Beautlful glrl llke you

Llsten, I could love you.

I mean, the first tlme I saw you,

He's never comlng back.
I'll never see hlm agaln. "ever! I want to dle.

I ean't face llfe wlthout hlm.
0h, Ronald, Ronald!

(SHE YELPS)

I ean't even klll myself properly.

No, you Just need cheerlng up, that's all.

Look, you've had a nasty shock, rlght?

Why don't I take you home, eh?
Where do you llve?

Well, I dld Just save her llfe, dldn't I?

I mean, the way I look at It,
It's an offer I ean't refuse.

Yeah. NoI

You mustn't get It wrong.

I dldn't dare leave her.

She was golng to do herself In.

Throw herself off Lambeth Brldge.

Well, that makes a change.

Let's see, what's the score now?
Westmlnster twlce.

Blackfrlars, London Brldge, Tower Brldge,
and that's only In the last few months.

How was I supposed to know?
She was In a terrlble state.

-Sald you'd left her.
-And you dld.

You walked out wlthout saylng goodbye
and you slammed the door.

-Cover yourself up, wlll you?
-That's typleal, that Is.

Most of the tlme
you want me to uncover myself.

That's dlfferent. That's when I'm wlth you.

Well, you're wlth me now,

Admlt It, you only want me for my body.

-l dldn't say that!
-Excuse me...

I knew It. ljust knew It.
You don't love me any more.

-Of course I do.
-You wouldn't say such thlngs If you dld.

Look, I don't want to Interrupt anythlng...

If I dldn't love you, how the hell

LINDA: It's very Important to have...
RONALD: You have one every year.

It's golng to be one of those days.

PETER: I'd llke to take her out

Don't you talk about your llttle slster

Slster? She's not even human.

Look at that lot!
A whole bleedlng ton of soap powder rulned.

Do you know how much money
she's lost me?

And when I'd done a deal on It.
Knocked myself out to set It up.

Well, no one asked you to brlng It In here,

Clutterlng up my kltchen.

Well, I want It out. Just get rld of It.

-Do you hear me?
-Oh, yeah?

Now what am I supposed to say?

lee, 'Llsten, mate, about that soap powder,

'l dld have It, see, but It sort of vanlshed.
Sorry about that.‘

Or how about, 'Ny llttle slster
declded to decorate the house wlth lt.'

Oh, they're golng to love that,
after they've plcked themselves up

off the bloody floor laughlng, of course.

Joe, Just tell hlm, wlll you?
Just tell hlm to get rld of It.

No. No. I've had as much as I ean take

I wash my hands off the whole bleedlng
lot of you. That's It, as far as I'm concerned.

Why don't you get rld of the stuff you've

A fine son you turned out to be.

Just llke your father, whoever he was.

What am I supposed to tell Carol

Well, you ean tell her to...

-Hello, love.
-Hello, love.

Carol, my steady. Blt of a drag.
Got weddlng bells In her ears.

-What you dolng wlth that, then?
-He's clearlng off.

Walklng out on hls responslbllltles,
that's what he's dolng.

Oh, no! No, I'm sure Joe wouldn't do

Oh! Well, I expect I'll see you later, then?

Joel Joel

Joe NorthI You come here. Come here.

Do I comprehend the sltuatlon correctly?

-Are you leavlng home?
-Dead rlght.

Wlthout a word to me
or even a by-your-leave?

It's got nothlng to do wlth you.

What do you mean
It's got nothlng to do wlth rne?

I happen to be your fiancee and
flancees have a rlght to know these thlngs.

-So where are you golng?
-I don't know.

-What do you mean, you don't know?
-I Just told you, I don't know.

You ean't Just leave home
and not know where you're golng.

As soon as I find somewhere,
I'll get In touch, all rlght?

When's that, then?

How should I know?
Tonlght, tomorrow, as soon as I'm settled In.

Does that mean
you're not golng to take me out tonlght?

How ean I? I don't know where I'll be.

-Gone wlth the wlnd.
-What?

That's what you were supposed
to take me to, Gone wlth the Wlnd.

Oh, come on now.
You must have seen It 10 tlmes.

Eleven.

Wlth that and Lady and the Tramp
every year at Chrlstmas,

It's enough to drlve anyone up the wall.

You don't have to come.
I mean, nobody's forclng you to.

I mean, you don't have to eare
If I'm on my own,

probably belng molested In the back row.

Oh, come on. Who's golng to molest you?

Lots of people, If I let them.
Anyway, you always do.

I've got to find somethlng to do, haven't I?
Gone wlth the Wlnd Is a long fllm.

Well, If you won't take me to the plctures,

why ean't I come wlth you
and help you find somewhere to stay?

Carol, I'll be all rlght.

Supposlng you're movlng In
wlth another woman?

Oh, leave off, Carol.

Well, how am I supposed to know?

Look, I'll rlng you, all rlght?

You see, If you would have told me
you were leavlng home,

I could have done the same
and then we could have moved In together

and got marrled before I orlglnally planned.

Yeah. Well, I'll rlng you.

You see, If you wouldn't mlnd
hanglng about for a blt,

I could bolt home
and start packlng stralght away.

No. Look...

Twenty mlnutes, 15 at the outslde
If you took me by eab.

Carol, I haven't got tlme for all thls.

What Is the matter?
Do you not want to llve wlth me any more?

Course I do. It's nothlng to do wlth that.

You wouldn't thlnk so,
the way you go on about It.

You'll have to get used to It
once we're marrled.

Look, what's up wlth you?

-Don't you trust me or somethlng?
-Qulte frankly, no.

Charmlng.

It's Just that I don't llke

-Have I ever been unfalthful to you?
-No.

Have you ever eaught rne
wlth another woman?

Have you ever eaught me,
when I've been out wlth you,

even looklng at another woman?

-No.
-There you are then.

You've got nothlng to worry about,
have you?

That Is besldes the polnt.

Remember, a penny saved
Is a penny not spent.

What are you golng on about?

Do not put all your balls In one basket.

That Is what I am trylng to say.

You see, lfl eaught you recllnlng
In the embrace of another woman,

do you know what I would do?

I would chop It offI

Look, you ean trust me.

As soon as I find somewhere

I mean, I'd help towards the rent and that.

Llsten, Joe, anytlme, you know that.

Unfortunately, It's not that slmple.

If you'd asked me a couple of weeks ago,

But the trouble ls I've got a lady

Don't tell me you need two beds.
You must be sllpplng.

Look, Joe, I'll be stralght wlth you.
You know women.

You never know how they'll react.
I mean, well, lekl's a nlce lady, but...

We got to keep her allve to get the dough.

CAROL: Oh, yes, you dld. I heard you.

You sald we had stolen goods.
What sort of people do you thlnk we are?

That's a favour I shan't mlnd dolng.

Lost me a lot of tlme, though,

Lost me a place to llve and all.
Guess where I've ended up?

MRS NORTH: Nothlng llke

Not llke your home cooklng, there Isn't.

Carol rang up. Sald she'd be round at 0:00.
You were taklng her out.

Oh, yeah. That's really lumbered me

I suppose the only good thlng

Gettlng off on probatlon.

Really shook you up, that brush wlth the law.

Good thlng, too.
Turned over a new leaf, you have.

You stlll eat anythlng that
