Somers Town (2008) - full transcript
Two teenagers, both newcomers to London, forge an unlikely friendship over the course of a hot summer. Tomo is a runaway from Nottingham; Marek lives in the district of Somers Town, between King's Cross and Euston stations, where his dad is working on a new rail link. The boys are both infatuated with the same girl, and pass their days bickering over which of them loves her the most. Finding himself homeless, Tomo surreptitiously moves into Marek's bedroom - but it's only a matter of time before Marek's dad discovers what's going on...
# Wake up, you sleepy fly
# Forget the debt you owe
# We'll sing the sorrow song
# We'll sing of all you know
- Hello.
- Hiya.
You live upstairs, don't you?
You in a rush?
# Wake up, you sleepy fly
# You gotta raise a vein
# We gave you things to say
# Believe yourself again
Excuse me, is anyone sitting there?
- No, go ahead.
- Thank you.
So, did you travel from Glasgow or...?
No, I live in Nottingham.
- Nottingham?
- Yeah.
- Cool, that's where I'm from actually.
- Oh, is it?
- Yeah.
- You having a day out?
Well, I'm just coming to stay in London
for a bit.
Sorry, but listen,
you take care of yourself.
All right, nice to see you.
See you again soon.

"Would you like Big Issues?"
"How much big ones when I go
Manchester for cheap time?"
and "You don't give shit about me
yourself, dick."
Shit!
Shit, bloody, eff-all, boobs.
Excuse me, will you go into shop
for us, please?
- What for?
- Four cans of Carling.
- How old are you?
- 18.
Get them yourself, then.
I can't, cos they won't believe I'm 18.
I ain't got no ID.
Plea...
Excuse me, will you go into
shop for me, please?
Get this joker. What d'you want?
Can you get me four cans
of Carling, please?
Give me the money.
- Cheers.
- For you, the drink?
- Pardon?
- That for you, the drink?
No, they're for my dad.
I don't drink.
"Dear Doris, I'm seeing a lovely girl
"and we want to take thing
to the next stage
"but I'm afraid of hurting her
because I'm too bit too well-en...endowed."
Endowed.
"I'm 24, she's 23,
"and we've been together for four months,
"but previous girlfriends have said
"having sex with me
has made them sore afterwards."
"Is there anything I can do about it?"
Erm... "I think this girl's the one for me,
"and I don't want to hurt her."
Doris.
Doris says,
"Being well-endowed can be
much more tricky than being small.
"Foreplay is extra important, but...
"as long as you make sure
your girlfriend is completely aroused
"and are skilful,
you can give her pleasure without pain."
- No, no, no, don't take pictures, son.
- Sorry.
I don't want everyone to know
what's in 'ere.
What's your name?
- Marek.
Marek. You and your dad
settling in all right?
You live upstairs, don't you?
- Yeah.
Yeah. My name's Graham. Graham Cutler,
I'm from a long line of Cutlers.
I see you got this lovely
Man United shirt on.
Let me tell you something, Marek,
people round 'ere, they don't really
appreciate Manchester United.
To keep you safe, Marek,
I want to give you a little present.
Wait there.
- OK.
I think you should put it on straight away
without delay, just for safety purposes.
- For me?
- Yeah. Try it on.
- OK.
- Yeah.
Give me your camera.
- OK.
There you go.
Ta.
It should fit.
Try it on.
Put it on over the other one.
OK.
Yes, much better!
Arsenal - champions!
You see that?
That'll keep you safe.
Now, you can keep that for nothing.
That's free.
All you gotta do is help me with a little
bit of unloading - is that all right?
- OK.
- Yeah?
Here, look, take these and put
them on the left in there.
The left-hand side just round there.
Can you take two at a time?
Is that all right?
Yeah, got it?
Big strong boy, ain't you?
Yeah, good.
- You all right, mate?
- How are you?
- Fine.
- What's goin' on?
Where you from?
You're not from round here.
- I'm from the Midlands.
- Oh, OK. Not bad.
- You got a beer?
- No.
Nice smooth hair you got,
what shampoo do you use?
- Head & Shoulders.
- Can I have some?
- Why?
- I want some. Can I have some?
- Don't take the piss.
- Go on, be a good boy.
- Yeah!
- Is it nice?
- Do some of that.
- Save me some of that.
- That's buff, you should try that, man.
- You don't mind if I have a little bit?
- No.
- Better not.
- How's that?
- It's good stuff.
Finish that, finish that.
- That's the way to do it.
- That's the way.
You don't mind, do you?
Cheers,
you ain't got another one, have you?
So what brings you down 'ere?
I'm just down here. I just come down.
- Just come down?
- What for?
Just to, I dunno, see the sights.
Ain't to start trouble, is it?
- No.
- Good.
That's a nice jacket, man,
where'd you get that from?
- Shop.
- How much did it cost?
- Dunno.
- Let me try it on.
Look at these!
Those ones are nice.
- I've gotta go.
- Where you going?
I've gotta wait for my mate.
I thought you said you was down here
from the Midlands.
Wait, where you going, mate?
I'm going to me mate's.
Come here.
We only want to talk to you.
Hey, come here!
Hey, catch him, catch him!
Hey, come here!
What you running for?
I said I wanted to talk to you.
- Gimme that bag.
- Give him that bag!
- Stomp him, stomp him.
- Aargh!
Aargh!
- Shit!
- Come on, let's go.
Get the bag, get the bag.
Go on, go, go, go!
Loser!
Oh!
Jane!
All right?
Tomo, what the hell happened to you?
Oh, these three lads last night.
Oh, Tomo!
See, I told you, it's rough here.
Did you get mugged?
Well, they took my bag
and some of my stuff and that.
Have they taken your money?
Oh, Tomo, are you all right?
Jesus, God, look at you.
- There you go, sweetheart. All right?
- Thank you. Thanks very much.
Here y'are. Get that down you.
Thanks.
So, what you gonna do?
I don't know.
I've got nowhere to go...
nothing at all,
no bag, no money, no clothes...
nothing.
Won't it be better going back home?
I hated it.
I've got nothing at all.
What about your pals?
They're not me real mates,
they're just people I know.
Useless waste of space, like me.
Don't think like that.
Well, it's true.
Can you do me a favour, please?
Can you lend me some money?
I'll buy you a train ticket.
