wipe off the face of the earth...

the industrial centers

of the United States.

The British government

has announced...

that nuclear missiles located on Royal

Air Force bases in the United Kingdom...

are capable of the ultimate

retaliation against any Soviet attack..

Did you hear that?

- What?

- About the missiles.

He always does that.

Especially with Schubert.

What do you think

I should say?

Who to?

Roland.

Why are you writing to Roland?

Well, I want to tell him

that I understand him.

You know, like sometimes

in your soul...

it's like you... you feel

someone else's pain.

I can't decide whether

to start...

with "Dear Roland"

or "Dearest Roland. "

What do you think?

# Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy

# Tutti frutti

# Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy

Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy

# Tutti frutti, oh, Rudy

# Got a gal named Sue

# She knows just what to do #

- Fancy a drink?

# I got a gal named Sue

# She knows just what to do

# She rock to the east

She rock to... #

Oh, Ginger.

You and Rosa.

Oh, go away!

You don't understand.

Ginger!

You came to my school.

I saw you.

My teacher told

me you said...

there should be more so-called

domestic science lessons.

Is that what this is all about?

How could you?

You wanted me to learn

housework... at school.

Listen, Ginger.

When I had you,

I was a teenager.

A teenager.

I didn't know how to

boil a bloody egg.

Roland never lifted a finger

to help with anything.

- That's not my fault!

- Listen to me.

I just don't want you

to struggle like I did.

But I'm never going

to have any babies.

Never.

I don't want to be like you!

So bugger off!

You and Rosa are

turning into little sluts.

Anyway, I'm going to

go live with Roland.

What are you

talking about?

Hello.

Is Roland in at all?

Follow me.

- Visitor, Roland.

- Thanks.

What a surprise.

Is everything all right?

Yes.

Absolutely.

Is Nat doing all right?

Not too many scenes or anything?

Not too many.

Good.

I'll put the kettle on.

Here, have a seat.

The thing is...

I was wondering...

Yes?

If, for example,

there was any room...

I mean, I don't know.

It may not be feasible at all.

- Room?

- Here.

Well.

Jesus, Ginger.

It's a bit of...

You, here?

I suppose I could ask Roger.

But look, you do realize,

of course...

I'm working more

or less nonstop...

and that this is a completely

unsuitable environment for you...

in every possible respect?

Absolutely.

Are you quite sure that this move

is a wise idea, Ginger?

How old were you when

you left home, Mark Two?

Well, I was about your age.

But I had to go.

My mother was an

absolute monster.

You see?

Nat is not a monster.

Not to you.

Anyway, Mark...
