Tell us the story
about The Mansions, da.

:10:07
Yeah, da,
tell us about The Mansions.

:10:12
Fair enough.
:10:13
Do you want to hear
the whole thing?

:10:14
From the start.
:10:15
Okay.
:10:17
Long, long ago,
years ago before you were born

:10:20
and your ma and me and Auntie Lisa
were very young

:10:22
we all lived in a place
called The Mansions.

:10:25
All our grannies and grand-dads
and brothers

:10:27
and sisters and all our pals.
It was brilliant.

:10:30
It was like a big hotel...
:10:33
built specially for us
and all our mates.

:10:36
And when I was young,
:10:38
I used to think
God was smiling down on us.

:10:41
Putting a special glow around us
so we could do as we pleased.

:10:44
Go about our business with
no-one getting in our way.

:10:48
And that it would never change.
:10:50
Tell us about the bailiffs, da.
:10:54
All right, so.
:10:56
Do you know what bailiffs are?
:10:58
They're just like gods
but they're worse.

:11:00
Much worse.
:11:04
So... one day...
this was before you were born.

:11:07
I was coming home
after working hard all day.

:11:11
And I saw them -- the bailiffs
attacking our homes.

:11:15
Big bastards with hammers and
knives and all sorts of things.

:11:18
But that didn't stop me
when I saw what they were at.

:11:20
I went for them.
:11:22
We fought for hours.
:11:23
But there was too many altogether.
:11:25
So, your ma and me and Lisa
:11:27
we barricaded ourselves in
and we wouldn't come out.

:11:30
You're need gonna take our homes
away from us.

:11:32
And they couldn't get in,
no matter how hard they tried.

:11:34
They huffed and they puffed,
but it was no use.

:11:38
And all around us...
:11:40
we could hear
the screaming and wailing

:11:42
of our friends and neighbors
:11:44
as they tore their houses
to little pieces.

:11:47
Like savages they were.
:11:49
They tried everything
:11:51
but they didn't know me.
:11:53
I wouldn't budge.
:11:55
No matter if they brought the
whole place down around our ears.

:11:57
And then the Mayor came!
:11:58
That's right.
