My Beautiful Laundrette

en
00:00:34 Hell.
00:00:35 We're moving out.
00:00:36 Got a fire?
00:00:38 Too early in the morning.
00:00:42 All right.
00:00:55 Get out of there. Come on.
00:03:16 Come here.
00:03:23 I'm fixing you up with a job...
00:03:27 with your uncle.
00:03:30 Work now, till you go back to college.
00:03:34 If your face gets any longer
00:03:41 or I'll commit suicide.
00:03:49 Bilquis?
00:03:51 Good.
00:03:53 And Tania and the other girls?
00:04:00 I say...
00:04:02 can't you give Omar some work
00:04:08 Come on, yaar.
00:04:09 The bugger is your nephew, after all.
00:04:12 He's on dole...
00:04:14 like everyone else in England.
00:04:19 He sweeps the dust
00:04:21 he squeezes shirts...
00:04:23 and he heats soup.
00:04:25 I mean, that hardly stretches him.
00:04:28 His food stretches me.
00:04:31 Oh, come on, yaar.
00:04:35 One thing more, try and
00:04:39 I'm not sure his penis
00:04:57 We've got one parking space.
00:04:59 £25 a week.
00:05:04 And from this afternoon...
00:05:08 we're offering a special
00:05:11 clean-the-car service.
00:05:13 New thing.
00:05:20 Is that your car?
00:05:22 Why you feeling it up, then? Come here.
00:05:25 Here, I said.
00:05:35 This bastard
00:05:38 You'll be seeing a lot of him.
00:05:39 I've heard many great things
00:05:41 I must see him, but where is the time?
00:05:44 You're too busy keeping this damn country
00:05:48 So, your papa got thrown out
00:05:52 Pissed, was he?
00:05:54 Can you wash a car?
00:05:56 Have you washed a car before?
00:05:59 Your uncle can't pay you very much...
00:06:02 but at least you'll be able to afford
00:06:04 and you'll be with your own people,
00:06:07 Mrs. Thatcher will be happy with me.
00:06:14 It's easy to wash a car.
00:06:16 You just wet a rag and rub.
00:06:19 You know how to rub, don't you?
00:06:23 Do this one first.
00:06:25 Carefully...
00:06:26 as if you were restoring
00:06:30 It's my car.
00:06:33 - Hi, baby.
00:06:48 Here.
00:07:02 What do you think I am, your trampoline?
00:07:09 Speak my language, damn it.
00:07:11 I'll do nothing else, Nasser.
00:07:16 - Do you think we'll ever part?
00:07:19 I'm serious.
00:07:23 Just keep moving.
00:07:25 Just there.
00:07:27 I love you.
00:07:29 Darling.
00:07:30 Christ, you move like a niner.
00:07:33 I love you, too.
00:07:35 - Yes, I'm taking you.
00:07:37 - Campton Park. Saturday.
00:07:41 - I've got big plans for the boy.
00:07:56 By the way, Rachel is my old friend.
00:07:58 Hello.
00:07:59 How's Auntie Bilquis?
00:08:01 At home with the kids.
00:08:02 Papa sends his love.
00:08:05 Have you ever been to a high-class place
00:08:08 I suppose you spend most of the time
00:08:12 - Lf I pick Papa up, Uncle...
00:08:15 ...and squeezed him,
00:08:20 I often imagine I'd get...
00:08:21 Two fat slaps.
00:08:23 Two bottles of pure vodka
00:08:26 Like a French letter.
00:08:27 What are you talking, madman?
00:08:29 I love my brother like I love you.
00:08:32 - I don't understand how you can love me.
00:08:36 You can't be sure that I am.
00:08:38 Nasser.
00:08:39 She's right.
00:08:41 Don't deliberately make me laugh at you...
00:08:43 when I've brought you here to
00:08:46 Now, move closer.
00:08:51 Get up.
00:08:55 In this damn country,
00:08:59 you can get anything you want.
00:09:01 It's all spread out and available.
00:09:04 That's why I believe in England.
00:09:07 Only you have to know
00:09:12 He's saying that he wants to help you.
00:09:16 What do you want to do with me?
00:09:18 What am I going to do with you?
00:09:21 Turn you into something damn good.
00:09:24 Your father can't do it, can he?
00:09:31 Here, damn fool.
00:09:34 Take it.
00:09:36 You're like a son to me.
00:09:38 To both of us.
00:09:55 Like the work?
00:09:59 Come on, for Christ's sake.
00:10:02 Help me with my accounts.
00:10:32 Kiss Rachel.
00:10:48 I said give her a kiss, not a shower.
