Good Time Girl

Subtitles by Seglora

Could I speak to you for a moment Miss Thorpe?

Of course,Sergeant,what about?

I wonder if you want to see a kid we just brought in

Boy?

-No girl -What's the charge

Well I don't want to charge if I can help it

Thought you might talk some sense into her first

What's she been up to?

Hanging around the streets the small hours of last night

Surely you can cope with that

I have so far but now she's where she won't go home at all

Can't budge her

Any reason?

Says she's fed up to the back teeth wants to live on her own

What's her home like?

Pretty bad

Six in the family.Father likes his drop and mother copped in the Blitz

Left it it a bit queer like

Is the girl working?

Yes cashier at the White The Butchers

I see. What makes you think I can do any good?

Well if you can persuade to go back home without help

We don't want another Rawlings on our hands do we?

All right,Sergeant, bring her in and I see what I can do

Thanks,Miss,Lawrence is the name

Lyla Lawrence

All right,Sergeant,we would like to have a private talk

Very good,Miss

-Sit down,Lyla -I'd rather stand,if you don't mind

All right

You know the sergeant's very worried about you

You need to mind your own business

He thinks you are his business

No,I'm not

How old are you,Lyla ?

Fifteen

You think you are old enough to live on your own?

I'm old enough to do as I like

-Look,Lyla,if I were your mother -You are not,you see

No,I'm not and I suppose you wouldn't take my advice if I were

all right,so I won't give it

You are unhappy at home,aren't you?

How did you guess?

I don't have to

Most of the girls I see here have the same old problem

So what

Do you imagine that your home is worse than theirs?

I know it is. I've got a decent job and I want to look nice like other girls

But a fat chance I've got having to give half my money

to live in a pigsty with a lot of snotty nosed kids

You want something better

Nobody blames you for that

I work all day and I work down hard

So why shouldn't I have a good time

No reason at all. It all depends on how you get it and where it gets you

Well I know where it's gonna get me and if people leave me alone I'll end up all right

When Rawlings had the same idea

Who was she when she was at home?

You don't remember Gwen Rawlings?

She stood just where you're standing

Not so very long ago

She had a hard life at home

Much harder than yours

And her job was half as good

She did pawnbroking

Thank you

Very nice brooch and expensive too

-I was only looking -Naturally

I wasn't pinching if that is what you think

Of course not you wouldn't do a thing like that now would you?

If you must know I borrowed it to wear at a dance last night

No harm in that

No harm at all except it doesn't belong to you

You like my things,don't you,Gwen?

Yes

If you were a very nice girl I might give it to you

You take your hands off me

All right then I'm afraid that's left it to the police

You couldn't do that

I'm afraid I must

People who take other people's property end up in jail

But you can't call the police I haven't done nothing

Very well then this time we leave the police out of it

You'd better go before I change my mind

You mean I'm sacked?

You don't expect me to keep you here after this do you?

What can I tell my Dad?

There is no need for you to tell him anything

I'll be around to see him myself this evening

-No -I think I know my duty

Look,Gwen,I don't want to be hard on you give me little kiss

and we forget about the brooch shall we?

Good Night Mum

Where have you been?

Dancing, pictures why?

You're not going to cope with it when dad comes home

Yeah?

He was half mad,old Pottinger came round,especially to snitch on you

Where is Dad now?

Went down to Green Man Pub

He did.Did he?

There is he now

-Hello,Dad -So you have been pinching,eh!

Quiet,what's up with you Gwen?

I'm getting out

Don't be silly,you can't do that

There is no use,Mum,he spoke to me for the last time

-Wish me luck -I'll do,I'll do,Gwen

Where are you going?

Lodgings I believe

You'll write to me,won't you?

I'll see

Are you all right for money?

Oh,I got a couple of quids that will see me through until I get a job

Good Bye,Mum

Have you got a room to let?

I got one vacant top floor one of my best rooms

Could I see it please?

You can take my word it's one of my best

-I'd like to see it -All right

I seems to do nothing but climbing those stairs

Mind your feet

It's really a climb isn't it?

Just to the right

-Well -How much is it?

-17 and 6 a week in advance -17 and 6?