What about if I pretended
it was for a train ticket?
You've got some cheek.
Here's a tenner.
Thank you.
I've gotta go, I've got a meeting.
- OK.
- Are you gonna be all right?
- Yeah.
- OK.
- See you again.
- You take care.
Who are you?
Don't matter.
It's my photograph.
Who's she?
It's not your business.
She's pretty fit.
Is she a model?
- What?
- I said she's quite fit, is she a model?
No.
So you do things for magazines
like pornos and... sex magazines?
No!
I'm only asking.
You should do.
She should get in 'em.
Give them to me.
Oi, you lads, cut it out.
We was only messing about.
We're best mates.
Yeah, all right,
well, just calm down, all right?
Yeah.
Get back.
Get back, else I'll drop 'em.
- Give me them back.
- No. I just wanted to look.
If you want my watch...
..here you are. And bag.
I don't want your bag and watch, mate,
I just wanted to look.
I was only messing about.
Here.
Who's she?
She? Maria.
Maria?
- Pretty fit.
- She is.
Yeah.
Where's she from?
France, Paris.
So where are you from?
- Me?
- Yeah.
- From Poland.
- Oi!
What you doing?
You know it's private here?
Yeah, we do.
Clear off, then, or I'll call the police.
- Shut up!
- I'll get the police. Clear off!
- Bye.
- Hold on, man. Oi, wait!
Oh, my God, you look big!
- Hey, that's enough of that.
- Shut up!
- I'll remember your face.
- Yeah, whatever!
- Got a photographic memory.
- Yeah.
So, what happened to your face?
I got beat up last night
by three lads, down there.
They nicked my bag and everything.
Where do you live?
Erm, everywhere. Anywhere.
Just around here.
On the streets too?
Mm.
Where do you live?
In there, with my father.
Which one do you live in?
I'll come and call for you tomorrow.
I show you later.
What, d'you want me to come with you
to see your flat or your house?
I don't know. If you want.
Yeah?
What, your dad won't mind, will he?
What, he will mind or will he let me?
I don't know.
What's his name?
- Dad's name?
- Yeah.
Mariusz.
Cool. What's your name?
Oh, I'm Marek.
- Tomo. Nice to meet you, mate.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hey, Graham.
- How you doing, Marek?
- I'm OK, thank you.
- Nice to see you, mate.
Who's your sidekick, then?
- He's my friend, Tomo.
- Tomo. All right, Tomo?
- All right.
- Where you from, then?
- Erm, Nottingham.
- Up North, eh?
Yeah, well, Midlands.
Midlands?
What bit of the Midlands is that?
- East. East Midlands.
- East, oh!
Thanks for helping us yesterday. I see
you're wearing the shirt. Nice one, son.
What you doing later on this afternoon?
D'you wanna earn a fiver?
Yeah.
Well, I was asking Marek actually, Tomo,
to tell you the truth.
Erm, basically, what it is, tomorrow,
I want you to sit down on a deckchair,
with a big pile of deckchairs by you...
- Yeah.
...and when someone comes along
and they want to hire a deckchair,
you have to stand up,
just for a couple of seconds,
take the money and sit back down again.
Sound easy enough?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Can I do it as well?
Will you vouch for him?
Is he an 'ard worker?
Yeah.
- Yeah?
- I think so.
OK, five pound each.
Is that all right, is that a deal?
- Yeah, yeah.
- There's one little catch.
See this lot of deckchairs we've got 'ere,
and these ones lined up over 'ere,
we gotta sand them down today,
so no one gets splinters.
So, if you wanna pick up the sandpaper
and get going on it, son.
So, do we get a fiver for this
and a fiver for tomorrow?
- That's a tenner.
- He's a joker, in't he?
No, five pound, that's it.
And you gotta prove yourself to me first,
d'you understand?
- OK.
- Yeah? All right, go on.
No, no, no, no, Tomo, not that one, son.
Look, one of them over there.
Pick one up. You gotta start your own chair,
go on. Get a spurt on,
Have we gotta do 'em all?
Yeah, all of 'em, yeah.
There ain't that many of 'em.
The sooner you get a start on it,
the sooner we'll do it.
I know that he's an 'ard worker.
There you go.
Tomo?
Tomo, wake up.
Maria.
Your food.
There ain't a lot there, mate.
There's only a little bit.
I can't give you more.
The rest is for my dad.
How much is your dad having?
Eat.
So, erm, why have you got
so many pictures of Maria?
Is she your girlfriend, or summat?
Yes, she is.
So... have you had sex with her?
No.
Only felt the bazookas?
No!
Well, obviously, her being your girlfriend,
you've kissed her, yeah?
Not yet.
Look, mate, in England,
it's sort of like a tradition
for like a... girlfriend to kiss her boyfriend,
so, it sounds to me like you're
not actually with her, you just like her.
In Poland,
we mustn't kiss to be together,
and you think only about one thing.
But, mate, we're not in Poland.
This is England and so... it sounds to me
like she's not your girlfriend.
So, I'm gonna try and get in there
with her, so, when I get with her,
I'm not gonna be that comfortable
with you having pictures of my girlfriend,
so, d'you wanna give me them now or...
No, door closed.
You must go and find another girl.
She's my girlfriend.
And eat fast, I must meet my dad.
Why can't I stay here?
You can't stay,
you must eat and go out.
Where am I gonna go, mate?
I don't know.
So, you're just gonna
let me out on the street again?
Please, I'm not gonna nick owt.
Tomo, it's me.
Wake up.
Are you hungry?
Eat.
- What's that?
- Sausage, Polish. Kielbasa.
Mate, I can't eat no more foreign food.
- Why?
- Half my insides are burning.
I need a poo really bad.
It's all the spiciness and that.
I need the toilet.
No, you can't have toilet.
My father is drunk, he will kill you.
Mate, it's important.
Wait, I have good idea.
- I need to go.
- Wait!
I give you plastic bag from kitchen.
You do it in, then we throw it in the window.
What, here?
- What?
- Here?
Yeah.
Is there no way I can go to the toilet,
please?
- No.
- What about toilet roll?
- Only plastic bag.
- What about what can I wipe my bum with?
- Please, mate.
- No.
Will you get me some toilet roll
on the way, then?
Wait, I give you plastic bag. Wait.
Don't forget toilet roll, please.
