In the morning when the moon is at its rest
You will find me at the time I love the best
watching rainbows play on sunlight
Pools of water
ice from cold nights in the morning...
'Tis the morning of my life.
In the daytime I will meet you as before
you will find me waiting by the ocean floor
building castles in the shifting sand
in a world that no one understands
in the morning...
'Tis the morning of my life.
In the evening I will fly you to the moon
to the top right-hand corner of the ceiling in my room
where we'll stay until the sun shines
another day to swing on clothes lines;
may I be yawning...
'Tis the morning of my life.
In the morning...
Forward... halt!
Attention!
Take length!
Have you been drinking Ornshaw?
Oh no sir!
Have you been drinking whiskey Ornshaw?
No sir! Bronch... Bronchial balsam cough syrup
Smells like whiskey to me Ornshaw.
Bad cough sir.

sparkling lapelle pins crisp white haversack
highly buffered belt immaculate crosswork...
It's a credit to you lad. It must have taken you hours.
My mother did it sir.
Ah yes. We had your mother in here yesterday telling us all about you.

Love do you eh do you really think it's good for him to be going to all that sort of thing?
Honestly it gets quite comical the things you... thrust on him.
Oh Nev it's important for him to meet all sorts of people.
Nev I think I'll cook something special for Wednesday.
Oh by the way I've invited uh Betty and George over for dinner.

Now no don't get hysterical Neville. Daniel off to your room!
It's you!

Sorry love not for this. See if you got anything else at home 'ey?
Ah that's more like it.
There we are a nice sun tan one for you.
Danny you really are terribly naughty.
Now what'd you want to go and do a thing like that? Darling what's that supposed to be?
Not quite finished yet. Still needs quite a bit of work on the chest.
But darling you used to do nice pictures of Grandma and for the giraffe at the zoo.
Oh and do you remember that nice police man you painted?
But I've done all those things; I want to try something new.
Darling where on Earth did you get this?
Oh boy gave it to me at school.
I wanted to paint a nude. I didn't quite know what they look like.
So he gave me this.
This's got a very nice face.
Oh darling did Daddy break your rocket?
Nevermind. Let's see if we can fix it - But it's mine Mum if I may have it please...
No no darling you can fix your rocket; let Mummy have it... Come on let me...
Oh! Oh darling you're lovely! Ah nevermind.
Now you fix your rocket

Splash down after lunch then.
Melody are you still in there playing that bloody silly penny whistle?
Yes and it's not a penny whistle it's a recorder.
Anyway Miss Fairfax says I've got to practice.
I don't care what she said; if you don't come out of there love I shall bust myself.
To make yourself useful go down to the pub
and ask your dad for some money for ice cream; else you won't get no sweets.
Who is the girl with the crying face
looking at millions of signs?
She knows that life is a running race;
her face shouldn't show any signs.
Melody fair won't you comb your hair?
You can be beautiful too.
Melody fair remember you're only a woman.
Melody fair remember you're only a girl.
Who is the girl at the window pane

Melody life isn't like the rain;
it's just like a merry-go-round.
Melody fair won't you comb your hair?
You can be beautiful too.
Melody fair remember you're only a woman.
Melody fair remember you're only a girl.
The Jewish boys may now leave for private study.
O'Leary Ornshaw...
O'Leary I trust you've informed the holy Father of your sudden change of faith.
As for you Ornshaw you may rush to your matzos after my lesson.
"And Jesus said: 'Take up thy bed and walk.'"
Now does anyone know the name of the man our Lord was referring to?
What does anyone know which of the disciples were with Jesus at the time?
Does anyone know who the disciples were?
Does anybody know who Jesus was?
Robert Sinclair she fancies you!
I don't.
That was your boyfriend Muriel?
Do you kiss boys Muriel?
Of course if I like him enough.
Aren't you frightened?
Oh why should I be frightened?
It's quite nice when you get used to it.
How long do you kiss for Muriel?
Depends how I feel; five minutes sometimes.
World record! - You're lucky Muriel.
How did you do it? You know the first time you ever kissed a boy?
Don't know really... Never used to kiss boys.
I always thought kissing would bring babies.
'Cause they're boys Muriel?
Could you spare me one?
Well now today we're going to cover WIC.
Wellington's Iberian Campaign.