That's cheap for a furnished room

All right I'll take it

Plenty are after it I can tell you but I don't take anyone under 16

-In advance,you said? -That's right

-Half a crown change? -No change,half a crown,light and tea

Now look here

I said it,you needn't take it,I can get plenty people who will

All right

-Good Morning Mrs Chalk -Good Morning Mr Rosso

Just showing this lady the spare room

You can depend on Mrs Chalk

She look after you

That was Mr Rosso one of my regulars being with me over a year

Got a good job too, in the nightclub

-You got a job? -Me? Of course I got a job

All right now I'm only asking, I hope you'll be comfortable

Kind of palace but it is clean

Careful of steps the last has cracked

Are you single?

Yes I got an Aunt in nappies and an Uncle in the Marines

It will help you to keep it super clean my little girl

and no men friends are allowed in the room,remember that

What do you want?

Just to make acquaintance I have the room opposite

Remember?

You've got a nerve coming in without knocking

I might not have a stitch on

I wouldn't mind

-Well I should -OK

Next time I'll knock

There's not going to be no next time you go back to your room Mr

-What's your name -Jimmy Rosso

They call me Jimmy the waiter

What's your name ?

Gwen Rawlings,Miss Rawlings to you

And I'll thank you that you get out of my room

What's the idea? Are you afraid of me?

-Of course not, -Than why do you look so scared for?

-Run away from Mum -That's my business

Like my sister she ran away from Mum because her old man beat her

-Your own old man beat you? -Certainly not

That's what made you run away from home

Have it your own way

Got a job?

Of course I got a job

I'll get you one if you like

What sort of job?

A quid a night!

So you want the job

Better going to see the foreign cheques

OK Maxie

-Here you are,get into these -What here?

-I shan't look -I'd rather change in the ladies

OK Lady make it snappy

And shut the door

You took long enough but you got results

Mind you smile at the customers that way

and you've got a career in front of you

Come over here

Give you one to the customer

and put the other one on the hat and coat understand

The main thing to remember is to remember

What?

All is assumed the fools will lose their tickets

Half of them do anyway

-How old are you? -19

I said how old are you?

16

You better stick to 19 around here

So you got to remember where you put each hat and got faith when you are doing it

And another thing the customer is always right

and the tighter the righter

And there she was in the paper they always always want to be cremated

Good Evening,Sir

Hey,Rick,look what I found

Perhaps leave your hats and coats,gentlemen

We're not gentlemen darling we are the band

Are you the new girl?

Yes

Let's hope it doesn't go the same way as Mariam went

Cut it out Al,she is a nice girl, anyone can see that

Yeah so was Mary don't I'll be seeing you darling

Hi,Sonia come on go on the stand

Who is he when he is at home?

That's Art Moody,the leader of the band

The rest what is coming is Ernest's boys

all except me,I'm Red Farrell the only musician in the team

What's your name,victim

Gwen Rawlings and I'm not a victim

That's what you think

Look Gwen Rawling's there's the exit

why not make a run for it while it is still time

What are you talking about?

You are in the middle of a spider's web

-You scared me -That's right,that's why I am here

-So long,thanks for seeing you -So long

What are you thinking?

I was listening to the band, they are good,aren't they

Look,I pay them to play,and I pay you to look after the hats

So look after the hats,will you

You get awfully wet

I can't stay here all night

Always in a hurry that is or little Winny

Let us wait a couple minutes Art shall give a lift in his car

-Oh,no -What's wrong with that?

I don't think I trust myself in the car without Moody,do you?

I'm not that dumb

Don't worry I'll be there to see that there is fair play

Besides he is married

What difference does that make?

Anyway if you must know,I'm going home with Jimmy,he is getting a taxi

You better watch out for that young man

Jimmy has been very decent to me

Ah that's the big build up,comes just before the big let down

I'll look after myself

-OK,Gwenny -Good Night

Lay off

-Got you a nice job didn't I? -So what

Do I get nothing in return?

I've said thank you what more do you want

Plenty

-There is someone waiting to see you -Who is it?

Go in so you'll fill find out

Mum

Gwendoline

You didn't expect me,did you?

I thought I told you not to come here

I just wanted to make sure you was all right

Didn't let Dad know where I was

Of course not ,Gwennie we are in a proper mess

they tell me Dad is out of work again

That's nothing new

He's been on the drink for over a week I'm just at my wit's end

What can I do about it?

