That's my boy That's my boy

It's coloured.

Oh, Angie.

Hmm?

This shirt.

Oh, I'd forgotten that. I gave it to
Robert for Christmas.

Oh, I wish you hadn't. Why?

Because I don't like problems. Well, not
on a Monday morning and not when I've

had four gins on a Sunday night.

Have you got a hangover?

I will have if I look at this shirt much
longer.

Is it white or is it coloured?

It's neither. It's striped. I'm sorry,
love, but it can't be.

not? Because there isn't a programme for
stripes.

I can't help you then.

Yeah, but you do see my problem, don't
you?

I mean, if I put it in with the whites,
the red will run. And if I put it in

with the colours, the white won't come
clean.

Oh, I'm glad I'm not Joseph's mother.

Who's Joseph?

Him with the multicoloured dream coat.

Think of her on a Monday morning.

Ah, but she didn't have a washing
machine.

Oh, no, I think she was lucky, really.

I think I was born in the wrong century.
I should be going with my pitcher to

the well instead of going with my bag
wash to the laundromat.

Your tea's getting cold.

Oh, well, that won't help my wash day
blues. Anyway, I shall be making some

fresh when Shane wakes up.

I tell you what, go and give him a call,
cos it's thirsty work, this. The fluff.

But he's not here, Ida.

No, what?

He's not here.

Gone and never called me mother.

Where is he?

At the hospital. They called him out.

Again? That's three nights running. Oh,
that poor lad, he'll be out on his feet.

I wonder if we have time to run out and
get him a quarter of mushrooms.

He likes a mushroom.

I don't think it's worth it. He'll be
too tired to eat.

He's been too tired to do anything
lately.

You mean...

Never mind the mushrooms.

I'll buy him a steak.

Too late to buy him anything, is he?

We're in the kitchen, love.

Hi. Oh, I'm dead on my feet.

What did I tell you? You look terrible.

I'm not surprised. I've been hard at it
all night.

Oh, I'm so tired.

Too tired to give your wife a little
kiss?

Oh, sorry.

Oh, that was nice. Can I have one?

There, now.

We're both... in a rosy glow.

I can float to the laundorama on wings
of... What's that on your coat?

Oh, curry, I think.

Yeah, curry.

Where's your poppadom in your pocket?

I didn't realise.

I'll rinse it through, will you, when
you've got a minute? I'll boil it

when I've got a couple of hours.

Do you want any breakfast, darling?

No, thanks, I'm not hungry. A cup of
tea, a cup of coffee? No, I'm not

Do you want to go straight to bed?

No, I'm not... You mean to sleep?

Yeah, I think I will. Good night.

It's good morning, love.

Oh, that poor lad.

I know.

Well, I made me mind up about you.
You're white.

And so will you be when I've had a go at
you. Oh, look at this.

What does anybody want with this?

He has a lot of forms to fill in and
prescriptions to write up. They're

too hard at that hospital and they don't
feed him properly.

I mean, what's the good of curry in the
middle of the night?

What's this?

Oh, look.

A pocket full of sweetie papers.

No wonder he didn't want his breakfast.

Now, what's this?

Oh, it's nothing, is it? Best thrown
away.

Don't do that. It might be important.

It didn't. He wasn't honest.

You don't know that. Ida, do you? It
might be a prescription for someone or a

note for the consultant.

It's not. It's not. It's none of those
things.

Well, have you seen it? I can't. I've
thrown it away.

No, you haven't. I have. I have. It's in
the bin. It's no good looking because

it's full of open cans and soggy tea
bags. Look.

Go on. Sit down and finish your
breakfast.

Ida. Mm -hmm.

What have you got in your hand?

Nothing. Look.

Nothing.

Now the other...

Ida!

Oh, well, I did my best. Thank you.

Now, Angie, don't go jumping to
conclusions.

Like what I did.

Oh, Ida!

Oh, no!

Oh!

No wonder he was tired, the double
-dealing, double -crossing, two -timing,

-faced...

I'm trying to decide what to do. Well,
there are only two choices, aren't

Kill him quickly or kill him slowly.

Ooh, hard at it all night. I'm awful
slowly.

We could just throw that note away and
pretend we never saw it. Yes, but we did

see it, didn't we?

I'm sure he'll never do it again.

Oh, you know what my dear mother always
used to say?

No, but you're going to tell me. Right,
I am.

When a dog finds a tree it likes.

Do I have to?

But I thought I was the tree he liked.
You were. Oh, you are? Well, you will be

in the... I could go and put a pillow
over his face.

