1
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,594
Have you seen Supergirl?
2
00:01:36,629 --> 00:01:39,799
Yes. With Mummy and Daddy.
3
00:01:58,551 --> 00:02:01,287
I learnt this new song, um,
at school today.
4
00:02:01,322 --> 00:02:03,254
Go on then.
5
00:02:36,489 --> 00:02:40,482
- He's freezing.
- Yes, it's cold outside.
6
00:02:44,597 --> 00:02:46,764
Been outside all day?
7
00:02:46,799 --> 00:02:49,685
I don't have anywhere else
I can take him.
8
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,537
You don't have to live
in that awful place.
9
00:02:52,572 --> 00:02:56,565
Evidently I do, since you appear
to be living in my flat.
10
00:03:00,246 --> 00:03:04,239
- Gonna kiss me good-bye, Christopher?
- No.
11
00:06:26,652 --> 00:06:29,620
Bill! What happened?
12
00:06:29,655 --> 00:06:31,823
- Fell off my bike.
- Are you all right?
13
00:06:31,858 --> 00:06:34,761
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- You look as if you need a drink.
14
00:06:34,796 --> 00:06:38,754
- Yeah.
- It's over-
15
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:03,412
Hey.!
16
00:07:06,526 --> 00:07:10,519
- Hello, Alice.
- Bill!
17
00:07:15,568 --> 00:07:19,561
Hello!
18
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:30,116
No, you didn't.
19
00:07:35,054 --> 00:07:37,523
Organization
amongst the rioters was apparent...
20
00:07:37,558 --> 00:07:39,957
with bricks or petrol bombs
being moved up...
21
00:07:39,992 --> 00:07:43,996
with some groups assigned to dig up
paving stones and other masonry...
22
00:07:44,031 --> 00:07:47,989
for use as ammunition.
23
00:07:49,268 --> 00:07:53,261
Do you mind
getting out of the way, Bill?
24
00:07:54,774 --> 00:07:58,767
The onslaughts on the police lines
were relentless and merciless.
25
00:07:58,911 --> 00:08:02,904
What do you expect if you
keep taking people's jobs away?
26
00:08:03,282 --> 00:08:05,483
That's got nothing to do with it.
27
00:08:05,518 --> 00:08:07,919
- Everything caught in the middle-
- What do you mean?
28
00:08:07,954 --> 00:08:11,947
Those people don't want jobs,
at least not the kind they're qualified to do.
29
00:08:12,792 --> 00:08:15,661
So even if we did manage
to open all those steel mills...
30
00:08:15,696 --> 00:08:18,631
and dog biscuit factories...
31
00:08:18,666 --> 00:08:21,567
we wouldn't get them to sign on.
32
00:08:21,602 --> 00:08:23,734
And who can blame them?
33
00:08:23,769 --> 00:08:26,070
Are you trying to say
they don't want to work?
34
00:08:26,105 --> 00:08:29,809
Oh, I dare say they wouldn't mind
being president of I.B. M...
35
00:08:29,844 --> 00:08:31,895
or a TV star.
36
00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:33,911
John McEnroe.
37
00:08:33,946 --> 00:08:37,250
Obviously you don't know
the first thing about unemployed kids.
38
00:08:37,285 --> 00:08:40,537
- Who does?
- I do! I defend them all the time.
39
00:08:40,572 --> 00:08:43,789
Oh, you think that's the same
as knowing them?
40
00:08:43,824 --> 00:08:46,491
Roger does too. Don't you?
41
00:08:46,526 --> 00:08:48,644
He teaches them.
42
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,728
Only little ones.
43
00:08:50,763 --> 00:08:53,933
In Brighton, bewildered
and angry residents were led to say-
44
00:08:53,968 --> 00:08:56,836
What are they like?
45
00:08:56,871 --> 00:08:59,670
Well, um, very nice.
46
00:08:59,705 --> 00:09:03,609
We used to
call ourselves "the kids,"remember?
47
00:09:03,644 --> 00:09:07,602
What, back in the days
of radical chic?
48
00:09:08,848 --> 00:09:12,183
The vast majority
of tonight's 230 casualties...
49
00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:16,055
were policemen caught in the continuous
chaos at the heart of the mob.
50
00:09:16,090 --> 00:09:19,470
And, for the first time ever
in memory in Britain...
51
00:09:19,505 --> 00:09:22,851
a shotgun, and now a pistol,
were used in the riot.
52
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:31,135
Well, how's Cheryl?
53
00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:33,571
Oh, she's fine.
54
00:09:33,606 --> 00:09:37,599
And your little boy?
Sorry, I've forgotten his name.
55
00:09:44,283 --> 00:09:48,276
They're separated.
56
00:09:48,654 --> 00:09:50,856
I'm terribly so -
I didn't understand.
57
00:09:50,891 --> 00:09:52,823
L- I-I'm sorry.
58
00:09:52,858 --> 00:09:54,892
I'm sorry, Roger.
59
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:57,997
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
60
00:10:14,146 --> 00:10:17,599
- Are you all right?
- Yes, thanks. I'm -
61
00:10:17,634 --> 00:10:21,018
- My name's Bill Hooper.
- Roger Miles.
62
00:10:21,053 --> 00:10:25,046
If I understood what you were saying,
we have a lot in common.
63
00:10:25,324 --> 00:10:27,925
Oh.
64
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,030
My wife took my boy as well.
65
00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:34,231
I see.
66
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:36,669
Bloody awful, isn't it?
67
00:10:36,704 --> 00:10:40,662
Yes. It is.
68
00:10:42,441 --> 00:10:46,434
Can I give you a lift?
69
00:10:55,755 --> 00:10:59,425
Do you know Cheryl, my wife?
70
00:10:59,460 --> 00:11:03,418
Eh?
71
00:11:03,863 --> 00:11:07,856
She's amazing.
72
00:11:10,836 --> 00:11:14,829
She's a bit of a star at university.
73
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:18,077
- That's where I met her.
- Yeah.
74
00:11:18,112 --> 00:11:21,345
That's where I met mine.
75
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:25,282
- She got sent down.
- What for?
76
00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:29,121
Valentine's Day dance.
Putting acid in the punch.
77
00:11:29,156 --> 00:11:32,890
Silly bitch. Sorry.
78
00:11:32,925 --> 00:11:36,918
Nah. It was a bit irresponsible.
79
00:11:38,497 --> 00:11:40,798
They put her on probation.
80
00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:44,826
So she just walked off with your boy?
81
00:11:45,404 --> 00:11:49,306
Well, ours.
82
00:11:49,341 --> 00:11:51,776
- Didrt she give you any warning?
- No.
83
00:11:51,811 --> 00:11:54,280
Just came in from school one day,
and they'd gone.
84
00:11:57,183 --> 00:12:01,176
You seem very calm.
I'd be bloody furious if that happened to me.
85
00:12:01,821 --> 00:12:04,323
- I thought it did happen to you.
- No.
86
00:12:04,358 --> 00:12:08,025
No.
87
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:11,363
I left Emmy.
88
00:12:11,398 --> 00:12:13,798
Oh.
89
00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:16,133
Well, we gave each other
total freedom...
90
00:12:16,168 --> 00:12:20,161
and we hated each other
for taking advantage of it.
91
00:12:21,207 --> 00:12:23,976
Or maybe we just
got married too young.
92
00:12:24,011 --> 00:12:27,211
And, uh -
93
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:30,349
We used to say
we'd met the right person...
94
00:12:30,384 --> 00:12:32,735
but we'd met them far too soon.
95
00:12:32,770 --> 00:12:35,052
- So you left her?
- What? Yes.
96
00:12:35,087 --> 00:12:38,322
- And your boy.
- No. How could I leave my boy?
97
00:12:38,357 --> 00:12:40,991
- Sorry. I thought you said -
- I wasrt thinking. I didn't realize.
98
00:12:41,026 --> 00:12:45,019
I didn't know she'd have some new boyfriend
installed before you could say "knife. "
99
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:50,301
He sees Christopher six days a week,
and, uh...
100
00:12:50,336 --> 00:12:53,506
so naturally Christopher thinks
he's his father, and, uh...
101
00:12:53,541 --> 00:12:57,208
There's Daddy number two.
102
00:12:57,243 --> 00:13:01,180
He can hardly remember who the fuck I am.
103
00:13:03,215 --> 00:13:07,208
My God. She's a bloody bitch.!
104
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,494
Anyway...
105
00:13:16,529 --> 00:13:19,865
otherwise I'd, uh -
I'd never have -
106
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:22,201
I'm really sorry.
107
00:13:22,236 --> 00:13:24,969
Oh?
108
00:13:25,004 --> 00:13:27,923
You don't even seem to be angry.
109
00:13:27,958 --> 00:13:30,808
I can't afford to get angry.
110
00:13:30,843 --> 00:13:34,213
If I ever let myself get angry,
I could do some real damage.
111
00:14:32,137 --> 00:14:34,607
I've decided they really piss me off.
112
00:14:34,642 --> 00:14:37,308
Women.
113
00:14:37,343 --> 00:14:39,343
- What do you mean?
- What?
114
00:14:39,378 --> 00:14:43,382
All this relating -
relationships, interrelating.
115
00:14:43,417 --> 00:14:45,349
That's what they're good at.
116
00:14:45,384 --> 00:14:48,554
Oh, don't get me wrong.
I always endorse all that.
117
00:14:48,589 --> 00:14:51,188
I used to argue feminism
against women.
118
00:14:51,223 --> 00:14:55,216
I was such a good boy, you know.
I even joined a mers group once.
119
00:14:55,594 --> 00:14:59,587
God, it's... really depressing.
120
00:14:59,965 --> 00:15:02,333
Endless whinging and -
121
00:15:02,368 --> 00:15:06,138
It's not like a womers group.
They enjoy themselves.
122
00:15:06,173 --> 00:15:08,138
They used to meet at our flat.
123
00:15:08,173 --> 00:15:12,166
I used to hear them haranguing
one another or, uh...
124
00:15:12,244 --> 00:15:14,278
roaring with laughter...
