Cool It, Carol! (1970) - full transcript

Joe and Carol decide to leave their small village and head down to London for work. Joe fails to find any work but Janet enrolls as a fashion model. As the naive couple begin to enjoy the nightlife of London they are drawn ever deeper into a world of drink, pornography, drugs and prostitution. Their decline into the seedy side of London s nightlife takes them into swinging parties, immoral earnings and filmmaking; threatening to push them over the edge. Will the couple continue on the path of no return - or can they find a way out of their nightmare?

So that makes for what?

You got to take four for the exam.

You're not serious.

Oh, I'm serious, Joe.

Education is the only thing.

Yeah, but you're a good butcher.

Dad's shop to trade.

Oh, it's a skill, Joe. This once I've
mastered book learning, I've mastered this.

I'm away.

Oh, I've chopped my finger off.

Now.



?1 six will book it.

What are you doing tonight?

I'll book it right. Listen.

Oh, come on, Tom. Jessica's got work to do.

Carol. What?

Do my windscreen, would you.

Your windscreen.

Flash bastard.

He's in for a shock.

Big end. I'm getting in a lan load of su
lan.

Oh, sure.

Harry Burpless chopped his finger off.

Which one? Young one.

Black hair. How do you do it?



With this cleaver, you know.

Poor Harry. What did he say?

Oh, said that didn't scream or nothing.

Which finger? Don't know.

There you are. Five and a bit.

Sign the book.

Coming to Vanillas tonight.

Change the records.

Battle has changed.

Maybe later.

Okay.

What was Tom saying?

Who wanted his window wiped?

A fine boy. Tom.

Like his father.

Harry has chopped his finger off.

Careful. The young one.

Tom's got his eye.

On you, you know. You don't say.

How's Dad? Ever since you won that beauty
competition contest.

Ever since you won it.

Does he ever ask you out?

Yeah. Yeah, he just did.

Just now. Well, will you go?

Couldn't. Could I?

He asked me to. Ben Ali's for a coffee, but
I can't leave the garage.

Is he waiting? Suppose so.

Well, off you go and see, then.

And ask Mr. Bonelli for a thousand embassy
tipped.

Well, go on.

All right.

Let us be the making of your Carol.

And a half of buttermilk and a quarter of a
pound of cinnamon balls.

Ah, yes, balls.

Thank.

A thousand times for my mum.

Can you drop them in?

Yes, I have got them here.

Coffee, not his.

Don't believe he is Italian.

Christ, what a place.

Are on the bus to Retford. And when you get
there it's the bloody same.

I thought when I won that.

You know, beauty contest.

Well, I thought London, you know.

That's where I'm going tomorrow.

Will your mum let you?

Well, doesn't matter what she says, does it?

Job fixed up good money.

I'm off.

He's going to London tomorrow.

What for? You're a good butcher.

Motor trade showrooms.

Why not make your fortune a What's the job,
Joe?

Driving, selling sports cars, mainly.

Big firm.

London. I've the address of a film star in
London.

Is that Rod Strangeways?

You know one of the judges?

I don't know.

Was he.

Gave me his address and phone number.

Said he could help me.

It's not a film star. It's a comedian.

So I might just come with you.

What would you do in London?

Well, modelling.

Modelling?

Your mother would never let you.

You. You got to know people want these or
not.

Sure. Another late night session going
around the clubs, maybe even a private party.

What did you say his name is?

Benny Gray. Black clarinet player.

Best mate. Really?

But you've never been to London.

Really, Joe?

No, I have not been to London.

When? For the football World Cup.

And after? That's when I met him.

Benny Gray.

And that's who you're staying with?

Well, until I get a place of my own.

Benny Gray. I've never seen him on the telly.

Of course not. He's a musician.

Wish I was coming with you, Joe.

Oh, well, I'll be too busy.

Anyway, you can't just go to London with a
man your mum would never let you.

She knows you.

You're just a boy to her.

If your mum lets you, we'll see who's just a
boy.

London at your age.

I won't let you. I'm 17.

I'll be voting next year.

You're just a child.

Only a fortnight.

Joe. Look after me.

I'll bet if I wanted to have it off with
Joe, I don't need to go to London, for God's

sake. Well, I don't know.

Ask your father. No, Dad.

They're keeping you busy with.

More caskets and corpses.

What we need is a good frost.

Oh, Bessie Parkes still holding on.

Is she? Without a good thrust, You may be.

Hold on till November.

Poor Dad. Money getting tight.

What are you sucking up for?

You want something.

Dad? I want to go to London.

Just for the fortnight.

To look for a job as a model like that.

Oh, that's a young man.

Well, same sort of job.

Oh, good money, they say. Can she go?

No, not alone. Emma. I know what London's
like.

