00:02:15,078 --> 00:02:18,206
They can't pull this place down,
they can't.
20
00:03:10,258 --> 00:03:13,386
He's gone.
21
00:03:14,345 --> 00:03:17,474
He's taken everything.
22
00:03:18,475 --> 00:03:21,603
Only thing left is one pair
of shoes under the bed.
23
00:03:23,229 --> 00:03:26,357
How can he have
just walked out like that?
24
00:03:28,443 --> 00:03:31,571
"I can't live with you," he said.
25
00:03:31,905 --> 00:03:35,033
"You're a slag." Packs his stuff.
26
00:03:37,619 --> 00:03:40,747
I called him a German poof.
27
00:03:41,539 --> 00:03:43,750
He went mad.
28
00:03:43,950 --> 00:03:46,878
He ripped off all my clothes,
hit me in the mouth.
29
00:03:50,965 --> 00:03:54,094
My lip's killing me.
30
00:03:54,594 --> 00:03:57,722
Why don't you have a good steam?
31
00:04:01,059 --> 00:04:04,187
I know you'll say
that I've got to get a job,
32
00:04:04,687 --> 00:04:07,816
I've got to stand on my own two feet.
33
00:04:10,235 --> 00:04:13,363
How can I find a job like this?
34
00:04:16,324 --> 00:04:19,452
I've got to have excitement, or I die.
35
00:04:19,744 --> 00:04:22,872
I couldn't stand the boredom of it.
36
00:04:22,956 --> 00:04:26,084
I'd go mad.
37
00:04:30,255 --> 00:04:33,383
He can't have just left
like that, can he?
38
00:04:34,592 --> 00:04:37,721
Well, love, he has ...so he can.
39
00:04:40,890 --> 00:04:44,018
Now that it's happened,
you've just got to face it.
40
00:04:47,313 --> 00:04:50,442
What's going to happen
to me now, Violet?
41
00:04:51,985 --> 00:04:55,113
Right now
you're going to take off your clothes
42
00:04:55,864 --> 00:04:57,699
and have a good steam-up.
43
00:04:57,899 --> 00:05:00,493
I even went down on my knees to him.
44
00:05:00,693 --> 00:05:03,621
I begged him,
I even said I'd try and stop swearing.
45
00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:08,877
I've got this horrible feeling.
46
00:05:09,711 --> 00:05:12,839
It came up from deep down
inside of me.
47
00:05:15,050 --> 00:05:17,677
It's a terrible feeling.
48
00:05:17,877 --> 00:05:20,722
I'm all choked up.
49
00:05:20,922 --> 00:05:23,725
I said I've got to get meself a job.
50
00:05:23,925 --> 00:05:26,519
He said your place is in the home.
51
00:05:26,719 --> 00:05:29,105
"I've got no money," I said.
52
00:05:29,305 --> 00:05:31,399
See, my wrists, they're all bruised.
53
00:05:31,599 --> 00:05:34,527
That's from banging
them against the wall!
54
00:05:39,366 --> 00:05:42,494
Trouble is, I know that it's hopeless.
55
00:05:45,455 --> 00:05:48,208
I want him back, Vi.
56
00:05:48,408 --> 00:05:51,336
I want him back more than anything.
57
00:05:58,593 --> 00:06:01,721
It's starting to snow again.
58
00:06:18,863 --> 00:06:21,991
Shut up, Bill.
You've been saying that for years.
59
00:06:24,577 --> 00:06:27,706
This place was built as a luxury
for working people, not a shithouse.
60
00:06:33,294 --> 00:06:34,963
Yes, love?
61
00:06:35,163 --> 00:06:38,091
- Is Sarah Constable here?
- Uh, no. Not yet.
62
00:06:38,425 --> 00:06:40,844
Er, she always comes
on a Friday, though.
63
00:06:41,044 --> 00:06:42,846
One of my regulars, is Sarah.
64
00:06:43,046 --> 00:06:45,306
Not as regular as some,
but most Fridays.
65
00:06:45,506 --> 00:06:48,435
I expect she'll be here soon.
She loves a good steam-up.
66
00:06:49,102 --> 00:06:51,980
- You had your roof fixed yet, Mrs M?
- No.
67
00:06:52,180 --> 00:06:54,315
But I've always been a lucky person.
68
00:06:54,515 --> 00:06:57,235
Perhaps it'll stop
when the weather gets better.
69
00:06:57,435 --> 00:07:00,363
It'll frighten Dawn to have
a man climbing about on the roof.
70
00:07:01,364 --> 00:07:03,366
- Might fall through!
-
71
00:07:03,566 --> 00:07:06,494
Why don't you have a steam-up
while you're waiting? Tea?
72
00:07:06,578 --> 00:07:09,706
No. I'll wait for Sarah
to come and show me the ropes.
73
00:07:10,999 --> 00:07:13,418
You ought to get them to re-house you.
74
00:07:13,618 --> 00:07:16,212
I like the early morning
in the summertime.
75
00:07:16,412 --> 00:07:19,257
ln the summertime
I go out and water my garden.
76
00:07:19,457 --> 00:07:22,385
They wouldn't give me
a garden if I moved.
77
00:07:24,337 --> 00:07:27,265
Besides, I'd rather have a hole
in the roof than leave my garden.
78
00:07:28,224 --> 00:07:31,352
Mum made me a lovely
dinner yesterday, Vi.
79
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:35,148
Roast chicken, roast potatoes,
bread sauce, cauliflower.
80
00:07:37,650 --> 00:07:40,111
- Gravy!
- Gravy!
81
00:07:40,311 --> 00:07:41,654
Very nice.
82
00:07:41,854 --> 00:07:44,783
We did enjoy it.
Enjoyed it, yes, lovely, Mum.
83
00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:53,750
Hi, Josie.
84
00:07:53,950 --> 00:07:56,878
They do look good, don't they?
85
00:07:58,171 --> 00:08:01,257
You're back
with that foreign fellow. I can tell.
86
00:08:01,457 --> 00:08:04,052
Yeah! Do you know what?
87
00:08:04,252 --> 00:08:07,180
I've got my rollers in my hair,
a long nightdress,
88
00:08:07,263 --> 00:08:10,392
the top of a pair of old pyjamas...
89
00:08:11,684 --> 00:08:14,813
..and he still wants to fuck me.
90
00:08:17,315 --> 00:08:20,443
His life is automatic.
91
00:08:20,735 --> 00:08:23,863
Get up, get dressed, go to work,
92
00:08:24,989 --> 00:08:28,118
come home, have dinner,
have a wash, watch telly, have a screw.
93
00:08:29,994 --> 00:08:33,123
Only thing he does like - sex,
every night, and loads of it.
94
00:08:34,332 --> 00:08:36,668
I'm even getting sick of that.
95
00:08:36,868 --> 00:08:39,796
- And you know me, I love it.
- You want to get decent fellow.
96
00:08:40,422 --> 00:08:43,299
A decent man!
There aren't any of those anymore.
97
00:08:43,499 --> 00:08:45,343
My husband was a gentleman,
98
00:08:45,543 --> 00:08:48,471
but that's because he was
seventeen years older than me.
99
00:08:48,555 --> 00:08:51,683
He never interfered with me,
not after Dawn was born.
100
00:08:53,226 --> 00:08:56,354
- Well, you can't have my husband.
- Well, there you are.
101
00:08:56,563 --> 00:08:59,023
So, I'm stuck with my Jerry.
102
00:08:59,223 --> 00:09:02,152
Oh, he said to me, Vi, "I'm bored."
103
00:09:02,944 --> 00:09:05,697
"Oh, so you're bored, are you?"
104
00:09:05,897 --> 00:09:08,324
So I picks up his shirt
105
00:09:08,524 --> 00:09:10,410
and one by one,
106
00:09:10,610 --> 00:09:13,455
I start twisting off the buttons.
107
00:09:13,655 --> 00:09:16,583
One, two, three, four.
108
00:09:16,958 --> 00:09:19,002
"There you are," I says,
109
00:09:19,202 --> 00:09:22,130
"Go and sew those back on.
That'll give you something to do."
110
00:09:22,547 --> 00:09:25,675
Well, he just looks at me.
Stared at me, like this.
111
00:09:26,051 --> 00:09:29,179
Then he says, " Do you like snow?"
112
00:09:29,596 --> 00:09:31,765
"Not much," I says.
113
00:09:31,965 --> 00:09:34,893
And he goes to my cupboard
and gets out a bag of flour
114
00:09:35,101 --> 00:09:37,437
and scatters it everywhere.
115
00:09:37,637 --> 00:09:39,981
It gone all over the place.
I just laughed.
116
00:09:40,181 --> 00:09:41,566
He didn't laugh.
117
00:09:41,766 --> 00:09:44,694
He sat and stared at me
while I cleaned up.
118
00:09:46,154 --> 00:09:49,282
Oh, there's no joy there.
119
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:55,038
I'm so sorry I'm late.
120
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,165
I was early.
121
00:09:57,365 --> 00:09:59,459
Both my assistants went out
122
00:09:59,659 --> 00:10:02,337
for long business lunches
and there was a crisis.
123
00:10:02,537 --> 00:10:04,297
- Hi, Sarah.
- Hello.
124
00:10:04,497 --> 00:10:07,425
Nothing makes me more angry
than their expensive lunches.
125
00:10:07,550 --> 00:10:09,761
No wonder
young men get heart attacks.
126
00:10:09,961 --> 00:10:12,555
- You look great.
- So do you.
127
00:10:12,755 --> 00:10:14,849
You haven't changed a bit.
128
00:10:17,385 --> 00:10:20,063
- But you've had masses of children.
- Only three.
129
00:10:20,263 --> 00:10:23,191
Come on, let's take our things off.
I'll show you around.
130
00:10:24,484 --> 00:10:27,487
- Hello.
- Oh, Nancy, this is Violet.
131
00:10:27,687 --> 00:10:30,615
- Hello, Violet.
- Violet takes care of us all here.
132
00:10:37,539 --> 00:10:40,667
When I'm in debt, like now,
it's as if only half of me were there.
133
00:10:43,837 --> 00:10:46,965
The other half's going round
and round in my head.
134
00:10:47,882 --> 00:10:50,468
Shall I pay me electric?
135
00:10:50,668 --> 00:10:53,179
Shall I pay me telephone bill?
136
00:10:53,379 --> 00:10:56,307
If I sell that carriage clock,
I might be able to settle the gas bill.
137
00:10:57,183 --> 00:11:00,311
Round and round.
Oh, it drives you mad!
138
00:11:01,146 --> 00:11:04,274
There's only three ways
of getting money.
139
00:11:04,733 --> 00:11:07,861
One, you inherit it,
two, you marry it, three, you earn it.
140
00:11:10,530 --> 00:11:13,658
Well, three's out. So what can I do?
141
00:11:13,783 --> 00:11:15,744
Get yourself a job, love.
142
00:11:15,944 --> 00:11:18,288
What? ln Woolworths?
143
00:11:18,488 --> 00:11:21,416
I'd go mad with boredom,
you know I would.
144
00:11:21,583 --> 00:11:24,711
I'd like to work in Woolworths.
145
00:11:25,628 --> 00:11:28,757
Sarah,
the most ghastly thing's happened.
146
00:11:29,591 --> 00:11:32,343
- What is it?
- The washing machine's broken.
147
00:11:32,543 --> 00:11:35,472
The man promised to come yesterday.
And I waited for him all day.
148
00:11:37,849 --> 00:11:40,977
- He never turned up?
- No.
149
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,608
And, to top it all, as I was leaving
on my way to come over here,
150
00:11:48,568 --> 00:11:51,696
poor Nina was sick
all over the bedroom carpet.
151
00:11:51,988 --> 00:11:54,407
Poor thing, she's fifteen years old.
152
00:11:54,607 --> 00:11:57,535
Oh, dogs!
We become so dependent on them.
153
00:12:01,998 --> 00:12:03,541
Here, Josie.
154
00:12:03,741 --> 00:12:06,669
He's going to have to pay my bills.
It's not that I'm greedy.
155
00:12:07,337 --> 00:12:10,465
It's just that I haven't got it.
156
00:12:10,632 --> 00:12:13,760
And Oliver split with his girlfriend.
157
00:12:15,053 --> 00:12:18,098
Since he's going to
be at university in York,
158
00:12:18,298 --> 00:12:21,226
what's the point of having
a girlfriend in London?
159
00:12:23,103 --> 00:12:26,231
He wouldn't be able
to see her at weekends.
160
00:12:28,233 --> 00:12:31,361
Come on. Let's go.
161
00:12:32,404 --> 00:12:35,532
- Here's your usual.
- Oh, Violet.
162
00:12:36,908 --> 00:12:39,452
I brought this
fabulous shampoo from Paris.
163
00:12:39,652 --> 00:12:42,580
- You must try it.
- I didn't think I'd wash my hair.
164
00:12:42,747 --> 00:12:45,417
What? But that's part of it!
165
00:12:45,617 --> 00:12:48,545
Hey, you've got to
surrender to all the sensations
166
00:12:49,170 --> 00:12:51,756
- that water can give you.
-
167
00:12:51,956 --> 00:12:54,843
You've got the cold shower
stinging your skin,
168
00:12:55,043 --> 00:12:56,428
the softness of the steam.
169
00:12:56,628 --> 00:12:59,556
It's excellent to take a cold drink
when you've been in the heat.
170
00:13:00,181 --> 00:13:02,726
The scrubbing, lathering,
hot and cold water
171
00:13:02,926 --> 00:13:05,061
being thrown all over you.
172
00:13:05,261 --> 00:13:07,147
The icy shock of the plunge.
173
00:13:07,347 --> 00:13:10,233
How could you possibly leave
out your hair?
174
00:13:10,433 --> 00:13:13,361
Let's get into the steam.
You'll love it.
175
00:13:22,996 --> 00:13:26,124
Blood red...silk.
176
00:13:30,378 --> 00:13:33,506
A pool...of red...silk.
177
00:13:38,636 --> 00:13:41,765
My body...slipping
178
00:13:43,224 --> 00:13:46,352
from side...to side...
