- Kidder.
- Kidder, that's a soft name, isn't it?
- What's your name then?

[Kidder laughs]
What you laughin' at?
What's he laughin' at me for?
Oh, it's curry, is it curry?
Put loads on mine, I love curry.
I lived in China, they
eat it all the time.

- Yeah, go on.
Got any chips?

Go on then, I'll have the extra rice.

- You big puff! [laughing]
You're not from round here, are ya?
- You'd take over from Louis, you know,
if you give the word, all
the g*ng'd come over to you.
Forget about Louis then, he
wouldn't be able to touch us.
You can take him, yano.
- I know.
- [Icky] So are we gonna do
that? Are we gonna go back home?
The coppers would've
forgot about us by now.
- Until next time.
- [Icky] There won't be a next time
if we don't do nothin' wrong.
- But we will do somethin'
wrong if we go back.
- [Icky] Why will we?
- We will.
- All right, so we will, but
we can still keep out the way
of the coppers,
we can keep one jump ahead of them.
- Don't you like it round here?
- It's all right but we
don't live here, do we?
- What wrong?
- Can we live here?
- Eh?
- What?
- It's not a bloody
youth hostel, you know.
You're not down there
with any school, are ya?
You're on the hoof.
Come on, what you been up to?
- Can we live here?
- Why'd you wanna live here for?
- I like it.
- And because you like it,
you think I'm just gonna
open the doors to ya?
The coppers after ya?
- No.
- What you done?
Jumped a bar stool, something like that?
- No.
- Yes!
- Look, we could help ya.
- Doin" what?
- Fixin' up the house and that.
- How do you know I want it fixed up?
- It's a dump!
- Oh, thanks!
- It could be great though.
- Could it really?
- Look, me and Icky could help ya.
- What your name?
- Billy Risley.
- Well, look, Billy Risley, first of all,
I don't need any help
round here and second,
if I did need any help...
I know what you and your mate are like,
I used to teach kids like you.
- [Billy] Are you a teacher?
- Was and I know the likes
of you and your mate.
You'll spend two days round here,
you'll be bored silly, half my
stuff will be broken to bits
and the other half will disappear
when you decide to do a quick moonlight.
Now, don't you think you better go home?
Your mother'll be worried about ya.
- I haven't got a mother.
- Well, whoever looks after ya.
- Nobody looks after me!
Look, we could help ya.
Go fetch vegetables-
- Look son, I don't want
you here, all right?
I don't want anything to do with it.
Now, go on, you've had your free scoff,
get your mate and sod off, go on.
Sod off!
Hey!
Come here.
Are you sure you're not in any trouble?
- Yeah, we've not done nothin'.
- I dunno.
Well, there are a few jobs need doin',
if you and your mate wanna
earn your keep for tonight
and just for tonight, you can do.
Tomorrow, you're on your way, right?
- Yeah, all right.
- There's some wood up the
back, I want it sawin' up.
- I'll go get Icky.
Hey, what're you doin'?
- What?
- Where are all the plates?
- They were no good anyway,
they all had cracks in 'em.
- Have you lobbed 'em?
- Come on, let's piss
off before he finds out.
- Piss off?
We're stayin' here.
- Why?
- Come on, where's those plates?
- He's lost 'em.
- What?
You what?
- [Icky] They all had cracks in 'em.
- What you on about?
- Just skimmed one off
the water, didn't 1?
Just one.
- Where's the others then?
- I dunno, one minute they
were here, the next thing-
- Jesus, they were my plates!
- There were all cracked!
- Come here!
Come here!
- Hey, leave him, you, leave him!
I said leave him!
- [Kidder] Come here!
- Oh sh*t!
- Leave him alone, you!
- Right, you little-
- I said leave him.
- What did you think I was gonna do?
- I know what you were gonna do.
- What?
- You were gonna hurt him.
- No.
- No, you won't now.
- I was gonna give him
a duckin' int river.
After all, they were my
plates, cracked or otherwise.
Have you stuck someone with that?
Eh?
Don't you think you
better get rid of it, son?
Before somebody really does get hurt.
- What did you do that for?
He said we could stay there.
- You pulled the blade on him.
He wasn't gonna hit me, you know.
There's no chance of
stayin' here now though.
- There might be, if we make it all right.
- How?
- We're gonna have to get
some plates, aren't we?
- Where from?
- I don't know.
Come on.
Hey mate, are there any shops round here?
- No, there's no shops around here pal,
if you want shops, you'll
have to go back to Liverpool.
- What?
- How do you know we're from Liverpool?
- Oh, a clever guess.
You see, I once went to
Liverpool when I was-
- Come on, George, what
about this washing line?
- Yeah, I'm just finishin' off here love,
I won't be a minute.
- Well come on, I'm waiting to use it.
- Oh, for Christ sake woman.