Now to make things easy for you in the exams I am going to give you a little memory maxim.
"Saucy Turtles Make Terrible Bath Mats Charlie."
Quiet
"Saucy Turtles Make Terrible Bath Mats Charlie."
The S stands for the landing at Serena T is for the battle at Talavera.
M is the advance to Madrid T is the line to the Torres plus
B is the battle at Butaco
M is the French general Mussein N and C is the battle of Curano.
Yes Ornshaw?
Sir what was Wellington doing in Spain in the first place?
Because Ornshaw. He was. That's why.
I'm sorry sir but I don't understand why.
Now don't be impudent Ornshaw. I can't keep the brighter boys behind just because of you laggers back!
So put your hand down and keep quiet.
This is supposed to be a history lesson not Twenty Questions.
All right now all of you take this down.
Roman Numeral One: "Saucy Turtles Make Terrible Bath Mats Charlie."
Hey look: a bloody spy.
There.
Go on coolie buzz off.
Up it; go on up it.
We don't want you here; it's confidential.
Yes it's confidential.
Shove off will you?
Oh leave him alone he's all right.
I let him know my secrets; not lightly.
No you'd better not let him learn your secrets.
Look it's not bloody Cape Kennedy you know; it's only an Ovaltine can with a bit of weed killer in it.
It's not! I'll show you. Hold it.
Ow you're balmy! That'll never work!
Take cover!
You don't have to go amid do you?
Be nice to go somewhere.
I've got an hour. We could go out west if you like.
It'd only take about an hour. Hey watch who you're pushing!
We'll be there and back within an hour.
I'm just a clown that used to run around;
I used to have a million friends.
I used to start where everybody ends
but I just give my best to my friends.
I've done my shows everybody knows;
I nearly sold all my clothes.
One man can give; another has to lend
so I just give my best to my friends. (And so you should!)
And when you think that your life isn't right
you know the day isn't always like night.
You've had your peace; now it's time for you to fight.
Just give your best to your friends.

You got the time? - Um ten past five.
You got to be joking! You can't get a taxi!
They cost a fortune.
I've only got one or two.
Keep the change.
Be seeing you then.
I suppose you've seen the film down at the Odeon?
What the centurion one? - No the space one.
No, I haven't seen it.
If you like you could come to tea and then we can go and see it.
No I can't I've got to go home.
I reckon I could get the money for both of us.
My Uncle George came to tea last Sunday.
He always leaves me some money.
We could use that if you like. - No I can't. I've got to go; see you.
It's that easy really; I can easy get some more money.
Look I don't want your bloody money; now go on buzz off!
Look it's not that I don't want to go with you.
I have to go home. It's my grandad.
He goes mad if I don't get his rotten sausages on the boil.
It's my grandad.
Can't anyone else do it?
Perhaps we can go another night.
I'm sure my mum would come 'round and give you a hand.
No, she'd have a nightmare if she saw our place.
She's always talking about people like ...
She'd come 'round I know.
Help with the washing up and put your grandad's sausages on.
He'd have a heart attack if your old lady came 'round.
You think she would? - I'm sure.
He could do with a heart attack. It'd do him good!
Girls ... we have three ardent admirers of the dance.
Maureen Peggy Muriel; come here would you?
Right. Now girls perhaps you'll take the gentlemen through their paces.
Miss pourquoi continue.
One two three. One two three. One two- Arms up please gentlemen.
One two three. Arms up gentlemen or...
...Mister Dicks will have to hear about this little escapade.
Boys energy energy; use your bodies. Think of Najinsky.
Free yourselves.
Use your bodies girls. Gracefully gracefully.
Someone's watching us!
Mummy you did promise; and his grandfather's a very old man. You did say you would.
Oh I know I promised darling but all this imagines a meeting at a moment's instant
and Mummy's simply got to go. I can't do it now can I?
You do understand darling don't you?
Perhaps another day sweetie.
Kiss Mummy goodbye.
Now don't watch too much television and wash that cup up for me sweetie will you?
She couldn't come.
She had to go to a stupid old meeting.
It was rather urgent though.
But I've come instead.
So I'll help you put the... grandad's dinner on and do the washing up. Anything you like.
Quiet...
I will not start assembly until I have quiet.
Quiet!
