1
00:00:33,207 --> 00:00:35,038
How much are these, Mr Arkwright?

2
00:00:35,207 --> 00:00:37,277
That'll be ni--ni--ni--nine...

3
00:00:37,447 --> 00:00:41,520
That'll be n--n--ni--ni--nine...
That'll be ni--ni--nine...

4
00:00:41,687 --> 00:00:44,759
-- Oh, give us a shilling!
-- OK.

5
00:01:00,327 --> 00:01:04,957
A--A--A large sliced loaf
and a tube of instant adhesive.

6
00:01:05,127 --> 00:01:09,279
Are you cutting the sandwiches
for the Women's Guild Choir again?

7
00:01:09,447 --> 00:01:13,645
S--Spread that on nice and thick.
That'll keep 'em quiet!

8
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:17,085
So, you're going
to Parslow's funeral?

9
00:01:17,247 --> 00:01:21,638
Yes, even though it's v--very unlikely
he'll ever go to mine!

10
00:01:23,887 --> 00:01:26,321
G--Granville, two pounds of sugar.

11
00:01:26,487 --> 00:01:30,446
Poor Parslow.
He went very quick at the end.

12
00:01:30,607 --> 00:01:33,326
He went v--very quick at both ends!

13
00:01:33,847 --> 00:01:36,725
You know, he was in here
on Tuesday last,

14
00:01:36,887 --> 00:01:39,196
ordering ale, as l--large as life.

15
00:01:39,367 --> 00:01:40,846
What's so large about life?

16
00:01:41,007 --> 00:01:44,795
So far, my life's
been about three foot nine.

17
00:01:44,967 --> 00:01:47,356
There's no magic nor magnificence
about it!

18
00:01:47,527 --> 00:01:50,325
You mean you b--bought
that aftershave for nothing?

19
00:01:50,487 --> 00:01:52,682
Parslow's been married a long time.

20
00:01:52,847 --> 00:01:54,883
How's his widow bearing up?

21
00:01:55,047 --> 00:01:56,878
Lily? F--F--Fairly well.

22
00:01:57,047 --> 00:01:59,880
Yes, well I always knew
she drew great strength

23
00:02:00,047 --> 00:02:03,198
from the fact that
there was a better life to come...

24
00:02:03,367 --> 00:02:06,803
with him from Albion Street.

25
00:02:07,447 --> 00:02:10,086
Aye, but will he marry her
now she's free?

26
00:02:10,247 --> 00:02:12,886
There's many a slip
twixt rug and kip!

27
00:02:13,047 --> 00:02:16,881
He's snookered.
He's looking doomed already.

28
00:02:17,047 --> 00:02:20,323
No, he'll not be at the funeral.

29
00:02:20,487 --> 00:02:23,923
But I'll bet if there's one person
that's really broken up

30
00:02:24,087 --> 00:02:25,679
about Parslow being dead,

31
00:02:25,847 --> 00:02:28,520
it's him from Albion Street.

32
00:02:28,687 --> 00:02:32,441
Why don't I ever get involved
in these powerful human dramas?

33
00:02:32,607 --> 00:02:35,519
I mean, it's not as though
I'm not available.

34
00:02:35,687 --> 00:02:39,760
You'd think word would get about
that I'm on the threshold of manhood,

35
00:02:39,927 --> 00:02:42,395
willing to be coaxed
out of me bicycle clips!

36
00:02:44,247 --> 00:02:47,319
I could be lured away
from stacking carrots

37
00:02:47,487 --> 00:02:50,797
by the first determined mature woman
to come along.

38
00:02:54,967 --> 00:02:57,686
Well, practically the first, anyway.

39
00:02:57,847 --> 00:03:00,236
Listen, have you w--weighed
them sultanas?

40
00:03:00,407 --> 00:03:03,001
Yes, but that's no substitute,
is it?!

41
00:03:05,007 --> 00:03:06,645
How old is he now?

42
00:03:06,807 --> 00:03:09,765
I daren't tell him
in case he asks for a rise!

43
00:03:09,927 --> 00:03:12,361
There are so many problems in life.

44
00:03:12,527 --> 00:03:15,803
I wonder where we get the strength
to carry on.

45
00:03:15,967 --> 00:03:18,640
You're not c--carrying on,
are you, Mrs Blewitt?

46
00:03:18,807 --> 00:03:21,958
You're not s--snatching
forbidden moments of happiness?

47
00:03:22,127 --> 00:03:24,197
I'm not snatching anything!

48
00:03:24,367 --> 00:03:25,766
That's a good girl.

49
00:03:25,927 --> 00:03:28,919
I was talking about the energy
for carrying on living.

