Original subtitles

I mean, where did you get this bloody thing?

Well, Bagpipes. Of course.

This bloody campaign. I never see you

and you're not taking care of yourself.

You need to eat. Mm-hm.

Walter. Aggie, an empty bag cannot stand up.

What are you talking about?

Huh? Mmm.

I haven't got time for toast when Charles and his cronies

want to destroy our homes.

When am I gonna get my wife back, eh?

On Friday, after the vote.

But now I have to go.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Leave it, boy.

Don't forget Valy's special dinner tonight.

OK.

I love you.

I know.

It was cooler when Han Solo said it.

Who is that?

Oh. Can someone smell sausage rolls?

Uh, they're for the stall.

Oh, just one.

You can never stop at one.

They are the class A of baked goods.

(GIGGLES) Oh, someone smell sausage rolls?

(SIGHS) Alright, but ONE.

Mmm! Mmm!

Right, finish them and then you can help me put the stall out.

Stall? (SIGHS)

I'm starting to understand your school reports a bit more now, Dean.

Yes - the stall to remind people to vote yes on Friday.

Uh, why? This place is a dump.

Right, imagine this - you've got your gardens there...

None of that grey concrete. Ugh, gone.

Mmm

Try squinting, son.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm starting to sort of see it.

It'll be totally different. And WE'LL be totally different.

Half of that lot will be gone, won't be living in each other's pockets.

I like living in people's pockets.

Uh, gonna be late.

Can you go and get ready, please?

Ready?

You are our secret weapon. (GROANS)

Shame to see people leave, though, eh?

Yeah, but then we'll have a proper house.

Oh! What do you think?

I love it. (LAUGHS)

No, it's...it's OK. Leave it. It's dead, it's dead.

Why?!

Why, Lord? Why are you doing this to us, eh?

No yam but for dinner tonight, we've got ground nut soup...

Mm-hm. Jollof rice...

OK. Rice and peas...

Rice and spinach plasas...

So you think we need more rice? (LAUGHS)

Valy! This is a thing! Relax!

I've never met a boyfriend's family before.

Well, once, but he was such a commitment-phobe

he didn't even turn up.

Hey, well, I will definitely turn up tonight. It is in my flat, eh?

Oh, as long as that's not the only reason.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. I would never hurt you like that, you know?

Are you getting serious on me, Mr Easmon?

Heh. Because I like it.

You do? Mm-hm.

OK. Now give me some of this sugar, eh?

Mm... Work, work.

Eh, eh! Excuse me, nurse!

I think I might have a little infection.

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, serious like a heart attack, you.

Hey, hey! I can be serious.

Mm.

(DOOR CLOSES) I will show you.

Hi, can I, um...

Hello, can I... Excuse... Excuse me.

Oh. No to regeneration, eh?

Hi, can...can I give you a... Vote yes to regeneration!

Vote yes to regeneration!

Hey! Say yes to regeneration!

Thank you.

Vote yes to regeneration! Or have a sausage roll.

Vote yes to regeneration!

Hi, Ag. Fancy a sausage roll?

Mm.

Best pastry for 21.7 miles.

Well, that is very specific.

Yeah, well, the Admiral Rodney in Basildon does a steak and kidney pie

I would literally give a kidney for for my pie.

Where did you get these banners from?

Charles gave us 'em.

Charles?

Reminding people that regeneration's a good thing.

Is it?

What? People getting to own their own homes? Yes!

Most people can't afford the homes they are building.

Well, that's true, innit?

Well, then they'll get a brand-new council home instead.

Yeah, they've thought of everything.

But they can't guarantee they will rehouse them here.

Not ideal, is it?

All I want is a nice place for Melissa and Dean to grow up.

Is that so wrong?

Just have a sausage roll and get on board like everybody else, Ag.

No, I don't think I'll be doing that.

I'll have one.

The final countdown...

(YAWNS)

Am I bothering you?

Sorry. Uncle Akie had me plastering his garage last night.

You can plaster? No, I can't.

Well, stop going, then.

That's exactly what I said to him, you know?

Your uncle's taking the piss.

He'll grass me up.

(CLUCKS LIKE A CHICKEN)

(LAUGHS)

You don't know Africans.

Destroying their enemies and bathing in their tears,

it's like a hobby to them.

Well, a real man would sort it.

But if you ain't a real man...

(LAUGHS)

Oh, Jesus.

I'll sort it! Kez, I'll sort it!

It's not funny.

(PUFFS) I am doing my caliti... Calisti...

Uh... I am doing my exercises. Go around the back.

Yeah, no, um... I've, um, come to tell you

that I'm not working for you no more.

Is that so?

Yeah. I've paid off my debt.

But what of your debt to the Lord?

Yeah, I think it will be fine.

So you know the mind of God now?

Oh, well, I was trying to teach you some respect

without troubling your father, but not...

Yeah? Well...well, tell him, then!

I will.

I will call him now!