Wait. OK.
Please... hurry up.
- Don't forget toilet roll.
- OK!
She's so fit, man.
She's loads better than she
looks on the pictures.
What d'you think she's talking about now?
Oi!
- Oi!
- What?
- I said, what d'you think she's talking about?
- I don't know. Probably France.
I'd love to just
take her out for a meal,
and just be with her and hold her
and just eat together and...
maybe she'll feed me and she'll be
saying at the end of the night,
"Ooh, Thomasy, I love you so much.
"I want to feed you grapes and
feed you bread and cheese..."
- Shut up.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- How are you today? Hi.
What happened to your face?
I just got into a fight with three lads.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Does it hurt, sweetie?
- Nah.
- Sure?
Yeah, yeah. If you think that's bad,
you should see the state of them.
- I dominated all three of 'em.
- Just be careful, yeah?
Yeah, cool.
- How are you, Marek?
- I am fine.
- Yeah?
- Thank you. And you?
I'm fine, thank you.
How did your pictures go?
- Very good.
- Yeah?
- You have to show them to me sometime.
- Of course.
So, do you like photography,
arts and writing and things?
- Yeah, I do, actually.
- Cool, I'm actually a painter myself.
- Really?
- Yeah, I do everything. I do...
glasses, wine bottles...
...anything.
- Really?
- You name something,
- I'll tell you if I've done it.
- Erm, a flower.
Yeah, I've done flowers,
I've done fruit,
cakes.
I do women sometimes.
I actually did, like... It weren't awesome but
it was an OK drawing of the Eiffel Tower.
- The Eiffel Tower?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Show it to me.
- Yeah, of course I will.
Maybe I should do you sometime.
Maybe.
- Definitely.
- Do you want something to drink?
- Lemonade, please.
- Lemonade. And you?
I'm gonna stay off the fizzies, I reckon.
Can I just have a...a still water, please?
- No ice.
- OK.
Cheers.
You're not a painter.
She's so fit...
I am. I am!
- No!
- I've got loads of paintings, loads!
- Show me one.
- Well, I ain't got my bag, have l?
- Mm-hm.
- Hm.
Of course.
Oh, come on, someone sit down.
We've been sat around
for four and a half hours!
Oh, come on, it's getting cold now,
- can we not just call it a day?
- No, it's not!
Can we not just call it a day?
- No.
- Tomo, shut up, please!
You shut up.
Right. So you're saying the guy who dropped
it off has definitely gone, he's not here?
Yeah.
So, which way did he go?
That way.
So, he went that way,
we'll go that way, yeah?
- OK.
- So, I'm just gonna go in,
cool, natural, and just be myself,
and I'll just pick it up and...
Just watch and learn,
learn from the master.
Don't worry about it, I'll pull it off.
Shall I go with you, master?
What for?
I can fake heart attack
or something like this.
What d'you want to fake
an 'eart attack for?
If you just do it the way I'm gonna do it,
then it'll...it'll...it'll happen.
It's just... It's just me,
I can do everything.
So, just stay there a second, just one
minute, back in a minute. Don't move.
I'm just gonna...
just get these for...Uncle Ian.
Ian'll get these, these'll get to Ian.
Ian.
Come on, hurry up.
Come on.
Ta-da!
What's that - grandma's raincoat?
What else is in there?
A girl's blouse.
What else is in there?
Trousers.
Rupert Bear trousers!
No! What else is in there?
I want summat decent.
That's cool.
Like businessman.
Mate, you're not a businessman.
Take it off, it's not a fashion show.
I thought you said the person
who dropped the bag off looked like me.
Maybe he washes for his grandparents,
I don't know.
That's nice. Retro trousers.
There not retro, they're ridiculous!
Mate, just get my tracksuit, please.
I'm gonna be stuck in that tracksuit
for the rest of my life.
Is it dry?
Yeah.
No, it's not, it's soaked!
What the flippin' heck's that?
What you done to it?
I don't know, not me.
You've wrecked my clothes,
my only bits of clothes!
A pen!
For God's sake!
Maybe this one?
Mate, it's a dress!
Put it in your trousers.
Why are you being stupid?
Why are you finding this funny
that I've got no clothes to wear?
God's sake, grow up!
Don't be a baby!
Come back, Tomo!
Marek.
- Oi!
- What?
I've chosen
some clothes out the bag.
- Show me.
- Promise you won't laugh.
I won't.
Come on, you promised you wouldn't laugh.
Sorry. You look great.
I think I look like a female golfer.
No!
No.
Honestly, you look fine.
- What's that?
- What?
- What?
- That.
- Yeah?
- It's a wheelchair.
Yeah, it is.
- Whose do you reckon that is?
- I don't know.
Don't look like anyone's.
- Shall we go get it?
- OK.
I'll race you down.
Come on, quick!
So, d'you think she'll like it all, then?
Of course, it's flowers, umbrella and bell,
everything.
Don't worry.
I just don't want to serve him.
All right, listen, I'll say something,
but just, you know, accept the fact,
he's a bloody idiot.
Oh, God, talking of idiots.
- Go on.
- I'll see you.
All right, sweetheart.
I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Let me change the sign for you.
Thanks.
- Hello.
- I had a car crash.
- No, you haven't.
- No, you're right, I haven't.
What's this?
A special taxi for you.
- No, really?
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, door-to-door service.
But I live really far away.
- It doesn't matter.
- We don't care.
Come on, in.
Thank you very much, my darlings.
I feel very honoured.
- So, which way?
- This way.
OK.
- Let's go.
- Go, go, go!
You boys are crazy.
# Are you a gambler?
# You gonna take a chance on this life?
# Are you a strangler?
# Are you gonna kill it all?
# Are your friends and your lovers,
your God-fearing brothers all gone?
# This is this all you got left
# And you don't see it lasting that long
# Are you a whirlwind?
# Do you suck in everything around you?
# Are you a monster?
# Do you destroy it all?
# Are your friends and your lovers,
your God-fearing brothers all gone?
# Is this all you got left
# And you don't see it lasting that long?
# Low, low, low
# Low is the man, so hard are the blows
# Low, low, low
# Low... are the punches
# For you #
This is where I live.
- Yeah, which one?
- With the flowers.
- Oh.
- Up there.
Thank you so much
for taking me home, boys.
Thank you.
