"When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall..." "He's come to tea." "His name's Daniel." "Pleased to meet you, Daniel." "I suppose I've got enough tea." "I bought extra 'cause your dad's home." "He's out on bail." "I'll take your satchel for you." "Well, hello home, Melody love!" "How have you been?" "All right, thank you." "Who's this?" "He's a little mate from school, aren't you, dear?" "Are you coming in then, love?" "Come on, up to the table." "Nice bit of ham, Flo." "Not bad, is it?" "You in the, uh, in the Boy Scouts, Donald?" "Daniel?" "No, the BB." "I was in the Boy Scouts." "Ha ha, dear me!" "Marvelous, it was." "All those steaming hot cups of cocoa, suet pudding;" "sing songs around the camp fire: "Oh, we're riding along on the Christopher White!" "And the sun—"" "Oh, gum, some of the things we used to get up to..." "Oh, dear me!" "You know, when the new boy arrived, we used to mix some boot black and tooth paste, and spread it all over—" "Reg, do you mind?" "We're eating." "I always think ham is nicest straight off the bone, you know that?" "Always is." "Go to the pictures much, do you, David?" "Daniel." "Oh yes, quite a bit." "When I think of the pictures, I always remember my father." "My father..." "Yes, when I used to ask him for six quid for the pictures, he'd say "There's pictures on the wall!"" ""But I want to see moving pictures!" I used to say." ""I'll make them bloody move!" and threw his boots at the wall!" "My auntie always used to say that moving pictures ruined your eyesight." "Would you like some fish paste, Daniel?" "The continual flickering, she used to say, put your eyeballs off center." "That reminds me of my Uncle Roger." "He was deaf ever since the bomb hit Berwolf Street—during the war, you know." "Anyway, we used to make—" "He read this ad in the paper about readjusting the balance of ear." "So he tried it, and it worked." "So, um, he was overjoyed." "He'd been deaf for twenty years." "So anyway, they had a bit of a celebration, you know." "And, uh, he was opening a bottle of champagne." "The cork flew out, knocked his eye out!" "Life can be very cruel like that." "I'm just a clown that used to run around;" "I used to have a million friends." "I used to start where everybody ends, but I just give my best to my friends." "I've done my shows, everybody knows;" "I nearly sold all my clothes." "One man can give; another has to lend, so I just give my best to my friends. (And so you should!" ")" "And when you think that your life isn't right, you know the day isn't always like night." "You've had your peace; now it's time for you to fight." "Just give your best to your friends." "I'm just a clown that used to run around;" "I used to have a million friends." "I used to start where everybody ends, so I just give my best to my friends." "And when you think that your life isn't right, you know the day isn't always like night." "You've had your peace; now it's time for you to fight." "Just give your best to your friends." "I should be doing English with Miss Fairfax by now." "What should you be doing?" "Um, don't know;" "Geography, I think." "I quite like Geography." "So do I." "Melody..." "Yes?" "Do you like new Maths?" "They're OK." "I think I like History best." "Well, sometimes I like it, but mostly I hate it." "My dad doesn't like the seaside." "He says he gets these sounds in his ears or something." "Whenever we go to the seaside, Dad always stays at home; in the pubs, mostly." "We always travel together." "We don't get out of the car, though, really." "They generally have a row on the way down, and don't speak to each other until we get back home." "Hey, Melody, look what I've got!" "That's good." "See?" "Shall we get married?" "One day, perhaps." "Why does the water always seep away?" "How old do you have to be, you reckon?" "Perhaps you could put the stones in first; then maybe it'll stay." "I don't know; as old as our parents, I suppose." "If we wait that long, we might be old miseries." "Most old people I know are old miseries." "I honestly don't know; when you're older, you're supposed to know it all." "Perhaps that's what makes them so fed up." "Oh, I don't know." "I really don't know." "Come over here." "So, we've taken it upon ourselves to move the summer holidays forward a trifle, have we?" "And where did you decide to go whilst your colleagues went about their daily scholastic duties?" "Theatres Fanfare?" "That's always a favorite." "Theatres Fanfare, was it?" "The seaside, sir." "The seaside?" "You do realize the enormity of this fundamental breach of school discipline?" "It's— It's not a minor offense, Latimer and, uh..." "Perkins; not a minor offense." "If you're galavanting off somewhere, you can't be at school, and if you can't be at school, we can't teach you; and if we can't teach you, you'll end up a bunch of raving imbeciles like the generation above you." "As you know, I don't encourage corporal punishment in this school, but there are occasions when a lesson has to be taught." "However, you're both rather young." "One hesitates to use extremely severe measures." "But for your own good, try to see the error of these immature pranks." "Think of your careers; think of life's rich tapestry that lies before you." "Look, I understand;" "I was young myself, once—a long time ago, of course." "But I realized eventually what my priorities were." "So do we, sir." "So do you what?" "Realize what our, eh, priorities are, sir." "Good for you, Lathan eh, Latimer." "I see our little pow-wow has had some effect, ey?" "Got your priorities right, have you?" "Yes, sir." "We want to get married." "My word, you've got a lot to learn!" "I've heard some funny things in my time..." "I don't think it's very funny, sir." "You don't think it's very funny?" "No, sir." "And you, young lady, do you think it's very funny?" "Not really, sir." "I assume you've already promised your fair, freckled, first-form hand in marriage to this young gentleman?" "I don't really know, sir." "I don't really understand what it all means, sir." "You don't understand what it all means?" "You don't understand what it all means...?" "You're treating us as though we were stupid!" "All we want to do is to be with one another all the time." "We thought that meant getting married, doesn't it!" "?" "It's not