Woman in a Dressing Gown Page #2

- I feel...

- I'll settle it.

You've said that so many times.

I'm not blaming you.

But you have said it over and over.

I want you to be sure.

I'm a lot older than you, Georgie.

I don't want you to make a mistake.

How can you say that?

You're all I want.

But I don't want part of you.

I hate all this hiding away.

I'll tell her, Georgie.

It's been a wonderful day.

It could be like this always.

I'll tell her.

I'll tell her tonight.

(Music playing)

- (Knocking at door)

- Hello?

- Hello, Amy.

- Harold's going to be late tonight.

- So, we'll meet at the pub, OK?

- Fine.

You're looking mighty pleased

with yourself. What's going on?

It's for Jimbo. Thought I'd surprise him.

- Ooh, looks good.

- Should be.

Cold ham, cold beef and cold pork.

Got it at the complete shop.

You can spend a week's money

in that place.

You're telling me.

I started to save for new curtains.

But a man likes a good meal of an

evening, especially before a few beers.

- Evening, Hilda. Hi, Mum.

- Hello, Bri.

Hope Dad won't be late for supper.

I've got to meet Christine.

- We've got tickets for Chris Barber.

- Sauces!

Bye-bye, now.

See you at the Cricketers.

I think Billy Dean might be playing

tonight, Mrs Jackson said.

Could have a bit of a singsong.

Jimbo likes a bit of a singsong.

(Crowd) # I'd like to meet him

With his new sweetheart

# Then up will go Antonio

And his ice-cream cart...

- There's nothing like those old songs.

- No, nothing.

- You all right now? Better?

- Yes, thank you.

Good.

Mrs Barker.

She had nasty turn. Heart.

What did you say?

I didn't say anything.

I was agreeing with you.

- Agreeing with me?

- About the old songs.

- You said there's nothing like 'em.

- No.

That's Billy Dean.

They say he's ever so good.

- He had an audition with the BBC.

- (Crowd singing)

# Oh, Antonio

# He's gone away

# Left me all alone-ee-oh

# All on my own-ee-oh...

What's the matter, Jimbo?

Do you want to go?

After this.

Why? Aren't you feeling well?

If you're not feeling well...

I'm all right.

Because if you're not feeling well,

we can go home now, this minute.

I'm all right.

I just want to talk to you, that's all.

What about? What about, Jimbo?

Not here.

- You're not in any trouble, are you?

- No, it's not that.

- Because if you're in any trouble...

- Come on, Amy. Drink up.

- Hello, Amy. Evening, Jim.

- Oh, hello, Harold.

- Saved you a seat.

- Thanks.

It's Billy Dean playing.

Oh, lovely.

- We can't go. Doesn't matter, does it?

- No, no, it's all right.

- You're sure? You're quite sure?

- It's all right. It doesn't matter.

Love you.

(Yawns) Honestly, I haven't enjoyed

myself so much in months. Honestly.
