Young Adam Page #2

Synopsis: Joe, a rootless young drifter, finds work on a barge travelling between Glasgow and Edinburgh, owned by Les and his wife Ella. One afternoon they discover the corpse of a young woman floating in the water. Accident? Suicide? Murder? As the police investigate and suspect is arrested, we discover that Joe knows more than he is letting on. Gradually we learn of Joe's past relationship with the dead woman. Meanwhile an unspoken attraction develops between Joe and Ella, heightening the claustrophobic tensions in the confined space of the barge.

Let make it quick

Go, Joe.

I don't want to see you

Go

Look what you've done

Give it to me

It's broken

Hello, Joe.

Hello, Cathie.

What are you doing here?

- I'm working here by the river

- You are working?

Joe Taylor condescend to mix

with the working class?

I don't take any pride in it

I see you never made it to China

- Your flat is still there?

- Yes

I've got a flatmate now

Is she nice?

I don't see her much

Why barge, Joe?

Tou can find work more glamorous

Just sort of have it, really

- What about you, you still at the office?

- Yes

Nothing's really changed

Except us

- What did you do with my stuffs?

- I thrown them away

As you told me to

I thought I would never see you again

- Hi gentlemen

- Go, Joe.

- You sure?

- I'm scaling a little

It'll get hot in an hour

Joe, get some sacs of coal

- Tim!

- Easy said than done

We continue?

Put it in the back of the truck, Joe.

- It's in your truck now

- Thanks

What about the boy

- Will you come to see him?

- He'll be back in school again next week

I have some surprise for you

A banana!

- What should you say?

- Thank you, uncle Sam.

- Thanks

- Wlll you tal about the naked lady?

- Yes, some pervert has donr it

- Me and Jor found her

- You're jocking

- We called the police

Will you stop talking about this?

All talk about it

Drink your tea

Say bye to your dad

- Bye, dad

- Bye, son. Take care of yourself

- Take care

- Bye

You're sad about Tim?

He needs an education.

But when he goes away I broke my heart

Think of me when you look at yourself.

With undying love, C.

I had a dream about you yesterday

I don't think for months

- I think you have gone away

- I had gone away

I shed my own skin and hide in the frog

I am pregnant

it's your

Two months has gone

- Two months and you wanted me out of your life?

- This isn't going to happen

Is there anything you want me to do about it?

I just thought you should know who

you coud marry me and we'll make

wonderful babies together

Kid is not exactly I see it

Why not, Joe? What are you afraid of?

There's a kid in the barge and I spent every

moment I want to kick him out of the sight

You don't have to be like that

We'll work out intelligently

It's not about us

It's about what kids do to people

Cathie,I am not someone you want to marry

and you know that

- Have you been seeing anyone else?

- It's your child, Joe.

That doesn't answer my question

His name is Dan, he's a plumber

He's nice but I'm not really interested in him

- He's married anyway

- That's why you said it's mine

It's true

I have to get back to the barge

Don't run away, we can sort it out together

No, we can't. I'm not your anymore