179
00:13:50,315 --> 00:13:53,443
..on this...blood...
180
00:13:55,987 --> 00:13:59,115
red...silk.
181
00:14:04,829 --> 00:14:07,957
I was just wondering if
what I'd like would be
182
00:14:10,668 --> 00:14:13,797
a piece of fried pork with an egg on it.
183
00:14:17,050 --> 00:14:20,178
Or eggs and bacon and beans.
184
00:14:21,179 --> 00:14:24,307
Or...a leg of lamb
185
00:14:26,434 --> 00:14:29,562
with fresh mint from the garden
186
00:14:30,814 --> 00:14:33,942
what the frost hasn't killed,
187
00:14:34,275 --> 00:14:37,195
roast potatoes,
188
00:14:37,395 --> 00:14:39,823
carrots,
189
00:14:40,023 --> 00:14:42,951
and then...a lovely steam pudding
190
00:14:45,328 --> 00:14:48,456
with treacle poured all over it.
191
00:14:53,378 --> 00:14:56,506
- Try it, it's special.
- You must tell me about your job.
192
00:14:56,881 --> 00:15:00,009
Oh, I come here to get away from it.
193
00:15:00,844 --> 00:15:03,972
My offices are in the new block
just around the corner.
194
00:15:04,180 --> 00:15:07,225
Even my secretary
doesn't know about this place.
195
00:15:07,425 --> 00:15:09,894
I love it,
but you have to work terribly hard.
196
00:15:10,094 --> 00:15:13,022
It was a surprise
when you took up law. Blast!
197
00:15:13,231 --> 00:15:16,359
- What is it?
- I left the vinegar in the decanter.
198
00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:19,487
It was stained. You get stains
out of cut-glass decanters
199
00:15:20,989 --> 00:15:23,366
by filling them with salt and vinegar.
200
00:15:23,566 --> 00:15:26,494
That's really useful information!
Come on.
201
00:15:36,963 --> 00:15:40,091
Take your hat off.
202
00:15:43,470 --> 00:15:46,598
I never use shampoo.
203
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:49,768
It's a waste of money.
204
00:15:54,773 --> 00:15:57,901
Were you surprised when I got
in touch with you after all this time?
205
00:15:59,819 --> 00:16:02,947
It was a nice surprise.
206
00:16:05,033 --> 00:16:08,161
I was nervous
how you'd get on with William.
207
00:16:08,361 --> 00:16:11,289
Or how he would get on with me.
208
00:16:16,169 --> 00:16:19,297
Do you miss living with a man?
209
00:16:21,132 --> 00:16:24,135
No, not the with men I have lived with.
210
00:16:24,335 --> 00:16:27,263
Hm, the problem is that I do fancy men.
211
00:16:32,268 --> 00:16:34,187
I would like to be with one man,
212
00:16:34,387 --> 00:16:37,315
but I don't want any of the hassle
that comes with them.
213
00:16:37,690 --> 00:16:40,819
- ♪ And you can't have one...
- ..without the other.
214
00:16:42,362 --> 00:16:45,490
Dawn and me look forward
to coming here all the week.
215
00:16:47,826 --> 00:16:50,412
It's our big day.
216
00:16:50,612 --> 00:16:52,956
It's boring all the other days.
217
00:16:53,156 --> 00:16:55,166
You be quiet!
218
00:16:55,366 --> 00:16:58,294
You get well looked after, don't you?
219
00:16:59,003 --> 00:17:02,132
It's boring!
220
00:17:07,095 --> 00:17:10,223
She's been hearing the policemen again.
221
00:17:10,423 --> 00:17:13,351
She thinks they're hiding
in the garden, watching her.
222
00:17:14,185 --> 00:17:17,313
These three policemen,
Dawn keeps on seeing them.
223
00:17:17,731 --> 00:17:20,859
We've always been a decent family.
Kept ourselves to ourselves.
224
00:17:21,735 --> 00:17:24,863
Never let my children
play in the streets.
225
00:17:24,988 --> 00:17:28,116
I've lived round here most of my life
and I've never had hot water.
226
00:17:29,784 --> 00:17:32,912
Then I'm lucky, 'cause if I had
hot water I'd be like Josie,
227
00:17:33,621 --> 00:17:35,915
always worrying about the bills
228
00:17:36,115 --> 00:17:38,501
and I wouldn't get
the company I get here.
229
00:17:38,701 --> 00:17:40,378
Dawn, up on the scales.
230
00:17:40,578 --> 00:17:43,506
I'm not going back to skipping
whatever Auntie Bernice says!
231
00:17:44,049 --> 00:17:47,177
Get up.
I want to see how you're doing.
232
00:17:47,260 --> 00:17:49,929
Oh, you'd better have a good steam-up.
233
00:17:50,129 --> 00:17:52,515
You've put three pounds
on since last week.
234
00:17:52,715 --> 00:17:54,893
No, I haven't.
It's me hair what's grown.
235
00:17:55,093 --> 00:17:58,021
Oh, no, it is not.
It's those jelly babies you keep eating.
236
00:17:59,731 --> 00:18:02,859
Mind, not all the neighbours are good.
237
00:18:03,651 --> 00:18:05,779
There's an old woman in the street.
238
00:18:05,979 --> 00:18:08,365
She says she's seen her drinking gin
239
00:18:08,565 --> 00:18:11,326
and attempting
to sing in the microphone.
240
00:18:11,526 --> 00:18:14,454
My Girl!
Shouldn't never go in the pub.
241
00:18:31,346 --> 00:18:33,765
You're so marvellously sexy.
242
00:18:33,965 --> 00:18:36,893
How do you get more
sexy-looking as time goes by?
243
00:18:37,310 --> 00:18:39,354
Well, I don't feel it.
244
00:18:39,554 --> 00:18:41,523
But I do seem to be more energetic.
245
00:18:41,723 --> 00:18:44,651
-
- It's hot!
246
00:18:45,902 --> 00:18:47,570
I don't.
247
00:18:47,770 --> 00:18:50,699
I mean, I get energetic at home,
looking after everything,
248
00:18:50,990 --> 00:18:54,119
trying to make sure
everything really works.
249
00:18:57,956 --> 00:19:01,084
- Actually, I don't get out much.
- It's rather nice coming here.
250
00:19:02,544 --> 00:19:05,672
Nice?
251
00:19:06,464 --> 00:19:09,592
It's wonderful coming here.
252
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,601
You know, you look a bit hurt,
253
00:19:18,801 --> 00:19:21,730
a bit forlorn.
254
00:19:22,188 --> 00:19:25,316
Perhaps you out to get out more.
255
00:19:32,991 --> 00:19:36,119
Now that the children are older,
why don't you get a job?
256
00:19:36,828 --> 00:19:39,497
I wanted to get a job, but William said
257
00:19:39,697 --> 00:19:41,750
we couldn't afford the extra help.
258
00:19:41,950 --> 00:19:44,878
What possible use can one be
in the big wide world
259
00:19:45,462 --> 00:19:48,048
when all one knows
how to do is to stay in
260
00:19:48,248 --> 00:19:50,633
and wait for the telephone engineer,
261
00:19:50,833 --> 00:19:53,428
the gas man,
the man from the electricity board,
262
00:19:53,628 --> 00:19:56,556
the man to fix the washing machine?
263
00:20:02,854 --> 00:20:05,982
Why is it always men, I wonder?
264
00:20:07,275 --> 00:20:10,403
I suppose all the women
are waiting in like me.
265
00:20:10,487 --> 00:20:13,615
Ladies-in-waiting!
266
00:20:15,825 --> 00:20:18,953
It sounds like
Buckingham Palace or a prison.
267
00:20:19,371 --> 00:20:21,247
And you have to be there
268
00:20:21,447 --> 00:20:23,708
every day
when they get back from school.
269
00:20:23,908 --> 00:20:25,293
Always be there.
270
00:20:25,493 --> 00:20:28,421
Otherwise your friends say
you'll have neglected children,
271
00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:30,673
they'll turn into delinquents,
272
00:20:30,873 --> 00:20:33,802
they'll steal, take drugs...
273
00:20:33,885 --> 00:20:37,013
..and they'll end up
dead from an overdose.
274
00:20:39,099 --> 00:20:42,227
So different from your life.
275
00:20:45,855 --> 00:20:48,608
I used to get terribly hurt,
276
00:20:48,808 --> 00:20:51,736
but I protect myself now.
277
00:20:52,529 --> 00:20:55,657
How do you do that?
278
00:20:56,241 --> 00:20:59,369
Well, I listen a lot...
279
00:21:00,161 --> 00:21:02,914
..not like at school.
280
00:21:03,114 --> 00:21:06,042
I think a lot more.
281
00:21:06,334 --> 00:21:09,462
It's become a habit to put
in more hours and thought
282
00:21:09,713 --> 00:21:12,215
than might be considered normal,
283
00:21:12,415 --> 00:21:15,009
making it pretty damn hard
for them to attack me
284
00:21:15,209 --> 00:21:18,138
and tell me I'm wrong
or that I'm stupid, or that I'm lazy.
285
00:21:30,025 --> 00:21:33,153
Work is a great protector.
286
00:21:33,236 --> 00:21:36,364
Here, Celia,
you come from a good home.
287
00:21:37,032 --> 00:21:39,492
Is this normal?
288
00:21:39,692 --> 00:21:42,620
He has it six times the other night,
289
00:21:43,329 --> 00:21:46,207
and after every time
he went and had a wash
290
00:21:46,407 --> 00:21:48,626
and he expects me to do the same.
291
00:21:48,826 --> 00:21:51,755
I was trooping back and forth all night.
292
00:21:53,089 --> 00:21:55,550
Mad bastard!
293
00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:57,844
No wonder I'm wore out.
294
00:21:58,044 --> 00:22:00,972
Mm.
295
00:22:03,516 --> 00:22:06,644
My cat stayed out all night.
296
00:22:07,103 --> 00:22:08,980
Never done that before.
297
00:22:09,180 --> 00:22:12,108
I shouldn't worry.
He's probably got a girlfriend.
298
00:22:12,525 --> 00:22:15,653
He's not interested in girlfriends.
299
00:22:15,862 --> 00:22:18,073
He's been doctored.
300
00:22:18,273 --> 00:22:21,201
Mind you, it could be the toms
are making his life a misery.
301
00:22:23,328 --> 00:22:26,456
I had a friend once,
she had a doctored tom.
302
00:22:27,832 --> 00:22:30,585
There weren't any females in the area.
303
00:22:30,785 --> 00:22:33,713
Local toms made his life a misery.
304
00:22:34,255 --> 00:22:36,132
Took him for a female.
305
00:22:36,332 --> 00:22:39,260
Made his life a misery.
306
00:22:41,846 --> 00:22:44,974
I was just wondering
how it was that you got started.
307
00:22:45,517 --> 00:22:48,645
- One minute you were, sort of, jet set.
- Drop out!
308
00:22:49,687 --> 00:22:52,816
Well... And the next
you're a qualified lawyer.
309
00:22:53,858 --> 00:22:55,902
How did you take off?
310
00:22:56,102 --> 00:22:59,030
Well, I went to see
old Mr Nicholas, my father's solicitor.
311
00:23:00,865 --> 00:23:03,034
He looked at me so sadly.
312
00:23:03,234 --> 00:23:06,162
He said, "With your academic record,
had you been your father's son,
313
00:23:07,789 --> 00:23:10,917
"you would be head of a large
corporation by this time."
314
00:23:11,584 --> 00:23:14,379
Suddenly I got very angry.
315
00:23:14,579 --> 00:23:17,507
I said to him, " How do you do it?
How do I go about it?"
316
00:23:19,134 --> 00:23:22,262
He helped me.
He really encouraged me.
317
00:23:23,722 --> 00:23:26,141
And I worked hard,
318
00:23:26,341 --> 00:23:28,309
but it took a long time.
319
00:23:28,509 --> 00:23:31,438
Work, goodness, it can't just be work.
320
00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:42,157
Ooh!
321
00:23:49,372 --> 00:23:52,125
Give yourself a good hard rub.
322
00:23:52,325 --> 00:23:55,003
Oh, it's warm, it's luxury.
323
00:23:55,203 --> 00:23:58,048
I wish that I dared get in the plunge.
324
00:23:58,248 --> 00:24:00,592
It's not deep, it's only very cold.
325
00:24:00,792 --> 00:24:03,720
I feel beautifully healthy.
I'm dying for a cigarette.
326
00:24:04,095 --> 00:24:06,264
Oh, I'm frightened of water.
327
00:24:06,464 --> 00:24:08,516
I never learnt to swim.
328
00:24:08,716 --> 00:24:11,269
There's always a problem somewhere.
329
00:24:11,469 --> 00:24:14,397
Enjoy yourself while you can.
That's what I always say.
330
00:24:14,439 --> 00:24:17,567
I'm frightened of putting
me head right under.
331
00:24:33,958 --> 00:24:37,087
So now I'm going to be working.
Just like you.
332
00:24:38,213 --> 00:24:41,341
At least my body will be admired
and not abused.
333
00:24:41,466 --> 00:24:43,802
That's a start.
334
00:24:44,002 --> 00:24:46,930
The club's topless
and I've just got to wear seamless tights
335
00:24:47,222 --> 00:24:50,058
and this blood-red shawl
round me waist.
336
00:24:50,258 --> 00:24:53,186
- Exactly what I should wear at work.
- I've seen a jacket just like yours.
337
00:24:55,063 --> 00:24:58,191
Now I'm going to have some money.
338
00:24:59,734 --> 00:25:02,862
I know I'm extravagant
with clothes, but that's me.
339
00:25:03,738 --> 00:25:06,866
I've always been like that.
340
00:25:08,993 --> 00:25:11,496
You've got lovely kids, Violet.
341
00:25:11,696 --> 00:25:14,624
And not one of them in borstal.
You're lucky!
342
00:25:16,292 --> 00:25:18,962
Listen, if anyone ever says,
343
00:25:19,162 --> 00:25:22,090
"Isn't Violet lucky?
