Desmonds s02e08 For Love Or Money Subtitles

00:00:07,470 --> 00:00:11,From the long, hot night with an ocean
breeze to the damp and to the rain of

00:00:11,370 --> 00:00:12,London City.

00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:19,We come from the sun to live in the
cold, I'm in the rum, I want my coconut

00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:20,tree.

waist and feel the air.

00:00:35,610 --> 00:00:36,Don't scratch my soca.

00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:43,I don't like the look of that face.

00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:44,It's looking old.

00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:49,Ah, that's better.

00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:54,Desmond Ambrose, 58, and not a mark on
you. Oh, yes, there is. Where? There.

00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,Oh, yes.

00:00:56,780 --> 00:00:59,Look, Desmond, we're supposed to be
spring cleaning.

00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:02,At the rate you're going, it'll be
spring before we finish.

00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,Are you going, Tony?

00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:08,Aye, how sweet is a nutshell. Just leave
the money in the usual place. You mean

00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,to tell me you're giving him... I'm only
joking, Dave.

00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:12,All right.

00:01:12,690 --> 00:01:18,What are you doing with that shower cap
on your head?

00:01:18,290 --> 00:01:20,Because me don't want to get water in me
hair.

00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:23,Why are you supposed to be washing the
floor?

00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:27,Yes, me know that, but we supposed to be
spring cleaning. So we cleaning the

00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:28,shop from top to bottom.

00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:34,In that case, we will clean the top and
you only have to clean... His bottom.

00:01:40,220 --> 00:01:41,Dry cleaning.

00:01:41,380 --> 00:01:42,Hello, Michael.

00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,Yes, well, I suppose it's good to see
the old shop being cleaned. I've been

00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:47,asking for months.

00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,Michael, do you consider yourself a man
of action?

00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:56,Yes. A man of driving ambition that gets
things done.

00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,Yeah, well, you're getting closer, yeah.
So why haven't you cleaned the shop

00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:00,yourself?

00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,Father, look, I've g***t to go back to
work. I only came in to put this poster

00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,See, the bank has sponsored a talent
competition to celebrate...

00:02:08,529 --> 00:02:10,I don't like that word for music.

00:02:10,970 --> 00:02:15,No, no, no, no. You've g***t it all wrong.
You see, P .O .P. stands for Proud of

00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:18,Peckham. Oh, yes, I've heard about that.

00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:22,Ah. P .O .P., Proud of Peckham, and
you're running a music competition.

00:02:23,170 --> 00:02:26,Hmm. I like it, I like it. Yes, it is
good, isn't it? It was my idea, of

00:02:26,850 --> 00:02:27,Of course it would be.

00:02:28,210 --> 00:02:30,A thousand pounds for a spray? What?

00:02:31,550 --> 00:02:33,That's a lot of money, Michael.

00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,You're sure that ain't going to just
encourage greed rather than

00:02:37,980 --> 00:02:40,Oh, you hear that, Popeye? I like when
she talk nice like that.

00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:42,Musicianship. Well,

00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,I think you have to offer young people
incentives today, Mother.

00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:52,Well, it still don't look right to me.
In my day, this was all the incentive we

00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,needed. Ain't that right, Popeye?

00:02:54,380 --> 00:02:56,So what is it? First prize.

00:02:56,740 --> 00:02:58,June 1959.

Competition.

00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:03,How you know that?

00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:04,I used to clean them.

00:03:05,970 --> 00:03:10,You can spring clean them. He used to
blow this old thing. Look, give me that.

00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:15,Tony, that trumpet g***t the best chat -up
lines I ever heard.

00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:17,Name that tune.

00:03:20,870 --> 00:03:24,Is it Bert Lacks to get and a Lally to
let?

00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,Nope. Let me see. This could really be
difficult.

00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,Could it possibly be the Georgetown
Dreamers featuring... Desmond Jesse D.

00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,Ambrose on trumpets.

00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:38,Augustus Popeye Grant on guitars.

00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:41,No, man. What is this? You? That's
wicked.

00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,We know.

00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:52,You're not thinking of entering that
competition, are you? Well, I just...