125
00:15:14,313 --> 00:15:17,477
while I was making the bloody tea.
126
00:15:17,512 --> 00:15:20,642
I really envied them.
127
00:15:21,353 --> 00:15:24,690
I knew at the time
that they were right to be angry.
128
00:15:24,725 --> 00:15:28,494
I knew they were absolutely justified.
129
00:15:28,529 --> 00:15:32,393
I never disputed that for a moment.
130
00:15:32,428 --> 00:15:36,257
All the same,
they really piss me off.
131
00:17:13,232 --> 00:17:16,463
Morning, old son.
A good weekend?
132
00:17:16,498 --> 00:17:19,694
- Go fuck yourself.
- Not very civil.
133
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,401
- Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha!
- Let me have it!
134
00:17:50,436 --> 00:17:53,772
- I can run faster than you!
- No, I wanted to be in editorial.
135
00:17:53,807 --> 00:17:57,041
They didn't have any vacancies
when I arrived.
136
00:17:57,076 --> 00:18:00,879
Then I found out how badly
they got treated in editorial.
137
00:18:02,881 --> 00:18:06,184
Miserable pay,
first to get fired, et cetera.
138
00:18:06,219 --> 00:18:09,338
So then I decided
to stick with marketing.
139
00:18:09,373 --> 00:18:12,912
Might I have read
anything you've marketed?
140
00:18:12,947 --> 00:18:16,451
Yeah.
Diana, Our Princess of Hearts.
141
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:20,364
No.
142
00:18:20,399 --> 00:18:23,100
I missed that one.
143
00:18:23,135 --> 00:18:26,338
- Do you like teaching?
- Yeah, I've always enjoyed it.
144
00:18:26,373 --> 00:18:28,605
Pay's not very good though, is it?
145
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,843
- I get nine and a half thousand.
- Oh.
146
00:18:30,878 --> 00:18:33,510
- What about you?
- Twenty-three.
147
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:37,147
- I expect your wife costs you quite a lot.
- No, no. She works at home.
148
00:18:37,182 --> 00:18:41,175
Earns her own money. I give her about
150 quid a month to watch Christopher.
149
00:18:41,653 --> 00:18:44,188
That's less than I give Cheryl.
150
00:18:44,223 --> 00:18:48,160
- What, you're paying her money?
- Well, you know, she's on the dole.
151
00:18:48,195 --> 00:18:51,497
- Not fair.!
- How much, for God's sake?
152
00:18:51,532 --> 00:18:54,800
- Two hundred and fifty a month.
- What?
153
00:18:54,835 --> 00:18:57,301
That's all I can manage.
154
00:18:57,336 --> 00:18:59,503
- I don't believe it.
- Not fair.! Not fair.!
155
00:18:59,538 --> 00:19:03,531
This woman steals your son,
and you're paying her 250 quid a month?
156
00:19:05,177 --> 00:19:07,778
Don't ever say that again, Bill.
157
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:10,716
I don't ever want to hear
anything like that again.
158
00:19:10,751 --> 00:19:14,118
Stop it. You're hurting me. Stop it.!
159
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:16,855
- Stop it! You're hurting me!
- Now you've got it, and you'll pay for it!
160
00:19:16,890 --> 00:19:19,458
- Christopher! Stop that!
- Give it back!
161
00:19:19,493 --> 00:19:21,658
You're hurting me!
162
00:19:21,693 --> 00:19:25,686
- There's no need for that.
- Sorry.
163
00:19:32,771 --> 00:19:35,807
I bought this for all the girls
I thought were gonna go off with me.
164
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:39,800
You might as well have it.
165
00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:50,255
- Okay?
- Hang on.
166
00:19:50,290 --> 00:19:54,248
Right. Yeah.
167
00:20:33,865 --> 00:20:36,333
Roger!
168
00:20:36,368 --> 00:20:39,369
Hello, Richard.
Hey. Mmm.
169
00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:42,674
- Careful with that knife.
- I'm perfectly safe.
170
00:20:42,709 --> 00:20:44,608
Where's Roger?
171
00:20:44,643 --> 00:20:47,512
Gone to the school.
He'll be back in a minute.
172
00:20:47,547 --> 00:20:50,781
Oh. Well, I have to leave
Richard here.
173
00:20:50,816 --> 00:20:54,419
I've got a dance class in half an hour,
and my friend's had to go to a meeting.
174
00:20:54,454 --> 00:20:58,412
- So if Roger could take him for the night -
- I'm sure he can.
175
00:20:58,490 --> 00:21:00,826
- You must be Bill.
- Yes, I am.
176
00:21:00,861 --> 00:21:03,860
- I'm Cheryl.
- Yes.
177
00:21:03,895 --> 00:21:06,630
You're married to
that little Emmy Hooper.
178
00:21:06,665 --> 00:21:10,658
- Oh, I didn't think she was that little.
- Oh, you know what I mean.
179
00:21:10,969 --> 00:21:12,936
No.
180
00:21:12,971 --> 00:21:16,964
She's living with someone else.
Is that right?
181
00:21:22,014 --> 00:21:25,983
How is Roger?
182
00:21:26,018 --> 00:21:29,421
- I worry about him.
- He's all right.
183
00:21:29,456 --> 00:21:32,824
You're not very forthcoming, are you?
184
00:21:32,859 --> 00:21:36,817
No.
185
00:21:45,570 --> 00:21:47,839
Good-looking, isn't she? Cheryl?
186
00:21:47,874 --> 00:21:49,806
Yeah.
187
00:21:49,841 --> 00:21:53,834
Don't know what she ever saw in me.
188
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:04,478
Here we are.
189
00:22:08,527 --> 00:22:12,520
"The Way Forward" by Cheryl Langford.
190
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,793
Here's my favorite bit.
191
00:22:18,904 --> 00:22:22,107
"No longer the cowering
female victim in the alleyway...
192
00:22:22,142 --> 00:22:24,708
"but the female sniper
on the rooftop.
193
00:22:24,743 --> 00:22:28,736
That will be the characteristic image
of the new age that is dawning. "
194
00:22:30,982 --> 00:22:34,975
That's good stuff.
195
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:42,594
"Recent genetic research
has proved the inerent weakness...
196
00:22:42,629 --> 00:22:46,059
"of the male-producing 'Y' chromosomes.
197
00:22:46,094 --> 00:22:49,490
So, from his very inception -"
198
00:22:54,773 --> 00:22:58,766
"So, from his very inception,
we can see that the male of the species...
199
00:22:59,478 --> 00:23:01,778
"is fundamentally inferior...
200
00:23:01,813 --> 00:23:04,649
"and biologically aberrant
to the female.
201
00:23:04,684 --> 00:23:08,642
- Therefore -"
- Bloody rubbish.
202
00:23:09,054 --> 00:23:11,922
- It's only a joke.
- Ajoke?
203
00:23:11,957 --> 00:23:15,826
Yes.
You mustrt take it too seriously.
204
00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:18,697
What do you mean? What she's saying
is that technically speaking...
205
00:23:18,732 --> 00:23:21,665
men don't count as human beings.
206
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:25,693
- Balls!
- She wants us dead. Don't you understand?
207
00:23:26,004 --> 00:23:29,541
It's the quarterly bulletin
of the Crouch End Womers Collective.
208
00:23:29,576 --> 00:23:33,534
- It's a period piece.
- She wants us dead.
209
00:23:50,061 --> 00:23:52,831
What about you?
Fancy a drop of the proper stuff?
210
00:23:52,866 --> 00:23:54,798
I'll stick with this.
211
00:23:54,833 --> 00:23:57,469
Why are you drinking so much?
What's the matter with you?
212
00:23:57,504 --> 00:24:00,404
I don't know.
I should be on top of the world.
213
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:03,206
Susan and the children move back in
at the weekend.
214
00:24:03,241 --> 00:24:07,012
That's good, isn't it?
I thought she was setting the lawyers on you.
215
00:24:07,047 --> 00:24:08,979
She did.
216
00:24:09,014 --> 00:24:11,883
Said she'd done it
just to jerk my lead.
217
00:24:11,918 --> 00:24:15,715
- What?
- Jerk my lead!
218
00:24:15,750 --> 00:24:19,513
- She said that?
- Yeah.
219
00:24:22,027 --> 00:24:25,095
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
220
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:28,200
I can't understand what you've
been so miserable about.
221
00:24:28,235 --> 00:24:31,568
I quite like being footloose
and fancy-free...
222
00:24:31,603 --> 00:24:35,540
not having those three little sods
bouncing up and down on my bed...
223
00:24:35,575 --> 00:24:37,841
at 6:00 yelling their heads off
every morning.
224
00:24:37,876 --> 00:24:40,912
So what you're saying is I should be
enjoying myself, is that it?
225
00:24:40,947 --> 00:24:43,281
Of course.
This party, for example.
226
00:24:43,316 --> 00:24:45,682
Can'te blanche.
227
00:24:45,717 --> 00:24:48,753
All this time, Creighton,
and you still don't bloody know me, do you?
228
00:24:48,788 --> 00:24:51,156
Come on.
There must be some compensations.
229
00:24:51,191 --> 00:24:55,149
No, there aren't!
230
00:25:06,104 --> 00:25:08,706
Cheryl found a new bloke yet?
231
00:25:08,741 --> 00:25:11,274
No. She's not like that.
232
00:25:11,309 --> 00:25:14,112
- Yeah, they all say that.
- No, really.
233
00:25:14,147 --> 00:25:16,915
She already lives with someone.
A woman.
234
00:25:16,950 --> 00:25:20,908
What?
235
00:25:21,786 --> 00:25:25,779
Whoo!
Bloody hell!
236
00:25:31,663 --> 00:25:35,100
When you say "lives with" -
237
00:25:35,135 --> 00:25:38,337
That's right.
238
00:25:38,372 --> 00:25:41,474
How'd you know?
239
00:25:41,509 --> 00:25:44,576
I've always known.
240
00:25:52,150 --> 00:25:55,587
Now, you bring these to the table, Chris.
There.
241
00:25:55,622 --> 00:25:59,024
Okay, you bring them.
