Only When I Laugh s01e06 Tangled Subtitles

00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:24,I'm H -A -P -P -Y.

00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,I'm H -A -P -P -Y.

00:00:29,540 --> 00:00:33,I know I **, I'm sure I **.

00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,I'm H -A -P -P -Y.

00:00:36,980 --> 00:00:42,I know I **, I'm sure I **. He's H -A -P
-P -Y.

00:00:55,530 --> 00:00:56,The ingratitude of employers.

00:00:57,610 --> 00:01:02,15 years on a car assembly line, years of unremitting toil and sacked in

00:01:02,670 --> 00:01:03,minute's notice.

00:01:04,709 --> 00:01:07,The employers of this country have g***t a
lot to answer for.

00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:08,And what did he do?

00:01:08,410 --> 00:01:09,Hit the foreman.

00:01:10,510 --> 00:01:13,What do you expect? You can't go around
hitting the foreman. Who said he went

00:01:13,610 --> 00:01:17,around hitting the foreman? That's a
typical Tory bias, that is. He did it

00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:18,in 15 years.

00:01:18,770 --> 00:01:19,Well, that's no excuse.

00:01:19,790 --> 00:01:22,Supposing they all did it once every years, he'd be getting punched more

00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:23,times on the clock.

00:01:24,929 --> 00:01:27,Not that they punch the clock anymore.
That's the trouble nowadays.

00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:28,Not enough discipline.

00:01:28,510 --> 00:01:30,Well, in this case, they're extenuating
circumstances.

00:01:30,910 --> 00:01:32,What extenuating circumstances?

00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:35,The foreman didn't make his request in a
reasonable or diplomatic manner. He

00:01:35,870 --> 00:01:37,used a four -letter word.

00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:38,What was it? Work?

00:01:38,510 --> 00:01:39,No, it wasn't.

00:01:40,210 --> 00:01:42,I was referring to bad language.

00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:43,Don't be ridiculous.

00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:47,He must have heard bad language before.
Well, maybe he was the sensitive type.

00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:49,Sensitive? Oh!

00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:52,I see. I suppose because he's working
class, he hasn't g***t any right to be

00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:55,sensitive. As a matter of fact, it says
here he was deeply hurt.

00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:57,So was the foreman.

00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,Well, it was the foreman's fault.

00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:00,He should have let him sleep it off.

00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:06,Do you mean to say he was drunk? Of
course he wasn't drunk.

00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,He'd had a few, but he wasn't drunk.

00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:12,He said he was drunk in the Daily Mail.
Oh, did he? Well, according to the Daily

00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,Mail, he was overtired. Why don't you
get the Morning Star? You'll probably

00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,he came from his sickbed.

00:02:17,020 --> 00:02:18,He was not drunk.

00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:20,If he wasn't drunk, why did he fall
asleep?

00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,Because he was worn out from running up
and down ladders.

00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:26,I thought you said he worked on the
assembly line. Oh, that's at night. In

00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,day, he's a window cleaner.

00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,What was he doing two jobs for? Because
my innocent friend, he had a wife and

00:02:32,420 --> 00:02:35,family to support, and the economy of
this country is based on two pay

00:02:36,140 --> 00:02:38,Only because they want their holidays in
Benidorm.

00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,I see. I suppose the working classes
aren't entitled to holidays abroad.

00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,I suppose if you had your way, all
they'd get is a fortnight's op picking.

00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,Look, if they want holidays abroad and
colour television, they'll just have to

00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:48,work harder.

00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:52,Instead of going on strike all the time.
Listen, everyone is entitled to strike.

00:02:52,510 --> 00:02:55,That's the only weapon you've g***t. The
withdrawal of labour is your fundamental

00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:57,right, otherwise you get exploitation.

00:02:58,570 --> 00:02:59,Well, look at Clegg there.

00:03:00,470 --> 00:03:02,Look at the human misery on that face.

00:03:03,790 --> 00:03:05,How do you think he g***t that?

00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:06,Probably asked him to lift something.

00:03:07,210 --> 00:03:09,That's bureaucratic exploitation.

00:03:09,550 --> 00:03:11,Hey, Clegg, come here and show him your
pay package.

