All language subtitles for The Comic Strip s02e07 Slags

This is the story of the end of my
generation.

It's my story, and it's probably a lot
like a lot of stories that have been

by kids like me since the beginning of
time.

We lived in a world of harsh cruelty, a
world that had

stricken from its memory the morality of
the past.

It was a time of night.

Not a time of day.

Death had become a way of life.

You had to fight to survive.

Can we have a starling back, mister?

When I was your age, I wouldn't have
missed.

And you started young.

We were just a group of mixed -up kids
who got involved with a lot of other

mixed -up kids in something that
couldn't last.

I remember when the end began.

It was summer, and the slugs were coming
out.

Passion and Little Sister, leaders of
the slugs.

Move it, slammer. Go kiss yourself.

No, I can't, slammer. You're making a
big mistake.

This won't take long.

Come on, slammer. You should know
better.

You're just licking.

Rules are no one ever leaves this place.
Those bitches don't get out so easily.

Good behaviour.

Don't make me laugh.

They like to act bad.

They were getting out because they
always got what they wanted.

Where are they?

Up here.

They're supposed to be here to meet us.

Yes, I knew. I knew that it was a
secret, so you must have known that it

secret. A secret I knew.

God, you're giving me a real buzzing
pain in my head.

They're supposed to be here to meet us.

No one had met them at the gate.

No one would have dared.

We're going to have trouble walking all
the way in those shoes.

In those high -heely, hikey -spikey
shoes.

In those stiletto wettos.

High -heely -winkle -pick -a -licker
shoes.

What do you do? Oh, nice.

Oh, do you want a sweetie?

Little girls, have a sweetie.

You know me.

Crippledick. Art's crippled dick. All
lovely, firm, white, creamy flesh. Do

want to put your bum on my cloth bar?

Get a hold of yourself.

No.

No. No. No. It's a mistake. I didn't do
it.

It's wrong. I didn't do it. It's wrong.
It's a mistake. I didn't do it. It's

wrong.

They were back.

Back on the street and heading back to
the colony.

They had been away a long time.

And a lot had changed.

What's this?

What happened?

It's the Hawaiians.

Yes, a lot had changed.

After Passion and Little Sister had been
put away, we had been run out of our

own precinct by the Hawaiians.

They chewed us up really easily.

I guess that without Passion and Sister,
the rest of us just didn't have any

reason to fight back.

It was different when they were here.

We could do as we pleased.

They made you want to act bad.

You should have seen us then.

This was Squealer.

He was a working medicine chef.

They say his mother kept him in a
freezer box when he was a baby. They

didn't know.

Thought I wouldn't know. I never would.
But I did. And I told everyone.

And I laughed. And I really, really
laughed.

And they thought, he's not laughing at
anything.

And I wouldn't tell them what I was
laughing at.

And they would never know.

Boy Madness.

The scientist.

The engineer.

He was totally unsafe.

He was a quiet boy who lived with his
mother.

Few knew him well.

Not many knew him long.

And then there was Marlon.

He was really cool.

He had the girl.

Hey, baby.

We were all nearly 18 at the time.

Marlon was 30.

We didn't know.

We didn't look it.

Then she cracked the whip. I came
running.

How much for baby food?

Not much for Christmas.

No,

please. Please don't touch my baby.

Please don't touch my baby.

Stupid imbeciles.

We go away for one second and this is
what happens.

Horrible, horrible music.

I don't want this to happen.

Why has it?

What are we going to do?

Don't worry, little sister.

We're going to square them all off and
stack them end to end.

Let's do it now! No.

The slags have got some explaining to
do.

I didn't know. We didn't know you were
coming out. It's great.

Look, I've got something to tell you.
You have to let me tell you. Don't hurt

me. Tell your sister not to hurt me.

She's your sister. Why don't you tell
her? Look, it's very important.

I've been finding out things for you.
That's what I've been doing, finding out

things. And listen, it's the Hawaiian.

We know that.

Where are the others? I don't know.

I mean, they don't hang around here
anymore.

We split, you know. Listen, Squealer,
I'm mad.

And when I... say i'm mad you best
believe i'm mad m -a -d the flags are

dead i don't want anyone else knowing
we're out do you understand yeah this

been her precinct and she wasn't going
to lose it so easily she made up her

to get the gang back together

Bela was running and they wanted to know
why.

They took him to Ricky, the leader of
the Hawaiians.

He was so healthy it made you sick.

Ow!

We, uh, caught him running.

Running like the misty waterfall down
there.

I don't know anything!

Nothing! Please don't hurt me!

I don't know anything.

You don't want to hurt me. I'm with you,
right?

What do you know, kid?

Don't play games. Oh, I'll tell you
anything.

You just want to throw me away in the
garbage can.

I know you. You just want to throw me
away.

Put me in the garbage can.

All right, Mother.

It'll be ready in a minute.

Hurry up.

I'll die. You want me to die. Throw me
in the garbage.

Don't try to kill me.

I know you.

You want to put me away. You think I'm
fruity.

You want to put me in the fruit cellar.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

I love you, Mother.

I want no revenge killings.

We are not murderers.

Despite what the undertaker said.

Papa.

Papa.

I have to go.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

But we were slugged.

And when we got the call, we all blew
together.

Don't do that, squealer.

What are you thinking that you're doing
back to me?

Huh? You want to see what's in my bag?

Look, I've got everything.

You want to see what's in my bag?
Where's everyone else?

Marlon. Hey.

Madness, what have you been doing?

And how's your mama?

I'm working on her.

He's made her a plastic heart.

You're so funny, Squealer. Why don't you
shut your mouth?

Don't laugh at his mother.