Joe is going tomorrow.

Got a job. Peggy Sickles.

Boy, you wouldn't get a job like that.

I'm going to try.

I've got an address.

One of the judges, Rod Strangeways.

Carol, I want a straight answer to a straight
question.

Yes, Dad, Is your Maidenhead intact?

Um.

As a matter of fact, No, No, it's not.

Oh.

Oh, Well, it's all right for you to go, then.

Yes. Oh, thanks, Dad.

I'll give her ?20.

It's only for a couple of weeks.

Our little girl's growing up.

Yeah.

They're going to sew it back on Harry's
finger.

Hear what he said. Oh, just said oh.

All dressed up then.

So your mother.

My mum didn't know what I was talking about.

London. You're not going, are you?

Well, they need me here, you know.

Harry's finger.

Too bad. I'm off today for four.

Five, straight through.

On your own, then.

Not the same.

Is it? Hang on.

Harry.

Mr. Burford? Yes, Len.

My holiday.

I'd like to take it now.

Maya holiday.

There's no chance of that, is there?

Well, this is what I thought, but.

Well, I really would appreciate it.

Get back to work. My boy Harry chopped off
his finger.

Don't forget that.

His mother's nearly round the bend.

They're trying to sew it back on.

I.

It fell off.

Well, can I go then? So I've talked myself
into it, you see?

You know what you are, lad?

Bloody tear away.

Harry, please. Just for a fortnight.

I want to go to London.

For Christ sake, lad.

Do you want your cards?

Oh, bloody hell. Why not?

Fed up with this dump.

Fingers flying all roads.

Get going.

Isn't it a lovely day?

You're excited?

Only a little, aren't you?

I suppose so. Don't really believe we're
going yet.

And see your mum letting you.

You got the sack, didn't you?

No. Yes.

You don't need them with a good job in
London.

Don't be upset.

Oh, my goodness.

I caught you. What is it?

Good luck, dear. And you, Joe?

Thanks, Mrs. Thatcher.

Here's some sandwiches for the train.

Get mounted up. You hungry?

Bye, Mum. Bye.

Oh, what fun it is, too, dear.

Don't forget to write.

No, Mom. Bye.

Have a lovely time.

Thank you.

On our way then.

It's groovy to take me with you, Joe.

Groovy. Cruising.

To.

That's all right. I'll get it.

It's all right. It's down.

Do you mind if.

I change out this dress?

No, it's.

So I want to wear my mini.

Sure. Oh, the train's practically empty.

What do you think? With or without.

What.

This silly.

Let's try it.

That's what won me the contest, I reckon.

Huh? What?

The.

Your legs aren't bad either.

I don't mind people looking at me, you know?

Oh, matter of fact, I quite enjoy it.

Go to fag.

Joe, can I have a cigarette?

Wasn't any good, was I?

What do you.

Mean, you're fine?

Well. What couldn't.

You know, Don't worry.

I'm not worried.

I enjoyed it.

No, you didn't.

Well, we know each other better now.

I think we better find a hotel.

Uh, excuse me.

Could you?

Way to mate.

Do you know a good hotel near the middle of
London?

Oh, Benny Grey. Well, can't just burst in on
him, can we?

Come on, sonny.

Look, a hotel near the.

Quite, quite cheap.

Money for the fare.

Money for the fare. Just asking.

Where's the light switch?

Oh. Hey.

Oh, it's lovely.

Lucky to get a quiet part.

What are you doing?

Hanging from the lamp, shouting Tarzan.

Does it look like. I mean, don't.

Unpack the lot?

Why not? If we're going to Benny Gray's the
swinging trumpeter.

Clarinetist. He's a clarinetist.

I can't get my suit crushed.

Oh, Joe, I'm so excited.

Let's go out.

Come on.

This is London.

It's like bloody Julie Andrews.

God never going to stop.

To Carol. What?

This is terrific.

Is this. It's a stay here quite yet.

Where to go. Making drives happy?

Yeah. Whereabouts in the King's Road?

Great.

I told her not to bother bringing him round.

I should think not. Dear Liberty takers.

Joe, look. And Sonya, my dear, is being
bloody impossible.

Oh, she suits it, don't you think?

Do you want to try them on, dear?

Oh, can I. Round there.

Can we do something for you?

No. No, thanks.

Nice choir boy.

Extravaganza in white.

Very fetching. Want to try it on?

I'd love to, but I can't afford it.

It's very nice of you. What a.

Well-mannered boy.

Barry. Piss off with that thing.

You take off that butch tie and try this on.

No, dear, not like that.

Like this.

There.

Well, it's a start.

Keep it on, sunshine.

Compliments of Roger and Barry.

Joe. Very nice.

Well, I must be off.

Good night, Major. See you, dear.

Fat pig suit.

