My Summer of Love

Are you all right?

Did you crash or something?

No, I was just resting.

What's your name?

Mona.

You don't look like a "Mona."

It's not me real name.

It's because of me brother.

I were always complaining as a kid,

so he started calling me "the Mona."

'Cause me real name is Lisa.

Mona Lisa. Get it?

Yeah, I've studied the original.

I'm Tamsin.

I like your bike.

Yeah? It's a Honda.

I just got it off some

Gyppos up at the maggot farm.

It doesn't appear to have an engine.

It were only a tenner.

What's the point of a

bike without an engine?

I'm getting one next week. Okay.

This is where I live.

I've never seen you here before.

Yeah. That's because I'm

only here on school holidays.

Do you go to boarding school?

Yeah, but I've just been suspended.

Apparently, I'm a bad

influence on people.

Do you want to come in? No.

I've got to go. Okay.

Drop by if you're bored.

You're invited, and I'm

here all summer, you know.

What are you doing?

Have faith in me, yeah?

You are a bastard. It's all you are.

And I want this place back

the way it was. It can't be.

I looked at the pub and I thought...

"What have I been doing?"

Thank you, Lord. I now see

what I can do. That's right.

I won't run this as a pub.

I'll run this as a spiritual center

so that people can come here...

and learn about Jesus Christ.

Because we're going to

claim this valley back...

in the name of Lord Jesus Christ.

Because people need

spiritual fulfillment.

They need to know that

the Lord is there for them.

Yes, Lord. They need a makeover.

They need to know that

You are their Lord. Amen.

Will you help me do this? Yeah, we will.

How great is the Lord?

We're going to bring

love to this valley.

We're going to bring the

name of Jesus Christ...

to the lost people in this valley.

We're going to let them know

that He is there for them.

Yes, Lord. Thank you.

Thank you. God bless you for this.

In the precious name of Jesus, let us

bring this idea, this vision from You.

Father God, we lift this pub up to

you, Lord. We thank you, Father God...

that you have taken it from the enemy.

We just pray for this valley.

Pray for our brother here, now.

Let us anoint him, Lord.

In the precious name of Jesus....

Come forth now, Father. Confess Your

name to every living person, Father God.

Come to me, my darling.

Come to me right now.

Let Your fire come out.

Let the power just

come, Lord, let it come.

Bless us, Lord Jesus, You have....

Praise the Lord.

Pray to give me more

passion, Lord. More passion.

Yes. And just gain the strength.

Jesus. Thank you, Father God.

Let's go out somewhere now.

Somewhere nice like a club or summat.

Look, I've had enough of all this.

It's over between me and you now.

What? It were good fun. It's finished.

I've had enough. Get in

the car. I'll take you home.

You could've told me that before.

Yeah, like I'm gonna. Get in the car.

No, I f***ing will not. Suit yourself.

You are a pig!

Hello.

Is Tamsin in?

Yeah, she's in her room, as usual.

Have fun.

That was The Swan by St. Saens.

I live above The Swan.

The pub.

You live in a pub? Yeah.

But, it's not like a pub any

more. It's more like a temple.

It's me brother. He found God.

Or God found him. He's been born again.

And the pub, now, is more like not so

much a place to drink, as a place to pray.

Anyway, they're having

born-again bingo or something...

so I thought I'd bob off.

So, it's just you and

your brother in your pub?

Just me, me brother, and God.

Is he completely mad?

Yeah.

What happened to him?

He went inside and he came out funny.

He went to prison? Yeah.

What for?

Robbery, burglary...

fighting people.

What about your parents?

I don't know me dad.

And me mom's dead.

What did she die of?

Cancer.

My sister died of anorexia.

Oh, no.

That's her, there.

That's Sadie.

She's really beautiful.

Yeah, she was.

Do you think I look like her? Yeah.

Have you read Nietzsche?

Who? Nietzsche.

This great philosopher,

and he just believed that...

you know, there are some people

that are just put on this planet...

who are made to succeed, who

were just made to blossom.

And it doesn't matter how

many lesser mortals suffer...

get f***ed over, it doesn't

matter, as long as they succeed.

You know, like

Shakespeare and Wagner....

And your brother. All that crap. I

mean, Nietzsche would string him up.

All that stuff about God.

God's dead.

God's dead. This is

what's real. This, here.

Here and now. Yeah. You should read him.

I think you'd like him.

Or Freud, you know.

So, what are you gonna

do with your life?

I'm going to be a lawyer.

I'm gonna get a job in an abattoir.

Work really hard.

Get a boyfriend who's like, a bastard...

and churn out all these kids, right...

with mental problems.

And then, I'm going

to wait for menopause.

Or cancer.

Come and drink here, Father.

That they would know you, Father.

That they would honor you, Father.

That they would drink from You,

Father, from the Fountain of Life.

God is dead.

Night, brother.

Okay.

I'll just go.

What were all that about, Mona?

I don't know.

It's just you and your friends

down there. You crack me up.

Sorry. You just really make me laugh.

Especially with you

being the ringleader.

I mean, you....

You-- Why are you

always trying to hurt me?

Because I think you're a

f***ing fake, that's why.

What is wrong with you?

I just miss me brother.

I'm here.

That ain't you.

It ain't. Mona, this is me.

This is the real me.

I want the old Phil.

That old Phil, he didn't

make me very happy.

He made me happy.

I loved my brother.

He used to be real.

I haven't got any family.

Me home has changed.

No one fancies me.

Come here.

I'm here.

Lord Jesus, watch over

this child. Oh, no!

Watch over my

sister-- F*** off.

F*** off.

I'm looking for Mona, is she here?

Aye, she is. She's in there.

Thanks.

Can you just wait here?

On your left hand side.

What's he making? A cross.

He's putting it up at the top of the

hill, to cleanse the valley of evil.

Now these are nice.

Thanks.

They were me mom's, when

this used to be The Swan.

Are you done?

Yeah. I've got a cab waiting outside.

What for? Because we're going.

Where? You'll see.

Okay.

What do you think of

this place? It's funny.

It's like Lego. It's

all sort of pretense.

And that one there, especially.

You see that house there?

Yeah.

And the posh Jag parked outside?

It's my dad's car.

And he comes here

quite a lot, I think...

'cause this is where his

girlfriend lives and...

his secretary, nice.

And he's in there now, you know.

It must mean he's in there

now with his car there...

and he'll be f***ing her now.

He'll have her bent over the

cooker, f***ing her up her ass.

And Mona, you should see

her. She's just a dog.

She's a f***ing whore...

she's all sort of blond hair and

big tits and these high heels...

and she's got no f***ing

brains. She's got nothing.

This is Edith Piaf.