50
00:03:29,087 --> 00:03:32,875
For making the daily effort
to put a cheerful face on things.

51
00:03:33,047 --> 00:03:35,641
When will you start? Monday?

52
00:03:35,807 --> 00:03:38,799
I didn't think that was
like the Mrs Blewitt I knew,

53
00:03:38,967 --> 00:03:42,676
though it gave me a moment's pause
when you said that.

54
00:03:42,847 --> 00:03:45,441
I thought, "If love has walked in,

55
00:03:45,607 --> 00:03:48,724
"that's the last time
she'll come to me

56
00:03:48,887 --> 00:03:51,447
"..for a Dr Brownlow's
Chest Poultice!"

57
00:03:56,967 --> 00:04:01,199
Well, looks like a nice f--fresh day
for your funeral, Parslow.

58
00:04:06,127 --> 00:04:10,245
Thank you for the order for
the boiled ham and buns for the catering.

59
00:04:11,047 --> 00:04:13,163
Though I must say,
if it'd been left to me,

60
00:04:13,327 --> 00:04:16,080
you'd have had
twice as many Eccles cakes!

61
00:04:16,247 --> 00:04:20,604
Lily was working on the assumption
that you didn't want much fuss.

62
00:04:20,767 --> 00:04:23,281
Well, we both know that's untrue,
don't we?

63
00:04:23,447 --> 00:04:27,759
But if you have any objections,
Parslow, now's the time to speak.

64
00:04:28,527 --> 00:04:31,803
Look at that suit.
50 shilling tailors. Remember this?

65
00:04:31,967 --> 00:04:36,802
50 bob, eh? I b--bet you c--couldn't
get one for a fiver now!

66
00:04:38,767 --> 00:04:43,238
Parslow, you went very sudden,
but don't think you're forgotten.

67
00:04:43,407 --> 00:04:44,999
I shall always remember

68
00:04:45,167 --> 00:04:48,796
the way you still owe me
for that crate of Nut Brown Ale!

69
00:05:36,847 --> 00:05:42,046
It's about time the bread man turned up
with them funs for the buneral!

70
00:05:44,487 --> 00:05:47,160
I hope he brings the buns
for the funeral an' all!

71
00:05:47,327 --> 00:05:52,196
All right, all right. Parslow
never f--fluffed his words, did he?

72
00:05:52,367 --> 00:05:54,722
But he's su--so--sa--su--snuffed it!

73
00:05:54,887 --> 00:05:57,162
Was that what killed him? Elocution?

74
00:05:57,327 --> 00:05:59,238
Anyway, what time are you going out?

75
00:05:59,407 --> 00:06:02,080
I don't know whether I dare
leave you here alone.

76
00:06:02,247 --> 00:06:05,637
You've got no head for business,
have you?

77
00:06:05,807 --> 00:06:08,958
Your other end's
not very impressive, either!

78
00:06:11,967 --> 00:06:15,198
I don't know...where are we going
with our lives?

79
00:06:15,367 --> 00:06:19,076
Eh? I mean, the struggle,
what's it all in aid of?

80
00:06:19,247 --> 00:06:23,160
The morning of a funeral
should give you moments for concern.

81
00:06:23,327 --> 00:06:25,557
D--Don't sit on the penny chews!

82
00:06:25,727 --> 00:06:27,683
I mean, where is it all leading to?

83
00:06:27,847 --> 00:06:30,680
N--No one will eat a penny chew
when it's been sat on!

84
00:06:30,847 --> 00:06:34,920
Haven't you ever stopped to consider
about the quality of life?

85
00:06:35,087 --> 00:06:39,000
I will if I have to eat that penny
chew! Look, it's all bent!

86
00:06:39,167 --> 00:06:41,601
Do you know what that sound is?

87
00:06:41,767 --> 00:06:43,917
Yes, I do. That's the fight bell.

88
00:06:44,087 --> 00:06:47,443
It means: Seconds out, let's get
money in the blue corner!

89
00:06:47,607 --> 00:06:50,201
No, that is life passing us by.

90
00:06:50,367 --> 00:06:54,406
That is mortality, old age,
sickness...

91
00:06:54,567 --> 00:06:55,966
..death!

92
00:06:56,127 --> 00:06:59,085
That reminds me. We're g--getting
very low on mothballs.

93
00:06:59,927 --> 00:07:03,840
Ask not for whom the bell tolls.
It tolls for thee!

94
00:07:04,007 --> 00:07:06,441
(PHONE RINGS)

95
00:07:09,247 --> 00:07:13,240
Just as long as it doesn't try
to r--reverse the charges, that's all!

96
00:07:14,327 --> 00:07:16,079
Aren't you going to answer it?

