We'll go to the dance.

- The Grafton's for bits of kids.

We're too old.

- You're as old as you feel.

Look, you may think you're Peter Pan,

but I'm not bleedin' Wendy.

We're not goin'.

- Yes, Edna. No, Edna.

Three bags full, Edna.

- [ Titch Chuckles ]

Hey.

Where's me jacket?

It's cold.

- What's happenin'?

- Get your arms in.

- Me tiny hand is frozen.

- If it was any bigger, it'd have frostbite.

- [ Titch Chuckling ]

- Oh, you beautiful doll

You great big beautiful doll

Whatever you do, Helen, don't get married.

You might end up with someone like this soft bastard.

- Let me put my arms

- Button it!

- Good night, you two.

Don't you stay up too late.

- I could never live without you

[ Wind Gusting ]

[ Mother ] Lock up, will you, Kev?

[ Kevin ] Okay, Mam.

[ Church Bells Ringing ]

[ Albie ]

That's Mr. Yates.

He's got cancer.

[ Mother ]

Come on, Bud. Time for mass.

Okay, Mam.

See you later, Albie.

Okay.

[ Man Speaking On Radio, Indistinct ]

Are you going to Cast Iron Shore, Kev?

No, Woolton Woods.

Can I go with you?

You haven't got a bike, Bud, lad.

Well, will you bring me some pears back, then?

- Yeah.

- [ Audience On Radio Laughing ]

- [ Man On Radio Shouting ]

- [ Radio Show Theme ]

Can I have a bit of your drink, Kev?

You won't like it.

[ Coughs ]

Aw, it's horrible!

Told you you wouldn't like it.

- [ Kevin ] Watch the car.

- [ Titch ] Look both ways, Jean.

Can't I come with you?

Oh, go on, let me.

Don't forget the pears.

[ Man On Radio ]

That was Ray's a Laugh, with Kitty Bluett...

[ "Tammy" ]

[ Debbie Reynolds ]

I hear the cottonwoods

Whisperin' above

"Tammy, Tammy

Tammy's in love"

The old hooty owl

Hooty-hoos to the dove

"Tammy, Tammy

Tammy's in love"

Does my lover feel what I feel

When he comes near

My heart beats so joyfully

You'd think that he could hear

Wish I knew if he knew

What I'm dreamin' of

Tammy

Tammy's in love

[ Orchestral Interlude ]

[ Bells Jangling ]

[ Congregation ]

Holy, holy, holy

Whipporwill, whipporwill

You and I know

Tammy, Tammy

- [ Man In Film ] And in pulpit,

talking interminable nonsense...

- Can't let him go

the Reverend Lord Henry D'Ascoyne.

- The breeze from the bayou

- The D'Ascoynes certainly appear...

- to have accorded with the tradition of the landed gentry...

- Keeps murmuring low

- and sent the fool of the family into the church.

- Tammy, Tammy

- Please stand.

- You love him so

- When the night is warm, soft and warm

- Get into line.

- I long for his charms

- Turn.

- I'd sing like a violin

- Good night, boys.

- [ In Unison ] Good night, sir.

- Off you go.

[ Man In Film ] You're a shower, an absolute shower.

There's no other word for it.

- And you, Windrush, you're an absolute rotter.

- Wish I knew if he knew

What I'm dreamin' of

Tammy

Tammy's in love

[ Ends ]

[ Boys Chuckling ]

[ Albie ]

Come on, let's go.

[ Mother Vocalizing ]

Aren't you goin' to the pictures?

I've got no one to go with.

What about Albie?

He's just gone past with John Hughes.

Can't you run after them and ask can you go with them?

[ Mother ] If I had my life

To live over

I would still do

The same things again

I would still love to roam

To that place I call home

Where happiness never

Would end

I'd meet you [ Echoing ]

When school days were over

And we'd walk down the lanes

We once knew

[ Crying ]

- If I had my life

- [ Lid Clangs Shut ]

To live over again

I would still

Fall in love

With you

[ Orson Welles ] And now it came at last:

George Amberson Minafer had got his comeuppance.

He got it three times filled...

and running over.

But those who had so longed for it

were not there to see it...

and they never knew it.

Those who were still living...

had forgotten all about it...

and all about him.

[ Mr. Nicholls ]

"Four

wind erosion.

The waters of the seas readily respond by movement...

to the brushing of the wind over the surface...

to the variations of temperature and salinity...

to the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun...

and to the Coriolis force.

A tides and currents."

[ Martita Hunt In Film ]

Do you know what that is?

There?

It's a great cake,

a bride-cake.

Mine!

On this day of the year, long before you were born...

this heap of decay was brought here.

It and I have worn away together.

Mice have gnawed at it...

and sharper teeth than teeth of mice...

have gnawed at me.

And I have a fancy I should like to see someone play.

Play.

[ Bud ]

What did you get for Christmas, Albie?

[ Albie ]

A cowboy outfit and a Bren gun.

[ Bud ]

Our Kevin bought me a watch.

[ Bud ]

Some of those stars are dead.

The light from them started out when Jesus was alive.

How do you know?

Our Titchie said.

[ Bell Tolling ]

[ Men's Chamber Chorus ]

No star is o'er the lake

Its pale watch keeping

The moon is half awake

Through gray mist creeping

The last red leaves fall

'Round the porch of roses

The clock has ceased to sound

The long day closes

Sit by the silent hearth

In calm endeavor

To count the sounds of mirth

Now dumb forever

Heed not how hope believes

And fate disposes

Shadow is 'round the eaves

The long day closes

The lighted windows

The lighted windows dim

Are fading slowly

The fire that was so trim

Now quivers lowly

Quivers lowly

Go to the dreamless bed

Where grief reposes

Thy book of toil is read

The long day closes

Go to the dreamless bed

Where grief reposes

Thy book of toil is read

Go to the dreamless bed

The dreamless bed

The long day

Closes
