Saturday Night and Sunday Morning Page #7

Synopsis: Arthur, one of Britain's angry young men of the 1960s, is a hardworking factory worker who slaves all week at his mindless job for his modest wages. Come Saturday night, he's off to the pub for a loud and rowdy beer session. With him is Brenda, his girlfriend of the moment. Married to a fellow worker, she is nonetheless captivated by his rugged good looks and his devil-may-care attitude. Soon a new love interest Doreen enters and a week later, Brenda announces she's pregnant. She tells Arthur she needs money for an abortion, and Arthur promises to pay for it. By this time, his relationship with Doreen has ripened and Brenda, hearing of it, confronts him. He denies everything, but it's obvious that their affair is all but over.

There's a lot more in life

than mum and dad have got.

I've got one!

It's good to be out.

It's nice out here.

Peaceful, for a change.

I asked mum if we could live at home.

She said it would be all right.

Until we get a new house.

I wouldn't mind living in an old one myself.

I would.

I want a new home

with a bathroom and everything.

Me and Bert used to roam all over

these hills when we were kids.

Blackberrying.

There won't be blackberries

or a blade of grass here much longer.

What did you do that for?

I don't know, just felt like it, I suppose.

Maybe one of those houses will be for us.

I know.

You shouldn't throw things like that.

It won't be the last one I'll throw.

Come on duck, let's go down.