00:10:50 - I'll finish your paperwork tonight, Uncle.
00:10:54 - I'm going to promote him.
00:10:56 You come to my house next week,
00:10:58 - It's a long way. How will he get there?
00:11:02 The keys are in the office.
00:11:06 I've got a real challenge lined up for him.
00:11:44 You must be getting married.
00:11:48 Why else do you dress
00:11:51 I'm going to Uncle's house, Papa.
00:11:52 He's given me a car.
00:11:54 Brakes must be faulty.
00:11:57 Tell me one thing...
00:12:00 'cause this is something I don't understand.
00:12:04 How is it that scrubbing cars
00:12:10 It gets me out of the house.
00:12:14 Don't get too involved with that crook.
00:12:17 You've got to go to college.
00:12:46 This is my nephew, Omar.
00:12:48 Auntie Fasia.
00:12:53 Auntie Farida.
00:12:57 Auntie Salma.
00:13:03 And this is Cherry, Salim's wife.
00:13:08 Of course you remember
00:13:12 He has his family's cheekbones, Bilquis.
00:13:14 I know all your gorgeous family in Karachi.
00:13:17 You've been there?
00:13:19 You stupid.
00:13:21 What a stupid.
00:13:23 It's my home.
00:13:24 How could anyone in their right mind...
00:13:26 call this silly little island off Europe
00:13:30 Every day in Karachi...
00:13:32 your other uncles and cousins
00:13:35 for bridge, booze and VCR.
00:13:37 Cherry, my little nephew knows nothing
00:13:41 God, I'm sick of hearing
00:13:45 People should make up their minds
00:13:50 Your uncle's next door.
00:14:02 Can you see me later?
00:14:04 I'm so bored with these people.
00:14:06 Games room, okay?
00:14:21 I presume my brother, the boy's papa...
00:14:24 was out screwing some barmaid,
00:14:27 So, when these damn things went on...
00:14:30 I got out of bed, went to the balcony
00:14:34 And there was my brother,
00:14:39 and they were completely without clothes.
00:14:44 Blue with cold, like two bars of soap.
00:14:49 This I refer to as my brother's blue period.
00:14:53 - But what happened to the woman?
00:14:59 Come along.
00:15:06 Your father is a good man.
00:15:08 So this is the famous Hussein's son.
00:15:10 The exact bastard.
00:15:12 My blue brother
00:15:16 And a great drinker.
00:15:17 He was to the bottle
00:15:21 But you are to the bookies
00:15:26 Your brother was a clever one.
00:15:28 You used to carry his typewriter.
00:15:30 Isn't he coming tonight?
00:15:32 - What ever happened to him?
00:15:35 - I meant his career.
00:15:38 What chance would an Englishman
00:15:42 - on newspapers?
00:15:49 What chance would an Englishman
00:15:54 What chance a racist Englishman
00:15:57 that we haven't taken it from him
00:16:02 Best phrased, yaar?
00:16:05 Zaki, you need a stiff drink, man,
00:16:09 Nasser, please, God.
00:16:12 I'm on the verge already.
00:16:17 Can I make you a drink?
00:16:19 Make him a man first.
00:16:21 Give him a drink, Zaki. I like him.
00:16:24 He's our future.
00:16:41 It's been years.
00:16:43 And you're looking really good now.
00:16:48 I think we understand each other.
00:16:57 Were they being cruel to you
00:17:01 You don't mind?
00:17:03 I think I should harden myself.
00:17:06 Wow. What are you into?
00:17:13 Your father's done well.
00:17:16 Has he?
00:17:31 He adores you.
00:17:34 I expect he wants you
00:17:38 He wouldn't think of asking me.
00:17:42 But he is too vicious to people in his work.
00:17:46 He doesn't want you to take over
00:17:50 What's wrong with it?
00:17:52 And he has a mistress, doesn't he?
00:17:54 Rachel.
00:17:56 Yes.
00:17:57 I can tell from your face.
00:17:59 Does he love her?
00:18:01 Yes.
00:18:06 Please, Tania, can you come and help me?
00:18:10 Families.
00:18:12 I hate families.
00:18:23 Take care of him.
00:18:28 Good night, Uncle.
00:18:29 Take my advice. There's money in muck.
00:18:33 What is it that the gora Englishman
00:18:37 Clean clothes.
00:18:40 Go on.
00:18:42 Pick it up.
00:18:47 Drive us back, will you?
00:18:49 You can pick your own car up tomorrow.
00:19:40 Hello, darling.
00:19:43 Fucking nice, man, I want to see it!
00:19:49 Get off the car, will you?