Good!

See if I care! Here!

I go tell your papa the whole thing!

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! The skipping school!

The motor car! And your nasty, nasty mouth!

(CLEARS THROAT) So, um...

Uh, when do you think Agnes will get here?

I don't know. No matter how many times you keep asking me.

I'm sure she'll be here soon.

For God's sake.

(PHONE RINGS) Oh, thank Jah. I'll get it.

OK, Kobna, sit up, you look like somebody has stolen your spine.

Walter, you...

Hey, that is, uh... very perfect, eh?

Oh! Family, I'm so sorry I'm late.

Eh! You know, the yes campaign have been bribing people

with sausage rolls.

No wonder you're bloody late.

OK? Huh? What's wrong? OK, OK, let's all get settled.

Now that we are all here... Finally.

Hey, better late than never, huh?

It's bad enough that we don't see you, now this.

I have already apologised for being late.

OK, I think you both need to work harder on your whispering.

I think you need to work harder on minding your own business.

It's not a big deal.

No, no, it is. I wanted tonight to be perfect.

But I forgot, eh - we are the Easmons.

However, now that we are all here,

there is something I would like to say.

What the f... I've been skipping school

and I bought a car and I crashed it

and Uncle Akie's been making me pay off the damage

and now I'm his slave.

Uh...anybody for Viennetta?

Morning.

Oh... Uh, I'm OK.

I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to, uh, wake you.

Yeah, I can see that.

Look, do we need to talk?

Talk? About what? Huh?

About you proposing eternity together?

Eesh... Just to avoid

a slightly awkward dinner.

That is not the reason I asked you.

You are the one keep telling me to be serious.

Serious? That wasn't serious.

I've had more serious bowel movements.

I should get going.

No, no, don't go yet.

Look, we are fine, everything is fine.

Valy, please. You haven't even got your shoes on.

I don't need them.

Actually, maybe I should take these in case.

You want some breakfast?

I want the last four weeks back.

Huh?

What are we going to do about Kobna?

I blame that bloody Jamaican he's been gallivanting with.

I have completely missed what's happening to our son.

Well, we both have, but I still blame the Jamaican.

You know, I'm coming home.

I'm going to cancel this Eastbridge campaign.

Aggie, Aggie, no, no, no, you cannot sit by the fire

without watching the sun rise.

What does that mean? I dunno, but listen...

Walter! Why do you always talk in riddles?

Aggie, win the vote or all of this will be in vain.

And what about Kobna?

Ah, no, no, no, just save our homes. I will look after Kobna.

OK? OK.

I'm actually quite impressed.

Thanks, Dad.

Not that impressed.

You should have come and talked to me about it.

I wanted to handle it.

That's what a man does, right?

Huh, so do you think a man gets his strength from his fists?

No, he gets it from his family.

Aha!

I just didn't wanna disappoint you.

Listen, Kobna, you could never disappoint your daddy,

you understand?

Huh?

That's not true, is it?

No, it's not true, because if you do it again

I will send you to Dr Barnardo's.

Go to school.

What's my licks? Your licks?

You can start with apologising to your mother.

The rest of it, we will see.

Go on.

No! Who's done this?!

Oh, love, a cat must've got in.

A cat? With thumbs?

This is Agnes!

Nah, nah. You...you don't know that.

Babe!

Babe!

Listen, let's not go rushing in accusing her of anything.

You ruined my stall stuff, you cow!

Cow? Tiny bit accusey.

I don't know what you're talking about. I did not touch your stuff.

Yeah, right. Couldn't handle it that we're winning people over to yes.

Oh, please. You can't even change your own husband's mind.

Uh, unlike yours, mine's fully on board.

Oh... Aren't you, babe?

Babe! Uh, yes, babe?

Bloody hell. Why didn't you tell me this before?

Well, there hasn't really been the time.

This has been going on for weeks.

Like I say, there hasn't been the time.

It was me, alright?

I did it.

You want everything to change

but you don't even know what it's gonna be like

and I don't want to lose Kobna.

I... I'm gonna kill you!

Wait, stop it, stop it!

Look at us, huh?

Look at what this is doing to us.

I don't care about no vote if it means we lose each other.

Oh, fuck a duck.

Logistically impossible.

Look, neighbours, friends, family, we shouldn't be fighting.

We should be coming together, huh?

Sorry. And do you know what?

Eh... I've got an idea.

Lean on me

When you're not strong

I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

Till I'm gonna need

(BOTH LAUGH) Somebody to lean on

Please, swallow your pride...

Walter?

Akie.

You wanted to see me? Yeah.

Sounds like Kobna has been doing some work for you.

Some? More like a little.

Oh, a little.

A little plastering, a little tiling and a little decorating.

And a little cleaning your toilet.

Ah! What?

Yeah, he made me clean it.

I was just trying to teach him some principles, Walter.

Akie, that is my job, OK?

But the work has been done, so subtract the damage to your car,

I would say you owe my boy 200 squid.