You love it. I want to keep it on.

I knew you would. ?7.

Ten, if you please. I thank you.

Doesn't he look sweet in his new scarf?

La la la la la la la la la la la la.

In London, people.

Now.

Just a minute. You went through the card.

I couldn't wait for the order.

You gave a great performance.

What's your hurry? Oh, no, my dear chap.

Come in. Yes, of course.

How nice to see you.

Oh, John.

Two. Two whiskeys, please.

Large or small? Large?

Yes. And two Scotch and Cokes.

Down to Paul McCartney here.

Yes. Whatever these two gentlemen are
drinking.

What do you.

Do? I'm.

We just.

She's a beauty queen.

And a model.

A model? Well, well, well.

And what do you do? Car sales, showroom
driving Mjc's Thunderbirds, mechanical

adviser.

Very interesting.

Great responsibility, I suppose.

Responsibility. Long hours.

Here's your drink. Sometimes drive to Paris.

Paris?

Joe?

Well, not me personally. No, not Paris.

Je suis, though. Up the motorway, I'm
drinking to the freckle.

Beside your lower lip.

It's not a freckle.

It's always been there.

So. Thanks for the drinks.

I'll turn next time.

Don't worry. Got your car here?

Car. Do you want a lift home?

Nice idea. Fancy.

Come to a party. Party?

No, thanks.

Joe's got an early start tomorrow.

Where do you live?

Russell Square. Hop in.

We'll take you there.

And she sees that.

Benny Gray. Watt.

Benny Gray. You didn't phone Bennie O.

Bennie Gray. Well, it's a bit late now.

Late?

Thought it was a swinger.

A hip jazz trumpet player.

Jonathan Terry. We're going to a party.

It's not like hokum here.

It's not like the village.

It's not late, but it's early.

He'll be working just now.

Out on a gig.

What time do you start at the Carr Place?

Oh, first day.

Just during the morning, they said.

Where did you say it was?

Uh, got it written down somewhere.

It's up west.

I think I did enjoy tonight.

Did we spend an awful lot?

Mm. Too damn much.

Still, they're taking us out tomorrow night.

Joe.

What time do you want? Awakened.

It is comfortable.

Yes. And easy to sit in to and to sit in to.

Yes.

I like it.

Shan Harshaw.

Yes, I take that one, too.

Thank you, Sandy. Oh, please excuse me.

Can I help you?

Well, you're terribly busy.

I'll come back. Oh, it's all right.

I'm not too busy. What is it?

So I'm afraid it's quite.

Out of the question.

We only take showroom personnel on the
highest recommendation from other showrooms.

So what would you suggest?

Suggest?

Well, how did you get started?

Oh, I see. Well, when I left the commandos in
46, I went up to Oxford to study divinity.

During the long walk, I bumped into Old
Victor.

Same year at Mulberry, you know.

And here I am.

That's bloody ridiculous.

Good day.

And that only left the finals.

And I just happened to win.

The judges had good taste.

Rod Strangeways. He was one of the judges.

Look.

Carole. Is he. Carole?

Yes.

You know, you.

Can't start in a place like this.

Not just like that.

Yes, I know.

You're a good looking girl, intelligent and
very young, which is a good thing.

You might make a good photographic model.

Honestly.

Honestly, You have that look.

I've seen it before.

I had it once, if you please.

Of course. Forgive me.

See what I mean?

Look, go to this address.

Have you time?

Yes. Yes.

Go to this address and see Larry McCallum.

I'll phone him as well.

Oh, madam, thank you.

Really? Thank you.

Don't let Larry's manner put you off.

Good luck.

Good luck. I do not want a dress which shows
my tits.

Your boss in? Good morning.

Morning.

Want to buy a car?

No. Actually, I was looking for a job.

Forget it.

That's all they're paying down.

I'm fully aware of your rate.

Well, look it up, then.

Well, get it.

I can't think why Yvonne sent you to see me.

That's right, dear. Between 3 and 5 tomorrow
afternoon.

Bye. I can't handle you myself.

You're no good for fashion.

Too short? Yes.

Yes. All right. Angela, I've been trying to
get hold of you all morning.

Well, then kindly leave a number.

Would you mind doing Corsetry swimwear?

No, I won the Are not double booked.

Ask what? To see her, will you?

Well, you better get round there straight
away.

But where do you think?

Well, I've got a pen. A photograph.

Jerry Sylvester Studios.

Holborn Viaduct.

Oh, for God's sake, Angela.

Not again. You are.

You are late. Carol Thatcher.

Larry is taking you on.

Mr. Mapplethorpe said swimwear.

Of course. It's my department.

Photograph? Yes.

Have you any photographs?

Do I need photographs?

Of course. Clients want to know what you
look like.

