Now, just hold on. Hold on.

All right, all right. Take it easy. Take it easy. Let me get the mask on.

Let me get the mask on.

Pant away.

Keep going, keep going.

Good.

Good. Keep going. Look.

Look. Now... Now watch your baby born.

Take the mask off. Take the mask off. Look down.

Look down. Look down. Look, look. Look.

Good girl. Look. Look, there it is.

There.

It's a boy!

Now just a minute.

There we are.

What you laughing at?

There we are. There we are.

Come on.

Don't be greedy. Wait for it.

There! That's better.

What are you doing here? I wasn't expecting you till tomorrow.

I couldn't stand it in that place any longer.

You didn't come to see me, did you?

Of course I can't come to see you. I'm busy, love.

- I've got a living to earn, ain't I? - Yeah.

'Ere, mind that stuff on the bed, that's all new, that is.

Yeah, well, put it in the cupboard. Don't have it on the bed.

And don't sit there with all that out like that.

Give my mates a right treat if they come in, won't it?

I don't want you going round the pub looking like a rat bag.

- Tom, is that you? - Yes, it's me, love.

- Here's your holiday in the sun. - Who have you done?

I done a safe in Green's betting office.

- You didn't! - Yes.

- Listen, how much you got? - Should be £500 there.

'My name is Joy. I'm about five foot three.

'My measurements are 36, 24, 36. And English.

'My little baby's name's Jonny.

'He's quite a chubby little baby.

'And he cries a lot, most of all in the night.'

- Is she still...? - Still as nosey as ever!

Always got her head behind the curtains.

They're like that next door to me. I don't have nothing to do with them.

'I've got long hair and green eyes.

'My legs are a bit skinny, actually. I don't like my legs very much.

'The things I like most... are plenty of clothes and money!

'Well, I was born in Fulham and my mum had quite a few of us.

'She spent most of her time in the pub.

'My dad's a scaffold erector and he likes the women.

'Well, I fell in the family way when I was 18,

'and I got married... to a right bastard.

'Well, I didn't think so at the time, but I do now.'

- Trixie! - Hello.

Have you nearly finished?

- Only a few minutes. - Coming for a coffee?

Joy! Joy! No Joy in here, look! Here you are!

Hey, look, there's some fellas over there waving at you.

- Where? - Look, there.

It's my old man. What's he doing here? He should be at work.

Go on, say hello to him. I'll look after him.

- Yeah. - 'Ere you are, get yourself something.

- Well, give us it, then! - Well, take it, then!

- Take it, then. - Stop mucking about.

- Are you gonna give it to me? - Course I am. Don't snatch it, then!

Do something useful, getting hold of it.

Come on, give us it.

- Don't, Tom, it's not funny. - You give it to her.

'Passing the two-furlong marker. Then Greek Honey, Dr Blimba,

'New White and Tamarack.'

Turn that telly up, Joy.

You shouldn't have said that in front of my friend.

Friend? That monkey-faced git? I know how much of a friend she is to you.

She wouldn't give you nothing if you were down.

Tom, don't you dare say that!

She's my new friend!

Come to that, which of your friends would help you when you're down?

None of them. And I wouldn't ask them. And they wouldn't ask nothing of me.

Not even if I was starving or they were starving. Life's like that, isn't it?

- Is it? - Yeah.

- Turn it up, Joy. - I'm not turning it up.

- You'll turn it up. - No, I won't.

Look, I paid for it, you handle it, will you? Now turn it...

I am not turning the telly up. Why should I turn the telly up?

- Because you're my old lady! - Why can't you turn it up?

I'm not turning the telly up! You can get over there and turn it up yourself.

- Turn it up, Joy. - Make me.

- I'll make you. You won't be conscious. - You wouldn't dare.

- Get round there and turn it up. - You pig!

Fed like a pig here. Two cheese sandwiches a day.

It's all you deserve. Cos you're a lazy bugger, that's why!

I think, er... I think you ought to fill me in on it a bit, you know?

Tom, you can do that.

Yeah, well, I've weighed it up, you know, Dave.

There's definitely six grand in the Peter, or over, like, you know.

We'll have to have the keys of the safe off the Pole, the manager, he's got them,

and there'll be a bird in there with him of about 24, settler,

and a little fella, too.

There's three in there. We're gonna go in four-handed.

Well, the way we work, anyway, it's always worked,

the driver takes the car, he's responsible for the car angle.

- That's fair enough, really. - You gotta have a ringer.

I don't mind. I mean, you know...

- You've got one before, have you? - Well, that settles it.

I can get plates. I'm easy with plates, anything, you know.

I mean, when you think you're gonna come out with over a grand,

let's do it properly, fellas, or not at all.

Well, there won't be any worry about being seen. We'll be all masked up.

- What, stockings? - Yeah, you know.

You don't have stockings over your head, you pull them up,

stretch them a bit and wear them under your shirt.

As you run in the door, they're tied up. When we come out, they're tied up.

They can't see us. We can take our stockings off in the shop and walk out.

- Where you gonna have the car? - Second on the left. Must be.

Yeah. If it goes boss-eyed, he'll have to back up.

I've been making sandwiches.

Never mind about the sandwiches, love. Bring some more beer in, will you?

I don't think there is any more. Those are egg.

And those are cheese. You can have more egg but there's no more cheese.

There's enough eggs here to get rid of that lot.

I live on sandwiches round here.

Don't start that again.

She cooked dinner at Christmas, I thought Santa Claus had fell down the chimney.

You're asking for it.

Must be better than the grub in Wandsworth.

- Yeah. - See that rat run across my cocoa?

What beats me are those pots, like, you know.

And the smell. The slop out, like, is diabolical.

- Don't be filthy. Don't start. - I had four years of it!

- OK! Come on. - You're hurting my arm. Leave it.

- Come on. - Leave it.

Come on. There you are. Come on.

It'll be easier for you.

All right!

All right!

- Turn around, get in the car. - Go on.

Right, OK.

We had ten kids in two rooms, love.

My father was a drunkard.

- So was my mother. - Really?

Well, lots of women were then. So much to worry about.

Didn't have no decent furniture.

Rotten old kitchen table. You was lucky if you had one comfortable armchair.

- No! - Yeah.

And when there wasn't no money, they put your kids and you in the workhouse.

I'll have to give this line a rub down, it's made all my bloody washing dirty.

What's the landlord here like, Aunt Emm?

- He's a bit randy, love. - Randy?

Yeah. I owed him a couple of weeks rent one week.

He come to the door and said, "Well, Emm, it's two weeks. It's up to you."

- Up to you what? - Well, you know, I had no money.

- You're joking! - No, I'm not, darling, I'm serious.

So, anyway, I took him in for a half hour, you know.

- You didn't! - I had to, love

Did I tell you about the old man?

That nice old man downstairs? He gave Jonny a packet of sweets.

He might seem nice to you. That dirty old sod.

