marlow, you can't deny I'm paying you good money.- Money!

0:24:00 > 0:24:05Why "good" money? I don't know its virtue.

0:24:05 > 0:24:12Good or bad, I'm paying you because I heard you were the best. So precisely what are you doing?

0:24:12 > 0:24:17- Vamping.- What?!- Vamping till ready.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Can't you talk in decent English?

0:24:20 > 0:24:27Vamp till ready. That's what the piano player does while he's waiting for the band.

0:24:27 > 0:24:33- Jesus! You'll be telling me next you don't know Hoagy's surname. - Who?!

0:24:33 > 0:24:39- Carmichael... It's CARMICHAEL! - For God's sake!

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Yellow-mellow.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Not curling at the edges.

0:24:47 > 0:24:55So far, the intro does not tell us the sort of song, so we must vamp until things start unravelling.

0:24:55 > 0:25:00- We have to wait.- What if the police arrest me? They might.

0:25:00 > 0:25:09If the cops had enough, they'd have nabbed you. They're not broody hens. They don't sit on their eggs.

0:25:09 > 0:25:14- What?!- They like to break the shell and FRY what's inside.

0:25:14 > 0:25:22- I'm the last person to see her alive!- Last but one. - Ah, yes, of course. Last but one.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26You have some expensive things.

0:25:26 > 0:25:31- I have some NICE things. - That's not what I meant.

0:25:31 > 0:25:36EXPENSIVE, I said. Hideously expensive things.

0:25:36 > 0:25:41Tastes differ. YOU'RE more at home in dance halls, I dare say.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44You're not exactly penniless, eh?

0:25:44 > 0:25:48- I do all right.- Oh, I can see THAT.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53- But what do you "do all right" AT? - I buy. I sell.

0:25:53 > 0:25:59- But what do you buy, what do you sell?- That's MY affair.

0:25:59 > 0:26:05But maybe you're selling the wrong sort of stuff to the wrong people.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Some trades are not healthy. - Really(?)

0:26:09 > 0:26:17Maybe the gap's too big between purchase and sale price. The word for THAT begins with "T".

0:26:19 > 0:26:23- No.- No?- No!

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

0:26:26 > 0:26:31- Why do you ask? - How's your German, Kamerad?

0:26:31 > 0:26:39- I speak it, a little.- How little? "Auf" but not "Wiedersehen"? - Enough to find my way around.

0:26:39 > 0:26:44- Or to say "Guten Tag" to some Nazi on the run?- What?

0:26:44 > 0:26:49Well, now...am I right, or am I right?

0:26:51 > 0:26:54You see, I'm a slow sort of guy.

0:26:54 > 0:26:59I can't even keep up with a retired tortoise.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03But funny little tunes DO make me tap my toes.

0:27:03 > 0:27:08And I get there. I get there in the end.

0:27:08 > 0:27:14MARLOW HUMS A FEW BARS OF "DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES"

0:27:20 > 0:27:23I think...

0:27:23 > 0:27:26I think I've underestimated you.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Well, that's no new experience.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Mr Marlow...

0:27:34 > 0:27:37My ears swivel when I'm listening.

0:27:37 > 0:27:44- I HAVE slightly misled you. I didn't go to that nightclub by accident.- I'm listening.

0:27:44 > 0:27:52A club like that isn't just a high-class brothel. Not all those girls are what they seem.

0:27:52 > 0:27:59- Girls are never what they seem. - Murder's not my cup of tea, I can tell you.

0:27:59 > 0:28:04Somebody is trying to pin the girl's death on ME.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08It may well be a counter-intelligence thing.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12- D'you understand?- Go to the window. - What?!

0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Take a peep.- Why?- Pierce the gloom.

0:59:10 > 0:59:16Wouldn't it be better to think of, well...something else?

0:59:27 > 0:59:30Yeah. Something else.

0:59:41 > 0:59:44Mr Marlow!