I'll take these. Here we go.
242
00:26:07,999 --> 00:26:11,302
Here's the sprouts. Serve them out!
243
00:26:11,337 --> 00:26:14,806
Here's the sauce.
Eat it like a horse!
244
00:26:14,841 --> 00:26:18,276
Here's the "taties. "
Tuck in, mateys.
245
00:26:18,311 --> 00:26:20,777
Where's the turkey?
246
00:26:20,812 --> 00:26:23,280
Arert we "lurkey"!
247
00:26:44,836 --> 00:26:47,270
Didrt know you could hear
with all that going on.
248
00:26:47,305 --> 00:26:49,624
- Did you have a nice time?
- He's all right. These are his things.
249
00:26:49,659 --> 00:26:51,943
- Ooh! What did you get?
- I hope this isn't going on all night.
250
00:26:51,978 --> 00:26:54,797
- He's very tired. He needs some sleep.
- He'll be fine.
251
00:26:54,832 --> 00:26:57,581
- Why don't you come in for a drink?
- Not bloody likely.
252
00:26:57,616 --> 00:26:59,951
Well, then just wait here a minute.
I'll go and get your present.
253
00:26:59,986 --> 00:27:02,020
I don't want your presents.
Give them to your fancy man.
254
00:27:02,055 --> 00:27:06,013
Stop it!
255
00:27:09,427 --> 00:27:11,861
And a merry Christmas to you!
256
00:27:11,896 --> 00:27:15,398
And to you too. Bitch!
257
00:27:15,433 --> 00:27:19,426
And a happy New Year to you all!
258
00:27:21,406 --> 00:27:25,399
Bloody bitch!
259
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:03,440
She's taking Richard away.
260
00:29:03,475 --> 00:29:06,511
What are you talking about?
How can she?
261
00:29:06,546 --> 00:29:10,504
She just is.
262
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:13,751
Where?
263
00:29:13,786 --> 00:29:16,020
Australia.
264
00:29:16,055 --> 00:29:18,321
What?
265
00:29:18,356 --> 00:29:20,992
That's whereJeanie comes from.
266
00:29:21,027 --> 00:29:24,985
Perth or somewhere.
267
00:29:25,196 --> 00:29:29,189
- When?
- Soon as she can get a visa.
268
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:31,301
Bloody bitch.
269
00:29:31,336 --> 00:29:34,304
No. She's really quite upset.
270
00:29:34,339 --> 00:29:38,332
She said perhaps I could visit
in the Easter holidays.
271
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:43,403
Uh -
272
00:30:04,502 --> 00:30:06,504
Get him back.
273
00:30:06,539 --> 00:30:09,539
What?
274
00:30:09,574 --> 00:30:13,476
Get him back from her.
275
00:30:13,511 --> 00:30:17,504
- You mean, take him away?
- Yes.
276
00:30:18,516 --> 00:30:20,785
- But she's his mother.
- And you're his father.
277
00:30:20,820 --> 00:30:23,054
Why should you cave in,
let her walk all over you?
278
00:30:23,089 --> 00:30:25,021
Come on. Fight back.
279
00:30:25,056 --> 00:30:29,049
- What, you mean kidnap him?
- No.
280
00:30:29,194 --> 00:30:31,461
No.
281
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:33,563
No, you do it legally.
282
00:30:33,598 --> 00:30:35,932
How can I?
We're not even divorced.
283
00:30:35,967 --> 00:30:39,960
That doesn't matter.
You get custody of him.
284
00:30:40,438 --> 00:30:42,472
Uh -
285
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:45,241
I don't think
I could take Cheryl to court.
286
00:30:45,276 --> 00:30:47,877
You don't have to.
All you need is a solicitor's letter.
287
00:30:47,912 --> 00:30:51,015
A friend of mine's wife did just that.
Hard-nosed formal letter.
288
00:30:51,050 --> 00:30:55,008
Gave him the fright of his life.
People do that now.
289
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:58,423
But I haven't got any grounds.
You need grounds.
290
00:30:58,458 --> 00:31:02,416
We'll think of some.
291
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:04,594
I couldn't.
292
00:31:04,629 --> 00:31:08,622
Look, all you have to do is jerk her lead a bit.
That's all. Just jerk her lead.
293
00:31:12,303 --> 00:31:16,296
No.
294
00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:24,280
There it is.
295
00:31:24,315 --> 00:31:28,308
- I'm not sure about this.
- Australia.
296
00:31:29,187 --> 00:31:33,180
Right.
297
00:31:35,126 --> 00:31:38,930
So, yes, she left seven months ago,
but now she says that-
298
00:31:38,965 --> 00:31:41,164
Don't say another word.
299
00:31:41,199 --> 00:31:45,192
I'm sorry. I never act for a man
in a custody case.
300
00:31:45,370 --> 00:31:49,363
- What, not under any circumstances?
- Matter of principle.
301
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:52,675
Oh.
302
00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:56,014
Let me arrange for you to speak
to one of my colleagues.
303
00:31:56,049 --> 00:32:00,007
He'll help you.
304
00:32:01,419 --> 00:32:05,323
David, have you got a few minutes
to see a client?
305
00:32:05,358 --> 00:32:09,316
Thanks.
306
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,964
You stay here, Bill.
307
00:32:12,999 --> 00:32:14,931
Good luck.
308
00:32:36,487 --> 00:32:39,657
- I was just reading your tits.
309
00:32:39,692 --> 00:32:41,724
Yes.
310
00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:45,530
- That what you really think?
- Yes. Otherwise I wouldn't wear it.
311
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:51,401
Out! Get out!
312
00:32:51,436 --> 00:32:55,429
- Can't have you riding with a rapist, can we?
- For Christ's sake, Bill!
313
00:32:57,475 --> 00:32:59,510
- You out too.
- Don't be absurd.
314
00:32:59,545 --> 00:33:01,511
Shut up and get out.
I've had enough.
315
00:33:01,546 --> 00:33:03,713
- I just don't believe this!
- I do.
316
00:33:03,748 --> 00:33:07,083
You can take this.
317
00:33:07,118 --> 00:33:09,320
Will you pass Christopher
out to me then?
318
00:33:09,355 --> 00:33:12,523
Certainly not.
He's a man, isn't he?
319
00:33:21,299 --> 00:33:23,599
What the hell do you think
you're playing at?
320
00:33:23,634 --> 00:33:26,337
I told him you'd help him out.
What's the matter with you?
321
00:33:26,372 --> 00:33:28,538
Why have you become so serious?
322
00:33:28,573 --> 00:33:31,709
- Serious?
- Yes, you're so bloody serious.
323
00:33:31,744 --> 00:33:35,702
You used to be a lot of fun.
324
00:33:38,349 --> 00:33:41,819
You think Roger's wife is entitled to the kid
because she's a woman, don't you?
325
00:33:41,854 --> 00:33:44,287
- Yes, I do!
- Yeah.
326
00:33:44,322 --> 00:33:48,257
We've known each other a long time.
You could have made an exception.
327
00:33:48,292 --> 00:33:52,285
Do you know what, Bill? I think you've
always taken things far too personally.
328
00:34:05,676 --> 00:34:08,778
I told him I'd always known
Cheryl was gay.
329
00:34:08,813 --> 00:34:11,783
He said in that case the judge would
probably decide I'd condoned it...
330
00:34:11,818 --> 00:34:14,831
and have Richard taken into care.
331
00:34:14,866 --> 00:34:17,844
- Christ.
- Well, fuck that!
332
00:34:28,266 --> 00:34:31,269
Couldrt he come up
with some sort of compromise?
333
00:34:31,304 --> 00:34:33,269
Compromise?
334
00:34:33,304 --> 00:34:35,405
She's taking him to Australia.
335
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,433
What sort of compromise
do you suggest - Singapore?
336
00:34:40,378 --> 00:34:42,378
I'll find another bloody lawyer.
337
00:34:42,413 --> 00:34:45,083
Once he finds out
that you knew about Cheryl -
338
00:34:45,118 --> 00:34:47,083
- I won't tell him.
- That's dishonest.
339
00:34:47,118 --> 00:34:51,111
Oh, dear. Oh, dear,
oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!
340
00:34:52,256 --> 00:34:55,491
You were right, Bill.
341
00:34:55,526 --> 00:34:59,197
Bloody women.
They do want us dead.
342
00:34:59,232 --> 00:35:03,190
He's my son!
343
00:35:20,184 --> 00:35:22,685
So you had absolutely no idea...
344
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:25,523
your wife was subject
to these tendencies?
345
00:35:25,558 --> 00:35:27,525
Mmm, none whatsoever.
346
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,759
Good.
347
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:31,894
And how did you find out?
348
00:35:31,929 --> 00:35:35,867
- My son told me.
- Oh, excellent.
349
00:35:35,902 --> 00:35:38,568
What did he say?
350
00:35:38,603 --> 00:35:41,772
That she shares a bed
with this woman.
351
00:35:41,807 --> 00:35:44,942
- Who is a known lesbian?
- Yes.
352
00:35:44,977 --> 00:35:46,944
She got married once.
353
00:35:46,979 --> 00:35:50,213
Excuse me?
354
00:35:50,248 --> 00:35:52,548
To another woman.
355
00:35:52,583 --> 00:35:56,576
I've got a cutting about it somewhere
from Gay News.
356
00:35:56,888 --> 00:36:00,881
I don't know if she's had a divorce.
357
00:36:01,893 --> 00:36:05,886
Well, this is most promising.
358
00:36:08,366 --> 00:36:11,269
And where has your wife
taken the boy?
359
00:36:11,304 --> 00:36:14,972
- Um, Brixton.
- Oh, wonderful.
360
00:36:15,007 --> 00:36:17,440
Now, then...
361
00:36:17,475 --> 00:36:20,877
under the Guardianship of Minors Act...
362
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:24,048
the court's first consideration must always
be that of the welfare of the child.
363
00:36:24,083 --> 00:36:27,185
Normally a judge would feel,
looking at it from the child's point of view...
364
00:36:27,220 --> 00:36:30,586
that the enforced removal
of that child...
