143. Do they now? What boys do ballet?Copy !req
144. Nobody around here, but plenty of men do.Copy !req
145. - Poofs.
- Not necessarily poofs.Copy !req
146. Who, like?Copy !req
147. What about that Wayne Sleep?
He's not a poof.Copy !req
148. He's as fit as an athlete.Copy !req
149. Bet he couldn't beat Daley Thompson.Copy !req
150. Maybe not in a race, but in stamina.Copy !req

You only have five minutes left.Copy !req
186. Ow.Copy !req
187. Hurry. This way.Copy !req
188. You go to ballet every week?Copy !req
189. Yeah, but don't tell.Copy !req
190. Why do you need to take lessons?Copy !req
191. Why do you think? To get better, you divvy.Copy !req
192. - Do you got to wear a tutu?
- Fuck off.Copy !req
193. They're only meant for lasses.Copy !req
194. I wear me shorts.Copy !req
195. You won't ask for a tutu?Copy !req
196. What for?Copy !req
197. To dance in.Copy !req
198. I'd look a right dickhead.Copy !req
199. I think you'd look wicked.Copy !req
200. Come on.Copy !req
201. I don't know why you're looking at that.Copy !req
202. You can't take that out on a junior ticket.Copy !req

216. What's going on?Copy !req
217. Nothing.Copy !req
218. Prepare, one and two.Copy !req
219. Strong position. Weight on both legs.Copy !req
220. And, pirouette.Copy !req
221. And down.Copy !req
222. Up you get.Copy !req
223. Find a place on that bloody wall,Copy !req
224. and focus on that spot.Copy !req
225. Then whip your head round,
and come back to that spot. Prepare.Copy !req
226. One, and two, and...Copy !req
227. Fuck it.Copy !req
228. Have you got the spot?Copy !req

