I Promised to Pay Page #3

Will you excuse me?

Excuse us.

Did you bring the plans?

N- not in here.

- Why not?

Well, someone might hear us.

- What, with all this noise going on?

I - I - I couldn't get them.

Why not?

It's impossible. There's always someone in the...

- Now, you listen to me, Pearson!

Your Mr Mellors

has quite a way with him.

Oh, he's not my Mr Mellors -

I've got a husband.

Oh, I see...

- Sure you do.

You got any kids?

- No. You?

No.

I'd have a kid at the drop of a hat,

only my husband's in America.

And he took his hat with him?

I don't see how I can do it.

Now look, I'll give you twenty-four hours

to get those plans, you understand?

Just twenty-four hours.

It's too risky.

- Everything's risky.

Getting up in the morning is risky

or going to bed at night.

Well? You boys taken over

the coal mines?

Hmm? Oh, yeah that's right,

isn't it, Pearson?

Well, er, what about

that dance now, Mrs Pearson?

'Scuse us.

- Mind you bring him back!

MUSIC:
"It happens every day"

by Tony Osborne

Do you think sex is here to stay?

I can't breathe.

Mr Mellors, is this

the regulation distance?

Hmm... Well, er, that depends

on who's doing the regulating.

Mr Mellors, has anyone ever told you

you belong on a leash?

Hmm.

Will that be all, Mr Pearson?

- Yes, yes, thank you.

Good night.

Still at it?

Yes. I, er, got a bit behind in my work.

I thought I'd stay late and catch up.

I know what you're up to, me lad.

Well, proving to the 'powers that be'

how industrious you are.

Well, good night, Dennis.

- Night.

TENSE MUSIC:

Oh, Mr Pearson!

I've got to copy these right away.

Well, I've got a lot of work to do...

- Mr John is waiting for these.

Oh.

- You don't mind, do you?

TENSE MUSIC:

Have you nearly finished?

- I won't be a minute.

I'm late for my date as it is.

There you are, Mr Pearson.

It's all yours.

Thank you.

Good night.

- Good night.

Still at it, Pearson?

- Yes...

Yes, I, er... I shan't be long now.

Good night.

- Good night.

JOHNNY:

They turn first - then park facing North.

Make a note of that.

- Check...

BERT:

Cop situation as before.

Yeah. Huh-huh, look at them!

BLACKIE:

Hey, cut the natter, lads.

Have you got no respect

for a hundred thousand quid?

They bolt the wheel-lock first,

then the outer lock.

Driver in. The guard throws the switch

that completes the circuit.

From now on, she's live.

Turn on the radio, Monty.

RADIO CAB VOICE:
All drivers in the vicinity

of Northumberland Street and Haymarket...

You've got the Radio Cabs.

Tune it in properly.

RADIO CAB VOICE:
All drivers in the vicinity...

BERT:
They're moving!

One minute and ten seconds.

DB4 here. Come in, please.
