You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

I don't know how you dare.

Eat your breakfast, Tilly, it'll be cold.

It's all right.

Don't you mind what Ruby says.

She's not herself these days.

Same with most of us, I suppose.

People's nerves aren't what they used to be.

- Let me warm it up for you.

- Doesn't matter.

You must eat. Anything else you fancy?

You go upstairs and have a lie-down.

I'll see if I can find you an aspirin.

How about that?

Leave me alone, for heaven 's sake!

I'm fed up, see!

- Tilly.

- I'm tired of everybody watching me all the time,

imagining things, getting at me.

Nagging, nagging, nagging!

Jim...

An 'andsome couple I'd call 'em. Not half!

You ought to be getting into the carriage.

Just nice time to kiss the bride.

WOMAN:
He's off again!

Oh. This ain't Waterloo, it's heaven itself.

I told you not to have another glass.

If you're hinting I'm sloshed, you're wrong.

That's a pleasure to come when they open.

Come on, lads, kiss the bride. That's right.

Very nice, too. Good luck, Tilly.

- Can I throw it now?

- No.

(Whistle blows)

- You're off.

- Bye, Mum.

- All aboard now.

Come on, young Colter.

You're holding up the railway.

Come on, guard, lock 'em in.

- Lummy, look here.

- A present from the company.

Three cheers for the Southern Railway.

Gertcha.

Have a good honeymoon.

Don't be late in the morning.

If you can't be good, be careful.

Have I said anything?

Stand away now.

ALL:
Goodbye!

I knew a bloke got rumbled

a whole week after his wedding.

That better?

Yeah. Turn around.

OK.

What are you thinking, Jim?

Er... I don't know.

I was just... wondering.

What?

What are we going to do with this?

We could leave it under the seat.

Yeah, I suppose we could.

What were you wondering, Jim?

Do you feel the same as I feel?

When I look at you, I mean?

How do you feel?

My stomach sort of turns over.

Oh. Does it?

Same with me too.

Honest?

- I never knew love went to the stomach before.

- Neither did I.

You live and learn, I must say.

- We must be nearly passing the house now.

- Yeah, that's right.

Any minute now.

Another 50 yards, Till.

There it is, see?

That's the one, next to the end.

It looks good, doesn't it?

Lt'll be lovely having a place of our own.

Pity we've got to wait before we can move in.

They'll soon have it ready for us, Till.

Funny being in the hands of so many people,

isn't it?

How do you mean, Jim?

I don't know. Hire purchase for all those years.

Ansells for the furniture and the building society.

Who cares? We'll manage, you'll see.

The Electric Light Company and the wireless.

Maybe a pram sooner or later.

Yeah. Yeah.

I suppose we will have to take that into account.
