:07:15
Sitting up all night, stuffing your head
with the high-faluting rubbish.
:07:22
You and your scholarships.
:07:25
(RASPING COUGH)
:07:39
That'll do, lad.
:07:41
If you don't know enough now to pass
that scholarship, 12 hours won't help.
:07:48
Why don't you go for a walk up the field?
:07:52
- Hughie!
- What is it, Mother?
:07:55
- Breakfast.
- Breakfast?
:07:58
Did you say breakfast?
That's what I call a feed.
:08:02
Oysters, pickle. Pity I'm not hungry.
I'll just have a piece of that bread.
:08:10
I don't like that kind of fun.
Tha shouldn't mock good food.
:08:14
You're lucky to get anything
with your father clever like he is.
:08:19
Isn't every man who can scare miners
about a bit of water,
:08:23
get them to strike against the unions.
:08:25
Thank you.
:08:27
My father wasn't so clever,
nor my grandfather. They was just men.
:08:32
Master Pit commanded, men obeyed.
:08:35
They were daft enough
to think of their own families.
:08:39
Your father's cleverer than that, Hughie.
:08:42
He can see through solid coal
to the floodwater t'other side of it.
:08:47
Mr Barras and the union can't find that
for all their instruments.
:08:52
Barras knows it's there.
There's plans of them workings.
:08:56
- Taking a chance on it, that's all.
- Chance?
:08:59
- If Father says he's seen it, he has.
- He's seen it in the bottom of a glass!