365
00:36:30,621 --> 00:36:34,614
from the care of one parent
could only ever be justified...
366
00:36:35,426 --> 00:36:37,962
in the most extreme circumstances.
367
00:36:37,997 --> 00:36:40,263
Of course. Of course.
368
00:36:40,298 --> 00:36:44,291
However, fortunately,
these are extreme circumstances.
369
00:36:45,303 --> 00:36:47,603
- Are they?
- Oh, yes.
370
00:36:47,638 --> 00:36:50,273
Lesbianism has never
been illegal in this country...
371
00:36:50,308 --> 00:36:54,301
but I think it is true to say it's something
most judges take a fairly dim view of.
372
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:57,413
Right.
373
00:36:57,448 --> 00:37:01,441
So, perhaps at this point, we should
avail ourselves of some expert opinion.
374
00:37:07,325 --> 00:37:10,294
Oh.
I thought that's what we were doing.
375
00:37:10,329 --> 00:37:12,728
No. No, Mr. Miles.
376
00:37:12,763 --> 00:37:14,832
You'll, uh, need a barrister.
377
00:37:14,867 --> 00:37:17,600
Ah. I see.
378
00:37:17,635 --> 00:37:19,936
So perhaps at this point...
379
00:37:19,971 --> 00:37:23,641
it might be appropriate
to raise the matter of costs.
380
00:37:23,676 --> 00:37:25,608
Mm-hmm.
381
00:37:25,643 --> 00:37:28,312
In law, as in most things...
382
00:37:28,347 --> 00:37:30,379
we get what we pay for.
383
00:37:30,414 --> 00:37:33,317
And I would like you to have
the benefit of the very best.
384
00:37:33,352 --> 00:37:35,284
Unfortunately...
385
00:37:35,319 --> 00:37:37,822
that does tend to come
rather expensive.
386
00:37:37,857 --> 00:37:39,789
I see. How much?
387
00:37:39,824 --> 00:37:43,817
If we're lucky,
we might get away with £400.
388
00:37:44,528 --> 00:37:48,521
Well, that's all right,
I suppose.
389
00:37:48,566 --> 00:37:51,302
Per diem.
390
00:37:51,337 --> 00:37:55,271
Ah.
391
00:37:55,306 --> 00:37:59,299
Uh, how many, um, days?
392
00:37:59,677 --> 00:38:01,711
Difficult to say.
393
00:38:01,746 --> 00:38:05,683
Three, as a general rule.
Possibly four.
394
00:38:05,718 --> 00:38:09,585
And, of course,
there would be my own fees.
395
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:12,323
Uh, the trouble is,
I'm a bit strapped at the moment.
396
00:38:12,358 --> 00:38:14,757
Sorry.
397
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:17,628
We upped the mortgage last year,
and that put a bit of pressure on -
398
00:38:17,663 --> 00:38:21,264
Quite. Quite.
399
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:24,335
It is as well to give all this
very careful consideration.
400
00:38:24,370 --> 00:38:26,902
No, it's all right. Don't worry.
We'll manage.
401
00:38:26,937 --> 00:38:30,808
Oh, good. Well, then let me see
if I can make an appointment.
402
00:38:33,477 --> 00:38:36,612
It's all right.
403
00:38:36,647 --> 00:38:38,614
Uh, no. No, Mr. Miles.
404
00:38:38,649 --> 00:38:42,642
I think, if possible, we should try
and arrange something directly.
405
00:39:00,705 --> 00:39:04,698
This way.
406
00:39:13,384 --> 00:39:16,153
- I can't let you pay for this.
- I'm not going to.
407
00:39:16,188 --> 00:39:18,489
I'm just gonna help you out.
408
00:39:18,524 --> 00:39:21,657
I don't know.
409
00:39:21,692 --> 00:39:23,993
How much can you get hold of?
410
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:27,047
Eight hundred,
a thousand perhaps.
411
00:39:27,082 --> 00:39:30,032
I'll pay anything over a thousand.
412
00:39:30,067 --> 00:39:32,770
- Perhaps I should sell the house.
- Look, just take the money.
413
00:39:32,805 --> 00:39:35,005
I'm not doing anything else with it.
414
00:39:50,921 --> 00:39:54,914
- I'll pay you back.
- Fine. Don't worry about it.
415
00:39:55,493 --> 00:39:57,626
- With interest.
- Great.
416
00:39:57,661 --> 00:40:00,664
We were lucky to get Mr. Varda.
417
00:40:00,699 --> 00:40:02,798
He really is very able.
418
00:40:02,833 --> 00:40:05,503
One of the best
of the younger men.
419
00:40:05,538 --> 00:40:09,496
Oh, good.
420
00:40:12,977 --> 00:40:16,881
Quick smash and grab in the county court, if
we can get away with it, don't you think, Leonard?
421
00:40:16,916 --> 00:40:19,482
A bit of a long shot, isn't it?
422
00:40:19,517 --> 00:40:22,920
I would have thought we'd stand
a better chance with the magistrates.
423
00:40:22,955 --> 00:40:26,424
Not much fun though, is it?
Also a bit hit-and-miss.
424
00:40:26,459 --> 00:40:28,457
What we need is the right judge.
425
00:40:28,492 --> 00:40:30,826
- Hello. Harry?
- Yes, Mr. Varda?
426
00:40:30,861 --> 00:40:34,854
Find out who's on at Battersea,
will you, this afternoon?
427
00:40:35,132 --> 00:40:37,902
- You're looking well.
- Bought a yacht. Sixty foot.
428
00:40:37,937 --> 00:40:40,436
Picked it up cheap.
Yard was going bust.
429
00:40:40,471 --> 00:40:44,464
- Really?
- I want to take it to Barbados this summer.
430
00:40:45,176 --> 00:40:48,177
Yes, Harry?
431
00:40:48,212 --> 00:40:50,864
- Judge Kirby-Smith, sir.
- Terrific!
432
00:40:50,899 --> 00:40:53,482
See if you could book us in, will you?
433
00:40:53,517 --> 00:40:57,265
Well, that is convenient,
isn't it, Leonard?
434
00:40:57,300 --> 00:41:01,014
- Catholic, isn't he?
- No. But very high.
435
00:41:01,192 --> 00:41:03,759
Censorious old bugger anyway.
436
00:41:03,794 --> 00:41:06,462
I say "old," but he's probably
not much more than 50.
437
00:41:06,497 --> 00:41:10,034
Which means we can rely on him
for the next 20 years, with any luck.
438
00:41:10,069 --> 00:41:13,271
What Mr. Varda has in mind,
and I couldn't agree more...
439
00:41:13,306 --> 00:41:16,439
is an ex parte application
before a county court judge...
440
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:19,777
which means we'll be applying
for an order which will direct your wife...
441
00:41:19,812 --> 00:41:22,211
to surrender care and control
of your child.
442
00:41:22,246 --> 00:41:26,239
We do have reason to believe that this
particularjudge sitting this afternoon...
443
00:41:26,484 --> 00:41:30,020
is liable to take a very serious view
of your wife's lifestyle.
444
00:41:30,055 --> 00:41:34,013
On account of her being a naughty girl.
445
00:41:34,525 --> 00:41:37,928
If so, we should be able
to obtain custody of your son.
446
00:41:37,963 --> 00:41:40,965
- When?
- This afternoon.
447
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,933
- What?
- That's right.
448
00:41:43,968 --> 00:41:47,238
- Doesrt Cheryl have to be there?
- No, no, no.
449
00:41:47,273 --> 00:41:51,006
Hence the phrase "ex parte. "
450
00:41:51,041 --> 00:41:55,034
Are you allowed to do that?
451
00:41:56,947 --> 00:41:59,548
Sorry.
452
00:41:59,583 --> 00:42:02,485
It'll only be a temporary order.
453
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,173
We'll have to go back before thejudge,
very probably within seven days...
454
00:42:06,208 --> 00:42:09,827
at which time your wife will be at liberty
to contest your claims...
455
00:42:09,862 --> 00:42:12,096
and we shall be obliged
to substantiate them.
456
00:42:12,131 --> 00:42:14,063
Yes, Harry?
457
00:42:14,098 --> 00:42:16,634
- 3:15 do you, sir?
- Well done, Harry.
458
00:42:16,669 --> 00:42:20,627
Should do it if the traffic's kind.
459
00:42:27,611 --> 00:42:29,945
Now, this is your affidavit, Mr. Miles.
460
00:42:29,980 --> 00:42:33,050
It sets out your reasons
for applying for care and control.
461
00:42:33,085 --> 00:42:35,050
Should be all right.
Bound to be really.
462
00:42:35,085 --> 00:42:37,686
Always rely on Kirby-Smith
for a genuinely reactionary decision.
463
00:42:37,721 --> 00:42:40,691
We'll put all these points orally,
of course, but thejudge generally does-
464
00:42:40,726 --> 00:42:43,961
Some of the big-city judges
are starting to give custody to lesbians.
465
00:42:43,996 --> 00:42:46,529
Kirby-Smith would rather have a child
taken out and shot.
466
00:42:46,564 --> 00:42:48,866
- Would you care to run your eyes over it?
- Have we met somewhere?
467
00:42:48,901 --> 00:42:52,269
A party at Sally and Sam's.
468
00:42:52,304 --> 00:42:56,262
Oh, yes. That was it.
469
00:43:16,026 --> 00:43:18,662
- Three-eighty on the clock, guv.
- How are you feeling?
470
00:43:18,697 --> 00:43:21,163
Well, rather excited.
471
00:43:21,198 --> 00:43:24,768
- Bit of a prick, isn't he? Varda?
- A prick is just what we need.
472
00:43:24,803 --> 00:43:28,761
- Thank you.
- Thanks a lot.
473
00:43:35,045 --> 00:43:39,038
Straight in.
474
00:43:40,417 --> 00:43:44,410
- Tie's loose.
- Oh.
475
00:43:46,857 --> 00:43:49,193
- It's in chambers, I'm afraid.
- What?
476
00:43:49,228 --> 00:43:52,575
No spectators.
