A Hundred Streets Page #3

How are you?

Not too bad. Yourself?

Very well.

Good, good.

I know you've both

done good work

in the preparation

group classes

and it's been a

long six months,

but we're nearly

there now.

I don't know why

you don't just

make us wait

the full nine like the

real thing.

Our assessment's

all but done,

and Dr. ravi buttar's

reference was first-class.

He really respects

you, George.

Oh!

I should play his son

up-front every week.

One minor issue has reared

its ugly head, though,

I'm afraid, guys.

A couple of arrests

in your teens, George.

Football hooliganism?

You assured us

of full disclosure.

That was years ago.

I mean, I was only a kid.

Youthful exuberance,

i think they called it.

Common assault and

disturbing the peace

can be seen by some as more

than a misspent youth, George.

No, I mean, literally,

it was 30 years ago.

West ham ain't won

a trophy since.

I think what my better

half is trying to say

is that having played up

a bit in his teens,

he will be

experienced enough

to make sure that

our kid knows

the pitfalls of hanging

out with wrong 'uns.

Yeah, and I've met

plenty of wrong 'uns.

To be honest,

we're both so nervous

today, and, um...

All we want is what

everyone else has

and to give all the

love we have to a baby

who deserves and needs it.

We just want to be

given a chance.

That's all.

Kathy.

Kath!

Hi, Jake.

Yeah, yeah.

Actually, um, I thought about

what you said the other day

and, um, guess

who I had lunch

with today?

Um, my actor friend,

Terence Harris.

No, no, not like that.

- But he did say that...

- Daddy's here!

- My kids are here!

- Daddy! Daddy!

Can I call you back?

Um, I'll tell you later.

In about an

hour? Yeah.

Da-da-da-da

da-da-da-da-da!

Mommy, look what

daddy bought us!

Wow, that's great!

Why don't you

open them outside?

Because mommy needs to

talk to daddy in private.

Well, that makes a change.

Go on, I'll be in there

in a second, all right?

Okay, okay.

You might be able to

manipulate your groupies

and your so-called mates,

and even your own kids,

but not me, Max,

not since you shat

on your own doorstep.

What is going on,

that's why I gave you

your own space...

Look, I haven't finished!

How dare you

humiliate me like that

in front of my own kids?

Like what? What are

you talking about?

Like what? Is this

about the money?

Of course it's

about the money.

All right, okay,

fine, you know,

I lost my credit

card, okay?

And they put

a block on it.

And I realized that you

might come up short,

so I went to the bank

and got you some cash.

Here you go.

That's why

i came round today,

to make sure you and

the kids were okay.