He wants you to come back

I am out

You see you are the only one that's old enough to bring in a bit

He swears he'll find out what you're up to if it takes him six months

He won't unless you spit it out

He beat me up last night because I kept my mouth shut

I can't stand much more of it

No use Mum of course I'm sorry he took it out on you

But he is not going to get me back not at any price

Besides what the sense in us both getting bolted

No sense at all I suppose

You are right,Gwennie,it wouldn't work

Though I do miss you

How are the kids?

Eve has got bronchitis but we're all right

I'd better be going or his Lordship will get suspicious

-Where did you say you were going? -Shopping

Goodbye take care of yourself

Mum,look here buy yourself something

-No,Gwennie -Go on I like to spend it

Thanks a lot I can do with it just now

Thank you Kelly

-Good Night Red -Good Night

-Good Night,Mr Red -Good Night

Hello,Duchess, how are all little hats and coats?

I shan't be looking after them for much longer

Amazing or are you going back to your mother like a good girl?

But if you promise to keep it to yourself I'll tell you

Maxie is going to let me have a go at Sonia's job

Well,well,you've come a long way in a short time haven't we?

How did you manage it?

As if I didn't know

If you say that again and I'll catch you a packet

If I might coin the phrase you look beautiful when you are angry

What does Jimmy say about all this?

Why should say anything it's none of his business

Not a crime if a girl wants to get on,is it?

No,no crime at all

But you know them in their thing that in either of them,don't you?

They'll just chuck you out when they got what they want

Maybe they won't get what they want

First,they will I've never seen them miss out yet

-I can take care of myself -I hope you can Gwennie

You know,you are a born sybarite

What's that?

All right,it is not an insult just means that you are born to luxury

You won't be contented with one mink coat,you want three

-Why not? -Why not indeed

Watch out Gwennie

Do you know when they want to mesmerise someone?

They dazzle their eyes and beautiful bright lights,nothing but bright light

You are clever,you are?

Correct I can't help it

I come from an intelligent family oozing the genius,that's me

That's why you playing cut my head downstairs

Correct,that's why,don't do as I do,Gwennie,do as I say

How asked you in?

I want to talk to you

-Good Evening Maxie -Brush

What is the matter with your face?

I've some fell something

That's somebody's fist from the look of it

Of course not

Jimmy

What's been happening to Gwen? Where did you get that black eye?

I didn't say anything to me honest I didn't

So it was you, you little rat

You can't talk to me like that

Can't I? You are fired. Get out

What for?

Because you can't keep your hands off my staff that's why

You mean you want to keep her to yourself like those other kids you had around here

Get out

All right I'll go but you'll be sorry I'll fix you good and proper

And I'll fix her too

-Collie -All right,all right,I'll go

I'll see you again one day

One day very soon

See he is off the premises in five minutes

-And he doesn't come back -Yes,Sir

You better take the night off your are no advert for a club like that

Yes,Max

Something troubling you,Maxie?

What does it feel to have strong men fighting of you

You mind your own business

Another trouble is they do the fighting but you're the one that get hurt

That's my lookout

Don't you see,duchess, you are walking straight into that little red triangle

What red triangle?

One that says dangerous corner

-Gwen, -What do you want?

Sorry about what happened

I don't want your apologies

Wait a minute I didn't do no harm did I?

I get you a you a nice job and then he turns around me and I gets me the sack

I am sorry,Jimmy,but it wasn't my fault really

I know I know I'm in the super no mistake

You got to help me get out of it

-What can I do? -I'ain't not got a job now

No money neither.Not pay that Mother Chalk and she kicks me out

All I got are these they belonged to me Ma

I believe you can do for me,Gwennie

You know the pawnshop around the corner in Broad street?

Yeah

Let me go and pop these and get me the money

Why can't you pop them yourself?

They know me wouldn't get me nothing. A pretty girl like you get a packet

Go on,Gwen,give us a chance

All right

And say nothing about me or your Ma get it?

Meet outside the club at 8 o'clock sharp

-OK? -OK

-You're late? -What's the hurry?

How much did you get?

Fiver

All right,good, that's fine I would not get more than a couple of..

It's that what the fellow gives you?

Well, they couldn't give you some change but I ain't got none got to get a bus

Jimmy what you mean when you said you were gonna fix Max full and proper?

Don't worry,sweetheart, you'll find out, you'll found out pretty quick

You'll find out that I ain't finished for you neither

Thanks very much sweetheart you can keep that for your trouble

How about a fiver for the job and fiver for forgetting you were here

Suits me

Thanks

You'll be allright in a couple of days

-Good Night -Good Night

Tell the boys we are closed tonight

And don't come back

-Good Night Gwen -Hello,Red

You look all in,why don't you go home

-I dare not -What's the matter,Gwen

Jimmy said he hadn't finished with me, and you saw what he did with Max

So it was our little friend,Jimmy,was it?