It's been the best day I've had
since I've come to London.
It's our pleasure.
And I love the way
you decorated my chair.
Can I have a kiss now, please?
And remember,
I love you both the same.
Bye.
See you later.
Yeah!
See you later.
- Bye.
Whoo-ha!
Tomo, hurry up.
- What?
- We have no time.
What d'you want?
- What?
- Hurry up.
- Why?
- My dad will be back soon.
Why? Your dad's just gone to work.
He only gone to the shop.
- Just two minutes.
- He will catch you!
- Just two minutes.
- No, I'm coming.
Oh!
Tomo, what are doing?
I'm lonely.
Ow!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Who is it?
It's Tomo and Marek.
- Who?
- Tomo and Marek!
Hurry up.
Oh, what's wrong, boys?
What?
Do you know what time it is?
It's seven o'clock in the morning!
- So?
- What do you mean, so?
This is the middle of the night for me.
So, here, we've brought you some stuff.
What about that?
We brought you some clothes.
I don't want none of your stuff!
You woke me up
at seven o'clock in the morning
to bring me this load of old rubbish.
Are you mad?
We brought you some clothes.
Do you want to buy 'em?
That's bird's dresses, I don't want that!
What would I want that for?
You can sell 'em.
You can sell it all.
- You can sell it all.
- Wait a minute.
Retro trousers.
You can sell 'em all.
I'll give you a fiver for the suit.
We're selling it all together.
- What?
- You must buy all.
I don't want all of it.
All I want is this.
Well, you can resell it on the market.
So, how much d'you want for all of it?
Twenty-five, twenty quid?
Twenty-five qui...
Why's... Eurgh!
Now, piss off
and let me get back to bed, you.
Seven o'clock in the morning!
I don't know what...
Vin! Come on!
We got everything -
bread, wine, grapes, cheese, onions?
- Yeah.
- Things to sit on.
It's gonna be ace, this.
So, just let me do all the talking,
cos I'm better than you at it.
- OK. Hello.
- Hello, lads.
Where's Maria?
I'm afraid she ain't in today.
She told us that she was gonna be in.
No, she had to go home.
One of her family's sick or something.
No problem, we go and find her.
No, no, lads, not here home,
Paris home.
- Where?
- France.
She didn't tell us.
- When did she go?
- This morning.
Don't worry, there'll be another
little bird here next week.
Not like Maria.
What about all these things for her?
I...I don't know, I don't care.
Do what you want with it.
And remember,
I love you both the same.
Yeah, right! What a crock!
It's really annoying that we spent a lot
of money on all this food and that.
On the cheese and bread and grapes.
She didn't even have the decency
to tell us she was going.
OK, give me a bottle.
You've had loads.
Please.
There's only half a bottle left,
I've only had like two swigs.
- Please.
- Don't have loads, then.
Thank you.
By the way, have you ever drunk...
have you ever drunk before?
- No.
- You've had like two swigs
and you're all over the shop.
You don't even know what you're saying.
Look at you.
What you staring at?
You're out of your head.
Why did anything good
never happen to me?
Oh, stop crying and don't be big baby.
I'm not crying and I'm not a big baby, am I?
It's called love, son.
You don't love her more than me.
Well, obviously I do!
You've got long hair and a stupid accent.
You've got stupid clothes.
- So?
- So.
I can just go nick some from a shop.
You can't change the way you speak.
Anyway, let's not fall out over a girl.
How much money have we got?
I don't know. Ten pounds.
That's all.
Just a tenner?
OK.
Right, then, let's forget about Maria.
Get wasted.
No!
You look like a German!
It's mine!
Yeah! Ah-ha!
Let's turn this up a bit.
Whoo!
Ah-oo!
Three, two, one, go!
Ha! Ah-ah!
Hoo!
He's turned the music off.
- Tomo!
- Is this your dad?
I think so.
All right, mate?
What?
What?
Any chance of a trans...
What?
What?
- I don't know who are you.
- I'm Tomo.
But, but...
Please.
I want, put on your clothes and leave.
- Yeah, mate.
- At once.
I'll put them on, I'll take myself out.
Hey, out!
- Please, please!
- Out!
Out!
Oh!
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello.
- Where am I?
- Barbados.
Cup of tea there.
Oh!
Do you remember what 'appened last night?
It's nice, this. Great cooking.
Good.
Banging headache.
Look, why don't you just go home, son?
You're gonna get yourself into all sorts
of trouble if you stay down here.
- You know that, don't you?
- Well, I can't go home and I like it here.
What d'you mean, you can't go 'ome?
If it's money,
I'll lend you the money to get 'ome.
It's not money.
I've just got nothing to go home to.
- What, no 'ome?
- No.
- No relatives or nothing?
- No.
Well, look, you can stay 'ere
for a bit, right,
but you're gonna 'ave to 'elp me out.
I mean, when I say "Jump",
you're gonna say "How high?"
Yeah?
Help me out, do whatever I say,
whatever I tell you to do.
- Yeah?
- Yeah. Not in like a sexual way or summat.
Sex? No! Sexual way?
What you talking about?
No, not a sexual way!
- Mm-hm.
- Mm-hm.
Hm.
OK.
Ohh!
- Lovely day, innit?
- Yeah.
Mm. The sun's shining.
Look at that station, it's amazing.
It's very huge.
Massive.
Maybe,
like one weekend, we could
save up some money.
Go... Obviously because we're not even
two minutes away from the station,
just get on the train and just go,
for a weekend.
Can you imagine that, just us two?
OK.
If you want, I can ask my dad
to get us cheaper tickets.
He works there.
Really?
Cool, definitely.
It'd be fun, wouldn't it?
It'd just be like a bit of a road trip
between me and you.
Like, just best mates going to Paris.
See the Eiffel Tower,
eat croissants, drink red wine,
cheese, bread.
It'd be good.
Just see Maria
and just have a laugh with her,
Iike we did the other day.
I mean, it wouldn't be hard to find her.
I mean, she's a beautiful girl.
Yeah, she is.
Yeah.
And she must be popular in Paris.
So... I just hope she ain't got a boyfriend.
Anyway...
I'm gonna get back to
the head polishing.
Polish.
Good old Brasso.
Yeah.
- What you gonna do?
- I am staying here.
- You'll stay here?
- Yeah.