477
00:43:52,610 --> 00:43:55,922
Good luck.
478
00:44:01,639 --> 00:44:04,675
- My God, you've only been five minutes.
- Nine, actually.
479
00:44:04,710 --> 00:44:07,745
Still it all went very smoothly.
I must dash.
480
00:44:07,780 --> 00:44:11,015
When shall we three meet again?
481
00:44:11,050 --> 00:44:13,048
Or four.
482
00:44:13,083 --> 00:44:15,084
I'll phone you tomorrow.
483
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:17,720
- How did it go?
- Very smoothly.
484
00:44:17,755 --> 00:44:20,658
I think we probably have
very little time to waste.
485
00:44:20,693 --> 00:44:24,651
Come on.
486
00:44:46,083 --> 00:44:49,920
It's very depressing round here.
Do you know it at all?
487
00:44:49,955 --> 00:44:53,023
Yes, I've lived here for years.
488
00:44:53,058 --> 00:44:55,224
Ah.
489
00:44:55,259 --> 00:44:58,623
I live near Ascot myself.
490
00:44:58,658 --> 00:45:01,988
Excuse me.
491
00:45:17,981 --> 00:45:21,974
- Do you have any children, Mr. Hooper?
- Yeah. Little boy, six.
492
00:45:22,252 --> 00:45:25,566
Ah. Nice age.
493
00:45:25,601 --> 00:45:28,881
Here she is.
494
00:45:48,011 --> 00:45:50,214
What the fuck do you mean, sir?
495
00:45:50,249 --> 00:45:52,181
Who did you say you were?
496
00:45:52,216 --> 00:45:54,551
- Who are you from? What did you say?
- Bond Street tube.
497
00:45:54,586 --> 00:45:58,088
What have they done with my son?
Where is he?
498
00:46:02,192 --> 00:46:04,226
Bond Street all right for you?
499
00:46:04,261 --> 00:46:08,065
Oh, yes. Perfect.
500
00:46:14,138 --> 00:46:17,940
Good afternoon.
501
00:46:17,975 --> 00:46:21,044
- Are you all right?
- Yes. Why do you ask?
502
00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:23,113
Well, you spoke to me.
503
00:46:23,148 --> 00:46:25,347
Yes, I'm fine.
504
00:46:25,382 --> 00:46:28,318
Well, would you like a cup of tea?
505
00:46:28,353 --> 00:46:30,285
Is he in?
506
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,313
No - No one's in.
507
00:46:44,468 --> 00:46:48,438
When do you expect him back?
508
00:46:48,473 --> 00:46:52,431
- Oh, Bill.
- What?
509
00:46:54,144 --> 00:46:57,279
He moved out last month.
510
00:46:57,314 --> 00:47:00,345
Well, why didn't you tell me?
511
00:47:00,380 --> 00:47:03,376
You never gave me a chance.
512
00:47:07,257 --> 00:47:11,161
- Don't you see him anymore?
- Sometimes.
513
00:47:11,196 --> 00:47:15,154
But it's over.
514
00:47:17,334 --> 00:47:21,327
Are you angry with me?
515
00:47:22,406 --> 00:47:25,808
I didn't much like your carving
that word on my front door.
516
00:47:25,843 --> 00:47:29,836
- I'm sorry.
- I had to pay the porter to take it off.
517
00:47:29,980 --> 00:47:31,982
- How much?
- Ten quid.
518
00:47:32,017 --> 00:47:35,975
Oh.
519
00:47:37,421 --> 00:47:39,423
Take it.
520
00:47:44,595 --> 00:47:48,588
Okay.
521
00:47:48,966 --> 00:47:51,967
I've decided to get a flat.
522
00:47:52,002 --> 00:47:55,038
Oh. That's good.
Where -Whereabouts?
523
00:47:55,073 --> 00:47:57,172
Hmm? Just round here.
524
00:47:57,207 --> 00:48:01,200
I'm, uh -Well, you know,
I'm keeping my eye on the papers.
525
00:48:04,615 --> 00:48:08,608
Yes, I thought I could have
Chris for the odd night.
526
00:48:10,053 --> 00:48:14,046
- You know, if you don't mind.
- Of course I don't mind. I'd be delighted.
527
00:48:14,391 --> 00:48:18,328
It's what I want.
Some rational arrangement.
528
00:48:18,363 --> 00:48:21,182
Oh. Good.
529
00:48:21,217 --> 00:48:23,966
Good.
530
00:48:30,407 --> 00:48:33,944
Anyway, I'd better be going now.
531
00:48:40,918 --> 00:48:44,186
Nice to see you again.
532
00:48:44,221 --> 00:48:46,388
Look, if there's anything, uh-
533
00:48:46,423 --> 00:48:49,660
No.
534
00:49:00,971 --> 00:49:03,040
Hey. What are you doing down there?
535
00:49:03,075 --> 00:49:07,033
Just listening.
536
00:50:15,412 --> 00:50:17,731
Yeah. The barrister's dynamite.
537
00:50:17,766 --> 00:50:20,015
Awful bugger called Mark Varda.
538
00:50:20,050 --> 00:50:23,053
- Really? I think I was at school with him.
- Oh, yes?
539
00:50:23,088 --> 00:50:25,806
What's he like?
540
00:50:25,841 --> 00:50:28,490
Posh, dark, rich.
541
00:50:28,525 --> 00:50:32,518
- How about yours?
- Short, fat and miserable.
542
00:50:33,263 --> 00:50:36,049
Used to get bullied all the time.
543
00:50:36,084 --> 00:50:38,794
Mostly by me, if the truth be told.
544
00:50:38,829 --> 00:50:41,505
He was also conspicuously smelly.
545
00:50:41,540 --> 00:50:44,106
Used to pong the place out.
546
00:50:44,141 --> 00:50:47,160
Well, he owns a yacht now.
547
00:50:47,195 --> 00:50:50,145
We used to call him shit-bum.
548
00:50:50,180 --> 00:50:52,716
It was one of those
very expensive schools, was it?
549
00:50:52,751 --> 00:50:56,518
- Mm-hmm.
550
00:50:56,553 --> 00:50:58,820
Well, I'm glad you've cheered up.
551
00:50:58,855 --> 00:51:02,224
- Yeah, I have been a bit of a pain, haven't I?
- You've been terrible.
552
00:51:02,259 --> 00:51:05,462
- Never knew what you were gonna come out with next.
- Oh, it wasrt that bad.
553
00:51:05,497 --> 00:51:08,794
You called me a hopeless alcoholic.
554
00:51:08,829 --> 00:51:12,091
Well, you are
a hopeless alcoholic.
555
00:51:18,208 --> 00:51:22,201
Wort be a minute.
556
00:51:26,450 --> 00:51:29,117
- What's her name?
- Mary Hall.
557
00:51:29,152 --> 00:51:32,222
- She's all right, isn't she?
- You mean to say you hadrt noticed?
558
00:51:32,257 --> 00:51:34,357
No, not really.
559
00:51:34,392 --> 00:51:37,859
Mary Hall.
560
00:51:37,894 --> 00:51:41,398
This is, uh, really good.
Just what we wanted.
561
00:51:41,433 --> 00:51:44,534
- Thank you.
- It's terrific.
562
00:52:07,557 --> 00:52:09,591
- Is anything the matter?
- No.
563
00:52:09,626 --> 00:52:13,562
It just seems such a long time.
564
00:52:13,597 --> 00:52:17,590
I thought it was like riding a bicycle.
565
00:52:19,736 --> 00:52:23,607
Also, it's, uh -
566
00:52:23,642 --> 00:52:25,874
What?
567
00:52:25,909 --> 00:52:29,902
Well, I'm not used to it
being so easy.
568
00:52:31,214 --> 00:52:35,207
See, when I was your age, I -
It was the middle of the sexual revolution, and...
569
00:52:35,652 --> 00:52:39,645
I can't tell you the rigmarole
we all had to go through.
570
00:52:39,956 --> 00:52:43,949
It's cold.
571
00:52:47,297 --> 00:52:50,233
I don't see there's any need
for all that song and dance.
572
00:52:50,268 --> 00:52:54,226
No.
573
00:53:31,675 --> 00:53:35,256
I really like these.
574
00:53:35,291 --> 00:53:38,837
God, they're terrific.
575
00:53:39,583 --> 00:53:43,587
- Do you sell many of them?
- Hardly ever.
576
00:53:43,622 --> 00:53:46,022
Don't you mind?
577
00:53:46,057 --> 00:53:49,224
No.
578
00:53:49,259 --> 00:53:52,761
I would. I -
Well, I did.
579
00:53:52,796 --> 00:53:56,433
I used to write novels, and, uh -
580
00:53:56,468 --> 00:53:58,733
They kept getting rejected.
581
00:53:58,768 --> 00:54:02,038
Anyway, I -
I burned the bloody lot.
582
00:54:02,073 --> 00:54:04,040
You gave up?
583
00:54:04,075 --> 00:54:07,776
Yes.
584
00:54:07,811 --> 00:54:11,804
I only do it because I enjoy it.
585
00:54:21,391 --> 00:54:24,361
Tell me. Don't you hate doing
illustrations for...
586
00:54:24,396 --> 00:54:26,930
you know, rubbishy part-works of-
587
00:54:26,965 --> 00:54:29,998
No.
588
00:54:30,033 --> 00:54:34,026
It means I can afford
to go on doing these.
589
00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:40,788
Now, that's terrific.
590
00:54:40,823 --> 00:54:44,036
Will you sell it to me?
591
00:54:47,751 --> 00:54:50,887
I'll give it to you.
592
00:55:02,699 --> 00:55:04,666
Hello.
593
00:55:04,701 --> 00:55:07,037
Yes, I'm afraid there's been
a half hour delay.
594
00:55:07,072 --> 00:55:11,030
Fancy a spot of fresh air?
595
00:55:22,619 --> 00:55:26,612
Ah, South London has a flavor
all of its own, doesn't it?
596
00:55:29,494 --> 00:55:31,926
Hello, muck!
Hiya, mire!