But he would never touch you

Wouldn't he? He knows where I live

Red I don't want to be marked for life

You can't possibly stay here,can you?

I can't go home

You are absolutely wet through

Look you better come back to my place

-Oh,Red,could I? -At least you could keep warm there

Thanks,Red,you are a sport

All right,come on

I'm afraid the place is a bit of a mess

Very nice flat I wish I lived here

Just for tonight you do take that coat off

-Got very wet -Drenched

You'd better have a hot bath

Yes

Mile End Billy is here boss

OK

Come in Billy

I got a job for you

-Don't stop -Feeling better?

-I feel lovely now -You look it too

Who is this?

-My wife -Your wife?

Don't worry Annie doesn't live here anymore

-She is beautiful,isn't she? -Yes

What happened?

-May I say what happened ? -We just had a hell of a row

About nothing and I told her to get out

And she did?

-That's then -Do you miss her?

No,of course not

Come over here and make yourself at home

I wouldn't have left you if I had been her

Wouldn't you Gwen?

First time

I like it here I like to stay here forever and ever

-I'm afraid you can't do that -Can't I?

No

Let get this straight,Gwen

You could sleep the night here you can take the bedroom and I'll shake down in here

But tomorrow we start looking for a new room for you

See?

Anyhting you say Red

That's better

Do you like a hot drink or something?

No thank you

And off you go to bed

-Right now? -Yes,now

Go on,go on

Good Night

-Good Morning,Gwen Rawlings -Yes

We're police officers.We'd like to ask you a few questions

Do you mind if we come in?

What do you want?

Well, we have reason to believe that you may know something

about the theft of some jewellery from number three Georgina street

I don't know anything about it I've only been here for two weeks

No, you left without giving notice I believe and without paying the bill

That's right

She can have the money

Two weeks ago yesterday, right?

Yes

Some jewellery stolen from Mrs Chalk was pawned that morning

By someone answering to your description

And giving the name of Gwen Rawlings

Can you account for that?

I pawned it for a friend

I see.Did you tell the pawnbroker that it belonged to your mother?

-He told me to -Who did?

-My friend,Jimmy Rosso -I see,can you give me his address?

-I don't know where he is now -That's a pity

Did you give this Jimmy Rosso the five pounds note

that you got from the pawnbroker?

Yes

You didn't use it to pay for something you bought from the shop next door

I remember now Jimmy asked me to change it for him

I see.Well I'm afraid I must ask you to come with me to the station

Station?

Yes the police station

Well you can't take me I haven't done anything

If anybody took that jewellery it was Jimmy I'm not going

Yes you are

You helped him to encash

That was where I first Gwen. She was brought before the court here

Do you know what a juvenile court is like,Lyla? No

It's just like a meeting really the magistrates sit here

the clerk of the court there and the witnesses over there

Gwen was standing just where you are now and Jimmy Rosso was giving evidence

And what did she said?

She send me some for jewellery and asked me to pawn if for her

I didn't It's all lies

Gwen now listen to me. You must not interrupt

you can say anything you want later on but meanwhile keep quiet

-Go on. -She asked you to pawn the jewellery

What happened then?

Well sounded fishy so I said no.Didn't know where she got the stuff

I knew she wanted money

You filthy skunk he is out to frame me good and proper type

OK OK I tried to do my best for you and now I'm going to tell the truth

You mean you weren't telling the truth before

Of course I was telling the truth

but I didn't want you know about this do you see that and that

that what she did for me when I wouldn't give her money

crushed me with a bottle

All right Mr Rosso you can stand down for the moment

We are rather worried about your case Gwen

Last week when you were first here four people gave evidence

You heard them

Mrs. Chalk told us that she had missed some jewellery

the day after you left her house

Mr Cross the pawnbroker told us that you had come in the previous day

and pawned it You don't deny that do you?

No but

Just a minute,you should have your say later on

The pawnbroker Mr Cross told us that he paid you with a five-pound note

He has the number and his rubber stamp is on the back of it

That note was changed at the shop

Mr Harper's shop Mr Harper said that you were the person who changed it

You don't deny that either do you?