- What do you mean? - Never gets anyone to clean his place.

- It stinks as you walk by. - He can't help it. He's old.

Yes, but I mean, good God, the council would do something.

Well, I don't know. You can't expect it when they're old. They can't manage.

There you are. I mean, something should be done about him.

- They should put him in a home. - Yeah. Probably better.

'The next half hour, the focus will be on what's new for you

'as we gaze at the stars, with some forecasts for the future

'compiled especially for us by Wilhelmina, the famous clairvoyant.'

They don't know anything about pain.

I don't think they're capable of feeling pain, men. Do you?

- No, I don't. - No, they only use you to prop them up.

- Yeah. - They want you to think you need them.

You know, to pay for the bread and see the rent's done and all that.

It's all a big lie.

You can go to the Assistance Board any time, they'll give you the money.

I There's a pub in town called the Rose And Crown

I And one day I met Rosie there... I

- Give us a zip up, will you, love? - Yeah.

I get lots of offers now, you know, but I'm a bit nervous being on the change.

I'm gonna get myself put right and then I'm gonna really go to town.

It's gonna be all town and all, I can tell you.

'It's the Cancer constellation that's going to settle it for you.

'No worries, though, your luck's really in, especially with partnerships.'

Mind you, this one that's after me now, he's old, but he's good with it.

Elderly men I've got a lot of faith in.

I keep testing it. I say, "'Ere, do you love me?"

This bloody lash won't go on.

Why don't you put glue on it? You didn't put glue on it.

No, well, sometimes they stick on their own, you know, if I wink a bit.

That one's not too bad, is it? Blimey, look at the end.

It's stuck.

It won't come off.

Cor blimey! 'Ere, I'll take my eye out, I think.

Love, I've done it. I've done it.

Now, if I don't get myself a bloke, my name ain't Emm.

'Right-Alice, you say your birthday is on August 14th, my love,

'which makes you a Leo subject.

'The forecast for the rest of the week isn't too bad,

'as long as you present yourself as you really are.

'Don't play a part which doesn't suit you. OK? Not a bad outlook at all, is it?

'And now a card from Mrs Pat Samuels of Rainbow's End near Chester.

'How are you today, Mrs Samuels? All right I should think.'

Are my earrings straight, love?

I You don't have far to go

I Don't let your sadness show

I Something's coming along for...

Anyway, shall I bring you back a little Guinness, darling, or a nice ale?

A nice bag of crisps?

No? Well, don't wait up for me, love, cos I might be a bit late.

Ta-ta, Jonny. Ta-ta, darling. Ta-ta.

'You're one of those people who create an intriguing first impression.

'And it looks as if it could be a very promising week for you.'

Don't say I never give you nothing, will you?

You're mad. You'll get nicked. Fancy doing that.

Come here. I've told you before and I won't tell you again.

Come and sit down, you naughty boy.

Chasing around after you all day. I just wanna come out and have a bit of peace.

It's freezing cold, as well.

What were you saying about walking down the Edgware Road?

Well, all of a sudden, I was, er, bursting to have a...

- What? - A slash.

And, of course, no toilets around,

so I broke into this boarding house,

I thought there'd be a toilet on the landing.

- Yeah. - Well, there wasn't.

And I broke into this room.

I had no intention of pinching nothing.

No, no, straight up! Anyway, I saw this tom box.

- So I open it up, 250 nicker in there. - No!

Right. And the room was like, it was like a treasure chest.

There was money everywhere, all in wage packets. Disgusting.

So I took the lot. 400.

So that's why we're here, is it? A treat?

Yeah. Call it a treat, yeah.

It's not much of a treat. Look at his little nose! It's blue!

No, it'll do him good, a bit of fresh air.

I don't like fresh air. It's not good for the skin.

No, they reckon there's very good air where there's trees. There's more oxygen.

Cos they breathe out oxygen like we breathe out... the other.

Here we go, then.

- Car. - There you go.

- Do you know who rides in there? - Car.

That's where the chauffeur sits, you see. The man with the hat, he's the chauffeur.

And that man and that woman in the back is the Duke and the Duchess.

Dave? This kitchen's filthy!

You be Yogi Bear, right?

And I'll be... a burglar.

- There you are. - Thank you, love.

I got this flat from my brother.

- Yeah? - When he was nicked.

- Do you know something, Dave? - What?

You could make this place look really nice.

Get a nice pair of cottagey curtains up there,

you know, those sort of chintzy ones with the flowers on.

Paint it all white. It'd look nice white.

I'll come and give you a hand. Do you like football?

Yeah.

I support Fulham, you know.

I always follow them. Even when I was inside, I used to follow the results.

I don't like footballers. They're not very handsome, are they, most of them?

Dunno. They're pretty muscular, you know, they've got great legs.

I don't like muscular men.

- Don't you? - No.

I thought you...

Can I have a look at one of your comics?

Yeah. What do you want? Er...

Lois Lane, featuring Superman and his girl.

You better make the first move

or we'll be here all night.

- Where are you going? - I'm shutting the world out.

- You haven't half got bony knees. - Yeah, I'm sorry.

Does it run in the family?

I didn't get that cod liver oil when I was a kid, you see.

I Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair

- Very good! - You like that?

- That was very good! - Yeah?

- Yeah! - Getting better, ain't I?

You are!

Dave!

Dave, I can't get out. Come and get these bleeding sheep out the way.

What? I'm frightened! Come and get them out.

Frightened of what?

- What, a load of bleeding sheep? - Don't be rotten.

Just walk through 'em!

I can't, I'm bleeding terrified!

They all look like your Aunt Emm, anyway.

- That's nice! - Just run through 'em!

- They're sheep! They'll run away! - Sod it!

YOU pig!

Now you'll have to go and get the bucket. I'm not getting it.

There you are, that one's for Jonny. Here, Dave!

Right. Now then, Jonno.

- Don't give it to him! It's too hot! - Well, what did you give it to me for?

- You said it's for Jonny. - Look, leave him alone. There's yours.

You have to eat it with a spoon cos I ain't got any forks.

Got any salt?

- It needs some salt. - Why don't you leave me alone?

You had the salt last. I don't know where it is.

- What's the matter with it? - There's a bleeding hair in it!

Well, it's not mine!

Lovely, innit, your hair in tinned soup? Fantastic.

It's not my hair! It must've got in at the factory.

Yeah.

It's the best tinned stewed steak there is, this.

Yeah, you can say that again.

- Well, make it yourself, then! - That's great, innit?

Yeah, it's great soup all over my bleeding hair.

Fantastic.

All over my bleeding hair.

Silly cow.

God. Well, get something, then! Don't sit there bleeding laughing!

- Go and get a cloth or something! - Well, you shouldn't have a go at me.

- You asked for that, you did. - I didn't want it over my head!

'Then we came across this great big waterfall.

'I don't know what the place was called.

'And it really was, it was fantastic.