97
00:07:16,247 --> 00:07:19,239
N--No, it may be tolling for thee.
Thee answer it!

98
00:07:21,767 --> 00:07:23,086
Yes, hello?

99
00:07:24,207 --> 00:07:26,641
Oh, yes. Would you hold on, please?

100
00:07:28,207 --> 00:07:30,801
-- Mrs Parslow.
-- Oh, dear.

101
00:07:32,327 --> 00:07:35,797
Hello, Lily. It's me,
Ark--Ark--Ark--Ark...

102
00:07:37,127 --> 00:07:39,197
Oh, how did you know?

103
00:07:40,167 --> 00:07:43,079
Yes, I've ordered the buns, love.
They'll be here.

104
00:07:43,247 --> 00:07:47,240
I'll keep them here. We can pick
them up on the way to the chapel.

105
00:07:47,407 --> 00:07:50,763
I don't want to leave this lad
any longer than necessary.

106
00:07:50,927 --> 00:07:52,519
How are you coping?

107
00:07:52,687 --> 00:07:55,281
Well, yes, you will be busy,
won't you, yes.

108
00:07:55,447 --> 00:07:57,961
You must expect to be busy,
mustn't you?

109
00:07:58,127 --> 00:08:00,118
It's once in a lifetime, isn't it?

110
00:08:00,287 --> 00:08:04,075
I suppose Parslow's no help.
He's lying on his back as usual!

111
00:08:04,247 --> 00:08:08,035
Oh, in the front room, is he?
Oh, he f--finally made it!

112
00:08:09,407 --> 00:08:11,477
I hope he wiped his boots.

113
00:08:12,087 --> 00:08:14,317
(SCREECH OF TYRES)
Hang on, Lily,

114
00:08:14,487 --> 00:08:17,524
I just heard F--Formula One,
the bread man, arriving.

115
00:08:17,687 --> 00:08:19,518
That'll be your buns. Ta--ta.

116
00:08:20,767 --> 00:08:22,246
Nice morning, Granville.

117
00:08:22,407 --> 00:08:25,717
Aye, it is. But what are we
going to do with it?!

118
00:08:25,887 --> 00:08:28,196
Hold this door open for me, I hope.

119
00:08:28,367 --> 00:08:32,758
We're not going to rush out and live
every sweet golden moment, are we?!

120
00:08:32,927 --> 00:08:36,636
Not unless we go on the shop bike
and make deliveries while we're at it!

121
00:08:37,327 --> 00:08:40,399
-- Y--You're late, y'know!
-- Traffic.

122
00:08:40,567 --> 00:08:44,321
Yes, it's that big bollard
in Bridge Street that holds things up.

123
00:08:44,487 --> 00:08:48,366
Then he gets on his bicycle
and pedals back to the station!

124
00:08:48,807 --> 00:08:52,163
It's getting worse. I nearly
had a nasty shunt in Lockston.

125
00:08:52,327 --> 00:08:56,605
Don't tell me you had to swerve to
avoid her at the cake shop's husband?

126
00:08:56,767 --> 00:08:58,644
I'm not like that, Mr Arkwright.

127
00:08:58,807 --> 00:09:01,480
Get off, you drive
like a family planner!

128
00:09:01,647 --> 00:09:02,966
Eh?

129
00:09:03,127 --> 00:09:06,517
You never know when you'll pull out
in the middle of the road.

130
00:09:09,527 --> 00:09:13,520
People will look in. I'm making
a little list of what you have to do.

131
00:09:13,687 --> 00:09:17,839
-- You won't be alone for long, don't worry.
-- You're the one that's worried!

132
00:09:18,007 --> 00:09:21,158
It's my business at risk
if you ruin it!

133
00:09:21,327 --> 00:09:23,283
What, in one morning?

134
00:09:23,447 --> 00:09:25,756
World War T--Two
started in one morning.

135
00:09:25,927 --> 00:09:29,044
And look what that did
to the grocery business!

136
00:09:29,207 --> 00:09:31,641
All right,
put that down on your list!

137
00:09:31,807 --> 00:09:35,800
Instructions for what I have to do
in case of an outbreak of hostilities!

138
00:09:35,967 --> 00:09:37,958
You're getting very sarcastic!

139
00:09:38,127 --> 00:09:42,006
You think I'm just a d--dry old man
in love with the profit motive.

140
00:09:42,167 --> 00:09:45,762
You charged Parslow's widow
full price for them buns!

141
00:09:45,927 --> 00:09:49,317
-- You're a mean old scrote!
-- I sent a wreath!

142
00:09:49,487 --> 00:09:51,717
That was more like a buttonhole.