She's got four lovely kids,"
344
00:25:22,290 --> 00:25:25,218
you tell them I sweated blood
every moment of their growing.
345
00:25:26,010 --> 00:25:29,139
And if they're any good now, that's why.
346
00:25:29,389 --> 00:25:32,517
My little boy's been stuck
in reform school since he was fifteen.
347
00:25:34,144 --> 00:25:37,272
Just like his dad.
348
00:25:37,397 --> 00:25:39,315
How about your kids, Nancy?
349
00:25:39,515 --> 00:25:42,444
My eldest is about to go to university,
350
00:25:43,528 --> 00:25:46,656
my youngest
is about to go to boarding school.
351
00:25:47,782 --> 00:25:50,785
I bet you did it all just right.
352
00:25:50,985 --> 00:25:53,913
Always in bed early, so you could
cook the kids' breakfast in the morning.
353
00:25:55,457 --> 00:25:58,585
Sometimes I resented it. I never said so.
354
00:25:59,044 --> 00:26:02,172
Once they all forgot my birthday.
The whole family.
355
00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:05,759
I'd never reminded them.
I just thought to myself,
356
00:26:07,093 --> 00:26:10,221
"You're going to grow up into
horrible people and it's all your fault."
357
00:26:19,314 --> 00:26:22,442
I wish my Johnny had gone
to university instead of borstal.
358
00:26:24,986 --> 00:26:28,114
All he knows is thieving.
359
00:26:46,633 --> 00:26:49,344
Is your husband well-off, Nancy?
360
00:26:49,544 --> 00:26:52,472
We were pretty hard-up
when we first married.
361
00:26:52,672 --> 00:26:55,600
Now we've got a lot of school fees,
so we had to give up our skiing break.
362
00:26:56,768 --> 00:26:59,896
- You mean you've never been in debt?
- No!
363
00:27:00,772 --> 00:27:02,399
Fuck me!
364
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:05,527
That's the first time I've ever
met anyone who's never been in debt.
365
00:27:14,452 --> 00:27:17,580
My husband left me.
366
00:27:23,795 --> 00:27:26,923
Why didn't you tell me?
367
00:27:27,123 --> 00:27:30,051
Last summer, one evening,
we were going out for dinner.
368
00:27:31,428 --> 00:27:33,763
I'd put my dress out.
369
00:27:33,963 --> 00:27:36,891
It was one I adored. I'd had it for ages.
With a Victorian laced bodice.
370
00:27:37,976 --> 00:27:41,020
I got it from Laura Ashley
when they first opened.
371
00:27:41,220 --> 00:27:44,149
I was resting.
William was a little late home.
372
00:27:44,315 --> 00:27:47,402
The magnolia was in blossom
outside the open window.
373
00:27:47,602 --> 00:27:50,530
He came upstairs.
He sat on the edge of my bed.
374
00:27:50,822 --> 00:27:53,658
"I've fallen in love
with someone else," he said.
375
00:27:53,858 --> 00:27:56,786
"I want to leave." And he left
that evening, after seventeen years.
376
00:28:05,295 --> 00:28:07,297
I remember wondering,
377
00:28:07,497 --> 00:28:10,425
as I looked at my dress,
what I'd done wrong.
378
00:28:12,594 --> 00:28:15,722
I hope you find
someone else for yourself.
379
00:28:16,056 --> 00:28:19,184
You can't find someone else
when you've got children.
380
00:28:19,309 --> 00:28:20,894
Why not?
381
00:28:21,094 --> 00:28:23,104
A man's scared of taking on
a woman with children.
382
00:28:23,304 --> 00:28:24,898
Besides, it would upset them.
383
00:28:25,098 --> 00:28:28,026
I reckon
Sarah's got an advantage there.
384
00:28:28,068 --> 00:28:31,196
Please don't tell me
what advantage I may or may not have.
385
00:28:36,368 --> 00:28:39,496
Children...they always seem
to be a mistake.
386
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:46,628
When you don't want them,
there they are.
387
00:28:47,462 --> 00:28:50,590
And when you get rid of them,
you want them again.
388
00:28:54,177 --> 00:28:57,305
Children!
389
00:28:58,306 --> 00:29:01,434
Babies!
390
00:29:07,941 --> 00:29:11,069
Course you couldn't say it to Sarah,
391
00:29:11,152 --> 00:29:13,988
but I feel
I would have missed something
392
00:29:14,188 --> 00:29:17,117
- if I hadn't had my little boy.
- Oh, I absolutely agree.
393
00:29:19,661 --> 00:29:22,789
But, I mean, you need a man
and somewhere to live.
394
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:28,044
The sort of life you had.
395
00:29:29,379 --> 00:29:32,507
Do you live in a big house?
396
00:29:35,593 --> 00:29:38,722
Oh, now that's
just the sort of place that I'd like.
397
00:29:39,806 --> 00:29:42,767
Look at the windows.
398
00:29:42,967 --> 00:29:45,895
- Must have a load of rooms?
- Yes, far too many.
399
00:30:03,371 --> 00:30:06,499
Oh, I'd just like to lie there,
400
00:30:07,375 --> 00:30:10,503
and have people pay
to come and look at me.
401
00:30:13,256 --> 00:30:16,384
I wouldn't have to move a muscle.
402
00:30:17,469 --> 00:30:20,597
I'd just lie there in the nude.
403
00:30:21,848 --> 00:30:24,976
And everybody would pay
to come and have a good look.
404
00:30:58,885 --> 00:31:01,471
Mum's not well.
405
00:31:01,671 --> 00:31:04,599
She told me to come.
I've come on me own.
406
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:06,976
What's the matter with her?
407
00:31:07,176 --> 00:31:10,105
Sick... it came up like a fountain.
408
00:31:11,815 --> 00:31:14,943
I had to run and fetch
a great big bowl.
409
00:31:16,194 --> 00:31:19,322
- When was that?
-
410
00:31:20,323 --> 00:31:23,451
Last night,
when we was lying in bed.
411
00:31:26,871 --> 00:31:29,999
It was dark, except for the telly.
412
00:31:31,251 --> 00:31:33,795
And she says,
413
00:31:33,995 --> 00:31:36,923
"We are born to die."
414
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,764
How is she now?
415
00:31:44,964 --> 00:31:47,350
She's sleeping.
416
00:31:47,550 --> 00:31:50,478
She told me to come.
417
00:31:50,895 --> 00:31:53,857
I didn't want to leave her,
but she says,
418
00:31:54,057 --> 00:31:56,985
"I ain't having you
hanging around me no more, Dawn.
419
00:31:57,861 --> 00:32:00,697
"Violet will make you a sandwich."
420
00:32:00,897 --> 00:32:03,825
Why don't you go
in the steam with Sarah?
421
00:32:04,868 --> 00:32:07,746
No. I want to have a good cry.
422
00:32:07,946 --> 00:32:10,874
Well, the steam's
a good place for crying.
423
00:32:11,249 --> 00:32:14,377
- Has she seen the doctor?
- No. Auntie Bernice came over.
424
00:32:19,716 --> 00:32:22,844
She called me an idle slut.
425
00:32:23,595 --> 00:32:26,723
And said Mum
ain't going to get better no more
426
00:32:27,515 --> 00:32:30,643
and she'll have me put away.
427
00:32:31,227 --> 00:32:34,356
She was angry with me 'cause the milk
was still on the step at half past ten.
428
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,488
She doesn't understand, does she?
429
00:33:01,132 --> 00:33:04,260
Thanks.
430
00:33:17,899 --> 00:33:19,943
Here, Nance,
431
00:33:20,143 --> 00:33:23,071
can you see if that's a little spot
I've got on me beautiful bum?
432
00:33:26,199 --> 00:33:29,327
I can't see anything.
433
00:33:31,037 --> 00:33:33,581
Here, look at you in the mirror!
434
00:33:33,781 --> 00:33:36,710
Oh, God, is that face really mine?
435
00:33:37,460 --> 00:33:40,588
You're not a bad-looking woman.
A lot of fellows would fancy you.
436
00:33:42,048 --> 00:33:45,176
Take a good look at yourself.
437
00:33:47,345 --> 00:33:50,473
Another thing, you've got sexy legs!
438
00:33:51,975 --> 00:33:55,103
Mine only look good
when I wear me high heels.
439
00:33:56,646 --> 00:33:59,107
When we first got married,
440
00:33:59,307 --> 00:34:01,860
William made me walk about naked,
441
00:34:02,060 --> 00:34:04,988
said I had the most beautiful
body he'd ever seen.
442
00:34:06,114 --> 00:34:09,075
He refused to let me be shy.
443
00:34:09,275 --> 00:34:12,203
He took hundreds of photographs.
444
00:34:13,747 --> 00:34:16,875
It's funny, really.
445
00:34:18,251 --> 00:34:21,379
Now I look at my face
and I see this intense woman
446
00:34:22,088 --> 00:34:25,216
with blue eyes and unfamiliar face.
447
00:34:26,468 --> 00:34:29,304
Do you know what my mum
said to me the other day?
448
00:34:29,504 --> 00:34:32,348
She said that my arse
was bigger than hers.
449
00:34:32,548 --> 00:34:34,267
Well, I could have died.
450
00:34:34,467 --> 00:34:37,103
"Your arse, Mum,
is twice the size of mine."
451
00:34:37,303 --> 00:34:40,231
"It's all according
to how you look at it," she says.
452
00:34:40,523 --> 00:34:43,651
"I stick out more in front
because I've had so many children."
453
00:34:44,110 --> 00:34:47,238
That really got on my nerves.
454
00:34:48,990 --> 00:34:52,118
Listen, whatever you want, my love,
you go ahead and you get it.
455
00:34:55,288 --> 00:34:58,416
I don't stint meself.
If I don't get what I want, I'm miserable.
456
00:35:00,043 --> 00:35:03,171
- Do you always know what you want?
- No, I don't!
457
00:35:03,755 --> 00:35:06,883
Sometimes I feel
all anyhow and I couldn't care less.
458
00:35:08,843 --> 00:35:11,971
But mostly I know.
459
00:35:27,028 --> 00:35:30,156
Bill? Gas conked out.
460
00:35:31,366 --> 00:35:34,494
I'm not complaining, I'm telling you.
461
00:35:36,121 --> 00:35:38,373
Oh, great!
462
00:35:38,573 --> 00:35:41,501
I'll tell the management
what I think of them in four-letter words.
463
00:35:42,335 --> 00:35:45,004
Celia, keep an eye on things for me.
464
00:35:45,204 --> 00:35:48,133
Sure, OK.
465
00:35:56,391 --> 00:35:58,977
Why are men such shits?
466
00:36:01,554 --> 00:36:04,482
It's weakness. It is, it's weak.
467
00:36:05,650 --> 00:36:08,028
Because it's easier to be a shit.
468
00:36:08,228 --> 00:36:11,156
Easier not to say
what you're going to do,
469
00:36:11,364 --> 00:36:14,492
not to ring when you say you'll ring,
not to arrive when you say you'll arrive.
470
00:36:15,910 --> 00:36:19,039
To tell you bleeding lies every time
they open their bleeding mouths!
471
00:36:19,831 --> 00:36:22,709
Well, we mustn't let them be shits.
472
00:36:22,909 --> 00:36:25,295
It's our fault
we let them get away with it.
473
00:36:25,495 --> 00:36:28,423
- Why do we let them get away with it?
- They think they're important.
474
00:36:29,382 --> 00:36:32,510
Mothers who do
everything for their sons.
475
00:36:34,054 --> 00:36:36,973
Yes, perhaps it is us.
476
00:36:37,173 --> 00:36:40,101
When I had my first baby,
I remember the nurse saying,
477
00:36:40,310 --> 00:36:42,812
"Wake up, dear, you have a son."
478
00:36:43,012 --> 00:36:45,231
I can remember
the thrill at those words.
479
00:36:45,431 --> 00:36:48,026
I kept repeating them
over all that week.
480
00:36:48,226 --> 00:36:51,154
I may be only a woman
but I have given birth to a male.
481
00:36:52,322 --> 00:36:55,450
For me, that was the ultimate success.
482
00:36:55,700 --> 00:36:58,370
You see...
483
00:36:58,570 --> 00:37:01,498
..they are conditioned
from the very start to feel important.
484
00:37:01,998 --> 00:37:05,126
That's been part of the kick
now that I'm working.
485
00:37:05,326 --> 00:37:08,254
'Cause what I do is recognised,
it's considered important.
486
00:37:10,423 --> 00:37:13,551
I know,
I know what it's like to be at home
487
00:37:14,844 --> 00:37:17,972
doing those
undefined things that women do.
488
00:37:20,016 --> 00:37:23,144
The stresses and strains.
Oh, the responsibilities.
489
00:37:25,730 --> 00:37:28,858
Most professional career
women do forget. You probably will.
490
00:37:29,651 --> 00:37:32,779
You will give me a timely kick up
the arse if I show any signs of it!
491
00:37:35,532 --> 00:37:38,660
Why don't we believe
we are as important as men?
492
00:37:38,993 --> 00:37:42,122
I don't mean better
or worse but as important.
493
00:37:45,125 --> 00:37:47,335
It's as if men hadn't realised
494
00:37:47,535 --> 00:37:50,463
how exciting it could be
to know a woman...really well.
495
00:37:58,221 --> 00:38:01,349
Well, that's a thrilling moment
in any woman's life.
496
00:38:03,435 --> 00:38:05,687
You had your first kid.
497
00:38:05,887 --> 00:38:08,815
Oh, for the first time I felt
a real woman.
498
00:38:09,649 --> 00:38:12,777
But most of the time
I was acting...the perfect wife.
499
00:38:15,655 --> 00:38:18,783
Even in bed, it never occurred to me
that I could ask for what I wanted.
500
00:38:20,660 --> 00:38:23,621
What? You never told him
what you really felt?
501
00:38:23,821 --> 00:38:26,750
I tried telling him once, but he said,
502
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,128
"Don't disturb me now,
I've got a heavy workload."
