The Servant Page #5

Must be quite nice out.

Watch it!

No, out of play,

out of play, out of play.

Right, got you.

Bit wild.

Nearly got you then, though.

13-10. Count it as that.

Well, I can't do it any more.

I have to bend all the time.

What about me? I'm in the inferior

position of playing uphill.

I need a drink.

That's half the point of the game,

the bending.

You're getting as fat as a pig.

You need the exercise.

Right, service. 14-12.

- That wasn't fair. I wasn't ready.

- I said "service", didn't I?

I'm not having that point counted.

That was a perfectly fair point.

What about the other night?

You did about six like that.

Don't take advantage.

You're sitting in the best position.

You ought to play

according to the rules.

You're just a little upset

because you're losing the game.

Take your ball.

- Take it yourself.

- Ow!

- Well, what's the matter?

- I... I'm going.

- It couldn't have hurt.

- Get out the way.

I'm not staying here in a place

where they chuck balls in your face.

Don't be a fool.

Come on, let's have a drop of brandy.

Tell you what,

we'll call that game a draw.

- Isn't that fair?

- Push your brandy!

- Don't talk to me like that.

- Push you!

Get back to your coal heap.

Look, Barrett,

don't you forget your place.

You're nothing but a servant

in this house.

A servant?

I'm nobody's servant.

Who finished the whole place for you?

Who painted it for you?

Who does the cooking?

Who washes your pants?

Who cleans the bath out? I do.

I run the place and

what do I get out of it? Nothing.

- Now, listen, Barrett...

- I know all about you, sonny.

I am grateful, honestly.

Don't be daft. You know I am.

Yeah, I believe you.

You know, I...

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Well, then, go and pour me

a glass of brandy.

- Well, that's what I suggested.

- Don't just stand there. Go and do it.

Fabulous.

Yes.

- It's not bad.

- It's fabulous.

It's a bit salty.

No, no, it's marvellous.

I don't know how you do it.

Oh.

It's nice to know it's appreciated.

It makes all the difference.

Oh, I do appreciate it.

You know, sometimes I get the feeling

that we're two old pals.

- That's funny.

- Why?

I got the same feeling myself.

I've only had that same feeling

once before.

Did you? When was that?

Once in the army.

Well, that's funny.

I had the same feeling myself

there too.

Once.

47, 48, 49 and 50.

I've got a tiny feeling

that you're not downstairs at all.

You're not downstairs at all.

I think you're up there.

Aren't you?

And now I'm on my way to get you.

Where's your little lair this time?

Puss, puss.

P*ssy, puss, puss.

Puss, puss, puss, puss.

I'm getting warm.

You're hiding.

You'll be caught.

I'm getting warmer.

You've got a guilty secret.

But you'll be caught.

I'm coming to get you.

I'm creeping up on you.

I can smell a rat.

I...

can...

smell...

a...

rat!

- What do you want?

- To speak to him.

- clear off out of it.

- I want to speak to him.

Come here. Quick.

clear off!

Come on, out.

- Come on.

- Look... I want... please.

I'll speak to her. Leave her.

Listen...

I... I got to go to hospital.

They're taking me in, you see.

Give us some money.

please, lend me a few quid.

Oh, go on. Well...

Just only a few.

What about what you did to me?

It was him.

He made me.

I loved you, though.

I... I still love you.

playing games

with little sis again, are we?

That won't get you anywhere, Tone.

Come on, little sister, out.

- Come on.

- It was him.

- Him. He done it. He did.

- Stinking out the place! Come on!

I love you.

- I...

- Come on!

Get back to your ponce.

Come on.

Soaking wet.

Slut.

I've got something for you

from a little man in Jermyn Street.

Not for me.

Oh, come on.

Have a sip, see what it tastes like.

I told you, I'm not drinking.

Oh, now, look.

Just have a little sip, that's all.

Just a sip. There you are.

You see?

I can still think of things

that will please you, can't I?

You won't get many

better than me, you know.

What do you want?

An old hag running round the house,

getting you up in the morning

at the crack of dawn,

telling you what to do?

My only ambition is to...

serve you.

You know that, don't you?

I'm sorry, I...

I've been a bit edgy lately.

Oh, well, I mean...

I mean, I...

I admit, I...

I make mistakes, but...

Well, after all,

I'm only human, aren't I?

You wouldn't like me

if I wasn't human, would you?

- The place could be cleaner.

- Oh, I know.

I know it could be a bit cleaner.

That's what

I've been going on about for days.

Listen.

Perhaps...

we...

cou... could both...

make...

an extra effort.

You're dead right there, Tony.

That's what we ought to do.

~ Can't love without you

~ Must love without you

~ Now while I love you alone

~ Now while I love you... ~

Hey!

Your other one's here.

What?

Your old flame.

One yesterday.

One tonight.

You are popular, aren't you?

She's waiting.

Did you tell her

we're expecting visitors?

Oh, yes. Yes, I did.

But I also took the liberty

of showing her into the drawing room.

After all, she's a lady, isn't she?

~ Leave it alone, it's all gone... ~

Hello.

Vera's been to see me.

She says you owe her some money.

Well, I think you owe her

some kind of compensation.

She's a liar.

They're all liars.

You didn't come here

because of Vera.

Leave it.

It's all gone. Leave it alone.

You don't want to come here.

But I love you.

Well, you're on time.

Who is it?

Friends.

Oh, look, that's Christine.

Isn't that Christine?

If it is,

it was ten years ago.

She's been doing it again.

- Don't you like me at all?

- Yes.

Where's that Tony?

What's wrong with me, then?

Hey, come on.

We're waiting for you.

There's nothing wrong with you.

Come and join the party.

~ Give me my death

~ Close my eyes

~ Give me my breath

~ Close my eyes

Where's my drink?

It's here.

Do you want one, love, eh?

~ Now while I love you

~ Can't love without you... ~

Do you know where we're going

in the morning?

We're going to Brazil in the morning.

Aren't we, Tone? Eh? Brazil.

Want a fag?

No?

I've loaded it.

Hold it there.

Smile.

Let go.

Come on.

~ Now while I love you alone

~ Now while I love you alone

~ Now while I love you

~ Can't love without you

~ Must love without you alone

~ Leave it alone, it's all gone

~ Leave it alone

~ It's all gone

~ Don't stay to see me

~ Turn from your arms

~ Leave it alone, it's all gone

~ Give me my death

~ Close my mouth

~ Give me my breath

~ Close my mouth... ~

Get out!

Get them all out!

All right, come on.

Get out. Get out, all of you.

Come on.

And you. Come on, get up.

And you. Come on.

Come on.

Make it tomorrow night.

And bring John.

Come on!