We will now sing hymn number...
...65 in your hymn book.
Holy holy holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee.
Holy holy holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three persons blessed Trinity!
Holy holy holy! All the saints adore Thee
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea.
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.
Daniel run this note over to Mister Dicks for me would you please?
So I said "If he's ready for a partnership well so am I!"
Well he can't be more than ah 28, 29 can he?
No... I remember when he was Daniel's age.
Well it's absolutely amazing the things one hears during... during socials...
Well eat your salad darling. Come on.
How are you getting on at school Daniel?
Oh wonderfully wonderfully aren't you darling. Come on eat up eat up.
I mean for instance there's this Mrs. Murphy comes visiting every Thursday;
just two rooms in Packington Street.
Here I want some bread.
Eight children!
Not French bread I don't like French bread.
I don't know how you do it.
What do you say to her? - I want white bread.
I don't know about this relation but you can't say I haven't stuck to it.
Can't say that. - I... I'm not stuck to it either.
I'm so oblivious to it. - To the swallow?
Look he doesn't like brown French bread either.
'Tisn't the swallow it's the birth control. - He hasn't eaten his.
She thinks all she has to do is... ask God for help.
And her troubles will go with praying.
Just by putting her hands together.
Not really the hands she's to put together.
Neville not in front of Daniel darling.
-What you want, now? -Nothing... excuse me
Oh... golly!
Well fetch a cloth sweetheart Quickly! ... move along
Well it's not her fault really it's her religion.
It's that Pope again.
Can I have your plates please?
His Holiness gets the credit for every unexpected baby that arrives between here and Camden town.
Well lift that, darling
Do you know they honestly think that family planning is done in Heaven?
All right...
Oh Daniel, darling you haven't finished your dinner.
Lovely dinner, darling.
Neville if I put the car in do I get the double relief?
Darling, is that you? - Yes darling, it's me
Although I can't see you
somehow something deep inside me tells me that you're there.
Darling I'll always be there.
You will darling... Promise you will?
Of course I will.
You know it's funny... lying here.
Makes one think of... all sorts of things.
Did you remember to get your pink dress in the cleaners love?
No I forgot.
Oh I don't know; you'll forget your head one of these days you will. Really!
The man made me forget. - What man?
The man in the raincoat in the cemetary.
The cemetary? - In the cemetary? I thought I told you not to go there.
What did he do? - Nothing.
What do you mean nothing? He, He didn't touch you did he?
What do you mean?
Did he... touch you?
No... Well not really.
What do you mean did he touch you or didn't he?
No he didn't... touch me.
Well what did he do?
Did he show you anything? - What sort of thing?
Did he show you his legs? - Oh yes.
Oh my God...
I saw his legs all right.
Now tell me what happened. I'll kill him! Where is he? Is he still there?
Mum tell me some turns to a police station.
Oh no he's not there now. - Well where is he then?
He ran away.
The brick nearly hit him.
What brick? Did you throw a brick? - Oh no the boy did.
The boy with the green ears and the ginger mustache
with the spear running through his head wearing frogman's flippers with a machine gun.
This is no joke my girl. You put the fear of God into me.
It's a good job your father's not here; you'd get a bloody good hiding!
That's the most wicked thing I've ever heard.
Now you can go to your room; you're getting a bit too licking.
I should've had my mouth washed out with soap awful if I'd told fibs like that at your age.
Goodness knows I should!
He's not got green ears at all Gran. He's quite a nice boy really.
Do you think I could sit next to you?
Well I don't know; my friend Maureen normally sits there.
Our lover boy!
Right go move over! - Oh shut up!
Want some?
Yes I see you when you walk down the street
and I'm thinking oh I wish we could meet.
Though I haven't made you look my way
I'm working on it night and day.
Oh I'd like to take you out for a ride
on my bike. You... Yes you fill me with pride.
Though our love is not yet here to stay
I'm working on it night and day.
I bet you are thinking I'm just a shy guy nobody wants to know
A bad turnout. - Gets worse every month.
Hey look what the whale's got.
She thinks she knows it all.
That one's some. Dance with that girl. - No you won't get me out there mate.
Come on Ornshaw sock it to me!
The man's got the nerve Look at him: a grown man!
Wish I'd it kempt; and neat.