Your face and your figure.

Oh, you've been late, girl.

You've been late. Yes, late.

Late. Well, I expect you round at Jerry
Sylvester's place at 3:00, as I told you.

Look, please, dear, just do as I say.

Jesus Christ. All right.

Well, we'll leave it at that.

What is this? No photographs.

Uh, tell her to get some photographs.

I can't do anything without photographs.

I'd love to give you a job now, wouldn't I?

Well, thanks anyway.

Joe. How'd you get on?

Great.

Just fine.

Are they nice? They are, aren't they?

I like Londoners.

Well, they didn't turn up.

Then, did they? Too bad.

What's wrong with you? It's not a disaster.

Did they let you drive today?

Drive? Not first day?

No. Oh.

Phone Benny Gray and we'll see.

You know, perhaps we can go out on the town.

Can't afford to go out in a bloody town, can
we?

Oh, don't worry.

It'll soon be payday.

Hey then. Okay.

Let's go.

We thought you weren't coming.

We had to pick up Deirdre.

She's a tease. How's the motor trade?

Off to Brussels next month.

Brussels trade fair.

I thought that was in August.

Supplementary.

Place your bets. Okay.

It's all right. He's with us.

Place your bets. Joe.

Mm. Thanks. Champagne?

Sort of.

Did we take Joe over to Costa's table?

Costa will let you play Joe, but it's
strictly Cash roulette.

You can't play roulette, Joe.

It's stupid. Of course I can.

Of course.

He can. Of course he can.

Come on, Joe. It's fun looking.

His hair was dark brown.

He came in.

How about it then, Carol?

What a little bit of fun.

Carol, That's all. What sort of fun?

Come on now, Carol.

You a model? Let's have a look.

What? Out? Little bit of fun, that's all.

Joe. With Deirdre, he'll get it away.

All right. That's for sure.

She moves like a Swiss watch.

What do you mean.

Carol? A sort of party.

Did you think this was. We thought you knew,
Carol.

You a model? What do you think?

Tea.

With or without?

Model.

Without. Is he right?

I don't know what you mean.

Let's have a look then, shall we?

Keep perfectly still.

You're trembling. You're not struggling.

Why? Just a bit of fun, that's all.

Well, get on with your silly game With.

Red scarlet.

Everyone's doing without even the Prime
Minister.

Jonathan. My

trembling.

That's bullshit. Please.

Place your bets.

Winning. Oh, Jonathan.

I'm Terry. Jonathan's.

Jonathan's. How much are you Winning?

Winning? Nothing.

We'll give it a miss then. No point in losing
the lot.

No more bets.

29. Black.

I've got one there.

That's the last of my money.

I mean, tonight.

You murder people. I don't know where you get
the money.

Just had an offer from Bristol's.

May I go and work there?

Bristol's doing what?

Place your bets. I'm getting out of here.

What's the matter, Joe? Nothing.

Why have you walked all the.

Way from Park Street?

My feet are killing me.

Thank you, sir. Moody. Did you have any luck
with Deirdre?

What? I've lost them money.

Money. I've got them bloody lost it.

Well, let's go back and look for it.

Lost it, you silly cow.

Oh, Joe, you didn't gamble it.

Come on.

I've got 34, Bob.

Bloody hell. You had ?10 this morning.

I had to get my make makeup, didn't I?

Make up eight flaming quid make up.

It's the Professional Models Kit by Helena
Rubenstein.

Don't you get on today. Get on all right.

I think so. I've got to make an appointment
with a photographer before tomorrow.

But I haven't any money now, have I?

That's what the idea was for them to pay.

You got to have photos first.

Without photographs, you can't do anything.

Mr. McKillop of the Elite Model Agency.

Yes. Not for three weeks.

No, no, that's all right.

Thanks anyway.

Joe. They're all booked up.

I've been on the phone for an hour.

Put a red ring around your ear.

I've got three more to phone.

Hey, what about your job, huh?

Have you forgotten? Oh, Christ.

Go on, hurry up.

If you lose that, we're in dead trouble.

Don't have a job.

Never had such a bloody fool.

Bring you up here telling you that all those
lies.

I knew. I knew all along.

Silly ass.

What? I knew you didn't have a job.

This one can take me if I go now.

Great.

Where are we going? We?

You go and get yourself a bloody job, boy.

Otherwise, we can't afford to eat.

Think of that. You'll starve.

See you back at the hotel.

And how's Tommy?

Hung over.

This young lady.

Get up now. Good.

This young lady is here to have her pictures
taken.

With the right hand.

Good. Good.

Damn it.

Okay. Call it a day.

Let's see.

Yes. Oh, that's right.

I'll be there. 5:00.

Goodbye. So you.

You want a city?

Yes, please. For Mr.

McKillop.