597
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:34,013
They're still out then, the dustmen?
598
00:55:34,048 --> 00:55:36,031
The awkward squad, eh?
599
00:55:36,066 --> 00:55:40,059
So exhilarating living in a period
of radical change.
600
00:55:40,937 --> 00:55:43,305
I suppose you think they're overpaid.
601
00:55:43,340 --> 00:55:45,975
On the contrary,
I think they should be paid twice as much.
602
00:55:46,010 --> 00:55:49,110
They should employ
half as many people.
603
00:55:49,145 --> 00:55:52,482
What to do with the surplus people -
that seems to be the problem.
604
00:55:52,517 --> 00:55:54,616
It's not about pay, actually.
605
00:55:54,651 --> 00:55:57,153
It's about the council wanting
to employ private contractors.
606
00:55:57,188 --> 00:56:00,623
I suppose change is the last thing
you'd want, isn't it?
607
00:56:00,658 --> 00:56:02,590
What are you talking about?
608
00:56:02,625 --> 00:56:05,161
Arert you a member of
the "forever young" generation...
609
00:56:05,196 --> 00:56:09,130
still hanging on to your illusions?
610
00:56:09,165 --> 00:56:12,985
Certainly not.
I have no illusions whatsoever.
611
00:56:13,020 --> 00:56:16,806
I don't see what's
so wrong with illusions.
612
00:56:16,841 --> 00:56:20,799
Word in your ear.
613
00:56:26,716 --> 00:56:30,709
Now, this is important.
Absolutely no reaction.
614
00:56:31,154 --> 00:56:34,022
- Oh, my God.
- What's the problem?
615
00:56:34,057 --> 00:56:37,093
- I thought solicitors werert allowed in court.
- County court they can.
616
00:56:37,128 --> 00:56:40,430
Don't worry.
We've got her over a barrel.
617
00:56:40,465 --> 00:56:42,397
Want to come in this time?
618
00:56:42,432 --> 00:56:44,799
- I didn't think-
- I'm sure we could swing it.
619
00:56:44,834 --> 00:56:48,471
You've done so much, seems unfair
to make you miss all the fun. Leonard.
620
00:56:48,506 --> 00:56:51,141
- Go straight up.
- Can we use an unpaid clerk?
621
00:56:51,176 --> 00:56:55,134
What?
622
00:56:55,211 --> 00:56:59,082
I suppose so. Sit next to me.
Don't say a word.
623
00:56:59,117 --> 00:57:03,075
Bow to the judge
when we arrive.
624
00:57:07,657 --> 00:57:10,593
Your Honor, uh, may I have a word
with my learned friend?
625
00:57:10,628 --> 00:57:14,586
- Very well, Miss Powell.
- Thank you.
626
00:57:15,165 --> 00:57:19,158
What the hell do you think you're doing?
627
00:57:25,942 --> 00:57:29,340
If I were to report you,
your feet wouldn't touch the ground.
628
00:57:29,375 --> 00:57:32,738
You're not going to be boring
about this, are you, Janie?
629
00:57:33,883 --> 00:57:36,653
When you're ready, Miss Powell.
630
00:57:36,688 --> 00:57:40,646
Yes, Your Honor.
631
00:57:58,775 --> 00:58:01,142
So, Your Honor...
632
00:58:01,177 --> 00:58:03,812
on the one hand we have the father...
633
00:58:03,847 --> 00:58:07,840
a man with a record of 15 years' service
to his profession.
634
00:58:08,017 --> 00:58:10,618
On the other hand, the mother...
635
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:14,646
who also possesses a record
of sorts.
636
00:58:15,825 --> 00:58:19,818
Sent down from university
for a prank involving narcotics.
637
00:58:20,697 --> 00:58:23,097
Suspended sentence
for disorderly conduct...
638
00:58:23,132 --> 00:58:26,803
at an antigovernment demonstration,
March, 1971.
639
00:58:26,838 --> 00:58:30,796
Fined for shoplifting,
July, 1973.
640
00:58:31,174 --> 00:58:35,167
Passport withdrawn for one year,
following an assault on a customs officer...
641
00:58:35,512 --> 00:58:39,505
in Italy, June, 1974.
642
00:58:39,749 --> 00:58:42,585
I should also like to draw
to Your Honor's attention...
643
00:58:42,620 --> 00:58:45,021
a series of articles and pamphlets...
644
00:58:45,056 --> 00:58:46,988
notably this publication...
645
00:58:47,023 --> 00:58:51,016
of the Crouch End Womers Collective...
646
00:58:51,194 --> 00:58:53,161
which I believe...
647
00:58:53,196 --> 00:58:56,165
has an especially relevant bearing
on Mrs. Miles's suitability...
648
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:00,158
as the sole guardian
of a young son.
649
00:59:12,248 --> 00:59:16,084
- Your relationship with Miss Bryant.
- Yes?
650
00:59:16,119 --> 00:59:20,112
- How long has it been going on?
- About 18 months.
651
00:59:20,189 --> 00:59:24,182
So this was before your separation
from Mr. Miles, in other words?
652
00:59:24,594 --> 00:59:26,728
Yes.
653
00:59:26,763 --> 00:59:30,756
And this was from the outset
a sexual relationship?
654
00:59:31,634 --> 00:59:33,635
Yes. It was.
655
00:59:33,670 --> 00:59:36,039
And did you conceal this
from your husband?
656
00:59:36,074 --> 00:59:38,006
No.
657
00:59:38,041 --> 00:59:42,034
And what was your husband's attitude
to the relationship?
658
00:59:43,112 --> 00:59:45,113
He didn't mind.
659
00:59:45,148 --> 00:59:48,868
- He didn't mind?
- No.
660
00:59:48,903 --> 00:59:52,554
I think he rather liked it.
661
00:59:52,589 --> 00:59:56,582
So you had absolutely no idea...
662
00:59:57,327 --> 01:00:01,320
that your wife was indulging in these practices
while you were living with her?
663
01:00:01,397 --> 01:00:03,765
None whatsoever.
664
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,793
And had you discovered that she was
indulging in these practices...
665
01:00:08,204 --> 01:00:11,673
can you tell us what
your reaction would have been?
666
01:00:11,708 --> 01:00:14,911
- I would have been very shocked.
- He's lying. You know you're lying.
667
01:00:14,946 --> 01:00:18,827
Will you please be quiet.!
668
01:00:18,862 --> 01:00:22,708
Sorry.
669
01:00:48,878 --> 01:00:51,813
I submit we may safely disregard...
670
01:00:51,848 --> 01:00:55,051
my client's high-spirited iconoclasm...
671
01:00:55,086 --> 01:00:57,018
of more than 10 years ago...
672
01:00:57,053 --> 01:01:01,046
and the minor scrapes into which she has,
like many another ofher generation...
673
01:01:02,725 --> 01:01:04,692
been led.
674
01:01:04,727 --> 01:01:07,962
Uh, as we've heard today,
she's put all this far behind her...
675
01:01:07,997 --> 01:01:11,990
and she now takes not the slightest interest
in any of the modern-
676
01:01:12,135 --> 01:01:16,128
current radical feminist movements.
677
01:01:16,372 --> 01:01:20,041
As to her relationship with Miss Bryant...
678
01:01:20,076 --> 01:01:23,746
which my client strongly maintains
her husband was not only aware of...
679
01:01:23,781 --> 01:01:26,047
but actually encouraged...
680
01:01:26,082 --> 01:01:30,075
Your Honor is certainly aware
of many recent cases...
681
01:01:30,953 --> 01:01:33,721
in which the principle
that a lesbian preference...
682
01:01:33,756 --> 01:01:36,926
in no way diminishes
a womars ability to be a good mother...
683
01:01:36,961 --> 01:01:40,762
has been upheld.
684
01:01:40,797 --> 01:01:43,399
I am prepared to accept
Miss Powell's contention...
685
01:01:43,434 --> 01:01:45,967
that her client's writings
and former opinions...
686
01:01:46,002 --> 01:01:49,995
however forcibly expressed,
have no bearing on the present situation.
687
01:01:50,406 --> 01:01:52,373
However...
688
01:01:52,408 --> 01:01:55,845
I cannot pretend to have gained
a very reassuring impression...
689
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,880
of Mrs. Miles's character
and stability...
690
01:01:58,915 --> 01:02:02,908
and I continue to regard the matter of
her open lesbianism with considerable seriousness.
691
01:02:05,288 --> 01:02:08,991
I fully appreciate that another court
might take a more lenient view...
692
01:02:09,026 --> 01:02:12,984
but this is not another court.
693
01:02:13,262 --> 01:02:17,255
Mr. Miles's failure to be aware of
what was going on under his nose...
694
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,169
may lay him open to
accusations of naļiļveté...
695
01:02:21,204 --> 01:02:25,197
but it is not a crime to be unobservant,
and I see no reason to doubt his word in this.
696
01:02:26,476 --> 01:02:30,178
The fact remains
that a lesbian relationship...
697
01:02:30,213 --> 01:02:33,082
is not a proper setting
for the rearing of a child...
698
01:02:33,117 --> 01:02:35,950
particularly when that child is a boy.
699
01:02:35,985 --> 01:02:38,886
I therefore see no reason
to vary my earlier order...
700
01:02:38,921 --> 01:02:42,914
giving interim custody, care and control
of the child to Mr. Miles.
701
01:02:43,459 --> 01:02:46,961
I now order a welfare report
in this matter.
702
01:02:46,996 --> 01:02:50,867
- I shall require an affidavit
from the applicant within 28 days...
703
01:02:50,902 --> 01:02:54,860
And a reply from the respondent
in 28 days thereafter.
704
01:03:01,344 --> 01:03:05,337
May I ask Your Honor
to reserve this matter to yourself?
705
01:03:06,516 --> 01:03:09,250
Yes. I don't see why not.
706
01:03:09,285 --> 01:03:12,566
The hearing of the full application
will be set down...
707
01:03:12,601 --> 01:03:15,847
once both parties have filed
certificates of readiness.
708
01:03:18,928 --> 01:03:21,229
Well, the next time should be a formality.