00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,I don't want a sense of pay packet.
That's all right, mate. Come on, Clegg,

00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:19,him your pay packet. I don't want to.
There's no need to be ashamed, brother.

00:03:19,540 --> 00:03:23,We're the ones who should be ashamed. Go
on, go on. Show him your pay packet.

00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:30,What about that, then? That's not his
total deductions you're looking at, you

00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:31,know. That's his wage.

00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:36,That's not much. Not much? It's a
pittance. He can't live on that wage.

00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:37,could always get another job.

00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:40,He doesn't want another job. It's
vocational, isn't it, Clegg?

00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,That's right.

00:03:41,550 --> 00:03:42,Well, I'm sorry.

00:03:42,650 --> 00:03:44,It's no good being sorry.

00:03:44,870 --> 00:03:46,Craig, have you g***t a television?

00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:50,No. We had to watch the cup final
through the co -op window.

00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:52,Hear that, eh?

00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:56,And where are you going for your
holidays this year? I can't afford to

00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:57,holiday.

00:03:57,450 --> 00:03:58,We'll be out in the garden again.

00:03:59,290 --> 00:04:02,taking turns on the sun lounger. There
you are, eh? Talk about being

00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:06,underprivileged. A family with only one
sun lounger, and he g***t that with

00:04:06,450 --> 00:04:07,cornflake packets.

00:04:07,930 --> 00:04:10,Look, I know it seems unjust, but
there's only so much to go round.

00:04:12,370 --> 00:04:14,Let me see if I can explain it to you.

00:04:16,010 --> 00:04:17,Clegg.

00:04:17,529 --> 00:04:18,Now,

00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:21,the most national product is like a
large cake.

00:04:21,950 --> 00:04:25,Now, we all get a slice, but some people
get larger slices than others.

00:04:25,950 --> 00:04:27,Now, you want a larger slice.

00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:31,That means that somebody else is going
to get left. Then he'll want a larger

00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:33,slice. Why can't we all have an equal
slice?

00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,Oh, don't be ridiculous, Norman.

00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,But why can't we? Because he's doing the
cutting. Because we're not all equal,

00:04:39,340 --> 00:04:39,that's why.

00:04:39,860 --> 00:04:43,No, you're talking to Mr Big Slice. Not
only does he get the largest share, he

00:04:43,780 --> 00:04:44,knows where all the cherries are.

00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:48,Come on, Clegg, we cannot stand around
here chewing the fat all day. We are

00:04:48,020 --> 00:04:48,for lunch.

00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:52,Hurry, hurry, come on. No, no, no, wait
a minute, wait a minute. There's no need

00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:55,to talk to him like that. He's not one
of your untouchables, you know.

00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:57,No, no.

00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,That's right.

00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,What is this, Constance? What are you
talking about? I know you believe in the

00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:04,caste system, but this man has g***t his
rights.

00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:05,That's right.

00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,I don't have to take orders from you.

00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:09,I take orders from the cleaning
supervisor.

00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,Right. All I'm saying is we're late for
lunch and we're wasting time. Now, come

00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:14,on, Clegg.

00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:18,Yeah, well, you just watch what you're
saying to me.

00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:20,I know you're tight.

00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:23,You've only been in the country five
minutes and you're driving your own

00:05:26,670 --> 00:05:28,You can't stop doing it, can you? What?

00:05:28,670 --> 00:05:30,Agitating, stirring things up.

00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:34,You're a proper little Lenin. Just
because I remind people of their rights?

00:05:34,170 --> 00:05:37,Times have changed, you know, Glover.
There's been a social revolution since

00:05:37,530 --> 00:05:38,played with a gardener's boy.

00:05:39,070 --> 00:05:41,I hope you're listening to all this,
Norman. You might learn something.

00:05:42,330 --> 00:05:45,I think I'm getting through to you,
aren't I? You've g***t that worried frown

00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:50,again. Is it the inequality of the class
system? Is it the unacceptable face of

00:05:50,530 --> 00:05:52,capitalism? Is that what's distressing
you?

00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:54,No. What is it, then, son?

00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,Boiled fish and semolina.

00:05:57,140 --> 00:05:59,What? We've g***t it again today.

00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:03,Is that all you can think about? You've
g***t a chance to discuss all the major

00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:07,political issues of the day and all you
can think about is boiled fish...
