The Stars Look Down Page #2

- You kidded us about those plans.

- I kidded nobody.

There are plans of those old workings.

I saw them in Barras's office.

Nobody's getting me there. I'm not

going to drown myself to keep Barras fat.

- Get off with you!

- I'll pay you back for this!

You won't work

then you come after charity!

If my missus pegs out,

I'll slit your throat!

I'll put the police onto you!

You talk of the police as if you own them!

- What is it, Will?

- My missus has got pneumonia.

- Doctor says she's to have beef tea.

- Why shouldn't she?

Right. Ramage's have got tons of beef.

Just a bit of bone, I says, and I'll pay you

the minute the strike's over.

- What did he say?

- Chased me out with his cleaver.

- There's not a woman he's not insulted.

- And he's got booze. Dad?

We'll tell him what we think of him

and get that beef for Will's wife.

Come on, lads!

Help yourselves.

- Hurry or there won't be a thing left...

- Where's the booze?

How much do you want?

Stop it, you fools!

This is the worst thing you can do.

- Stop it!

- My missus is starving!

Put that back!

You must be daft. Leave that be!

The sergeant!

- Fenwick!

- There's another one in there.

- # The heart that never rejoices... #

- How are you going?

He started it, and his woman's been

a nuisance. I saw him egging them on.

- I never did nothing.

- I bet he didn't either.

- Leave him alone.

- Come along with me.

- You saw it all?

- I did.

- You'd better come along.

- Drinking like that.

# Down the mine, the beautiful mine... #

I saw a pale horse. His name was Death

and Hell followed with him.

Another horse was red and power was

given to him to take peace from the earth.

Another horse that was red and power was

given to him to take peace from the earth.

- How again, Wept?

- Hello, Joe.

- I beheld a black horse...

- Got one for the Derby?

...he that sat on him held a pair of balances

and I looked and beheld a pale horse...

(SHOUTING)

Three months we've had of it!

Good job we've shown some sense

or it'd be another three months!

Longer!

I'm the last man to say owt

about Bob Fenwick, but it's got him in jail!

We never had no choice!

We never had no...

You'll get drowned!

Just stand out a few more weeks.

- A few more weeks?

- You said that when it started!

Kind of you to sympathise with my father,

but you're turning the men against him.

If Barras loses the contract for coking coal,

we won't have to work Scupper Flats.

We're the ones who've got to work coking coal!

- You're going to that posh college!

- Get back where you belong!

And what am I going to do in that college?

Educate myself to fight for my own kind!
