| [00:29.57] |
' Everybody Down! |
| [00:30.79] |
He' ll be here in a second, I reckon' |
| [00:32.88] |
And Becky beckoned them round |
| [00:34.35] |
And made them get on their knees |
| [00:35.17] |
Behind the bar |
| [00:36.78] |
They held their breath |
| [00:37.24] |
And stifled giggles |
| [00:37.90] |
Crouched down |
| [00:38.58] |
Like a twentyheaded beast |
| [00:39.42] |
That writhed and wriggled |
| [00:40.47] |
' Happy Birthday, Pete! |
| [00:42.05] |
Another year older, eh?' |
| [00:43.29] |
' I never expected a thing |
| [00:44.63] |
I don' t know what to say.' |
| [00:46.00] |
Harry couldn' t look at the way |
| [00:47.41] |
Pete held Becky' s hands |
| [00:48.71] |
Still he passed him a beer and said |
| [00:50.06] |
' Well, there you go, big man.' |
| [01:02.70] |
' Harry, this is Ron |
| [01:03.59] |
Ron, this is Harry, my brother |
| [01:05.69] |
You guys should really talk to one another |
| [01:07.70] |
Ron runs the caff and |
| [01:09.43] |
Harry' s starting up a place up of his own if he can.' |
| [01:12.08] |
They raised their glasses up |
| [01:13.52] |
' Good to meet you, Ron.' |
| [01:14.64] |
' Ah, pleasure' s all mine.' |
| [01:15.72] |
Ron looks into Harry' s eyes and recognises how they shine |
| [01:18.38] |
Harry. He says the name to himself |
| [01:21.26] |
Before he' s led away and introduced to someone else |
| [01:30.21] |
' Becky, this is Dale,' |
| [01:30.92] |
Pete' s drunk now, warm inside |
| [01:32.09] |
Dale' s awkward with a sort of |
| [01:33.78] |
Distorted and cautious pride on his face |
| [01:35.58] |
' Actually, we' ve met' |
| [01:36.83] |
' Really? I' m sorry,' says Becky |
| [01:38.20] |
' Don' t pretend that you forgot me already?' |
| [01:40.28] |
' Where' d you meet?' says Pete |
| [01:41.73] |
Big smile, white teeth |
| [01:43.32] |
' She was working, you remember |
| [01:44.80] |
It was you that made me ring her?' |
| [01:45.97] |
It hits Pete, like a fist |
| [01:48.03] |
Where every finger wears a ring |
| [01:49.64] |
He couldn' t blink or breathe or think or anything |
| [01:51.84] |
' Yeah, you remember? |
| [01:52.56] |
The twentythird of November |
| [01:54.40] |
I met you in the Hotel Hacienda |
| [01:55.96] |
We had a couple drinks |
| [01:58.42] |
You knew the bartender |
| [01:59.70] |
You had a Whisky Sour |
| [02:00.95] |
And I had a Monumenta |
| [02:02.66] |
We went up in the lift |
| [02:03.81] |
They was playing Enya |
| [02:05.06] |
That made you laugh |
| [02:06.52] |
You said that Enya sent ya round the bend |
| [02:08.56] |
Pete was scared that you' d been sleeping with men |
| [02:10.45] |
So he asked me to investigate |
| [02:11.83] |
Now, in your defense |
| [02:13.13] |
You was very professional |
| [02:14.85] |
I was very tense |
| [02:16.06] |
But I have to say my favorite part |
| [02:17.76] |
Was the Happy End.' |
| [02:30.10] |
Ron was in the toilets, washing his hands |
| [02:32.41] |
When he heard what sounded like a man |
| [02:33.75] |
Sniffing a whole gram |
| [02:35.25] |
In one go |
| [02:35.97] |
Harry walked out of the cubicle, ' Oh! |
| [02:37.77] |
Alright, Ron?' |
| [02:39.36] |
Ron tapped his nose |
| [02:40.77] |
' You ain' t got a spare line?' |
| [02:42.15] |
Harry smiled, ' No sweat.' |
| [02:43.32] |
Handed him the wrap and said, ' I' m going for a cigarette |
| [02:46.22] |
I' ll meet you at the bar, mine' s a pint of Sea View.' |
| [02:48.71] |
Ron only had to look at the coke |
| [02:50.45] |
And he knew |
| [03:02.26] |
She was dumbstruck |
| [03:03.30] |
She could feel herself going numb |
| [03:04.69] |
Clutched thumbs in her fists |
| [03:06.61] |
Felt unstuck |
| [03:07.67] |
' This is wrong! |
| [03:08.65] |
Fuck this!' |
| [03:09.46] |
Her stomach heaved |
| [03:10.71] |
' You set me up |
| [03:11.96] |
Instead of just talking to me? |
| [03:13.13] |
What about trust?' |
| [03:14.73] |
Guts twisted |
| [03:15.79] |
Pete was stuck to the spot, his lips shifted |
| [03:18.16] |
He couldn' t make a sound |
| [03:19.59] |
Dale stood still, calm |
| [03:21.66] |
Pete stared dumb |
| [03:22.89] |
Reached out, touched her arm |
| [03:25.50] |
She shook it off |
| [03:26.05] |
So livid, so hurt |
| [03:27.07] |
She walked away without saying another word |
| [03:29.72] |
He was about to follow |
| [03:31.05] |
But saw Dale hiding a smile |
| [03:32.60] |
Then he couldn' t help it |
| [03:34.22] |
He saw red, he went wild |
| [03:40.84] |
' Alright, look, son |
| [03:41.57] |
I know we' ve come to have a party |
| [03:43.32] |
So have a couple of drinks |
| [03:44.85] |