503
00:38:30,587 --> 00:38:33,715
You shouldn't have
let him get away with that.
504
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,675
You should have yelled at him,
505
00:38:35,875 --> 00:38:38,762
"What are you then, a man or a toad?
506
00:38:38,962 --> 00:38:41,890
"You're supposed
to be my husband! I'm your wife!"
507
00:38:42,432 --> 00:38:45,185
That's what I used to say to my old man.
508
00:38:45,385 --> 00:38:47,062
I'd have a row, we'd make it up
509
00:38:47,262 --> 00:38:50,190
and then he'd cuddle me up
and say, "Josie, I love ya."
510
00:38:53,818 --> 00:38:56,529
If he hadn't been done
for the jewellery robbery
511
00:38:56,729 --> 00:38:59,657
and got sent down for fifteen years,
I'd have been all right.
512
00:39:05,705 --> 00:39:08,458
Most men aren't worth bothering about!
513
00:39:08,658 --> 00:39:11,586
What would we have
to get excited over?
514
00:39:11,961 --> 00:39:15,090
- Shall I weigh myself?
- No, don't you bother about nothing.
515
00:39:22,472 --> 00:39:25,600
What's the matter, Vi?
516
00:39:25,892 --> 00:39:29,020
I just...I just can't believe it.
517
00:39:29,896 --> 00:39:33,024
What?
518
00:39:34,943 --> 00:39:38,071
They're closing the place down.
519
00:39:38,446 --> 00:39:41,574
The management just told me they...
520
00:39:42,325 --> 00:39:45,453
They're gonna close. The bastards!
521
00:39:45,537 --> 00:39:48,665
- What's happening?
- They're closing the baths.
522
00:39:53,420 --> 00:39:55,380
The management said,
523
00:39:55,580 --> 00:39:58,508
they're going to build
a...a leisure centre
524
00:40:00,051 --> 00:40:03,138
with a big underground car park.
525
00:40:03,338 --> 00:40:06,266
I told him I had
1 23 customers last week,
526
00:40:08,309 --> 00:40:11,438
but he said that wasn't enough.
The place is obsolete.
527
00:40:13,314 --> 00:40:16,443
Course, they've been running it down
for years on purpose.
528
00:40:18,945 --> 00:40:21,072
They said that the council say
529
00:40:21,272 --> 00:40:24,200
that people want
leisure centres, not baths.
530
00:40:27,328 --> 00:40:29,581
They've done market research.
531
00:40:29,781 --> 00:40:32,459
Well, we're people, aren't we?
532
00:40:32,659 --> 00:40:35,378
Where does he think
I'm going to have my fantasies?
533
00:40:35,578 --> 00:40:37,464
Anyhow, my flat's freezing.
534
00:40:37,664 --> 00:40:40,592
- Mum and me won't be allowed to come?
- No one'll be able to come.
535
00:40:42,677 --> 00:40:45,805
They're going to close.
536
00:40:46,598 --> 00:40:48,600
No!
537
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,728
- Dawn!
-
538
00:40:52,103 --> 00:40:55,231
Dawn, don't!
539
00:40:57,233 --> 00:40:59,819
Dawn, shush.
540
00:41:00,019 --> 00:41:02,947
- We're not going to let them.
-
541
00:41:12,957 --> 00:41:16,086
Sit down!
We're not going to let it happen.
542
00:41:21,966 --> 00:41:24,552
Have a tea, lots of sugar.
543
00:41:24,752 --> 00:41:26,971
They shouldn't make decisions
544
00:41:27,171 --> 00:41:29,432
over and above them
what runs the baths.
545
00:41:29,632 --> 00:41:32,560
Eighteen years I've been here.
546
00:41:33,561 --> 00:41:36,690
I know more about this place,
who comes here and why,
547
00:41:37,107 --> 00:41:39,776
than the whole of
the council put together.
548
00:41:39,976 --> 00:41:42,904
- Well, we'll just have to fight them.
- Right.
549
00:41:52,997 --> 00:41:56,126
Violet?
550
00:42:01,631 --> 00:42:04,759
- Violet?
- Yes, love?
551
00:42:07,971 --> 00:42:11,099
There's a horrible snake-like thing
crawling across the window.
552
00:42:13,435 --> 00:42:16,563
Oh, that's my Russian vine!
553
00:42:16,771 --> 00:42:18,940
Grown like a lunatic, it has!
554
00:42:19,140 --> 00:42:21,860
All the cold in Siberia couldn't kill him.
555
00:42:22,060 --> 00:42:24,988
It writhes when the wind blows.
556
00:42:25,572 --> 00:42:28,700
It's making awful
wriggly shadows all across the glass.
557
00:42:29,451 --> 00:42:32,579
I'm sure it's full of slimy things.
Spiders and slugs and all slimy.
558
00:42:33,705 --> 00:42:36,833
I don't know how you can bear it.
559
00:42:36,958 --> 00:42:40,086
It's making me feel worse.
560
00:42:40,670 --> 00:42:42,672
I wish I'd stayed at home.
561
00:42:42,872 --> 00:42:45,800
What? ln this weather? You're mad.
You'd have froze to death.
562
00:42:49,054 --> 00:42:52,182
You close your eyes for a little bit
and I'll make you a nice cup of tea.
563
00:42:59,105 --> 00:43:02,233
Look what he done!
564
00:43:02,776 --> 00:43:04,903
Oh, my God. What happened?
565
00:43:05,103 --> 00:43:08,031
He done that last night.
He'd been drinking.
566
00:43:08,990 --> 00:43:11,534
He put his hands around my throat.
567
00:43:11,734 --> 00:43:14,662
"I'm going to kill you!" he says.
568
00:43:14,788 --> 00:43:17,916
It frightened me to death,
but I didn't let him see it.
569
00:43:18,416 --> 00:43:20,502
"You're touched," I says.
570
00:43:20,702 --> 00:43:23,630
Then he takes off all my clothes,
he stays fully dressed,
571
00:43:24,047 --> 00:43:27,175
makes me stand naked
in the front room.
572
00:43:27,926 --> 00:43:30,887
Then he puts his hands
round my neck again.
573
00:43:31,087 --> 00:43:33,390
"I'm going to kill you.
574
00:43:33,590 --> 00:43:36,518
"I'm going to gas you,"
he says in a horrible, deep voice.
575
00:43:39,562 --> 00:43:42,232
"Don't be silly," I says.
576
00:43:42,432 --> 00:43:45,360
"I'm not going to have
nothing to do with you."
577
00:43:45,652 --> 00:43:48,571
"Get on the bed," he says.
578
00:43:48,771 --> 00:43:50,198
"No," I says.
579
00:43:50,398 --> 00:43:53,076
"I'm not going to have
nothing to do with you."
580
00:43:53,276 --> 00:43:55,912
So, wallop! He hits me.
581
00:43:56,112 --> 00:43:57,747
"Now you've got your job,
582
00:43:57,947 --> 00:44:00,875
"you think you're the only woman
in the world, huh?"
583
00:44:03,878 --> 00:44:07,006
How come I always get hit
on the left side?
584
00:44:08,174 --> 00:44:10,885
What on earth made you take him back?
585
00:44:11,085 --> 00:44:14,013
"Don't throw dirty water away
till you get clean," me mum always said.
586
00:44:17,017 --> 00:44:19,853
Oh, Josie!
587
00:44:20,053 --> 00:44:22,981
I get so fed up with poverty!
588
00:44:23,314 --> 00:44:25,859
Do you know how long I worked till?
589
00:44:26,059 --> 00:44:28,987
From Saturday night
I worked till 7 o'clock Sunday morning.
590
00:44:29,362 --> 00:44:32,490
- I earned sixty pounds.
- Oh, that's wonderful.
591
00:44:32,615 --> 00:44:35,744
Wonderful! It's hard work!
Still I earned me rent money.
592
00:44:35,952 --> 00:44:39,080
Well, Sunday afternoon
I was so tired, he turns up.
593
00:44:40,498 --> 00:44:42,834
"You look disgusting," he says.
594
00:44:43,034 --> 00:44:45,628
I was choked.
I was so choked, I thought,
595
00:44:45,828 --> 00:44:48,757
"Is it really worth it? My struggle
to stand on my two feet?"
596
00:44:50,091 --> 00:44:53,219
So, I took him back. Then we has it.
597
00:44:54,012 --> 00:44:57,140
But it don't do me no good
so after he's gone I got me vibro out.
598
00:44:58,725 --> 00:45:00,894
I had to.
599
00:45:01,094 --> 00:45:03,813
I had so much tension in me,
600
00:45:04,013 --> 00:45:06,941
it was like a screw
going round the back of my neck.
601
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,448
You must borrow my vibro, my love.
602
00:45:14,616 --> 00:45:17,744
I had it going this morning
from five past eight till five to nine.
603
00:45:20,705 --> 00:45:23,833
I had this beautiful fantasy...
604
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,048
..fucking meself.
605
00:45:30,465 --> 00:45:33,426
They're like stallions
when they are young.
606
00:45:33,626 --> 00:45:36,554
It's fantastic to have it off with
a young fellow if you're hot-blooded.
607
00:45:37,722 --> 00:45:40,850
If you fancy him, have him!
Don't feel guilt about it.
608
00:45:43,478 --> 00:45:46,022
You've got to have a fling sometimes.
609
00:45:46,222 --> 00:45:49,150
Otherwise you just get old and boring.
610
00:45:49,359 --> 00:45:52,487
I don't know how you do it, Josie!
611
00:45:54,531 --> 00:45:56,116
Mum?
612
00:45:56,316 --> 00:45:59,244
Are you awake?
613
00:46:00,912 --> 00:46:04,040
I just came to see how you are.
614
00:46:05,417 --> 00:46:08,545
I hope Nancy
give your hair a good scrub.
615
00:46:09,587 --> 00:46:12,716
Yeah.
616
00:46:13,341 --> 00:46:16,261
You feeling better, Mum?
617
00:46:16,461 --> 00:46:19,389
Well, I've got to feel better, haven't I?
618
00:46:20,056 --> 00:46:23,184
I can't spend the rest of my life
laying on this bed.
619
00:46:27,188 --> 00:46:30,316
- What would you do on men's day?
- You shut up.
620
00:46:32,527 --> 00:46:35,655
Go and take your tablet.
621
00:46:37,532 --> 00:46:40,660
Who's going to look after you if I go?
622
00:46:44,706 --> 00:46:47,834
Oh, Mum...
623
00:46:48,418 --> 00:46:51,546
- I'll look after you.
624
00:46:52,839 --> 00:46:55,967
I'll give you...baked beans on toast.
625
00:46:57,510 --> 00:47:00,638
Lots of baked beans on toast.
626
00:47:01,139 --> 00:47:04,267
And toast...all running with butter.
627
00:47:07,145 --> 00:47:10,273
And a cherry brandy.
628
00:47:11,608 --> 00:47:13,860
We was having it,
629
00:47:14,060 --> 00:47:16,988
and I was really getting into it
enjoying it, when he comes.
630
00:47:18,031 --> 00:47:20,992
"Hold up," I says, "What about me?"
631
00:47:21,192 --> 00:47:24,120
Well, after that, I made him
plates me for an hour till I came.
632
00:47:25,830 --> 00:47:28,958
Every time he lifts his head,
I push it back down again.
633
00:47:29,709 --> 00:47:32,629
I wouldn't even let him up to breathe.
634
00:47:32,829 --> 00:47:35,757
Oh, I could feel it from the bottom
of my toes to the top of my skull.
635
00:47:38,134 --> 00:47:41,262
Ooh. Haven't come like that for months.
Did me the world of good.
636
00:47:42,347 --> 00:47:45,475
I've got to go and do some work.
I don't think it'll be much help.
637
00:47:46,893 --> 00:47:50,021
Sarah wants me to make some
placards to save our baths.
638
00:47:50,146 --> 00:47:53,274
- Oh, SOB.
- She wants me to use bright colours.
639
00:47:53,358 --> 00:47:55,777
She remembers
the things I did at school.
640
00:47:55,977 --> 00:47:58,196
I hated art, sitting there, drawing boxes.
641
00:47:58,396 --> 00:48:01,324
Why don't you give me a hand?
Sarah said you'd be good at slogans.
642
00:48:02,242 --> 00:48:04,661
Oh, no, I hate responsibility.
643
00:48:04,861 --> 00:48:07,789
If I can find someone to keep me,
why should I go to work?
644
00:48:08,998 --> 00:48:12,127
Oh, I'm really relaxed now.
645
00:48:14,170 --> 00:48:17,298
Oh, I'm lying nude by a river
646
00:48:17,674 --> 00:48:20,802
and a man in a white suit
who I've never seen before
647
00:48:21,469 --> 00:48:24,597
comes and kneels at my feet
and starts to kiss me.
648
00:48:27,726 --> 00:48:30,854
He kisses me all the way up my body.
649
00:48:39,029 --> 00:48:42,157
I give up.
650
00:48:53,877 --> 00:48:56,880
- Getting on all right, Nancy?
- Hmm, all right.
651
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,008
How about you? Things are going to be
a bit miserable for you, aren't they?
652
00:49:01,634 --> 00:49:04,763
I mustn't grumble. I'll get to see
me grandchildren more often.
653
00:49:06,264 --> 00:49:09,392
- I'm not gonna look for another job.
- Maybe Sarah's right.
654
00:49:09,684 --> 00:49:11,394
Maybe we can save the baths.
655
00:49:11,594 --> 00:49:14,522
Well, we can always try,
that's the motto.
656
00:49:15,523 --> 00:49:17,984
Have I got some news!
657
00:49:18,184 --> 00:49:20,612
But I'll tell everybody
at the meeting later.
658
00:49:23,231 --> 00:49:26,159
- Do you think it's all right?
- It's excellent.
659
00:49:26,910 --> 00:49:30,038
- I think you'll need a stencil.
- Yes, that will be a good idea.
660
00:49:31,164 --> 00:49:34,292
I saw William yesterday
for the first time since he left.
661
00:49:35,251 --> 00:49:38,380
I said to him, " I was so lonely
during our marriage,"
662
00:49:38,546 --> 00:49:41,549
and he said, "So was I. So lonely."
