Elsa doesn't understand that.
Good morning! -Hello, Mr
Halbert. -Can I come in?
I'd like to have a word
with your father, if I may.
Oh... well Charlie's not up yet.
Oh, I see, well...
Hello, Mr Halbert...
I'll get him.
Well, thank you.
Charlie...
Charlie... it's Mr Halbert...
Charlie!
Go away, Diana...
I love you.
Di!
What do YOU want?
I'm Halbert, from next door...
I'd like a word with you...
It's not a good moment
if you don't mind...
I've got a splitting headache, really.
That's not surprising after all the noise
you were making last night.
I didn't sleep a wink.
I didn't get much sleep myself,
if it comes to that.
You may be interested to know
that I had to take a sedative.
Interested?..
I'm bloody fascinated!
Yes, and this morning I found that my house
had been broken into...
All, I suppose, because of
your wretched party!
Well, why come to me?
Who do you think I am?.
Bloody Rin Tin Tin or something?
If you have no concern
for your neighbours...
...At least you might give a thought
for your wife and children.
You might give a thought...
mind your own bloody business!
Come on... out!
I give you fair warning, Hook...
I'm going to report this matter
to the authorities.
Off you go and have
a lovely old grumble.
But Di saw her!
Lying there with no clothes on!
And in Mother's bed!
Well, I suppose he thinks
it's HIS bed now.
He can let other people
Perhaps she missed her bus
and didn't have anywhere else to sleep.
It's a bad influence.
Elsa and the others
have all gone to school...
You're going to be late.
I'm sorry.
Really I am.
I wouldn't have let that happen...
Not for all the tea in China.
Don't cry love...
There's nothing to cry about!
It won't happen again, ever...
I promise you.
You do believe me don't you?
Di!
Come here...
Oh, Di...
Say you believe me.
Come on!
Let me hear you say it!
That's my girl!
There's my girl.
You like Charlie deep down,
don't you?
Then just you give me a kiss... eh?
Just to prove it... eh?
What's it got to do with YOU?!
Answer me that...
What's it got to do with YOU?!
It's not right...
Not with children in the house!
It was bad enough with their mother...
...but they were too young then.
This is different!
Time to have a look at the funnies...
And what about ME?
You? What about YOU?
I go in there...I find the whole place
reeking with some little tart's perfume.
It upset me, Charlie.
Well, you need someone
to settle you down!
You need to face a few facts!
It's no damn good, you playing around
My late husband
was just the same.
He got so wild, everybody
used to call him Tiger!
But when we got married,
he soon settled down.
He became as meek as a lamb.
What the hell do YOU want, then?
The car's got a flat tyre.
Pa knows very well
the car's got a flat tyre.
Now clear out and and mind you own
business. Don't come in here again.
Easy, Charlie... easy!
Budgie!..Budgie!
Elsa!..Diana!
Quick! Elsa...Dunstan... quick!
Look!
All mother's furniture!
Everything!
HE did it!
I don't understand!
Can't you see? He's
trying to destroy Mother.
He's always hated the tabernacle...
Always!
I'll bet you I'm right.
There, you see...
Here's Mother's chair.
He's a beast!
What's it matter anyway?.
We haven't had "Mother-Time" for ages.
She's blind!
Look... he hasn't even paid his bills!
Look... the savings book...
3 pounds, 6 and 3!
Look! That's all that's left!
But the 400!?
It's all gone! Mother's savings
"for a rainy day".
It's gone!
Here... get out!
Get out and stay out...
you friggin' little bastards!
Easy now Charlie... easy.
Now you know what he's really like.
House is a bloody menagerie!
Kids drive me up the friggin' wall.
I've had as much of you as I can take.
Come on, Meg.
All right!
You're bad luck to me...
the lot of ya...
They're all bad luck.
They always have been and
they always will be.
Come on!
We've got a job to do.
Stop pushing!
Stop it, Jimminy!
Now look what you've done!
You've nicked Jimminy.
I've not!
Quick!..It's Charlie!
One of the advantages
of the available accommodation...
...is that many of these old houses convert
quite nicely into self-contained flats.
Can bring in a tidy little income.
Hello.
Hello...
You're...
Is Mr Hook in?
Well, it doesn't matter.
I'm from the estate agent.
The name's Moley.
This lady and gentleman
have come to look at the house.
Shall we start upstairs?
Would YOU like to show us up?
Oh, yes.
Good solid houses at the right price...
Pricey...
on the lease...
I don't think you'll find him
too sticky on the price...
Wants to make a quick sale,
I gather.
He was very nice.
He said they were going
to help try and sell the house.
Sell the house!
Don't be silly, Gerty...
you've got it all mixed up!
I haven't...Mr Moley
gave me his card.
Look.
I told you Gerty... never to let
strangers into the house.
I didn't...Charlie gave them the key.
Estate agent!..
come on, get Diana.
He can't sell the house... it's ours.
Willy!
Why didn't you tell us before?
Because you wouldn't listen...
none of you would.
He bribed you all.
You're making it up!
Read it for yourself, then.
Yes... out loud!
To my husband, Charles Ronald Hook...
I leave only the love he never used
as a sword to twist under my heart.
Violet Edna Hook.
I don't understand!
Don't you? He broke Mother's heart
to pieces!
Then left her to die.
That's what he did...
Your Charlie!
I don't believe it.
I love Charlie.
Don't you listen to her, Willy...
He does love us...
I know he does!
You'll see!
Perhaps he won't come back.
We'll just wait and see.
What's all this about, then?
Some sort of reception committee
or something, is it?
Go and get me a drink, Jim.
We want to talk to you, Charlie.
Have to get it meself then...
don't I?
That's family life for you.
I'll get it.
We want to talk to you.
Talk away!
Tell me something
I don't know.
You destroyed the tabernacle.
Well? The old shed?
High time I should
be gettin' rid o' down there.
You knew that was Mother's house.
They're not your things out there...
They're Mother's!
Why are they good for you?
They're not good for you at all.
They're a bad influence.
You spent all our money!
I haven't spent all your money!
You have... it's all gone!
I haven't spent it!
I've used it to make more...
to make us all rich.
I've got a nose for business.
Then why are you selling the house?
Selling the house?
What you talking about?
Mr Moley came.
Who? Mr who...Mr Moley?
-The estate agent.
It isn't true, is it, Charlie?
No, of course it isn't true...
Mr Moley's a fool...
he's got it all mixed up...
to look at the house.
He said you wanted a quick sale.
And you gave him the key,
didn't you?