00:19:51 Get off the fucking car!
00:20:28 It's me.
00:20:36 I know who it is.
00:20:40 How are you? All right? Working?
00:20:43 What are you doing now?
00:20:46 This kind of thing.
00:20:47 Omar, come back! Come...
00:20:51 What are you now, a chauffeur?
00:20:53 No, I'm onto something.
00:20:59 What?
00:21:00 I'll let you know.
00:21:02 Still living at the same place?
00:21:04 No, I don't get on with my mom and dad.
00:21:08 You?
00:21:10 She died last year, my mother.
00:21:13 Jumped onto the railway lines.
00:21:17 I heard.
00:21:23 All the trains stopped.
00:21:26 I'm still there.
00:21:28 Got my number?
00:21:34 Like my friends?
00:21:38 Ring us, then.
00:21:40 I will.
00:21:51 Leave them there.
00:21:53 We can do something now.
00:21:56 Just us.
00:21:59 Can't.
00:22:31 What are you doing?
00:22:34 I want to pee.
00:22:36 Can't you wait for me to take you?
00:22:39 My tool will drop off
00:22:44 You know who I met? Johnny.
00:22:49 The boy who came here dressed as a
00:22:53 He was a friend once, for years.
00:22:59 There were times when he didn't deserve
00:23:04 Christ, I've known him since I was 5.
00:23:09 He went too far.
00:23:18 They hate us in England.
00:23:20 And all you can do is to kiss their asses.
00:23:26 Think of yourself as a little Britisher.
00:23:32 I'm being promoted...
00:23:37 to Uncle's laundrette.
00:23:49 Illustrate your washing methods.
00:24:18 It's nothing but a toilet and a youth club.
00:24:21 A constant boil on my bum.
00:24:25 How's your foot?
00:24:27 Is it? Good.
00:24:30 Do you fancy coming for a walk?
00:24:37 - Where did you get those?
00:24:43 You little bastard.
00:24:49 What?
00:24:50 I'll come round then, shall I?
00:24:53 All right, see you in a minute.
00:25:03 All right, get started.
00:25:04 - You have the broom, move it.
00:25:08 What are you, Labor Party?
00:25:10 I want to be manager of this place.
00:25:13 Please let me.
00:25:16 Here I was thinking how to tell your father...
00:25:19 how four punks nearly drowned you
00:25:22 On the other hand, a little water on
00:25:26 Okay, I'll charge you basic rent.
00:25:29 Above that, you keep.
00:25:34 You're everything to me.
00:25:37 Of course I prefer you to Jenny.
00:26:23 Get up.
00:26:25 Please, Salim.
00:26:26 I don't know how to make this place work.
00:26:31 Never make a penny here.
00:26:34 That's why I've decided
00:26:38 Go to this address near the airport.
00:26:42 and bring them straight back to my flat.
00:26:46 That's all.
00:27:19 Go and sit down.
00:27:32 - You're okay? No problems?
00:27:41 It's one of the best collections
00:27:45 I patronize many painters.
00:28:03 Right.
00:28:08 I won't be a minute.
00:28:10 Make yourself comfortable.
00:28:13 Watch something, if you like.
00:28:15 You're one of us now.
00:28:54 Hello, can I speak to Johnny, please?
00:28:59 Right. Do you know where he's staying?
00:29:03 Are you sure?
00:29:05 No, I just wanted to help him.
00:29:08 If you see him...
00:29:10 ask him to ring Omo.
00:29:22 Is that the tape playing?
00:29:24 - What the hell are you doing?
00:29:27 Not these. Who gave you permission
00:29:30 It's just a tape. What are you doing?
00:29:33 What business?
00:29:43 Nasser tells me you're ambitious.
00:29:45 But you failed your exams twice.
00:29:48 You've done nothing with the laundrette,
00:29:53 Become like those white assholes
00:29:56 Your family, rich and powerful back home,
00:30:09 Go on, fuck off.
00:30:23 Have you seen Johnny?
00:30:25 Piss off back to the jungle, wog-boy.
00:30:41 These people, they're too tough for you.
00:30:46 I'll tell Nasser you're through with them.
00:30:52 Hello?
00:30:54 Why did you do that?
00:30:58 Useless fool.
00:31:06 - Hello?
00:31:08 - What?
00:31:10 - What?
00:31:16 Didn't I say you should've been a doctor?
00:31:20 - Hello?
00:31:22 Johnny.
00:31:24 See you later, Johnny-boy.
00:31:27 I'll throw you out of this flat...
00:31:29 if you ever bring
00:31:44 I'm dead impressed by all this.
