Four in the Morning Page #3
- Darling, be reasonable.
Joe and I have just come back
from a great party
just to see you.
- Well thank you very much,
you stink of scotch.
- Oh come on, darling, you'll have a drink
and then you can stink of scotch too.
Joe, come in.
- [Jude] No.
- Come in here, Joe.
- No, and get off my bed.
- The baby's awake now Joe, come in here.
- No Joe, get out.
- I'm not in.
- Why did you come back
from the bloody party
if you wanted to go on like this?
- Because I want to drink in my own house.
Is there anything so wrong about that?
There's my darling, darling face.
Come here, my love.
You don't think your daddy's
a monster, do you?
Well mummy's going to take you back
into your own room now.
Now where are you going?
- I'm just going.
- Don't be bloody ridiculous.
Just because I bring somebody home.
- And into my bedroom.
- We didn't know she was in here.
- Well you should have done.
Give me the baby.
- Oh come on, Jude, darling.
Hello, my love, hello.
- Ah, look, she's smiling.
Clever old daddy made you laugh.
- Yes, clever old daddy.
- You're not laughing at all, are you?
- And I don't want to.
- Have a drink, Jude, come on.
What's the matter then,
don't you love him anymore Jude?
Is it my fault bringing
him home late like this?
What'd I say now?
- What are you doing in here?
- I just want to be
in whatever room you're not.
- Right, I'll stay in here then.
- Very well, I'll go in there.
- Fine, why don't you stop
playing silly games?
- Why don't you try
being kept awake all night?
- I do my share.
- What the hell do you think I do?
I suppose you think I like sitting in there
waiting for you to phone me.
- I thought it was face
kept you awake not me.
- Don't call her that.
relieved to get rid of me
for one evening.
- Why didn't you phone me
if you were going to be late?
- Because you said you'd be asleep already.
- Where do you put the aspirin?
- The what?
- The aspirin.
- It's in the kitchen cabinet.
- I looked and it wasn't.
- All right, I'll go out
and get you some in the machine.
- Too late, I've already been.
Why didn't you tell me if you were going to
stay out all night?
- Because you told me
to go out and enjoy myself.
- I thought you'd be back
when the pubs closed.
- And you told me
that you'd be asleep anyway.
- Oh, Norman.
- Look, I met Joe, we went to a pub,
Bernie was there, we just
sort of drifted on, you know.
I'm sorry.
- I suppose you don't know she's teething.
- I know she's teething.
What is the point?
- There's no point.
Are you getting out of here or am I?
- When you're ready,
Joe and I will be in the next room.
- Okay and when she cries
you can look after her.
- All right.
- Oh get out of here.
- [Norman] I'm going.
- She was not pleased.
Look, if you're going you'd better go now
before there's a real blow up.
What am I going to do, Joe?
- There they were alone
in the desert island,
not a palm tree in sight,
the B-52's were coming in.
- Don't make fun of everything.
Why do you think I went out?
If I'd stayed in the row would
- You're as bad as she is.
Go make it up to her.
She wants you to.
- You think so?
You have a very rosy tinted
picture of that lady.
if I may say so.
- I haven't got a picture
of her at all, mate.
I'm talking about Jude in there.
- And?
Oh, put on a record, Joe.
- I haven't got one that fits me.
- Joe, you're a terrible person.
- And you're a dirty stop art.
It's the baby, innit?
- No, it's not just that.
It makes you wonder what it's all about.
- You talk like your grandfather, daddy.
- If you're not going home,
go and make some coffee.
Or maybe we should reconnoiter.
There might still be some life left among
the dregs of Bernie's.
- Norman.
- Send me up.
for bachelors only.
- Ah, sadistic bastard.
You know, I miss having another human being
around the house, somebody you can talk to
open up with without
feeling like you're going
to get a kick in the crotch every time.
- I'm tired.
- What a great help you are.
Well, why don't you go home, Joe?
I've got to work in the morning.
- And what do you think it is now?
I'll make some coffee.
(background chatter)
- [Girl] You hungry?
- I only had a carrot.
- What do you like?
- Grapefruit?
- Apples?
- No, no, we only sell
them by the box, madam.
- Only one to two.
- And what have you got there?
- Breakfast.
- And that?
- Mushrooms for omelettes.
Don't you like mushrooms?
- Here.
- Thank you.
- Come on, let's go home.
Hammersmith Broadway, here we come.
I hope you can cook.
- [Girl] I'm a bit out of practice.
- Well you can practice on me.
I hope you have enough eggs.
- About all I have got.
- I can just see you're
a poor little lost bird
in a poor little nest in
Hammersmith with nothing
but eggs and nescafe.
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish.
Are you happy?
- Hi Jude, do you want some coffee?
- No.
- She asleep?
Teething, eh?
Yeah, I know what that's like,
had it myself once.
I'll tell you what, you stay there.
Look, tell you what,
I'll bring you a cup of coffee
in here, eh?
- Hey Joe, do you want to keep paying for
what's left of the night.
- With all the shouting goes on round here
it's a wonder you got any neighbours left.
Shall I go home?
- No, get into bed, bunk up.
- No thanks, I prefer Norman.
- Well you're welcome to him.
- Do you know about me and him?
- Oh Joe, you're a fool.
- I see.
I was keeping the baby awake now.
- What do you find attractive about him?
- What, Norm?
- His small toe?
- Yeah, he's not pretty so much as ugly.
- [Jude] Perhaps if we sit here
quietly, he'll go away.
- Yeah, disappear.
- Pardon me for living.
I'll make the coffee.
- It worked, he's gone out.
- He can stay out for a while.
I'm sick and fed up of
- Me as well.
I do want to make some breakfast
in the morning, eh?
Open a tin of tomatoes.
Very good at opening tins of tomatoes.
You have brunch for any Saturday morning,
I'll be there having tinned it.
Are you sure you don't want any coffee?
- You two seem to be
getting on very well in there.
- Jealous?
- Come on.
(birds squawking)
- Do you think they know
we're only just going home?
They're all going to work.
I feel sorry for them.
- So do I, except they've
already had breakfast.
- Do you think his wife's fat too?
- [Boy] Probably.
- She probably got up
He had to get his own breakfast.
Bread and dripping in stewed tea.
- Oh no.
She got home in time to give him breakfast.
He looks like he'd belt her
around the room if she didn't.
(bell rings)
We're off.
- What did your father do?
- He was a carpenter and builder.
- Can you do carpentry?
- Oh, that's a catch question.
I think for the moment I'll just say no.
- If you're going to
have me cooking for you,
