Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll Page #6

It means you gotta do it for yourself.

Being the underdog with nothing to lose

is the best place to start.

l'm doing pretty good at the moment,

you know. Yeah?

I got one or two proper deals

on the go. Money owed.

I got a nice penthouse in Old Victoria,

I'm happy with me digs.

You should come and see me.

Would you like that?

Would you? Yeah, I'd like that.

# My old man #

Dad? Dad?

-What time is it?

-Lunchtime.

-Is that your mum?

-It's the school on the phone.

It's the headmistress.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

This is Baxter's headmistress.

ls that Mr Dury?

Yes. Mr Dury speaking. Yes.

Are you aware

that Baxter had school today?

-Mmm-hmm.

-Do you understand?

Yeah. No, no, I do understand, yes.

Yeah, of course.

l'm sure l don't need to tell you

how important it is.. .

Yeah, no, I do understand, yes.

Yes. Okey dokey, yes.

Well, it's all very well

saying you understand,

but this is your son's future

we're talking about.

Mmm-hmm.

-Your wife told me about.. .

-Mmm-hmm. Well.. .

And l want you to know that l'm not. ..

You know what? He was right.

You are a bit of a stuck-up old cow.

-l beg your pardon? How dare you?

-Tiddley poo, madam.

Snotty old maggot, she is.

Put on the kettle, will you?

Ta.

-Where's Denise?

-She's gone out.

You're gonna have to help me

put me leg on, then.

Right, if you could. .. Come here.

Let me swing round, I'll put my arm

round you. After three. One,

two, three.

That's it.

See me new leg? Look at that.

Phwoar.

Been waiting for that for ages.

Beautiful.

You do that one, I'll do this one.

Get this underneath.

I'm still getting used to it

myself, actually.

See what your old man has to go

through every day? What a palaver.

Dear Jemima, l've been working

with a man called Chaz.

If we do weIl, we wilI have

disgusting ice cream.

lf we don't, we will cry.

Boo-hoo! l can't wait for you

to meet Denise.

You should come up

and visit sometime.

Baxter's turning into

a right little geezer.

Always keep a strong heart

in case of sadness.

Love, your charming father,

Dad, Nebbish, Clot.

I'm going

to disagree with Nigel.

The real shock here

is the whole Sex Pistols

swearing on television,

Bill Grundy being sacked,

it all turning into some sort

of moral panic.

l mean, these boys are the future.

They're the voice

of a young generation.

F***ing Sex Pistols. Bollocks.

And he nicked my razorblade-earring

idea and all, didn't he?

Turn it off, Den, will you?

l'm sorry, Nigel, l'm sorry.

If you get bitter,

you have a strong heart. Remember?

Never let it be said

that my failure went to me head.

"Swearing on the television

"is not funny and not f***ing clever!"