00:31:48 You were the one at school, the one I liked.
00:31:52 All the Pakis like me.
00:31:54 I've been through all that,
00:31:57 and with people like you.
00:32:00 But now there's some pretty big things
00:32:04 I need to raise money
00:32:07 And I want you to help me with that.
00:32:09 I want you to work here with me.
00:32:15 What kind of work is it?
00:32:17 A variety.
00:32:19 Variety of menial things.
00:32:23 Cleaning windows kind of thing?
00:32:25 Sure.
00:32:27 And you can start
00:32:31 Now?
00:32:32 I want everything done now.
00:32:35 That's the only attitude,
00:33:13 Christ.
00:33:14 Sorry, what happened before.
00:33:17 Too much to drink.
00:33:20 Just go on another little errand for me.
00:33:24 For £50.
00:33:27 You little bastard.
00:33:34 All right.
00:34:18 Come on.
00:34:21 I saw Salim's game.
00:34:25 Cut him out.
00:34:28 You know where to sell this stuff?
00:34:31 Don't you?
00:34:32 I wouldn't be working for you now
00:34:35 This means more.
00:34:37 Real work. Expansion.
00:34:41 Salim will kill us.
00:34:42 We'll resell it fast, tonight.
00:34:45 Come on. I couldn't be doing any of this
00:34:56 Do you want some red?
00:35:26 Will you excuse me a moment?
00:35:28 Let's have a private chat.
00:36:22 You can go.
00:36:24 You haven't paid me.
00:36:27 I'm not in the mood.
00:36:29 Nothing happened to you on the way here?
00:36:33 No.
00:36:38 Something may happen to you
00:37:09 She's nice.
00:38:07 Gosh.
00:38:10 Tell me a about the beach in Bombay,
00:38:14 Or the house in Lahore...
00:38:15 when Auntie Nina put the garden hose
00:38:18 'cause he wouldn't get out of bed,
00:38:32 You look beautiful.
00:38:34 What about my laundrette?
00:38:37 Damn these stories
00:38:40 - What are you doing, boy?
00:38:44 Lt'll be going into profit any day now,
00:38:48 of astounding competence
00:38:52 to look after it with me.
00:38:59 Yasmeen, fiddle with my toes.
00:39:04 What bloke?
00:39:06 He's called Johnny.
00:39:08 And how are you going to pay him?
00:39:12 Nasser, sahab.
00:39:16 Zaki!
00:39:19 Everything is good.
00:39:21 But...
00:39:26 - Speak in English, so he can understand.
00:39:30 Not only that, I've given him
00:39:33 I know.
00:39:35 But this is the point.
00:39:40 Typically English, if I can say that.
00:39:43 You haven't fucked
00:39:46 I don't think you should talk to him like that.
00:39:48 - Why, is he royalty?
00:39:54 She's a hot girl.
00:39:56 In my small opinion,
00:40:01 Your mouth has become very big lately.
00:40:05 Well?
00:40:07 All right.
00:40:08 Let's all take it easy.
00:40:13 Who is that sitting in the drive?
00:40:18 Some friend of yours?
00:40:19 - Zaki, please go and see who it is.
00:40:23 My friend. He works for me.
00:40:26 No one works without my permission.
00:40:30 Tania, bring him in.
00:40:44 How much good would come of us fucking,
00:40:48 I know why you put up with them.
00:40:51 'Cause there's so much you want.
00:40:55 He's a great man.
00:41:02 Why did you leave him sitting out here?
00:41:05 He's lower class.
00:41:08 Unless he's doing a burglary.
00:41:10 My father wants to see you.
00:41:13 - How's Salim today?
00:41:18 Eyelash.
00:41:26 I said to Miss Street,
00:41:31 Tania, please.
00:41:37 - You like Tania?
00:41:39 I'll see what I can do.
00:41:41 And now on to business.
00:41:43 I've been to see the laundrette.
00:41:45 You boys will make
00:41:48 You need nothing more there.
00:41:50 But in exchange...
00:41:53 I want you to do something.
00:41:55 You look like a tough chap.
00:41:57 I've got some bastard tenants
00:42:03 No. I don't do nothing rough no more.
00:42:06 I'm not looking for a mass murderer,
00:42:11 - What does it involve, please?
00:42:15 Your favorite subject, Salim.
00:42:17 For Christ's sake.
00:42:20 What's this "unscrewing"?
00:42:22 You're getting into
00:42:26 What the hell else is there left for you
00:42:30 Send him to the garage and call Tania.
00:42:34 We'll drink to Thatcher
00:42:37 - Do they go together?
00:42:41 - To us.