'And all the water came from the mountain,

'like a great big rushing cascade.

'It wasn't a dream. It really did.

'And we had it right on the top of this waterfall.

'You know when you stand up there and you look down

'and you can see all that green and the moss and the rocks?

'It was terrific.

'It was, you know, just one of those mad things.

'Little Jonny, he was asleep under the tree.

- You're married. - Yeah.

And you're not married. You're a bit muddled.

You're making changes. You have a child.

You're not in your own home.

But you're going to move and travel about a lot.

You've had a lot of experience.

You've cried a lot, you've been through a lot of hardships.

- But you're in love with someone else. - Yeah.

And you wished on that particular person for happiness,

prospects of your own life to come.

But you regard you to the older days, to be more freer in mind and more happy

and settled into your future than you are at the present moment.

What about this man that you were telling me about?

Does he... Will we be together? Will we stay together?

- The man called Dave? - Yeah.

You'll be together with him in time. Not just yet.

Something is gonna happen before that will come true.

But it will come true and you'll marry him.

- I'll marry him, will I? - Yes.

I'm not gonna tell you all honey. I wouldn't like to. God forbid.

You're a good living girl in many ways,

but you've been brought astray because you married too young.

Yeah.

You was told and you walked into it with your own eyes open.

You've got nobody to blame for it, only yourself.

And you weren't married a fortnight, but you knew you made a mistake

and you shed tears, yet you're hoping you've broke away now for the best.

So I wish you all the happiness you're looking for, the luck you're looking for

and the prospects in the man that you're going to marry. Good luck to you.

Me, clean? I'm spotless, ain't I?

- You could eat your dinner off my back. - Yeah?

Yeah. Friday nights, anyway.

- Who you going with? - Peter and Bernie.

- Christ! - Sorry, was it a bit cold?

A bit cold?

- You'll suffer in the end. - No. Come on, give us the soap.

- What time are you gonna be in? - I don't know.

Let's see. Not too difficult sort of gaff to get into.

I reckon in and out, a couple of hours. Should be back here by midnight.

Yeah, don't forget to get me some nice sovereigns, gold ones.

Well, I'll try, love.

You know, not always made to order.

'Ere!

What did you mean by that last remark?

What do you mean? No, please don't!

Giving her a right walloping, isn't he?

Don't laugh!

You shut up, you old cow! The lot of you!

And you up there! What's it got to do with you?

Don't open the curtain too wide, I've got nothing on.

- Don't be silly. - You'll expose my three-piece suite.

'Dave was planning this big jewel robbery.

'Ten days after we came back from Wales, it was.

'Life with Dave was just a series of treats.

'In the mornings, he'd always make a cup of tea and bring it back to bed.

'And if little Jonny was awake, well, he'd come in our bed and have some, too.

'Then in the afternoons, we'd go for a nice walk in the park.'

- Hello, love. - Hello.

- What did you get? - Lots of goodies.

Did you? Let's have a look.

- There you go. - Smashing!

- Fantastic? - Yeah.

There's about 80 grand's worth there.

- But, er... - That's a bit flash, innit?

She was there, unfortunately.

- We locked her up in a cupboard. - No, you didn't.

- There you are, that's for you. - Hey, that's nice.

I like that. Is it amber or something?

- Something like that. - How's that?

Fine. She's all right, though. We gave her a cup of tea afterwards.

- Did you? - Yeah.

That's smashing. That's a nice one. I like that.

- Let's put it on. - Fantastic, innit?

Yeah, I think that really suits me. Don't you?

You all three stand convicted

of a craven and cowardly assault on a defenseless old lady.

Because you were told that she would be away for the weekend,

you broke into her flat,

expecting to find a considerable sum in jewellery there.

Well, your information was incorrect because the old lady was there.

And your first act on entering

was to order her to take off a valuable diamond ring she was wearing.

And when her knuckles proved too swollen for her to remove it,

you threatened to rip it off.

Having thus reduced her to a state of quivering terror,

she was then struck violently across the head

and locked unconscious in her bathroom.

The effects of that savage blow were such

that she is today almost totally blind.

You then left the flat, taking with you jewellery

to a value of approximately £100,000.

Society is constantly menaced today

by people of your kidney.

You, David Fuller,

have an appalling history of crime

and your record is a very, very bad one indeed.

You have had every opportunity of amending your ways.

Society has given you every chance.

At the age of 13,

you were put on probation for stealing lead.

At 16, were sent to an approved school for robbing a tobacconist.

At 19, you went to Borstal for assaulting a policeman.

Your previous convictions include six cases of larceny,

one previous case of robbery with violence,

one case of possessing firearms without a license,

four cases of car theft.

You, as the ringleader of this group, David Fuller,

I sentence to 12 years in prison.

'Today I was so shocked, it seemed like the end of the world.

'12 years is certainly a long time, but it's not the end, Dave.

'Please, love... try and face it.

'I know you'll be by yourself for a long time.

'But I'll be out here waiting for you.

'And we'll still get married one day.'

What do you do when a customer comes up to you?

When he comes in, he'll come up to the bar and you say, "Can I help you, sir?"

Then supposing he says, "Well, I'll have a light ale."

You get him a light ale and you take his money.

And then he might say to you, "Would you like one yourself?"

So you say, "Yes, please!"

You cop your money and you get yourself a drink.

Mind you, if you don't fancy one, don't say no.

Cop the money anyway and tell him you'll have one later. See?

If he gets stroppy, leave him. Just walk off.

- You've got your reputation to think of. - Yeah.

Sometimes you get fellas in here who've got a few bob.

If you get one of those, you wanna hang onto them. Serve them first.

All sweet smiles and that. Give them the works.

Make them think they're marvellous, even if they're black.

They do most of the chatting themselves.

All you've gotta do is say yes in the right place.

I'm sure I'm gonna get it all ballsed up.

You won't. You'll be all right.

- Bottle of Worthington, please. - OK, love.

I'm sorry about that. You'll have to have the rest later. You don't mind, do you?

'Well, my love, I'm now sitting at number eight writing this letter.

'God, I've never felt so lonely in all my life.

'With two chairs and our little coffee table. Joe's one.

'I'm just waiting for Joe, if he can make it.

'And also, a man is gonna buy our cooker, I hope.

'Now I will think of all our happy times.

'Do you remember the night we put the curtains up?

'They're gone now.

'And our shelf with all the flowerpots. Cactuses.

'And me always knocking them down.

'I found the truck you made for Jonny.

'I'm gonna keep it.

'I wish they would hurry up and come, so I could talk to someone.

'But I mustn't forget you're by yourself all the time.

'Are you still cleaning your teeth and rubbing your shoes up?

'Black mark if you're not.

'By the way, my little love, have you been keeping your promises?

'No dog ends on the floor. Have you?

'Also, Jenny's got a terrapin.

'It's like a tortoise.

'He lives in the water. His name's Bill.