663
00:49:45,595 --> 00:49:48,723
Well...I was lonely too
when I was with David.
664
00:49:51,309 --> 00:49:54,437
There were always millions of people
around all the time.
665
00:49:55,563 --> 00:49:58,024
And that can get very lonely.
666
00:49:58,224 --> 00:50:01,152
All the comings and goings
and to-ings and fro-ings
667
00:50:01,695 --> 00:50:04,322
in different weathers, different seasons,
668
00:50:04,522 --> 00:50:07,450
not to mention
the time always being wrong.
669
00:50:09,285 --> 00:50:12,414
You felt as though
your house was a prison,
670
00:50:12,455 --> 00:50:15,583
believe you me, my life was.
671
00:50:16,292 --> 00:50:18,962
You get bundled into a huge,
heavy machine
672
00:50:19,162 --> 00:50:21,923
and it lumbers into the air.
You can't get off.
673
00:50:22,123 --> 00:50:25,051
You've got to go wherever it is going.
674
00:50:26,594 --> 00:50:29,723
When you get there, it's hotel rooms,
hotel suites, room service,
675
00:50:30,974 --> 00:50:34,102
Then you're put into another car
and taken back to the airport.
676
00:50:34,561 --> 00:50:37,689
And when you arrive,
you get taken to another hotel.
677
00:50:39,149 --> 00:50:42,277
It sounded so glamorous when
I saw you in those glossy magazines.
678
00:50:45,864 --> 00:50:47,824
He started screwing other girls
679
00:50:48,024 --> 00:50:50,618
the first time
I crossed the Atlantic with him.
680
00:50:50,818 --> 00:50:53,747
And I was left all alone in a hotel suite
681
00:50:54,873 --> 00:50:57,459
with a phone that never rang.
682
00:50:57,659 --> 00:50:59,836
Oh, except of course room service
683
00:51:00,036 --> 00:51:02,964
to enquire whether I'd like Pepsi
rather than Coke or vice versa.
684
00:51:05,967 --> 00:51:09,095
Do you know,
I was abandoned in Caracas once
685
00:51:10,221 --> 00:51:13,308
for a whole week with no credit cards,
686
00:51:13,508 --> 00:51:16,436
no return ticket, no money, no nothing.
687
00:51:17,854 --> 00:51:20,982
I couldn't even step out of the hotel.
688
00:51:21,182 --> 00:51:23,276
When I plucked up enough courage
689
00:51:23,476 --> 00:51:25,820
to telephone David's agents
in New York,
690
00:51:26,020 --> 00:51:28,948
they said, " Don't be so silly, Sarah,
David's got to be alone sometimes."
691
00:51:32,577 --> 00:51:35,705
Did he forget you or what?
692
00:51:36,539 --> 00:51:39,459
I don't know. I suppose so.
693
00:51:39,659 --> 00:51:42,587
I don't think I made much impression
upon his memory at that time.
694
00:51:44,214 --> 00:51:46,424
Funny...
695
00:51:46,624 --> 00:51:49,552
you can do up the same button
day after day
696
00:51:50,053 --> 00:51:53,181
but it doesn't mean you'd recognise it
if it fell off on the carpet.
697
00:51:55,225 --> 00:51:58,353
Oh, Sarah!
698
00:51:59,771 --> 00:52:02,899
He cried like a baby when I said
I couldn't bear it any longer.
699
00:52:03,775 --> 00:52:06,903
What do they know?
700
00:52:07,112 --> 00:52:09,698
They know nothing.
701
00:52:09,898 --> 00:52:12,826
They never even felt pain.
702
00:52:13,618 --> 00:52:16,746
Men aren't capable
of feeling pain like women.
703
00:52:23,586 --> 00:52:26,715
Josie, come on!
Coming!
704
00:52:27,632 --> 00:52:30,760
- Violet.
- Angela.
705
00:52:32,262 --> 00:52:35,390
My bag...
Oh, thanks, Dawn.
706
00:52:36,516 --> 00:52:39,644
You're breaking
into my fantasies, Sarah.
707
00:52:41,771 --> 00:52:44,899
Look at the hairs on me legs!
708
00:52:45,191 --> 00:52:48,319
The last time I shaved them,
I used Jerry's razor. He went mad.
709
00:52:50,530 --> 00:52:53,658
He said it was disgusting
and threw it away.
710
00:52:53,908 --> 00:52:56,578
My husband always lets me use his.
711
00:52:56,778 --> 00:52:59,706
"Well, why have two
when one will do?" he says.
712
00:52:59,789 --> 00:53:02,917
He's gonna have to do up my hallway.
I'm gonna have it done in new wood.
713
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,171
- Have you told him yet?
- Yeah.
714
00:53:06,371 --> 00:53:08,673
"Oh, no," he says, "It'll look too
small."
715
00:53:08,873 --> 00:53:11,760
I says, "I don't care
if it looks like a rabbit hutch.
716
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,804
"I can't afford a damp course
and I'm not gonna have
717
00:53:15,004 --> 00:53:17,807
"mould growing in my hall."
718
00:53:18,007 --> 00:53:20,935
Now, if I can keep on doing
three nights at the topless,
719
00:53:24,606 --> 00:53:27,734
I can pay for my license
and the insurance on me car.
720
00:53:29,361 --> 00:53:32,030
Then I am in the clear.
721
00:53:32,230 --> 00:53:35,116
Oh, I get so fed up with poverty!
722
00:53:35,316 --> 00:53:38,244
Life's difficult for everyone at times.
723
00:53:39,537 --> 00:53:42,665
Well, my life is just survival.
724
00:53:44,918 --> 00:53:48,046
I had to wank the fellow off
to get the club job in the first place.
725
00:53:49,506 --> 00:53:52,634
You didn't have to Josie, you chose to.
726
00:53:53,426 --> 00:53:56,262
You sound just like my teacher.
727
00:53:56,462 --> 00:53:58,640
She hit me once with a ruler.
728
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,142
I ran home and told me mum.
729
00:54:01,342 --> 00:54:04,270
And me mum comes up to the school,
bless her, and slaps the teacher.
730
00:54:05,397 --> 00:54:08,525
I got chucked out. I'd have to have left
the next month, anyway, I was pregnant.
731
00:54:10,235 --> 00:54:13,154
Well, Sarah's right, Josie.
732
00:54:13,354 --> 00:54:16,282
You didn't have to, but you chose to.
733
00:54:18,368 --> 00:54:21,496
Now,
how am I gonna pay my bills?
734
00:54:25,667 --> 00:54:28,795
It's all very well for women like you!
735
00:54:29,671 --> 00:54:32,132
My dear, Josie!
736
00:54:32,332 --> 00:54:35,260
At fifteen I was doing early
morning cleaning with me mum.
737
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,513
At sixteen I was having a baby!
738
00:54:38,713 --> 00:54:41,266
You were still at school!
739
00:54:41,466 --> 00:54:43,393
What do you know about it, anyway?
740
00:54:43,593 --> 00:54:45,770
I know you have to pay for self-respect.
741
00:54:45,970 --> 00:54:47,772
I'm going to tell you something.
742
00:54:47,972 --> 00:54:50,900
I don't want to be like you!
743
00:54:51,609 --> 00:54:54,738
It's boring! It's every day!
744
00:54:55,572 --> 00:54:58,700
- Boring! Boring! Boring!
- Josie!
745
00:54:59,909 --> 00:55:03,038
Do you know why us working-class girls
have a little bit on the side?
746
00:55:04,289 --> 00:55:07,417
Why we spend money on clothes,
make-up and shoes,
747
00:55:07,792 --> 00:55:10,920
when we don't, as you say,
"Strictly need them?"
748
00:55:11,921 --> 00:55:15,050
Because we've been brought up
to do the shit work!
749
00:55:16,384 --> 00:55:19,512
And we can't expect to do anything
but the shit work
750
00:55:21,514 --> 00:55:24,642
unless we find a man
with a bit of money
751
00:55:26,519 --> 00:55:29,647
and we hang on to him!
752
00:55:36,696 --> 00:55:39,824
Anyway, who's to say
that your life's any better than mine?
753
00:55:41,576 --> 00:55:44,704
I've been to South Africa,
to Barbados, Tenerife.
754
00:55:46,414 --> 00:55:49,542
I've laid beside more pools
than you've had hot dinners!
755
00:55:50,585 --> 00:55:53,713
- On stolen money!
- So what?
756
00:55:54,964 --> 00:55:58,093
I want beautiful clothes,
beautiful travelling cars.
757
00:55:59,803 --> 00:56:02,931
At least, I've had them,
which is more than I can say for you.
758
00:56:05,475 --> 00:56:08,603
You can keep your drab, dreary life
759
00:56:08,803 --> 00:56:11,189
and your good name,
if that's what you want.
760
00:56:11,389 --> 00:56:14,317
Women should be
beautiful creatures of pleasure.
761
00:56:20,865 --> 00:56:23,326
Do you know what it feels like
762
00:56:23,526 --> 00:56:26,454
to go into a library
when you don't know your way around
763
00:56:26,955 --> 00:56:30,083
and you just get looked down on
because of your accent?
764
00:56:31,543 --> 00:56:34,671
I've never
looked down on you.
765
00:56:34,879 --> 00:56:38,007
- That's simply not fair!
- ln a way you do!
766
00:56:39,509 --> 00:56:42,637
We're not friends! I'm a part of the show
that you come to watch.
767
00:56:43,888 --> 00:56:45,932
Josie, for heaven's sake, cool it.
768
00:56:46,132 --> 00:56:49,060
I'm sorry if I sounded like your teacher
and I'm very, very sorry indeed, but...
769
00:56:50,854 --> 00:56:53,982
Oh, stop being so kind
and enlightened and bloody superior!
770
00:56:57,027 --> 00:57:00,155
- Josie!
771
00:57:00,488 --> 00:57:03,283
I'd like to have a good job,
772
00:57:03,483 --> 00:57:06,411
I'd like to be enlightened.
773
00:57:07,537 --> 00:57:10,665
You'll never get that horrible feeling
of being turned down
774
00:57:10,957 --> 00:57:14,085
for job after job because you haven't
got the right qualifications,
775
00:57:15,754 --> 00:57:18,882
and you can't speak right
and you can't spell!
776
00:57:20,133 --> 00:57:23,261
And you know that in the end they're not
even going to offer you the cleaning!
777
00:57:24,804 --> 00:57:27,932
You wouldn't ask me on
to do your cleaning, would you, Nancy?
778
00:57:29,642 --> 00:57:32,771
Oh, no, you've got enough money
to pay some poor cow
779
00:57:33,021 --> 00:57:36,149
to clean up after you.
780
00:57:37,275 --> 00:57:40,403
How do you pay for your self respect?
781
00:57:42,489 --> 00:57:45,617
How much does your bloody husband
pay you so he can stay away?
782
00:57:47,077 --> 00:57:50,205
- Oh, stop it!
- Nancy.
783
00:57:51,831 --> 00:57:54,959
Why should I stop?
784
00:57:56,461 --> 00:57:59,589
- Oh, Josie...
- Who do you think you are?
785
00:57:59,881 --> 00:58:03,009
You're just an ordinary woman
with a bit of money
786
00:58:03,468 --> 00:58:06,179
who's been deserted by her old man.
787
00:58:06,379 --> 00:58:08,473
I'm not surprised he left you.
788
00:58:08,673 --> 00:58:11,601
- He wanted loving, not organising.
- Bloody hell, Josie!
789
00:58:12,060 --> 00:58:15,063
You know very well Nancy's had
a shitty time lately.
790
00:58:15,263 --> 00:58:17,982
Why can't we stop all this,
and have our meeting?
791
00:58:18,182 --> 00:58:20,819
I haven't finished yet.
792
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:23,947
I want to tell you about
how I got the club job.
793
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,409
I sat there and took my top off,
and he touched my tits.
794
00:58:31,413 --> 00:58:33,832
That poxy club
795
00:58:34,032 --> 00:58:36,960
and a fellow I didn't even fancy,
796
00:58:37,335 --> 00:58:40,463
with his hands right up my skirt.
797
00:58:41,798 --> 00:58:44,926
Then he takes off
his trousers and his socks
798
00:58:46,052 --> 00:58:49,180
and he spreads one of them
roller towels on the floor
799
00:58:50,348 --> 00:58:53,476
and he expects me to lie down on it.
800
00:58:53,852 --> 00:58:56,980
So I screwed up me eyes tightly
801
00:58:57,605 --> 00:59:00,734
and I said, " Come on, Josie...
802
00:59:02,444 --> 00:59:05,572
.."you need the money."
803
00:59:06,322 --> 00:59:09,451
You know, it's about time you got
yourself organised, Josie
804
00:59:11,161 --> 00:59:13,747
and started earning some real money.
805
00:59:13,947 --> 00:59:16,875
Real money?
What's real money to you?
806
00:59:18,334 --> 00:59:21,463
Come on, how much do you earn?
It's a lot, isn't it?
807
00:59:21,838 --> 00:59:24,591
- Tell me, how much?
- I get enough.
808
00:59:24,791 --> 00:59:27,719
- It's private.
- It's always enough, when it's private.
809
00:59:28,219 --> 00:59:31,222
My financial situation is so simple,
810
00:59:31,422 --> 00:59:34,351
you could write it
on the back of a bus ticket!
811
00:59:34,476 --> 00:59:37,604
When I was married,
I was a skiv, a drudge.
812
00:59:37,687 --> 00:59:40,648
I still would be if I was with him now.
813
00:59:40,848 --> 00:59:43,610
It's the same thing, day in and day out.
814
00:59:43,810 --> 00:59:46,738
Do this, do that, that's security.
815
00:59:47,238 --> 00:59:49,699
Well, I was wildly in love.
816
00:59:49,899 --> 00:59:52,827
I wanted total commitment.
I didn't want security.
817
00:59:53,203 --> 00:59:55,497
But then I got used to certain things.
818
00:59:55,697 --> 00:59:58,625
Well, I'd rather be living with a fellow.
