JAMIE:
Come on, Alfie, let's go 'ome now.

This place is givin' me the willies.

Home? What do you want to go 'ome for?

It's nearly 5:
00.

My daughter Eliza'll be along soon.

She ought to be good for 'alf a crown

for a father that loves 'er.

That's a laugh.

You ain't been near 'er for months.

What's that got to do with it?

What's 'alf a crown after all I've give 'er?

When did you ever give 'er anythin'?

Anythin'? I give 'er everythin'.

I give 'er the greatest gift

any human being can give to another:

Life!

I introduced 'er to this here planet, I did,

with all its wonders and marvels.

The sun that shines, the moon that glows.

Hyde Park to walk through

on a fine spring night.

The 'ole ruddy city o' London to roam

around in sellin' 'er bloomin' flow'rs.

I give 'er all that.

Then I disappears and leaves 'er

on 'er own to enjoy it.

If that ain't worth 'alf a crown

now and again...

...I'll take my belt off and give 'er what for.

You got a good 'eart.

But you want a 'alf a crown out o' Eliza...

...you better have a good story.

ALFIE:
Leave that to me, my boy.

- Good mornin', George.

- Not a brass farthin'.

Not a brass farthin'.

There she is.

Why, Liza, what a surprise.

Hop along, Charlie, you're too old for me.

- Don't you know your daughter?

- You don't know what she looks like.

I know 'er, I know 'er.