Why doesn't he stick to belting the life out of us all?
All his twentied rigmarole makes me sick!
She'll front you an orange drink; there's not many people really counting here.
Yeah well there's not many people here is there?
I mean we'd be better off up west.
You know what he'll be whacking us next thing and "Hey Jude" at the same time.
I mean you don't know where you stand do you?
I mean either they're headmasters or they're not.
I mean why are they trying to be our friends?
I don't want him to be my friend do you?
I've got to dance with her.
You're mad! What do you want to do that for?
She'll only say "Buzz off!" or something. She's a bit stuck up that way.
I mean all this girl knows since it's rubbish.
Girls are a load of snotty-nosed little so-and-sos.
Look if I dance with her will you dance with her friend?
Come off it; you got to be joking!
Come on just this once.
Are you scared? - Well look; look! It looks as though she's wet herself.
All right all right. All right.
My friend and I were wondering if you would like to... - Come on do you want to dance?
You'd like to dance?
Come on you want to bloody dance!?
I don't think I want to dance with you y'know; you don't dance very well.
What do you mean I don't dance very well? - You dance stupid!
You big fat fool!
Melody, the tea's ready.
Hurry up love, your tidbits'll get cold!
I'm in the 440 yards; can't understand why.
Never ran more than 100 yards in my life.
I shouldn't have forged old Jenkins's signature on my card.
Well I'm in the 220. Wish I wasn't.
Rather be in the long jump; there no one can see you.
Make a fool of yourself in private.
Yeah but that's not what that's always all about is it?
I mean you can't have people waving about winners if there's no burks like you and me
running around making fools of ourselves come in last.
I mean some people are winners and some people are losers.
Who says who's going to be what?
Don't ask me. That's all done before we get on this Earth. I mean: you see Him up there?
He says eh "You you're going to be writ up on the triple jump..."
"...and you you're going to be bloody useless!"
I mean who landed me with her?
Him up there when it” Once He's got it in for you He's” You're right out the pictures.
Look I don't know what you're worried about. You haven't got it that bad.
Why haven't I?
Well take for instance...
This: there's your painting; you're good at that. There's your model making; you're good at that.
There's eh there's your stamp collection.
Now think of all the kids who'd like to have a stamp collection like yours.
That's just the trouble. I don't like stamps anymore.
Don't worry. We'll have the last laugh and it's not "and Him" up there.
We'll jet this school likely
give old Dicks over there the old V sign and shoo off and do whatever we want to do.
There's a light
some kind of light... that's never shown on me.
I want my life to be to live with you
live with you...
There's a way... everybody'd say...
to do each and every little thing
but what does it bring if I ain't got you... ain't got you?
Hey babe!
You don't know what it's like.
Baby you don't know what it's like
to love somebody... to love somebody
the way I love you.
My friend, if I see your face again;
I know my friend's mind.
You ain't got to be so blind! I'm glad; so so so glad
I'm a man can't you see what I am?
I live and I breathe for you;
but what good does it do if I ain't got you... ain't got you?
Hey babe!
You don't know what it's like. Baby you don't know what it's like
to love somebody... to love somebody
the way I love you.
(Oh no no!) You don't know what it's like.
Baby you don't know what it's like
to love somebody... to love somebody
the way I love you.
(No no no no no no no!) You don't know what it's like.
(You don't know what it's like!) You don't know what it's like
All right. Open your Young Latin Scholars Book One, with the grey cover;
Page 27, the section I asked you to prepare... around the form.
Right Latimer: read and translate please.
Come on Latimer. It is prepared homework.
Empres-"ee"ma Latimer: "ee"ma not "aye"ma.
Not "ass" Latimer: "ahs."
Lord knows you should be able to pronounce that.
Right Latimer. Translate please.
Come on Latimer it should be prepared homework!
I'm afraid I haven't done it sir.
Take two Latimer. Versery 3:30.
Translate Ornshaw.
Got me a cold sir.
Take two Ornshaw. Versery 3:30. Translate, Fensham.
Worrying? Don't worry about it! Stick with me you'll be OK.
Ornshaw and Latimer. Come in gentlemen.
Right, Romulus and Remus. Stand over there.
Stand up Ornshaw, lad. Stand up;
and vacate your mouth.
- Now, why are you here, Ornshaw? - Because you invited me, sir!
