Billy Liar Page #9

She'd look after you, son,

I'm telling you.

- 15 shillings gets you a nice night.

- You'll be all right.

- What time's your train?

- Six-ish.

Six-ish, is it? She'll see you right.

You'll be on the train in time.

Have a nice breakfast before you go.

We'll look after him, won't we?

You'll be all right, love.

- I've got to get to camp.

- She'll see you get back to camp.

Are you going to go with her, then?

You'll be all right.

Stop following me, will you?

Look at that young man.

He's blind drunk.

What a shame.

That poor girl.

Just look at him.

You're not like that, are you son?

You shouldn't drink.

Get that man in the guardhouse.

CO's parade tomorrow.

They fought for me in the last war.

Come on.

- Come on!

- Oh!

Oh, look what's crawled

out of the cheese!

Hello, Rita.

Borstal here we come.

Er, what happened

to Barbara, then?

I don't know and I don't care.

You think you're somebody,

don't you?

I'll tell you something.

You're not!

- You're nobody.

- I'm sorry.

- You can have the ring for all I care.

- That ring? I wouldn't touch it.

Go on, get away.

You're just muck.

Come on, you.

Come on!

Idle walking that, man.

Left, right, left, right.

Oh, belt up!

He's a sergeant, him.

Why doesn't he get back

in the effing army?

- Hello.

- I had to walk.

Oh, never mind.

Do you good.

Just missed the last bus.

I saw it going.

I turned the corner

and there it was moving on.

So I walked.

I went through the back streets.

I passed me old school.

Ta.

- Come on! We can't wait all night!

- All right, don't panic. We're here.

- Punch those, will you?

- Have you got the tickets?

Well, I seem to have

three face cloths and no toothbrush.

- Still, I can borrow yours, can't I?

- Yes.

- Have we got enough cigarettes?

- Yes, I've got some.

Do you want one?

- Er, no.

- Isn't it stuffy in here?

- Where are we going?

Is it worth the money?

I don't know.

- Who's got a kip for me?

- Oh, not again!

- I thought you'd got a flat!

- I had to leave.

Didn't pay the rent, did I?

Had too many parties an' all.

I hope you're not going

to talk all night like last time.

- We can't get anything to eat, can we?

- I've got some sandwiches with me.

- Would you like me to get you a drink?

- No, not really.

- Penzance.

- Penzance?

Yeah, and then back to Scotland.

Wait a minute.

There's a milk machine on the station.

- I can get you some.

- I don't really want any.

It'll only take a minute.

Save me place.

Well, hurry up, Billy!

That kind lady might let me

share her gaff.

She'll give you a punch

up the throat if you're not careful.

- Just going to get some milk.

- You haven't got long.