All right, then, mate, well, I'll
maybe come down in a bit
we'll go over to the park or just...
- OK.
...just go out for a bit, yeah?
All right, I'll see you in a bit, mate.
- See you later.
- See you later.

"Would you like Big Issues?"
"How much big ones when I go

and "You don't give shit about me

Shit!
Shit, bloody, eff-all, boobs.
Excuse me, will you go into shop
for us, please?
- What for?
- Four cans of Carling.
- How old are you?
- 18.
Get them yourself, then.
I can't, cos they won't believe I'm 18.
I ain't got no ID.
Plea...
Excuse me, will you go into
shop for me, please?
Get this joker. What d'you want?
Can you get me four cans
of Carling, please?
Give me the money.
- Cheers.
- For you, the drink?
- Pardon?
- That for you, the drink?
No, they're for my dad.
I don't drink.
"Dear Doris, I'm seeing a lovely girl
"and we want to take thing
to the next stage
"but I'm afraid of hurting her
because I'm too bit too well-en...endowed."
Endowed.
"I'm 24, she's 23,
"and we've been together for four months,
"but previous girlfriends have said
"having sex with me
has made them sore afterwards."
"Is there anything I can do about it?"
Erm... "I think this girl's the one for me,
"and I don't want to hurt her."
Doris.
Doris says,
"Being well-endowed can be
much more tricky than being small.
"Foreplay is extra important, but...
"as long as you make sure
your girlfriend is completely aroused
"and are skilful,
you can give her pleasure without pain."
- No, no, no, don't take pictures, son.
- Sorry.
I don't want everyone to know
what's in 'ere.
What's your name?
- Marek.
Marek. You and your dad
settling in all right?
You live upstairs, don't you?
- Yeah.
Yeah. My name's Graham. Graham Cutler,
I'm from a long line of Cutlers.
I see you got this lovely
Man United shirt on.
Let me tell you something, Marek,
people round 'ere, they don't really
appreciate Manchester United.
To keep you safe, Marek,
I want to give you a little present.
Wait there.
- OK.
I think you should put it on straight away
without delay, just for safety purposes.
- For me?
- Yeah. Try it on.
- OK.
- Yeah.
Give me your camera.
- OK.
There you go.
Ta.
It should fit.
Try it on.
Put it on over the other one.
OK.
Yes, much better!
Arsenal - champions!
You see that?
That'll keep you safe.
Now, you can keep that for nothing.
That's free.
All you gotta do is help me with a little
bit of unloading - is that all right?
- OK.
- Yeah?
Here, look, take these and put
them on the left in there.
The left-hand side just round there.
Can you take two at a time?
Is that all right?
Yeah, got it?
Big strong boy, ain't you?
Yeah, good.
- You all right, mate?
- How are you?
- Fine.
- What's goin' on?
Where you from?
You're not from round here.
- I'm from the Midlands.
- Oh, OK. Not bad.
- You got a beer?
- No.
Nice smooth hair you got,
what shampoo do you use?
- Head & Shoulders.
- Can I have some?
- Why?
- I want some. Can I have some?
- Don't take the piss.
- Go on, be a good boy.
- Yeah!
- Is it nice?
- Do some of that.
- Save me some of that.
- That's buff, you should try that, man.
- You don't mind if I have a little bit?
- No.
- Better not.
- How's that?
- It's good stuff.
Finish that, finish that.
- That's the way to do it.
- That's the way.
You don't mind, do you?
Cheers,
you ain't got another one, have you?
So what brings you down 'ere?
I'm just down here. I just come down.
- Just come down?
- What for?
Just to, I dunno, see the sights.
Ain't to start trouble, is it?
- No.
- Good.
That's a nice jacket, man,
where'd you get that from?
- Shop.
- How much did it cost?
- Dunno.
- Let me try it on.
Look at these!
Those ones are nice.
- I've gotta go.
- Where you going?
I've gotta wait for my mate.
I thought you said you was down here
from the Midlands.
Wait, where you going, mate?
I'm going to me mate's.
Come here.
We only want to talk to you.
Hey, come here!
Hey, catch him, catch him!
Hey, come here!
What you running for?
I said I wanted to talk to you.
- Gimme that bag.
- Give him that bag!
- Stomp him, stomp him.
- Aargh!
Aargh!
- Shit!
- Come on, let's go.
Get the bag, get the bag.
Go on, go, go, go!
Loser!
Oh!
Jane!
All right?
Tomo, what the hell happened to you?
Oh, these three lads last night.
Oh, Tomo!
See, I told you, it's rough here.
Did you get mugged?
Well, they took my bag
and some of my stuff and that.
Have they taken your money?
Oh, Tomo, are you all right?
Jesus, God, look at you.
- There you go, sweetheart. All right?
- Thank you. Thanks very much.
Here y'are. Get that down you.
Thanks.
So, what you gonna do?
I don't know.
I've got nowhere to go...
nothing at all,
no bag, no money, no clothes...
nothing.
Won't it be better going back home?
I hated it.
I've got nothing at all.
What about your pals?
They're not me real mates,
they're just people I know.
Useless waste of space, like me.
Don't think like that.
Well, it's true.
Can you do me a favour, please?
Can you lend me some money?
I'll buy you a train ticket.
What about if I pretended
it was for a train ticket?
You've got some cheek.
Here's a tenner.
Thank you.
I've gotta go, I've got a meeting.
- OK.
- Are you gonna be all right?
- Yeah.
- OK.
- See you again.
- You take care.
Who are you?
Don't matter.
It's my photograph.
Who's she?
It's not your business.
She's pretty fit.
Is she a model?
- What?
- I said she's quite fit, is she a model?
No.
So you do things for magazines
like pornos and... sex magazines?
No!
I'm only asking.
You should do.
She should get in 'em.
Give them to me.
Oi, you lads, cut it out.
We was only messing about.
We're best mates.
Yeah, all right,
well, just calm down, all right?
Yeah.
Get back.
Get back, else I'll drop 'em.
- Give me them back.
- No. I just wanted to look.
If you want my watch...
..here you are. And bag.
I don't want your bag and watch, mate,
I just wanted to look.
I was only messing about.
Here.
Who's she?
She? Maria.
Maria?
- Pretty fit.
- She is.
Yeah.
Where's she from?
France, Paris.
