I already borrowed money from the partner.

If you don't get the money back, I will tell Bernadette. Can I borrow 30 pounds

for a couple of weeks? I'm never happy, man, if my money slides.

Give me a chance to explain.

All right.

Lunchtime. And then she never turn on?

She married, right?

Yes, but... All or nothing.

If I'm to marry anyone, I'd wear this dress.

Wedding expenses, they're mounting.

Chanterelle? Please come with me. Soon as I can.

If you think that anyone is going to believe a single word that you, a little

colored girl, have to say, then you don't understand your place.

Get your hands off my sister. I'm going to make sure we three are never parted

again.

We never hear nothing from them Wantage people for weeks now.

We're done with them.

Leah, I'm all right.

Don't let some man make you run and hide.

Old Chantrelle wouldn't care. Come and visit one of Britain's most popular

attractions, Dudley Castle and Zoo, a wonderful family day out.

Why don't you ready yet?

Don't make me miss the bus like I nearly miss my holiday pay.

Can you believe they pay people to have a day trip here?

We need to get these bright maids resisted. Can't watch them.

But you're my sister. I can't go without you.

It wouldn't feel right.

And I wore this outfit especially.

And you?

Put on that nice dress you finished last week.

All right.

I'm coming.

Stop your damn nagging.

I'm only speaking today and I'm not going to talk to nobody.

Today is a blessed day to be with family and friends.

We're all going to forget about our troubles for at least one day. They

let me on the bus. Don't worry. I arrange everything.

And you make sure that Cecilia has a nice time for once in her life.

And Chantrelle can get to know her future workmates before she starts on

My still lost place I want to work.

That money from Boreham Wood won't last forever.

The room won't magically pay for itself.

Mrs. Biswaster, there's plenty depressed Jamaican woman she can rent to.

A stone?

This is our first proper day out together.

No time for sadness.

Go look on the bus.

Why the two buses couldn't wait for us?

And where is the driver?

They don't come?

As then you fetch the car and we will drive there instead.

He will be here.

Anyway, you don't need to care.

Because I can't come.

I have an apartment in Birmingham.

You what?

How you mean you're not coming? Today is a big day for us.

It's only the zoo.

Only?

How long you know Sayana come?

I barely see you for weeks and the only reason I tolerate it is because I

thought I was going to be with you.

We've barely exchanged two words and I don't plan on marrying a stranger.

Wait.

Don't want to be with me?

Oh, Sayana, please.

I'm working all these hours.

Just so I can give you the Cinderella wedding that I did promise you,

So if you don't go, why should I?

Because we are sisters, and we're on a family day out, and we don't need men to

have a good time.

Come.

Rosanna.

Aston, I want you to put in your partner money before I get home.

I'm going to put the children's fares as soon as I can draw my money down.

Right. All be well, no one gets it.

And if you miss the bus...

You can walk home.

Yes, boss.

Got it?

Get on the bus, then.

Who are you?

After.

About that money I lent you a while back.

Yes, sir.

How about I make you a deal?

If you give me another day, I'll pay you tomorrow the little extra.

I have a job coming. You hear that one before?

But you have a wedding coming up.

So I'll wait until after that.

Can I ask you a favor?

I forget Hazan has something special for today. Can you watch you over for me?

Ashton, it will be a pleasure.

You all right, Shelton?

Long time, man.

Shelton?

I don't see you at work for weeks.

I was hoping we could talk. I swapped shifts.

It's easier.

We make sure you get a hot meal in the canteen every break, don't I, Sheldon?

Thank you.

Who this?

Who that, Sheldon?

Morning, miss.

Everybody all right? Morning, Sheldon. You all right?

Mia, you set the date.

I love to see when people take them wedding vows serious.

Isn't that right, Sheldon?

But Asta's not coming with us today.

Mr. Brown has business in Birmingham today.

Hosanna in excelsis indeed.

Who do you like in England?

The churches here leave a lot to be desired.

It's you people who put me back on the path to building my own church. You see?

Mr. Claude is fully ordained.

Oh, yes.

Church of England.

But I serve the people that is hungry for a bit more fire in the preaching.

That is definitely needed here.

You know, I don't know your first name, Mr. Claude.

