...central park.



Yeah.

It's down there,
isn't it?

It's down there, i think.

Let me see, uh, what it says.
What's it say?

What's this say?
Um, peggy street, um.

Miss...miss
wil-Wilkinson.

Oh. Mr. Cleg,
i presume.

I'm mrs. Wilkinson.

Come in.
We've been expecting you.

Wait here, mr. Cleg,
while i fetch me keys.

Good evening to you, sir.

You're familiar with the scorpion,
i take it?

No. No.

Not from africa, then?

I had you down
as an old africa hand.

No.

Africa.

Now, there's
a dark continent for you.

I knew a man once
who had been told,

Never to go barefoot
because of the...

Scorpion.

Gettin' acquainted
with the residents, mr. Cleg?

Good. This is terrence.

But i'm afraid we are
not to be trusted.

Are we, terrence?
Now...

Let's get you upstairs

And out of those
wet things.

Got out of bed
in the middle of the night,

Put his shoes on...

Put his shoes on,

Stung by a scorpion,

Sleeping in one
of the toe caps.

Died in agony.

17 hours.

Oh.

Take these, mr. Cleg.

Come on.

Your room, mr. Cleg.

What, not undressed yet?

Here.

Very well then, mr. Cleg.

I'll leave you
to your own devices.

Kitchener street.

Spleen street.

Omdurman close.

The allotments

By the railway...
by the railway...

And down the canal.

And down the canal.

Kitchener street.

My mum.

Wakey, wakey, mr. Cleg.

Not in bed, please.

I trust you slept well, sir.

Uh, the bedding
in this house

Has a curious, uh...
character.

But one does grow...

Used to it after
just a few years.

I...i...i will not...

I will not be here
that long.

Nor did i expect
to be, but...

It is a loud world,

And this is an island.

But an island, sir,

Ruled by a tyrant queen,

Who has the power to send
any one of us

Back to where we came from.

The asylum, i mean.

Terrence, waxing already?

Perhaps you'd share your
thoughts with me sometime.

Mr. Cleg.

How many shirts
are you wearing?

1, 2, 3, 4!

Now, really, is this
absolutely necessary?

Oh, indeed
it is, madam.

Clothes maketh the man.

And...

The less there is
of the man,

The more the need
for clothes.

My mum...

Mummy!

Brilliant.

It's the...

Wing of...
wing of a seagull.

It...

Could have gone
nowhere else.

Are you making progress?

What you doing?

Making something.

Making something.

Aren't you clever.

You're so good
with your hands.

It's for you.

It's for you.
It's for you.

Oh.

Now,

You run down the dog.
There's a good boy,

And tell your father
his dinner's on the table.

It's not on the table.

It's not on the table.

Well, it will be by the time
you get him out of that pub.

Don't go out the front.
I just done them steps.

Who's this then?

Handsome little fella,
ain't ya?

I've come for me dad.

Not here, is he?

You showed him!

I can't believe
she done that.

Oh, look at his
little face.

Bless him.

Leave him alone.

Evening, bill.
Evening, ernie.

The usual?

Yeah. Cheers, mate.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Now, don't you
say a word.

Well,

It was different
when i was a girl.

We lived out
in the country then.

Essex.

I remember how i'd go across
the fields in the morning...

And i'd see the webs
in the trees.

Like clouds of muslin,
they were.

What, spiders' webs?

Spiders' webs.

Of course spiders' webs.

Who else makes webs?

And then,
when i got close,

I'd see that there
wasn't muslin at all.

They were wheels.

Great big shining wheels.

And you know what else?

What?

If you knew where to look,

You could find
the spider's egg bags.

Perfect little things,
they were.

Tiny little silk pockets
she made...

To put her eggs in.

What happened to her
after she laid her eggs?

You like this bit,
don't you?

She just crawled away
without looking back once.

And then she died?

Her work was done.

She had no more silk left.

She was all dried up
and empty.

Dried up and...

You ready then?

As ready as i'll ever be.

And you,
you guard the house,

All right?

Oh. Oh, wait.

What about later?

Oh, that's nice, billy.

Come on, let's go
have a drink now.

Evening, bill.

What'll you have then?

Gin and orange for me, billy.

Evening, bill.
Evening, ernie.

Uh, pint of bitter, please, and a gin and...
gin and orange for the missus.

Gin and orange.

I'd seen more meat
on a butcher's apron.

Nice felt, that.

He started having a sherman
right in front of me.

I says to him,

"If that's the best you can do,
you wanna take that up west.

See what smart people
have to say about it."

Gettin' an eyeful, are ya?

It's that fat tart,
yvonne wilkinson.

Cheers, eddie.

Cheers.

Fat tart...

Yvonne wilkinson.

Gin and orange.

Don't drink so fast, bill.

Fancy another one?

No, i'm not ready
for another one yet.

Turns to me and says,
"nora, no rush."

So the man comes to nora.
She's into him right away.

Next thing she's got half
of london dock all over her.

She's standing there laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" I said.

"I'm drying meself off, like.

I'm with you," she says.
"Look at him.

More like tom thumb."

"Tom thumb?" I says.

"What about...
what about tiny tim?"

How we laughed.

Now his dad,
that's another story.

He was a right little towel rag.
I won't let him near me.

He told me he's there,
i says... i says,

"I got the decorators in,
you know what i mean?"

Yvonne wilkinson.

She made the first move.

Oh, for god's sake,
stop crying!

It was your own fault.

Inside, now!

You big baby.

Yes?

