Bang, bang, bang, bang...

(CHEERING)

(MUSIC, CHEERING CONTINUE

IN DISTANCE)

You know, I lost a child too, Molly.

Your first victim, was it?

There's nothing more terrible

than losing a child.

It's enough to send you mad.

Wouldn't know.

I never had any myself.

Who's this?

Where did you get that?

(SIGHS) That's Madame Vionnet.

- Mm-hm.

- I used to work for her in France.

She probably died too.

(SIGHS) No, she's... she's still alive.

- Hmph.

- She's an old lady now.

A designer. She recommended me

to Balenciaga.

- Another victim.

- Another designer.

Maybe.

(GLASS SHATTERS)

Did she teach you how to sew?

No, you taught me to sew!

(BLOWS RASPBERRY) I can't sew.

I know you remember me, Mum!

Come on, just...

say my name.

Go on. Say it! Say my name.

You won't get me,

you murderous b*tch!

Oh! Oh! No.

Say my name! Say it! Say it!

Oh! Oh!

Stewart Pettyman!

(PANTS)

- (SIGHS)

- That's right.

You killed a boy. Broke his neck.

So now you know you are

a murderer, you are cursed,

so f*** off!

(FOOTSTEPS)

Am I, uh... interrupting?

Not at all.

No. Just taking a trip down

memory lane with Lizzy Borden here.

Uh... l want this one.

- You'll get what I give you.

- (CHUCKLES)

- Oh!

- (THUD!)

Come in.

MOLLY:
Gah!

15 shillings.

That's... that's outrageous.

So's your bum.

You know how to bargain,

Gertrude.

Free groceries for a week.

Information.

Like what?

Did you tell Stewart Pettyman

where I was hiding that day?

What day?

You know exactly what day.

Gertrude...

I can make you

the most striking girl in the room.

I told.

Sorry, Myrtle, but I figured

it was better you than me.

Does... does that mean

our deal's off?

(SIGHS) Take your clothes off.

A murderer and a lesbian.

(MEN SING DRUNKENLY)

BARNEY:
This one.

Open that one. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Oh, Teddy!

Ooh!

McSwiney! I got five quid that says

that you are too gutless!

- (BARNEY LAUGHS)

- TEDDY:
Five quid.

REGGIE:
Don't be scared.

They're only mice, mate.

- (BARNEY LAUGHS)

- They just wanna say hi.

TEDDY:
Five quid? Easy money!

(BARNEY CONTINUES LAUGHING)

Come on, Barney.

Are you a man or a mouse, McSwiney?

- Come on, Teddy.

- What do you reckon, Barney?

- Should I jump?

- Jump, Teddy!

- MEN:
Jump, jump, jump, jump!

- Look out for the mice.

REGGIE:
Are you too scared, mate?

Come on, Teddy! Come on, Teddy!

MEN:
Jump, jump, jump, jump!

Arggh!

Yeah! (LAUGHS)

Hey!

On your back, McSwiney!

On your back!

- Whoa!

- (CHEERING)

Look out below!

Reggie Blood coming through!

(LAUGHS)

Whoo!

(CHEERING)

TEDDY:
Come on down, boys!

(LAUGHS)

(GRUNTS)

(PANTS)

MOLLY:
I don't know why

you want this mirror.

It's filthy.

(GROANS)