709
01:03:21,264 --> 01:03:24,267
The trick was to get the judge
to agree to preside over the final hearing.
710
01:03:24,302 --> 01:03:26,602
Same judge, same verdict.
That's the beauty of the system.
711
01:03:26,637 --> 01:03:29,605
I wish she hadrt cried.
Cheryl never cries.
712
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,108
Well -
713
01:03:32,143 --> 01:03:34,542
Hooper!
714
01:03:34,577 --> 01:03:38,570
You really are a vile
and despicable bastard!
715
01:03:53,462 --> 01:03:56,364
It was all very well her crying.
716
01:03:56,399 --> 01:04:00,102
I mean, you were crying
when I first met you.
717
01:04:00,137 --> 01:04:02,338
She didn't care, did she?
718
01:04:02,373 --> 01:04:06,331
I suppose not.
719
01:04:08,144 --> 01:04:11,581
She just tried to put one over on us.
That's all.
720
01:04:11,616 --> 01:04:14,984
And we put one over on her.
721
01:04:15,019 --> 01:04:18,977
Yeah.
722
01:04:19,288 --> 01:04:23,281
- I'll be able to cook for you when my flat is ready.
- Great.
723
01:04:30,399 --> 01:04:33,935
I don't know many people your age.
724
01:04:33,970 --> 01:04:36,439
Those I do, you never seem to get...
725
01:04:36,474 --> 01:04:40,107
very exercised.
726
01:04:40,142 --> 01:04:44,135
About anything.
Do you?
727
01:04:44,413 --> 01:04:48,316
Is that fair?
728
01:04:48,351 --> 01:04:52,344
I'm not sure you can generalize.
729
01:04:52,989 --> 01:04:56,025
Well, you know.
I mean, we've known each other-
730
01:04:56,060 --> 01:04:58,261
How long? What?
Six weeks, isn't it?
731
01:04:58,296 --> 01:05:01,028
And, uh...
732
01:05:01,063 --> 01:05:03,332
do you know we've never had
a single argument?
733
01:05:03,367 --> 01:05:06,369
Never had a breath of disagreement.
734
01:05:06,404 --> 01:05:08,704
Well, isn't that good?
735
01:05:08,739 --> 01:05:10,938
Well, yes.
736
01:05:10,973 --> 01:05:12,974
When I was at university...
737
01:05:13,009 --> 01:05:16,078
say, um, you had to fight all the way.
738
01:05:16,113 --> 01:05:19,148
It was all a question of...
739
01:05:19,183 --> 01:05:22,149
negotiated settlements.
740
01:05:22,184 --> 01:05:24,553
- Sounds exhausting.
- Well, yes.
741
01:05:24,588 --> 01:05:27,221
Huh. It was.
742
01:05:27,256 --> 01:05:29,725
But you preferred it that way?
743
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,692
No.
744
01:05:31,727 --> 01:05:35,720
No, I didn't say that.
745
01:05:41,304 --> 01:05:44,507
If there's anything we can do
to make it better for you...
746
01:05:44,542 --> 01:05:46,474
you have to tell me.
747
01:05:46,509 --> 01:05:49,973
You misunderstand me.
I'm just saying it -
748
01:05:50,008 --> 01:05:53,438
It's not what I'm used to.
That's all.
749
01:06:07,330 --> 01:06:09,397
There it is.
750
01:06:09,432 --> 01:06:12,501
I don't suppose any of our friends
will ever speak to me again.
751
01:06:12,536 --> 01:06:15,237
- What, because of Cheryl?
- Yeah.
752
01:06:15,272 --> 01:06:17,204
Janie Powell certainly won't.
753
01:06:17,239 --> 01:06:20,776
I used to know Cheryl a bit.
I always thought she was a really patronizing bitch.
754
01:06:20,811 --> 01:06:24,769
- Did you?
- Then I realized it was all front. She's actually very weak.
755
01:06:25,982 --> 01:06:27,949
Anyway, I don't see what you did wrong.
756
01:06:27,984 --> 01:06:31,003
She had no right to bunk off
to Australia with the little boy.
757
01:06:31,038 --> 01:06:34,023
Anyway, the judge decided
Roger would make a better parent.
758
01:06:34,058 --> 01:06:36,726
- That's not your fault, is it?
- No. I suppose not.
759
01:06:36,761 --> 01:06:40,719
Here we are.
760
01:06:45,501 --> 01:06:49,494
Huh.
761
01:07:32,048 --> 01:07:34,048
One thing...
762
01:07:34,083 --> 01:07:38,076
if you got this far, doesn't look as though
you're ever planning to come back to me.
763
01:07:39,121 --> 01:07:43,114
Well, do you want me to come back?
764
01:07:44,060 --> 01:07:47,361
Supposing I said yes?
765
01:07:47,396 --> 01:07:51,032
Well, then, I'd come back.
766
01:07:51,067 --> 01:07:54,770
- Got your fingers crossed.
- I haven't.
767
01:07:54,805 --> 01:07:57,190
You wouldn't do it.
768
01:07:57,225 --> 01:07:59,575
Well, try me then.
769
01:08:04,513 --> 01:08:06,682
Yes, we were pretty bad
in the end, werert we?
770
01:08:06,717 --> 01:08:08,649
Awful.
771
01:08:08,684 --> 01:08:10,785
I can always sell this place,
you know, if we -
772
01:08:10,820 --> 01:08:14,813
We could have had this conversation
months ago. Why didn't we?
773
01:08:15,257 --> 01:08:19,250
Because we felt things so strongly.
The feelings always got in the way.
774
01:08:26,168 --> 01:08:29,872
You are the love of my life though.
775
01:08:29,907 --> 01:08:32,440
Oh, yes.
776
01:08:32,475 --> 01:08:36,468
You just can't stand
to live with me. That's all.
777
01:09:00,536 --> 01:09:03,455
- This is really nice.
- Do you like it?
778
01:09:03,490 --> 01:09:06,340
Do you think Christopher will like it?
779
01:09:06,375 --> 01:09:10,368
- I'm going to show him on Saturday.
- Mmm.
780
01:09:11,847 --> 01:09:15,840
You can't stand to
live with me either, can you?
781
01:09:16,619 --> 01:09:20,612
Perhaps you're right.
782
01:09:24,727 --> 01:09:28,720
Tell you the truth,
I'm much happier on my own.
783
01:09:29,632 --> 01:09:32,800
For the time being anyway.
784
01:09:32,835 --> 01:09:36,828
Well, we shall just have to
bring up Christopher as best we can.
785
01:09:37,239 --> 01:09:41,232
- Yes.
- As long as I can have a - a part of him.
786
01:09:42,244 --> 01:09:44,713
You do. Of course you will.
787
01:09:44,748 --> 01:09:48,282
You're his father.
788
01:09:48,317 --> 01:09:51,387
And you're a good father.
789
01:09:51,422 --> 01:09:53,554
Ah.
790
01:09:53,589 --> 01:09:57,582
I've really enjoyed seeing you again.
791
01:09:58,561 --> 01:10:02,554
I must fetch Christopher.
792
01:11:52,708 --> 01:11:55,075
What's the matter?
793
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:59,103
I don't know.
794
01:11:59,782 --> 01:12:03,775
Something I've been meaning to tell you
for some time now, and, uh -
795
01:12:06,722 --> 01:12:10,715
I think we should stop seeing each other.
796
01:12:12,761 --> 01:12:15,462
Why?
797
01:12:15,497 --> 01:12:19,490
It's nothing to do with you. It's just me.
It's something I'm going through. I -
798
01:12:19,668 --> 01:12:22,137
I'm no good to you.
799
01:12:22,172 --> 01:12:24,571
But you are. You are.
800
01:12:24,606 --> 01:12:28,599
It's just my feelings are all used up. I -
801
01:12:29,078 --> 01:12:31,912
I can't seem to care anymore. So -
802
01:12:31,947 --> 01:12:35,851
- I've got nothing left to give.
- Of course you have.
803
01:12:35,886 --> 01:12:38,754
And even if it's true, I don't mind.
804
01:12:38,789 --> 01:12:42,122
Hmm.
805
01:12:42,157 --> 01:12:45,561
I'm sorry.
806
01:12:52,434 --> 01:12:55,704
- There isn't someone else?
- No, it's not like that.
807
01:12:55,739 --> 01:12:57,671
It's just me.
808
01:12:57,706 --> 01:12:59,740
Do you like being on your own?
809
01:12:59,775 --> 01:13:03,768
No, I don't like it,
but it seems to be what's required.
810
01:13:08,016 --> 01:13:11,086
I suppose it's nobody's fault.
811
01:13:14,189 --> 01:13:18,182
No.
812
01:13:34,643 --> 01:13:38,636
Bill.
813
01:13:58,467 --> 01:14:02,460
- I was going to ask you.
- What's that?
814
01:14:05,207 --> 01:14:08,076
- I wanted us to have a baby.
- Oh, God, no.
815
01:14:08,111 --> 01:14:10,944
That's not what I mean.
816
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:14,972
- So- I want to explain to you.
- It doesn't matter.
817
01:14:15,250 --> 01:14:19,243
It does. That's what I'm trying to
talk to you about.
818
01:14:23,492 --> 01:14:27,485
It's Christopher.
819
01:14:28,931 --> 01:14:32,924
Emmy and I were all right
until he was born.
820
01:14:34,470 --> 01:14:38,463
That's when it started to go wrong.
821
01:14:39,575 --> 01:14:42,978
All -All the love that's going,
they take it all.
822
01:14:43,013 --> 01:14:44,945
They...
823
01:14:44,980 --> 01:14:48,482
suck you dry.
824
01:14:48,517 --> 01:14:52,510
I couldn't stand
living with him anymore.
825
01:14:56,024 --> 01:15:00,017
So, when I left,
it wasrt Emmy I was leaving.
826
01:15:00,829 --> 01:15:04,822
It was him.
827
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,794
- Yeah.
- Hello?
828
01:16:07,829 --> 01:16:10,597
- Hello, Bill? It's Roger.
- Roger?
