GENERAL CHATTER:

Whoa!

What the f*** are you doing?

Get out before I call the police.

That's it.

I've had enough of this sh*t.

- Get out of my f***ing bar.

- Hey, drop it. Drop it.

I'm sorry.

Please, I'm sorry.

My name's Frankie.

Look, we're really not

looking for trouble.

Please, take the money

and we'll move on. Alright?

Please, I'm really sorry.

- Fair enough.

- Sorry, everyone.

PUNCHING AND GRUNTING

BEATING CONTINUES

LOUD MUSIC:

- What the f*** is that racket?

- Time for a change.

- Stop this f***ing racket.

- This rubbish.

- This f***ing crap.

- Indeedy do.

- What shall it be? Budgie?

- Desmond Dekker, Dad.

- Kill? Miller?

- Alex Harvey.

Mott The Hoople.

- Mott the f***ing Hoople?

- You are joking?

Miller, you've let the side down.

Stand in the corner.

Go on, Miller, stand in the corner

for being a f***ing idiot

who likes f***ing idiot music by...

Big poncey bastards!

So.

Will you get in the corner?

F*** off, Frankie.

FRANKIE:
That's not nice.

You let the side down, Miller.

You asked for Mott the Hoople.

For that, face the wall.

- Desmond Dekker, then.

- Not until he...

Saved by the bell, hello.

- I'll take over, have your break.

- What about, erm...

Do you think I should stay?

No, it's fine. I'll see you later.

GANG LAUGHS:

You are a f***ing ride.

Your man was just about to play

Desmond Dekker.

Which we approve of.

- Oh, really?

- Yes.

How about you and me getting

out of this two-horse town, baby?

THEY MAKE ANIMAL NOISES

He said Desmond Dekker,

you f***ing cow.

Turn this sh*t off.

Do you hear me? Off.

- Don't talk to me like that.

- Or I'll call the police.

Or I'll play Mott the Hoople.

THEY LAUGH:

Come here. Come over here.

Christ. We came to listen to

music, do you get it?

Go on, out!

# VELVET UNDERGROUND: Pale Blue

Eyes

F***, this is sh*t!

Sorry.

For what?

- For being with them.

- You chose them.

Kind of.

Maybe see you around, then?

Can't wait.

# Thought of you as everything

# I've had but couldn't keep

# I've had but couldn't keep

# Linger on

# Your pale blue eyes

# Linger on

# Your pale blue eyes... #

DOOR BUZZER:

BUZZING CONTINUES

BUZZ:

Somebody out there

will always remember,

Revenge, it's a drug,

A brilliant motivator

for the hopeless,

- Where is he?

- He's coming, rat face.

- Listen to him, the big man.

- F*** you and f*** him.

I'm sick of being

treated like a moron.

Miller, you are a f***ing moron.

Next time

he fucks with me, that's it.

- What's what?

- He wants to say something. Right?

What? Alright.

We go in separately. Not together.

Keep clear of each other for a bit.

OK? Or they'll chuck us out.

And Miller!

Try and stay out of trouble for once.

''Try and stay out of trouble?''

Who the f*** does he think he is?

Prick. F***ing trouble.

I'll give him f***ing trouble.

Oh, shut up! OK, I'm next.

Come on, you nutball.

# CLAUDETTE & THE CORPORATION:

Skinhead A Bash Them

# Skinhead a bash them

# Skinhead a bash them... #

# ROXY MUSIC:
Love Is The Drug

# T'ain't no big thing

# To wait for the bell to ring

# T'ain't no big thing

# The toll of the bell

# Aggravated - spare for days... #

Got a problem?

Like what you see, f*ggot?

# Boy meets girl

Where the beat goes on

# Stitched up tight, can't shake free

# Love is the drug, got a hook on me

# Oh oh, catch that buzz

# Love is the drug I'm thinking of

# Oh oh, can't you see... #

MILLER:
Go on, suck it. Suck it.

Not so full of it now, eh,

you f***ing wimps? What are you?

Look at you. See what happens

when you f*** with me.

OK, up you get.

Nice and easy. You.

He won't do anything.

OK, Miller, you've made your point.

Let's get out of here

before we get thrown out.

You showed them, Miller.

They can't f*** with you. No way.

They know now.

C'mon, give me the knife

and let's go...

Well done, Miller.

You f***ing idiot.

He's with you, not me.

You get rid of him.

Where are you going? You can't

f***ing leave now, Frankie?

Alright?

You alone? Can I walk with you?

Yes?

No.

So?

I'm not easy to get rid of.

It would be easier to talk to me.

Just tell me to get lost.

Hey...

..thank you.

Inside all of us

is something beautiful,

Something that wants

to say hello to the world,

We only want the world

to smile back for a moment,,,

,,and then let it move

onto someone else,

Well,,,

Frankie!

Maybe stay a little longer,

- You're looking gorgeous.

- Look, he's got great big muscles!

Hey, Frankie. How about me and the

girls showing you the facts of life?

ALL:
Ooh!

Oh, yes, Louise, go for it!

MAN SINGS:

- Hello, boys.

- Dirty old bastard!

- Look at you.

- F***ing horrible.

- Dirty. Dirty.

- Horrible. Dirty.

Dirty old bastard!

Hey! Hey!

Thanks, son. A million thanks.

God bless you. You're a good man.

A million thanks.

Can you help us out, son?

A few bob for the bus up the road.

I understand. Sure enough.

Sure enough, son.

Sorry to trouble you.

Hey, mister.

Mister!

# THE BLUE NILE:
Family Life

# Starlight do you know me

# Please don't look at me now

# I'm falling apart

# Silver on the window

# Like the bike I once had... #

You don't wake up one day

a new person,

But you might wake up one day

and hear things in a different way,

See things in a different way,

Start to behave in a different way,

# Jesus love

# Let me down

# And I know where you are

# And it might lead

# Somewhere... #

HE COUGHS:

COUGHS LOUDER:

- Any chance of hearing this?

- It's not your kind of thing.

- My kind of thing?

- Retro.

Retro? What does that mean?

- From another...

- Era. I know.

What do you mean,

my kind of thing is retro?

Have you looked in the mirror lately?

- Can I hear it, please?

- Please?

- You said ''please.''

- I know.

SHOUTS:

No, it's really great. Thanks.
