His stubbornness and determination get him into trouble as he turns to more and more questionable measures, in his desperation to raise the needed money.

You can't just come

He borrowed a hundred and fifty

pounds. It's there in black and white.

Look, he's not in.

All right.

He borrowed a hundred

Look...

/Shut up!

The people he borrowed it

from...

maintained it was for a Communion

dress or something for a young girl.

Probably that little girl there,

was it?

Paid four weeks,

then pissed off.

Get out, will you!

Done the vanishing act.

He's not here!

But not from me,

he doesn't!

I bought the debt!

Look, he's not here,

so you...

And now he owes me!

And I get f***ing paid.

Don't come mithering me about it,

I don't know anything about it.

Altogether it's two hundred and

eighty-five pound.

Will you tell him to...

Two hundred and eighty five

pound, love, please.

Two hundred... I've not got two

hundred and eighty-five pound!

How much have

you got?

Nothing.

You must have something.

I've not got anything!

You must have something

in the house.

Oh, can you stop him!

You just stop it

in there!

Anything upstairs, Ted?

Look, he's gone and messed me

kitchen up.

Ted, anything upstairs!

No, f*** all!

Let's have a look

at your fingers.

No. You're not looking

at my fingers...

Let me have a look at

your fingers! /What for?

Hold your f***ing hands out! /No!

Hold your hands out!

Take the rings off.

/No!

Take the rings off.

This is me

wedding ring.

Pretty daughter,

isn't it, that?

You just leave her alone,

and just get out!

Do you want her

to stay pretty?

Just get out.

Do you want her to stay pretty? Take the

f***ing rings off! Put them on the table.

God... this isn't fair, this.

No.

Take them off!

If you don't,

he f***ing will!

Now take them off and

put them down there!

I don't believe this!

Where's your money?

We haven't got any money.

You must have some

f***ing money.

There's no money!

Hi, love.

Why didn't you tell me?

/Tell you what?

You borrowed that money,

You never come up on the horses.

You borrowed it!

Oh, I'm sorry,

love.

I'm sorry.

/Tell me what happened?

They said things! They were really

threatening. You should have seen them.

What did they say?

They said...

They said Coleen were...

...was pretty.

And did we want to keep

her like that?

I'm sorry, love.

Look, I'm sorry...

/It's all your fault!

And they said they'd come back and take

it out on my arse, that's what they said!

Look, I'm sorry,

love...

You've got no bleedin' right,

Bob! You really haven't.

Look Anne, I'm just ducking and weaving

just trying to keep my head above water...

...trying to get what I can.

I'm sorry.

You've got us all

in the sh*t now.

It's all down to me.

Oh God...

We'll have to go the police. We're

going to have to do something!

Oh, the police. They think we're

a load of tosspots to start with.

Oh sh*t! Don't go.

Don't get it. Bob...

Stay there.

Just stay there.

/Bob...

Mum...

It's Coleen, love.

/Mum!

Oh, Coleen...

What the bloody hell's

going on, lad?

Oh, Jesus! Look at the mess

in here.

What's happening?

They didn't hurt you,

did they love?

Them men didn't hurt you,

did they?

They took mummy's ring.

Didn't they, mum?

They got the ring.

Yeah...

Are you all right now?

What else did they do?

They push me over

there and...

...and they got mummy's family

allowance book.

Hey, Coleen... when we've cleaned your mum's

kitchen up, shall we make some more cakes...

...for your party?

Eh, shall we do that?

You sit there.

Where are you going now?

/I'm going out.

Oh, don't be a d*ckhead!

/Bob!
