00:11:47 I thought you enjoyed it.
00:11:52 Please yourself, darlin'.
00:12:35 He was your Mam's favorite,
00:12:38 We used to watch him
00:12:40 and then dance around the front room
00:12:44 Marvelous.
00:12:46 Mind, they used to say
00:12:51 Come on, Grandma, not now.
00:13:25 Grandma!
00:13:29 It's this one here.
00:13:32 Grandma! It's over here!

00:13:55 Plenty of boys do ballet, you know.
00:13:57 Do they nick. What boys do ballet?
00:13:59 Nobody round here, but plenty of men do.
00:14:02 - Poofs.
00:14:05 Who, like?
00:14:06 What about Wayne Sleep? He's not a poof.
00:14:09 - He's as fit as an athlete.
00:14:13 Maybes not in a race, but in stamina.
00:14:17 I can't.
00:14:20 Please yourself, then.

00:15:18 - Debbie?
00:15:20 - What do you call me?

00:15:26 So, do we get the pleasure
00:15:30 It's just...
00:15:33 Well, don't act like one. 50p, please.
00:15:40 If you're not coming again,
00:15:46 Nah, you're all right.
00:15:48 Right.
00:16:11 What you doing,
00:16:14 Nowt.
00:16:15 We found your nanna in the Spar
00:16:19 - Boxing. Where do you think?
00:16:22 - I forgot me gloves.
00:16:25 You better take better care of them, OK?
00:16:52 You only have five minutes left.
00:16:56 Ow.
00:17:18 Howay, this way.
00:17:25 - You go to ballet every week?
00:17:28 - Why do you need lessons?
00:17:30 - To get better, you divvy.
00:17:33 Fuck off.
00:17:37 - I wear me shorts.
00:17:40 What for?
00:17:42 - To dance in.
00:17:45 I think you'd look wicked.
00:17:50 Come on.
00:18:31 I don't know why you're looking at that.
00:18:34 You can't take that out
00:18:46 Come on!
00:19:01 See you, then.
00:19:22 OK, Billy Elliot. Into the center.
00:19:24 Right, now I want you
00:19:28 First, arabesque.
00:19:30 Drop your shoulders.
00:19:33 Look forward, beyond your fingertips.
00:19:44 Spin it, Mr. Braithwaite, spin it.
00:19:46 Come on, spin it.
00:19:49 Now focus.
00:19:51 Look in the mirror.
00:19:59 Arghh!
00:20:00 Christ Almighty, what was that?
00:20:02 - What's going on?
00:20:05 Prepare. One, and two. Strong position.
00:20:09 Weight on both legs, and...
00:20:13 pirouette, and down.
00:20:17 Up you get.
00:20:21 Find a place on that bloody wall
00:20:26 and focus on that spot.

