 There's gotta be a reason for that kind of behaviour.

He's scared shitless of Jimmy, that's the reason.

In God's name, man, I'm not asking much!

I'm asking you to delay the enquiry until we get back from Blackpool. It's only two weeks!

GODBOLT
|
I've been in your office, Ronnie. I've seen your workload.
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
GODBOLT
|
You've got cases piled on your desk - frauds, rapes, robberies.
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
GODBOLT
|
You should welcome an opportunity to get some of that cleared up.

CRAVEN

I want to get THIS cleared up.

One: Compassionate Leave

GODBOLT
|
So do I - it were me that wanted you called in, remember?
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
GODBOLT
|
But poking around in Blackpool during the Trades Union Conference? It's not on!
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
CRAVEN
|
It was fraud, Jim!
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
GODBOLT
|
We're talking about 300 bloody votes, and what were my majority? 2,300!
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
GODBOLT
|
Ronnie, we're on the brink of another strike, and you want to divert attention to a so-called election fix!
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
GODBOLT
|
Is that what you want?
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
GODBOLT
|
What are you trying to do, Ronnie? Discredit the union? Don't you think there's enough people want to do that?
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
GODBOLT
|
Stop playing by the rules, Ronnie. They don't cover this contingency.

There's someone down there. Down the track, in the bushes.
|

|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
GODBOLT
|
Right. Are we agreed, then?
|

One: Compassionate Leave

GODBOLT

Can we have a show of hands, then, brothers?

You chose a good one there, Harold. He's stubborn, but he's OK.

Not some clown trying to get himself on "News at Ten."

KENNETH KENDALL

[V.O] ... the main stories again. The Government has launched a new election manifesto designed to attract the growing Green vote in this country. Called ''The Greening of England'' it calls for a new radical approach to the environment. An influx...
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
MICHAEL MEACHER
|
Yes, you can contribute, but not to the kind of nuclear state that they want. And what do they face you with? With closure. They say it's in the name of economy.
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
MICHAEL MEACHER
|
But I say look behind it. Look at the mentality behind it which is so suspect.
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
MICHAEL MEACHER
|
It is a siege mentality.
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave

MICHAEL MEACHER
|
[V.O.] We see ministers busily winding up the drawbridge on the open society...

STUDENTS
|
[V.O.] Yeah!
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
MICHAEL MEACHER
|
[V.O.] But I say this, too, that I believe that there are new forces in our society. New forces, new loyalties, new ideas not yet articulated which may yet come to our rescue.
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
MICHAEL MEACHER
|
Now some of them will come from the Labour Party.
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
MICHAEL MEACHER
|
And some of them will come from other associations perhaps not yet formed, I accept that as well. But I say this - that in whatever shape these new forces manifest themselves, they will come from you, the despised students of humanities.
|
|
|
|
One: Compassionate Leave
|
MICHAEL MEACHER
|
[O.S.] It is.. It is you and your generation who will have to confront the frightening dangers that lie ahead. It is you who will have to deal with the dangers that I've outlined.

There's a note from Muntsey.

[V.O.] Supposing they threatened you with their massive conventional forces? Is our answer to use, to rely on the nuclear deterrent? First?

[V.O.] The nuclear deterrent is there to deter ALL war, and it has.

No, but this evening we're a little short-handed. My brief's a bit wider than that, which brings me to your daughter.

What's your interest in this matter?

The safety of the realm. We like to know what's going on north of Watford. I presume you discount the idea of revenge? No one here believes it.