143
00:09:53,327 --> 00:09:56,842
-- I can explain that.
-- So can I. You're a mean old scrote!

144
00:09:57,007 --> 00:10:00,204
Listen, I went and p--priced
a normal wreath,

145
00:10:00,367 --> 00:10:04,155
and I deducted what he owed me
for the crate of Nut Brown Ale.

146
00:10:04,327 --> 00:10:05,919
Your own best friend!

147
00:10:06,087 --> 00:10:08,840
Yes, he was when he was alive, yes.

148
00:10:09,007 --> 00:10:14,161
Me and Parslow had many a giggle,
but to see him now isn't much fun.

149
00:10:15,927 --> 00:10:18,361
-- You should remember him as he was.
-- I do.

150
00:10:18,527 --> 00:10:22,122
-- Full of life.
-- Full of brown ale! Mine, mostly!

151
00:10:22,287 --> 00:10:27,998
W--While I am out I want you to behave
in a p--proper shopkeeper manner.

152
00:10:28,167 --> 00:10:30,397
-- Understand?
-- I know, I know exactly!

153
00:10:30,567 --> 00:10:32,558
It's a big smile of welcome.

154
00:10:32,727 --> 00:10:35,605
If it's a cash customer
show all your teeth!

155
00:10:35,767 --> 00:10:40,363
Meanwhile, your hand should be
hovering a few inches from her purse!

156
00:10:40,527 --> 00:10:42,643
And then make casual conversation.

157
00:10:42,807 --> 00:10:45,719
"Oh, good afternoon, Mrs Thingumybob.

158
00:10:45,887 --> 00:10:50,278
"How's all your little p--p--pound notes
and 50ps keeping?

159
00:10:52,167 --> 00:10:54,442
"Do bring your money in again!"

160
00:10:55,527 --> 00:10:59,566
Yes, that's very good, that. I should
work on that imp--impersonation!

161
00:10:59,727 --> 00:11:03,800
It might be the start
of a long career in hospital!

162
00:11:05,367 --> 00:11:09,246
There's a whole world outside
that I've never even sampled!

163
00:11:09,407 --> 00:11:13,241
You've nearly had the wrappers off
that M--Maureen once or twice.

164
00:11:13,407 --> 00:11:16,638
I'm talking about adventure,
romance, the arts!

165
00:11:16,807 --> 00:11:21,517
When did we last have a natter
about despair in the works of Dostoevsky?

166
00:11:21,687 --> 00:11:24,121
Oh, it m--must be ages (!)

167
00:11:24,287 --> 00:11:26,278
What do you think of modern theatre?

168
00:11:26,447 --> 00:11:29,803
-- Filth!
-- You see? What can we talk about?

169
00:11:29,967 --> 00:11:31,844
Life, you dozy prawn!

170
00:11:32,887 --> 00:11:34,798
Life! It's all going on out there.

171
00:11:34,967 --> 00:11:38,243
Up and down the street,
in and out the windows!

172
00:11:38,407 --> 00:11:40,159
It's not in books!

173
00:11:40,327 --> 00:11:44,161
You've got your head
full of intellectual f--f--fluff.

174
00:11:44,327 --> 00:11:46,397
It's an intellectual world.

175
00:11:46,567 --> 00:11:49,035
A--And look where it's got us.

176
00:11:49,207 --> 00:11:51,038
Where's my tea?

177
00:11:51,727 --> 00:11:53,080
Oh, there it is!

178
00:11:56,527 --> 00:11:57,926
Oh, dear.

179
00:12:02,087 --> 00:12:04,601
-- What do you fancy for dinner?
-- Not a lot.

180
00:12:04,767 --> 00:12:07,600
-- We'll have a bite at the funeral.
-- Who is we?

181
00:12:07,767 --> 00:12:11,396
Well, sh--she'll be going,
won't she, bless her?

182
00:12:11,567 --> 00:12:13,205
Nurse Gladys Emmanuel.

183
00:12:13,367 --> 00:12:17,121
That's what you want, Granville.
A f--fine woman...

184
00:12:17,287 --> 00:12:21,041
with a fine big heart --
two if possible!

185
00:12:22,087 --> 00:12:24,237
Beats all your books.

186
00:12:24,407 --> 00:12:28,195
I suppose it must do.
Especially if you read a lot in bed!

187
00:12:29,007 --> 00:12:32,204
Your hands get so cold
holding a paperback.

188
00:12:32,367 --> 00:12:34,562
But you can get hold of a good woman

189
00:12:34,727 --> 00:12:37,764
without your hands
leaving the blanket!

190
00:12:37,927 --> 00:12:39,963
Warm sausage roll?