Two hun...?! Mm-hm.

I don't owe him any money! He smashed into me!

And between you and me, he's probably smoking that diamba

and, uh, listening to hippy-hop music.

Do you know he truanced from school?

There is no secrets between me and my son.

Ah.

So what do you want from me?

Man like me doing this sort of job, eh?

Your father supporting you.

Yes? It's clean, Kobna.

I think I should stop now, eh?

This car isn't even drivable.

It's the principle, bruv. Eh? Eh?

Our house In the middle of our street

Our house

In the middle of our street

Our house in the middle of our street

Our house in the middle of our street.

Thank you very much. You've been a lovely audience. Thank you!

I didn't know you can sing like this.

I don't know what came over me.

Go, Agnes! Wow.

Hey, go Eastbridge. Go Eastbridge!

Hey! These naughty bastards are quite more-ish.

Yeah, let's get some more. I'll have a naughty bastard.

So am I. (ALL LAUGH)

Vic, why are you not wearing your hearing aid?

What?

My first real old-fashioned, uh, knees-up.

Uh, thank you so much for inviting me.

Oh, and thank you for the food.

Oh, no, no, not a problem.

I just thought I could only manage a few snacks.

Hey, you and me should think about working together.

Yeah. Yeah, that's an idea, isn't it?

What could you make? I dunno. Curried sausage rolls.

Here, Frank, I need a pen!

Hey, what about Cornish bhajis?

Oh, sweet Jesus!

Frank! Now!

Hey!

Hello.

I know you don't wanna talk about it and...

But I really don't wanna talk about it.

But should we talk about it?

What? Fuck's sake, come here.

Listen, about last night, Valy, I was flattered, I was,

but considering you're a DJ, your timing is fucking diabolical.

Maybe, but all I know is that I have never felt like this before.

Neither have I.

I realised that when you left this morning.

But we have to take it slow. Mm.

Yeah? Slow.

Get it right.

OK, but I only have two speeds - on or more on.

I know, and it is adorable and annoying.

But my mum said if it's real then it'll be there tomorrow.

Hey, I will be there tomorrow.

That's all I want, for now.

Mm-hm.

Mm. You know, we are never inviting my family to dinner again.

Mm-mm. Unless, uh, Agnes is cooking because I believe she...

Oh, what? Do you, uh...? Mm-hm.

OK. Let me show you my collection.

Our house is a very, very, very fine house

With two cats in the yard

Life used to be so hard

Now everything is easy 'cause of you

I'll light the fire

While you place the flowers in the vase that you bought

Today.

(APPLAUSE, CHEERING) Thank you very much.

You're very kind.

Oh, I think Agnes is gonna give us a song?

No, no, no. Mistaken. No. What a treat.

Everyone, Agnes Easmon!

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

You know, when I first came to London, eesh!

It was so cold, and I'm not just talking about the weather,

it was a strange and an unfriendly place and certainly not home,

until we came here.

Hey! (LAUGHS)

Eastbridge Estate made me and my family feel so warm

and so welcome.

Somehow in this big city, we managed to find a village.

All of us here are so very different

but somehow none of us is an outsider, huh?

This is a priceless gift.

No matter what happens with the vote, I am so very thankful,

and blessed to have met you all.

I've found such a happiness here

and I know I will take this place with me wherever I go.

Thank you.

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

Oh, oh, oh and remember, vote before 6pm tomorrow.

Mm?

Yes!

Here, cheers. That was wicked, Mum.

Yeah, very rousing. You could be the next prime minister.

Aggie Thatcher.

No, I think the people have heard enough of my voice for a while.

Well, I have not.

Look at them. They're going to be voting, huh?

Every woman, every man

Join the caravan of love

Stand up, stand up, stand up

Everybody take a stand

Join the caravan of love

Stand up, stand up, stand up

I'm your brother

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

I wonder what's taking so long.

Good evening. ladies and gentlemen. I apologise for the delay.

So without further ado...

Ah, well, I was hoping for further ado.

Didn't we work with him once? Eh, I knew a Father Ado once.

When you have quite finished...

OK, yeah, just read the votes.

OK. Without further ado, the results of the vote.

Those in favour of the development, which will see a demolition

of the Eastbridge Estate, 142 votes.

That is a lot of votes.

Those against the demolition, also 142 votes.

Wait, wait, but that is a draw. A draw?

Come on, mate, you got to recount. What will happen to the estate?

Do we still get rehoused? What's going to happen now?

(ALL MURMUR AND TALK SIMULTANEOUSLY)

What is going to happen now? Huh? I don't know.

You made me take off my...

Isn't that your...?

(WHISPERS) That's my...my voting slip!

I forgot to vote.

You can go the distance We'll find out

In the long run

In the long run

We can handle some assistance

If our love is a strone one

Is a strong one

People talking about us They got nothing else to do

When it all comes down, we will still come through

In the long run

Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run...