'I'll be so glad when next year comes.

'By the way, I know everything in barmaiding now.

'I'm getting good.

'I can't get varicose veins, can I?

'I'd die if I got those.

'You know, they never did come and do the TV, did they?

'Auntie Emm's driving me mad, as usual.

'How about that night when we had the party?

'And you went off with them and I kept crying cos I thought you'd left me.

'And you came back and cuddled me and said you loved me

'and you'd never leave me.

'Do you remember that, Dave?

'It makes me feel... I dunno.

'By the end of the week, it'll all be gone.

'Then all we have is each other.

'But that's the main thing, us.

'Well, darling, I'll be closing now.

'I must have a wash for the last time in number eight.

'And remember,

'no-one took your place at number eight.

'That's not meant bad.

'You understand what I mean.'

...about the time I was a maid to a prostitute?

- No. - Talk about a laugh.

I had to stay in this flat and take the messages over the phone.

Once or twice, I pinched one of her customers.

She didn't know and they was only little ones.

- What do you mean, little fellas? - No, little customers!

Didn't come very often.

You know, the kinky types that want to beat you with plastic roses.

I used to get them off the Daz packets.

One of those rubber ones that makes you sweat and you lose weight?

- No! Just an ordinary little... - Do me a favour, darling.

- Put the cigarettes out. - Why?

I agree on principle we require such an incomes policy.

You agree to anything.

No, the trouble is, it's operating against the working man.

Look, this one, it's in my way. I can't put my beer down.

- I can't reach it from here. - Go on, go on, I'll give you a hand.

That was a bit naughty. You haven't half got some form.

- Cor! - You asked me to do it, didn't you?

What's your name?

- Joy. - Joy. The name for pleasure.

Listen, is your old man, is he on night work?

- Yeah. - I'll see you tonight if you like.

- Have you got any booze in? - I can get some.

- Well, that's a good idea. - All right.

I'll give you a demonstration then. I don't wanna do it out in the open.

What... What...!

You're not too old, are you?

I've been clocking you.

And I... No, serious.

- Do you like Chinese? - I love it, yeah.

This bottle's been opened. There's something wrong with this bottle.

- You better take it back. - There's nothing wrong with it!

- I just opened it. You watched me do it. - It's no good. I can't drink it.

- Why not? - I don't know. There's something wrong.

Cos you've had too much, that's why! If you don't want it, leave it!

- What's the matter? - I don't know.

I'm fed up with this place. I've just about had enough.

If that modelling don't turn out, I'm going up west and turning professional.

- Why don't you come? - No, I couldn't, Beryl.

- Why not? - I enjoy it too much.

If I turned professional, I'd lose the pleasure of it.

- What can I do for you, love? - Hello, Blondie. Half a bitter, please.

- Still here, then? - Yeah.

- Thought you might have gone by now. - I haven't seen you in here.

- I know, but I've seen you. - Have you?

- Hurry up. I'm a bit thirsty. - Don't rush me.

That's my line, see? Rushing about.

- Early morning baker round. - One and a penny.

Gotta get the bread round before it all goes, you know?

My speciality, actually. Breakfast in bed.

Tell you what, you give me your number and I'll be round in the morning

- with some nice rolls. How's that? - Don't forget, will you?

- No, of course I won't forget. - Bring some butter cos I ain't got any.

- You haven't got butter? - No.

- Anything else you want? - You can take me shopping.

- We could have it away. - Well, now, now, behave yourself.

I'll tell Beryl if you ain't careful.

Are you sure I haven't got too much make-up on?

Show us. No, you look handsome and all.

No, but it might be a bit overdone for photographs.

Course it won't! You have to have it overdone for photographs.

All right, then.

Beryl, there's loads of them.

- Well? - I can't face it. I'm nervous.

Don't be silly. It'll be all right, I tell you.

You've seen this girl before. She can do far better poses than that.

It's the way he's got her draped. Now, that's not bad.

She shouldn't be draped at all, actually.

- Well, all right, so... - I don't come here to do them draped.

- What do you come here for? - Just to pass a Sunday morning away.

- You put film in the camera, don't you? - No! Do you?

- Yes. - No, I never put film in the camera.

- Why not? - Well, it's a waste of time.

The girls are ready. Right, can I have your attention, gentlemen, for a minute?

Well now, the models we've got for you tonight are Joy and Beryl.

Beryl you know. Joy is a newcomer, so be patient with her for a little while.

But they're prepared to pose this way and that and a bit of how's your father,

so we should have a good session.

And any beginner having trouble with your equipment, ask me.

- Hello. - Hi, darling. How are you?

You all know Beryl, don't you? And this is Joy, the newcomer.

- Hi, Joy. - Hello. Welcome.

Well, what do you want?

What about something with the umbrella, get it started off?

- Here you are. - Right. Ta.

- What do you want me to do with this? - Well, put it up, for a start.

Darling, can you do something evil with that handle?

- Lovely. - Lick your lips, girls.

Can you get very close together? Two heads together.

And then the hands out. You know, put your hands out, feeling the rain.

It's pouring down outside. That's it. Smashing.

And can we have the pout of the mouth and the big eyes?

And look towards me, girls, please. That's great. Smashing.

Very good.

Beryl, this shot, take your... that's right, slightly off the shoulder.

Wait a minute. That's very nice. Now droop it down a bit there.

- Take the dress off. - That's beautiful.

I want to get that.

Now give me a look as though I'm the lowest form of animal life.

- Has anybody got a whip? - That's lovely.

- Finished now, mate? - Yeah, give us a hand up.

Hey! That's it.

- Cor blimey! - Bloody hell!

That's it.

Let's see you show a bit more of your leg, love.

Gorgeous.

Now what about one just afterwards? You know, all...

- Limped. - Remembering.

- Remembering what? - Let's have you remembering now.

Wait a minute, then.

- Give us nice and sweet. - Come round here. That's it.

- Give us a nice steely look. - Now a come and get me look.

Pull your stomach in a bit, Joy. Lovely.

That's better. Yeah.

- Right round. - Right round.

Huddle in, huddle in. That's right.

Hold it there.

I don't know what she's trying to hide, it's very nice.

- Push them up. - I could do this all night.

- Got it? - Yeah.

- And then drape it down the bosom. - All right.

- Nice. Like that. - Can we have a saucy smile?

That's right, just leave a little bit of cleavage. Right.

Saucy smile now. Lovely. Head back a bit.

I want you on the side of the wicker chair now.

Put your behind on it.

- Your behind on the wicker. - No, you can't...

No, you can't... No, don't sit like that, darling.

You can't ask a girl to sit on a wicker chair.

- Why not? - She'll mark all her bottom!

That's lovely. Have a giggle, go on. That's it, lovely.

You're all after my smile, ain't you?

Yeah, well, you should see my old woman.

If you could turn round with just your hands over the nipples.

Can we just try that?

No, no, the right hand on the right one, the left hand on the left one.