00:42:53 Timber's coming tomorrow morning.
00:42:57 I've had a vision of how our place can be.
00:43:00 Why don't people like laundrettes?
00:43:02 Because they're like toilets.
00:43:04 This could be a Ritz among laundrettes.
00:43:08 A laundrette as big as the Ritz.
00:43:11 Yes.
00:43:43 Clean it out.
00:43:46 Why are you working for these people?
00:43:48 Pakis?
00:43:51 It's work, that's why.
00:43:53 I want to do some work,
00:43:56 - What, you're jealous?
00:43:59 I don't like to see one of our blokes
00:44:03 They came over here to work for us.
00:44:05 That's why we brought them over. Okay?
00:44:21 Don't cut yourself off from your own people.
00:44:25 There's no one else who really wants you.
00:44:29 Everyone has to belong.
00:44:40 I can't ask you in.
00:44:44 You better get back to your father.
00:44:46 I didn't think you'd ever mention him.
00:44:49 He helped me, didn't he,
00:44:53 Yeah.
00:44:55 And what did you do but hurt him?
00:45:00 I want to forget all of them things.
00:47:18 I passed by the laundrette.
00:47:21 So, you gave them the money to do it up?
00:47:24 Where did they get it from, I wonder?
00:47:26 Government grant. Almost just like us, yaar.
00:47:30 It's your bloody family.
00:47:32 So, like you,
00:47:38 Come on in.
00:47:42 That joker's a bad influence on Omar,
00:47:46 There's some things between them
00:47:53 So they let you out of prison.
00:47:56 Unscrew.
00:48:39 He's changed the lock.
00:48:40 You better take off the whole door,
00:48:44 He's only a poet with no money.
00:48:52 I ain't hurting nobody, okay?
00:49:08 That door you've just taken off,
00:49:11 Excuse me.
00:49:12 I'm just a poor man. This is my room.
00:49:22 Thieving Uncle Tom parasite! I will kill you!
00:49:26 Glory of God!
00:49:38 Throw this bugger out!
00:49:47 Filthy, imperialist swine! Working dog!
00:49:51 Enemy of the Third World!
00:49:53 You and your kind, your days are numbered!
00:50:02 Doesn't look too good, does it?
00:50:05 Why not?
00:50:06 What would your enemies
00:50:09 Ain't exactly integration, is it?
00:50:12 I'm a professional businessman,
00:50:16 And there is no question of race
00:50:25 I'll forward your mail!
00:50:38 Do you like the room?
00:50:43 Omar says you have nowhere to live.
00:50:47 - Why not?
00:50:50 That's confirmed beautifully.
00:50:52 But can you unblock?
00:50:57 Can you keep this zoo under control?
00:51:22 I wish Salim could see this.
00:51:24 Why?
00:51:26 He's on to us.
00:51:27 Yes, he's just biding his time,
00:51:31 - Moose, make yourself useful.
00:51:35 Make sure you pay the rent, or you'll
00:51:41 Moose.
00:51:52 That'll do.
00:52:04 Let's open. The whole world's waiting.
00:52:07 I've invited Nasser to the launch,
00:52:10 - They're not here yet.
00:52:13 We can't move till he arrives.
00:52:18 - What time did they say they'd be here?
00:52:22 They ain't gonna come.
00:52:26 Follow me.
00:52:52 - Shall I open the champagne?
00:52:55 You did, man.
00:52:56 This whole stinking area's on its knees,
00:53:01 The jewel in the jacks, here,
00:53:05 Jesus Christ.
00:53:09 Do you want to open the place up?
00:53:21 Not till Papa comes, remember?
00:53:24 Your father?
00:53:26 He went out of his way with you...
00:53:29 and with all my friends.
00:53:32 He did, didn't he?
00:53:33 What you on about, man?
00:53:36 About how, years later,
00:53:40 And what were they doing?
00:53:42 What?
00:53:43 Marching.
00:53:46 Marching through Lewisham.
00:53:49 It was bricks and bottles and Union Jacks.
00:53:53 It was "lmmigrants Out," kill us.
00:53:56 People we knew.
00:54:00 And it was you.
00:54:03 He saw you marching,
00:54:06 Don't deny it.
00:54:18 Papa hated himself and he hated his job.
00:54:22 He was afraid on the streets for me...
00:54:25 so he took it out on her,
00:54:33 Such failure.
00:54:38 Such emptiness.
00:55:21 Come on, hurry up. We're waiting.
00:55:27 There ain't nothing I can say
00:55:32 There's only things I can do to show you...
00:55:36 that I am with you.