meant to be funny!" "Don't you understand?" "Now look here, young man." "I've been extremely patient with you." "I'm willing to overlook your gross ignorance of—" "—of the young lady;" "Lord knows, we've only ourselves to blame for that." "But your impertinence is getting a little out of hand." "The matter is finished." "Do you understand me?" "Finished." ""WHEN IS THE WEDDING, DANNY LOVER BOY?"" "Burgie says "Is it too late to propose?"" "I suppose you've got her mother's approval." "Hope she doesn't forget to come to the wedding." "What the devil do you think you're playing at, you terrible hooligans?" "Now all of you get back to your places!" "Go on, sit down and keep quiet!" "And open your young Latin primers to page 24." "Talk to you later, Ornshaw." "It's a great pity you're not more in love with your work, Latimer." "I'm sorry, Danny." "I didn't mean to." "You really like this little lad, do you?" "Well, that's fine." "We always looked forward to you bringing your boyfriends home." "He— He seems a nice type of..." "lad." "That's just the trouble, though: he's only a little lad... and you're only a little girl." "Our little sunshine, your mum calls you." "I know it's difficult for you to understand, love, but people just don't get married at your age." "They generally wait to see if they like one another when they're older." "How old?" "Well..." "In their twenties..." "Older, sometimes." "That's twice as old as I am, now!" "Well, I know it is, love..." "Only seems like yesterday, I was changing your nappies." "We know, but we want to be together now!" "Think of all the schooling you've got to do yet, love." "Well, you like school, don't you?" "I've got all your reports." "We often look at them, don't we, love?" "I know, but I like being with Daniel more than I like doing Geography." "Sweetheart, there are lots of things... we haven't explained to you yet about:" "life, and... all sorts of... things." "I know, but why is it so difficult when all I want to do is be happy?" "We want you to be happy, love." "Then why can't you help me, instead of keep putting things in my way?" "I just don't understand it, I just can't think why it's so terrible." "Please tell me, because I just don't understand." "Good morning, Mrs. Latimer!" "What can I do for you this splendid morning?" "Elope?" "What do you mean, elope?" "Oh, I'm sure you're quite wrong." "I saw them in class myself scarcely ten minutes ago." "But of course I'm sure!" "Look, if you like, I'll pop down myself and make certain, but I'm sure there's nothing to worry about." "Hello, headmaster's secretary; can I help you?" "Jones, shouldn't you be taking 2C for English?" "Well, I'm supposed to, but they never turned up." "Never turned up?" "They didn't come back after morning break." "OK, where are they?" "Where are who?" "Class, boy, the class." "They're going to get married." "Where, boy, where?" "Under the arches, down by the railway line." "The railway line." "—and the people were all shouting: "Just wait 'til Lenin gets here!"" "Right, well, um... carry on reading until I get back." ""—of common destiny." "It is twice blessed." "It blesseth him that gives—"" "No thank you, I've had mine." ""'Tis mightiest in—"" "Yes, of course." "Proceed with the lesson until I return." "No, it's all right, Saunders." "I'll take over." "You hold the fort." "What's going on?" "Where are they?" "Don't worry; follow me." "Everything's under control." "There he goes!" "I'll go quick and cover his retreat." "Yes, yes, follow him." "He'll— He'll lead us to them..." "Miss Dimkins, cover Dicks." "The rest of you, we'll comb that area." "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God to join together this man and woman in holy matrimony." "Shut up...!" "Well it's not funny, it's serious!" "Wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife and live together after God's ordinance and, uh..." "Will you?" "I will." "Yeah, I thought you might." "When Dicks flushes them out, I'll cut off the left flank;" "Miss, you bring up the rear." "Wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband and live together after God's ordinance in the holy s—" "Will thou obey— Let's see..." "Will you?" "I will." "Good." "Right." "I now pronounce you man and—" "Quick!" "Get out!" "Dicks is coming!" "You, who are on the road, must have a code" "that you can live by;" "and so, become yourself because the past" "is just a goodbye." "Teach your children well;" "their fathers' hell did slowly go by, and feed them on your dreams:" "the one they picked;" "the one you'll know by." "Leave him alone, you horrible old man!" "Don't you ever ask them why:" "if they told you, you would cry;" "so just look at them and sigh, and know they love you." "...and so, please, help (Teach your children) them with your youth. (what you believe in.)" "They seek the truth (Make a world) before they can die. (that we can live in.)" "Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by, and feed them on your dreams:" "He's coming your way!" "Come on, hurry up!" "the one they picked;" "the one you'll know by." "Don't you ever ask them why:" "if they told you, you would cry;" "so just look at them and sigh, and know they love you." "I've done it!" "I'll get you, Ornshaw!" "Don't you ever ask them why:" "if they told you, you would cry;" "so just look at them and sigh, and know they love you." "And you, (Can you hear) of tender years, (and do you care) can't know the fears (and can't you see) that your elders grew by, (we must be free to)" "and so, please, help (teach your children) them with your youth. (what you believe in.)" "They seek the truth (Make a world) before they can die. (that we can live in.)" "Quick!" "Use the trolley!" "Come on, hurry up!" "Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by," "So long, and don't forget to change at Clapham Junction!" "and feed them on your dreams:" "the one they picked;" "the one you'll know by." "Now, Ornshaw...!" "Control yourself!" "Don't you ever ask them why:" "Come on, Mister Dicks, take it like a man!" "if they told you, you would cry;" "Come back here, you fat beast!" "so just look at them and sigh, and know they love you." "Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by, and feed them on your dreams:" "the one they picked;" "the one you'll know by."