Sort of like this. No, the other way.

The other hand on the other one. That's it, yeah.

- Now turn round. - Good. No, a bit...

Can we just see a bit more? A little less hand? That's it.

- Yeah. Lovely! Yeah. - If you can, spread your fingers out.

Lift your, your fur round.

Much lower. Much lower. Much lower.

So you just get a little bit showing on the top of your breast.

That's it. That's it.

That's nice. A nice, warm smile.

That's it. Lovely, yeah! That's it!

- Yes! - Lovely! Hold it. Good girl, yes.

- Get out the way. - Push them up a bit, girl. That's it.

- Lovely! - That's it.

- Hold it. - Looks like one of those snowdrops.

Don't make me laugh.

Who's that?.

You little bugger.

Can't we have a bit of peace in the morning? Come on.

I want my trousers.

Hello.

I bet your mum won't half be pleased.

Jonny? Jonny, you haven't taken my hairpiece, have you?

If that dog from downstairs has had it, I'll kill him.

Jonny! Now, you listen to me, Jonny.

You tell me where it is because I can't go out without it. Now, where is it?

You can't leave a thing in this poxy hole.

Now, listen, I'm telling you, I'm not gonna give you any more sweeties,

no more ice creams, nothing, until you tell me where that hairpiece is!

You have got it! You naughty little boy! Now, where did you get that from?

Look at the state it's in! I'll never be able to wear it again!

That cost me five and 11!

Jonny, you're very, very naughty! Naughty boy!

It's you. I was having a lie in, you know? You got me up.

I know you was having a lie in. I saw Aunt Emm and Jonny going down the road.

- Did you, bright eyes? - I've got eyes out the back of my head.

- Yeah. I know what you want. - What?

A cup of tea. Come on. I've just made some.

Do to be going on with, I suppose.

Blimey, don't you have any of that chunky marmalade stuff?

- What? - I can't stand that jelly marmalade.

- Little Jonny likes it. - No, I like it with all the bits in.

- No, I don't fancy that. - As much as possible.

- What? - As much as possible.

Here, this'll do you good.

- Two, isn't it? - Yeah.

Yes.

You're a bit late this morning, ain't you?

Yeah. Well, I had the money to collect, see?

Surprised I'm here by now.

- I don't believe you. - It's true.

Hold on!!

I've got butter and crumbs all in my earhole!

Back of my jacket and all!

There'll be trouble if anyone sees that.

Lovely.

Do you know, I ain't had breakfast in bed since I had the flu.

I know exactly who you went outwith!

- You do, do you? - Are you gonna tell me?

Look, it's got nothing to do with you who I went outwith!

It's got nothing to do with me?

Well, go on! Go on! Get out!

Look, I don't owe anything to you. You're not a steady boyfriend of mine.

- You made a date with me, right? - Yeah, big deal.

- And you didn't turn up. - No, I didn't.

I had something better to do, that's why!

You've got something better to do now, get out of this building!

Don't you talk to me like that! Do you know what you are?

You're just a silly little boy.

- Am I? Am I a silly little boy? - Yes! You're a silly little boy!

And you're a slut!

- Don't call me a silly little boy. - That's what you are!

I don't wanna see your ugly face!

Ugly face? You wanna look at your own bloody face!

Shut up!

Shut your trap.

They're talking about this new parole system.

- Yeah? - And they reckon that

you'd only have to do one third of your sentence,

which means I'll only have to do four years, you see? If it goes through.

Do you reckon you can hang on four years?

Of course. Look, Dave, I've told you.

Every time I write a letter to you, I tell you.

Yeah, I know, but really, I mean really.

Of course I'll hang on, love. I've done it before. Why can't I do it again?

- What have you been doing? - Nothing really.

Cos I don't ask, doesn't...

...doesn't mean I don't care, you know?

I'm very possessive, really.

I try not to be... because I'm in here.

But...

Look, love, I know you're possessive.

And I understand that.

But you're the governor.

Will you tell my mum I'll write to her tomorrow?

Yeah. I'll pop round and see her. I saw her last week.

- Did you? - Yeah. She's had her hair permed.

She's in a right state. It's gone all frizzy and it's started to fall out.

You wouldn't half laugh if you could see her.

He wants me to be like a nun. Well, I mean, I don't feel like a nun.

You don't look like a nun.

They're all the same.

Well, I don't know what he expects, Beryl.

I mean, I can't go for another 11 years without a man, can I?

- Do you know what? - What?

I'm gonna start evening classes in September.

What for?

Elocution. I think that's what they call it, anyway.

They teach you how to talk properly and some other thing I can't remember.

Well, what do you want to learn all that for?

- Well, I wanna speak nice. - Well, you speak nice.

I don't. I speak quite nice, but it's much better if I could speak like you.

- Why? - Well, you speak nice.

- Do I? - You can get a better job

and you can meet nicer people if you speak nice.

What do you mean nicer people? You are in my flat. I'm nice.

Well, I'm one of the lucky ones, aren't I?

Yeah.

Do you like these tights I've got on?

- Yeah, they're lovely. - I think they're marvellous.

- You got a ladder? - No, I've got a little black smudge.

- I don't know what it is. - Funny place to have a black smudge.

- But you know what I'd really like? - What?

I'd like one of them body stockings.

- A what? - A body stocking!

- What's a body stocking? - Well, you just have, you know,

it's a bit like this petticoat, really, I suppose,

but without this bit round the bottom.

That'd be handy.

You don't have to wear a bra or anything underneath them.

It goes right up, then, does it?

- I like this staircase. - So do I.

It's a bit dangerous, though, innit?

I lost the soap!

I really lost it.

- What are you gonna do about it? - Well, I dunno.

What do you want me to do about it?

Well, you could amble down here and give me a hand to find it.

- You did it on purpose, didn't you? - Now, I wouldn't do a thing like that.

- What part of the bath is it in? - The wet part.

- In the wet part? - Yeah.

In the water. It's only a small piece.

- You mean it's under the water? - Yes!

- Is it down that end or up there? - It's about mid.

- In the middle? - Yeah.

- Just down there. - Just down there.

- Careful! - That's not it, is it?

- No, that's not it. - Well, where is it?

There. You'll be able to tell when...

- That's it. - No, that's one of my digits.

- It's not there. - Yes, it's there somewhere.

That's freezing! Don't be...

Mrs Steadman,

there are five grounds on which you can bring an action for divorce.

There's incurable insanity, which means that one of the partners to the marriage

has been under the care of a doctor for five years.

There are sexual of fences on the part of the husband,

which include such things as sodomy, bestiality and rape.

Yeah.

There is desertion after three years of marriage.

- There is adultery. You understand? - Yeah.

And there is cruelty, both physical and mental.

Now, on what grounds do you wish to bring this action of divorce?

- Well, cruelty, really. - Cruelty.

- Yeah. - I see.

