Young Adam Page #2

I had a dream about you yesterday

I don't think for months

- I think you have gone away

- I had gone away

I shed my own skin and hide in the frog

I am pregnant

it's your

Two months has gone

- Two months and you wanted me out of your life?

- This isn't going to happen

Is there anything you want me to do about it?

I just thought you should know who

you coud marry me and we'll make

wonderful babies together

Kid is not exactly I see it

Why not, Joe? What are you afraid of?

There's a kid in the barge and I spent every

moment I want to kick him out of the sight

You don't have to be like that

We'll work out intelligently

It's not about us

It's about what kids do to people

Cathie,I am not someone you want to marry

and you know that

- Have you been seeing anyone else?

- It's your child, Joe.

That doesn't answer my question

His name is Dan, he's a plumber

He's nice but I'm not really interested in him

- He's married anyway

- That's why you said it's mine

It's true

I have to get back to the barge

Don't run away, we can sort it out together

No, we can't. I'm not your anymore

That was not true. We were fearless

I was... then

I have to go

But Joe,what about the baby?

I'll send some money when I have some

I looked after you for more thay two years

You owe me more...

- Bye, Cathie.

- Joe, do you want to get on?

- No, see you at the next lock. - Allright.

Look at that, Joe

Daniel Gordon, plumber of 26 years old in Glasgow

was in custody charged with murder of

Catherine Dimly,

a future actress

Dimly's body was recovered 2 weeks ago

by two bargemen. He'll be tried

He'll be hang for sure

Well, we're going to celebrate

Not everyday I'm mentioned in the papers

Here, Joe.

- Joe, I'm going for a beer. Do you want to come?

- No, I'll finish this

Serve yourself

- I see you later

- see you later, Les

Ella. Les will be back in a minute

He's always late

You scare now?

Do you think he knows?

Of cause he does

How long he's been out there?

He must come down and see us

What can we do?

It depends on him really

Why it only depends on him?

There's... anyhow

He surveys the boat as if it prepared judgement

It's just his way of knowing we're there

Yes, he's done that

You're just going to lie here?

There's no hurry. I finish my cigarette.

I'm sorry, Les

It just happened

There's nothing personal against you

I just kick you f***ing head

I won't fight you, Les. Hit me

if you think it'll make you feel better

What about my son?

What do you think happens to my son

when you are f***ing my wife?

- It wasn't like that

- Like what, Joe?

Tell me what it was like

Look, I'll get my stuff

- I leave you to sort it out with Ella.

- This hard f***ing barge!

I'll go

So he'll write me a letter?

That's what he said

Do you want a cup of tea?

- Right, I'll do this one

- Me too

Look what we said before to each other, Joe.

Stop!

Stop! I don't like it. Joe

I can't swim. You know it. Stop!

I'm scared, I'm scared, bastard

They've set the day for the trial

FATHER OF TWO TO STAND TRIAL

I thought 4 he has

- What?

- Children. 4 kids

Yes, so did I. It must be a mistake

Push out the paper

Poor bastard

How? He killed an inocent woman

You are not the judge

He didn't do it

What makes you say it?

- It was an accident

- Not what they think

She died without her clothes

so it must be a murder?

Do you want to know how I know

it was an accident?

How do you know that

I know

I came for my stuff

I'll get it

- How is Jim?

- You know how he is

Go and see him yourself

I thought he was comming

Stay with me for a while

- You want a cup of tea?

- You've got work to do

They asked me as a witness at the trial

one of us is enough

I can not tell them anymore anyway

- You'll say hello to the boy for me?

- Go and see him

We need to find a lawyer

To make things proper again

Les said we have no future

He said once the ration fuel stops

The truck will take over

But that doesn't bother me

I've spent my life on the barges

When we save enough money, if you wish

There is a nice bangalo at

the quiet side of Edinburgh

Wouldn't take long, would it, Joe?

- What?

- The divorce

I don't know, Ella

I don't know about such things

It will be easier when Jim's bigger,

the three of us

Say hello to Joe

- Allright

- Bastard!

Mind you langue!

Your wage. Tax deducted

Board!

Some more

Stay ahead

- What's matter?

- It's Sam, my sister's husband

There has been un accident

He felt out the lorry, he was killed

It's about a week, I just got a letter

I sent her a telegram saying we'll visit her

I see you hva a new boyfriend

This is Joe. We're going to be married

You have to excuse me not being dressed

I was not xpecting visitors

Hello, aunt Gwen.

- Do you want a cup of tea?

- I'll help you

Com on, Jim.

Gwen will come to barge for a week or two

Hope you don't mind, Joe?

Don't want to spoil your honeymoon

That'll be good for him

She doesn't drink

Can't understand people who don't drink

If I don't drink in the morning

I'll be drunk the whole day

Gin's my drink

Not gin in lemonade

just gin strait

Some people find it a bit odd but not me

We shoul get a drink sometimes

Tonight?

We can tel Ella we go to the cinema

There's one thing I hate

that's going to the dentists

You sure you don't mind, Ella?

- I want to go to the picture

- No, you go

Someone has to stay and look after the barge

You enjoy yourself

See you later, Ella

Of cause I'm sorry for Sam

one did not want it to happen

I didn't have time to think a lot though

I have to forget it as soon as possible

The bus killed him

I thought he fell off the lorry

Yes he did. Then the bus ran him over

It's about time Ella will look after ourself

how she is doing

One of your girlfriends?

- Yes, she died

- You still carry her photo

Yes, I don't know why

- I should have get rid of it long time ago

- Of cause you should

The dead can't count for himself

Drink your cup

We have better things to attend to

Look at the mess you've made to me

I'm tired

See you in the morning

Leave me alone, Joe

He killed her, as simple as that

We'll see what the judge will say

- The law warranty the justice.

- yes

You want to know what I thing

of this so-called justice?

Lawyers only play words

This bastard should be hung!

I agree. If this guy is guilty

he has to be hung

Calm

Hi there

- Not much

I know you 're going to finish it

I'm trying to do something

- I'm trying something new

- No, I don't understand

Why can't you write an ordinary book?

What other people can't understand