Claude.

And him, Claude Claude?

No. You can call me Claude.

All right, ladies and gents, hold tight. Here we go.

Stop the bus beneath the BP.

Stop the bus beneath the BP. All right, it's not a school trip.

I wasn't trying to trick you. Oh.

She didn't leave her husband and children in Jamaica.

I don't mean that. Well, one of us must have a problem with the truth.

You think you can judge me?

Okay, I think she might need a hand with the big end.

Have a die, Austin.

Bernadette is not the kind of woman that will come to England and throw away her

family for a good time with the first person she meets.

She's honest.

If a man can move so fast between women, he'll never have a heart to break in

the first place.

Right, you lot, welcome to Dudley Castle and Zoo, the jewel of the black

country.

No offence to you lot, but we call it the black country because of all the

industry and the smoke and the factories and the black people.

Anyway, everybody look this way.

We're done.

They're all fucked. All squeezing together like it's back row at the

And you lot off the posh bush. Come on, audio.

Wait for me, everybody.

Say, Coles Tools Factory.

Come on, everybody.

Come on.

Coles Tools Factory.

Lovely, daddy.

Busting.

I can't go.

I owe my soul to company.

They have a car, a party, and Jamaican lovebirds.

Which reminds me.

Leah, I see you talked to Shelton.

I hope you didn't set him straight on things.

It don't matter.

He's moved on.

That don't give him a right to ignore you.

Humiliate you. Treat you like dirt.

You must do something.

I will.

Good.

Rosanna.

Don't. I don't need to be babysat.

Is that your sister?

What?

Why's she got a face like a slut's ass?

Where's her boyfriend?

She don't have time for that sort of thing.

I thank you anyway.

They're not let you in?

Good. Take your money.

Got lights?

Uh, no.

I don't really smoke.

Shame. Suit yourself.

Gonna tea before the last bar.

You coming?

I won't buy.

Excuse me, darling.

Do you speak English, love?

How much, love?

Why don't you leave the lady alone?

Thank you.

I haven't seen you around here before, and believe me, I'd remember you.

I am grateful that you stepped in for me, but I'm not about to marry you for

Well, good.

Because you're about as rude as your sister.

What? I'm telling you I don't need looking after. I'm fine.

It's a good job a lot now if you both are.

Come on.

I'll scream this way.

I didn't plan to stand you up before.

I had an emergency in Borehamwood. I stand tell me.

You didn't say nothing else.

Must have been a real emergency.

Hmm?

Make you leave town all of a sudden after saying how important it was for me

you to talk. To make sure Chantrelle was all right.

You would have done the same.

I think... Come here, man.

You all right?

Where's that cheeky smile?

That's it.

Come on. All right. Let me get this one here.

This one, right?

All right.

He's such a sweetheart, isn't he?

I think he did the right thing for your family.

Not involving him in adultery and nasty things like that.

He deserved better.

Today was special.

What is more important than escorting his wife -to -be?

Maybe he ran away, as done.

You'd rather chop off him, like... My daddy ran away.

He was like the lightning rod that connected me to Father God.

But then... he leave me and steal the church money.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

I can't tell lie from truth.

He always said, for everything there is a season, a time to weep,

a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.

There is also a time to get to know the person you want to spend the rest of

your life with.

I just can't seem to find it for me.

Come.

This is where the magic happens.

Ladies

and

gentlemen, please do not be alarmed, but we regret to inform you that a tiger

has appeared to have escaped and is now on the loose.

down to the Queen Mary Bar where all the drinks from Cold Stool Factory.

Come.

Come, Bernadette.

Everyone's there to get it all right?

It don't make sense. We were closer to the exit.

It's all like a prank to me.

Maybe. But better safe than sorry.

Tiger don't drink. We must hide in the bar.

That's another move.

Get that from me, please.

Chill, Tom.

What's wrong?

I'll drive you inside. I'm just going to check on the others.

Why are you here?

Because I wanted to make sure he was all right. Stop.

I heard what you said loud and clear.

Look here.

I was out of order.

And I'm sorry.

I don't need your pity.

I am sorry. Excuse me.

Just stop.

You wanted to talk to me. I'm here. Let's talk. We're done.

We're over.

