I know you retire,

but maybe you want me one favor?

What then?

Look at my accounting.

Skattefar killing me.

Life was no longer

about survival.

Then I was hit by a new sense

that gnawed at my bones ...

probably most dangerous of all:

boredom.

But that was about

This year you have the O-levels

Yes, you're right.

Margaret is right.

I would really like to do.

Kevin, am thinking it through

about it.

If you go off of school, you

as an adult.

You will take care of yourself.

We can no longer take care of you.

Yes sorry

but this is really what I want to do.

I was like you when I was young.

I thought I could control the world.

You've made it myself.

- Yes, but it was not easy.

I know that look in your eyes.

You will not change his mind.

Well ...

come back and visit us, boy.

And remember that I always

for you are, if you need me.

This is the BBC news of one hour.

The familiar face

the stock exchange in London.

You do not have the experience.

You do not have diplomas.

Well, then you have no chance.

No references.

No background.

No connections to the school of yesteryear.

No uncle who sits in those cases.

But I will show them.

I can wait.

I can handle this.

I will be part of it.

I will succeed.

I will show them a winner.

Idiots.

If you can get no job,

come to me. I will help you to work.

but I want to do it through official channels.

I respect that.

But keep it in mind.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

Well done son.

The equity market

London will not take ...

recover than after a

change in New York.

Investors need

strong nerves.

The Dow Jones index

the price shows ...

of the 30 major stock ...

The city has little London

to look forward to ...

then mass redundancies in

The entire financial sector.

What you gonna do?

I start my own business.

I want my own boss.

In what?

I do not know yet.

But we'll think of something.

- Good.

How do you do with the money?

This is the landlord, open the door.

Open the door, you have to pay the rent.

Open the door for me.

When the door is not opening it

I call it a man who ...

Not so good.

I know.

The landlord called.

Fascinating.

Here, take this.

Since you're gone astray here

Margaret and I often this house ...

we considered it to

sell for something smaller.

If we do,

I have some extra money.

I would be some

invest in your company.

Seriously?

You do not need to.

But God come with a good idea

and a solid business plan.

I might be old

but I'm not stupid.

Be careful, son.

Onwijs thanks.

Is it well with you, boy?

Yes.

Alan, was a good man.

You must know that he really

proud of you. Do you?

Here, throw that back it.

Okay?

Kevin, it's not easy

To tell ...

but once I left home with the whole

contents have sold ...

I decided to Euan and his family

in Australia to live.

I must proceed to the next

part of my life ...

to stop a mother,

and enjoy that I am Grandma.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I know Alan wants me to rule

that care would be for you.

And if I buy the house?

How do you do that?

If I take a mortgage on the house,

I can use the money from Alan ...

for one company to develop and

to pay off the mortgage.

I make you proud.

Self-Employed Mortgage?

Everyone does it ...

She has boosted the price for a

deposit to do.

If I were you I would draw

and make sure he continues to pay.

Goodbye, Kevin, and good luck.

Indicating that damn thing.

Hey, Kev. That was long ago.

- Hi Paul, so for a long time.

I heard about Alan. Mind you it

After losing, he was a top guy.

I go out at the end of the week,

sense to go? Of course you sense.

Here he lives

- Very sexy.

Sure.

- Hi, Kev.

Hi, man. You have made it say,

How can you afford this?

The rental company is so stupid.

They think that it is in repair.

Kev, this is Mandy.

And this is ...

Kev, me and Mandy to anything

old friends to say hello.

Okay.

What do you want?

Like a Blue Lagoon ...

Give me the blame.

Kev.

Where is he going?

It does not clean itself, either?