No

When I asked for your side of the story

you said that Mr Rosso had given you the jewellery

and asked you to pawn it for him

and you gave him change for the five pound note

And we wanted to be absolutely fair to you

so we brought Mr Rosso here and you just heard his evidence

Lies

It is a very serious thing to say about it

But it was every word of it

That's for us to decide

Now is there anything else you want to say before we go away and talk about it

Only that I would touch a rotten old jewellery with a barge pole

Is that all?

Anybody who took that jewellery it was Jimmy you ask why he slashed Maxie with a razor

What does that got to do with it

You ask him

Mr Rosso would you like to tell us if you did slash somebody with a razor

I never slashed anyone

But he did I tell you,he did

Anyone else you want to speak for you?

Don't you think we ought to see the man that whose slashed was arrested

Certainly

Bring in Michael Farrell

Michael Farrell

Take the bible and read the oath

I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I give to the court shall be

the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth

Your name

Michael Farrell Address?

17 a Halbet Street West 1

Mr Farrell how long have you known Gwen Rawling?

I've known Gwen the past three months and I don't believe that she did this

Why not?

Because she's not that sort of girl besides she wasn't short of money

Then what is your explanation of it

I think there's something in the story about Jimmy Rosso

I don't know that he took it but I do know that something very fishy was going on

How could you know that?

Because Max Vine the man who used to run the Swan Night Club

was attacked by a razorgang I saw him just afterwards Gwen was certainly very

frightened that the same things were going to happen to her

How do you know

Because she asked to come back to my place

-She was afraid to go home -I see

-And you let her? -Yes

-Are you a married man,Mr Farrell? -Yes

Was your wife in the flat when Gwen was there?

No

You mean you took a girl of sixteen home to your flat

While you were living there alone?

Yes

You think this Swan Club is a good place for a girl of her age?

No

Do you think your flat is any better?

No

Did you advice her to go home to her parents?

As a matter of fact I did

But she didn't go

No.She told me that she'd run away from home because I

father beaten on several occasions

Very well Mr Farrell thank you

-But I'd -Yes Mr Farrell?

Oh Nothing

You may sit down Gwen

Everybody stand

Now Gwen I want you to come over here please

Gwen,I'm sorry to say that we found you guilty of the charge

-But you can't,you can't -Please sit down Mrs Rawlings

Has the probation officer anything to say?

This is rather unusual case,Your Worship

Gwen is only16 and I'm afraid her home life haven't been very good

There are five in the family two boys and three girls.

Her father earns five pound 12 a week when he's in work

but there has been a rather long history of unemployment

I'm afraid a great deal too much of the money is being spent on drink

Gwen left home about three months ago she says because her father thrashed her

Mr Rawlings did you thrash your daughter before she went away?

I did

Any good reasons?

She got the sack from her job for pinching

Where was that?

Pottinger's the pawnbrokers

You say she stole while she was there?

Mr Pottinger recorded her taking a brooch

That's not true.I only borrowed it to wear it at the dance. I put it back

Thank you Mr Rawlings

You like dancing,don't you Gwen?

And pretty things and smart clothes and jewellery

Yes

Don't you?

Yes I suppose everyone does but you've got to work for them

Properly and honesty

and you see what happens when you try to get them any other way

Apparently this isn't the first time

I didn't do it

I'm afraid we've decided that you did but in our opinion you're not completely

to blame for what happened when you play some of the blame on your parents

neglected failure to control you and we're not going to punish you harshly

this time the difficult thing is in deciding where to live in ordinary

circumstances I'd say the best thing for you would be to go back home

I won't go home

I can keep myself

Just a minute I was going on to say that since your home is

not by any means ideal and since you don't appear to want to go back to it

anyway we're going to send you somewhere else

Prison?

No to an approved school where you'll be well looked after and where they will

teach yourself self-control

the rest is up to you if you let them help you they will

I'm going to send you there for three years

Three years?

I won't go

I won't go,I didn't do it,I didn't do it

Gwen,do you like to see your mother and father now,wouldn't you?

No

Gwen

They think they can send me away

Is there anyone else you'd like to see?

I don't like to see anyone

Very well

I'm sorry she says she won't see anyone

Not even me?

I'm afraid not

Let me talk to her

No Dad, if she doesn't want to see us we'd better go

Thank you Mrs Parsons for all you've done

Good Bye Mrs Rawlings,Good Bye

Officer Parsons this gentleman here would like to have a word with Rawlings

I'm afraid she is refusing to see anyone at the moment

But would you just ask her?