Thanks for getting me going. That's
brazen, that is.

Brazen. Oh, Ida.

No one has ever done it that way before.

And that's filthy.

Aren't you clever? And aren't you
strong?

And isn't she the crafty cow?

Look, spell L -U -V, which is common.

Polly. Yes, but Polly who?

Well, does it matter?

Polly Flinders, Polly Wolly Doodle,
Polly Unsaturated.

She's still no better than she ought to
be, and that's for him. I'm not blaming

him. You're not?

No, I'm blaming her.

It takes two to tango, you know. I'm
blaming both of them. Him and his

polyfiller.

I still think we ought to tear that up
and pretend we've never seen it. Yeah,

but, Angie... Give it to me, Ida. I'm
going to tear it up. Well, if you

Oh, I'll just see who that is. Ida?

Yes, love?

Whoever it is. Not a word about this.

Angie, I have never been one to air my
dirty linen in public.

Oh, that reminds me. I'll never make it
to the Launder Armour now.

That's getting me going.

And him, a married man with two mothers.

Now, pull yourself together, Ida. Hide
your breaking heart.

Hello there, Ida.

What's wrong?

Oh, Wilfred.

Oh, Wilfred!

Hold on.

Tell me.

Where is he now?

In bed.

No offence, but whose bed?

His own, for a change.

And believe it or not, she's going to
forgive him.

Well, of course she is.

Pardon? Do you want to know what I
think?

No, but you're going to tell me. I think
your best bet is to throw that note

away and pretend it never happened.

That's what I said, isn't it, Ida?

Yes, but it did happen, didn't it? And
it'll happen again, won't it?

Do you think so? I know so.

You can't fight nature, Angie.

It's a man, and you know what men are,
don't you?

Well, I do, but I'm not sure she does.

Well, go on, spell it out for her, and
you listen, Angie.

Men, by the one that got away.

It's been the same since time
immemorial.

What else?

Man is the hunter.

And women is natural prey.

He's been watching Zoo Quest.

It's all to do with the survival of the
species, you see.

If man is not to become extinct, he must
go forth and procreate.

He must go forth and what?

Doesn't sound very nice.

It doesn't sound very possible.

What I'm trying to say is this. Oh, we
know what you're trying to say, Wilfred.

Any excuse for a bit on the side.

Right. You see, he's not even going to
answer. Look, look, look. Angie, give

a loose rein and he'll not roam far.

I don't mind if he does roam far,
actually.

Sensible girl.

He can roam as far as he likes and as
often as he likes.

Angie. Just so long as he never comes
back. Pardon?

Oh, Ida was right and I was wrong. It is
kill him quickly or kill him slowly.

Kill him quickly or kill him slowly?
Look, you misunderstood me, girl. Oh,

she doesn't, Wilfred. She's rumbled you.

Man is the hunter and woman is natural
prey.

We're not living in the Stone Age, you
know.

Pretty, there's plenty of women could do
with a clout from a club.

Who did you feel the like of that? Oh,
get back in your cave.

Who's that?

Neanderthal. man wanting to know if his
friend can come out and play.

Do you want to go yourself, Wilfred?

I'll go.

Oh, no, love, I'll go. No, thank you. I
don't want you telling anyone else my

husband's been unfaithful to me.

Oh, that poor little scrap.

And that's for you. What are you looking
at me like that for?

Can't you guess?

Oh, I don't know.

I was just passing and I thought,
whatever is it?

What's wrong?

Oh, Mother!

Mother!

I see. Well, so I should hope it's plain
enough.

Well, you know what I always say, don't
you? Hang on, Angie, it's my turn.

No, but you're going to tell us.

Boys will be boys. And men will be men.

What are you doing Saturday?

Oh, Wilfred, we've got troubles enough.

So, boys, we...

And that's it, is it?

I always say... Oh, here we go again.

If a man strays and only has a piece of
paper, well, that's all Neville

Chamberlain had.

Anyway, you've got to have your two
pennies, I suppose, so go on.

He must have his reasons.

And what's that supposed to mean?

I know, I know, I know.

The little boy in the front row in the
dirty jumper.

Well, it means is he happy at home?

And that means is he getting an... off,
and the answer is... That's not what I

meant.

Whatever it means, it's not what I
meant.

But it was. Of course it was.

It wasn't. It wasn't. Well, either way,
the answer's the same. Mind your own

business. Don't you speak to me like
that. She'll speak to you any way she

likes, and if she drives up, I'll carry
on for her.

