The Damned Page #3

---

Actually, you had your whole life to

make up your mind. When you jumped ...

...you jumped on a pure instinct, you know that.

- You might as well stop talking,...

...I'm not listening to you.

- Don't be childish Joan, you don't want that gang or...

...any part of them.

- And I don't want you either,...

...so shut up!

- Why to choose me yesterday?

Because you look as if you have money.

- Is that the only reason?

Why did you come back?

Damn you, damn you, damn you.

You are dirty, you're just

what King said you were.

I'm gonna get myself a

beer, do you want one?

I don't drink?

- King's rules?

Joan, I'm sorry.

I was clumsy and

brutal. It was my fault.

Will you forgive me?

- For what?

I want you to put me

ashore please, Simon.

What will you do about King?

That's my affair.

Look, I've got plenty of gas. We can

go anywhere in the south coast,...

...to France if you like

I don't speak French. Look,

why don't you go to France?

You can spend your life running away.

But I'd be running away from you.

But I have to live with what I got.

Please put me ashore.

You go back to the gang?

I know a place I can hide for

a while, until he cools off.

If you really want to go, I... There

is nothing I can do to stop you...

...but I wish you'd stay.

I won't have anybody to fight with.

Please put me ashore, Simon.

Pick me up at the Gloucester tree, will you Timothy?

- Very well, sir.

The bird in a guildered cage, ay Dingle?

More like a guildered bird

in a rather rusty cage.

These security chaps have the

imagination of prison wardens.

What destroys me is the

waste of all our talent.

Bernard was telling me of his last

visit to the minister, the other day.

"What kind of education?",

said that noble person.

Kind of education? Why,

my kind of education.

The fellow himself is a

practically illiterate.

What hurts you, Dingle, is the fact that

you can't accept somebody else's authority

if it were up to you, you'd turn

all our children to beatniks.

In the circumstances, would that matter?

Unfortunately we can't

predict the circumstances.

Self-reliance is really

all we can give them.

Self-reliant character gentility.

Do you think these values

will mean anything, Gregory?

Oh, I don't really think about

that sort of thing, dear boy.

You're the sort that built

the empire, don't you?

How did you do it without thinking?

I'm a little out of my debt,

I'm sure. but I had a shot at it.

Any.. bully could command obedience.

Only a gentleman could command loyalty.

Good morning!

- Good morning.

Draw the curtains, will you please, Dingle

- Yes sir.

11.55. Switch that thing on then.

Good morning, children.

Sit up, please. I hope we're not in