Could you perhaps give me some details?

Well, he used to beat me up, you know?

- I see. Physical brutality. - Yeah, physical.

And what about mental cruelty? That is cruelty which could be said...

Well, both, really. I mean, it was mental and physical.

Yes. I see.

He nearly drove me mad.

Tell me, what's your present job, Mrs Steadman?

Well, I work in a pub at the moment.

But, I mean, I can't go every day because of my little boy, you see?

I earn about a fiver a week and I make it do.

Well, I mean, I pay one club one week, and then when I've paid that,

it's my turn to buy something for myself, then it's Jenny's turn, then my turn.

Really, then, you live, or should I say exist on £5 a week.

Yeah, that's right. Do you know, people say to me,

"Joy, I don't know how you do it."

And do you know, the only little luxury I have

is if a fella gives me a couple of quid.

"If a fella gives me a couple of quid." I see.

Yeah. And that, to me, is marvellous.

Mrs Steadman... I must ask you at this stage in the proceedings...

...whether in fact you have ever committed an indiscretion.

Well... Well, only once.

- I mean, that was through frustration. - Good. Just the one occasion?

Yes. Well, I mean, I'm not really that way inclined.

Now, tell me, I assume that you like being well-dressed, buying pretty...

- Do you mind if I smoke? - No, please do.

You know, you like spending money, in fact, do you?

Yes. I love to dress up.

But don't you think, Mr Pinker, that love is the most important thing?

- No, I mean, don't you, really? - Well, l...

Love and happiness is the most important thing.

If you haven't got love, well, what have you got? Nothing.

I mean, money isn't really important.

I mean, it's important to me at the moment,

but that's only cos I can't have Dave, you see?

You know, I like to dress up and make myself look nice.

Does your wife like to look nice and dress herself up?

Well, as a matter of fact, I live with my mother.

You're a bachelor, then.

Yes. Yes.

- Hello. Good afternoon. - Isn't he sweet?

- Do you like hairy men? - No, I don't!

I like them hairy. I reckon they're handsome.

- Hairy all over? - Yeah.

- What, all over? - All over!

Funny, innit, how you get to know the way fellas would like it?

Here, see him?

Proper dead. Not a bit interested.

Him? Now, he'd love it, but he's scared stiff.

- You can see that. - You'd love it, wouldn't you, blossom?

- Shut up, Beryl! - See, I told you.

Look at him. He's gorgeous.

Lovely. I bet he's got some muscles somewhere.

And I wouldn't half like to get my hands on 'em.

Beryl, look at that girl. Isn't she pretty?

Why is it all these girls look so soft and I look so hard? I never used to.

Leave off.

Here, look at that one. He's the type would murder you first

and hang you in a cupboard before he'd have a thing to do with you.

- You think he would? - Look at his eyes. You can tell.

- He is a bit funny. - Look at this one.

He looks as though he's got a bit of money to me.

You're soft. Do you know that?

You talk about Jonny and your house in the country.

You're never gonna make it. You give it away, don't you?

- No. - Yes, you do. You give it away.

Well, I know I do. But I get carried away.

You know, I see some fella in the bar, his moustache catches my eye,

and I get this funny little throb in my stomach.

Sex mad, you are.

Well, it's like some magnet drawing you together.

That's before he's even touched me, mind you.

You know, accidental, like. He might brush my arm or something like that.

- Then I've had it. I can't help it. - You're a right lust pot, you are.

♬ Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man

♬ Bake me a cake as soon as you can

♬ Pat it and bake it... I Mind you don't fall off the bed.

Come here. Come here. No, come in to me a bit more.

That's it. How are we doing? Come on.

Come on.

- How's little Jonny? - He's a little sod.

He gets up in the middle of the night and gets in my bed.

He keeps wetting the bed. I wake up in the middle of the night

and I feel a great warm river flowing towards me.

It's all them bottles, you know?

He shouldn't really still be on bottles. He's... He's nearly three, isn't he?

Yeah. But, I mean, you wouldn't like it

if you was thirsty and you couldn't have a drink, would you?

Anyway, it's a comfort to him.

- Let him be happy while he's young. - Yeah.

It's bleeding horrible when you're grown up.

Don't say that, Dave.

I mean... we've had some happy times, haven't we?

Yeah.

It was worth it to me, being alive just for them six months.

I mean, you know what they're like. We're not people. We're monkeys.

"Oi, monkey!" You know what I mean?

Inspection comes round, looks at the place, gobs on the floor,

"Clean it up, you monkey!"

And I kept thinking of you spending Christmas with Tom.

Tom?

Don't start bringing him into it. I'm not gonna see Tom.

I don't wanna be with Tom at Christmas.

All I shall do at Christmas is think of you.

- He's coming out soon. I just thought... - Dave.

Why don't you trust me?

This, er... I heard from this fella

that he'd seen you in a pub with a geezer.

I work in a pub, don't I?

I have lots of drinks with the fellas.

He reckoned he took you home, you see.

In his car.

He only gave me a lift.

Well, I don't know that. I mean, I just...

If you go home in the car with a fella, then...

I just wanna know one way or the other, that's all.

I mean, if you have, you know, and...

I'd rather not see you anymore, that's all. I... It's...

It's difficult enough as it is. If you're coming here to see me

and having drinks with fellas and... running about in their cars, I just...

...would rather not see you at all. That's all.

Because I feel foolish. I feel foolish sitting here talking to you. And...

Do you see?

Don't you want me to come and see you anymore, then?

You know the trouble with you, Dave, don%you?

You listen to other people.

You mustn't take notice of everything anybody says to you.

It's just I, I...

For months I work out how it's gonna be when you come, how great it's gonna be.

I work out in my mind how I'm gonna keep telling you I love you

and then it's always like this and I haven't said it once yet.

- Have you been coming long? - Yes.

The first time I came, he was sitting out in the grounds.

And as he saw me, he started to cry his eyes out.

That started me off. Then we were both crying our eyes out.

He has to stay in for a while, Dave, he's doing a painting job.

He won't be out till it's finished. It's government, secret job.

Why's he wearing those funny clothes?

It's just a uniform so the spies don't get him.

- It's a job to know what to say. - Dear!

The court's taken my home away.

How can I afford to pay £7 a month on £5 a week?

By the time I've paid the rent, all I've got is 25 bob assistance.

If it wasn't for my mum, I don't know what I'd do.

I had to pawn my wedding ring after I'd seen him.

Before the next visit, I have to get it out again.

If I had anything else to pawn, I'd pawn that, don't you worry.

'Hello, boys and girls. How are you feeling this sunny afternoon?

'Welcome to the show. We've got a great line-up of records for you.'

'It's not so good here without you.

'Dave, do you remember when I bent down

'and you slapped my bum with that stick? It didn't half hurt.'

♬ I said I loved you

♬ But I lost my head over you

♬ I said I loved you

♬ But I lost my mind over you ♬

'Do you remember when we went to that pub and they asked me to sing?