Look here, Mrs. Lewis. I'm looking, Mrs.
Price. No, no, cool it. Ah, shut up.

You're wasting your time, lad. How could
you?

How could I what?

Who is this girl, Robert?

Girl? What girl?

Polly. Who's a naughty boy, then?

Polly? Do you mean Polly Bennett?

You tell us. Is she the one who thinks
you're so clever and strong? She does

strong. She ought to say stupid, leaving
her love letters about for all to find.

Love letter?

Then. I don't know what...

This isn't a love letter. Oh, of course
it's not. It's a bit of Scotch mist.

What is it, then? You'd better make it a
good one, Shane.

You won't get a second try.

It's a thank -you note.

A thank -you note? You blew it.

Thank you for what?

Services rendered?

It's done on the Fifth Amendment. Don't
tell her.

I've got nothing to hide, Wilfred. All I
did was fix her car.

What are you all looking at? An
optimist.

Nobody's going to believe that. Well,
I'll start with you, Wilfred. Do you

believe it?

Oh, no, I'm sorry, lad. I did warn you.
I did say make it a good one.

Mother, you believe me, surely.

I'd like to, dear. I'd love to. But you
don't. Well, tell us more about it,

Polly. Well, what better to tell? She's
a staff nurse on Ward 6.

Only a staff nurse?

If she'd been assistant matron, that
would have been all right, wouldn't it?

It would certainly have made it more
acceptable socially.

Acceptable socially.

Ooh, I'm glad I'm working club.

So am I.

You, working club.

Except to catch the barmaid's eye.

Look, don't take it out on me, all
right?

Just because somebody's having a bit on
the side.

A bit on the side? Is that what you
honestly think?

How did it... Start, Robert? How did it
all begin?

How does it always start? Their eyes
met, their hands touched, and two hearts

beat as one.

It was like that, dear. Or was it just a
sudden, uncontrollable urge?

I get them.

Only when you don't take the tablets.

This is Polly, dear.

Now what?

Is there any chance she might be
promoted?

More to the point, is there any chance
she might be pregnant?

I've had enough of this. I've told you
the truth. You don't believe me. Well, I

don't give a shit.

Well, I don't.

There's only one person in this flat I
care about, and that is Angie. Oh, I'm

with you on that. Oh, what about your
poor old mother?

And what about your poor old uncle?

To hell with my poor old uncle. To hell
with all of you.

None of you believe a word I say. Oh,
and you think Angie will do you?

I know she will, because she loves me
and she trusts me. Then why did you do

what you say you didn't do?

Because you were too idle to think of a
decent story.

Start in a car. Come to me next time,
lad. There won't be a next time. There

hasn't been a first time yet.

Angelo. I'm all right.

I just want a word with my husband.

Look, Angie, I can explain.

There's no need to explain anything.

I'm sorry I hit you.

Did it hurt?

No, look, about this note you found. Oh,
I don't want to talk about it. It's all

forgiven and forgotten.

She's softer than I'd be.

And I.

It didn't mean what you thought it
meant. No, but I really don't want to

about it.

Look, I've torn it out.

Let's forget it. Please, darling.

All I did was start her car. I don't
want to... What did you say?

I started her car for her. She couldn't
get it going. Well, it's a bit of an old

banger, so I tried all the usual... What
are you looking at me like that for?

You double... Dealing, double crossing,
two timing, two base... I

don't think she believed me.

That did hurt.

I'm sorry to trouble you, Robert, but
would you draw your chair in a bit,

please? Why are you suddenly calling me
Robert? Because you're suddenly no son

of mine.

The sooner I go, the better.

Dove contain.

Oh, this sounds all right. Dove contain
flat.

C -H. What's C -H?

Central eating.

But you'd be silly to pay for that.

Why? Can't you and that Polly generate
your own?

Josh, how many more times?

I'm not going with Polly. I'm not going
with anyone.

I don't want to go at all.

You should have thought about that
before you started playing around.

Oh, there it is.

The very thing. It's perfect for you.

Wanted fourth.

to share with three nurses.

And there's a phone number, but you
can't ring till after six, so that'll

you time to get dressed.

I can't get dressed.

Why not? Is who have in trouble with
those buttons?

Mummy will help you.

I'll bolt you in a minute, Ida. Angie's
locked the bedroom door.

After the horse has bolted.

So? So I can't get my clue.

Like I said, Mummy will help you.

Here, put that on.

It needs ironing. It needs washing.

But it's all I've got.

I still haven't got any trousers.

Oh, let's see what... Ah, here we are.
The very thing. A wraparound skirt.