00:55:39 What a beautiful thing
00:55:43 Oh, God. And with music, too.
00:55:44 It's like a wonderful ship. I'd no idea.
00:55:48 He's a marvel, that boy, I tell you.
00:55:50 - You don't have to tell me.
00:55:53 At least.
00:55:55 Am I a bad man to you?
00:55:57 You are sometimes careless.
00:56:03 Dance with me.
00:56:08 We are learning.
00:56:10 But where are those two buggers?
00:56:31 Johnny did all the physical work on this.
00:56:33 You're fond of that boy.
00:56:35 I want to do something more
00:56:38 And you're tired of work.
00:56:40 It's time I became a holy man.
00:56:43 - A sadhu of South London.
00:56:46 But first, we must marry Omar off.
00:57:32 - Shit!
00:57:44 What the hell are you doing? Sunbathing?
00:57:47 Asleep, Uncle. We were shagged out.
00:57:51 Where's Papa?
00:58:00 Would you do us the honor, madam?
00:58:03 - Love to.
00:58:09 Okay.
00:58:45 We thought we'd do the bloody area
00:58:48 Lift up the place a bit.
00:58:50 I can't do that. Here you are.
00:58:56 - Hello, welcome.
00:59:00 Enjoying your wash?
00:59:06 Lovely.
00:59:10 Laundrettes are impossible.
00:59:14 Two ulcers, plus piles.
00:59:17 Hello? Angela?
00:59:20 It's me.
00:59:21 - What's your surname?
00:59:24 That's it. I know your mother.
00:59:40 I thought Papa
00:59:43 He said he never visits laundrettes.
00:59:47 Angela, be reasonable.
00:59:50 You can always
00:59:56 Good. It's Tania.
00:59:58 I've never met her,
01:00:06 Who invited Tania, damn it?
01:00:09 I did, Uncle.
01:00:43 Do you two know each other?
01:00:46 At last. After so long in my family's life.
01:00:49 Bring Tania over here.
01:00:50 Tania, I do feel that I know you.
01:00:54 But you don't.
01:00:55 Marry her. What's wrong with her?
01:00:59 When I say marry her, you damn well do it.
01:01:03 I don't mind my father having a mistress.
01:01:05 Good. I'm so grateful.
01:01:08 I don't mind my father
01:01:12 Why don't you mind?
01:01:14 Please be nice to her.
01:01:17 ...or my father being with you,
01:01:22 Your penis works, doesn't it?
01:01:25 But I don't like women who live off men.
01:01:28 Get going.
01:01:30 That's a pretty disgusting,
01:01:39 Tania, come and look at the spin dryers.
01:01:42 They're fluff drying.
01:01:45 But tell me, who do you live off?
01:01:51 And you must understand...
01:01:54 we're of different generations...
01:01:56 different classes.
01:01:59 Everything is waiting for you.
01:02:03 The only thing that has ever waited for me...
01:02:07 is your father.
01:02:16 We'd better get going. See you, boys.
01:02:20 No, I am not drunk, Angela.
01:02:24 I told you, I'm not gonna see her again.
01:02:26 How could I?
01:02:31 Please...
01:02:32 I'll explain to you.
01:02:37 Darling, listen.
01:02:41 Please listen to me.
01:02:42 It's not my fault, I didn't ask her to come.
01:02:45 Didn't you, then? Who did?
01:02:47 - The boys!
01:02:51 You made me look stupid.
01:02:52 Can we go to the club or something,
01:02:55 No! I'm not going anywhere with you.
01:02:57 Please.
01:03:30 - Goodbye, Omar.
01:03:39 I want to leave home.
01:03:42 I need to break away.
01:03:45 You'll have to help me, financially.
01:03:48 As well as everything else,
01:03:53 Palace ain't my team.
01:03:56 Millwall me.
01:03:58 I'm drunk.
01:04:02 - Will you marry me?
01:04:05 I bet you don't even support
01:04:08 - Palace gave you a trial, didn't they?
01:04:11 Told my mom
01:04:15 She said, "I reckon that's about your level."
01:04:17 If you can get me some money.
01:04:24 Omo's getting married.
01:04:34 I'm afraid you owe me
01:04:37 The beard, remember?
01:04:40 Good, it's all coming back.
01:04:44 - I haven't got money like that now.
01:04:52 I'd better have
01:04:55 About half.
01:04:56 By the time Nasser
01:05:00 Or I'll instruct him
01:05:22 It took you a while to get on to us.
01:05:24 Wanted to see what you'd do.
01:05:30 So many books written and read.
01:05:33 Bhutto was his close friend.
