one person now, then only occasionally.

Working outside that arrangement

would be too dangerous.

And, you see, I--

I simply cannot

go to prison again... ever.

Well, you think

about it, John.

See if you can't

get your head around it.

See, the way I see it,

people with special

relationships, like us;

people who've got secrets,

like us--

Yeah ? Well,

we should stick together.

Oh, yes, yes,

I agree with you, Jason.

That's why I-I'd be, uh, I'd be happy

to help you out fi nancially,

- until you get on your feet.

- Mm. No, no.

I don't want your money.

I'm looking to the future

now, John.

I wanna go into

business with you.

[ Fireworks Whistling ]

[Billy Narrating]

Welcome home, Jason.

Thanks for keeping

your mouth shut.

One or two of the boys have overdone

the sunbed tonight, but we're all here.

And we're wondering

what's next.

-[Man] Come on.

- [ Chattering ]

[ All Saying Hello ]

[Fireworks Continue

Whistling, Exploding]

Look at this !

Look, look at this !

Hello, leader.

How are you doing ?

Oi ! Billy Whizz, drinks.

Tell Tommy to get the scotch.

The good stuff,

the malt, all right ?

Oi, you little sods. Hey, come on,

this is not a toy. Off you get !

Hey, Beverley. Beverley, would you

come and look after these sods ?

Jason Locke !

Out from under lock and key at last.

Here he is ! Yea !

[Woman]

That's the color of the moon

Secretin the rainbow

[Billy Narrating]

Him, with Jason--

that's his old mate,

Kiri Christos, the banker.

Well, geezers couldn't very well

go to the NatWest, could they ?

So, they went to him.

[Continues, Indistinct]

[ Chattering ]

You are looking

just as beautiful as ever.

- Oh !

- Beautiful !

Oh, and fiery !

Oh, yes, it's that

Peter Chase spouting off.

Oh, my God, Kiri !

Can you believe it ? We're in

our thirties. I feel so ancient.

If I looked as good as you,

it wouldn't bother me much.

o you know how upsetting it is to have

hair coming out your nose and ears ?

That's what they should have told us

in biology, not how to cut up--

What were they, locusts ?

[ Laughs ]

You always did make me laugh.

[Continues, Indistinct]

Jason says he wants to

go into business.

Yeah, well,

isn't it about time he did ?

- Haven't they made enough money

off his back ?

- So, he needs a banker.

- But he's got a problem.

- What's that ?

- He's got no security.

- Okay. How's he get that ?

Well, he needs to put up

something against the loan.

Something valuable.

Something I want.

I didn't know Jason had

anything you wanted.

Well, you haven't been paying much

attention all these years, have you ?

Kiri, um,

would you just excuse me

a minute ?

It was just getting interesting.

[Continues, Indistinct]

- All right ?

- Who's that ?

don't know. I just said

hello to her tonight.

- Are you enjoying yourself?

- I said, "Who is she ?"

don't know.Just some little bird

Billy's knocking off.

Anyway, it went well

with Kiri.

don't shame me, Jason.

- Beverley, all right ?

- Mm.

- So, what you been up to then, Lisa ?

- Oh, you know,

getting beasted by Jason.

When they've been inside for so long,

they want to do it up the arse.

If that's what your mate's been

doing to you for five years,

it's bound to have an efect.

- Anyway, what about you girls ?

- Oh, yeah.

I didn't tell you what Pete bought me

for Christmas, did I ?

A horse.

I've called him Toby.

- Oh, he's mad, isn't he ?

- Put him down then.

And the horse.

I'm trying to be nice to you, Lisa.

Oh, you've got a short memory, babe.

Bit too quick to forget who's been

helping you while Jason's been inside ?

Two hundred and fifty quid a week ?

Helping us out ? do me a favor.

Well, I didn't expect for one minute

that you'd be grateful.

Okay, Beverley. I'm so f***ing grateful.

Will that do ?

Oo-er. You just make sure you enjoy

this party tonight, darling,

'cause it's the last thing

you're gonna get from us.

Make sure you keep your legs

pressed tight together when you

ride Toby, make you all tingly.

You do remember that feeling,

don't you ?

- Who's a naughty boy then ?

- What ?

That little blond bit. That's why

you didn't bring your girlfriend.

Who, her ? No, she's not

with me. She's just--

Well, she's with anyone,

if you know what I mean.

Where is she ?

[Heavy Breathing,

Groaning]

[Heavy Breathing,

Groaning Continues]

Oh, sh*t.

You bastard.

You do this here

in front of everyone.

You bastard ! Bastard !

- F***ing bastard !

- Shut up !

- You bastard ! Get off me !

- Shut your f***ing mouth !

- [ Screams ]

-Just f***ing cool off !

Go on, f***ing cool off !

You think you own me ?

" do this, Jason. do that, Jason.''

Well, f*** you !

[Sobbing]

I waited for you for five years !

Yeah, you waited for me, did you ?

You think I'm f***ing stupid ?

- I didn't do anything !

- I don't believe you.

[ Screams ]

I didn't do anything !

F*** off ! You're like

a f***ing leech !

[ Sobbing ]

What the f***

do I need you for, eh ?

I mean, why do you think

I go with other women, eh ?

Because you're

a f***ing nuisance !

- [ Screams ]

- You're not even a good f*** !

I don't even fancy you anymore.

That's a lie !

That's a lie !

Get her out of here.

[Lisa Sobbing]

[Lisa Sobbing]

You all right ?

That bastard's done this

to me before.

He got the last one pregnant.

Another little blond bit.

He had a little boy with her.

You see...

I can't have kids, Billy.

[ Sniffles ]

That was a f***ing laugh,

weren't it, for everyone else ?

Everyone looking at me, knowing.

The joke is--

I actually waited for him.

[ Sighs ]

I used to sit

behind him in class.

did you know that ?

I thought he was God's gift.

All the girls fancied him.

But I got him.

I thought I was

such a lucky girl.

Mm.

Lisa. Lisa !

Wait, hold on. I don't think

we should, all right.

It's not that

I don't want to.

Thanks, Billy.

Thanks for not taking advantage of me

when I'm like this.

Most of the other guys

would have jumped on me.

You're different.

Thanks.

[ Softly]

Um, it's just, um, you know--

Billy. Billy, I'm taking

the piss out of you.

Look at you.

You're no good to me.

You're just a f***ing p*ssy

like all the rest of them.

Bring my bag.

Tell Billy the groceries

are ready.

I want this over

as quickly as possible.

- All right ? It's all in there.

- Yeah.

[ Laughs ]

You f***ing beauty.

There you go.

Thanks.

See you later.

Have fun.

Spotty dogs.

Seen them, Billy ?

No.

Here you are.

Try one.

Cheers, Wayne.

[Billy Narrating]

Now, Jason is very anti-drugs.

Thatis anti anyone else's drugs.

It's an odanda wink and in goes

his man with a bag of Spotty Dogs.

Thank you very much.

See you later.

- Oi !

- All right ?

- How's it going ?

- Sweet.

This is a piece of piss.

What are we looking at

when we knock this lot out ?

I don't know,

Quarter of a million ?

F***in' hell !

You've done well, Jase. You've come

through for us, Just when we needed it.