It'll clash with the red, but beggars
can't be choosers. Very funny.

Oh, don't wipe your nose on that dirty
thing.

Here, have a bit of kitchen roll.

See, you've been cleaning your shoes on
this, haven't you? How many times have I

told you about... It's grease, Ida. Oil
and grease.

You're giving me that look again.

No, I'm not. It's, um... For a moment, I
almost believed you.

That's my other mother. I don't want to
see her.

Oh, what a thing to say.

Supposing it is her, how am I going to
tell her that her son doesn't want...

I'll find a way.

Oh, Mrs Price, if you knew what I'm
going to tell you, you wouldn't be so

impatient. I'm sorry, Mrs Price. Oh, can
I help you?

I hate to be a nuisance, but does Dr
Price live here?

Well, for the moment, yes.

Do you want a word with him? Oh, no.

I expect he's still asleep, isn't he? I
wouldn't want to wake him. I know what a

night he had.

Well, he ghosted, didn't we? Did you?

I'd never known anything like it.

and we had five, and then old Mr Lomax
went out with the tide.

Went out with the... Oh, I'm sorry.

Which wasn't unexpected.

Wasn't it?

No. And Dr Price, Elodie Gunn, who the
last... Did, yes. What a doctor, and

a man.

He's nice, don't you know?

Yes, but... Yes, he is.

Oh, there's pride, you must be. Oh, I
am. Come in, come in, Lord. Is Sister...

Stop.

Darth Nurse Bennet. People call me
Polly, but not because I'm pretty,

I'm not, am I? No, love, you're not.

Of course, I mean, it's in the eye of
the beholder, isn't it? And it's only

deep at the best of times.

Well, what can I do for you, love? Well,
I brought him his pen back, didn't I,

in case he missed it.

Well, I don't think he will have. He's
got six more in his pocket.

Ah, but this is special. This is the one
his wife gave him. He tells us that

every time he takes it out.

Don't they?

I found it in my car, see? My little old
Minnie. He helped me get her started

last night. It must have fell out of his
pocket.

You mean it was your car that he
started?

Oh, and I was so grateful. Three kiddies
I've got at home and a husband on night

shift. I couldn't afford to be late,
could I?

No. And I can't afford to be late now
either.

Bye.

Oh, Miss, um, Polly, um...

Exactly how did he get your car started?

He picked it up and shook it.

Wasn't that clever?

And wasn't that strong?

Thank you, love. Bye -bye.

Oh, I don't... I only hope you like crow
because you're going to have to

eat a lot of it.

Shane. Oh, I'm Shane again, am I? What?

at me, please.

What on earth are you doing?

Groveling.

If you had your boots on, I'd lick them.

What's the matter with you? Oh, I'm so
ashamed. How could I misjudge you like

that? And as for that nice Polly
Bennett, how could I have thought... How

are her children?

I'll knit them something.

Was that Polly at the door? She brought
you there.

Oh, Angie gave me this.

Angie!

She still thinks what I used to think.

Oh, Shane, go and tell her that you
really did start that nice girl's car.

no. Why not?

I'll only get walloped again.

If she let me in.

Well, she'll let me in, won't she? I'll
go and tell her. I'll go and put her

straight. Mummy's little boy.

Really plain.

Really plain.

And not young.

Oh, older than me.

Don't push it, love.

Let me see that hanky again.

Exhibit A.

Well, it is oil and grease.

Oh, you can say that again. I'll never
get it clean.

I'm going to have to forgive him, aren't
I? Well, under the circumstance...

Forgive him for what?

Making me think he'd been unfaithful to
me.

Oh, of course. How silly of me.

Well, I'll go and send him in, shall I?
Yes, please.

Oh, Nida. Yes, love?

Really...

Hideous. Poor thing.

What do you mean she's prepared to
forgive and forget? There's nothing to

forgive. No, but there's a lot to
forget.

Like what?

Like she hit you twice.

But that's for me to forgive.

My point exactly.

If she can forgive you for something you
didn't do, surely you can forgive her

for something she did do.

Perhaps it's because I've had no sleep,
but that didn't seem to me to make any

sense at all. Does it matter?

Well... Excuse me. Are you coming to be
forgiven or not?

Um... He's coming, he's coming.

Good.

Well, go on. What are you waiting for?

I don't know.

She looked great, didn't she?

Really, really great.

Good night, Ida.

Where was I? Oh, where would I be on a
Monday morning? Come on, you.

White, white, coloured, coloured, white,
coloured.