819
01:00:00,877 --> 01:00:04,005
I may be broke,
but I can do whatever I feel like doing.
820
01:00:06,758 --> 01:00:09,886
If I want to stay in bed
in the morning I stay there.
821
01:00:10,261 --> 01:00:13,390
If I want to get drunk, I get drunk,
and if I want to fuck, I fuck!
822
01:00:15,767 --> 01:00:18,728
And sometimes you fuck
when you don't want to fuck.
823
01:00:18,928 --> 01:00:21,856
Well, what about you?
You, you don't dare do what you want!
824
01:00:35,370 --> 01:00:38,498
I lost me temper.
825
01:00:40,041 --> 01:00:43,169
I get so angry all the time.
826
01:00:48,049 --> 01:00:50,427
My husband never encouraged me,
827
01:00:50,627 --> 01:00:53,555
never encouraged me to do anything,
not even to make friends.
828
01:00:53,972 --> 01:00:56,224
The only people who came to our house
829
01:00:56,424 --> 01:00:59,352
were other successful
businessmen and their wives. I...
830
01:01:01,021 --> 01:01:04,149
ln the end, everything of me got eroded.
831
01:01:06,234 --> 01:01:09,362
Actually, I admire you.
I'd like to be like you.
832
01:01:10,739 --> 01:01:13,867
It's true, I wouldn't have asked you
to a dinner party,
833
01:01:14,034 --> 01:01:16,494
not when William was around.
834
01:01:16,694 --> 01:01:19,372
I couldn't even have my own friends.
835
01:01:19,572 --> 01:01:22,500
She'd like to be like me?
836
01:01:26,004 --> 01:01:29,132
Yes, but I couldn't be.
I couldn't be like Sarah either.
837
01:01:29,215 --> 01:01:32,344
I know I am terribly limited.
838
01:01:36,639 --> 01:01:38,892
Perhaps I stayed with William
839
01:01:39,092 --> 01:01:42,020
because I had a lovely house,
a lovely garden.
840
01:01:42,854 --> 01:01:45,982
And I could see no way
that I could maintain myself
841
01:01:46,232 --> 01:01:49,361
and the children in the manner
to which we were accustomed.
842
01:01:50,028 --> 01:01:52,280
Blimey!
843
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,408
You hypocrite! You are like me.
844
01:01:57,702 --> 01:02:00,830
No.
845
01:02:00,914 --> 01:02:04,042
No, Nancy wants to change.
846
01:02:05,043 --> 01:02:07,337
You know enough
about me bleeding life.
847
01:02:07,537 --> 01:02:09,381
What can I do?
848
01:02:09,581 --> 01:02:12,509
You're right. I'm sorry.
It would be terribly hard.
849
01:02:13,259 --> 01:02:16,388
Perhaps I would like to change...
850
01:02:17,681 --> 01:02:20,809
..but I can't perceive
what I could change into.
851
01:02:23,186 --> 01:02:25,730
A home, children.
852
01:02:25,930 --> 01:02:28,858
I'm a one-man woman.
853
01:02:31,444 --> 01:02:34,572
And I'm not, is that what you mean?
854
01:02:34,823 --> 01:02:37,951
- I'm a promiscuous woman.
- No, of course not.
855
01:02:43,665 --> 01:02:46,793
Well, if I have been promiscuous
856
01:02:47,043 --> 01:02:50,171
it's because I've been looking...
857
01:02:50,839 --> 01:02:53,967
..searching, you know,
trying to find my mate.
858
01:02:55,176 --> 01:02:58,304
Somebody who wanted what I wanted.
859
01:03:09,941 --> 01:03:13,069
- Children?
-
860
01:03:19,284 --> 01:03:22,412
And now it's...it...it's...
a pa-panic that comes over me.
861
01:03:26,950 --> 01:03:29,836
After all that lovely, irresponsible life.
862
01:03:30,036 --> 01:03:32,964
Lots of sex, travel, experience.
863
01:03:33,465 --> 01:03:36,593
A whole load
of meaningful relationships...
864
01:03:38,636 --> 01:03:41,765
..a career which I want.
865
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,769
And, and, and then,
you see, I just panic.
866
01:03:50,807 --> 01:03:53,735
I haven't had a child,
and time is running short.
867
01:03:57,405 --> 01:04:00,158
And who do I have a child with?
868
01:04:00,358 --> 01:04:01,910
Hmm?
869
01:04:02,110 --> 01:04:05,038
Where do I find
the father for this child?
870
01:04:07,082 --> 01:04:09,667
Oh, I've thought and thought
871
01:04:09,867 --> 01:04:12,796
about...getting pregnant,
not telling the man.
872
01:04:15,632 --> 01:04:18,760
Playing the heroic, single parent
and all that.
873
01:04:22,514 --> 01:04:25,642
How can you do that to a child?
874
01:04:27,310 --> 01:04:30,438
How can you do that to a man?
875
01:04:34,401 --> 01:04:37,529
Even if I could have my career
and bring up the children...perfectly...
876
01:04:50,667 --> 01:04:52,335
Sorry, Nan.
877
01:04:56,172 --> 01:04:59,300
That's what my dreams are about.
878
01:05:07,892 --> 01:05:10,228
Where is everybody?
879
01:05:10,428 --> 01:05:13,356
What about our meeting?
880
01:05:16,568 --> 01:05:19,696
- What on earth's been going on?
- I'll tell you what's been going on.
881
01:05:20,572 --> 01:05:23,700
Fighting and showing off.
882
01:05:25,243 --> 01:05:27,996
Mrs Meadow, you'll join
the meeting, won't you?
883
01:05:28,196 --> 01:05:30,957
Auntie Bernice wouldn't like it at all.
884
01:05:31,157 --> 01:05:33,460
"Drawing attention
to yourself," she'd say.
885
01:05:33,660 --> 01:05:35,170
Let's get you another chair.
886
01:05:35,370 --> 01:05:37,464
- Can I be on the committee?
- Yeah.
887
01:05:37,664 --> 01:05:40,592
You sit at the head of the table
and be on the committee.
888
01:05:49,517 --> 01:05:52,645
Now, I thought the first thing to do
was to get some expert advice.
889
01:05:53,855 --> 01:05:56,983
- You did it yourself
- No. I had to go to New York.
890
01:05:57,025 --> 01:05:59,444
I got an assistant to do it for me.
891
01:05:59,644 --> 01:06:02,280
As treasurer
of the Save the Baths committee,
892
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,075
- I should like a note of the cost.
- The cost?
893
01:06:05,275 --> 01:06:08,203
How much was the advice?
The cost, we need to know.
894
01:06:08,286 --> 01:06:11,414
The fee? Oh, the fee will be
200 pounds per hour.
895
01:06:11,581 --> 01:06:14,709
Oh! I hope it wasn't more
than 1 5 minutes.
896
01:06:14,834 --> 01:06:17,921
- How many hours?
- One hour, forty-five minutes.
897
01:06:18,121 --> 01:06:21,049
I should like to contribute
to half the fee.
898
01:06:22,258 --> 01:06:25,387
- I accept.
- Blow me! I'm wasting me life!
899
01:06:27,180 --> 01:06:30,308
- It's all a fantasy!
- Perhaps not.
900
01:06:30,850 --> 01:06:33,436
We have a very good chance.
901
01:06:33,636 --> 01:06:35,939
We must present our case
902
01:06:36,139 --> 01:06:39,067
at the council meeting
at the town hall on Friday 1 3th.
903
01:06:40,985 --> 01:06:44,114
We need a minimum
of one hundred signatures
904
01:06:44,447 --> 01:06:47,575
petitioning for an enquiry
to be held to examine the ruling.
905
01:06:49,828 --> 01:06:52,956
Dawn's father wouldn't hold
with that kind of thing at all.
906
01:06:53,331 --> 01:06:56,459
Oh, that's not the point.
You want the baths, don't you?
907
01:06:56,751 --> 01:06:58,336
Yes, Mum.
908
01:06:58,536 --> 01:07:01,339
Yes.
909
01:07:01,539 --> 01:07:04,467
But I know I can't sign nothing.
910
01:07:05,719 --> 01:07:08,847
You never know
what might happen if you sign.
911
01:07:09,973 --> 01:07:12,183
Something I do know.
912
01:07:12,383 --> 01:07:15,311
I can get lots of signatures
of people who live round here.
913
01:07:16,146 --> 01:07:18,314
I mean, I'd sign.
914
01:07:18,514 --> 01:07:19,858
We need a voice.
915
01:07:20,058 --> 01:07:22,986
- A voice?
- Yes. Someone to present our case.
916
01:07:23,528 --> 01:07:26,072
Well, thank goodness for you, Sarah.
917
01:07:26,272 --> 01:07:27,657
I could do it.
918
01:07:27,857 --> 01:07:30,618
I don't think
I'm the right man for the job.
919
01:07:30,818 --> 01:07:33,747
I think we need somebody local.
920
01:07:34,748 --> 01:07:37,876
Josie, Josie. Josie, you can
make our speech at the town hall.
921
01:07:38,334 --> 01:07:41,463
You say things marvellously.
922
01:07:42,088 --> 01:07:45,216
Oh, I've never spoken
in front of an audience.
923
01:07:45,416 --> 01:07:48,345
- You do it all the time, love!
-
924
01:08:07,989 --> 01:08:10,992
- Hi, everybody!
- Hi.
925
01:08:11,192 --> 01:08:14,120
The posters look great!
926
01:08:15,455 --> 01:08:18,583
Well done! Oh, I like the balloons.
927
01:08:23,296 --> 01:08:26,424
You can save me a T-shirt.
928
01:08:26,675 --> 01:08:29,803
There! A couple of them.
929
01:08:31,554 --> 01:08:34,683
- Can I give you a hand, Vi?
- It's done, except for the water.
930
01:08:35,392 --> 01:08:37,894
Sarah wants to talk to you
in the hot room.
931
01:08:38,094 --> 01:08:39,771
No, she's in the exercise room.
932
01:08:39,971 --> 01:08:42,899
Mrs Meadow,
what do you think about our placards
933
01:08:43,099 --> 01:08:46,027
and our slogans and our T-shirts
and everything?
934
01:08:48,571 --> 01:08:51,700
I don't hold with slogans.
935
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,328
- Slogans is nasty!
- I think they're great.
936
01:08:56,329 --> 01:08:59,457
I think it's all lovely.
937
01:09:00,542 --> 01:09:03,211
Dawn, you shouldn't be wearing
that T-shirt.
938
01:09:03,411 --> 01:09:05,964
Have you got your
woollen vest on underneath?
939
01:09:06,164 --> 01:09:08,466
Oh, Mum!
940
01:09:08,666 --> 01:09:10,719
Have a balloon.
941
01:09:15,223 --> 01:09:18,351
I thought of putting my house
up for sale. What do you think of that?
942
01:09:19,310 --> 01:09:21,187
I think that's a terrific idea.
943
01:09:21,387 --> 01:09:23,648
You've got to go
for what you want, Nance.
944
01:09:23,848 --> 01:09:26,526
Actually, I'm terribly keyed-up
about the meeting.
945
01:09:26,726 --> 01:09:29,654
- Do you think Josie'll be all right?
- As a matter of fact, I do.
946
01:09:33,241 --> 01:09:36,369
The question is whether they'll just
bulldoze us, anyway.
947
01:09:36,619 --> 01:09:39,748
Oh, they can't do that.
We've got to save our baths.
948
01:09:44,502 --> 01:09:47,630
After having missed out
on so much for so long
949
01:09:48,131 --> 01:09:51,259
and then able to come here
with company and contact,
950
01:09:52,427 --> 01:09:55,555
the joy of being naked
in a warm place together.
951
01:09:55,972 --> 01:09:58,350
Oh, we've got to win.
952
01:09:58,550 --> 01:10:01,478
Nance, you know,
you're such a romantic!
953
01:10:02,604 --> 01:10:04,439
But you're right.
954
01:10:04,639 --> 01:10:07,567
You're not going to that meeting.
955
01:10:10,111 --> 01:10:13,239
Daddy wouldn't like that.
956
01:10:14,491 --> 01:10:17,619
If Daddy was here,
we wouldn't have that hole in the roof.
957
01:10:19,537 --> 01:10:22,248
Perhaps it'll go away.
958
01:10:22,448 --> 01:10:24,918
Remember, Mum,
we had that leak four years ago
959
01:10:25,118 --> 01:10:28,046
and that went away on its own.
960
01:10:28,129 --> 01:10:31,007
Yeah.
961
01:10:31,207 --> 01:10:34,135
It'll probably clear up.
962
01:10:34,511 --> 01:10:37,639
Roofs usually do.
963
01:10:38,139 --> 01:10:41,267
Oh, it is funny, but I do feel
as if things are clearing.
964
01:10:44,062 --> 01:10:47,190
I had a dream last night
that made me feel alive.
965
01:10:47,982 --> 01:10:50,485
You know how
Josie's always talking about
966
01:10:50,685 --> 01:10:53,613
sexual desire
and sexual experience and melting,
967
01:10:54,114 --> 01:10:57,242
and I feel so pinched
and cold and jealous,
968
01:10:58,326 --> 01:11:01,454
I've put myself out into the cold
like an Eskimo grandmother.
969
01:11:02,497 --> 01:11:05,625
Anyway in this dream,
I was going to pick up some things
970
01:11:06,084 --> 01:11:09,212
from some friends of mine,
people I've known for years,
971
01:11:09,295 --> 01:11:12,340
and I knocked at the door,
but there was no one in.
972
01:11:12,540 --> 01:11:15,427
I pushed the door
and I went in and called.
973
01:11:15,627 --> 01:11:17,137
The room seemed to be empty.
974
01:11:17,337 --> 01:11:19,514
And then,
as I was taking off my raincoat
975
01:11:19,714 --> 01:11:22,642
I realised that this friend, this man
was standing in the shadows
976
01:11:23,268 --> 01:11:25,103
on the other side of the room.
