Millions Page #6

Synopsis: The UK is about to switch its currency from Pounds to Euros, giving a gang a chance to rob the poorly-secured train loaded with money on its way to incineration. But, during the robbery, one of the big bags falls literally from the sky on Damian's playhouse, a 7-year old given to talking to saints. The boy then starts seeing what the world and the people around him are made of. Ethics, being human and the soul all come to the forefront in this film.

- What?

- I need a wee.

Tell her that.

Can I use your loo?

- Well I'm not sure...

- Well I'm not queuing up again,

the poor kid's been

in here half an hour.

You must have a loo?

What do you do

when you need to go?

Ok, just this once.

You'll have to go here.

I don't really need one.

You little belter.

I just can't see

why it's so difficult.

I need a wee.

It's the front half of a Ford Fiesta,

as far as I'm concerned, that's...

I need a wee. I need a wee.

Today's the day, that Britain enters

a new currency era.

You must spend or bank

any remaining old money today.

It's now or never.

Use it or lose it.

At midnight tonight,

it's euros only for British business.

Well if you say so for business...

business is... now what was your name.

- What?

- I've got an idea.

- What?

- Dollars.

Change it into dollars now

and change it into euros whenever.

Actually once

all the excitement's over

the euro will most

likely drop in value.

So we'll probably get

a better exchange rate this way too.

- What?

- Where did I get you?

They've got a bank in there.

It stays open late.

You know everything,

you do, don't you?

Yeah.

What's wrong?

How did you know about the bank?

Is this where your mum worked?

In here?

Well stay there then.

You'll be alright.

I'll come straight back for you.

I'll do this one. Ok?

Don't look.

This is where

your mum used to work.

Nice.

Best get a move on, huh?

Go on.

Damian? What you doing?

Hey, what's up?

Did you think I'd run off

and left you?

Did you?

Well I didn't, did I?

No, you didn't.

- The bank's upstairs.

- It's closed.

And I've had a much better idea.

Come on.

Let's go and stuff our faces.

Oh I could have had my eye out.

Where are the glasses?

Damian, wants to give

his to the poor.

Do you?

Of course they won't be poor anymore,

once you've given it to them.

What'll do you do then,

take it back?

Speaking of which...

Right mystery activity...

champagne.

...follow me.

A woman opens the door

in her nightie

and I thought funny place

to keep a door...

- This is your fault this.

- What is?

You don't even know, do you?

You brought her

and you don't even know.

What are you on about?

Can you hear them laughing?

Even he's laughing. Listen.

Very good.

Once she's got what she came for,

she'll piss off again.

Then he won't be

laughing will he?

It will all start again

like when mam died.

- He'll be angry...

- Maybe... she, you know,

she won't, she'll stay.

Oh great! Much better.

Is that what you want?

Her in there with him

instead of mam?

Why are you angry with me?

Because you did it.

You and your weird stuff.

Chucking money away.

Talking to yourself. Seeing things.

I don't.

I mean maybe I do, but...

And me! Sticking up for you.

For what?

The truth is, you're a loony!

Don't say that, Anthony.

Please don't say that!

You're just a f***ing loony

and you should be locked up.

Be at the front door

with the money in ten minutes.

Damian! We were...

I was just...

Dad, don't answer it.

- Dad don't.

- What is going on.

Please!

See this little girls.

My girls.

These girls Santa Claus forgot.

You're our last hope.

We haven't got a heater home.

Because no point going back

if you don't help

...took it out.

- Just...

- Who is it?

- Excuse me please.

Wheelchair like these

need your help.

Fifty percent of families

with a chronically ill child,

break up.

You're maybe asking yourself

why these Waterloo station

need friends.

Oh, Let me explain.

This is a mid of night.

This is a privat time.

Who are you?

Get out please. Get mind.

Just leaving.

Go on, you and your...

get out.

- Come on

- Two euro's a month...

- It's absolutely...

- Would you be prepared

to consider a direct debit.

Just shut up, will you?

Damian?

Damian?

This is that same donkey

as he looks after

just a few months

in our sanctuary.

- I think you'll agree...

- All right love. Put him down.

Shall we?

You'd better tell me

how this started?

I've no idea.

Some one must have said

something strange.

Digital?

Yeah that's right, yeah.

How do you find it?

I'm yet to be convinced.

Well you can come and have a look,

when you get rid of that lot.

Mmm. One step at a time, eh?

Any chance of a bit of toast?

You do that,

I'll have a look around.

Evening, lad.

You.

- Where is he?

- I don't know.

- Ha? Where is he?

- Upstairs.

Peaceful isn't it?

Who are you?

Who am I?

Who are you?

We're the police.

Oh.

I know you're only a dream.

But I don't care.

It's nice to see you.

Even if you're just a dream.

The money just makes

everything worse.

I've got something for you.

From Readers Digest. Here.

You may have already

won ten thousand pounds.

Please will you talk to me?

Five minutes. Ok?

Now, don't interrupt.

I'm dead.

I know what I'm talking about, ok?

You need to use conditioner

on your hair.

Your dad won't think of that,

but it makes all the difference.

Me?

You are not to worry about me.

You have been worrying about me,

haven't you?

I'm fine.

Anthony.

He seems to have taken

it better than you.

But he hasn't.

He's got a good heart,

he just...

he doesn't know where it is.

Damian?

He's going to need you.

Be good to him.

Dad doesn't believe.

Doesn't believe what?

Any of it. Anything.

He mustn't do or he wouldn't.

Couldn't you talk to him?

- He can't see me.

- Oh.

Is it because of the money?

In a way. The money makes

it harder to see what's what.

You know that already.

Never really win

with those things anyway.

You just end up

with books about

the building of

the American Railways.

It's her isn't it?

Your dad and her?

Damian.

You know how complicated

the money was?

Well... people are even more

complicated.

You need to remember

that there is nearly always enough

good around to be going on with.

You've just got to have a bit

of faith, you know.

And if you've got faith in people

that makes them stronger.

And you, you've got enough

to sort all three of you out.

Hey? That's why

I'm counting on you.

I haven't really

been worried about you.

I've just been missing you.

That's allowed.

Are you really a Saint?

Well, the criteria's very strict.

It's notjust a case

of doing good and all that.

You do have to do

an actual miracle.

So...

I'm in there. Course I am.

What was your miracle?

Don't you know?

It was you.

Hey?

Aren't you going to say goodbye?

Bye.

Did you see her?

What did she say?

She said to tell

you not to worry.

It's all going to be alright.

She's looking out for you

Come on!

Well it was fun

while it lasted, eh?

Look there's no easy way to say this,

but I put a bit to one side,

for me, to spend.

You can have it back.

Dorothy, six thousand,

three hundred and ten euros.

All for the best, eh?

Dollars.

It's just a few grand.

Dad?

Ten really.

Eleven thousand,

four hundred dollars.

I was going to tell you.

I sort of kept them by mistake.

Anthony.
