Thanks.

So, what you gonna do?

I don't know.

I've got nowhere to go...

nothing at all,

no bag, no money, no clothes...

nothing.

Won't it be better going back home?

I hated it.

I've got nothing at all.

What about your pals?

They're not me real mates,

they're just people I know.

Useless waste of space, like me.

Don't think like that.

Well, it's true.

Can you do me a favour, please?

Can you lend me some money?

I'll buy you a train ticket.

What about if I pretended

it was for a train ticket?

You've got some cheek.

Here's a tenner.

Thank you.

I've gotta go, I've got a meeting.

- OK.

- Are you gonna be all right?

- Yeah.

- OK.

- See you again.

- You take care.

Who are you?

Don't matter.

It's my photograph.

Who's she?

It's not your business.

She's pretty fit.

Is she a model?

- What?

- I said she's quite fit, is she a model?

No.

So you do things for magazines

like pornos and... sex magazines?

No!

I'm only asking.

You should do.

She should get in 'em.

Give them to me.

Oi, you lads, cut it out.

We was only messing about.

We're best mates.

Yeah, all right,

well, just calm down, all right?

Yeah.

Get back.

Get back, else I'll drop 'em.

- Give me them back.

- No. I just wanted to look.

If you want my watch...

..here you are. And bag.

I don't want your bag and watch, mate,

I just wanted to look.

I was only messing about.

Here.

Who's she?

She? Maria.

Maria?

- Pretty fit.

- She is.

Yeah.

Where's she from?

France, Paris.

So where are you from?

- Me?

- Yeah.

- From Poland.

- Oi!

What you doing?

You know it's private here?

Yeah, we do.

Clear off, then, or I'll call the police.

- Shut up!

- I'll get the police. Clear off!

- Bye.

- Hold on, man. Oi, wait!

Oh, my God, you look big!

- Hey, that's enough of that.

- Shut up!

- I'll remember your face.

- Yeah, whatever!

- Got a photographic memory.

- Yeah.

So, what happened to your face?

I got beat up last night

by three lads, down there.

They nicked my bag and everything.

Where do you live?

Erm, everywhere. Anywhere.

Just around here.

On the streets too?

Mm.

Where do you live?

In there, with my father.

Which one do you live in?

I'll come and call for you tomorrow.

I show you later.

What, d'you want me to come with you

to see your flat or your house?

I don't know. If you want.

Yeah?

What, your dad won't mind, will he?

What, he will mind or will he let me?

I don't know.

What's his name?

- Dad's name?

- Yeah.

Mariusz.

Cool. What's your name?

Oh, I'm Marek.

- Tomo. Nice to meet you, mate.

- Nice to meet you.

- Hey, Graham.

- How you doing, Marek?

- I'm OK, thank you.

- Nice to see you, mate.
