(0.00 / 0 votes)(man) Why should I care?
Why shouldn't I
Sit down and try to
let it pass over me?
Why should they stare?
Why should I let it get me?
What's the use of despair
If they call you a square?
You're a long time dead
like my old pal Fred
So why oh why should I
Bother to?
If they see that you're blue
they'll look down on you
So why oh why should I
Bother to care?
Thank God I know more
Why oh why should I
Bother to care?
God bless you.
- I haven't seen him on the TV. Have you?
- What's that?
- I've not seen him on TV.
- Who?
Archie Rice.
It's only a lot of daft girls
standing about with nothing on.
- Come on, Father.
- He looks daft.
- Will you come on when I tell you?
- He's never been on TV.
Granddad!
Granddad! Granddad!
- Hello, Granddad.
- Jean! I wondered who it was.
- I'm sorry if I startled you.
- I didn't know who it was.
- I was miles away.
- It's good to see you.
It's good to see you, my darling.
Give your grandfather a kiss.
- Give me your case.
- I can manage.
Hold your bloody noise.
Your stepmother's in
one of her moods so I came out.
I can't stand rows with Phoebe any more,
so I come and sit on the pier.
Albert. Take care of this for me, will you?
- This is my granddaughter.
- Have you come to see your dad?
Thank you. Come on.
- Who's that?
- Archie Rice's daughter.
It's good to see you.
How long are you going to stay?
Just a few days, I expect.
- Have you heard from young Mick?
- Yes, he's fine.
He'll be all right. But it's a nasty
business to get mixed up in.
They seem to do what they like
to us nowadays.
I went to the rally last Sunday.
- What for, for God's sake?
- I don't know.
about a lot of things lately.
You want to have your bloody head read.
- That's more or less what Graham said.
- Graham?
My fianc.
(horn)
- Can we go now, miss?
- All right.
Paints and brushes on this table
and paintings over here.
(mouths)
(rock 'n' roll music from next room)
- Finished?
- Yes, miss.
Don't you want to go and dance?
You don't have to go if you don't want to.
Good night.
Here, watch out where you're going!
- Am I late?
- (wolf-whistle)
No, his train doesn't leave for an hour.
You were making a lot of noise.
Well, my little social worker,
what was it tonight?
The bicycle-chain ball
or the flick-knife excuse-me?
Can't see the soldier brother off
to the wars with a long face like that.
No, I should look pleased
about it, shouldn't I?
How do you think you could ever
make anything out of those monsters?
Don't let's do this again.
You are never going to do anything
with those sort of people.
Don't talk to me about
those sort of people.
If it weren't for your sort of people
still in other people's countries,
my brother wouldn't be
going off to fight.
- The telegram came at breakfast.
- Why didn't they wait till February?
Oh, I don't know.
Well... up the flag, Mick.
Here's to you.
Let's hope it's a false alarm.
Thank you.
- You're leaving tonight?
- No, they're flying us out in the morning.
It's nice of you to come and see me off.
- Off to defend the Empire.
- My queen and country need me.
I wish I could think it was funny.
Give him a break. He'll be all right.
Jean's always taken everything seriously.
I've always taken it as it comes,
but not Jeannie.
Cheer up, love. Life isn't as bad as all that.
Even if it is, there's nothing we can do.
I must be off.
- Come on.
