:44:01
l don't think I can tell mother.
:44:03
She don't need to know.
:44:07
lt's all right.
:44:13
lt's all gonna come out, Sid.
Everyone will know.
:44:17
Some people won't be able
to look us in the eye--
:44:19
- cross the road to avoid us.
- Can you blame 'em?
:44:21
You wanna be one of them people?
:44:24
Can't look your own mother in the eye? Eh?
:44:29
You know when you went off into war,
:44:31
You turned round to me, you said, "Sid,
you're the man of the house now,
:44:35
you've got to look after things." And I did.
:44:38
l was only 13
:44:40
Me and Mom, we pulled together-- and Ethel...
:44:44
- she must've been doing it then.
- I know.
:44:48
So how many has she done
over the years then, eh?
:44:49
Dozens? Hundreds?
:44:53
And all right, fair enough--
:44:55
she's kept it from me and Ethel,
but she didn't even tell you.
:44:58
lf she'd told me, I'd have put
a stop to it, wouldn't l?
:44:59
l don't get it, ain't you angry?
:45:00
Of course I'm bloody angry, you silly bugger.
:45:08
- You're asking me to forgive her.
- Yes.
:45:14
You can forgive her, Sid. She's your mother.
:45:20
She'd forgive you anything, wouldn't she?
:45:25
l know you think she's done a bad thing...
:45:31
but God knows, she's going to get
punished enough for what she's done.
:45:36
We can't let her down.
:45:43
l don't know what to say to you, Mom.
:45:47
You don't have to say nothing, Sid.
:45:50
I'm scared for you, that's all.
:45:54
You'll have to look after your dad.
:45:56
'Course. 'Course I will.