You're so stupid. Why do you do it?

You keep your mouth shut or I'll shut it
for you.

You haven't got a girl anymore.

Don't squander. You haven't got a
girlfriend anymore. She's with Ricky.

why you put me about.

You're making me real mad.

Don't you mention her name or I'll take
off your bollocks.

I'm the only one around who's got a
girl.

You wouldn't know what to do with a
girl.

You don't know nothing.

I do, I do. Stop it.

Why do we always end up like this?

All right, men.

Show me.

Show me what a girl is like.

Now, go on, quick, lad. Come on!

What is that?

That's nothing!

One day, when I've got time and I'm not
busy, I'm going to

take all this skin off.

Yeah, but I have got better things to do
with my time.

What are we doing here, anyway?

Who called up?

I don't want to just hang around.

I

don't

like what's been going on here while
we've been away.

You've all let me down.

It's bad.

When I say bad, I mean bad.

Oh, shit.

Look, girl.

No.

Let me.

Listen.

Things just didn't work out when you
left.

We needed a change.

We all knew that it probably wouldn't
last.

We knew that.

There's a whole world out there.

We don't have to stay around here for
the rest of our lives.

You need to broaden your horizons.

Yeah. I mean, look at the sky.

It's so... big.

It goes on forever.

There's so much out there and we are
such a small part of it.

You need to move on.

I knew before I finished that my words
were not thinking in.

How old are we?

Um, nearly 18.

Nearly 18.

Nearly 18.

Nearly 18.

Nearly 18.

Nearly 18, okay.

We're not finished yet.

I want revenge.

And I'm taking all of you with me.

My heart wasn't really in it.

But I went along for the ride.

Fela set up a meeting that evening.

We meet at last.

Passion and little Clifton.

Things are changing around here. You'd
best be getting used to it.

We really like things to be nice.

And that's the way it's going to stay.

No one messes with my girl.

I don't like what's been done. I don't
like your shirt. You want a

rumble? We'll rumble.

Your mouth is filled with such poison.

We don't want a rumble.

I shouldn't have done that.

I should not have done that to one of my
shoppers.

I don't... I don't like that.

Why is it that kids always want what
they know they shouldn't have?

Tomorrow, I'll let you know where.

The

roof.

No.

Your turn.

I don't know any good places.

Pearl? He said I didn't have to think of
one. Come on, chums.

You have to think of somewhere we know.

But we have the advantage.

Let's have it right here.

What, mess the place up? Yeah, mess the
place up, I suppose, stupid.

Yeah, you report now, will you? Not
report. The ice rink.

Stupid.

Look, I've got business to attend to.

I'm leaving this to you.

Where are you going, Ricky?

No place for a girl.

You stay here.

I don't think this could ever work out
because you're a Hawaiian and I'm a

It's not important.

You must understand.

We have to try and see this thing
through.

It has to be a secret.

Only for a moment, my love.

I've never seen Kitty with six before.

You're so sweet.

They'd kill me if they found out.

Let's run away somewhere, somewhere
where they've never seen in a while and

wouldn't know you.

I don't want you at the Rumble.

I have to because they won't stand a
chance without me. Then let's promise

to hurt each other.

All right.

And one day when we're really old, 25,
we can get married.

I have to go now because I'll miss you.

I shall miss you.

I know something. You shouldn't have
been there. No, no, no, you shouldn't

Sam!

You tell one person, I'll hurt you so
badly. I wouldn't tell anybody.

Nobody would I know.

It's our little secret, right?

Yeah, yeah, it's our little secret,
little sister.

You're lucky to be my brother.

Yeah.

But Skvila was a rat with the mind of a
rat and belonged in the gutter with all

the other rats.

He always lived up to his name.

Where have you been?

No, we're just walking.

It's cold.

We'll get closer to the fire then.

We've got to get it back, little sister.

No one pushes me around.

I was born on this street.

What street?

Just this street.

You know, the sidewalk.

Are the pavements... Are the
pavements... Which pavement? It sounds

me. Shut up!

Can't you see that I'm worried?

Sorry.

Sorry, worry, worry, worry, worry,
worry, worry.

Shut up!

You never know when I'm feeling
vulnerable, do you?

That's right.

Passion, do you want to know something?

It's funny.

It's really funny.

I know what's happening.

Shut up, squealer!

The night before a rumble, we'd get
together and plan how things were going

go. If anyone was nervous, they didn't
let it show.

Where's it going to be, Vin? Yeah.

Where is it?

They haven't told us yet.

Squealer looks like he knows something.

Yeah. What do you know, Squealer?

I don't know that. He doesn't know that.

He knows something.

What do you know? I don't know that.

Don't hurt me.

Come on.

Little Sister.

It just came out. I couldn't help it.

Don't hurt me. No.

She didn't like it one bit.

That night, passion swore that she would
get Ricky.

She sent Little Sister away.

She wasn't to show her face at the
rumble.

We all felt bad.

A rumble wasn't a rumble without Little
Sister.

You told them... Where?

Ricky? Was it something we said?

This was it.

Once again, we were enjoying the thrill
of balking on the knife's edge.

At any moment, we could fall.

Aloha.

Is this all there are of you?

Cut the crap, rookie, and let's get on
with it.

I'm gonna kill you.

We want a fair fight.

I want you to know that we never touch
anybody with hate.

We're only fighting for what is nice.

They couldn't fight on while little
sister drowned.

She was everybody's little sister.

And her love for Ricky had finally
brought the Slugs and the Hawaiians

It was my story, and I sold it.

I left the colony for a better life,
free at last from the horrors of my

But I never forgot the ones they called.

The slugs.