And why did I invite you, Ornshaw?
Well because I couldn't translate the Latin, sir.
Why, Ornshaw? Why?
Because it's a bloody silly out-of-date language do you mean, sir?
Two was it, Ornshaw? I think we make it four!
And why do you think it's a... silly out-of-date language, Ornshaw?
Well because I couldn't speak to a dead Roman
even if I knew the bloody lingo, sir.
Now, do not vex me, Ornshaw; do not vex me, lad!
I think we make that a nice round "six penance imo".
That's "six of the best" in Latin.
Game, set, and match to me... I think.
Julius Caesar here is going to be very displeased with you, Ornshaw.
Bend over, please.
Now next one please, Latimer.
Satchel off, boy!
Going to orchestra practice?
You waiting for old Dicks, are you?
Well you you'll be late home.
Why don't you shoo off now? There's no point in hanging around.
Is old Swainscott waiting for you, is she? Well she she'll be gone now.
Why don't you pop along? I don't know why you're hanging around here, honest I don't.
I told you it'd be easy, didn't I?
Come on, Danny. Don't let her see you cry!
I don't know who she's hanging out for. Do you?
I told her to go off, but she keeps on, hanging about. Tell her to buzz off, go on. Give us that.
He's a scream old Dicks, isn't he? His little Julius Caesar...
You can buzz off now love. You know, turn on. Toodle-loo.
See, I thought we'd go to the bomb show, all day. It's got the most incredible bomb you've...
...ever seen in your life. He's got a C...
He's got a Coca-Cola bottle and he and he's soaked it in.. And he; He's got some socks and soaked it in petrol
and he got some phosphorus he; It were nicked from the lab.
After that, I thought we shoot down the arcade. Um, I've I've got millions of pennies.
We could go on on the tank firing range or .. or
Or, um.. the fruit machines Danny; you like the fruit machines.
Or, um... the football game. You know you like having a go on that. Um...
We could go to the Odeon and see that picture you was talking about the the space one.
Or, um go to the zoo... the museums... anywhere!
Danny... Danny... Danny
Danny!
When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why the time has passed us by.
Someone else moved in from far away.
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
and you don't ask the time of day
but you and I our love will never die.
I guess we'll cry come first of May.
The apple tree that grew for you and me;
I watched the apples falling one by one
and I recall the moment of them all:
the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small

When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
Don't ask me why the time has passed us by.
Someone else moved in from far away...
May I have my bag, please?
Yes, here it is...
My friend Murielia, you know the big one
Well, she says that you've been going around telling people that you love me.
I don't mind it; it's just that... Well, people laugh at you, don't they?
And well, if you have to tell someone... Why not tell me?
I mean, I was the last to know!
Nice here, isn't it?
Yeah!
My mum doesn't let me come in here, but I'm not frightened. Are you?
No!
That gravestone there:
"Here lies my beloved and beautiful Ella Jane"
"Wife, and lifelong friend."
"Thank you for 50 years of happiness. Laid to rest: July the 7th, 1893."
"Henry James McDevott gone to join his Ella Jane, September the 11th, 1893."
He only lasted two months after she died.
He must have loved her very much.
50 years' happiness... How long's 50 years?
150 school terms, not including holidays.
Will you love me that long?
I don't think you will.
Of course; I've loved you a whole week already, haven't I?
The apple tree that grew for you and me
I watched the apples falling one by one

He's come to tea.
His name's Daniel.
Pleased to meet you, Daniel.
I suppose I've got enough tea. I bought extra 'cause your dad's home.
He's out on bail!
I'll take your satchel for you.
Oh, thanks!
Well hello home, Melody love!
How have you been? - All right thank you.
Who's this? - He's a little mate from school aren't you, dear?
Are you coming in then, love?
Come on up to the table.
Nice bit of ham, Flo. - Not bad is it?
You in the uh in the Boy Scouts, Donald? Daniel?
No, the BB.
I was in the Boy Scouts. Ha ha dear me! Marvelous it was.
All those steaming hot cups of cocoa suet pudding;
sing songs around the camp fire
"Oh we're riding along on the Christopher White! And the sun.."
Oh gum some of the things we used to get up to... Oh, dear me!
