0:13:41 > 0:13:43Am I supposed to know you?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Thought as how you might.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Ever fight your pup?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Never. What about the piano?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50What about it?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Should I tune it? Cost you half a bar.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Life's easier than that. Take a quid and leave the piano undisturbed.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Why would I take your quid?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Just to be a pal.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15What's that I smell on you? Hair oil?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I can't understand why a man of your talents
0:14:18 > 0:14:19wears them rags.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Clothes are a lot of blinking excitement about nothing,
0:14:23 > 0:14:27and my rags are the uniform of my independence.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Clothed in your perfect pitch.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Now you understand me, Mr Mordinoy.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Life's a piece of meat when you know how.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Most people here are victims.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Hurry, worry, and scurry to make a bit of brass.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43What's your kind, Mr Mordinoy? Willful and deceitful.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Take what you want, right?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49That's what it's about. Be a victim or a thug.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53But suppose you don't want to be neither, like me?
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Then what?
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Then what? >
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Who's talking to you?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Hey...

0:15:08 > 0:15:11She don't like the rough stuff.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Have to box clever there.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Yes, I suppose you would.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Change, please, miss.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24You're new here, aren't you?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Who's this Mordinoy? Run the place now, does he?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Wouldn't dirty his hands on it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Then what's he doing here?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36The gentlemen come in to converse with me.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Now kindly move on.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44How do I get in your good books, Ada?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Don't you know when your health is good?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Wished I was a painter.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56And you'd do what?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Well, what does a painter do?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02In this book,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05a painter does some very strange things.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Calls it art, too, he does.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11You an artist?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Me? Tune pianos, that's me.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Well...
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I see.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I happen to be working on my greatest invention -

0:16:43 > 0:16:45I like that kind of talk.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46You do?
0:16:46 > 0:16:51It sounds barmy as the muffin man, but I like it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53That brings up one question, Ada.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54What?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57What time do you get off?
0:16:57 > 0:16:596.30. Around the back.

0:17:31 > 0:17:32When what?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34When he was a man.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Ike Webber, a friend of my ma's, told me this.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40"As I was out walking,

0:18:38 > 0:18:40What's the dog doing here?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I don't go out with dogs, you know.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46All right. I'll drop him off on the way.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Come on.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Kissing you like that - the first meeting.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I never done a thing like that before
0:19:02 > 0:19:03in my life.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Lucky me.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Lucky you.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Well, now.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Five red beetles on the end of your fingers.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18G sharp - the pitch of that.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Perfect pitch, that's me. G sharp.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Not one in a million has that.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Very unusual person, didn't you know?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Are you?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Yes, and all I want to do is hold you
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and murder anyone who'd say a word to you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Interesting program, but what's it get me?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Only trouble.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Why don't you put that hat on?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I don't want to spoil me hair.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Meeting someone?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00It's late, later than I thought.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Time is not of the essence with me.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06No place to go and going there tomorrow.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I don't pretend to know what that means.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Fight like cats with Ma.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Told her off today, so it's the end.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17She don't know they milk the cow that stands still.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Wants me in that silly business of hers,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22squeezing pennies out of paupers.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24No, thank you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30You mean you're leaving London in the morning?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Can't think of any reason not to, can you?
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Inviting me in?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38No. My aunt and uncle's asleep in the back.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I'd like to smash you one with this.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Why?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I feel like I know you a whole lifetime.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Do you want to see me cry?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53No.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Then say goodbye and go.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04No sense in this. You're leaving in the morning.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Just wasting our time, that's all.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08You're a stranger. We meet.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Suddenly... Have you ever been in love?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14You make me feel 12-years-old again.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I don't know why.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You're the only man I've met in years
0:21:19 > 0:21:21who gives me any feeling.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Say goodbye. That's the end.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I'll drop by the funfair tomorrow.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Don't.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Good night, Ada.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Goodbye, Ern.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37In the end, you wouldn't give me what I need.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Confidence - that's what a woman needs.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Confidence?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Yes.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Good thing then you won't see me again.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48No future in me for anyone like you.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50No confidence.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Good night, Ada.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11It's worth every penny you ask, irregardless.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I'll send Mr Lesser for it this afternoon.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16It goes in my private collection.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I couldn't find the heart to sell it.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Good enough, Ike.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23If you can afford it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Would your son like to clean the mechanism?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28He's got talent for such things.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32I see your mind is somewhere else today.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Still the same old trouble?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39He won't stay home.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Proud as a queen's carriage he is,
0:22:42 > 0:22:43and independent.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46He's leaving home for good today.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Excuse me for mentioning it,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51but why don't I talk to him?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54You've got to help me, Ike.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Of course. Irregardless.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I'm ill.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01What your wife up and died of.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Oh.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08It might happen sooner than I think.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Thinking out loud,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15it would be very fine
0:23:15 > 0:23:18if you had him with you for...
0:23:18 > 0:23:21for the next few months.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22You need sleep
0:23:22 > 0:23:25and special considerations.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27That's impossible with him
0:23:27 > 0:23:29walking around the country.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Why don't you tell him?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35No, but, Mrs Mott,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37isn't it possible that maybe
0:23:37 > 0:23:40you exaggerate his feelings?