So where are you from?
- Me?
- Yeah.
- From Poland.
- Oi!
What you doing?
You know it's private here?
Yeah, we do.
Clear off, then, or I'll call the police.
- Shut up!
- I'll get the police. Clear off!
- Bye.
- Hold on, man. Oi, wait!
Oh, my God, you look big!
- Hey, that's enough of that.
- Shut up!
- I'll remember your face.
- Yeah, whatever!
- Got a photographic memory.
- Yeah.
So, what happened to your face?
I got beat up last night
by three lads, down there.
They nicked my bag and everything.
Where do you live?
Erm, everywhere. Anywhere.
Just around here.
On the streets too?
Mm.
Where do you live?
In there, with my father.
Which one do you live in?
I'll come and call for you tomorrow.
I show you later.
What, d'you want me to come with you
to see your flat or your house?
I don't know. If you want.
Yeah?
What, your dad won't mind, will he?
What, he will mind or will he let me?
I don't know.
What's his name?
- Dad's name?
- Yeah.
Mariusz.
Cool. What's your name?
Oh, I'm Marek.
- Tomo. Nice to meet you, mate.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hey, Graham.
- How you doing, Marek?
- I'm OK, thank you.
- Nice to see you, mate.
Who's your sidekick, then?
- He's my friend, Tomo.
- Tomo. All right, Tomo?
- All right.
- Where you from, then?
- Erm, Nottingham.
- Up North, eh?
Yeah, well, Midlands.
Midlands?
What bit of the Midlands is that?
- East. East Midlands.
- East, oh!
Thanks for helping us yesterday. I see
you're wearing the shirt. Nice one, son.
What you doing later on this afternoon?
D'you wanna earn a fiver?
Yeah.
Well, I was asking Marek actually, Tomo,
to tell you the truth.
Erm, basically, what it is, tomorrow,
I want you to sit down on a deckchair,
with a big pile of deckchairs by you...
- Yeah.
...and when someone comes along
and they want to hire a deckchair,
you have to stand up,
just for a couple of seconds,
take the money and sit back down again.
Sound easy enough?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Can I do it as well?
Will you vouch for him?
Is he an 'ard worker?
Yeah.
- Yeah?
- I think so.
OK, five pound each.
Is that all right, is that a deal?
- Yeah, yeah.
- There's one little catch.
See this lot of deckchairs we've got 'ere,
and these ones lined up over 'ere,
we gotta sand them down today,
so no one gets splinters.
So, if you wanna pick up the sandpaper
and get going on it, son.
So, do we get a fiver for this
and a fiver for tomorrow?
- That's a tenner.
- He's a joker, in't he?
No, five pound, that's it.
And you gotta prove yourself to me first,
d'you understand?
- OK.
- Yeah? All right, go on.
No, no, no, no, Tomo, not that one, son.
Look, one of them over there.
Pick one up. You gotta start your own chair,
go on. Get a spurt on,
Have we gotta do 'em all?
Yeah, all of 'em, yeah.
There ain't that many of 'em.
The sooner you get a start on it,
the sooner we'll do it.
I know that he's an 'ard worker.
There you go.
Tomo?
Tomo, wake up.
Maria.
Your food.
There ain't a lot there, mate.
There's only a little bit.
I can't give you more.
The rest is for my dad.
How much is your dad having?
Eat.
So, erm, why have you got
so many pictures of Maria?
Is she your girlfriend, or summat?
Yes, she is.
So... have you had sex with her?
No.
Only felt the bazookas?
No!
Well, obviously, her being your girlfriend,
you've kissed her, yeah?
Not yet.
Look, mate, in England,
it's sort of like a tradition
for like a... girlfriend to kiss her boyfriend,
so, it sounds to me like you're
not actually with her, you just like her.
In Poland,
we mustn't kiss to be together,
and you think only about one thing.
But, mate, we're not in Poland.
This is England and so... it sounds to me
like she's not your girlfriend.
So, I'm gonna try and get in there
with her, so, when I get with her,
I'm not gonna be that comfortable
with you having pictures of my girlfriend,
so, d'you wanna give me them now or...
No, door closed.
You must go and find another girl.
She's my girlfriend.
And eat fast, I must meet my dad.
Why can't I stay here?
You can't stay,
you must eat and go out.
Where am I gonna go, mate?
I don't know.
So, you're just gonna
let me out on the street again?
Please, I'm not gonna nick owt.
Tomo, it's me.
Wake up.
Are you hungry?
Eat.
- What's that?
- Sausage, Polish. Kielbasa.
Mate, I can't eat no more foreign food.
- Why?
- Half my insides are burning.
I need a poo really bad.
It's all the spiciness and that.
I need the toilet.
No, you can't have toilet.
My father is drunk, he will kill you.
Mate, it's important.
Wait, I have good idea.
- I need to go.
- Wait!
I give you plastic bag from kitchen.
You do it in, then we throw it in the window.
What, here?
- What?
- Here?
Yeah.
Is there no way I can go to the toilet,
please?
- No.
- What about toilet roll?
- Only plastic bag.
- What about what can I wipe my bum with?
- Please, mate.
- No.
Will you get me some toilet roll
on the way, then?
Wait, I give you plastic bag. Wait.
Don't forget toilet roll, please.
Wait. OK.
Please... hurry up.
- Don't forget toilet roll.
- OK!
She's so fit, man.
She's loads better than she
looks on the pictures.
What d'you think she's talking about now?
Oi!
- Oi!
- What?
- I said, what d'you think she's talking about?
- I don't know. Probably France.
I'd love to just
take her out for a meal,
and just be with her and hold her
and just eat together and...
maybe she'll feed me and she'll be
saying at the end of the night,
"Ooh, Thomasy, I love you so much.
"I want to feed you grapes and
feed you bread and cheese..."
- Shut up.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- How are you today? Hi.
What happened to your face?
I just got into a fight with three lads.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Does it hurt, sweetie?
- Nah.
- Sure?
Yeah, yeah. If you think that's bad,
you should see the state of them.
- I dominated all three of 'em.
- Just be careful, yeah?
Yeah, cool.
- How are you, Marek?
- I am fine.
- Yeah?
- Thank you. And you?
I'm fine, thank you.
How did your pictures go?
- Very good.
- Yeah?
- You have to show them to me sometime.