And a dance with your auntie |
| [03:46.25] |
But hear this |
| [03:47.14] |
Let' s clear this up right now |
| [03:48.73] |
Your numbers are up, son |
| [03:50.32] |
I have found you out |
| [03:51.66] |
You don' t know who I work for |
| [03:53.84] |
Men who have hurt more |
| [03:55.09] |
Men than the world wars |
| [03:56.43] |
When you were first born |
| [03:57.97] |
They were killing men who were worth more |
| [04:00.03] |
Than ten of your kind |
| [04:01.04] |
Are you out of your mind? |
| [04:02.78] |
Look, don' t worry, son |
| [04:04.18] |
I' m in no hurry, son |
| [04:05.50] |
I' ll have you on the run |
| [04:06.48] |
Like a funny curry, son |
| [04:08.08] |
Go back inside and make sure |
| [04:09.93] |
Your brother' s having fun |
| [04:10.76] |
Just know this: |
| [04:11.86] |
Any day now, I' ll be coming son.' |
| [04:22.94] |
Becky ran out to the street feeling weak |
| [04:23.03] |
She took a breath |
| [04:24.33] |
Heart slamming its head against the wall of her chest |
| [04:26.96] |
She looked to her left |
| [04:28.09] |
Saw Ron, shoulders squared |
| [04:29.32] |
Talking to Harry |
| [04:30.93] |
Harry looked awkward, scared |
| [04:32.86] |
' What' s this, mother' s meeting? |
| [04:33.94] |
Come on, Harry, need your help.' |
| [04:35.08] |
She walked him off as Ron watched |
| [04:37.00] |
Harry felt himself melt |
| [04:38.09] |
' Becky,' he began |
| [04:39.51] |
But he couldn' t finish |
| [04:40.71] |
He fiddled with a cigarette |
| [04:42.09] |
Held it between his fingers |
| [04:43.46] |
' What' s up?' |
| [04:44.18] |
She didn' t need to ask, she could feel it there |
| [04:45.85] |
' You got yourself in trouble with my Uncle?' |
| [04:48.18] |
' Yeah' |
| [04:49.30] |
He stared at the skyline |
| [04:50.35] |
He tried find the right words |
| [04:51.68] |
' I gotta leave town |
| [04:52.92] |
And tonight at the latest.' |
| [04:54.21] |
They stopped walking, turned |
| [04:55.60] |
Looked into each other' s faces |
| [04:56.86] |
' And I want you to come with me.' |
| [04:58.50] |
Time stopped |
| [04:59.27] |
Harry waited |
| [05:01.81] |
She said nothing |
| [05:02.47] |
She raised her eyebrows |
| [05:03.96] |
Like he did on the night they met |
| [05:06.16] |
In this way they spoke at length |
| [05:09.21] |
And his heart heard what her eyes said |
| [05:12.34] |
He said nothing |
| [05:13.64] |
He just felt and hoped that he was understood |
| [05:17.41] |
Then she felt something in her melt |
| [05:20.01] |
And lightning flashed and thunder shook |
| [05:22.98] |
He stared at her until she heard him |
| [05:24.61] |
Felt an energy go surging through her person |
| [05:25.87] |
Something in his eyes |
| [05:27.27] |
She felt her body bursting |
| [05:28.47] |
She kissed him |
| [05:29.31] |
And it reached a part of her that had been sleeping |
| [05:31.18] |
And she felt his heart beating in her own |
| [05:32.93] |
She felt complete and so known |
| [05:34.13] |
They didn' t speak |
| [05:35.16] |
Ran down the street |
| [05:36.56] |
Leon had the motor running |
| [05:37.83] |
And they jumped in the back seat |
| [05:39.15] |
Becky felt peace when she looked at his face |
| [05:41.64] |
' Lets us three get on a plane and open up Harry' s Place' |
| [05:44.85] |
He stared at her, ' Really?' |
| [05:46.16] |
She nodded, his pulsed raced |
| [05:47.35] |
He reached down beside him |
| [05:49.06] |
Brought out a suitcase |
| [05:50.08] |
Stuffed full of cash |
| [05:51.65] |
Leon smiled at them both |
| [05:52.78] |
' Let' s fucking do it,' He said |
| [05:54.67] |
Away they drove |
| [06:01.37] |
Dale and Pete |
| [06:01.92] |
Were in a pile of trainers and feet |
| [06:03.54] |
Clenched fists and black eyes and chipped teeth |
| [06:06.37] |
Their dads had tried |
| [06:07.62] |
To get inbetween them |
| [06:09.36] |
It was like they couldn' t wait to get involved |
| [06:11.53] |
Graham was beating David' s skull with his elbows |
| [06:13.37] |
David was kneeing Graham' s nether regions |
| [06:15.64] |
And Miriam was at the bar weeping |
| [06:17.42] |
Ron was pleased as punch |
| [06:18.98] |
With the outcome of the evening |
| [06:20.32] |
While Becky, Harry and Leon headed for the beyond |
| [06:23.91] |
Off to Dover for the ferry |
| [06:25.06] |
And from there, wherever |
| [06:26.08] |
Harry looked at Becky |
| [06:27.22] |
' Let' s feel this way forever?' |
| [06:28.75] |
Off to Dover for the ferry |
| [06:31.05] |
And from there, wherever |
| [06:31.67] |
Harry looked at Becky, said |
| [06:32.22] |
' Let' s feel this way forever!' |