'It was terrible. You made me go all red!'

♬ Since you went away

♬ My world fell down ♬

- My spade, look! - Go and get your spade! Go on!

- Quick, before somebody takes it. - That's not his spade.

Come on. I'll go and get it. Come on.

'Dave, we'll both make it up to each other one day.

'And I'll be a good wife.

'A proper mum, too.

'I love you so much.

'Without you and your love, I'd be lost.

'You don't know how true that is, Dave.'

♬ Let's go

♬ Sunshine... ♬

Let me put my cape round my shoulders.

Stop moaning.

Come on. Hold my hand.

♬ Lots of sunny people ♬

'Every day that passes, I think to myself,

'another day nearer to Dave.

'And even if we can't have each other now,

'we'll have each other in the end.

'I believe that and I always will.'

I'm freezing.

'How about that? A little flower power from The Flowerpot Men.'

Sit up there. That's it.

'...listen to a beautiful song now from Miss Julie Grant

'and it's called My World ls Empty Without You.'

'Dave, do you remember the Punch and Judy show at Blackpool?

'And you put two and six in instead of tuppence?'

Stop it, Jonny.

'You know, Tom comes out in three months. I shan't go back with him.

'I'll keep on with my divorce.

'Don't worry. Our time will come one day.

'You've gotta have patience.'

I Why did you have to make me blue?

I My world is empty without you I

'And believe me, being away from you

'is really killing me.

'Our whole happiness gone down the drain, 12 years.

'Do you remember that midnight walk you took me for?

'And we saw that star move?

'I forgot to tell you,

'we did have some lovely times.

'I remember us trying to have it in the back of a car. Do you remember?

'I only like it in comfort. We were staying at the hotel.

'And me worrying about the sheets. And you taking a nail brush.'

A bit greasy, these chips, aren't they?

'Do you remember Norfolk? Jonny picked me some daisies.

'We never took no photos.

'Still, not to worry.

'We could lose our photos but not our memories.

'We've got them for ever and ever.'

Come on, stop dreaming and eat up.

S00... S00 wanted to paint the ceiling white.

But Sooty was a naughty bear and liked to paint it all different colours.

So while Soo took all the furniture out of the house,

Soo landed on two empty boxes, a plank of wood.

He began to paint with his big brush.

Then his blue, then his yellow, and all sorts of colours.

Mind out of the way, love. I wanna get down the stairs.

Come on, let's go and see who that is at the door.

- Perhaps it's the postman? - Yeah.

Hello, Joy.

It's you. I didn't think you was coming out until tomorrow.

- I wrote and told you, love. - No, I don't remember.

- What do you want? - I've come round to see the kid.

Well, I don't know. I mean, I've got divorce proceedings going on.

I want to see the kid. I don't want a pint of blood, love.

I can't stand here, can I?

Well, come in and have a cup of tea. I can't refuse you that, can I?

All right, son?

Now, don't mess about, Jonny. Be good.

Jenny's real dad's home.

Emm? It's him. He wants a cup of tea.

Can you put the kettle on?

She's got another man coming up there again!

I see you've got your binoculars out.

Mind your own business, you nosy old mare!

I'm not gonna mind my own business! I'm gonna tell the landlord!

I don't know if this is the Hilton or the Dorchester. What is it?

The state of this place. Look what you've come to.

Well, it's all right. I mean, I'm happy here. He's been happy here.

Joy, be honest. Take a look round at it.

Disgusting. And as for that road out there, it's like a 200-yard toilet.

I'm telling you.

It looks like a baked bean advert, all the cans out there and everything.

Tom, shut up with all your funny jokes.

I've had enough of it. Just come out with what you wanna tell me.

Don't come round here giving me all that.

I'm not being funny, love. Can't you see I've had enough, me, love?

You know all I want is, you know, a chance at the start, that's all.

I haven't come round here to argue. You started screeching, not me, love.

It's the last thing I want to do is argue.

Listen, I've got the keys to Lennie's place, anyway.

Do you remember the one with the apricot curtains and the carpet?

There's three bedrooms and a bathroom, love, if you want it.

You know, if you want to give it a try, we can go over there.

- I don't know, Tom. - You've got to do it for Jonny's sake, Joy.

It's not really even up to you, is it?

I want all new furniture for the new place, Tom.

- Psychedelic curtains and that? - Can I have it?

Course you can. What do you think I brought you down here for?

We're having every stick of furniture out of that slum you got down there.

Hey, that's nice. I like that.

- It's faded. It's faded. - It's lovely.

- It's like Caribbean decorators' gear. - I like that, Tom.

- How about that one in the bedroom? - Brass's carpet, love.

- A brass's carpet? - Yeah.

I think it's smashing.

Tom, shall we have another baby?

What, have all that aggravation and screeching all night, love?

- What aggravation? - Well, it was murder, wasn't it, love?

Aww, I'd love a little girl. I'd call her Debbie. Do you like that name?

- Debbie? Yeah, it's all right, innit? - Yeah. I think it's smashing.

I can just see her now, tottering down the road in a little pink frock

with all her bum showing.

There you are, Jenny.

You seen this in the paper?

Some fella did a smash and grab.

He got away with £50,000 worth of jewels.

Why don't you go up west again? Here, have a look.

Some people have got more chance of earning money up west than me.

Anyway, you just can't do that on your own. He's not a burglar, the geezer.

You need a ringer. You need, like, two-handed, you need a...

Well, you need money. You gotta have money to do something like that.

Well, why don't you ask Jim and Bunter to lend you some?

Jim and Bunter wouldn't give me anything, Joy.

Nobody would give me anything. What have I ever give to anybody?

People, if you've got no dough, you're nobody.

You've got no money, people don't want to know you.

- You got money, you're Jack the lad. - Look at my knees. I paint my toenails

then I forget to wash my knees. I dunno know what's wrong with me.

Here, did you hear about that Jimmy Baxter? He got off.

Do you know how he got out of that, love? It cost him £200.

He give the flying squad, one of the flying squad, £200.

- Well, what do you mean? - He give it to him.

He give it to him so as not to give evidence.

- Ain't you ever heard of that, Joy? - Well, I have, yeah.

Do you know last time I got nicked, I sent you round to Lennie to borrow money?

- Yeah. - The money wasn't for you, Joy.

If Lennie had given me the money, I would never have done that last lot of jail.

Well, I didn't know that. You didn't tell me.

The only straight policeman you'll ever see

is possibly... the top man...

...in England or the ones on the zebra crossings.

All the other ones, with their Moody Blue raincoats and their tough boots,

they're all bent, love. The lot. From start to bottom. Bent.

They're bent on traffic of fences. You got money, they go bent.

It's like the housing list. It's like anything.

People like stockbrokers and all those people in official positions,

or in a position to handle the public's money, they're all thieves.

All the MPs, everybody. But they make laws so they can't get nicked.

