My Name Is Lenny Page #6

---

the rematch you've all been waiting for.

The unlicensed boxing heavyweight

championship of the world.

Thanks, pet.

Come on, Len.

Alright?

Where are those weapons, boy?

Here, these gloves are the business,

much better, much better.

You remember what we trained?

Right.

You show him the left,

you don't throw him the left.

You move but you don't lead.

You throw the right,

you don't throw yourself in with it.

When he comes in close,

you squeeze the air out of him.

You push him into the ground,

you soak a few up in the stomach.

You're good down there,

and you put him on the ground.

And this time, you make sure

he doesn't get up.

Good boy, son.

Hello, boy.

All grown up and doing a turn, hey?

Famous now, I bet you're

a bit flush, ain't ya, hey?

Looking after the family?

What?

I should have slung him out the window

when I had a fair chance.

You'll lose tonight.

What are you going to do, Lenny, hey?

Bite my throat out like you did

to your cousin, Carrots?

You're a gutless coward.

I know what you did.

I know what you did to the family.

It was me.

Me, who made Lenny who he is, Val,

and you'll thank me if he wins tonight.

My Lenny don't drink no more.

But the day that you f***ing die,

I am going to go and buy him a shandy.

Couldn't do much for his brother,

though, could he, eh?

You're nothing to me, Jim.

You hear me?

You are nothing to me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Now, you get out of this room before you

make me break my promise to my mum.

You alright, Len?

Yeah.

Of course, I'm alright.

I'm Daddy Cool.

Good boy, son.

- Let's put on a show, hey?

- Yeah.

Oh.

Come on, boy, we don't want

to keep Shawy waiting.

No, no, no, let's give him a minute.

Let him think I've bottled out.

Yeah.

If that leg flares up,

I'm throwin' the towel in, right?

Let's give Shawy his Gary Glitter moment.

Ladies and gentlemen.

And in the blue corner

still the Guv'nor,

Roy "Pretty Boy" Shaw.

Come on, Lenny. You're on.

Open the f***ing door for me.

Come on.

Come on, Len, ready? Come on, boy.

Right and shut him up once and for all.

Out of Hoxton,

Lenny "The Boy" McLean.

Come on, Lenny.

Come on, Len.

Come on, Len.

Come on, Len.

I've made him into a man.

I'm doing it for his own benefit.

Lenny, Lenny!

Who's the Guv'nor?

Who's the Guv'nor?

I'm the Guv'nor.

I'm the Guv'nor.

Who's the Guv'nor?

I'm the Guv'nor, I'm the Guv'nor.

I'm the Guv'nor.

I'm the Guv'nor.

You've got to fight to get anywhere,

you know, if you don't fight you're just

one of the crowd, and one of the crowd

don't get nothing.

So I started off as a kid, fighting.

And I was the best when I was a kid.

And I wanna be the best, now.

You know, you've got

to survive in the East End.

And, er...

So how did you

manage to survive?

Be the best fighter, be the Guv'nor.