191
00:12:40,127 --> 00:12:42,595
I shouldn't be at all surprised!

192
00:12:45,167 --> 00:12:47,078
For your dinner!

193
00:12:48,287 --> 00:12:53,680
Oh, yes, yes. Well, I won't want anything cold,
not with Parslow the way he is.

194
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:58,600
-- (BELL)
-- Nurse Gladys Emmanuel.

195
00:12:58,767 --> 00:13:00,325
Put that sausage away!

196
00:13:03,447 --> 00:13:07,759
-- Well, what can I do you for?
-- Two packets of peppermints.

197
00:13:07,927 --> 00:13:10,282
Oh, that sounds reasonable, I accept.

198
00:13:15,727 --> 00:13:17,957
What do you want? Extra strong?

199
00:13:18,127 --> 00:13:21,085
You know me, Arkwright,
moderation in all things.

200
00:13:21,247 --> 00:13:23,966
I say, you have c--come up a treat,
Gladys Emmanuel!

201
00:13:24,127 --> 00:13:27,278
Meaning I usually look like
some sort of slovenly old bag?!

202
00:13:27,447 --> 00:13:32,237
No, not some sort, my favourite sort
of slovenly old bag!

203
00:13:32,407 --> 00:13:37,356
I'm only joking. No, I think funerals
bring out the best in a woman.

204
00:13:37,527 --> 00:13:40,564
I think it's life's reaction
in the face of death.

205
00:13:40,727 --> 00:13:44,436
On the other hand, it could be
you're just a dirty old man!

206
00:13:44,607 --> 00:13:46,643
Yes, it could.

207
00:13:46,807 --> 00:13:48,957
I like that blouse
you've got on there.

208
00:13:49,127 --> 00:13:51,721
I'd like to browse
through that blouse!

209
00:13:54,087 --> 00:13:55,964
One afternoon, when it's wet.

210
00:13:57,327 --> 00:14:00,444
I'll send it over next time
I wash it.

211
00:14:01,527 --> 00:14:05,076
All right, you win.
There you are -- medium strong.

212
00:14:05,247 --> 00:14:09,604
Now, will it be cash, or shall
we come to a little arrangement?

213
00:14:09,767 --> 00:14:12,839
All right, I accept it
on one condition --

214
00:14:13,007 --> 00:14:17,398
that you save me a nice warm seat
next to you in the chapel.

215
00:14:17,567 --> 00:14:19,319
And not too near the band.

216
00:14:19,487 --> 00:14:22,957
If I'm not next to you,
I shan't enjoy the funeral at all.

217
00:14:23,127 --> 00:14:25,880
-- You are coming?
-- Certainly.

218
00:14:26,047 --> 00:14:29,881
You don't think I'm wearing this suit
to impress the bread man?

219
00:14:31,127 --> 00:14:36,076
I bet Parslow's wearing a better one
and he's going to be cremated!

220
00:14:37,167 --> 00:14:41,160
I'm n--not getting rid of this!
It keeps coming back into fashion!

221
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:44,845
The last of the big spenders,
you are (!)

222
00:14:45,007 --> 00:14:47,521
There's two miracles I find hard
to believe --

223
00:14:47,687 --> 00:14:50,076
the opening of the Red Sea
and your wallet!

224
00:14:51,127 --> 00:14:55,405
I'm trying to scrape together
a few bob so we can have a honeymoon!

225
00:14:55,567 --> 00:14:57,558
We're supposed to get married first!

226
00:14:57,727 --> 00:15:02,596
That was in the old days.
It's all self--service now, in't it?

227
00:15:03,567 --> 00:15:05,444
Not round here, it isn't!

228
00:15:05,607 --> 00:15:07,837
Oh, very well, then, I'll marry you.

229
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:12,159
Name the day. Any b--bank holiday
between n--now and Christmas.

230
00:15:13,727 --> 00:15:15,718
And who'd look after me mother?

231
00:15:15,887 --> 00:15:20,597
I've thought about that.
I saw this old film the other night.

232
00:15:20,767 --> 00:15:25,602
Peter Cushing had someone like your
mother in a dungeon under the castle.

233
00:15:27,047 --> 00:15:31,518
-- It had red eyes and was very hairy...
-- (BELL)

234
00:15:34,007 --> 00:15:37,761
Oh, she's the first person I've met
that doesn't like Peter Cushing.

235
00:17:20,327 --> 00:17:22,477
Don't upset yourself, Lily!

236
00:17:22,647 --> 00:17:24,717
We'll get the buns in!

237
00:17:46,767 --> 00:17:48,519
If Mrs Halliwell's in a good mood,

238
00:17:48,687 --> 00:17:52,157
try and talk her into something
extravagant for the bathroom.