977
01:11:25,303 --> 01:11:28,231
I was a bit stopped in my tracks
because he was looking at me,
978
01:11:29,357 --> 01:11:32,485
you know, with such intensity.
979
01:11:32,777 --> 01:11:35,905
- Well, ooh, sex...
-
980
01:11:37,782 --> 01:11:40,910
It was incredibly erotic.
981
01:11:42,787 --> 01:11:45,915
Well, anyway, I woke up,
of course, alone in my big bed,
982
01:11:46,583 --> 01:11:49,711
but I felt terribly happy.
983
01:11:49,794 --> 01:11:51,546
Even though it wasn't true,
984
01:11:51,746 --> 01:11:54,049
I still felt as if there was someone
985
01:11:54,249 --> 01:11:57,177
who wanted to make love to me.
986
01:12:03,892 --> 01:12:06,853
I met this Pakistani fellow outside.
987
01:12:07,053 --> 01:12:09,981
He said, "Violet,
you've got the best steam in London.
988
01:12:10,940 --> 01:12:13,693
"Acid is a poison that lingers
989
01:12:13,893 --> 01:12:16,821
"and your steam gets
every ounce of it out of my system."
990
01:12:17,572 --> 01:12:20,700
So, he gives me
a fiver towards our campaign.
991
01:12:24,621 --> 01:12:27,749
What are you doing, Dawn?
992
01:12:27,874 --> 01:12:31,002
Uh, drink your, uh, tonic, darling.
She's only painting.
993
01:12:32,962 --> 01:12:35,882
I don't want her getting
no paint on her plastics.
994
01:12:36,082 --> 01:12:39,010
Oh, don't worry, she won't.
995
01:12:44,641 --> 01:12:47,769
- Wow!
- Wow.
996
01:12:50,146 --> 01:12:53,066
Well, even if we do lose,
997
01:12:53,266 --> 01:12:56,194
we've made friends
and it's been a good party.
998
01:12:56,361 --> 01:12:59,489
The party isn't over yet.
We've all that food to eat upstairs.
999
01:12:59,906 --> 01:13:03,034
- And, of course, a sit-in if we fail.
- I'm not sure about the sit-in.
1000
01:13:05,036 --> 01:13:07,247
- We'll win.
- Now who's the romantic!
1001
01:13:27,559 --> 01:13:30,687
Nance, which should I wear?
This, this, or this?
1002
01:13:32,230 --> 01:13:35,358
- I think this with that.
- You've got good taste.
1003
01:13:35,859 --> 01:13:38,945
Nance, I do like your hair like that.
1004
01:13:39,145 --> 01:13:41,573
- Do I look all right?
- You look very nice.
1005
01:13:41,773 --> 01:13:44,701
Just twist your skirt round a little.
1006
01:13:45,952 --> 01:13:49,080
Sarah, can I borrow your pink scarf?
1007
01:13:51,166 --> 01:13:52,751
Thanks.
1008
01:13:52,951 --> 01:13:55,003
"You are proposing
1009
01:13:55,203 --> 01:13:58,131
"to spend four million pounds
on this leisure centre.
1010
01:13:59,716 --> 01:14:02,844
"And in the exact place
where we have our Turkish baths,
1011
01:14:04,721 --> 01:14:07,849
"you're planning to build
an underground car park
1012
01:14:09,476 --> 01:14:12,604
"at the cost of half a million pounds."
1013
01:14:14,105 --> 01:14:17,233
It's ages since I went out in the evening.
1014
01:14:17,567 --> 01:14:20,695
Of course, you won't win
with them council people.
1015
01:14:21,488 --> 01:14:24,616
Made up their mind years ago, they did.
1016
01:14:26,910 --> 01:14:29,829
The figures speak for themselves.
1017
01:14:30,029 --> 01:14:32,957
The architects has advised that,
due to deterioration
1018
01:14:33,958 --> 01:14:37,087
seventy-five thousand pounds
need to be spent to restore the baths.
1019
01:14:41,424 --> 01:14:44,552
Look at that figure in relation
to eleven thousand pounds
1020
01:14:46,221 --> 01:14:49,349
spent on fireworks...this year.
1021
01:14:55,855 --> 01:14:58,441
Dawn,
1022
01:14:58,641 --> 01:15:01,569
get that stupid shirt off
and come and take your tablets.
1023
01:15:03,863 --> 01:15:06,991
What do you want Mum,
chop suey or chicken?
1024
01:15:07,450 --> 01:15:09,869
I'll make you a lovely plate of dinner.
1025
01:15:10,069 --> 01:15:12,997
Come and take your tablets
or the police'll be after you.
1026
01:15:15,959 --> 01:15:18,962
Oh, get that thing off.
1027
01:15:19,162 --> 01:15:22,090
Wicked girl.
You're putting me off my food.
1028
01:15:23,883 --> 01:15:27,012
The police won't come in here.
Violet don't allow men in here.
1029
01:15:27,637 --> 01:15:30,098
Dawn, stop tormenting your mother.
1030
01:15:30,298 --> 01:15:33,226
Knives and forks.
1031
01:15:34,436 --> 01:15:37,564
I feel nice when I don't take my tablets.
1032
01:15:37,897 --> 01:15:39,649
I like being cheeky.
1033
01:15:39,849 --> 01:15:42,777
We all do. But we don't talk
about it at dinner time.
1034
01:15:43,528 --> 01:15:45,155
Josie?
1035
01:15:45,355 --> 01:15:47,657
- Josie?
- Josie!
1036
01:15:47,857 --> 01:15:50,785
Get out of there. Josie!
1037
01:15:51,953 --> 01:15:53,996
We are of the opinion
1038
01:15:54,196 --> 01:15:56,332
that this council has taken the liberty
1039
01:15:56,532 --> 01:15:58,668
and jumped the gun
1040
01:15:58,868 --> 01:16:01,796
by closing our baths
without proper consultation.
1041
01:16:03,631 --> 01:16:06,759
And we are not gonna
let you get away with it.
1042
01:16:06,884 --> 01:16:10,012
I would like to refer you
to the Public Health Act of 1936.
1043
01:16:11,180 --> 01:16:14,308
And if you would like to look
at Section 86 and Section 349,
1044
01:16:15,768 --> 01:16:18,896
you will see that the local authority
has an obligation to...
1045
01:16:19,272 --> 01:16:22,400
- Come on, Josie.
- Coming!
1046
01:16:34,829 --> 01:16:37,748
But whatever the laws say or don't say,
1047
01:16:37,948 --> 01:16:40,877
let's not forget
that there are 9,000 homes
1048
01:16:41,460 --> 01:16:44,005
without baths in Trigate,
1049
01:16:44,205 --> 01:16:47,133
25,000 pensioners
who haven't got a bath at home.
1050
01:16:48,843 --> 01:16:51,971
Or if they have,
can't afford to heat the water!
1051
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:03,858
Oh, I like this.
1052
01:17:04,058 --> 01:17:06,986
I like us all sitting at the table
together.
1053
01:17:07,278 --> 01:17:10,406
Now, I'd like to be
a matron at a hospital,
1054
01:17:10,573 --> 01:17:13,284
looking after lots of people.
1055
01:17:13,484 --> 01:17:15,828
It reminds me of years gone by.
1056
01:17:16,028 --> 01:17:18,956
The whole family
would spend Christmas together.
1057
01:17:20,166 --> 01:17:23,294
It's not like that anymore.
1058
01:17:25,546 --> 01:17:28,674
I'm so hungry.
1059
01:17:28,966 --> 01:17:32,094
I'm starving.
1060
01:17:32,678 --> 01:17:35,806
Last time we all had Christmas together,
1061
01:17:36,599 --> 01:17:38,392
Auntie Bernice says,
1062
01:17:38,592 --> 01:17:41,312
"Why can't you leave
your knife and fork straight
1063
01:17:41,512 --> 01:17:43,773
"when you've finished eating?"
1064
01:17:43,973 --> 01:17:46,901
"I'm not interested in cutlery,"
I told her.
1065
01:17:48,236 --> 01:17:50,613
"I just enjoy the dinner."
1066
01:17:54,909 --> 01:17:57,828
And thank goodness
we didn't have to cook it.
1067
01:17:58,028 --> 01:18:00,957
My husband used to bring
his business friends home for supper.
1068
01:18:01,457 --> 01:18:04,043
"You're a frightfully good cook,"
they'd say.
1069
01:18:04,243 --> 01:18:06,587
so I had to live up to my reputation.
1070
01:18:06,787 --> 01:18:08,297
Superwoman.
1071
01:18:11,333 --> 01:18:14,262
- We want to look after everybody.
- Right.
1072
01:18:14,971 --> 01:18:17,223
When a fellow stays the night with me,
1073
01:18:17,423 --> 01:18:19,392
I end up cooking the breakfast.
1074
01:18:19,592 --> 01:18:22,520
I spent the best ten years of my life
feeding me kid and me old man.
1075
01:18:24,063 --> 01:18:26,691
ln he'd come, me old man,
rubbing his hands.
1076
01:18:26,891 --> 01:18:29,819
The first thing he says,
"What's for dinner, then?"
1077
01:18:30,903 --> 01:18:33,614
They go bald, they go impotent,
1078
01:18:33,814 --> 01:18:36,325
but they never
lose interest in their grub.
1079
01:18:38,861 --> 01:18:41,205
I preferred
the nursery to the kitchen.
1080
01:18:41,405 --> 01:18:43,958
And then, suddenly,
they've grown too big for it
1081
01:18:44,158 --> 01:18:46,127
and they burst through the walls,
1082
01:18:46,327 --> 01:18:49,046
saying, " Now what? More.
Where do we go from here?"
1083
01:18:49,246 --> 01:18:50,715
You don't know.
1084
01:18:50,915 --> 01:18:53,843
- They start talking about money.
- And sex and drugs.
1085
01:18:54,844 --> 01:18:57,722
And they try to commit suicide.
1086
01:18:57,922 --> 01:19:00,850
They start nicking cars
and end up getting put away.
1087
01:19:01,184 --> 01:19:04,187
They tell us
we're old and badly dressed
1088
01:19:04,387 --> 01:19:06,981
and we'll get cancer
if we go on smoking.
1089
01:19:07,181 --> 01:19:10,109
And they tell you
if they're unhappy and it's your fault.
1090
01:19:10,526 --> 01:19:13,654
- They leave home.
- Or they won't leave home.
1091
01:19:14,697 --> 01:19:17,825
If they go out into the world knowing
they're well-loved, it's satisfying.
1092
01:19:21,704 --> 01:19:24,790
It's one of the most satisfying things
1093
01:19:24,990 --> 01:19:27,919
when I look at my kids
and...I'm proud of them.
1094
01:19:29,712 --> 01:19:32,173
Me, too.
1095
01:19:32,373 --> 01:19:35,301
Mum...do you remember that woman
1096
01:19:36,636 --> 01:19:39,764
we saw dancing with a spangle
in her belly button?
1097
01:19:40,765 --> 01:19:42,391
No.
1098
01:19:42,591 --> 01:19:45,520
Well, I remember,
it was at the Star and Garter.
1099
01:19:46,687 --> 01:19:49,815
Her and Daddy
took me there for my birthday
1100
01:19:50,066 --> 01:19:52,902
and they had this woman
in a jungle costume
1101
01:19:53,102 --> 01:19:56,030
dancing with a diamond in her belly.
1102
01:19:56,072 --> 01:19:58,407
-
- Dawn!
1103
01:19:58,607 --> 01:20:01,536
She thought we should get up and leave,
but I made a fuss
1104
01:20:02,245 --> 01:20:05,373
so Daddy told her
to shut her eyes till it was over.
1105
01:20:06,499 --> 01:20:09,627
Was it good?
1106
01:20:09,919 --> 01:20:13,047
Oh, it was beautiful.
1107
01:20:14,966 --> 01:20:18,094
She danced like this.
1108
01:20:26,060 --> 01:20:29,188
Of course, it's all Daddy's fault.
1109
01:20:29,272 --> 01:20:32,400
Taking her to the Star and Garter
for that Christmas show.
1110
01:20:33,317 --> 01:20:35,736
That was the start of it.
1111
01:20:35,936 --> 01:20:38,865
You're a really good dancer, Dawn.
1112
01:20:45,454 --> 01:20:48,583
I never dance anymore.
1113
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:52,128
When was the last time
you really danced, Nance?
1114
01:20:52,628 --> 01:20:55,756
Ages ago. William had some
important clients to entertain.
1115
01:20:56,299 --> 01:20:58,885
And they brought their wives,
so he took me.
1116
01:20:59,085 --> 01:21:02,013
One of the men was young
and so we went on to a nightclub.
1117
01:21:02,263 --> 01:21:05,391
He picked me as his partner
and we danced and danced.
1118
01:21:05,641 --> 01:21:07,435
He danced beautifully.
1119
01:21:07,635 --> 01:21:10,563
William was furious!
I bet!
1120
01:21:14,775 --> 01:21:17,904
You look like a lot of monkeys.
1121
01:21:23,659 --> 01:21:26,787
Bill, you'll soon find out
what you can do.
1122
01:21:40,676 --> 01:21:43,804
I remember one night in Rio
when I was still with David.
1123
01:21:43,888 --> 01:21:47,016
Naturally, we were staying
at the grandest hotel in town,
1124
01:21:47,141 --> 01:21:50,269
stuffy as hell
with mind-blowing air-conditioning.
1125
01:21:51,020 --> 01:21:54,148
Everybody was sitting around,
you know, drinking, smoking,
1126
01:21:55,650 --> 01:21:58,778
talking about
sums of money, money, money.
1127
01:22:00,655 --> 01:22:03,074
I went into the bedroom,
1128
01:22:03,274 --> 01:22:06,202
out of that door down the corridor
and right out of that hotel.
1129
01:22:07,662 --> 01:22:10,039
I didn't even take my bag.
1130
01:22:10,239 --> 01:22:13,167
I was wearing
this rather flimsy white cotton dress
1131
01:22:13,417 --> 01:22:16,546
and extremely high-heeled
green sandals.
1132
01:22:16,671 --> 01:22:19,382
I knew I was taking a risk.
