None But the Lonely Heart Page #5

---

I'm glad

i ran into you.

Are you?

I need 2 pounds' worth

of clock repairs.

I'm on me way

to liverpool.

Oh.

Don't they use money

in liverpool anymore?

A gent!

Ah, ancient history.

"To edward from mary,

with love."

You know, ike,

give me good old

quiet machinery anytime.

She wants a quid on this

- an old lady.

Give it to her, an old lady, mr. Lesser.

Everything

with a kiss.

Clocks. Clocks.

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

Did you ever realize

your mother was,

once upon a time,

maybe the most

beautiful woman

in the east end

of london?

In the old days,

i mean.

What about it?

Excuse me if i put a flea in your ear.

Your mother is

a very sick woman.

You owe me 2, ike.

Pay it.

I'll be on my way.

Does she have a pain

for her no-good son?

Your mother is not a

superficial woman, mr. Mott.

When she gets ill,

she gets ill.

What is it?

Cancer.

I recommend you not

to say a word to her.

Everything with a kiss.

What are you

laughing about, son?

Are you laughing?

Huh?

Thought i heard

you laughing.

Seems like

i saw you before.

Wasn't it the other

night in westminster?

What's your name,

son?

Ernie mott.

As the bacon

said to the egg,

"so pleased

to meet you."

Henry twite's

my name.

Ernest verdun mott.

That's mine,

if you want it all.

How did you come by a

rare, old title like that?

Me father-

he rolled up there at

verdun in the last war.

A friend of mine

put something in my ear,

and i can't

get it out.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Been drinking,

have you?

Lor lummey,

you got it bad.

I know all about

trouble, i do.

Son of my bosom,

that's what you are.

Son of your nothing.

I'm a lone wolf,

barking in a corner,

plain disgusted with

a world i never made

and don't want

none of.

There's the river, boy. Help yourself.

Don't like water

neither, i see.

Ah, that's

different, that is.

Sweating like that

on a night like this,

you'll catch your

death of double ammonia.

Come along with me to a

place where it's warm and dry.

Here we are, dad.

Echo! Echo! Echo!

I'll see you

soon again.

Echo!

What for, dad?

Maybe help you

to get

more adjusted to your environment.

Now, wait.

Why not help

my environment

get more

adjusted to me?

Follow that?

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Verdun,

you're drunk.

You are.

Oh, i am that, dad.

Echo! Echo! Echo!

oh, starry night

oh, starry night

dee dee dee dee

deedle-dee di

oh, well.

Say good night.

See you soon.

And me feet killing me.

Good night, dad.

Night, verdun.

Echo, echo, echo.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Changed my mind.

Home to stay.

Less said,

the better.

Knock off that piping.

Get up to ma tate's

and get some grub.

Spirit of

the morning, ma.