239
00:17:52,807 --> 00:17:57,119
-- Are you sure you'll be all right?
-- I'll be all right.

240
00:18:06,887 --> 00:18:08,923
(PHONE RINGS)

241
00:18:12,767 --> 00:18:15,042
Arkwright and Granville's.

242
00:18:16,527 --> 00:18:20,725
Of course I'm all right!
You've only been gone ten minutes!

243
00:18:22,207 --> 00:18:24,118
Where are you speaking from?

244
00:18:24,527 --> 00:18:29,237
Does he know you're in his study
on the phone while he's preaching?

245
00:18:30,447 --> 00:18:34,565
No, go back to the chapel. And don't
forget to leave money for the call!

246
00:18:35,087 --> 00:18:37,999
What? The telephone's bright red?

247
00:18:38,167 --> 00:18:40,283
Maybe you got on the hot line!

248
00:18:40,447 --> 00:18:43,757
I should get off before we hear
another voice on the line!

249
00:18:43,927 --> 00:18:46,487
Look, I keep telling you,
I'm all right!

250
00:18:47,647 --> 00:18:50,605
We had a nice lot of customers
all in one go!

251
00:18:50,767 --> 00:18:53,235
A bus just came through the wall!

252
00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:57,484
No, no, no...we've nearly
got the fire under control.

253
00:18:58,527 --> 00:19:01,724
Don't start stuttering,
I'm only pulling your leg!

254
00:19:02,607 --> 00:19:05,804
That's a nice thing to say
over a chapel telephone (!)

255
00:19:07,967 --> 00:19:12,085
# ..hope and set me free

256
00:19:12,247 --> 00:19:17,275
# Let me tread the road with thee

257
00:19:18,807 --> 00:19:23,085
# Guide my f--f--feet
and t--take my hand

258
00:19:23,247 --> 00:19:29,766
# Lead me to the P--P--P--Promised Land

259
00:19:36,407 --> 00:19:42,084
# Lift my heart and cleanse my soul

260
00:19:42,527 --> 00:19:47,282
# Lead me through ???

261
00:19:47,607 --> 00:19:51,156
(HYMN CONTINUES)

262
00:20:00,407 --> 00:20:06,642
# What I have I freely give

263
00:20:06,807 --> 00:20:12,359
# That my soul once more may live...

264
00:20:12,847 --> 00:20:18,604
-- # Our greed have put away... #
-- I've got no change.

265
00:20:18,767 --> 00:20:24,444
# Towards that triumphal day... #
You'll have to put a pound in, won't you?

266
00:20:24,607 --> 00:20:26,837
A pound...?!

267
00:20:31,007 --> 00:20:36,718
# And for ever more...

268
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:48,403
# ..fountain of tranquillity

269
00:20:48,967 --> 00:20:54,519
# Guide me, lest my soul doth stray

270
00:20:54,687 --> 00:21:00,159
# Hark, thy road
runs straight thy way

271
00:21:00,327 --> 00:21:06,436
# Angels guide me to thy breast

272
00:21:06,607 --> 00:21:13,319
# And eternally to rest

273
00:21:14,447 --> 00:21:19,646
# A...m--m--m--men! #

274
00:22:06,607 --> 00:22:08,404
Do you want any eggs, Mr Wilkinson?

275
00:22:08,567 --> 00:22:11,479
So, that's the way
your mind's working now?

276
00:22:11,647 --> 00:22:13,763
What way, Mr Wilkinson?

277
00:22:13,927 --> 00:22:17,556
-- Eggs!
-- Do you want any, Mr Wilkinson?

278
00:22:17,727 --> 00:22:20,446
You start thinking about eggs,
next thing you know,

279
00:22:20,607 --> 00:22:24,395
you'll be encouraging your mind
to dwell on the...reproductive cycle!

280
00:22:26,367 --> 00:22:30,406
You'll not find the four--letter word
"eggs" on my shopping list!

281
00:22:31,287 --> 00:22:35,280
Give 'em up, lad!
Turn your back on 'em.

282
00:22:35,447 --> 00:22:37,438
Keep yourself clean!

283
00:22:39,327 --> 00:22:42,046
I do, Mr Wilkinson, I do.

284
00:22:42,207 --> 00:22:44,641
I'll have two ounces
of liquorice torpedoes.

285
00:22:44,807 --> 00:22:47,765
They'll take your mind
away from eggs.

286
00:22:51,367 --> 00:22:54,086
I'm not against
all forms of pleasure.

287
00:22:57,247 --> 00:23:02,719
It can be a great burden, Granville,
being holier than everybody else.

288
00:23:04,487 --> 00:23:06,239
But I enjoy it.

