He loves it.
So I filed for bankruptcy, lost the lot! (Max) You married? Twice.
I got two by the first, one by the last and she weren't planned.
We dropped a bollock with young J-Lo.
So she makes me have the snip, then leaves me.
Still, I'll have the last laugh - I'm selling her knickers on eBay! You got any bin lids? You what? Bin lids - kids.
You got any? Oh, no.
Not me.
You know the Maxster: love 'em and leave 'em, me.
- Where are you living now? - Anywhere I like.
Got a motor home.
You're joking.
Really? We were gonna get one of these before we had J-Lo.
That's the life.
It's fantastic, we live the dream.
We do what we want, when we want.
We? Me and the lad.
We're easy riders.
Ooh, are you now(?) We wake up in the countryside one day and watch the sun set over the ocean the next.
Where are you tonight? Car park.
Car park?! Convenience.
While you're pissing about with taxis, me and the lad'll be tucked up in bed.
Kings of the road.
Don't you mean queens?! How dare you! Let's get a couple of things straight and I mean straight.
I don't drink out of both taps and that lad definitely does not.
'Ey up, I see t'cabaret's arrived.
Oh, my God! What's up? It's Tina.
What's she doing here? Who's Tina? Me ex, Tina.
The one I told you about.
Oh, that Tina.
Is a small world, in't it? Well, what d'you reckon? Needs more salt.
Not the food, you tool.
Tina.
I don't know, go and talk to her.
What justjust like that? It's been ten years.
What? Since you spoke to a woman? FEEDBACK FROM MIC I'd just like to say a few words.
So far, it's been a cracking night, I'd like to thank you for the gifts.
No doubt I'll be drinking them later.
Hello, Tina.
I'd like to thank the club Max! What are you doing here? It's t'Wolfster's birthday.
I wanna see you all dancing later You all right? I'm good.
And finally, there's one small Can I get you a drink? No, I'm all right.
Max, there's summat I've got to tell you.
Wanna go somewhere else? I can't.
Tina, my wife, everybody.
What a star! CHEERS & APPLAUSE Hooray, Tina! APPLAUSE ECHOES Don't wish it away, Don't look at it like this forever.
Between you and me, I could honestly say, that things can only get better.
Without me, girl.
Cry in the night if it helps.
But more than ever I simply love you.
More than I love life itself.
And I guess that's why they call it the blues.
Time on my hands could be time spent with you.
Laughing like children, Living like lovers Rolling like thunder.
Under the covers And I guess that's why they call it the blues.
And I guess that's why they call it the blues.
Time on my hands could be time spent with you.
And I guess that's why they call it the blu-u-ues.
APPLAUSE, CHEERING I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues - and I'd know.
Havin' your heart ripped out Yeah, whatever.
You wanna know about pain? The First Cut Is The Deepest, lads.
Key of C! BAND PLAYS INTRO (GRUFFLY) The first cut is the deepest.
BABY, I KNOW! The first cut is the deepest.
.
So that's why you left me, is it, for 'im? Who? You know who - t'Wolfster.
Some friend he turned out to be.
What you on about? He had nothin' to do with us splittin' up.
Bollocks.
Why's he here then? Cos it's his birthday.
How convenient! Look, what do you want, Max? I want answers.
Why did you go off, leave me without sayin' nothin'? Have you forgotten about the night outside the club? What you said? You shouldn't have been listening.
Well, I heard it all you and your mates slaggin' me off.
We were only havin' a laugh.
It were just a few jokes.
And I was the punchline.
Everybody has a laugh at my expense.
I'd had enough.
So that's why you left? Don't you think that's a bit of an overreaction to a few jokes? It wasn't just a few jokes, it was far more than that.
I'll tell you what I think, right.
I think you are using that as an excuse.
There's no way you could have loved me like I loved you.
Not go off, saying nothing.
Love you? I trusted you.
Yeah, right.
I worshipped you.
I even had your baby, that's how much I loved you.
You had a baby? When? It doesn't matter.
You had a baby We had a baby? Oh, Max you shouldn't have come here.
Are you tellin' me I'm a dad? I never wanted you to find out.
Oh, I can see that.
I mean like this.
I was gonna tell you, but I was so angry with you that the longer I left it, the harder it got.
Is he a girl or a boy? He's a boy.
And how tall is he? I mean, how old is he? He's ten.
He's ten?! Christ, they shoot up, don't they? Are you OK? I should be handin' out cigars.
I'm a dad! Who's gonna teach him to take care of himself? I wanna see him.
Please, Max, you can't.
.
Oh, I can.
And I am.
I'm his dad.
I've got rights.
You don't know the damage you'd cause.
It'd destroy him.
Kev has no idea that you're the father.
He's brought him up as his own.
So what am I supposed to do? Just pretend he doesn't exist? If you've any love left for me, yes.
What's his name? Daniel.
Look, I've gotta get back.
I'm sorry, Max.
(SLURRED) Are you watching? Are you watching, missus? This is what they did to me! To me! I'm half a man.
Are you listenin'?! What a night.
The very bloody best.

I know, you said.
You had me up half the night, tellin' me.
Are you sure he's yours? Oh, I'm sure, don't you worry.
It's just that, you know, I just thoughtyou know.
Thought what? Aren't you supposed to have sex with someone first? The thinnest of thin ice.
Look at 'em, playin'.
He could be one of 'em right there, Now? I don't see any bald kids wi' beards.
- They'll be comin' out soon.
- And? I wanna see him.
Look, Max, Tina's got a point.
You're better off stayin' away.
How would you like it if you had a son that you'd never seen? I might have.
You know my lifestyle.
There could be a squadron of little Paddys running round as we speak.
Have you got a plan? I have now.
Quick, get some clothes on.
Hurry up! Whoa, mate! You've got a leak at the back.
Jokin', aren't you? No, come on.

How was I to know there were two buses? Did you not recognise him? I never pissin' met the lad.
Only seen t'back of his 'ead this morning, first time.
This is it now, you know, they'll throw away the key.
No, this is just a case of mistaken identity.
Forty kids on a coach? What did we mistake 'em for? A stag do? Right, follow me, boys.
Given the seriousness of this crime and its calculated nature any request for bail is denied and the accused will be remanded in custody until the trial date's set.
Take them down.
Custody? What does he mean, custody? Prison.
Prison? Pound coin holder - empty.
An Afro comb.

Empty your pockets out.
One pornographic magazine - The Finger Club.
One packet of condoms.
