NICKY COUGHS:

Listen to her, just listen to her!

You are not in England now.

You must wait your turn!

Buster! For God's sake!

Give me Nicky and get out of here!

Don't be stupid, June.

It's bad enough being ill

in this hole without you

upsetting the doctor as well!

I might have known

it was my bleeding fault!

You were the one that was always

on about having a house.

Not here, Buster.

Can't you see?

It ain't worth a tin of beans here.

What the hell

am I supposed to do about it?

Go back to the villa, Buster.

There ain't nothing you can do here.

She's my daughter, ain't she?

Well, I ain't leaving.

I done it all for you,

you ungrateful cow!

Oi! Come here! Come here!

Have you seen my daughter?

SHE SPEAKS SPANISH

A little girl.

We came in last night.

SHE SPEAKS SPANISH

Have you seen June? My wife.

SHE SPEAKS SPANISH

I don't speak bloody Spanish!

SHE SPEAKS SPANISH

Buenos dias, Senor.

Your little Nicky,

she plays a very good game.

Tic tac toe they call it, no?

No. Noughts and crosses we call it.

Where did you take her to?

Why didn't you wake me?

She say mamma always do it.

Do what?

In the Christmas cake.

They don't taste so good.

She have food poisoning.

We pump her stomach.

We get rich. Thirty pesos!

No! Go away!

I bet they got some smashing

gear up there, girl.

Oh yeah.

Buy you something, eh?

I don't want anything, Buster.

Nicky! Come back here!

How many times have I told you

about running off?

You can get lost so easy.

Do you want to try this on?

Buster, I don't want it!

I didn't even want to come here!

I'll buy it anyway. You can take

it back if you don't like it.

Oh yeah, Like Marks and Sparks(!)

Nicky! Come back here!

Don't be such a misery guts, June.

I'm sorry about what I said

at the hospital.

Let's forget it. It's over.

It ain't over, Buster.

We don't belong here.

This ain't home.

It never can be. I gotta go back.

I want Mum and I want London,

and I want the rain!

And I want Nicky to start talking

bleeding English again!

But this is our dream!

No, Buster. It ain't our dream.

It's yours.

You never asked me.

All I ever wanted was us. Together.

Like when we was in hiding.

But what about the house,

and the money...?

Forget the money!

Can't you see it's torn us apart?

June, please!

Get off! Look, I hate Mexico!

And I hate you!

Senor, I give you good price...!

Piss off!

We'll miss the plane. Come on.

I don't want to!

Maria!

I want to stay in Mexico!

I don't want to go to London!

Maria! I want Daddy!

Mum, don't say anything, please!

TV SPORTS COMMENTARY

Come on, England, come on!

How much more to go, Bruce?

I haven't got the time. Come on,

you Kraut ref! Blow, you bastard!

Come on, England, come on!

Go on, use it! Use it!

Still two each?

No. It's 3-2, you silly sod!

Sssh!

COMMENTARY IN SPANISH

That's a good ball, good ball!

Come on, Geoffrey. Hit it!

CHANTING:
We are the champions!

Hey! We've just won

the bloody World Championship!

# We are the champions!

# God save our Queen

# Send her victorious

# Happy and glorious

# Long to reign over us... #

You're a fool.

I'm a fool for not listening before.

If you get nicked you're going down

for 30 just like the rest.

Nah. Them 30-year stretches

is all over with, Bruce.

Maybe Jack Mitchell will do a deal.

There never were going

to be any deals on this one, Buster.

And if you think you're going

to get away with five or six years

you're kidding yourself.

Look what you'll be missing.

I mean, if it's the money...

It ain't the money, Bruce.

All this don't mean nothing no more.

Not without her.

You're hopeless, aren't you?

Wouldn't you do the same thing

for Franny?

I ain't going back to do no deals.

I'm going back for June.

For God's sake why, Buster?

Cos she's my wife.

And I love her.

Don't forget about New Zealand,

will you?

No, I'll mention it.

The climate's the same as England.

And the food.

And June could bring her mum.

It's a great idea, Bruce.

Bye, Buster.

Give my love to June.

Yeah, I will.

I'll wait in the car.

I got nearly 400 left. Not bad

change from 150,000, is it?

Buster, if it's cash you need...

It ain't the money, Bruce.

I just want to go home.

Hey, make sure you don't get

caught, all right?

Come on.

Get up, sunshine. We're home.

How about a small tip?

Piss off.

Say...five hundred quid?

Get stuffed. I'm skint, mate.

Ain't nothing left.

I know you. You're Buster Edwards.

You got bleeding millions!

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot.

Hang on. I'll have a look.

Well done, Mandy. That's very good.

Oh, darlin',

you've got a bit on the table.

Now beat it in hard.

Well done, Nicky.

Do you want a little taste?

KNOCK ON DOOR:

Shan't be a minute.

Hello, Mum. Just popped round

for a cup of tea.

Where are they?

June's making the bed

and Nicky's in the kitchen.

Daddy! Daddy!

Hello, Nicky. I've missed you!

Are you staying home now, Daddy?

Yes, poppet. Always.

See, Mandy,

I told you I'd got a dad.

Nicky, why don't we get dressed

and go down the shops?

Cos we're going to need

some more icing sugar for that cake.

You coming too, Mandy?

Come on, let's get cleaned up.

Let's go in the bathroom.

KNOCK ON DOOR:

MIMICS MUM:
June! I brought

You a nice cup of tea, darlin'.

I've just made the bed.

You say the daftest things!

Hello.

'Scotland Yard.'

Is there still a reward out

for Buster Edwards?

Nothing mattered no more. Not

Mexico, not Bruce, not the money.

What about that dream?

You're my dream, you little sexpot.

Ain't never gonna be no-one else.

It's all right.

Me and Jack Mitchell, we go back.

I'll do a deal.

In fact, I got word he's interested.

What do you think you'll get?

Five years maximum.

I'll be out on parole in about

three. Them thirty-year stretches

are finished with now.

Will you still be waiting?

Of course I will.

Then it don't matter, do it?

DOG BARKS:

Shall I make a run for it?

Give yourself up, Buster.

Don't matter no more.

Right. Well, I'll be off then.

Ain't you gonna put

your trousers on?

I thought they might not

recognise me like this.

Now remember that whatever

happens, I love you.

And that's the only thing

that matters.

DOGS BARK:

# When I'm feeling blue

# All I have to do

# Is take a look at you

# Then I'm not so blue

# When you're close to me

# I can feel your heart beat

# I can feel your breathing

in my ear

# Wouldn't you agree

# Baby, you and me

# Got a groovy kind of love?

# Any time you want to

# You can turn me on to

# Anything you want

# Any time at all

# When I kiss your lips

# Boy, I start to shiver

# Can't control the quivering inside

# Wouldn't you agree

# Baby, you and me

# Got a groovy kind of love?

# We got a groovy kind of love. #

Oi! Here I am, down here,

down here!

Things were different

when I came out.

No, this is just temporary.

Has been for the last 12 years.

Anyway, I've still got this dream.

Buster!

Don't start all that again.