00:21:08 Right. Back to the barre.
00:21:22 You looked like
00:22:02 Listen, Jackie, if it's just the 50p a
00:22:06 - I dinnae do it for the money.
00:22:09 The boxing. I haven't seen
00:22:12 I was gonna say something,
00:22:15 First I knew.
00:22:18 Send him round to my house.
00:22:24 Scabs! Scabs! Scabs! Scabs!
00:22:31 Step, open, and balancé.
00:22:34 - Balancé, balancé.
00:22:42 Right, let's do it again.
00:22:49 Open. Lift your chest.
00:22:51 Right, do it again.
00:22:54 Open. Open your arms. Do it.
00:22:58 Arms. Like this. All right?
00:23:01 Thank you, Mr. Braithwaite.
00:23:05 - Scabs!
00:23:12 - You're not concentrating.
00:23:15 You're not even trying.
00:23:17 Can we have a go of it, Miss?
00:23:20 Let's do it again.
00:23:26 Have you noticed anything weird
00:23:29 What are you after, like? A list?
00:23:34 Aye, aye.
00:23:41 Got enough food there, scab?
00:23:44 - What you doin'?
00:23:47 You're me best mate.
00:23:50 First rule of a union, Gary:
00:23:58 - We're all fucked if you forget that.
00:24:03 In a speech to Tory MPs yesterday,
00:24:06 Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
00:24:08 referred to members of the striking
00:24:12 as the "enemy within".
00:24:14 The speech comes following
00:24:18 between police officers
00:24:21 - See you, then.
00:24:26 What the hell's he up to?
00:24:36 One, two, three, pas de bourrée.
00:24:40 And one, two, three and a turn.
00:24:43 And one, two, three, pas de bourrée.
00:24:47 And one, two, three, pas de bourrée.
00:24:51 And one, two, three, pas de bourrée.
00:24:54 And one, two, three, pas de bourrée.
00:24:58 And one, two, three, pas de bourrée.
00:25:02 And one, two, three, pas de bourrée.
00:25:06 You! Out!
00:25:08 Now!
00:25:10 I beg your pardon?
00:25:15 Please, Miss.
00:25:29 All right. Which way are we facing?
00:25:32 And one, two, three, pas de bourrée.
00:25:36 - Ballet?
00:25:39 - What's wrong with ballet?
00:25:44 Perfectly normal?
00:25:47 - I used to go to ballet.
00:25:50 Aye, for your nanna.
00:25:56 Lads do football, or...
00:25:59 boxing, or...
00:26:02 wrestling.
00:26:04 Not friggin' ballet.
00:26:10 What lads do wrestling?
00:26:14 Don't start, Billy.
00:26:16 - I don't see what's wrong with it.
00:26:19 - No, I don't.
00:26:22 - No, I don't.
00:26:26 Who do you think I am?
00:26:29 You know quite nicely.
00:26:33 What?
00:26:35 What are you trying to say, Dad?
00:26:41 - You're asking for a hiding, Son.
00:26:44 - You are. Billy. Billy.
00:26:47 Some ballet dancers
00:26:50 What about that Wayne Sleep?
00:26:55 - Wayne Sleep?
00:26:59 Listen, Son, from now on,
00:27:03 You can forget about
00:27:06 I'm busting my arse
00:27:09 No, from now on, you stay here
00:27:16 Good.
00:27:21 They used to say I could have
00:27:24 Will you shut up?
00:27:29 I hate you! You're a bastard!
00:27:41 Get off!
00:27:43 Billy! Billy!
00:27:46 Billy!
00:28:54 Hello.
00:28:56 - Dad'll kill me if he knows I'm here.
00:29:03 - It's not his fault, Miss.
00:29:07 I suppose so.
00:29:09 - You should stand up to him.
00:29:14 Well, that blows it.
00:29:16 - Blows what, Miss?
00:29:22 I've heard a lot about you.
00:29:27 - Your dad work down the pit, then?
00:29:30 Must be hard for the family, being out
00:29:35 - Of course.
00:29:38 Tom, don't.
00:29:40 If they had a ballot,
00:29:42 It's a few Commies stirring things up.
00:29:47 - Who doesn't?
00:29:50 It stands to reason,
00:29:54 It costs more money to pay everybody
00:29:57 than you get for the coal.
00:30:00 I dunno.
00:30:02 - You want to think about that, son.
00:30:05 If it was up to me, I'd shut the lot
00:30:09 For God's sake.
00:30:11 - What do you do, Mr. Wilkinson?
00:30:21 - I thought he was going to hit me.
00:30:24 He's just under a lot of pressure.
00:30:27 That's what Mam says. I think
00:30:30 - Does he drink too much, like?
00:30:33 - Once, he pissed himself.
00:30:36 Cos he's unhappy, and that,
00:30:39 - Why do they sleep in separate beds?
00:30:43 Do they not have sex?
00:30:45 Dad did it with this woman from work,
00:30:52 Do you miss your mam, then?
00:30:55 I don't really miss her, as such.
00:30:57 It's more like just feeling sad.
00:30:59 Especially when I remember
00:31:03 When I've forgot that she was dead
00:31:06 What about your mam?
00:31:09 No, she's unfulfilled.
00:31:12 She does dancing instead of sex?
00:31:14 - Your family's weird.
00:31:20 They are, though. They're mental.
00:31:30 Get off!
00:31:50 See? You're a nutter, you.
00:31:53 Debbie. It's time for Billy to go home.
00:31:57 Come on, Billy,
00:32:00 I'll see ya, Debbie.
00:32:18 OK, then.
00:32:30 Miss?
00:32:32 What have I blown?
00:32:38 This'll sound strange, Billy,
00:32:41 but for some time now, I've been
00:32:47 - Aren't you a bit old, Miss?
00:32:51 I'm the bloody teacher.
00:32:54 They hold auditions in Newcastle.
00:32:57 I'd not be good enough.
00:33:00 They're not interested in how much
00:33:04 That's why they're a ballet school. It's
00:33:08 - Express what?
00:33:18 But it would mean
00:33:20 But I'm banned.
00:33:23 - Maybe I should have a word with him.
00:33:25 - I could teach you on your own.
00:33:28 - I'm not doing it for the money, Billy.
00:33:32 - He doesn't need to know.
00:33:34 If you want to piss about
00:33:38 All right, don't lose your blob!
00:33:41 Blob?
00:33:47 So we could do it private, like?
00:33:50 Just you and me.
00:33:57 Miss, you don't fancy me, do you?
00:34:02 No, Billy, funnily enough, I don't.
00:34:10 Piss off yourself.
00:34:14 See you Monday, then.
00:34:37 - You coming in or what?
00:34:40 Nothing. Just dressing up.
00:34:45 - Whose dress is that?
00:34:56 - Whose dress is that?
00:35:00 - Did she give you it?
00:35:02 Wanna try? You can have one of me mam's.
00:35:05 No, you're all right.
00:35:12 - What are you doing that for?
00:35:19 Christ.
00:35:20 Come here.
00:35:24 Stay still.
00:35:28 - There.
00:35:31 Don't be stupid.
00:35:33 - He dresses up in your mam's clothes?
00:35:38 Have you got a tutu yet?
00:35:41 Do you think being a ballet dancer
00:35:45 I don't know.
00:35:46 I've got this audition in Newcastle
00:35:50 - What for?
00:35:53 Ballet school? Is that in Newcastle?
00:35:56 London.
00:35:58 You'd have to move?
00:36:01 - Nah, by meself.
00:36:04 - Can't you be a ballet dancer here?
00:36:08 - So when you going there?
00:36:12 What does your dad say?
00:36:16 - He doesn't kna.
00:36:19 - Are you not going to tell him?
00:36:22 He might be pleased.
00:36:24 He couldn't. What about our Tony?
00:36:28 What do you reckon?
00:36:33 - I think you shouldn't bother.
00:36:36 I'd miss ya.
00:36:39 Fucking hell.
00:37:08 Brought your things?
00:37:13 I don't know if they're right, Miss.
00:37:15 If they're special to you,
00:37:18 - What are they for?
00:37:23 Come on, then, let's see 'em.
00:37:55 - What's that?
00:37:59 I can see it's a letter.
00:38:03 It's me mam's.
00:38:05 She wrote it for when I was 18,
00:38:16 Here.
00:38:36 "To my son, Billy."
00:38:41 "Dear Billy, I know I must seem
00:38:47 which is probably a good thing."
00:38:50 "It will have been a long time,
00:38:52 and I will have missed seeing you grow,
00:38:56 - laughing..."
00:39:02 "I will have missed telling you off."
00:39:05 "Please know that I was always there..."
00:39:12 "...with you through everything."
00:39:14 "With you through everything."
00:39:17 "And I always will be."
00:39:20 "And I am proud to have known you,
00:39:24 and I am proud that you were mine."
00:39:27 "Always be yourself."
00:39:31 "I'll love you forever."
00:39:36 "Mam."
00:39:48 She must have been a very special woman,
00:39:52 No, she was just me mam.
00:39:56 I brought a tape and all.
00:40:00 - What is it?
00:40:03 It's one of our Tony's.
00:40:46 Tap, tap. Go.
00:41:03 Yeehaw!
00:41:46 Grandma, tea time.
00:42:01 - Where are you going?
00:42:05 It's four o'clock.