You know, when the new boy arrived we used to mix some boot black
and tooth paste and spread it all over it
Reg, do you mind? We're eating!
I always think ham is nicest straight off the bone, you know that?
Always is.
Go to the pictures much do you, David? - Daniel.
Oh yes! Quite a bit. - When I think of the pictures, I always remember my father.
My father... Yes, when I used to ask him for six quid for the pictures
he'd say "There's pictures on the wall!" "But I want to see moving pictures!" I used to say.
"I'll make them bloody move!" ...and threw his boots at the wall!
My auntie always used to say that moving pictures ruined your eyesight.
Would you like some fish paste, Daniel?
The continual flickering she used to say put your eyeballs off center.
That reminds me of my Uncle Roger.
He was deaf ever since the bomb hit Berwolf Street during the war, you know.
Anyway recently, He read this ad in the paper about readjusting the balance of ear.
So he tried it and it worked.
So um, he was overjoyed.
He'd been deaf for twenty years.
So anyway, they had a bit of a celebration you know.
And uh he was opening a bottle of champagne. The cork flew out knocked his eye out!
Life can be very cruel, like that.
Quiet... quiet... quiet!
I'm just a clown that used to run around;
I used to have a million friends.
I used to start where everybody ends
but I... just give my best to my friends.
I've done my shows. Everybody knows;
I nearly sold all my clothes.
One man can give; another has to lend
So I... just give my best to my friends. (And so you should!)
And when you think that your life isn't right
you know the day isn't always like night.
You've had your peace; now it's time for you to fight.
Just give your best to your friends.

I should be doing English with Miss Fairfax by now.
What should you be doing? - Um don't know; Geography, I think.
I quite like Geography. - So do I.
Melody... - Yes?
Do you like new Maths? - They're OK.
I think I like History best.
Well sometimes I like it but mostly, I hate it.
My dad doesn't like the seaside. He says he gets these sounds in his ears or something.
Whenever we go to the seaside Dad always stays at home;
in the pubs mostly.
We always travel together.
We don't get out of the car though really.
They generally have a row on the way down and...
don't speak to each other until we get back home.
Hey Melody... look what I've got!
That's good. - See?
Shall we get married?
One day, perhaps.
Why does the water always seep away?
How old do you have to be, you reckon?
Perhaps you could put the stones in first; then maybe it'll stay.
I don't know; as old as our parents, I suppose.
If we wait that long, we might be old miseries.
Most old people I know are old miseries.
I honestly don't know; when you're older you're supposed to know it all.
Perhaps that's what makes them so fed up.
Oh, I don't know.
I really don't know.
Come over here.
So, we've taken it upon ourselves to move the summer holidays forward a trifle, have we?
And where did you decide to go whilst your colleagues went about their daily scholastic duties?
Theatres Fanfare?
That's always a favorite.
Theatres Fanfare, was it?
The seaside, sir.
The seaside?
You do realize the enormity of this fundamental breach of school discipline?
It's ... It's not a minor offense Latimer and uh... Perkins; not a minor offense.
If you're galavanting off somewhere you can't be at school
and if you can't be at school we can't teach you; and if we can't teach you
you'll end up a bunch of raving imbeciles, like the generation above you.
As you know, I don't encourage corporal punishment in this school
but there are occasions when a lesson has to be taught.
However... you're both rather young.
One, hesitates to use extremely severe measures.
But for your own good, try to see the error of these immature pranks.
Think of your careers; think of life's rich
tapestry that lies before you...
Look, I understand; I was young myself once a long time ago of course.
But I realized eventually what my priorities were.
So do we, sir.
So do you what?
Realize what... our, eh priorities are, sir.
Good for you Lathan... eh Latimer.
I see our little pow-wow has had some effect, ey?
Got your priorities right, have you?
Yes sir. We want to get married!
Oh!... My word, you've got a lot to learn!
I've heard some funny things in my time...
I don't think it's very funny, sir!
You don't think it's very funny? - No, sir.
And you, young lady? Do you think it's very funny?
Not really, sir.
I assume you've already promised your fair-freckled,
first-form hand inmarriage to this young gentleman?
I don't really know, sir. I don't really understand what it all means, sir.
You don't understand what it all means?
... You don't really understand what it all means!
You're treating us as though we were stupid!
All we want to do is to be with one another all the time.