Well, you can't go out there. I don't care. I do.

Mr.

Brahms.

Mr. Duke.

I hear wives cost a pretty penny nowadays.

You're behind on your payments.

I'm still getting the money together.

You had two weeks to pay me back.

£30.

Which means we have to go over new terms involving your next of kin.

Although, I do have a way with widows.

I could take your car, if you like.

I need my car.

You can clear a huge debt right now just by handing me over those keys.

Imagine. I'm still paying it off.

All that saving was worth it.

Me love this Chiara already.

I'll be pulling up to the sweet factory like Princess Monday morning. Oh, is

that right?

My darling sis.

I've not met anyone like you before.

Hard worker.

Own car.

So I'm in the Caribbean.

They want to meet the man who's been keeping me out for all hours the past

weeks. Well, long overdue.

They can be tough, my family.

But they'll like you.

Especially when they see how much we care about each other.

You're going to knock the socks off.

My family boys, I've had to glue my socks on ever since I met you.

Shall we take it for a spin?

That's a very good deal for the both of us, Mr. Brahms.

Good day.

Welcome.

Welcome. Welcome.

I can't believe you did that.

We're only doing what they expect of me.

You know, it's always hard. Stand up straight, turn out your pockets, move

along. Treat him like a hoodlum, he's going to snap.

Worth it, though.

It's good to see you smile for the first time today.

Music.

Come now.

Look,

we're going to be here for a while.

Why don't you just tell me what you wanted to tell me before?

Everybody's in the restaurant, so I might as well go and take my chances.

I don't want to upset you anymore.

Ephraim came looking for a wife, and it was either me or Chantrelle.

She had too much potential, too much ahead of her.

She's pretty and talented, much more than me. Why do you say that? I could

gone along with things for a good time, but I told you everything because I

care.

You're a decent man. I wasn't looking for anything from anyone.

Because when I made those vows, I did mean them.

All I got in return was misery.

I marry a lie, and there is nothing in the scripture for what I do about that.

Nothing. I marry...

I married dust and dirt and drink and mud.

I didn't want to go through what my father did with my mother.

You got me.

I'm a coward.

I can't do it.

And I know your husband put you through hell. That's how I find heaven.

My babies.

I haven't taken a full breath since I leave them behind.

And I won't breathe again properly until I have them here with me.

I know.

My children.

I will never love anyone as much as them.

We're missing a party.

Oh, my Winifred, that will.

You look super smushy.

My sister Leah teach me sewing when we were younger.

She's better than me, but dressmaker can keep me out of trouble and away from

the wrong kind of men.

That was the plan, anyway.

You're easily the best -looking bird here.

I bet they're more jealous.

Of me?

No.

Me?

You look like a movie star.

You see that?

She is a star.

Starting Monday, I work on a production line.

Yeah, but you could do this for a living.

Make your name as addressed as honour.

You think so?

I don't know why.

So they've got ham, spam, jam, lamb and fish and chips?

We don't want no fish and chips. Tea's usually complimentary in circumstances

like these, love.

No worry about anything.

Did you see that? We can't deal with you.

We are done.

Have you married a lot of people?

Just the one lady?

Oh, you mean as a minister.

No, well, I've done the occasional ceremony.

It's exotic food.

It's a big talk on your body.

Mr. Clyde. Oh, dear. Mr. Clyde.

Mr. Clyde, are you choking?

Try and stay calm.

Can you feel pain anywhere else?

In your neck? Your arm?

Just your chest?

Are you on any medication?

What can we do?

This will try not to hurt.

It only feels like you have a heart attack. It won't get any worse.

Because you have angina.

Okay.

I want you to steady your breathing.

Everything is going to be alright.

That's my sister.

That's my sister.

Ladies

and

gentlemen, we appear to be victims of a false alarm.

They're going to wonder where we are.

What's up?

You first.

Or we just let them wander.

You cold?

I'm not cold.

Please.

Let me see her.

You're not welcome round here.

And you're getting married.

All right for some.

And my other brother is 19.

And then there's me.

It's all right, fan.

About time they met me.

Look, they're not really hip, my family.

You'll love my mum's hot pot.

I hope you're hungry.

Me? I'm always hungry.