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Don't think they do you any good, do you?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12At least as much as you do.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14See, that's what I mean.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Never an hour of peace between us.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Reckon the stork brought you
0:24:18 > 0:24:20the wrong sort of son.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Wouldn't be surprised.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26You'll never get me to stay and run this shop.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I won't sweat pennies out of devils poorer than meself,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32not if I had both legs cut off.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I'd crawl out in the street.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26I'm sick of this street.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I've smelled it for almost five times seven years.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34Quick, let a wind come and blow it all to pieces.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Well, I'm leaving for good now.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Miss me, will you?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43It's nothing to do with me

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Yes, I'll miss you.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Marry you quick if I had the chance.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53What about money?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Money talks, they say.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30in the East End of London?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32In the old days, I mean.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34What about it?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Excuse me if I put a flea in your ear.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Your mother is a very sick woman.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48Pay it. I'll be on my way.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Does she have a pain for her no-good son?
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Your mother is not a superficial woman, Mr Mott.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20When she gets ill, she gets ill.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27What is it?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Cancer.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36I recommend you not to say a word to her.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Are you laughing?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Huh?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Thought I heard you laughing.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Seems like I saw you before.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Wasn't it the other night in Westminster?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35What's your name, son?

0:37:15 > 0:37:17Glad you like it, son.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Supper's nearly ready.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Sit down and have your supper, son.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Wish you'd walk past Fish And Chips,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49let that Mrs Tate see you,
0:37:49 > 0:37:52not to mention dear Ma Fadden
0:37:52 > 0:37:55and the plaster-haired Alf.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Surprise them all, won't I?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Surprises me most.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03You look just like your father did...
0:38:03 > 0:38:05on his best days, that is.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Did you love my old man?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Love's not for the poor, son.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14No time for it.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Expect you to do something for me tonight.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22What?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Stroll around with me.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28We'll see a film - the two and fourpenny seats.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Don't you try any of them larks on me.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34I'm old enough to be your mother.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Ha ha!
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Ha ha ha!
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Come on, Ma. Do it.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Couldn't do it, son.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Why not?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Too rich for my blood.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Besides, sleep's a blessed thing.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03What's wrong, Ma? Something hurt you?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06No. What gave you that idea?
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Got a funny story right on the tip of me tongue
0:39:10 > 0:39:13about a little man in the park.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Isn't them yeast tablets up on the mantelpiece?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Tummy ache.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40What about that funny story, son?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Oh, yeah.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47This little man is in the park, see?
0:39:49 > 0:39:50That's peculiar.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53It slipped my mind now.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Ache all gone?
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Nothing to it.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Sausage ain't right for delicate appetites.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Go on.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04You cook them a treat, Ma.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Worst cook in London town.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Don't try buttering me up.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10If it's a pound you want,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13you'll find it up there under the vase.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15That's it, Ma.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Seen right through me, you did.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Off you go then. Tomorrow's Sunday.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26It don't matter how late you come back.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Don't wake me.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Well, er...
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Well, I'm off, Ma.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Have a good time, boy.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Thanks, Ma.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Hey, hey.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Your hat's on crooked.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Quiet as a little mouse.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Listen, Ernie.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13I'm sorry you've come back.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Ow!
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Rolled an ice-cold pickle jar
0:41:17 > 0:41:19down my back, you did.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21You mean that, Ada?
0:41:21 > 0:41:22You're not serious.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27I'm not an apple to take a bite of and throw away.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29I thought for five weeks
0:41:29 > 0:41:31whether to see you again.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33What are you looking at, Ada?
0:41:33 > 0:41:35See a parade going by?