237. Listen, Jackie.Copy !req
238. Listen, Jackie.Copy !req
239. If it was just the 50 pence a session,
you know,Copy !req
240. I can do without it.
I don't do it for the money.Copy !req
241. - What are you talking about?
- The boxing, man.Copy !req
242. I haven't seen hide nor hair
of your Billy for months.Copy !req
243. I was gonna say something,
but I thought it might be embarrassing.Copy !req
244. First I knew about it.
He's never got the gloves off.Copy !req
245. Send him round to my house.
I'll sharp knock some sense into him.Copy !req
246. Scab! Scab!Copy !req
247. Step open and balancé, balancé, balancé.Copy !req
248. Scab! Scab! Scab! Scab! Scab! Scab!Copy !req
249. Right. Let's do it again.Copy !req
250. Open, and lift your chest.
Right. Let's do it again.Copy !req
251. Thank you, Mr Braithwaite.
Step open. Open your arms. Do it.Copy !req
252. Pay attention. Arms. Like this. All right?Copy !req
253. Thank you, Mr Braithwaite. Step really open!Copy !req
254. Powerful! Proud!Copy !req
255. You're not concentrating.Copy !req
256. Yes, I am concentrating.Copy !req
257. You're not even trying.Copy !req
258. Can we have a go of it, Miss?Copy !req
259. Let's do it again.Copy !req
260. Listen, have you noticed
anything weird about our Billy lately?Copy !req
261. What are you after, like, a list?Copy !req
262. Aye, aye.Copy !req
263. Got enough food there, scab?Copy !req
264. What're you doing?Copy !req
265. Scabs eat well.Copy !req
266. You're me best mate.Copy !req
267. First rule of a union, Gary.
You never cross a picket line.Copy !req
268. We're all fucked if you forget that!Copy !req
269. We're fucked anyway.Copy !req
270. In a speech to Tory MPs yesterday,Copy !req
271. Prime Minister Margaret ThatcherCopy !req
272. referred to members of the striking
National Union of MineworkersCopy !req
273. as "the enemy within".Copy !req
274. The speech comes following
several months of violent clashesCopy !req
275. between police officers and striking miners...Copy !req
276. - See you, then.
Wait. Your breakfast...Copy !req
277. What the hell's he up to?Copy !req
278. One, two, three, pas de bourrée.Copy !req
279. And a one, two, three, and a turn.Copy !req
280. And a one, two, three, pas de bourrée.Copy !req
281. And a one, two, three, pas de bourrée.Copy !req
282. And a one, two, three, pas de bourrée.Copy !req
283. And a one, two, three, pas de bourrée.Copy !req
284. And a one, two, three, pas de bourrée.Copy !req
285. And a one, two, three, pas de bourrée.Copy !req
286. You, out! Now!Copy !req
287. I beg your pardon?Copy !req
288. Please, Miss.Copy !req
289. Don't.Copy !req
290. All right, which way are we facing? Come on.Copy !req
291. And a one, two, three, pas de bourrée.Copy !req
292. Ballet.Copy !req
293. What's wrong with ballet?Copy !req
294. What's "wrong" with ballet?Copy !req
295. It's perfectly normal.Copy !req
296. "Perfectly normal"?Copy !req
297. I used to go to ballet.Copy !req
298. See?Copy !req
299. Aye, for your nana.Copy !req
300. For girls. Not for lads, Billy.Copy !req
301. Lads do football orCopy !req
302. boxing orCopy !req
303. wrestling!Copy !req
304. Not frigging ballet.Copy !req
305. What lads do wrestling?Copy !req
306. Don't start, Billy.Copy !req
307. I don't see what's wrong with it.Copy !req
308. You know perfectly well what's wrong with it.Copy !req
309. - No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.Copy !req
310. - No, I don't!
- Yes, you bloody well do.Copy !req
311. Who do you think I am?Copy !req
312. You know quite nicely!Copy !req
313. What?Copy !req
314. What are you trying to say, Dad?Copy !req
315. You're asking for a hiding, Son.Copy !req
316. No, I'm not. Honest.Copy !req
317. You are, Billy. Billy!Copy !req
318. It's not just poofs, Dad.Copy !req
319. Some ballet dancers are as fit as athletes.Copy !req
320. What about that Wayne Sleep?
He was a ballet dancer.Copy !req
321. Wayne Sleep?Copy !req
322. Aye.Copy !req
323. Listen, Son,Copy !req
324. from now on you can forget
about the fucking ballet.Copy !req
325. You can forget about the fucking boxing,
as well.Copy !req
326. I'm busting my ass for those 50 pences,
and you're... No!Copy !req
327. From now on, you stay here
and look after your nana. Got it?Copy !req
328. Good.Copy !req
329. They used to say
I could have been a professional dancerCopy !req
330. - if I'd had the training.
- Will you shut up?Copy !req
331. I hate you!Copy !req
332. You're a bastard!Copy !req
333. Get off!Copy !req
334. Billy! Billy!Copy !req
335. Billy!Copy !req
336. Hello.Copy !req
337. My dad will kill me if he knows I'm here.Copy !req
338. He stopped you coming to classes.Copy !req
339. It's not his fault, Miss.Copy !req
340. That's all right with you, is it?Copy !req
341. I suppose so.Copy !req
342. You should stand up to him.Copy !req
343. You don't know what he's like.Copy !req
344. Well, that blows it.Copy !req
345. Blows what, Miss?Copy !req
346. Debbie?Copy !req
347. I've heard a lot about you.Copy !req
348. Durham's little Gene Kelly.Copy !req
349. Your dad work down the pit, then?Copy !req
350. Yeah.Copy !req
351. Must be hard for the family,
being out on strike.Copy !req
352. He is out on strike, isn't he?Copy !req
353. Of course.Copy !req
354. I shouldn't worry. It won't last long.Copy !req
355. Tom, don't.Copy !req
356. If they had a ballot, they'd be back tomorrow.Copy !req
357. It's just a few bloody commies,
stirring things up.Copy !req
358. Let's face it.
They haven't got a leg to stand on.Copy !req
359. Who doesn't?Copy !req
360. The miners. It stands to reason, doesn't it?Copy !req
361. Some pits are just uneconomical.Copy !req
362. If it costs more money to pay everybody
to dig the coal outCopy !req
363. than you get for the coal when you sell it,
what does that tell you?Copy !req
364. Don't know.Copy !req
365. Well, you wanna think about that,
don't you, son?Copy !req
366. Tom.Copy !req
367. If it was up to me,
I'd shut the lot of them down tomorrow.Copy !req
368. For God's sake.Copy !req
369. What do you do, Mr Wilkinson?Copy !req
370. He's been made redundant.Copy !req
371. I thought he was gonna hit me or something.Copy !req
372. Don't be silly.
He's just under a lot of pressure.Copy !req
373. That's what Mom says.
I think it's because he drinks too much.Copy !req
374. Does he drink too much, like?Copy !req
375. He's always pissed. Once he pissed himself.Copy !req
376. Your dad?Copy !req
377. 'Cause he's unhappy and that.
'Cause they sleep in separate beds.Copy !req
378. Why do they sleep in separate beds?Copy !req
379. So they can't have sex.Copy !req
380. Do they not have sex, like?Copy !req
381. Dad did it with this woman from work,
but they don't think I know.Copy !req
382. Do you miss your mom, then?Copy !req
383. Don't really miss her as such.
It's more like just feeling sad.Copy !req
384. Especially when I remember her
all of a sudden.Copy !req
385. When I forgot that she was dead and that.Copy !req
386. What about your mom?
Does she not have sex?Copy !req
387. No, she's unfulfilled.
That's why she does dancing.Copy !req
388. She does dancing instead of sex?Copy !req
389. Your family's weird.Copy !req
390. No, they're not.Copy !req
391. They are, though. They're mental.Copy !req
392. Get off!Copy !req
393. See? You're a nutter, you.Copy !req
394. Debbie! It's time for Billy to go home!Copy !req
395. Come on, Billy. I'll drop you off at the corner.Copy !req
396. I'll see you, Debbie.Copy !req
397. Okay, then.Copy !req
398. Miss, what have I blown?Copy !req
399. This'll sound strange, Billy,
but for some time nowCopy !req
400. I've been thinking of the Royal Ballet School.Copy !req
401. Aren't you a bit old, Miss?Copy !req
402. No, not me. You!Copy !req
403. I'm the bloody teacher.Copy !req
404. They hold auditions in Newcastle.Copy !req
405. I'd never be good enough.
I hardly know aught.Copy !req
406. No. Look, they're not interested in
how much ballet you know.Copy !req
407. They teach you that.
That's why they're a ballet school.Copy !req
408. It's how you move and
how you express yourself that's important.Copy !req
409. Express what?Copy !req
410. I think you're good enough to go for it.Copy !req
411. It would mean an awful lot of hard work.Copy !req
412. But I'm banned.Copy !req
413. Then maybe I should have a word with him.Copy !req
414. No, Miss!Copy !req
415. I could teach you on your own, if you want.Copy !req
416. We couldn't afford it.Copy !req
417. I'm not doing it for the money, Billy.Copy !req
418. But what about Dad?Copy !req
419. He doesn't need to know.Copy !req
420. - What about me boxing and that?
- Oh, for fuck's sake, Billy!Copy !req
421. If you want to piss about
with your little mates, that's fine with me.Copy !req
422. All right, don't lose your blob.Copy !req
423. "Blob"?Copy !req
424. So we could do it private-like?Copy !req
425. Just you and me.Copy !req
426. Miss, you don't fancy me, do you?Copy !req
427. No, Billy. Funnily enough, I don't.
Now, piss off.Copy !req
428. Piss off yourself.Copy !req
429. See you Monday, then.Copy !req
430. You coming in or what?Copy !req
431. What are you doing?Copy !req
432. Nothing. Just dressing up.Copy !req
433. Whose dress is that?Copy !req
434. Come on.Copy !req
435. - Whose dress is that?
- It's me sister's.Copy !req
436. - Did she give you it?