01:05:36 But we're nothing in England
01:05:48 I told you already.
01:05:52 Come on, Angela.
01:05:56 That's stupid.
01:06:01 Of course I won't.
01:06:04 Of course not.
01:06:06 Who told you that, anyway?
01:06:43 Didn't I tell you?
01:06:45 Didn't I tell you about that noise last night?
01:07:02 Where did you go? You just disappeared.
01:07:06 Drinking, I went. With my old mates.
01:07:10 It ain't illegal.
01:07:11 Of course it is.
01:07:14 Why aren't you at work?
01:07:17 Lt'll be closing time soon.
01:07:19 You'll be locking the place up,
01:07:22 No, it never closes.
01:07:23 One of us has got to be there.
01:07:27 - You're getting greedy.
01:07:30 I'm not gonna be beat down by this country.
01:07:33 In school, you and your friends
01:07:35 And what are you doing now?
01:07:38 That's how I like it.
01:07:40 Now get to work.
01:07:45 Get to work, I said, or else you're fired.
01:07:57 What about you?
01:07:59 I don't want to see you for a little while.
01:08:03 I got some big thinking to do.
01:08:12 But today...
01:08:15 it's been the best day.
01:08:20 Almost the best day.
01:09:48 I recognize you, at least.
01:09:50 We was expecting you today.
01:09:54 I've come.
01:09:55 The invitation was for 3:00, Mr. Ali.
01:10:00 It's only 3:10 now.
01:10:04 You know...
01:10:06 I thought I'd come to the wrong place.
01:10:10 That I'd suddenly found myself
01:10:16 where one might get a pink rinse.
01:10:20 Do you do a good pink rinse?
01:10:28 Or are you still a fascist?
01:10:35 You used to give us
01:10:39 - when I was little.
01:10:42 What's it made of you?
01:10:45 Are you a politician? Journalist?
01:10:48 Trade unionist?
01:10:51 No.
01:10:53 You're an underpants cleaner.
01:10:59 Oh, dear.
01:11:01 The working class
01:11:05 I ain't made much of myself.
01:11:12 You'd better get on and do something.
01:11:32 Help me.
01:11:38 I don't want my son in this...
01:11:42 underpants-cleaning condition.
01:11:47 I want him reading in college.
01:11:51 You tell him.
01:11:54 You go to college.
01:11:58 He must have knowledge.
01:12:03 if we're to see clearly
01:12:08 in this country.
01:12:12 Right?
01:12:14 - I don't know. It depends on what he wants.
01:12:20 You use your influence.
01:12:26 Not a bad dump you've got here.
01:13:12 What did you make me
01:13:19 - What's going on?
01:13:22 Bilquis is making magic potions
01:13:28 She's putting them on Rachel.
01:13:31 Is it working?
01:13:32 The furniture is shaking.
01:13:37 Rachel's come out in a rash.
01:13:41 Glass is all over the place.
01:13:47 I'm out.
01:13:53 Salim's got to have money, soon.
01:13:55 A lot of money. He's threatened me.
01:14:10 This city's chock-full of money.
01:14:12 - When I used to want money...
01:14:17 Decide, now,
01:14:28 She's illiterate.
01:14:31 Bilquis is thinking
01:14:33 after she's hospitalized Rachel
01:14:38 Nasser's on a marathon sulk.
01:14:42 He's going for the world record.
01:14:44 We'll just have to do a job to get the money.
01:14:47 - I don't want you going back to all that.
01:14:52 We're going to go on.
01:14:54 You want that, don't you?
01:14:56 Yeah. I want you.
01:15:01 Fuck me, what's she doing with that mouse?
01:15:03 Bilquis!
01:15:11 God damn you!
01:15:46 Who does he reckon he is, your uncle,
01:15:50 Right, maybe this just ain't my world.
01:15:53 - Still getting married?
01:15:56 If you wiggle fast enough, you can, I reckon.
01:16:22 England needs more young men like Omar.
01:16:24 The more boys like that, the better.
01:16:41 Now that Cherry's pregnant...
01:16:42 I will buy a house,
01:16:55 Listen, Zaki, here is Omar.
01:16:58 You talk to him about your laundrette.
01:17:02 Omar, my boy.
01:17:04 I got these two damned laundrettes
01:17:07 - I need big advice on them.
01:17:11 If the laundrettes are giving you trouble...
01:17:13 I'll pay you rent for them
01:17:16 Really?
01:17:18 Please, can you take charge
01:17:21 You've taken a great weight off my head.
01:17:23 It's a deal.
01:18:25 I've got it.
01:18:27 The installment.
01:18:30 It's hefty.