0:41:35 > 0:41:41Yes, maybe a whole bloomin' parade of troubles.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45You can't fight it out out here.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47There's places for such things.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Best find one.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04DOOR BELL JINGLES
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Who's that?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Me, Mrs Mott. Millie Wilson.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Alone, are you?
0:42:22 > 0:42:23You drunk?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26No. Give it up, I did.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Give it up.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Ma Snowden sent me.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32She got herself half a dozen feather pillows,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35soft enough for aristocracy.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Never slept on, neither.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Where'd they come from?
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Usual place?
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Yes.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46You know I don't handle stolen goods, Millie.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49She'd sell them cheap, she would.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50No. >
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Three or four fine woollen blankets, too.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56No.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58GROWLING
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Quiet.
0:42:59 > 0:43:00Sorry, Mrs Mott.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08CLOCK CHIMES
0:43:15 > 0:43:19Now, be a good boy, Ernie, and say good night.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23What a way you have of making simple things difficult.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Think so?
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Suppose a certain party
0:43:28 > 0:43:31doesn't happen to like me seeing you?
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Who would that be?
0:43:33 > 0:43:34Jim Mordinoy.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Mordinoy? The flash boy?
0:43:36 > 0:43:39How has he crept into your life?
0:43:39 > 0:43:42Didn't say he had, did I?
0:43:42 > 0:43:44There's about 20 good kisses left in me,
0:43:44 > 0:43:46but he'll never get one.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Told him so?
0:43:48 > 0:43:49More than once.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Then that's that.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53According to whose book?
0:43:53 > 0:43:54Ernie Mott's.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57I'd blind him out of two eyes
0:43:57 > 0:43:59quick as see him.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Here's hoping you don't try.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Now, say good night, Ernie,
0:44:05 > 0:44:07and let's forget it all.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10We all right for next Wednesday night?
0:44:11 > 0:44:14Take me dancing?
0:44:14 > 0:44:17Anything you like, Ada.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Here's five beetles on it.
0:44:31 > 0:44:32Give over, boy.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35You'll mash me to a pulp.
0:44:40 > 0:44:41Wednesday, 9.30, then.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43That's it.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Okey-doke, Aggie. It's a friend.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Oh. What are you doing out
0:45:10 > 0:45:12this late at night?
0:45:12 > 0:45:14Bit of fresh air.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16Tall tonight.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18The high-heeled shoes.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21I've just finished playing at a club dinner.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23You know what they're like -
0:45:23 > 0:45:26a lot of men smoking cigars
0:45:26 > 0:45:28and getting tight and showing off.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30I get sick of it.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32I thought you'd forgotten me.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35No, not at all.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Want some coffee?
0:45:53 > 0:45:55No, thanks, Aggie.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Are you a fortune-teller, Aggie?
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Somewhat.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15I'm on the fringes of a great romance.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17What'll I do?
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Have it.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22But it's not you, Aggie.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26That's no news, is it?
0:46:26 > 0:46:28I know you like it honest.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32Don't often meet a cavalier this late at night.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35It ain't fair to you, these meetings.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38Oh, really, Ern. You're a fool.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Moody, you're clever, you're human,
0:46:41 > 0:46:43but you're a fool.
0:46:43 > 0:46:44You love another girl, right?
0:46:44 > 0:46:48I know why you're staying.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50No, that isn't why, Aggie.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Well, then why?
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Me ma is ill.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Last card in the pack, it looks.
0:47:02 > 0:47:03Oh.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06All roads lead to Ma this year.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11What'd we start talking about?
0:47:11 > 0:47:14Nothing that won't keep.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18I'd better make a move.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21I get an idea she don't sleep every night.
0:47:21 > 0:47:22Mind the step.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Wait a minute, Ernie.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27Don't worry for me.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29I'm here if you need me.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32If I love you, it's something I can't help
0:47:32 > 0:47:34and something that I need.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36People are what they are
0:47:36 > 0:47:38and love what they love,
0:47:38 > 0:47:41and I don't see any sense
0:47:41 > 0:47:43in trying to be something else.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47I wouldn't trade it for a box at the opera,
0:47:47 > 0:47:49the thing I feel for you.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52You can't take it away from me.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55There you are, Mr Jack-in-the-box.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58Now, cross over and sleep well.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Hmm.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21You don't think it's worth more, Ike?
0:48:21 > 0:48:24To my mind, no, Mrs Mott.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26All right.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Hmm. Hmm.
0:48:30 > 0:48:34It adds up just under £200,
0:48:34 > 0:48:37the piano not included.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40That's very disappointing.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42You expected it to be more?
0:48:42 > 0:48:44That's nothing.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Go through his generous hands in a year.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54Look at him out there.
0:48:54 > 0:48:59Never know it was the same boy, would you?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02There's such things as prayers being answered.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05Yes, the places of the world are empty,