289
00:23:06,407 --> 00:23:08,875
What do you enjoy, lad?

290
00:23:11,447 --> 00:23:12,846
Good health, Mr Wilkinson.

291
00:23:13,007 --> 00:23:15,282
That reminds me,
I want a new battery.

292
00:23:15,447 --> 00:23:17,517
-- Oh, shaver?
-- Torch.

293
00:23:18,287 --> 00:23:22,678
I know where to find them
in the bushes after dark!

294
00:23:24,207 --> 00:23:26,402
-- Eggs?
-- People.

295
00:23:27,407 --> 00:23:28,999
Out of wedlock.

296
00:23:29,167 --> 00:23:31,681
Oh, them bushes!

297
00:23:31,847 --> 00:23:35,522
-- They soon get worn out.
-- I beg your pardon?!

298
00:23:35,687 --> 00:23:37,006
Batteries!

299
00:23:37,167 --> 00:23:40,443
Oh, yes, I expect they would
if you use them like that.

300
00:23:41,167 --> 00:23:44,603
Next time you feel desperate
for an egg, lad,

301
00:23:44,767 --> 00:23:48,521
pause and remember
where it's come from!

302
00:23:48,687 --> 00:23:52,521
The world is full of nasty places,
Granville!

303
00:23:55,327 --> 00:23:57,966
What do you have with your bacon,
Mr Wilkinson?

304
00:23:58,127 --> 00:24:01,836
Fried bread, lad! The wholesome loaf!

305
00:24:02,007 --> 00:24:04,567
We know where that's come from,
don't we?

306
00:24:04,727 --> 00:24:07,764
That randy little bread man
delivers it, Mr Wilkinson.

307
00:24:12,887 --> 00:24:14,400
Shan't be long.

308
00:24:14,567 --> 00:24:19,118
Will you get a move on?!
You're holding everything up!

309
00:24:20,207 --> 00:24:23,756
I wish you wouldn't make
these provocative statements.

310
00:24:30,207 --> 00:24:35,679
It'll be like old times for Parslow.
He never went by without stopping.

311
00:24:44,007 --> 00:24:46,475
L--I thought I'd pop in,
as I was passing.

312
00:24:46,647 --> 00:24:48,683
There's no need. I'm all right!

313
00:24:48,847 --> 00:24:52,999
I thought you'd think it f--funny
if I went past and didn't look in.

314
00:24:53,167 --> 00:24:54,839
Pardon me.

315
00:24:56,247 --> 00:24:58,238
You'll be late for the crematorium!

316
00:24:58,407 --> 00:25:01,683
It's all right, they can
clog on a bit instead of crawling!

317
00:25:01,847 --> 00:25:05,920
Hey, we're doing all right.
Has M--Mrs Ellis been in for her bread yet?

318
00:25:06,087 --> 00:25:07,406
Yes.

319
00:25:07,567 --> 00:25:10,320
And did you save them brown rolls
for Mrs Mukarjee?

320
00:25:10,487 --> 00:25:11,806
Yes.

321
00:25:11,967 --> 00:25:14,197
-- Has Hilda's kid been in yet?
-- Not yet.

322
00:25:14,367 --> 00:25:17,803
If he gets troublesome,
you know where the drawing pins are.

323
00:25:17,967 --> 00:25:20,561
Pin him to the door by his socks.

324
00:25:20,727 --> 00:25:24,561
I'll try to get back for that big rush
when they get off the bus.

325
00:25:24,727 --> 00:25:26,638
It's only four or five people!

326
00:25:26,807 --> 00:25:28,445
All at once!

327
00:25:28,607 --> 00:25:30,598
I've p--put years into this business!

328
00:25:30,767 --> 00:25:34,316
I know! You've put years on me,
keep on checking up on me!

329
00:25:34,487 --> 00:25:38,162
(CAR HORN ) You know, even when
Parslow and me were at school,

330
00:25:38,327 --> 00:25:43,276
when we'd discuss the future,
it was the same then, you know.

331
00:25:43,447 --> 00:25:46,484
I knew what I wanted.
I wanted me own business.

332
00:25:46,647 --> 00:25:48,842
P--People were like that in them days.

333
00:25:49,007 --> 00:25:53,046
You could go for weeks without seeing
a s--soul who worked for the state.

334
00:25:53,207 --> 00:25:57,325
Now, if you put all the government
officials end to end,

335
00:25:57,487 --> 00:25:59,876
I doubt if anyone would notice.

336
00:26:00,047 --> 00:26:02,845
What did Parslow want to be?

337
00:26:03,007 --> 00:26:06,522
I don't know.
I don't think he knew, exactly.