25 guineas.

Get a choice of 50.

67. Finished 10/8.

Okay.

Okay. I.

I hope you don't mind in advance.

I make it a rule.

I've been caught too often.

Oh, well, come now.

Nobody works for nothing, do they?

I. I'd like to help you, but, Laszlo.

Maybe Tommy could help her.

Tommy is. Samantha's a good photographer.

If he can use her as well.

Got an hour to spare.

Come and meet Tommy.

Make yourself at home.

Sam? Yes.

Been working?

No.

Giving myself shocks on these things.

They work. Okay.

Hey, Scott. An orange. How about you?

Thanks. This is Carol Thatcher.

Hi. Wants to model, needs pictures.

Of course.

Composites as well.

Got an agent.

Larry Mapplethorpe.

Oh, good man. You don't look like high
fashion.

I'm going to do photographic swimwear.

Corsets, huh?

You seen any of my stuff?

Yeah. Send a ten pages.

They're very good.

Nice color.

She's pretty.

So are you.

With those sort of pictures bother you?

Not really. Why?

Just an idea.

Mayfair pay 150.

For that girl of the month.

150. You mean me?

Hey, hold your horses.

I'd have to do some test.

Shots first to show to the picture's editor.

I could run you off a set for your own.

Use as well.

Some modeling ones.

How about it?

Well, it's up to you, Carol.

You run my pictures first.

Last couple. Great.

Now, same as before.

Oh, super. Groovy.

Thanks, Carol. That was great.

Here we are. When will they be ready?

When can I see them?

Think about Tuesday. Tuesday.

And I'm on location tomorrow.

Pinewood Friday.

I could DMP over the weekend.

Say, Monday night.

Hey, don't worry.

They were absolutely marvelous.

Look, you go off and get changed quickly.

Okay. Super.

She photographs as well as she works.

We'll make Playboy with that chick.

She'll get 1000 for that.

So will we.

Have you told her?

Of course. Thanks, Sam.

I think she's a winner.

Hi. How did you get on?

Get a job. Job?

Sure. I got a job.

Thank God. What doing?

What about you?

Well, found a photographer.

Tommy.

Something for nothing.

He's going to try and sell them to Mayfair.

Maybe Playboy.

Well, I hope he paid you.

Oh, come off it. Joe is doing me a favor.

If the picture editors like them, well, I
can make hundreds.

What's this? My job.

District Bank.

Pall Mall. What is this?

It's my new job. Robbing a bank.

You're mad, Joe.

You're crazy.

What the hell are you playing at?

Look, I haven't eaten since last night.

London's wide open.

I've spent all day watching that bank, and
it's a good, simple plan.

I'll need a car and you to act as decoy.

When will you know about the photographs?

Tuesday.

I hope you do, too. Then you better go home
while you still got the ticket.

I'm staying. Someone's got to keep an eye on
you.

In the meantime, how do we eat?

Should have got that Jonathan to pay you a
tenner.

Hey, that's my sausage roll.

Sorry, love. It's just can't go back.

I haven't a penny.

I literally haven't a penny.

Go to sleep.

Go back to bed.

Feeling great about Jonathan.

Course not.

Just wanted.

Have we enough to pay this place?

Joe. Why didn't you bring pajamas?

I forgot.

Sorry, Carol.

Feel I'm exhausted.

We must have walked, Miles.

Maybe we shouldn't wear our shoes.

Jesus, I'm hungry.

How about only way for then?

How long is it since we've eaten?

Last night? About 12.

18 hours.

18 hours.

Then that was half a bloody sausage roll.

We must get some money.

Sure you don't want to go back?

It's only a week, Joe.

These voters might get us ?1,000.

These are photos.

What are they?

Are you naked.

In some of them? The question is, how can we
get some cash without robbing your stupid

bank?

Why are we so angry?

When? When I said about Jonathan last night.

Well, it's not nice, is it?

What? That's not nice.

Screwing for money.

It offered you money, would you take it?

Yes. Yes, I would.

Has be a very sexy thing.

What? Well, a strange man.

And he pays you money. Never see him again.

Kinky. Really?

Turns you on.

Was thinking of an easy way to earn a few
quid.

This is where they do it. Do what?

Pick up the men on the game, you mean.

Yeah. Me and Benny Gray used to pick him up
here.

He had a Pontiac convertible bar.

Hood? Joe.

Are you trying to ask me something?

Such as? Well, it's better than robbing
banks.

No, don't be daft.

It's only a FAQ. I just can't believe people
pay good money for it.

Go on, Go on.

Ask someone. Just for a laugh.

Just to see what they say.

Just for a laugh.

And would you, um.

Would you like to go to bed with me?

Use me.

Joe. I can't.

Hey.

Bit young, aren't you?