0:49:05 > 0:49:07and the human heart is everything.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11Oh, that's a speech.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Well, I'll go.
0:49:14 > 0:49:15Thank you, Ike.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17You're a sport.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19Anytime, Mrs Mott.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23A pleasure to serve you, irregardless.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Whoa!
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Ah, me Verdun boy!
0:49:42 > 0:49:44How are you?
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Fine.
0:49:46 > 0:49:47How's your Ma?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49What have you got there?
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Selling fruit round the pubs.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55Doing a rare old trade and all.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57That your Ma playing peek-a-boo in there?
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Call her out.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01A person of me own generation.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05Ma, want you to meet a friend of mine.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07Henry Twite.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09Asked how I was, did you?
0:50:09 > 0:50:11Been better, been worse.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14All right with you, me old china?
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Ain't bad, Mr Twite. Could be better.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20This is from your hopeful heir.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23Sent by a dutiful son who's looking after his Ma
0:50:23 > 0:50:26while she's still here to be looked after.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29You buy these for me, son?
0:50:29 > 0:50:30Er...
0:50:35 > 0:50:38Looks like you made a hit there, son.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41Yeah, looks like I did. Thanks.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42Box of doll's eyes.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Found them in a shipment.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Where are you off to?
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Stay for tea.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51No. Meet me any night at Tiger's place.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Give me a leg up.
0:50:53 > 0:50:54Can't dally with friendship
0:50:54 > 0:50:57when making a living's in the air.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59Come on.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05Lovely man, that.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Oh, I should say so.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10Never had anything like that give me.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13Some people don't even tune a piano for me
0:51:13 > 0:51:15when it's promised.
0:51:15 > 0:51:16Anyone so thoughtless
0:51:16 > 0:51:19ought to have their bottom spanked.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21I'll be over in a minute.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Nice man, that Twite.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31Best of the best.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34Had a quiet sniff, did you?
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Change the subject or I'll howl, I will.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39Promised to tune Ma Chalmers piano.
0:51:39 > 0:51:40DOOR BELL JINGLES
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Someone in the shop.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48Ha ha!
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Ha ha!
0:51:55 > 0:51:57What did do you with my Millie Wilson?
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Your Millie Wilson?
0:51:59 > 0:52:01You set the dog on her.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04You're as daft as she is.
0:52:04 > 0:52:05Come here, Millie.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Didn't she set the dog on you?
0:52:08 > 0:52:10Yes, she did. The white one.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13Wish I had, that's what.
0:52:13 > 0:52:14That's your trouble, Mother Mott.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17Don't you "Mother Mott" me, Jane Snowden.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19I'll put you in the gutter
0:52:19 > 0:52:21if you raise your voice.
0:52:21 > 0:52:25I can see you don't realise what's involved.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27Not three or four, but £500.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31and just for selling stolen goods.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34What's the income of your shop
0:52:34 > 0:52:35compared with that?
0:52:35 > 0:52:37Shoplifting, that's plain.
0:52:37 > 0:52:38Save your breath.
0:52:38 > 0:52:42We do the lifting. You just do the selling.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45That's just like walking through an orchard
0:52:45 > 0:52:46picking apples.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49No bid. No bid, Mrs Snowden.
0:52:49 > 0:52:51You tire me out, you do.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54I have nothing more to say.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56I shan't waste me time.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58"There's Ma Mott," I says.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00"Let her make enough
0:53:00 > 0:53:03"to live out her life in peace,
0:53:03 > 0:53:06"maybe leave a bit for her boy.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09"Good old Mother Mott," I says.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12There's the gratitude, Millie - called a thief.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15Something for the book, that's what it is.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17I've got nothing more to say.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22But if you happen to change your mind,
0:53:22 > 0:53:25you know where I'll be.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28£500, I says.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Not less.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37PIANO BEING TUNED
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Like me, Ernie?
0:53:53 > 0:53:55A bit.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03There are three reasons why I dislike dancing.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05One, I don't dance good enough.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08Two, it's too hot.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11And three, what's Mordinoy doing here?
0:54:11 > 0:54:13He owns this place.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15What makes that tie the lamb's tail?
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Want to stop?
0:54:17 > 0:54:20Suits me.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28Don't you think I know three's a crowd?
0:54:28 > 0:54:30He invited himself.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32It's not important.

1:39:12 > 1:39:13an official sort of smell.
1:39:13 > 1:39:15Follow him.

1:42:43 > 1:42:45What are you thinking, Verdun boy?
1:42:47 > 1:42:49I'd best be off to Ada's.
1:42:49 > 1:42:53She's expecting me, and she'll be worried.
1:42:53 > 1:42:56Got a nice toy for her kiddy here.
1:43:02 > 1:43:06She gave me that to give to you last night,

1:45:23 > 1:45:25Yes, I have, Dad.
1:45:27 > 1:45:30Sometimes late at night I hear it -
1:45:30 > 1:45:32a shuddering echo.
1:45:32 > 1:45:34And I hear it say,
1:45:34 > 1:45:37"Wake up. The world needs happiness."
1:45:37 > 1:45:39Well, the world finds something
1:45:39 > 1:45:42if it needs it bad enough,
1:45:42 > 1:45:45but sometimes it takes a war.
1:45:45 > 1:45:48So if there's a better world to be made,
1:45:48 > 1:45:52you young ones will have to make it.
