She says she don't care, right, and they argue a bit, right, and a man comes over ter ask if she is Not so bad. Sean tells 'im ter mind 'is own business, and Roxy says she don't know Sean, and yes, he is bovverin' 'er. Cor blimey guv, would I lie to you? The man steps up and wen 'e grabs Sean, Sean kicks 'is legs out and dumps 'im on the sand, and repeats 'is freat. Roxy 'as taken this opportunity ter run off. Peggy goes ter collect 'er whistle and flutecase, wich the bobbies 'ave recovered. Sean finds Roxy and 'e says yes, he's not favver of the year material, and yes, right, he 'as been a mess but now 'e knows wot 'e wants, but they are alike, they 'ave boff been 'round the chuffin' block, made mistakes, right, been 'urt, right, this baby could be a 'oole new start, right, put the bloody mistakes behind them, the bloomin' two of them. She is sceptical and she says 'e right believes that - but 'e don't want 'er, all 'e wants is the baby. She walks off and 'e calls after 'er that 'e luvs 'er. They rabbit and pork and she says if she were sure about 'im .., init?Sean says sincerely that she can be sure, he luvs 'er, and does she feel anyfink for 'im at all, then, eh, mate? She kisses 'im briefly and unenffusiastically, and says that's it, right, how she feels. He sighs. Ronnie goes ter pack Roxy's kit and 'er favver starts ter try persuadin' 'er that she is makin' a mistake, and she says 'e is manipulatin' Roxy, and 'e is buyin' Roxy. He says 'e is sharin' 'is wealff, right, he wants to. He says that after 'is illness, he 'ave a looks at it differently, the chuffin' brass don't matter, and 'e wants ter help out where 'e can, do wot guvnor! Ronnie say no, right, he just wants ter take Roxy oray from 'er, and 'e tells 'er that she ain't 'appy, right, ffese men, Jack, etc, sounds like a mess, and 'er career ain't right gahn anywhere, she is just usin' Roxy ter fill the bloomin' hole in 'er life. Yer can't 'ave a knees-up wivout a joanna. Ronnie says, yes, that 'ole is 'is fault - the baby that 'e made 'er give over, init?He says it were the right fin', she weren't ole enough at 14 ter have a baby. Then 'e says 'e didn't force 'er ter sign the paper, she 'ad the choice, Nanny Goat Race it, she made the bloody wrong decision, init?Ronnie says she were 14 and 'e told 'er it were the right fin' ter do, right, and if she did, he would 'ave a look after 'er, right, luv 'er, right, but then after she 'ad, he ignored 'er, as soon as she were ole enough ter have a mind of 'er own, right, he 'ated 'er. He says angrily that she were selfish, callous, she used ter be 'is wee girl, dote on 'im and then she suddenly turned 13 and were interested in fellas and all 'er attention went ter some spotty kid, right, and she got 'erself pregnant. Ronnie rants about 'ow she called the adoption agency but they couldn't tell 'er anyfink, right, and 'ow she dreams about the baby, right, and the child. She says all that were 'is fault. Archie says if she 'ad said she were sorry, right, admitted it were a mistake, shown respect ter him, right, it could 'ave been different. He repeats insistently, say sorry, right, now, right, go on. She leaves, right, and Archie says oh, by the way don't bovver ter 'ave a look for 'er, she died 13 years ago. Ronnie turns hammer and tack and says 'e's lyin', why didn't 'e tell 'er before. He says she spit in 'is Nanny Goat Race, he wouldn't tell a nasty, right, spiteful girl like yer about a baby she didn't even want, that she gave oray. Archie says the chuffin' family called ter tell 'er, because they fought the bloody birff muvver should be at the funeral, but 'e didn't tell 'er. So, she can forget 'er paffetic maudlin fantasy about the daughter she disposed of, she is dead and buried, rottin' and it's all Ronnie's fault. He snotches 'er locket wiv the picture of 'er baby. He says that's life's payback for Ronnie's vicious, selfish, neglect of 'er favver, do wot guvnor! She slaps 'im and 'e 'olds 'er dahn on the sofa wiv 'is 'ands round 'er neck, wiv 'is 'oole weight on 'er. He tells 'er that if she pushes 'er luck, right, he will finish 'er for right good, teach 'er a lesson once and for all. He gets up and she gasps and rubs 'er neck. Roxy walks in and asks woss gahn on, do wot guvnor! Ronnie 'as recovered and is sittin' on the chuffin' floor, right, 'ave a lookin' dishevelled. Archie frows a few notes at Ronnie on the bloody floor and says she said 'er taxi is waitin' outside. Roxy asks for a few minutes alone wiv Ronnie. Archie goes outside and spots Sean, waitin', and 'e introduces 'imself politely ter Archie, 'oo 'ave a looks 'im up and dahn and don't 'ave a look pleased. He tells Sean ter go ter an 'otel, on 'im, and shoves a wad of cash at 'im. Peggy arrives hammer and tack and Archie lies that Ronnie 'as shut 'im out and she is a disturbed bint. Peggy apologises for 'er part in it and says she will sort them out. Archie and Sean come hammer and tack in a few minutes later ter join them, and Archie acts right differently ter Ronnie, right, sayin' 'e wants ter be chinas. He asks them all ter stay the bleedin' night. Roxy asks Ronnie ter make up and she pretends to, right, but says she 'as ter leave now or she never will, do wot guvnor! She tells them she 'as decided ter give it a go wiv Sean. Archie 'ave a looks irritated but calls 'er 'is wee blonde angel, wich is wot 'e 'as said Ronnie were wen she were a child, and 'e 'ave a looks pointedly and Ronnie wen 'e says it. Ronnie pretends ter kiss 'is cheek, right, and wispers that she will kiss 'is gravestone wen 'e's dead. They 'ave a look nastily at each uvver. They all leave, and Ronnie sends off 'er taxi, right, as she is copping a lift wiv Sean. Archie makes a last ditch attempt ter get Peggy ter stay, askin' 'er ter share a bottle of champagne, right, and 'e goes on about them bein' ole enough that they can't werete time and 'e wants ter ask 'er wot 'e should 'ave 40 years ago.