It'll cost you. Get him.

Just a minute.

My friend comes to.

Make yourself at home.

I don't want an exhibition, you know?

?5. Okay.

Sure.

Of course. I'm happily married, you know.

Just can't get enough of it.

Uh oh.

Ha ha ha.

Huh? Huh?

Huh?

I've made some tea.

Milk.

I couldn't find any biscuits.

Oh.

All right for tomorrow, then.

What time?

Same time.

Outside the Chelsea drugstore.

I'll. I'll get some biscuits.

These two characters would like the same
service.

Okay. And there'll be two more coming up
later on.

That's ?2,025.

Just this once.

After you.

They basically when you come out for cash.

Silly old sod.

Oh, cool.

Uh oh.

What? Oh.

Speedy Gonzalez.

My God.

After you, Claude.

Get dressed.

Come here.

I'm then. Let yourself out.

The. These men, they gave me the money.

I'm taking a cut.

After all, I go through the business.

Same time tomorrow. Then.

What's the matter, poets?

Not enough jam on your bread.

Smash the place up if you want to.

Belongs to the estate agent anyway.

Carol. What?

Carol.

I didn't want this. I didn't mean to.

I don't ever want to do that again.

Could have gone home and leave you without
any money.

No place to go.

Carol. I love you, Carol.

These men. What they did to you.

Two scotches, please.

With coke. Large one, sir.

Sure.

Joe. These are all strange ways.

Here we are, sir.

27 to ninepence.

20. Get the coke.

They wouldn't give me another makeup man, so
I quit.

So I'm off television now till the end of
the year.

Who needs them? Mr.

Strangeways. Yeah.

I'm sure you don't remember me.

Don't tell me.

Carol Thatcher. The beauty contest.

Refresh my memory.

I took him county last August.

Carol Thatcher. Oh, of course.

What are you doing up here, baby?

Modelling. She's a model.

This is Joe Sickles, my manager.

Oh.

He's pleased to meet old friends.

Meet my agent, Pete Drummond.

All right. Sit down, Carol.

No. 17.

I. Oh, I've seen you on the.

Telly twice since then.

Twice? Well.

Well, I tried to phone you when I got up.

Jim got through to Al Parker, didn't he?

Oh, am I thirsty?

Thank you, friend.

I can't complain. You see, you'd have me up
before the race relations board, huh?

Oh, let's have a big bottle of champagne.

A magnum of champagne.

This is on me. Say, Benny.

Benny Gray. That's me.

Joe. It's Benny Gray.

Oh, Benny, I've heard so much about you.

I've just been trying to get in touch with
you all week.

You must have wondered what had happened to
him.

Who's this guy? How are you doing, Joe?

Fine.

Just fine. Hey, I had my phone number
changed, you know?

Oh.

Thanks, Benny.

Oh, my God.

How much is that?

?14. Ten, sir.

How much? ?14.

Ten.

Well, hold on. I've got another round coming.

Oh, that's all right. That's all right.

Hey, y'all. Thank you. Thanks very much.

Tell me, are you broke?

Just for tonight.

You know that Carol is a lovely girl.

Are you getting her enough work?

Yes, yes, Yes.

Why did the chicken cross the street?

Guard you got there, Joe? Hey, honey, you
look hot.

Why don't you go for a swim?

I'd love to, but what can I wear?

Go in there altogether.

Oh, ignore my friend.

Bras and panties will be okay.

Really? Well, sure.

No.

19.

Philip Stanton.

Who's that at the bar?

He's bad news. Forget it.

Let's have some more bubbly.

Sure.

I'll see what he wants.

Who's your friend? That's Benny Grey, the
sax player and friends for ages.

I mean, the girl.

Oh, that's Carol. She's.

Count. This is Philip Stanton.

He wants to shoot some film of us.

Great. When? Now, if you like.

Here. Well, no, it's on.

On location.

What exactly is this film?

Just a little short.

What about Carol?

You never heard anything like it. He's going
to pay a ?60 each.

60? ?60.

I saw you in the bathing pool, and I thought
you were just right for the parts.

What exactly do we have to do?

Depends how badly you need the money.

Do you want us? Do you want us to pretend to
make love?

That's ?60 each.

Oh.

It's the real thing.

That's right. It's the real thing.

Okay.

Just a minute.

Joe, do you know what he wants us to do?

Sure. Explained it all to me.

Just you and me. Sort of artistic, you know?

It seems. I don't know.

You're crazy. Hundreds of people started like
this.

So where you act in front of the cameras
that interest the professionals.

They don't care about your screwing Joe.

Anyway, we're skint.

Oh, Joe.

Come on, then.

This is the bed here.

Yes. Come on. Do you have make up?

I see you wearing stockings.

No. Put these on then.