Plumber.

What?

I'm the plumber.
I believe you've got trouble with your pipes.

Yve!

Plumber!

Don't tread on the cats.

It's in there.

Is that the plumber?

Hello, yvonne.

Hear that?
We get that all day.

All bloody day.

Don't we, nora?

All bloody day.

You want air in those pipes.

We got air.

Bad air.

Bad air.

Can't you smell it?

Yeah, but it's coming from your lavatory,
isn't it?

I sincerely hope so.

Shocking,
the state of the plumbing in this place.

You gonna do me pipes
or what?

I had a letter
from that

Sophia loren this morning.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

What she want then?

The usual thing.

What? The old...
you know.

Exactly right.

They're all the same.

All the same.

Still, you know, what...
what can you expect, really?

Mind you, them frenchies
know a thing or 2.

I should say. Knew a frenchie
once with 3 tits.

Get away.

I swear to god.

One here, one here,
and one here.

Well, you
do surprise me.

She was a lovely girl.
Come from manchester.

You said a frenchie.

Well, that was
a different one, you know.

My mother had 3 tits.

A lovely woman,
your mother.

She did like a sailor.

She loved a sailor,
my mom.

Down to me, that was.

How's that then?

Every time
i smoke a fag,

My mum...

Has it off
with a sailor.

Well, y-You smoke
all the time.

Well, that's
what i'm sayin'.

Oh.

Hello there, connor.
Good to see you.

Hello, plumber.

What'd you say
your name was?

Now don't tell me.

Bill.

Always been one
of my favorites.

I had a cat
called bill once.

Nippy out, eh?
Glad i got me fur.

Do you like my fur?

I got it at the market,
didn't i. Secondhand.

Still, what isn't
these days?

I'm a bit secondhand
meself.

But you don't mind that,
do you, bill?

You like that, don't you?

A bit of secondhand?

Lovely job you did
on them pipes.

Barely a squeak
out of them now.

Smell didn't
go away, though.

Come on, plumber.

Let's have ya.

You do my pipes,

And i'll do you.

Oh.

Oh, do you like that?

Yeah.

What's this?

Oh, plumber.
Oh.

Hurry up, bill.
I'm bloody freezing.

I'm stopping here
for a bit.

Suit yourself.

I'm going back up
to the dog.

I went down to salisbury
for a drink.

Can't a man go for a drink
after his work?

I won't live like this.
I wasn't meant to live like this.

Yeah, well,
it's not my fault.

Oh, yes, it is.

No, it bloody
isn't.

It's all right, spider.
Your father and me,

We're just...
having a talk.

You woke me up.

It's all right now.

We're all coming up
to bed now.

Come on, big spider.

Let's go on up.

Look what i've bought.

Think your dad'll
like it?

Spider?

It doesn't fit here.

It doesn't fit.
It's not gonna fit here.

It's not gonna...

You will pick it all up,
mr. Cleg.

Every single piece!

Hello?

Yeah, hello?

Gas works got you,
have they?

I'm not surprised.

Nasty stuff, gas.

I knew a man once,

Put his head
in a gas oven...

And turned on
the gas.

And then he
changed his mind.

But,

His head was stuck.

I smell...
i smell gas.

Yeah, i smell... gas.

Gas.

Gas.

Gas. I smell... gas.

It's gas, isn't it?

I only said it'd be nice
to stay in for a change.

Just the 2 of us.

Wouldn't it,

No, it bloody wouldn't.

I'm sick of this house.

Oh, spider.

Where's she going?

So, plumber,

Down the allotments?
When?

Well, i'm heading off now.

Angry with us?

You know, you're making
your mother very unhappy.

She's not my mother.

Oh!

Oh, this again.

She's a tart.

You cheeky monkey.
I should smack your head.

She's a cheap tart.

You killed my mum, you murderer!
You bloody murderer!

Dennis, do you...

Do you know
what you're saying?

Are you...

I don't know where
you get your ideas from.

You're by yourself

You need some mates.

Well, mr. Cleg?

What are you looking
at me like that for?

Say something, mr. Cleg.

Cat got your tongue?

Someone...

No.

She...

No, no, no, no.

Now,

I'm missing
a spare set of keys.

I left them on
this table last night,

And when i came down this morning,
they were gone.

Well?

Mr. Cleg?

What do you know
about my spare keys?

A spare set of keys.

No.

Several keys on a ring.

Keys.

Mr. Cleg.

Not in your room,
mr. Cleg!

This filthy thing!

It will come down.

I ask you again, mr. Cleg,

Where are my keys?

Who...who are you?

Don't play dumb
with me, my friend.

All right. You leave me
no alternative.

Arms out, legs apart.

What a magpie you are.

Where have you
hidden them, eh?

Nothing to say
to me, mr. Cleg?

No. No.

Not really.

Ow.

You all right?

My hands hurt.
You hurt my hands.

Oh, i'm so sorry.

It's just an excuse to give
you a bit of a cuddle.

Let me see.
I'll take care of them.

Oh, come on!

It don't work!

Fucking plumbing's off.

You're a plumber.

Fucking toilets
don't work.

You stay here.

Oh!

Oh, no. No. No.

For god's sake,
somebody help me, please!

For god's sake!

For god's sake.

You did this.

You did this.

You did your mum in.

You...you killed
your mother.

You murdered
your mum.

Oh, god. Oh.

What have you done?

Huh. You ready to come back to us then,

Y-You got a smoke?
You got a smoke, john?

Yeah. Ta.