00:42:37 You wanna stand around getting the shit
00:42:42 Some of us are ready
00:42:44 They're already after you.
00:42:47 - You're no good to us in jail.
00:42:50 - What's going on?
00:42:53 - Both of you.
00:42:58 - Put it down.
00:43:01 - I'm warning you.
00:43:05 Since Mam died,
00:43:08 Stop it!
00:43:43 What the fuck are you looking at?
00:43:47 You haven't been practicing.
00:43:50 Prepare. One, two.
00:43:53 And one, and two...
00:43:56 Get up.
00:43:59 Miss, I can't do it.
00:44:02 That's because you're not concentrating.
00:44:05 I am concentrating.
00:44:07 - You're not even trying.
00:44:10 - Do it again.
00:44:14 You do it again.
00:44:24 No!
00:44:34 Shit.
00:44:56 - I'm sorry.
00:44:59 It's not you who has to do it.
00:45:01 - I know.
00:45:03 What do you know in your posh house,
00:45:07 You're the same as everybody else.
00:45:11 - Now, wait a minute...
00:45:13 I don't wanna do
00:45:16 You only want me to do it
00:45:18 - Billy...
00:45:21 Don't you dare talk to me like that.
00:45:23 You don't even have a proper dancing
00:45:27 Don't pick on me
00:46:13 - Can I put a tape on, Miss?
00:46:56 It's cush, isn't it?
00:47:01 So is there a story, then, Miss?
00:47:04 Of course.
00:47:06 It's about a woman
00:47:11 Sounds crap.
00:47:14 And this woman, this beautiful woman,
00:47:17 is forced to be a swan.
00:47:20 Except for a few hours every night,
00:47:24 when she becomes alive.
00:47:27 She becomes real again.
00:47:32 And then one night,
00:47:35 she meets this young prince.
00:47:39 And he falls in love with her.
00:47:43 And she realizes...
00:47:46 this is the one thing that will allow
00:47:53 So then what happens?
00:47:55 He promises to marry her, then goes off
00:47:59 - So she has to be a swan for good?
00:48:03 - Cos the prince didn't love her?
00:48:07 It's only a ghost story.
00:48:12 Come on.
00:48:42 No.
00:48:44 It's me.
00:48:48 It's Billy.

00:33:17 what does it feel like
00:33:28 Dunno.
00:33:34 It sort of feels good.
00:33:38 It's sort of stiff and that, but once