Not like us. We're the only people who get nicked when we do anything.

Screws are the same as cozzers. If I'd had a tenner a week to give a screw,

I could've had a bottle of whisky every week.

The only thing you can't get in there is a broad cos it's too big. That's all.

Everybody's bent, Joy. It's like this flat.

We had to give a few quid to get this flat.

Plenty of people on the housing list can't get a flat

cos they've got no money. Everybody's bent.

- Hello, Mr Jacks. - You're early. Had a good week, then?

- Yeah. How are you today? - All right, Joy.

- There we are. - Hello.

- Say hello. - Hello.

- He likes you. - He liked me last time, didn't he?

That's quite good. That's very good. Don't you fancy her?

Yeah. They wouldn't be allowed now

to do a picture like that in Germany.

- Why's that? - Well, they just passed a law, you see.

You can't... If you're gonna expose your breasts in a photograph, you see,

you've either got to see both of them or none of them.

- Really? - Yeah. None of this business.

You can't have one out and one in.

You either have them both out or none.

- Why's that? - I don't know.

I like the patter.

"Man is for woman made and a woman made for man."

- They're right, ain't they? - I bet she's been made a few times.

How can you tell?

She... I like her. What do you reckon?

Yeah, she's quite nice. She's got a bit too much make-up on for me.

I think that's rather good, you see. Poking them either side of the...

...of the wooden doings.

- Yeah, I suppose that's quite artistic. - Yeah.

I like that, actually. What do you reckon?

It's quite nice.

Yeah. How would you like to have a bit of wood, anyway?

I think she's repulsive. Look at that face.

Out the way. Out the way.

- That's the one. - No, she hasn't got much.

I mean, I would've thought you liked them with, you know...

Well, yeah, I do. I know what you mean. I do normally.

It's a landmark in the dark.

What do you like about her, then?

Well, she looks in need of it, you see?

You are cheeky, aren't you?

You know, what I'd really like is a nice flat in Chelsea. Have you got any?

Have I got any? Well, I might be able to put you onto one.

Pardon. I might.

Yeah, well, it sounds a bit more classy than this.

Sounds a bit poxy, a flat in Wandsworth, doesn't it?

- Where have you been, Joy? - I went to pay the rent.

- You went to pay the rent? - That's what I said.

- You've been four hours paying the rent! - Don't do that! Don't start all that!

Now, don't start all that.

Has he got a couch in that rent office?

Idunno.

I haven't seen one.

What do you mean, has he got a couch?

You know what I mean! Where's my tools?

- I haven't seen your tools! - I want 'em!

- Now, don't you start! Don't! - Sit down! I want my tools!

Don't start that with me. I've had just about enough of you.

You're always having a go at me! I come in this house, I do everything I can.

I'm not your slave! I'm not your...

Now get!

Now get down there!

- You gonna get down there? - Yes, I am! I am! Don't touch me!

Get down there, then!

- Let me go! Don't hit me again, please! - Let you go?

- Look, I'm sorry, love. - No! Away! Go away!

- Don't go running to your old woman. - Do you know what you've done?

- What have I done? - You've hit me. You've hit me and...

- Look, I didn't mean to hit you. - You've hit me and I might be pregnant.

- That's it. That's the finish. - I told you never to lend 'em, Joy.

'You see, he won't go. He won't leave me.

'And I can't get rid of him unless he gets nicked.

'If only I had a car, I'd drive off and find a place

'where there are only men and a few glamour girls

'and flashy cars and big hotels.

'But then I'd muck myself up talking.

'Cos I always get ballsed up talking to the upper classes.

'Whoever heard of girls like me making it?

'How can I go back to all this?

'Well, I'm not the same anymore.

'I can't stick this sort of security.

'I can't abear the thought of all these women doing the same things,

'you know, mopping down their steps, doing their ironing,

'changing their babies, doing their shopping.

'Then there's another side of life where the husband and wife are very happy.

'They don't have to dabble in what it's like with other people.

'If I leave Tom, I'd be frightened.

'Cos I'm so frightened of being on my own.'

Can I have a cup of tea, please?

'I suppose my life's over.

'Well, you only get one chance.

'I got a great pain in my heart yesterday.

'I really wanted to gas myself.

'I've never felt that desperate before.

'Then again, you read all this stuff in the papers.

'You know, the result of a broken home,

'delinquent, locked up, and all the rest.

'Well, I don't want my little Jonny, I don't want him to be a result of that.

'You know, the result of a broken home. Cos that would be terrible.

'And that's why I'm trying. That's why...

'If I could find a bloke tomorrow

'who loved Jonny as much as he loved me...

'...well, I'd go with him like a shot.

'Cos all you need is a man

'and a baby...

'...and a couple of nice rooms to live in.

'When you think of it, that's all it comes down to.'

'...but generally dry. There could be the odd showers...'

Where's Jonny?

I don't know. I thought he was with you.

I told you I wasn't taking him with me.

Well, I ain't your baby minder, darling.

Have you seen Jenny anywhere'?

No, I haven't, love. I've had her in for an hour, give her tea and everything.

Don't know where he can be.

It's half past seven, nearly, you know? Love!

He might be down the waste ground down there. There's a load of kids playing.

Jonny!

God.

Jonny, are you 'm there'?

Jenny'?

Are you in there?

Jonny'?

No.

Jonny!

Jenny, are you over there'?

Jenny'? Are you 'm there'?

Jonny!

0h, my God!

Jonny. Jonny.!

Jonny! Jonny!

Jonny!

My baby!

My baby!

Mummy thought, I thought I'd lost you for ever and ever and ever.

What were you doing here?

- Are we gonna go? - Yeah, we'll go now.

That's difficult.

I don't know cos I dream about it a lot, but I really don't know,

if it came to it, I suppose it's all big dreams, really.

But if anything happened to little Jonny, I suppose I'd become a brass.

Is there any perfect life? I don't think there is, really.

People go on about how happy they are and what they got

and what a lovely home they've got and they've got a new telly

and they've got new fitted carpet in the lounge.

And I sit there and I think... And I go on about it myself.

I'm always saying, "I want this and I want that."

But when you come down to it,

I don't think there is a perfect life, really. You just gotta...

...make do with what you've got and be happy.

All the time.

I can't even talk about it. I always think of Dave.

Cos he... he brought out something that was inside me

that I never knew was there.

I... You know, he was marvellous.

I think about him all the time. If I...

If I listen to a record or something.

It just...

You know, I just can't imagine he's not here with me, cos it was so marvellous.

And it's terrible if you love someone. Why should they be taken away from you?

But I just think of the time when we're gonna be together again.

And I hope it's not too long.

Cos he was so different to Tom.

He was soft and warm and...

It was... It was fantastic.

With Tom, he just, he's insensitive. He doesn't...

He never asks me if I'm all right or...

You know, he thinks that money is everything.

But with Dave, it was fantastic.
