- Look, look, mam.

No, it's more the sociology of the environmental that

I tend to...

- Oh, so you study us like poor people?

- No!

Well, tell me, copper...

what would you say if it was

a middle class situation, eh?

Do you say, "Go on, shoot,

I haven't studied you yet".

"Jump, I don't understand you

properly".

Cos that's what you did to me.

Aye, you may as well've

for all you did after I fell.

I'm sorry, all right?

I came, I came to say I'm sorry.

I get, I was scared. I get scared

in those situations!

I shouldn't have even been

doing the job in the first place.

But is it so unreasonable to leave

helping you to somebody else?

Well, yes!

Cos, like, everyone else

who comes here...

basically you were just looking

after yourself!

Goodbye.

Bye!

Come on, come on, Jake.

Pat!

Pat, are you going home?

Rosey, I'm off home.

You'll have to walk up

to the next floor, Pat.

You'll have to walk up to the next floor,

Pat. I won't stop here.

I'm getting the stairs, Rosey.

Come on you.

Hey you.

Hi ya. You okay?

- Wet.

- Go through to the bedroom.

- You okay, baby?

- No. I don't want to be wet.

You're all wet!

- Hey.

- Hey.

F***ing hell, Jan.

Are you okay?

When was it, last night?

Not after the radio?

F***ing bastards.

F***ing bastards!

Nearly all our clothes.

And all Jimmy's shoes.

He's only got his slippers left.

I just can't afford any new ones.

It's getting worse, Rosey.

Look.

He got it this morning.

He just got up and got it...

f*** knows where.

And old mate from one of the sites,

I don't know.

I swear, Rosey, if it happens again...

he'll shoot them.

- I won't tell you again, Kevin.

- Aye, man.

Where have you been?

Your mother's waited half an hour

to serve your dinner for yer.

- Where have you been?

- You can have me dinner!

I don't want your dinner!

You'll eat with us!

- It's okay, pet, we'll save it.

- But it's not okay, is it?

Because, look, he's banged the door

and the picture's gone crooked again.

That's the last time!

You understand now?

Great!

Where have you been?

This morning, eh?

Look, man, Jimmy.

We can move the picture.

We won't!

- Where have you been?

- I'm going out in a minute!

I don't care.

Where have you been?

- Jimmy.

- Leave it, pet!

- Look, we can fix it.

- We won't fix it!

It'll stay there and he'll

stop banging the door!

And he'll eat his dinner with us.

And he'll get out

and he'll get a f***ing job!

Where d'you want me, man?

In the house or out the house?

I want you out the house and earning.

What? Like you?

Kev, man, head on.

Kev, man, the lift.

Look, they don't stop here.

The doors are f***ed on both of them.

You all right?