- Of course.
So, do you like photography,
arts and writing and things?
- Yeah, I do, actually.
- Cool, I'm actually a painter myself.
- Really?
- Yeah, I do everything. I do...
glasses, wine bottles...
...anything.
- Really?
- You name something,
- I'll tell you if I've done it.
- Erm, a flower.
Yeah, I've done flowers,
I've done fruit,
cakes.
I do women sometimes.
I actually did, like... It weren't awesome but
it was an OK drawing of the Eiffel Tower.
- The Eiffel Tower?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Show it to me.
- Yeah, of course I will.
Maybe I should do you sometime.
Maybe.
- Definitely.
- Do you want something to drink?
- Lemonade, please.
- Lemonade. And you?
I'm gonna stay off the fizzies, I reckon.
Can I just have a...a still water, please?
- No ice.
- OK.
Cheers.
You're not a painter.
She's so fit...
I am. I am!
- No!
- I've got loads of paintings, loads!
- Show me one.
- Well, I ain't got my bag, have l?
- Mm-hm.
- Hm.
Of course.
Oh, come on, someone sit down.
We've been sat around
for four and a half hours!
Oh, come on, it's getting cold now,
- can we not just call it a day?
- No, it's not!
Can we not just call it a day?
- No.
- Tomo, shut up, please!
You shut up.
Right. So you're saying the guy who dropped
it off has definitely gone, he's not here?
Yeah.
So, which way did he go?
That way.
So, he went that way,
we'll go that way, yeah?
- OK.
- So, I'm just gonna go in,
cool, natural, and just be myself,
and I'll just pick it up and...
Just watch and learn,
learn from the master.
Don't worry about it, I'll pull it off.
Shall I go with you, master?
What for?
I can fake heart attack
or something like this.
What d'you want to fake
an 'eart attack for?
If you just do it the way I'm gonna do it,
then it'll...it'll...it'll happen.
It's just... It's just me,
I can do everything.
So, just stay there a second, just one
minute, back in a minute. Don't move.
I'm just gonna...
just get these for...Uncle Ian.
Ian'll get these, these'll get to Ian.
Ian.
Come on, hurry up.
Come on.
Ta-da!
What's that - grandma's raincoat?
What else is in there?
A girl's blouse.
What else is in there?
Trousers.
Rupert Bear trousers!
No! What else is in there?
I want summat decent.
That's cool.
Like businessman.
Mate, you're not a businessman.
Take it off, it's not a fashion show.
I thought you said the person
who dropped the bag off looked like me.
Maybe he washes for his grandparents,
I don't know.
That's nice. Retro trousers.
There not retro, they're ridiculous!
Mate, just get my tracksuit, please.
I'm gonna be stuck in that tracksuit
for the rest of my life.
Is it dry?
Yeah.
No, it's not, it's soaked!
What the flippin' heck's that?
What you done to it?
I don't know, not me.
You've wrecked my clothes,
my only bits of clothes!
A pen!
For God's sake!
Maybe this one?
Mate, it's a dress!
Put it in your trousers.
Why are you being stupid?
Why are you finding this funny
that I've got no clothes to wear?
God's sake, grow up!
Don't be a baby!
Come back, Tomo!
Marek.
- Oi!
- What?
I've chosen
some clothes out the bag.
- Show me.
- Promise you won't laugh.
I won't.
Come on, you promised you wouldn't laugh.
Sorry. You look great.
I think I look like a female golfer.
No!
No.
Honestly, you look fine.
- What's that?
- What?
- What?
- That.
- Yeah?
- It's a wheelchair.
Yeah, it is.
- Whose do you reckon that is?
- I don't know.
Don't look like anyone's.
- Shall we go get it?
- OK.
I'll race you down.
Come on, quick!
So, d'you think she'll like it all, then?
Of course, it's flowers, umbrella and bell,
everything.
Don't worry.
I just don't want to serve him.
All right, listen, I'll say something,
but just, you know, accept the fact,
he's a bloody idiot.
Oh, God, talking of idiots.
- Go on.
- I'll see you.
All right, sweetheart.
I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Let me change the sign for you.
Thanks.
- Hello.
- I had a car crash.
- No, you haven't.
- No, you're right, I haven't.
What's this?
A special taxi for you.
- No, really?
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, door-to-door service.
But I live really far away.
- It doesn't matter.
- We don't care.
Come on, in.
Thank you very much, my darlings.
I feel very honoured.
- So, which way?
- This way.
OK.
- Let's go.
- Go, go, go!

# Low is the man, so hard are the blows
# Low, low, low
# Low... are the punches
# For you #
This is where I live.
- Yeah, which one?
- With the flowers.
- Oh.
- Up there.
Thank you so much
for taking me home, boys.
Thank you.
It's been the best day I've had
since I've come to London.
It's our pleasure.
And I love the way
you decorated my chair.
Can I have a kiss now, please?
And remember,
I love you both the same.
Bye.
See you later.
Yeah!
See you later.
- Bye.
Whoo-ha!
Tomo, hurry up.
- What?
- We have no time.
What d'you want?
- What?
- Hurry up.
- Why?
- My dad will be back soon.
Why? Your dad's just gone to work.
He only gone to the shop.
- Just two minutes.
- He will catch you!
- Just two minutes.
- No, I'm coming.
Oh!
Tomo, what are doing?
I'm lonely.
Ow!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Who is it?
It's Tomo and Marek.
- Who?
- Tomo and Marek!
Hurry up.
Oh, what's wrong, boys?
What?
Do you know what time it is?
It's seven o'clock in the morning!
- So?
- What do you mean, so?
This is the middle of the night for me.
So, here, we've brought you some stuff.
What about that?
We brought you some clothes.
I don't want none of your stuff!
You woke me up
at seven o'clock in the morning
to bring me this load of old rubbish.
Are you mad?
We brought you some clothes.
Do you want to buy 'em?
That's bird's dresses, I don't want that!
What would I want that for?
You can sell 'em.
You can sell it all.
- You can sell it all.
- Wait a minute.
Retro trousers.
You can sell 'em all.
I'll give you a fiver for the suit.
We're selling it all together.
- What?
- You must buy all.
I don't want all of it.
All I want is this.
Well, you can resell it on the market.
So, how much d'you want for all of it?
Twenty-five, twenty quid?