Joe.

Come on.

Okay, Susan, This is where it all comes off.

Play with sickles and you're playing with
fire.

This could turn into something quite big.

Hello?

Simon here.

Money for tonight's show.

Get lost. Sickles is busy.

What other things might happen as well.

A really big time.

Joe Buck.

Come on.

Lad. Get your drawers off.

Do I have to? You'll find it bloody
difficult if you keep them on.

When you're ready. On the contrary.

When you're ready.

Come on, Come on.

Get a move on.

Shh. Relax.

Think of this afternoon.

Ignore them.

That's fine.

Great. Left a bit.

Carol. Raise the knee.

Lovely. Good.

That's marvellous. That's marvellous.

Yes, but not too fast.

Pair of beauties. Steady.

Steady. Whoa, whoa.

That's it. That's marvellous.

Yes, but not too fast.

Now, Carol, lift your leg.

Lift your leg.

That's right. That's it.

Slow. Slow down.

Steady, steady.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stop. Got 30ft left yet?

Stop. Right.

Half time change round.

Steady.

That's fine. Fine.

That's bloody marvellous. But so.

Slow down. Slow down.

That's it. That's it. Now make it last.

Make it last. Lift your leg, Carol.

Lift your leg to the left.

That's it. That's it.

Now make it last. Head left, Carol.

Smooth. Smooth.

Raise the knee. Now make it last.

Carol, That's a good girl. That's a good
girl.

Oh, Morris. Marvellous.

Very good.

Attaboy. Hey, get off.

Come on.

You've ruined the whole bloody thing.

Get off! Come.

Thank you. Up.

Joe. Not bad, is it?

You can have Benny and Rod Strangeways round
for drinks now.

Of course. We should have moved in here
right from the start.

What would we have used for money, Joe?

What? Oh, nothing.

I feel bad about last night.

That's very quick for you.

Listen, love. Don't even think about it.

I don't feel ashamed or anything.

It's just. I always thought it was harder to
make money.

You know what you are, don't you?

Puritan.

Hello. Thatcher.

Carol Thatcher?

Yeah, she is.

It's Tommy. How do you get your number?

Hello. Hello, Carol.

Great news.

Oh, yes, yes, she's fine. Thanks.

Listen, I've got a job for you this morning.

Can you make it? No, not Mayfair.

Super fashion job.

A wedding dress.

Great. Fantastic.

Super. Right now.

Same again. And at this time, stepping down.

All right. Down.

Marvelous. Right now, Carol.

More or less the same thing.

I want you a little bit bent.

That's right. Bend over now as they are
going to toss a posy.

Lovely.

Right. Magic.

Hello, thing.

Hello, Fruit. It's the girl.

Carol Thatcher.

No, seriously.

Excuse me. Now, Carol.

Back to the wall a bit.

Mind it, Celia.

Bad Morning.

My name is David Singh.

Mine's Carol Thatcher.

Yeah.

We can change that.

David. You'll work for me this afternoon?

154 hours work and the prestige of working
with Mr.

Thing.

I'm a bit busy. Could you busy.

Cattle, please?

Joe?

Speak to my manager.

Speak to my manager, Joe.

David, Think what?

May we get on with some work, please?

This way, gentlemen.

Well, four hours at 40 an hour.

I make you just ?10 out.

All right, then. 160.

What do you say, Carol?

160. It's a deal.

When do you want her? This afternoon.

Out. How about tomorrow?

Should we meet Mara? That'll be 160 now.

Nudes. Is that wise?

She's unknown. She's got it, though.

Yeah, well, that's why we want.

Her in it, though. Actually, Joe, I'd like to
sign Carol up with you as her manager.

Of course. Of course.

Where did you find her? Fruit.

Samantha.

Oh, hold on, Joe.

Excuse me. What is it?

It's Philip Stanton.

What does he want?

You'd better speak.

Hello. What is it?

Hello, Joe. I've got another job for your
Carol.

Well, we're not interested.

I thought it was a very good performance you
put up the other night.

Yes. I've just seen the rushes.

What do you want? Well, actually, I'm doing
you both a favour.

It's ?500 for one night's work.

What? Oh, no, no, not you, Carol.

Alone and no filming.

Yeah. No, no.

She has to be very nice to.

To an Arab sheikh.

Just a minute.

Did he tell you? ?500?

But it's a wog.

It's a She probably went to Eton.

Oh, Joe, we're already getting two lots of
160.

Won't that be enough?

Joe, Look, you want this modeling thing to
work for you to work well for you.

You know I do.

Well, another 500 could really set us up.

Us? You and me.

I'm your manager.

Oh, I don't know.

Look, it's not like the Battersea job.

That was horrible. But as chic.

Quite romantic, really.

Okay. Just this once.

