Once upon a time

there was a girl called Beatrice.

Who came from a faraway land.

She was banished from her home

by her wicked stepfather.

She was always sure to

send a few coins that she

earned back to her mother

to keep her safe and well.

How do you know?

And in return

her Mother would send her lullabies.

To help her sleep.

Is it morning?

No it's Sunday afternoon.

You've been sick for two days.

I'm hungry.

Yeah?

So this is it?

Yeah this is it.

This is where Django

played with the Hot Club,

in the 30s and 40s. All through the war

it never closed.

Then what happened?

Elvis, I suppose.

You know what I have an idea!

Two Hearts Entwine

What does that mean?

I'm happy.

Give me your hand.

It's a miracle.

Glory Box

Is it still there?

God it's going down!

No it's not!

Morning.

Oh sorry miles away.

Have you seen this?

It's me and my Mother.

I was nine.

You look very uh...

Blurry.

Mmm blurry!

I've never seen any pictures of me at

that age.

Why?

My parents took so

many of my brother,

they lost interest by the time

they got to me.

What happened to your stepfather?

My stepfather?

There's no pictures of him.

Well...

My stepfather used to hurt my Mother

so he got what he deserved.

Then I moved to London and ended up

with people just like him.

Paul and Bruno?

No Paul and Bruno were good to me,

they were protecting me.

Paul!!

Paul, let me in!

Paul, you f***!

Open up!

Open up!

Paul!

Alan wait!

Bea I've got to go to work.

Gotta go.

Close your eyes.

OK!

Oh Bea it's fantastic!

Who's it for?

Come on, try it on..

Darling you shouldn't have...

Ah It's great!

Do you like it?

I love it! Is it me?

Yeah well, it's an improvement anyway.

I hope there's nothing in here!

Hey!

I've had that jacket

for years you know?

Well get ready for changes.

Hi Bruno.

Alan, this is Bruno. Bruno, Alan.

Hi Bruno nice to meet you.

And you Alan. Are you going out?

Yeah.

OK.

Call me if you need me OK?

Bye.

What are you doing, Bea?

What do you mean?

I mean,

what are you doing with this guy?

Want some?

No.

Frank and everybody keeps asking about you.

Wondering when you're going to reappear.

I'm not.

She's not!

She's too

busy playing house.

And what are you doing?

Letting Frank hold your hand.

Showing you the ropes.

He's just a guy in a suit,

he doesn't give a f*** about you,

you know that?

Nobody's ever given a f*** about

me except you Bea.

Not Paul.

Not anybody.

Does he love you?

I think so yeah.

Would he die for you?

Cos I'd die for you you know that Bea.

I know.

Imagination

To be completely honest,

there are some things about her that I,

I don't understand.

What does it mean the closer you get
