A Taste of Honey Page #7

- She didn't want to go away.

She can't have a baby in a dump like this.

- The first one can be a bit tricky.

- She's been having regular checkups.

Don't start frightening her.

And what do you know about it?

We're not playing at doctors now, you know.

I forgot to pay the taxi. Where's me bags?

I won't be a minute.

Well, she's back, Jo.

'Ey, would you like a bit of cake?

No, thanks.

You're glad she's back really.

No, lm not.

You needn't be afraid

of hurting me feelings.

God, what am I supposed to say,

Geoffrey?

Its you I need, not her.

Its only a choice

between two old women.

Oh, thanks

And of the two ld rather have you.

Well, you'll need a woman with you too.

- Someone who's been through it all before.

- Oh, stop romancing!

I asked you to stay here.

Why can't you leave me alone?

Now, don't you start upsetting her!

I haven't! Its you, charging in here,

trampling on everyone's feelings!

Ld have a hard job

to trample on yours, son!

Don't you "son" me!

My God, what a travesty of a mother

you've turned out to be!

Come here to help her, have you?

- All you do is put the fear of death in her!

- Have you gone mad?

Oh, leave me alone, both of you!

I can't stand it any more!

I just can't stand it!

Excuse me.

I want a word with my daughter.

What's the matter, Jo?

Geoffrey's right about you.

I wanted you to come back.

But when you did

it all went wrong again.

Why did you want me

to come back, love?

- I wanted to know what it's like.

- What?

Is there much pain?

Its not so much pain as hard work.

But don't worry, love.

You've got me now.

I can do without you. I can manage.

Well, you're very clever, aren't you

There's no need for you to be so superior.

He's thrown you out, hasn't he?

And you had to come

crawling back here.

Well, it was good while it lasted.

- D'you know what I think?

- What?

I think you're still in love with him.

Me, in love? Don't be so daft.

What happened?

He's just gone off

with his bit of crumpet.

So we're back where we started.

Jo, I forgot to tell you.

Lve ordered a beautiful cot.

Its got lambs and poodles all over it.

We've got one.

Geoff got it.

Bit old-fashioned, in't it?

We like it.

Now, come on,

lie back, love, come on.

- You'll be giving yourself a headache.

- Do you wonder?

Now, come on, have a bit of a rest

and lll just go and tidy up.

- Helen?

- What?

I want Geoffrey to stay.

Understand?

Mm.

Lm writing her a note.

While you're at it,

take this thing with you.

What's the matter, Jo?

I must have been dreaming.

Don't worry, love.

Where's Geoff?

Lm just going to make you

a nice fresh cup of tea, dear.

Where's Geoffrey?

He's just gone out, love.

- Helen?

- Yes, love?

My baby may be black.

You what, love?

My baby may be black.

Oh, shut up!

You'll be giving yourself nightmares.

Its true.

You don't mean that sailor

was a black man?

Yeah.

Oh, my God, I need a drink!

Well, what you gonna do about it?

Guy, guy, guy!

Prick him in the eye!

Tie him to the lamppost

and leave him there to die!

'Ey, in't it marvellous?

Tie him to the lamppost

and leave him there to die!

Guy, guy, guy!

Prick him in the eye!

Tie him to the lamppost

and leave him there to die!

Guy, guy, guy!

Prick him in the eye!

Tie him to the lamppost

and leave him there to die!

Geoffrey!

You clown, Geoff!

You clown!

Lll make you a cup of tea, love.