Where? Well, it's a very big hotel.

It's rather complicated, the whole thing.

You see, he has six wives and 18 concubines,
and they're all madly jealous.

So he's arranged to meet Carol at the side
door.

And this is the plan?

Oh.

What floor are we on?

Oh, Joe. Back with us.

How about dinner this evening?

Discuss the contract.

We're busy tonight.

I think she's a very attractive girl.

I mean, the most essential.

My wife should know that you can look in
that book, see if she can handle.

Where she is. Gavin Roberts.

Gavin Robinson. Yeah.

Yes. Wait a minute. Come here.

Stand it. I leave the New Mexico.

On Tuesday, I want to get ahold of this
chick.

I told you three hours, baby.

She turns me off.

Really? Yes or no?

Desperately need her to model this year.

For goodness sake. Who found her?

All right. But I did.

Now, come on. Have a straight away.

All right. 400.

Wonderful. Yes. Tremendous.

Yes. Come on, Staten.

You can do better than that.

You can do better than that.

You can. Let me have her. Let me have her
tonight.

Okay. Okay. So what's a few bucks?

Nobody. Nobody's gone there.

Don't be stupid. The Midlands.

I'll put the cases in the bedroom, sir.

What?

Oh, thanks. Thanks very much.

Will you be needing the car again tonight,
sir?

No, not tonight.

About lunchtime tomorrow.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, that's all right.

Joe can afford it.

The rate you're earning, we can have it
redecorated.

Get rid of all this old fashioned stuff.

Make it more like Tommy's place.

How much is this place?

Oh, hello.

Good afternoon. I'm Mrs. Fraser.

The catering company for the party?

Yes, sir. If you'll let me know how many
you're expecting, I'll get Mr.

Fraser on to the job right away.

Right.

Typekit.

Rod Strangeways is the real joker.

Rod Strangeways. Is he here?

My dear girl. Everyone's here.

By the way, have you heard his chicken joke?

It's written.

And I can't believe all this has happened for
you.

I'm so pleased for you, my dear.

Just a little bit of luck.

A bit here and there. You're not kidding.

You know, I don't care about helping them.

Well, my dear, I had no idea you lived so
close.

My wife and I are just around the corner.

How fortunate for periods of mutual
relaxation.

Yes. Excuse me.

Oh, Prince.

Charming, isn't he?

Like him. Double spit.

Wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it.

Seen what? Like a fellow in the shop last
month.

So, butch.

Well, that's Barry's trouble.

Now. He's very big in the government.

You must be very discreet.

I've arranged Monday and Wednesday evening.

All night. But he tired easily has a bad
heart.

I don't know. It's such a commitment.

It's 400 a week.

Last at last.

So the Irishman opened the envelope and the
instructions read.

Don't forget to feed the monkey.

Here's Carol. Oh, hiya, princess.

How's it going? Oh, fine, Rod.

We're working quite hard just now.

So I hear. I'm going to grab a bite.

Oh, try it, Kenny. Hey, Rod.

Hey. Nice champagne, Mum.

I won't say a word.

There's Terry and Jonathan.

Oh. Jonathan.

Hello, Carol. Oh, Jonathan.

Jonathan.

Oh, hi, Carol.

I. Enjoying the.

Party. I always find these parties amusing.

These people. Sad, really?

You think money can buy anything?

Perhaps they're right.

I saw you on television the other night.

You did? Very good.

Very funny. Singing.

You want to know something? Yeah.

1030. 38.5.

1030. 30. 300.

Yeah. 350.

Oh.

He was.

Oh, what a night.

That was only the beginning.

But the 2000s worth of business last night
you booked for the next five weeks.

What?

Doing this and that.

How much of that?

Oh, there's a bit of muddling.

Took on the cabinet minister and two others
on a long term basis.

Regular customers.

More respectable, isn't it?

It is. Really?

Is that all we've got?

No. There's another six bottles in the
fridge.

Money, I mean.

Oh.

Well, expensive party.

Wasn't it worth it, though?

Look at all these bookings.

2000 quid's worth.

You're in the top bracket now, you know.

We can afford almost anything next month.

Let's take a rest trip to Paris.

Joe. Are you happy?

I mean, is this what you always wanted?

No. Let's go home.

What time do you pack up tonight, Carol?

As if you care, boy.

I do care.

Can I pick you up?

Nice car this time.

Don't go scratching it now.

As if you can.

True. He got into a fight.

With Yul Brynner. When you were in London
with him that time?

I would know. I hardly saw him when I was up
there.

See you tonight, then.

I can't. I'm helping my mum.

Morning, Carol.

Busy. Always busy.

No, Harry. You are going out with Tom
Pender, then?

What's it to you? You're not a manager, are
you?

No.

Can be sure of that.
