Plans or no plans, I've been sitting about here
for eight weeks and I'm fed up.

:09:10
That's the way I like to hear a man talk.
:09:13
Too many lads nowadays break
their necks to get away from pit.

:09:18
At least I've got one son
who wants to work with his coat on.

:09:23
She's right. 'Tisn't a coat I want to work in.
:09:26
Not much difference
between a coat and a football jersey.

:09:30
Tynecastle United are paying apprentices
five quid a week.

:09:34
If he can get away from the pit, I can,
and I don't have to read no books.

:09:49
- How then, Davey?
- Hello, Joe.

:09:52
- You going tomorrow for examination?
- Aye.

:09:55
You're lucky. One of these days
you'll see me in Tynecastle too.

:10:01
- What would you do in Tynecastle?
- Not listening to college professors.

:10:05
- There's money in Tynecastle, Davey.
- Money?

:10:09
Tynecastle's not the spot for that.
Morning, Davey, Joe.

:10:13
London's the spot. Georgie Cumming's
making £3 a week singing on the street.

:10:19
That's what I'm after. £3 just for singing!
:10:23
What I'm after is big money.
:10:25
You'll need it to pay back all the money
you pinch out of my pockets.

:10:31
- Your son's a born capitalist, Slogger.
- You bet your life I am.

:10:36
You've got to have money.
Ever going to make money in the pit? No.

:10:40
I want big money and I'm going places.
:10:44
You go to college.
I'm going to look after myself.

:10:48
You can smile, Davey, but where
will high-mindedness get you?

:10:53
Wasting your time fighting for the miners?
What an ambition!

:10:58
I'd sooner stay in Scupper Flats.
This whippet's running to skin and bone.