448. Only when he thinks everybody's out.Copy !req
449. Have you got a tutu yet?Copy !req

493. "and shouting."Copy !req
494. "I will have missed telling you off.Copy !req
495. "But please know that I was always there."Copy !req
496. "With you through everything."Copy !req

501. "Always be yourself.Copy !req
502. "I love you forever."Copy !req
503. "Mom."Copy !req
504. She must've been a very special woman,
your mother.Copy !req
505. No, she was just me mom.Copy !req
506. I brought tape and all.Copy !req
507. What is it?Copy !req

517. If you just wanna stand round
getting the shit kicked out of you,Copy !req
518. that's your funeral.Copy !req
519. But some of us are
ready to fight back for once.Copy !req
520. They're already after you,
for fuck's sake.Copy !req
521. You're no good to us in jail.Copy !req
522. I don't plan on getting caught.Copy !req
523. What's going on?Copy !req
524. You, get back to bed!Copy !req
525. Both of you!Copy !req
526. Fuck you.Copy !req
527. Put it down.Copy !req
528. You gonna stop me?Copy !req
529. I'm warning you.Copy !req
530. You haven't got it in you.
You're finished!Copy !req
531. Since Mom died
you're nothing but a useless twat.Copy !req
532. What the fuck are you gonna do about it?Copy !req
533. - Stop it!Copy !req
534. What the fuck are you looking at?Copy !req
535. You haven't been practicing.Copy !req
536. Prepare. One, two. And one, and two...Copy !req