We thought that meant getting married, doesn't it?!
It's not meant to be funny! Don't you understand?
Now look here young man. I've been extremely patient with you.
I'm willing to overlook your gross ignorance of ...
... of the young lady; Lord knows we've only ourselves to blame for that.
But your impertinence is getting a little out of hand.
The matter is finished. Do you understand me? Finished!!
"WHEN IS THE WEDDING DANNY LOVER BOY?"
Burgie says "Is it too late to propose?"
I suppose you've got her mother's approval.
Hope she doesn't forget to come to the wedding.
What the devil do you think you're playing at you terrible hooligans?
Now all of you get back to your places! Go on sit down and keep quiet!
And open your young Latin primers to page 24.
Talk to you later Ornshaw.
It's a great pity you're not more in love with your work Latimer.
I'm sorry Danny. I didn't mean to.
You really like this little lad do you?
Well that's fine. We always looked forward to you bringing your boyfriends home.
Heâ€” He seems a nice type of... lad.
That's just the trouble though: he's only a little lad... and you're only a little girl.
Our little sunshine your mum calls you.
I know it's difficult for you to understand love but people just don't get married at your age.
They generally wait to see if they like one another when they're older.
How old?
Well... In their twenties... Older sometimes.
That's twice as old as I am now!
Well I know it is love... Only seems like yesterday I was changing your nappies.
We know but we want to be together now!
Think of all the schooling you've got to do yet love. Well you like school don't you?
I've got all your reports. We often look at them don't we love?
I know but I like being with Daniel more than I like doing Geography.
Sweetheart... there are lots of things... we haven't explained to you yet about:
life and... all sorts of... things.
I know but why is it so difficult when all I want to do is be happy?
We want you to be happy love.
Then why can't you help me instead of keep putting things in my way?
I just don't understand it I just can't think why it's so terrible.
Please tell me because I just don't understand.
Good morning Mrs. Latimer! What can I do for you this splendid morning?
Elope? What do you mean elope?
Oh I'm sure you're quite wrong. I saw them in class myself scarcely ten minutes ago.
But of course I'm sure!
Look if you like I'll pop down myself and make certain but I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
Hello headmaster's secretary; can I help you?
Jones shouldn't you be taking 2C for English?
Well I'm supposed to but they never turned up.
Never turned up? - They didn't come back after morning break.
OK where are they? - Where are who?
Class boy the class.
They're going to get married. - Where boy where?
Under the arches down by the railway line. - The railway line.
and the people were all shouting: "Just wait 'til Lenin gets here!"
Right well um... carry on reading until I get back.
"-of common destiny. It is twice blessed. It blesseth him that gives-"
No thank you I've had mine.
"'Tis mightiest in-"
Yes of course.
Proceed with the lesson until I return.
No it's all right Saunders. I'll take over. You hold the fort.
What's going on? Where are they?
Don't worry; follow me. Everything's under control.
There he goes!
I'll go quick and cover his retreat. - Yes yes follow him. He'll... He'll lead us to them...
Miss Dimkins cover Dicks.
The rest of you we'll comb that area.
Dearly beloved we are gathered here today in the sight of God
to join together this man and woman in holy matrimony.
Shut up...!
Well it's not funny it's serious!
Wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife and live together after God's ordinance and uh...
Will you? - I will.
Yeah I thought you might.
When Dicks flushes them out I'll cut off the left flank; Miss you bring up the rear.
Wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband and
live together after God's ordinance in the holy
Will thou obey... Let's see...
Will you? - I will.
Good. Right. I now pronounce you man and....
Quick! Get out! Dicks is coming!
You who are on the road
must have a code
that you can live by
and so become yourself
because the past
is just a goodbye.
Teach your children well;
their fathers' hell
did slowly go by
and feed them on your dreams
the one they picked
the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
if they told you you would cry
so just look at them and sigh
and know they love you.
I've done it!
I'll get you, Ornshaw!
So long, and don't forget to change at Clapham Junction!
Now, now, Ornshaw... Control yourself!
Come on Mister Dicks take it like a man!
Come back here you fat beast!
...and know they love you.
Teach your parents well
their children's hell
will slowly go by
and feed them on your dreams
the one they picked
the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
if they told you you would cry
so just look at them and sigh
and know they love you