1133
01:22:19,582 --> 01:22:21,759
- Ooh, Josie.
-
1134
01:22:21,959 --> 01:22:24,887
But somehow,
I don't know, it excited me.
1135
01:22:25,054 --> 01:22:27,515
And right around
the corner from the hotel
1136
01:22:27,715 --> 01:22:30,643
there was this rather poor street,
but very colourful.
1137
01:22:31,269 --> 01:22:34,397
And there were these boys
playing just this kind of music.
1138
01:22:35,898 --> 01:22:38,442
They were sitting
on the steps of some place
1139
01:22:38,642 --> 01:22:41,571
that was closed for the night
and everybody was singing and dancing.
1140
01:22:43,614 --> 01:22:46,158
- Did you dance?
- It was impossible not to.
1141
01:22:46,358 --> 01:22:49,287
There was music in the air.
1142
01:22:50,329 --> 01:22:53,457
We danced and danced.
1143
01:22:53,875 --> 01:22:56,252
Woo!
1144
01:22:56,452 --> 01:22:59,380
The last time I ever really danced.
1145
01:23:00,798 --> 01:23:03,926
Come on, Nancy, get those hips moving!
1146
01:23:06,345 --> 01:23:09,473
Now, Dawn, don't get all aerated.
1147
01:23:09,515 --> 01:23:12,435
See what you're doing?
You've got them all aerated.
1148
01:23:12,635 --> 01:23:15,563
Do you think we'd fall out
if we tried to run this place together?
1149
01:23:16,355 --> 01:23:19,483
- We'd have to work hard at it.
- Relationships are too frail.
1150
01:23:29,869 --> 01:23:31,412
With men they're frail.
1151
01:23:31,612 --> 01:23:33,748
How is it
1152
01:23:33,948 --> 01:23:36,876
that one day you can have
such a close intimacy with a man
1153
01:23:37,919 --> 01:23:41,047
that you have the right to put your hand
in his pocket out walking,
1154
01:23:41,672 --> 01:23:43,549
just to keep your fingers warm,
1155
01:23:43,749 --> 01:23:46,552
but really
he's thinking about another woman?
1156
01:23:46,752 --> 01:23:48,095
It's not worth it.
1157
01:23:48,295 --> 01:23:51,015
Next time I'm going to write
my own marriage vows.
1158
01:23:51,215 --> 01:23:54,143
"I promise to listen to you and try
to understand what you're saying.
1159
01:23:54,936 --> 01:23:58,064
"I promise to talk to you
and tell you who I am."
1160
01:23:59,273 --> 01:24:02,401
Oh, that's beautiful. I shivered.
1161
01:24:03,569 --> 01:24:06,155
I love my Jerry.
1162
01:24:06,355 --> 01:24:09,283
I want to feel my love for him
real inside me.
1163
01:24:10,952 --> 01:24:14,080
Not a pretend love,
but a real love, with all my feelings.
1164
01:24:21,420 --> 01:24:23,214
I'd like that, too.
1165
01:24:23,414 --> 01:24:26,050
I'd like to be with a man,
living with a man,
1166
01:24:26,250 --> 01:24:29,178
getting really close,
feeling you belong together.
1167
01:24:31,180 --> 01:24:33,474
I dream of it.
1168
01:24:33,674 --> 01:24:35,810
The warmth.
1169
01:24:36,010 --> 01:24:38,938
I dream of having my very own,
very gentle, loving man.
1170
01:24:41,858 --> 01:24:43,943
What a lot of dreamers we are!
1171
01:24:46,312 --> 01:24:49,031
Do you know what I'm going to do?
1172
01:24:49,231 --> 01:24:51,367
When I speak at the meeting tonight,
1173
01:24:51,567 --> 01:24:54,495
I'm going to give them
the facts and figures,
1174
01:24:54,662 --> 01:24:57,790
but then,
I'm going to make them a suggestion.
1175
01:24:57,999 --> 01:25:00,126
If they could give us a grant,
1176
01:25:00,326 --> 01:25:03,254
we could do wonders with this place.
1177
01:25:03,379 --> 01:25:06,507
New beds, luxury towels, soft lighting.
1178
01:25:06,707 --> 01:25:08,301
- Poets would come.
-
1179
01:25:08,501 --> 01:25:11,262
And we'd all get together
and we'd have discussions
1180
01:25:11,462 --> 01:25:13,556
about how we want to run the place.
1181
01:25:13,756 --> 01:25:15,725
It sounds sensible to me, love.
1182
01:25:15,925 --> 01:25:18,853
And I'll be right behind you
when you stand up and say it tonight.
1183
01:25:20,146 --> 01:25:23,274
Now get ready or we're going to be late.
1184
01:25:44,212 --> 01:25:47,340
Come on, Dawn.
1185
01:26:27,839 --> 01:26:30,967
Mum, we've won!
1186
01:26:32,260 --> 01:26:35,388
Mum? Mum?
1187
01:26:36,806 --> 01:26:39,016
Mum!
1188
01:26:39,216 --> 01:26:42,144
Your mum's in here.
She fell asleep in my big chair.
1189
01:26:45,898 --> 01:26:49,026
We've won, we've won!
1190
01:26:49,694 --> 01:26:52,822
My daughter says,
"Happy endings are old-fashioned."
1191
01:26:55,449 --> 01:26:58,578
I've got some champagne!
Let's open it.
1192
01:26:58,744 --> 01:27:01,497
Now is the time to celebrate.
1193
01:27:01,697 --> 01:27:03,249
Oh, what a great idea, Nancy!
1194
01:27:03,449 --> 01:27:06,169
- I don't feel like tea this evening.
-
1195
01:27:06,369 --> 01:27:07,962
I feel a lot better.
1196
01:27:08,162 --> 01:27:11,090
Funny, I really had a good sleep
in your old armchair.
1197
01:27:11,632 --> 01:27:14,760
I get pills from the doctor.
They don't do me no good.
1198
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:16,304
He doesn't know my body.
1199
01:27:16,504 --> 01:27:18,514
-
-
1200
01:27:18,714 --> 01:27:20,183
Violet.
1201
01:27:20,383 --> 01:27:23,311
We're going to drink a toast
to Violet and to the baths.
1202
01:27:23,603 --> 01:27:26,731
Joy, Dawn, Celia, Sarah.
1203
01:27:27,773 --> 01:27:30,902
Oops.
Thank you, Nancy.
1204
01:27:31,194 --> 01:27:34,322
Violet!
And the baths, Vi.
1205
01:27:35,698 --> 01:27:38,826
You're making me cry.
1206
01:27:40,578 --> 01:27:43,164
I took the microphone and I spoke up.
1207
01:27:43,364 --> 01:27:46,292
How many times must I tell
you never to talk to strangers?
1208
01:27:47,210 --> 01:27:50,338
- Your husband was nice.
- Oh, yeah, he stuck up for me.
1209
01:27:50,796 --> 01:27:53,925
But Josie was the star,
the star of the occasion.
1210
01:27:54,258 --> 01:27:56,302
- Josie.
- It's true, Josie.
1211
01:27:56,502 --> 01:27:59,430
You're incredibly eloquent.
Passionate, but precise.
1212
01:28:00,598 --> 01:28:03,184
We couldn't have done it
without you, Sarah.
1213
01:28:03,384 --> 01:28:04,936
Sarah.
1214
01:28:05,136 --> 01:28:08,064
They've given us 5,000 pounds
for urgent repairs
1215
01:28:08,264 --> 01:28:11,192
and they've given us six months
to get the attendance up.
1216
01:28:11,442 --> 01:28:13,194
So do you think we can do it?
1217
01:28:13,394 --> 01:28:16,322
'Cause none of that money can go
on making the place look any better.
1218
01:28:17,198 --> 01:28:20,326
Most of it has to go
on the plumbing, new parts and...
1219
01:28:20,952 --> 01:28:23,204
So how do we get the attendance up?
1220
01:28:23,404 --> 01:28:26,332
Because we need new towels
and we need new curtains.
1221
01:28:26,958 --> 01:28:29,627
- Look at them.
- And new beds.
1222
01:28:29,827 --> 01:28:32,338
It's tricky. ln six months?
1223
01:28:32,538 --> 01:28:34,674
We can no longer go
on lighting candles
1224
01:28:34,874 --> 01:28:37,260
and picking primroses
to hide the shabbiness.
1225
01:28:37,460 --> 01:28:40,346
We've got to make
a sales pitch, that's what.
1226
01:28:40,546 --> 01:28:43,474
"Here, lady, here's a bargain,
a free bath for a new customer.
1227
01:28:44,851 --> 01:28:47,979
"Sign on for ten baths,
you get another free one.
1228
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:51,607
"Bring a friend,
and we give you a T- shirt."
1229
01:28:53,150 --> 01:28:56,070
- A T-shirt.
-
1230
01:28:56,270 --> 01:28:58,865
Come on, Dawn, get your hat on.
1231
01:28:59,065 --> 01:29:01,242
No! Why bleeding we'll
should we go home?
1232
01:29:01,442 --> 01:29:02,785
I'm staying.
1233
01:29:02,985 --> 01:29:05,371
But we won our case.
We don't have to occupy.
1234
01:29:05,571 --> 01:29:07,957
- We don't have to have our sit-in now.
- No.
1235
01:29:08,157 --> 01:29:10,376
Why shouldn't we stay here, anyway?
1236
01:29:10,576 --> 01:29:12,503
That's what we'll do.
1237
01:29:12,703 --> 01:29:15,631
We'll stay here anyway
and have our sit-in.
1238
01:29:16,382 --> 01:29:19,510
Of course, we need publicity.
1239
01:29:19,677 --> 01:29:22,805
That's the way
we get the attendance up!
1240
01:29:28,352 --> 01:29:31,480
It'd be a bit of a disappointment,
I've come all prepared to stay.
1241
01:29:32,356 --> 01:29:35,484
I've got your tablets and my tablets
and two hot water bottles.
1242
01:29:36,652 --> 01:29:39,780
Just like the war,
going down in the air-raid shelter.
1243
01:29:41,824 --> 01:29:44,952
Hello, Joe?
Listen, love...I won't be home tonight.
1244
01:29:47,580 --> 01:29:50,333
We've decided to stay.
1245
01:29:50,533 --> 01:29:53,461
Yeah, I know,
but, well, we just felt like it.
1246
01:29:55,463 --> 01:29:57,965
Listen, there's a fish pie in...
1247
01:29:58,165 --> 01:30:01,093
Oh, no, no, no,
don't worry, don't worry.
1248
01:30:01,719 --> 01:30:04,847
We're having a good time. Yeah.
1249
01:30:05,431 --> 01:30:07,099
All right, God bless.
1250
01:30:07,299 --> 01:30:10,228
Oh...and thanks
for what you said tonight.
1251
01:30:11,062 --> 01:30:14,106
Everybody thinks you were great.
1252
01:30:14,306 --> 01:30:17,235
Right, love. Night.
1253
01:30:25,660 --> 01:30:28,788
We can make this place
like a palace,
1254
01:30:29,455 --> 01:30:32,583
all pink and white marble
and plants hanging from the ceilings.
1255
01:30:35,127 --> 01:30:37,505
And animals and flowers.
1256
01:30:37,705 --> 01:30:40,633
And a hot fountain,
rising out of the middle of the plunge.
1257
01:30:41,384 --> 01:30:44,512
Violet could wear
a leopard-skin bathing costume,
1258
01:30:44,595 --> 01:30:47,723
and I'd have white satin,
with a sheen on it.
1259
01:30:50,142 --> 01:30:53,271
And Dawn could wear her birthday suit.
1260
01:30:53,471 --> 01:30:56,399
Come on, Sarah.
1261
01:30:56,566 --> 01:30:59,694
Come on, Mrs Meadow, join us.
1262
01:31:17,545 --> 01:31:20,673
Look at me!
1263
01:31:22,341 --> 01:31:23,885
Woo-hoo!
1264
01:31:24,085 --> 01:31:27,013
For twenty years,
all I've ever thought about
1265
01:31:27,597 --> 01:31:30,725
has been money, make-up and me home!
1266
01:31:31,934 --> 01:31:35,062
- And sex!
- Beautiful clothes!
1267
01:31:35,188 --> 01:31:38,316
And sex!
Oh, all right, and sex!
1268
01:31:41,319 --> 01:31:44,197
Watch out, Mrs M!
1269
01:31:44,397 --> 01:31:47,325
- Oh, you wicked girl!
- You've all gone mad!
1270
01:31:51,996 --> 01:31:55,124
- Josie!
- I'm changing that! I'm branching out!
1271
01:31:56,751 --> 01:31:59,879
I'm changing that! I'm branching out!
1272
01:32:01,756 --> 01:32:04,884
I'm going, somehow or other,
to get meself...
1273
01:32:06,594 --> 01:32:09,639
doing something!
1274
01:32:09,839 --> 01:32:12,767
Josie, public speaking like that,
you could join the council!
1275
01:32:14,852 --> 01:32:17,396
Great! The council! Woo-hoo!
1276
01:32:17,596 --> 01:32:20,525
To the council! Dawn! Sarah!
1277
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:27,823
Here, let's go and get the balloons!
1278
01:32:28,023 --> 01:32:30,952
Get them all in the water! Lovely!
1279
01:32:57,895 --> 01:33:01,023
Mum, look what I can do!
1280
01:33:02,733 --> 01:33:05,862
My throat feels
as if my heart has risen up into it.
1281
01:33:07,864 --> 01:33:10,992
You know the heart,
you feed it to the animals.
1282
01:33:12,034 --> 01:33:15,163
You boil it. It's hard and fibrous.
1283
01:33:15,872 --> 01:33:18,958
You can't swallow it.
It won't go down.
1284
01:33:19,158 --> 01:33:21,961
Like an animal, a marine animal,
1285
01:33:22,161 --> 01:33:23,838
you want it to survive.
1286
01:33:24,038 --> 01:33:26,966
-
- Oh, lovely!
1287
01:33:28,384 --> 01:33:31,512