00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,competition is to give young people a
chance.

00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,Since when have young people given us a
chance? It says nothing about age on

00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,that poster. All it says is music
competition.

00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:02,P -O -P, pop, and I'm a pop.

00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:07,There's no fool like an old fool,
Desmond. Remember that.

00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:10,But any old fool can win a thousand
pounds. Remember that.

00:04:13,870 --> 00:04:17,to remix this and enter that
competition, mate. I tell you, people

00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:18,revivals nowadays.

00:04:18,190 --> 00:04:21,It's true. Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson. Oh,
they're really kicking it, you know.

00:04:22,089 --> 00:04:23,You mean they kick the bucket, them
dead?

00:04:24,630 --> 00:04:26,I don't want to be dead for my revival.

00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:29,I want to be around and alive to spend
my cut.

00:04:29,930 --> 00:04:30,Oh, I don't know.

00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:33,I've not a pan play since Sweet Sticks
died.

00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:35,What about Sean?

00:04:35,690 --> 00:04:36,Yeah, I could play the pans.

00:04:37,050 --> 00:04:38,What do you know about playing pans?

00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:41,We'd really look like old fools with a
young amateur on the stage next to us.

00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,Well, I can mix it for you. What do you
know about mixing?

00:04:45,340 --> 00:04:48,Why don't you have to go to school?
Yeah, yeah, I'm going. I'll see you

00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,old man.

00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,You know that, Popeye? I mean, these
youngsters have no respect for the

00:04:53,140 --> 00:04:55,There's only one way to teach them
respect, and that's through our music.

00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,Listen up, my man.

00:04:57,700 --> 00:04:59,Let's show them that we is not too old.

00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,Popeye, I believe you've said the first
sensible thing all day. Don't tell

00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,Shirley anything about this.

00:05:07,260 --> 00:05:09,The Georgetown Dreamers ride again.

00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:11,The Georgetown Dreamers ride again.

00:05:11,980 --> 00:05:14,If the Rolling Stones can do it, so can
we.

00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:44,I'm a star!

00:05:51,220 --> 00:05:55,I must get a tree, the drummer with the
sticks. If you don't hit time, I'll give

00:05:55,060 --> 00:05:56,you licks.

00:05:57,460 --> 00:06:03,I must get a 40 man with the bass. I
never rush, I just hit the bass.

00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,I must get a five.

00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,I'm not alive.

00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:31,If we're going to reform this band,
Vincent and me would like to see a few

00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:32,changes made.

00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,Like what?

00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:39,Popeye mustn't stand in front of me on
stage so that nobody could see my face.

00:06:39,340 --> 00:06:43,When I stand in front of you, it's you
who does always stand in front of me.

00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,How old are you, Bert?

00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,Go on, have a guess.

00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:48,Twelve? Because that is how old you're
behaving.

00:06:49,180 --> 00:06:51,I ** not behaving like a twelve -year
-old.

00:06:51,580 --> 00:06:52,All right, I'll tell you what.

00:06:53,260 --> 00:06:56,Popeye and Bert will stand side by side
on the stage. You happy?

00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,Yes. No.

00:06:58,060 --> 00:06:59,So what's your problem? You don't need a
drummer?

00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,Tell us about this competition.

00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,One thousand pounds.

00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,How much?

00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:08,A thousand pounds.

00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,For that sort of money, I will stand
behind the drum kit.

00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,Are we overlooking a big problem?

00:07:22,610 --> 00:07:24,What about your son, Michael?

00:07:24,730 --> 00:07:29,No. Michael doesn't have a musical bone
in his body. His idea of music is the

00:07:29,290 --> 00:07:31,sound of coins rattling in his pocket.

00:07:31,450 --> 00:07:32,Sean would be good.

00:07:32,970 --> 00:07:37,That boy has natural rhythm. No. I **
sure you can coach him through.

00:07:38,010 --> 00:07:41,Father handing down to son. Well, I dare
say he could learn.

00:07:41,850 --> 00:07:45,But Desmond, you already told Sean you
didn't want him. He's my son. I can tell

00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:47,him he's no good. I can...