I know they didn't get his order in on time with us.

It cost him another three pounds. Aye, yeah. So I relate. He couldn't decide on

a tie.

It was Aston.

Come on, Aston, don't be shy.

Good evening, Mrs. Boyce.

Mr. Boyce.

You sit there, Aston.

Want any help in the kitchen, ma 'am?

Have you lost your mind?

No, no, no.

I'm not having that.

No.

I want you out.

Dad, stop it.

Get out.

Now! Get away from her!

Don't hurt him. Sorry.

Not you.

You get up there and stay.

You want, don't you? Don't you?

Please, stop.

Get up.

Get up. Stay away from my sister. Mom, there's something I'm begging you. Don't

you dare come down.

Don't hurt him. Stay there.

Ashton.

Ashton, I love you.

Shut up, son.

If we catch you, need our girl again, we'll swing you up.

God have mercy.

Come, son.

Get up off the dirt.

Life's no easier in England, you know.

What do you need?

A spell, Brahms.

I would prefer to be with someone from back home.

So I'm asking if you could please select me a potential wife.

And so now back here, I enclose the sum of money for the affair.

You know,

the first real rock and roll record was released in 1950.

51. Oak Turner.

Rocket 88.

How about that one?

That might be a bit fussy, all them legs.

Namely styling that darn suit.

Want to bet?

Thank you.

Misery to me.

Can't pray?

She took the door off my room, and she believed him.

I shouldn't have left you alone down there.

I wasn't alone.

I had my friend Siobhan next door.

When you came to get me, I was so relieved.

But I didn't get to say goodbye.

I should have flattened him myself.

Mrs. Wantage only let him back in the house again.

She said the kiddies missed him.

Jerome.

Maybe you could come here to my brother's wedding.

I'd love to.

I don't know if I'm allowed.

I'll try.

If you want me there.

You make me feel safe.

I've never known anyone like you.

You know,

we could walk home from here.

Not too far.

in the rain well not being in under here

okay come on

I thought I'd lost you for a second there.

Was it all the twirling about that made you feel sick?

I know someone hurt you.

You just say the word and me and the lads will sort it out.

Jimmy, you'll be taken anywhere.

Give up.

Don't say that.

My mum's best mate's auntie works for the things for Armstrong. We'll get you

there for a start, see how things work. You don't have your own business in no

time.

You're always trying to fix things, aren't you?

Good night.

Good night.

Well,

they're not still young.

So what's the rush?

Give us a kiss good night, then.

I'm not ready for that.

We're not getting any younger, love.

It's all right. I can wait.

Thank you. Good night.

Darling, did that boy just steal your shoe?

Winifred Atwell.

Miss Atwell, could I have a word with you, please?

Of course, darling.

But now you set my soul on fire.

And I really... Thank

you. Lovely rock.

Okay. Wait.

I did get this for you.

I didn't peep inside.

Bad luck, you say?

Is this why you ain't burning him today?

Oh, Aslan.

Oh.

Hosanna. Come.

I think it's important that we don't have any secrets between us before we

married. Mm -hmm.

Furious thing.

I was confused why I came here. I sell the car to cover the cost of some big

debts. You sell the car?

So how will we get to the church?

We'll find a way.

I'm glad you paid things off.

You don't owe anything now.

Not that simple.

Long before you, there was a girl.

My family.

White girl.

And when the family find out about me...

It was all kind of murderation.

That night.

The last time I'll ever see her.

Which is why...

Which

is why I never knew about the baby till after... After Fan

died giving birth at the hospital.

And I tried.

They won't let me see the baby.

I didn't get this for her first birthday.

I have no rights.

Leah and Chantrey go alone.

And I don't want to share this pain.

But you, you're strong.

And I've never been so certain about a woman as I am about you.

Dear Leo.

The picnic dem a help round the yard since me fall and mash up me foot.

The dirty boy come round and ask for you.

Me no say nothing.

But I don't see him take a drink all this time.

I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it. But him's finally the husband

you deserve.

Even the children love him.

Love, Mama.

What's wrong?

Ephraim.

You finally realize what you lose?

It's the children.

They'll be here soon.

And he's not going to hurt you again.

Don't worry.

Your brother and sister.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Come here.