Twenty-five qui...
Why's... Eurgh!
Now, piss off
and let me get back to bed, you.
Seven o'clock in the morning!
I don't know what...
Vin! Come on!
We got everything -
bread, wine, grapes, cheese, onions?
- Yeah.
- Things to sit on.
It's gonna be ace, this.
So, just let me do all the talking,
cos I'm better than you at it.
- OK. Hello.
- Hello, lads.
Where's Maria?
I'm afraid she ain't in today.
She told us that she was gonna be in.
No, she had to go home.
One of her family's sick or something.
No problem, we go and find her.
No, no, lads, not here home,
Paris home.
- Where?
- France.
She didn't tell us.
- When did she go?
- This morning.
Don't worry, there'll be another
little bird here next week.
Not like Maria.
What about all these things for her?
I...I don't know, I don't care.
Do what you want with it.
And remember,
I love you both the same.
Yeah, right! What a crock!
It's really annoying that we spent a lot
of money on all this food and that.
On the cheese and bread and grapes.
She didn't even have the decency
to tell us she was going.
OK, give me a bottle.
You've had loads.
Please.
There's only half a bottle left,
I've only had like two swigs.
- Please.
- Don't have loads, then.
Thank you.
By the way, have you ever drunk...
have you ever drunk before?
- No.
- You've had like two swigs
and you're all over the shop.
You don't even know what you're saying.
Look at you.
What you staring at?
You're out of your head.
Why did anything good
never happen to me?
Oh, stop crying and don't be big baby.
I'm not crying and I'm not a big baby, am I?
It's called love, son.
You don't love her more than me.
Well, obviously I do!
You've got long hair and a stupid accent.
You've got stupid clothes.
- So?
- So.
I can just go nick some from a shop.
You can't change the way you speak.
Anyway, let's not fall out over a girl.
How much money have we got?
I don't know. Ten pounds.
That's all.
Just a tenner?
OK.
Right, then, let's forget about Maria.
Get wasted.
No!
You look like a German!
It's mine!
Yeah! Ah-ha!
Let's turn this up a bit.
Whoo!
Ah-oo!
Three, two, one, go!
Ha! Ah-ah!
Hoo!
He's turned the music off.
- Tomo!
- Is this your dad?
I think so.
All right, mate?
What?
What?
Any chance of a trans...
What?
What?
- I don't know who are you.
- I'm Tomo.
But, but...
Please.
I want, put on your clothes and leave.
- Yeah, mate.
- At once.
I'll put them on, I'll take myself out.
Hey, out!
- Please, please!
- Out!
Out!
Oh!
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello.
- Where am I?
- Barbados.
Cup of tea there.
Oh!
Do you remember what 'appened last night?
It's nice, this. Great cooking.
Good.
Banging headache.
Look, why don't you just go home, son?
You're gonna get yourself into all sorts
of trouble if you stay down here.
- You know that, don't you?
- Well, I can't go home and I like it here.
What d'you mean, you can't go 'ome?
If it's money,
I'll lend you the money to get 'ome.
It's not money.
I've just got nothing to go home to.
- What, no 'ome?
- No.
- No relatives or nothing?
- No.
Well, look, you can stay 'ere
for a bit, right,
but you're gonna 'ave to 'elp me out.
I mean, when I say "Jump",
you're gonna say "How high?"
Yeah?
Help me out, do whatever I say,
whatever I tell you to do.
- Yeah?
- Yeah. Not in like a sexual way or summat.
Sex? No! Sexual way?
What you talking about?
No, not a sexual way!
- Mm-hm.
- Mm-hm.
Hm.
OK.
Ohh!
- Lovely day, innit?
- Yeah.
Mm. The sun's shining.
Look at that station, it's amazing.
It's very huge.
Massive.
Maybe,
like one weekend, we could
save up some money.
Go... Obviously because we're not even
two minutes away from the station,
just get on the train and just go,
for a weekend.
Can you imagine that, just us two?
OK.
If you want, I can ask my dad
to get us cheaper tickets.
He works there.
Really?
Cool, definitely.
It'd be fun, wouldn't it?
It'd just be like a bit of a road trip
between me and you.
Like, just best mates going to Paris.
See the Eiffel Tower,
eat croissants, drink red wine,
cheese, bread.
It'd be good.
Just see Maria
and just have a laugh with her,
Iike we did the other day.
I mean, it wouldn't be hard to find her.
I mean, she's a beautiful girl.
Yeah, she is.
Yeah.
And she must be popular in Paris.
So... I just hope she ain't got a boyfriend.
Anyway...
I'm gonna get back to
the head polishing.
Polish.
Good old Brasso.
Yeah.
- What you gonna do?
- I am staying here.
- You'll stay here?
- Yeah.
All right, then, mate, well, I'll
maybe come down in a bit
we'll go over to the park or just...
- OK.
...just go out for a bit, yeah?
All right, I'll see you in a bit, mate.
- See you later.
- See you later.
# They said the hand of God
delivered the blow
# But all that I know
# It wasn't him that nearly killed you
# I let you down,
I never carried you home
# I left you alone
# To fend there for yourself
# I see you out sometimes
enjoying the square
# The mademoiselles
# With faces filled with sadness
# For all that you gained,
you still remember me
# When I speak
# I'll remember where I'm from
# Well, it's a long way back
to the Medway
# It's a long way back to the school
# It's a long way back to the Coliseum
# When we had faces too
# When we had faces too
# Sometimes I go back, but I never stay
# Just wasting away
# The world that we grew up in
# One day you will see me
down on the Strand
# And when you hear me speak
# You'll remember where you're from #
# Come on, open up the windows
# Yeah, I'm reeling in the heat
# You know I wanna hear
the planes flying over
# You know I wanna hear the street
# Seems like we've been here a long year
# Living here with bated breath
# You've been looking for an angle
# And I've been waiting for a death
# No, there's only a few of us left
# There's only a few of us left
# There are only a few of us left
# That I remember
# Well, we were walking through
the old town
# And I remember the place
# You were checking your reflection
# In the shop front's mirrored glass
# I saw the glory of a new love
# Oh, this pain, this restlessness
# Some days I feel better
# Oh, and some days I feel less
# There's only a few of us left
# But, oh, there's only a few of us left
# There's only a few of us left
# But we got hope #