Oh, George, you're bloody

Come again?
A little bit slower.
- I'll do better than that,

- Yeah.
- And don't you go sayin' anythin' stupid!
- Me?
- If we tell him we're really
sorry, it'll be all right.
- Still be better if we had some plates.
- Well they don't grow on trees, do they?
Jesus!
Go on!
- Hey!
- Come on, come on!

Oh my god!
Go and get the car.

the grace to piss off?
- What?
Hey now look, this wasn't us.

- What did they look like?
Three of 'em?
- Yeah, they were older than us.
We stopped 'em from wreckin' the house.

- No, I didn't.
I was the only one who got damaged, look.
- Jesus.

- Looks a bit demented, don't he?
- See?
Didn't believe us, did ya?
- Where did they come from?
- [Billy] Where'd you think?
- I don't know, that's why I'm askin'.
- Well, we brought them, all right?
We got a lift in to some village
and we brought them there.
- In the market.
- I'm sorry.
- It's all right.
- Sorry.
Let's have a look at that hand.
- Oh, it's all right.
- I said let's have a look.
- [Icky] Oh, me foot!
I think it might be broken!
I got hurt as well, ya know.
- What's wrong?
- I dunno, I think it might
be strained or broken.
- Get your shoe off, I'll have
a look when I've done this.
- Okay.
- Do you know those three fellas
who were wreckin' your house?
- I know who they are.
- Don't they like ya?
- No.
- Why?
- I dunno.
There you go.
- Ta.
- Let's have a look.
I mean, you hate thick Yorkshire
men, why shouldn't they?
- We don't hate them, not like
the c*ck and Scotties,
we just know that Yorkshire
puddin's are thick and dozy.
- Really?
There's a really sharp saw
in that shed back there,
go and fetch it for me, will ya?
- Oh yeah, all right.

You've been doin' a lot

For a laugh.
What you doin"?

- Well I couldn't do it
without you here, could 1?
- [Kidder] Why not?
- Don't be soft, it's a
two-handed saw, isn't it?
- Here.
Come on.
Right, pull.
Haven't you been pullin'?
- No, it's easier if I push.
- It's easier, course

You can stay tonight and then-

Eh?

- Where did you rob the money from?
- From his old girl.
- You told me you had no mother.
Your own mothers not gonna
press charges, is she?
- Yeah, she hates him.
- Look, nobody'd know.
If we got caught,
we'd tell 'em that you
didn't know anythin',
we'd say we were only workin' here.
Go on, let us stay, don't be tight.
We could help ya.
- We'd behave ourselves, wouldn't we?
- Yeah.
- We'd be dead good, wouldn't we?
- You two?
"Be good?" You don't
know the bloody meaning
of the word, do ya?
- Yeah!
- Get in!
- [Kidder] All right
George, how's it goin"?
- Not so bad.
Just passin' by.
- [Kidder] Yeah?
- Aye. Didn't happen to bump
in to a couple Liverpool boys
that have been sniffin' round, have you?
- When did you see them?
- See them?
I tell you, they'll steal anything.
I'll tell you not one word of a lie,
these two, I saw 'em,
they came in the garden
and they stole the dishes
that Irene had washed.
What're they gonna do with
a pile of bloody dishes?
Eh?
It's beyond me.
I'll tell ya, if they'd steal dishes,

and you're gonna stick to 'em.
We'll start with washin'.
Get yourselves down to the
river, get those clothes off

Then wash the clothes.

- Will you take it easy?
You'll be legless.

as always the last you'll ever get of it?
- Might be, mighten it?
- There's plenty more, it's all right.
There's plenty,

Mr. Billy bright spark!
If you think you're

One day the coppers are gonna pick you off
and when they find ya,
they'll have you whisked away

whistle, Billy Risley.
You and him need every chance you can get
and if he can't read, it's
one less chance he's got.
Now if you're really his mate
just get yourself up there
and fetch him back.
