No, it's in the family, see?

Take my brother.

He's paying out hundreds a year

in alimony.

Well, thousands.

Mind you, I'm fly.

What do you think I've got

waiting for me when I get home?

The rent collector?

Rent collector -

He's a bit of a humorist,

our Wally.

Tucked up nice and warm

in bed with the wife.

That's what I said -

the rent collector.

I'll hit you in a minute!

Go it, Taffy.

No, there's two of them, see?

There's Beryl and this other

little dark one - Alice -

just lying there waiting for it,

crying out for it.

Three in a bed, eh?

How about that?

You can have

my old woman if you like.

That will make up the set.

Thanks very much.

I'll take you up on that

one day.

Oh, well, if you're traveling

around like me,

you know, it's, uh,

Brighton one day

and Birmingham the next.

You usually manage

to pick up a bit on the way.

That's not all you pick up

if you go on like that.

Oh, no, no, no.

These aren't scrubbers

like you might get, man.

These is ladies - rich ladies.

You know, get bored -

They're wanting a bit of fun.

Elegant, but, uh, passionate.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Come on, you - Out. Out.

Beryl wants me here.

She may need me here.

I don't bloody need you here,

and it's my bed!

Don't wake her. She's tired.

I'm tired, too!

I'm tired of having you around,

so get out!

And you leave us in peace!

You, get back in bed!

Just for tonight.

She may not be well.

Whose fault is that?!

Be quiet!

Come on - Out!

Let go of her!

Take your hands off me!

Don't you touch me!

What is it, Reg?

That's the Evanses again.

Aaah!

You bloody touch me again!

I'm throwing her out!

Don't be so bloody silly!

It's my bloody house!

I've got rights

in my own bloody house!

Now then, now then, now then.

What's all this about?

It's all her, Mr. Christie!

You just calm down.

It's because I've got Alice

staying here a night.

In my bloody bed!

And I'm meant to stay

on the floor in the kitchen!

All right, all right.

There's no need for language.

This is an apartment

for two persons.

That's quite clear in the lease.

What lease?

The statutory regulations.

Alice is just staying with me

because I'm not well.

Never mind about that.

/ know the law.

Now then...

you can't be guaranteed

security of tenure

if you're overcrowded.

That is a regulation.

That's right, my girl.

You put your shoes on

and go about your business.

Why should she?!

It's all right. I'll go.

Any more of this sort

of behavior,

and out you go - both of you.

I just want a bit

of peace, Mr. Christie.

All right, then.

Beryl...

Beryl, if you're not well,

you shouldn't be larking around

at this time of night.

You should see a doctor.

Lovely day today,

Mr. Christie, ain't it?

Very nice. Yes.

Oh, hello, Beryl.

How are you today?

Oh, I'm fine.

Thank you, Mr. Christie.

Have you been to see

the doctor yet?

The doctor?

Oh, uh, no.

Hmm.

Well, won't you come in a minute?

Well, I've got the -

I've just put the kettle on.

Oh.

Well, sit down, Beryl.

Do. In the deck chair.

Now, what is all this trouble

between you and Tim?

And don't try and

tell me there isn't any trouble.

No.

You're very young, you know.

Unexperienced.

Things which may seem

great problems to you

may seem simpler to

an older head, you know?

Well, it's just that I'm -

I'm going to have a baby.

Yes, I see.

Tim, I suppose,

is none too keen...

on this, uh,

addition to the family.

No. Well, I'm not, either.

I-I took some pills yesterday.

Pills?

Yes, they -

They didn't work, though.

You see, Mr. Christie, Tim

only gets 7 pounds a week.

Well... we can't afford

another baby now.

No. I understand that.

I, uh...

I do know people -

medical people -

who could help you out.

But that would cost money,

wouldn't it?

Yes, that's - That's true.

Yeah.

That's true, I'm afraid.

They're very eminent men.

One particularly I have in mind,

I used to assist him

in his earlier days.

Studied with him.

It's, uh,

it's quite a simple matter.

You - You mean you know

how to do it, Mr. Christie?

Oh, yes.

Oh, that's not a problem.

I've seen it done 100 times.

Terminations we called them.

I had to learn about that

in the police.

Well...

I suppose you c-couldn't -

Oh, I - I know

it's against the law

and everything.

Oh, no, that's -

That's all right...

as long as nobody goes

telling tales out of school.

Sugar?

No, I-

It's the moral question

that concerns me.

I wouldn't tell a soul-

honestly.

The taking of life...

no matter how rudimentary...

Well... it's not, really.

I'd be... ever so grateful,

Mr. Christie.

All right, I Will.

I didn't -

It's such a weight off my mind.

Honestly, Mr. Christie.

Honestly.

Well -

W-When do you think you could -

Oh, well, do you think

you could -

Well, you have a word

with Tim tonight, huh?

Yes.

And perhaps we'll be able

to fit you in tomorrow.

Yes.

What are you doing here?

Now then, now then.

I thought we'd go

to the pictures.

Oh, did you then? Yes.

Now, Mrs. Christie

is looking after Geraldine...

and you and I are going to have

a night out, okay?

Well, all right then. Come on.

Hold the bus!

And when the fields

Are fresh and gree-e-e-e-e-n

I will take you to your home

Ka-a-a-a-thleen

Here's out.

Did you like it?

The film.

Oh, it was all right.

I didn't see too much of it.

I like Gregory Peck.

He's okay.

You know, you're

a bit like him to look at.

Good God, girl,

you've hardly had one drink.

No, no, you are.

He's about 7'3 for a start-off.

I know,

but just around the eyes,

you look like him.

Mr. Christie

was talking to me today.

About last night?

Oh, no. He was okay about that.

He, uh...

Well, he said

he might be able to help us.

Huh?

About the baby, you know.

Oh?

Well, what's he think he can do?

Well, he's had experience

with things like that.

You mean...

getting rid of it?

Termination, it's called.

Oh, I - No,

I don't know about that, Beryl.

I don't think he wants money

or anything like that.

That's not what I mean.

Tim... we can't have

another kiddie now.

You know we can't.

Well, I - I know I could always

get a bigger job -

pays more cash.

I could go to night school -

get qualified in something.

Well, what's he do, anyhow?

I don't know.

Here.

All right then.

Mind the beer, girl.

Tim...

will you tell Mr. Christie

it's all right

when you go down the stairs?

I don't like it, Beryl. Oh, Tim.

You can't go back on it now.

Okay, okay.

Mr. Christie?

Mr. Christie?

Oh, there you are, Mr. Christie.

Oh, Tim, come in, come in.

Look, Mr. Christie,

Beryl's been telling -

Shut the door, will you?

Do you mind?

Oh, no.

Tim...

I dislike this business

as much as you do.

Well, I don't know -

It's just that I happened to

have picked up this knowledge

whilst I was in training

as a doctor

before the war.

Oh, I didn't know you did

all this medical stuff.

Oh, yes.

Yes, yes, unfortunately,

my training

was interrupted