829
01:16:10,632 --> 01:16:13,635
- Yeah. Hi, Bill. Sorry- Sorry if I woke you.
- Roger?
830
01:16:13,670 --> 01:16:16,789
Yes. We -We got the final hearing.
831
01:16:16,824 --> 01:16:19,908
- Yeah, uh -
- 3:00, Battersea.
832
01:16:19,943 --> 01:16:21,942
- 3:00.
- Yeah. Okay?
833
01:16:21,977 --> 01:16:23,944
- Yeah.
- I'll see you there.
834
01:16:23,979 --> 01:16:26,748
- I'll be there.
- All right. Thanks. Sorry.
835
01:16:26,783 --> 01:16:30,741
- Sorry to - Bye.
- Yeah.
836
01:17:25,440 --> 01:17:29,433
- Is there anything I can do?
- Mind your own fucking business.
837
01:18:00,742 --> 01:18:03,944
I see there's no provision
in the agreed order...
838
01:18:03,979 --> 01:18:07,972
to prevent the boy being taken
to his mother's present home.
839
01:18:08,283 --> 01:18:11,086
Your Honor,
arrangements for access have been made...
840
01:18:11,121 --> 01:18:13,820
to the satisfaction ofboth parties.
841
01:18:13,855 --> 01:18:17,726
What the parties have agreed to and what
the court feels to be the correct solution...
842
01:18:17,761 --> 01:18:19,760
are not necessarily
one and the same thing.
843
01:18:19,795 --> 01:18:22,998
Mr. Miles has no objection
to the access arrangement.
844
01:18:23,033 --> 01:18:25,365
He may well not, Mr. Varda,
but I do.
845
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:29,393
In my judgment, as long as the mother
continues to live in her present circumstances...
846
01:18:30,038 --> 01:18:34,031
there can be no question of the child
being allowed access visits to her address.
847
01:18:34,209 --> 01:18:36,810
- It's yourjob to know.
- It's not myjob to know.
848
01:18:36,845 --> 01:18:39,746
It's myjob to advise you. I don't know
exactly what they're gonna give you.
849
01:18:39,781 --> 01:18:43,385
- You're supposed to fucking know.
- I don't know. Stop swearing! This is a court of law.
850
01:18:43,420 --> 01:18:45,919
- You smug -
- I beg your pardon.
851
01:18:45,954 --> 01:18:48,323
- If you're not careful -
- You'll be in fucking hospital.
852
01:18:48,358 --> 01:18:50,759
- Oh, yes. And who's gonna do that?
- Me, mate. Yeah.
853
01:18:50,794 --> 01:18:54,494
Congratulations.
854
01:18:54,529 --> 01:18:58,400
Tell me something.
Just as a matter of interest.
855
01:18:58,435 --> 01:19:00,502
Anything similar in your own life?
856
01:19:04,940 --> 01:19:07,007
What do you mean?
857
01:19:07,042 --> 01:19:09,578
Separation, divorce...
858
01:19:09,613 --> 01:19:12,114
afraid of losing a child?
859
01:19:12,149 --> 01:19:16,107
Yeah, I suppose so.
860
01:19:16,151 --> 01:19:18,885
Thought as much.
It's always the way.
861
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,913
Crony in the background vicariously
working out his own anger- or her.
862
01:19:24,192 --> 01:19:27,262
Much more commonly a woman
of course.
863
01:19:27,297 --> 01:19:31,255
Is it?
864
01:19:31,433 --> 01:19:35,426
Anyway,
hope you're feeling better now.
865
01:19:36,772 --> 01:19:40,765
Tell me something.
866
01:19:41,309 --> 01:19:45,302
Does the name shit-bum
mean anything to you?
867
01:19:47,115 --> 01:19:51,086
What an extraordinary thing to say.
868
01:19:51,121 --> 01:19:53,522
Fucking -
869
01:19:55,857 --> 01:19:57,958
Get off!
870
01:19:57,993 --> 01:20:01,986
Get your fuckir hands off me!
Get off!
871
01:20:07,936 --> 01:20:11,929
Bill.
872
01:20:19,247 --> 01:20:23,240
Bill.
873
01:21:08,096 --> 01:21:11,666
Oh, God.
874
01:21:11,701 --> 01:21:15,659
Oh!
875
01:21:23,912 --> 01:21:26,548
I hate this... filthy, horrible place.
876
01:21:26,583 --> 01:21:29,449
Yeah.
877
01:21:29,484 --> 01:21:32,485
- I wish they'd build on it.
- All right.
878
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:36,291
You make me sick! You wouldn't have done
any of this if it hadrt been for me.
879
01:21:36,326 --> 01:21:39,659
- I would.
- You bloody wouldn't!
880
01:21:39,694 --> 01:21:42,163
You only wanted to get
a solicitor's letter.
881
01:21:42,198 --> 01:21:45,599
Bollocks!
882
01:21:45,634 --> 01:21:47,601
I played a part in this as well.
883
01:21:47,636 --> 01:21:51,367
- You can't deny that.
- I don't.
884
01:21:51,402 --> 01:21:55,099
And I didn't do it for you either.
885
01:21:56,444 --> 01:21:59,080
I was thinking of Emmy,
and I was thinking of Christopher.
886
01:21:59,115 --> 01:22:03,073
No, I wasrt!
I was thinking of me!
887
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:09,113
I didn't think of anyone else but me.
888
01:22:12,460 --> 01:22:16,229
I just wanted to hit out!
889
01:22:16,264 --> 01:22:19,267
- I wanted to do some damage!
- I know that.
890
01:22:19,302 --> 01:22:22,235
I'm not a complete idiot.
891
01:22:22,270 --> 01:22:26,263
Come on.
I want you to come home with me.
892
01:22:26,574 --> 01:22:30,567
- No. I can't.
- I think you should.
893
01:22:55,603 --> 01:22:59,596
Now?
894
01:23:00,542 --> 01:23:03,677
How is he? Ah!
895
01:23:03,712 --> 01:23:06,346
- He's had a bit of a cold.
- He's fine.
896
01:23:06,381 --> 01:23:08,481
How did it go?
897
01:23:08,516 --> 01:23:11,453
Same as we thought,
except the judge added a provision...
898
01:23:11,488 --> 01:23:14,440
that he's not supposed to visit you
where you live.
899
01:23:14,475 --> 01:23:17,392
But we don't have to worry about that.
900
01:23:19,794 --> 01:23:22,095
So that's it.
901
01:23:22,130 --> 01:23:24,531
- It's over.
- Right.
902
01:23:24,566 --> 01:23:27,802
- Have to rush.
- What time shall I bring him over tomorrow?
903
01:23:27,837 --> 01:23:31,137
- About 6:00.
- Fine.
904
01:23:31,172 --> 01:23:35,165
- Bye now.
- Bye-bye, Mummy.
905
01:23:40,181 --> 01:23:44,174
Cheryl.
906
01:23:45,153 --> 01:23:49,146
Your bag.
907
01:23:50,825 --> 01:23:54,661
Thanks.
908
01:23:54,696 --> 01:23:57,330
Okay. That's it.
909
01:23:57,365 --> 01:24:01,358
Bye-bye.
Take care.
910
01:24:07,375 --> 01:24:10,076
What's that called?
911
01:24:10,111 --> 01:24:14,104
The Spanish conquer the universe.
912
01:24:22,090 --> 01:24:24,342
We've been talking it over.
913
01:24:24,377 --> 01:24:26,559
Wejust want to share him.
914
01:24:26,594 --> 01:24:29,497
- But you can't. The judge -
- Bugger that.
915
01:24:29,532 --> 01:24:32,896
How are they going to find out?
916
01:24:32,931 --> 01:24:36,260
- You gonna tell them?
- No.
917
01:24:40,608 --> 01:24:43,576
I don't understand.
918
01:24:43,611 --> 01:24:47,582
I asked Jane if we could just skip the whole thing
today, say we'd come to an agreement...
919
01:24:47,617 --> 01:24:50,819
but she said the judge is so bloody-minded
he might have turned against us...
920
01:24:50,854 --> 01:24:52,821
and have Richard taken into care.
921
01:24:52,856 --> 01:24:55,121
Oh, I see.
922
01:24:55,156 --> 01:24:58,253
What about Australia?
923
01:24:58,288 --> 01:25:01,351
She decided against it.
924
01:25:02,163 --> 01:25:04,866
Jeanie's going on her own now.
925
01:25:04,901 --> 01:25:08,568
Oh.
926
01:25:08,603 --> 01:25:12,507
- When you get the bills, um -
- I've had Scruby's already.
927
01:25:12,542 --> 01:25:15,308
Yeah? How was it?
928
01:25:15,343 --> 01:25:18,078
- Colossal.
- Oh.
929
01:25:18,113 --> 01:25:20,832
Well, uh -
Look, you know, just -
930
01:25:20,867 --> 01:25:23,551
- It's all right.
- No. We agreed.
931
01:25:23,586 --> 01:25:25,518
It's all right.
932
01:25:25,553 --> 01:25:29,190
- Cheryl's gonna help me out.
- Cheryl?
933
01:25:29,225 --> 01:25:31,593
She's got a job.
934
01:25:31,628 --> 01:25:34,661
Oh.
935
01:25:34,696 --> 01:25:38,689
Oh. Huh.
936
01:25:48,143 --> 01:25:50,845
I don't expect we'll be seeing
so much of each other.
937
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,146
No.
938
01:25:53,181 --> 01:25:55,884
But, you know -
939
01:25:55,919 --> 01:25:59,586
Ah.
940
01:25:59,621 --> 01:26:03,590
Well, I'm glad it worked out.
941
01:26:03,625 --> 01:26:06,494
It did work out, didn't it, though?
942
01:26:06,529 --> 01:26:09,943
I think we did the right thing.
943
01:26:09,978 --> 01:26:13,357
Well, we certainly jerked her lead.
944
01:26:14,369 --> 01:26:17,839
Why did you have to say that?
945
01:26:17,874 --> 01:26:20,904
I wouldn't have.
946
01:26:20,939 --> 01:26:23,934
Except it's true.