01:18:43 Don't ever offer me money.
01:18:45 It was an educational test I put on you...
01:18:48 to make you see you did a wrong thing.
01:18:56 Don't, in future, bite the family hand
01:19:01 You need money, just ask me.
01:19:03 Years ago, your uncles lifted me up,
01:19:21 All right. He's no one.
01:19:25 Bitch. What the hell is going on here?
01:19:27 - Can't you control your bloody people?
01:19:32 Why should you be able to?
01:19:35 You gamble most of your money away.
01:19:36 That smooth suppository owns us.
01:19:40 Rachel's stockings. It's his.
01:19:42 - I thought you two were getting married.
01:19:45 - I'd rather drink my own urine.
01:19:49 Get out of my sight.
01:19:50 I'm going further than that.
01:19:58 - Let's get out of here.
01:20:01 - Salim will give us a lift.
01:20:04 I need him for something I've got in mind.
01:20:10 So, I was talking to Zaki about it.
01:20:14 - He's got no idea.
01:20:17 Do them up with this money.
01:20:21 Is it enough?
01:20:22 I thought you might want
01:20:26 I could do with some straight outlets.
01:20:30 You're a smart bastard.
01:20:38 Look at them. What a waste of life.
01:20:41 They're filthy, ignorant.
01:20:43 They don't respect people,
01:20:48 What this scum needs
01:21:24 Right, I think I can do something with this.
01:21:28 Me and my partner.
01:21:31 Take it.
01:21:32 I trust you and your family.
01:21:47 I'd happily put money into it.
01:21:51 Right.
01:21:55 Wait a minute.
01:22:01 Want to come in
01:22:05 Think we can do something with it?
01:22:07 - Can't tell without seeing it.
01:22:12 Not if that scum Salim's there.
01:23:37 I'm going.
01:23:39 Where?
01:23:40 Away.
01:23:56 I'm going.
01:23:58 You can come.
01:24:01 No good jobs like this around.
01:24:04 Omar just runs you around everywhere,
01:24:08 I'll stay here with my friend...
01:24:11 and fight it out.
01:24:14 My family, Salim and all...
01:24:17 will swallow you up like a little kebab.
01:24:24 I couldn't leave him.
01:24:26 Not now.
01:24:29 Don't ask me to.
01:24:36 You ever touched him?
01:25:50 So, today is the saddest day for us.
01:25:55 I thought that I'm taking you
01:25:59 Love...
01:26:01 money...
01:26:03 you.
01:26:05 Besides, it's not possible
01:26:12 Your wife is a brilliant woman.
01:26:16 Oh, my God.
01:26:18 And what's worse,
01:26:21 It's not what I'm used to.
01:26:24 The council's been around.
01:26:28 We've had a time.
01:26:30 A short time.
01:26:32 A nice time.
01:26:57 I want to talk to Omo...
01:27:00 about business.
01:27:01 Don't know where he is.
01:27:05 Is it worth waiting?
01:27:08 In my experience,
01:29:00 Paki!
01:29:13 Listen, damn country has done us in.
01:29:19 That's why I'm like this.
01:29:23 We should be there.
01:29:27 Home.
01:29:31 But that country's
01:29:35 It's beginning to interfere
01:29:40 Compared with everywhere...
01:29:43 it's a little heaven, here.
01:29:53 You are planning an armada of laundrettes?
01:29:56 What do you think of dry cleaners?
01:29:58 They're the past.
01:30:00 But then, they are the present, also.
01:30:04 Mostly, they are the past.
01:30:13 He'll die.
01:30:22 Fuck a varmint!
01:30:23 Salim, get out of here!
01:30:37 Come on, Genghis!
01:30:40 Come on, my son.
01:30:42 Listen to me, Genghis, I don't want to fight!
01:30:45 - Tough.
01:30:50 Hit him!
01:30:58 - Come on.
01:30:59 That's enough, man.
01:31:03 Kill the bum.
01:31:07 Come on.
01:31:13 Why are you so unhappy?
01:31:25 Rachel's left me,
01:32:02 Fuck you!
01:32:23 Still look after you. I'm finished.
01:32:28 Only Omar matters.
01:32:31 I'll make sure he's fixed up
01:32:35 And marriage?
01:32:37 I'm working on it.
01:32:39 Is Tania a possibility?
01:32:51 Where the hell are you going?
01:33:21 - I...

01:33:28 You were always going at school.
01:33:33 Christ, your hand is bad.
01:33:37 I couldn't even pin you down, then.
01:33:39 And now I'm going again.

01:33:45 I'm serious. Don't keep touching me.