-Well,I can but try -Thank you

Gwen there is a friend of yours

I said I didn't want to see anyone

Hello Gwen

They've given you a raw deal haven't they?

Mr Farrell please

You won't you leave us alone,aren't you?

I'm sorry,no,this is just for you to say good bye

You write me a letter now and then?

Yes of course I will Gwen I want you to forget all about it

Forget you?

Ye,it would be much better that way

That's funny that I won't never forget you

I won't forget what tiny little thing about you

I love you

Mr Farrell we must leave now

Come along,Gwen

Good afternoon will you tell Matron I'm here

Yes,Miss

Well,Gwen,this is your new home

How do you like it?

I think it stinks

-There it is a lady to see you,Matron -Thank you,Roberta

-Good Afternoon,Mrs Parsons -Good Afternoon,Matron

This is Gwen Rawlings

How do you do,Gwen

Say Good Afternoon to Matron,Gwen

You leave to us,we now how to deal with girls who are tongue tied

You now have the papers

-Thank you -Good Bye,Gwen,try and be happy

-Good Bye,Matron -Good Bye Mrs Parsons

Come along,Gwen

Keep still,Gwen,keep still

I thought they weren't going to send us anymore

So did I

But it is the same story everywhere always asking us to squeeze in one more

There's nothing there, enough Gwen

You've got nice hair

Thanks for nothing

Gwen, I told you in my office this attitude isn't going to get you very far

You are you going to stay with us for a long time you can be happy here

Otherwise it's up to you

You can get dressed now.Here you are

Where are my own clothes?

I want my own clothes

These are your clothes while you're with us

No,only she's new that's all

I warned you Gwen I shan't do it again

Let her see there are no walls around Brownwood house

Yes,Mrs Bond

-You'll like it here -Really

I didn't apply

I wouldn't be here even if they paid me a million pound

Shut up,you fool

You mustn't say that Gwen, they don't understand

No news of any more staff I suppose

What do you think

We could do something with these girls if we had a little more help

I often wonder how deep the Parent Reform does go

Here you are

Robbies tonic.Try it

I'm your sick Mum

-What is it? -You'll see,only a fifth

Oh,it's sharp,isn't it?

Up the river

Herbert,Parson,Heather, Williams,Wilkinson,Peters

-Not expecting any items? -Yes I was

Who from? A friend?

He used to play the piano where I worked

That any reason for him to write to you now?

He promised

Listen,you can fish alike if old Mills got a knife into you you won't get a chance of

a smell of a letter

You mean she keep these letters?

Yes,she is thought they were bad for little Gwinny's morale

I can find out for you

I am on hall duty this week

I can have a decoding easily of the letterbox

-Thanks -Leave it to me

Any luck with the letters?

Yeah there were two for you

Where were they posted?

One from Charing Cross the other one from AC1

Charing Cross?

I'll bet that is from Red

Now let's see if you get them

Rawlings

-There is only one from me? -Yes

Why?

Oh, nothing

Look at this,Mum

I told you so

My message to this conference is a very simple one and a very urgent one

Unless we can get more teachers and the very best type of teachers

To take up work in approved schools

We are in danger of failing completely in one of the

fundamental responsibilities of society the salvaging of those youngsters whose

natural growth has been marred by bad upbringing

bad companions or plain bad luck

There's one case very much in my mind at this moment a girl I just called her

Gwen was at a stage when constant care and attention may make all the

difference to the rest of her life

-Maybe she understands now -Will you?

If I take my hand away do you promise not to make a sound?

You wouldn't sneak to old Mills,would you?

If we tell you to get cigarettes for us you get them aren't you?

Now get to bed and if I hear you snivelling

-OK -Let's go to bed

No letters for you today

I don't know

Had a dicker when I was dusting

You know what that means don't you?

What

If he has written to you every month there must be seven of

them sitting down there in old Mill's room

If I were you I would do something about it

What

I get in there sometime and pinch some of them without pinching really is it?

They are yours are they?

She can have them

He must be sweet on you to write to you every month like that

Waiting for you ?

No,he is married

Good Night

Good Night

What was that

Nothing

What will old Mills want to see us for?

You shut your mouth

You're in it

I should worry

You will

-Good morning Roberta -Good morning Mrs.Bond