338
00:26:06,687 --> 00:26:09,247
But I'm damned sure
it wasn't that out there!

339
00:26:09,407 --> 00:26:13,366
(CAR HORN BLARES) You'd better go.
Parslow's getting impatient!

340
00:26:13,527 --> 00:26:18,157
It's all them flowers, you know.
V--Very bad for his hay fever!

341
00:26:39,687 --> 00:26:41,678
Been a funny old day.

342
00:26:42,807 --> 00:26:44,877
Aye, it has for me an' all.

343
00:26:45,047 --> 00:26:47,038
That shop bell's never stopped!

344
00:26:47,207 --> 00:26:49,641
Half the time, it was you!

345
00:26:51,847 --> 00:26:55,157
I told you, I don't like to be away
from the shop for too long.

346
00:26:55,327 --> 00:26:59,605
In that case, what's all this loose
chat about us going on honeymoon?

347
00:26:59,767 --> 00:27:03,396
Are there are some things
for which I'll make an exception.

348
00:27:03,567 --> 00:27:05,842
Have you had an onion tonight, dear?

349
00:27:06,007 --> 00:27:08,680
No! What sort of exceptions?

350
00:27:08,847 --> 00:27:12,283
Ah, now's your chance, Nurse.
The world's your oyster.

351
00:27:12,447 --> 00:27:15,883
He'll take you anywhere...
within cycling distance!

352
00:27:16,887 --> 00:27:20,277
W--why don't you go out
and enjoy yourself, Granville?

353
00:27:20,447 --> 00:27:22,358
Well, go out, anyway!

354
00:27:22,527 --> 00:27:25,678
You're always squawking
about never having any time off.

355
00:27:25,847 --> 00:27:28,441
Are you saying
the rest of the day's mine?!

356
00:27:28,607 --> 00:27:31,201
-- It's nearly bedtime!
-- That's true.

357
00:27:33,207 --> 00:27:34,959
Not round here, it isn't!

358
00:27:35,127 --> 00:27:37,163
Not if I don't get
a decent honeymoon.

359
00:27:37,327 --> 00:27:39,397
All right, where do you want to go?

360
00:27:39,567 --> 00:27:41,285
Tahiti.

361
00:27:42,967 --> 00:27:45,959
But I'm open to suggestions.
What did you have in mind?

362
00:27:46,127 --> 00:27:51,360
I thought we'd borrow Dickie Jowett's
boat and cruise the inland waterways.

363
00:27:51,527 --> 00:27:52,846
Where exactly?

364
00:27:53,007 --> 00:27:57,000
I fancy the stretch of canal
between here and M--Mowbray Street.

365
00:27:57,367 --> 00:28:00,006
Well, don't go all National Health
about it!

366
00:28:00,167 --> 00:28:03,842
-- It all water!
-- How can you tell, it's so mucky?!

367
00:28:04,007 --> 00:28:07,204
And if we got all the way
to exotic Mowbray Street,

368
00:28:07,367 --> 00:28:10,165
you'd barely be able
to hear the shop bell!

369
00:28:11,407 --> 00:28:14,319
I bet old Parslow would wish
he could go to Tahiti.

370
00:28:14,487 --> 00:28:18,400
Where he's gone this afternoon
is hot enough for anybody!

371
00:28:19,087 --> 00:28:20,964
You're not leaving us, are you?

372
00:28:21,127 --> 00:28:23,004
I'm going to tuck me mother in.

373
00:28:23,167 --> 00:28:25,761
Pity you didn't tuck her in
with Parslow!

374
00:28:27,407 --> 00:28:31,400
Why don't you come back later
and have one of my special nightcaps?

375
00:28:31,567 --> 00:28:33,956
-- He's going out.
-- Don't think I'll bother.

376
00:28:34,127 --> 00:28:35,765
OWW!

377
00:28:39,567 --> 00:28:42,764
I'll go out! I'll go out
and see what's happening!

378
00:28:44,567 --> 00:28:47,127
Oh, what it must be like to be young!

379
00:28:47,287 --> 00:28:50,757
Hurry back, Gladys.
Ring the bell, won't you?

380
00:28:50,927 --> 00:28:54,044
-- I'm making no promises.
-- Goodnight, Granville!

381
00:28:54,207 --> 00:28:56,277
Don't send him out on his own!

382
00:28:56,447 --> 00:29:00,235
Oh, don't fret about me.
There's so much to do (!)

383
00:29:00,407 --> 00:29:03,638
I mean, the whole town's a--buzz (!)

384
00:29:06,207 --> 00:29:11,361
Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can
find all sorts of moths to watch...

385
00:29:11,527 --> 00:29:13,006
attracted by street lights!