549. It's all right for you.
It's not you who has to do it!Copy !req
550. I know.Copy !req
551. You don't know anything!
What do you know in your posh houseCopy !req
552. with your husband that pisses himself?Copy !req
553. You're the same as everybody else.
All you want is to tell me what to do.Copy !req
554. Now wait a minute!Copy !req
555. Look, I don't wanna do
your stupid fucking audition!Copy !req
556. You only want me to do it
for your own benefit!Copy !req
557. Look, Billy...Copy !req
558. Because you're a failure!Copy !req
559. Don't you dare talk to me like that!Copy !req
560. You don't even have
a proper dancing school!Copy !req
561. You're stuck in some crummy boxing hall.Copy !req
562. Don't pick on me 'cause
you fucked up your own life!Copy !req
563. Can I put a tape on, Miss?Copy !req
564. All right, if you must.Copy !req
565. It's cush, isn't it?Copy !req
566. So, is there a story, then, Miss?Copy !req
567. Of course.Copy !req
568. It's about a woman
who's captured by an evil magician.Copy !req
569. Sounds crap.Copy !req
570. And this woman, this beautiful woman,Copy !req
571. is forced to be a swan.Copy !req
572. Except for a few hours every nightCopy !req
573. when she becomes alive.Copy !req
574. When she becomes real again.Copy !req
575. And then one night,Copy !req
576. she meets this young prince,Copy !req
577. and he falls in love with her.Copy !req
578. And she realizes,Copy !req
579. this is the one thing that will allow her
to become a real woman once more.Copy !req
580. So then what happens?Copy !req
581. He promises to marry her and then
goes off with someone else, of course.Copy !req
582. So she has to be a swan for good?Copy !req
583. She dies.Copy !req
584. Because the prince didn't love her?Copy !req
585. Come on. It's time to go.Copy !req
586. It's only a ghost story.Copy !req
587. Come on!Copy !req
588. No! No. No.Copy !req
589. It's me.Copy !req
590. It's Billy.Copy !req

You're not taking him away.Copy !req

881. Demi-plié, and hold.Copy !req
882. Now, Billy,
we'd like to see you move to some music.Copy !req
883. Do you have a piece prepared?Copy !req
884. Thank you.Copy !req
885. You all right? What's the matter?Copy !req

892. What on earth is going on here?Copy !req
893. How did it go?Copy !req
894. Shit!Copy !req
895. Mr Elliot, I'm afraid
that mutual respect and self-disciplineCopy !req
896. are absolute prerequisites
for any pupil in this school.Copy !req
897. Such displays of violence cannot be
tolerated under any circumstances.Copy !req
898. Do you understand?Copy !req
899. I realize we shall have to
consider this very seriously,Copy !req
900. and it will be bound to
affect our final decision.Copy !req
901. Yes, well, just a few questions, then. Billy,Copy !req
902. can you tell us why you first became
interested in the ballet?Copy !req
903. Don't know.Copy !req
904. Just was.Copy !req
905. Well, was there any particular
aspect of the balletCopy !req
906. which caught your imagination?Copy !req
907. The dancing.Copy !req

Every night after school.Copy !req
909. Yes. Well, we have a very enthusiastic letter
from Mrs Wilkinson,Copy !req
910. and she has told us of
your personal circumstances.Copy !req
911. Mr Elliot, are you a fan of the ballet?Copy !req
912. I wouldn't exactly say I was an expert.Copy !req
913. You do realize that all pupils
must attain the highest standards,Copy !req
914. not just in ballet,
but in their ordinary academic work.Copy !req
915. No child can succeed
without the 100% support of the family.Copy !req
916. You are completely behind Billy.Copy !req
917. Are you not?Copy !req
918. Yes. Yes, of course.Copy !req

925. what does it feel like when you're dancing?Copy !req
926. Don't know.Copy !req
927. Sort of feels good.Copy !req
928. It's sort of stiff and that,
but once I get going,Copy !req
929. then I forget everything.Copy !req
930. And,Copy !req
931. sort of disappear.Copy !req
932. Sort of disappear.Copy !req
933. Like I feel a change in me whole body.Copy !req
934. Like there's fire in me body.Copy !req
935. I'm just there, flying.Copy !req
936. Like a bird.Copy !req

947. What happened to the dinosaurs, Miss?Copy !req
948. They were crushed as well,Copy !req
949. and the pressure of all of this caused
the plants and trees to change into coal.Copy !req
950. - Ow!
