# BILLY STRAYHORN: Take the 'A' Train
Excuse me. 借过
What is the matter with you?
Sexual depravity, loose morals, fomication. The country's going to the dogs.
What do you think about becoming a Jehovah's Witness? 你们觉得成为耶和华见证人如何
Any good? 不好吗
Not really. It's a bit pretentious. 不是太好 有点做作
Well, that's the French for you.
Wouldn't catch me reading a French book.
Five twenty-two.
That's the train I get home tonight.Same carriage. Name's Ron.
Don't be late.
Miss Powell, I wonder if you could work late tonight, just till five?
We need to process these orders before the markets open
and I need this done by somebody I can trust.
Yes, Mr Kerslake, I'll do it.
I'll stay and help, if you like?
No, that's OK, Gordon. I can manage.
I'll take that for you.Cheers, mate.
You're a bloody shower, Biggsy.
Why do you lug everythin' round in that briefcase?
Never show your hand
not unless you have to
Flash Harry, that's all you are.
What is hand show?
Well, say if I was to bump into a bird, Henry,
when I'm on my way to work or something.
Now, I don't want her knowing that I'm a tradesman, do I?
This is logic.
How many birds do you want?.
You've always got half a dozen on the go as it is.
Half a dozen and one. That's how many I want.
Thank you, Miss...
Ooh!
Wait!
Please... Thank you.
Argh! Ohh!
Didn't want to miss me, then?
I saw you running.I thought to myself, 'she's keen.'
I always get this train home.
Where are you getting out?.
Er... Reigate.
Ooh, there's a bit of luck. Me, too.
Shall we go for a coffee?
We'd better say goodnight here.
My dad can be a bit... funny about me having friends up at the house.
Good night.
Here, I didn't even get a kiss goodbye!
Will I still see you on Friday?
Don't forget now.
Hi, Mum.
You'd better go in there.
You're nearly an hour late.
Where were you?
I went for a coffee in Reigate, sir,with a friend.
Which friend?
Someone I know from the train.
A girl.
You told me to go out and get a job and pay my way, and I did.
Surely I'm allowed a social life, sir?.
Are you wearing make-up?
A little bit.
I don't know why.
I've told you before, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Dad is absolutely furious with you.
He says you're concealing something from him.
Are you? Concealing anything?
Yes.
A man. Hm.I'm going to see a man on Friday.
A tall man who makes me laugh.
And he's got broad shoulders and the most lovely blue eyes.
And he's going to kiss me and hold me in his arms.
What are you really going to do on Friday?
..and the salesman clearly thinks I'm some sort of oik,
so he says,'all right, if I let you sit in the car, sonny, will you sling your hook?'
And I said, 'If I buy it, will you sling yours?'
He bought the bloody thing just to show him up!
It's a nice motor.
Tell 'em about the Astor club, Bruce.
All I shall say is it involved a knight of the realm,
a beautiful young lady,and beyond that my lips are sealed.
Hey, you can't dangle a carrot like that!
Are you going to introduce us?
Gents, this is Charmian.
My round. Same again, everyone?What about you, Charm?
I don't really drink much.
Get her a whisky mac.
Right-o.
Bruce. Mwah. Pleased to meet you.
Bloody hell, Biggsy.
What?
Well, she's not...
like your usual sort. She's a bit of class, Michael, that's what she is.
I'm going up in the world.
You toff!
Where's Ronnie taking you tonight?.
I guess just for a drink.He hasn't got anywhere special planned.
Well, in that case,you must go and listen to some jazz.
Lionel Hampton is playing tonight.My treat.
I think there's more to you than meets the eye, Ronald Biggs.
What do you mean?
Well, for starters, your friend with the glasses, he's a...
Well, there's something a bit... not right about him.
Not right?.
I think he might be up to no good.
What about me?
I don't know. Probably.
You're not the type of fella my dad would like me to meet, I know that.
That's not necessarily a bad thing,by the way.
You can tell me anything, you know.I won't be shocked.
Have you got a girlfriend?
Ohh.
No.
But er...
I have been in trouble.
I've been to prison a couple of times,
that's where I met Bruce.You're right about that.
And what about now?
I'm... a humble carpenter.
Not a very good proposition, am I?
What was that for?.
Because you told the truth.
Do you want to see inside my dad's school?
He's headmaster here.
Come on.
I was all set to go to university
but I failed my Latin exam by two marks,
so I missed out on a scholarship.
My dad said that he wouldn't support me any more
and I had to get a job. You didn't have to get me drunk tonight.
I'd have let you... you know,
even if I was still sober.
Jesus! I don't think I've ever met anyone like you.
Does that mean you like me? Because I really like you, Ron.
Come 'ere...
# Why do I just wither
# And forget all existence
# When you and your magic pass by... #
Is Mr Powell at home?
Ronald Arthur Biggs
has a list of petty crimes to his name as long as your arm,
in and out of prison. And this is the type you've been associating withfor the past two months! 监狱的常客 这就是跟你交往了两个月的人
-He told me all about it. He's decent now, sir. -Huh! 这些他都跟我说了 他现在是个体面的人 先生 -哼
-He wouldn't know the meaning of the word. -他甚至不知道体面为何物
Dishonourably discharged from the Royal Air Force?
That's how decent he is.
He works for a living. He's a carpenter.
A carpenter?. A common labourer!
He's a tradesman. He's very skilled.
He's a jailbird. A bad sort!
As the constable said, a leopard never changes its spots.
Well, I like him and he likes me.
Oh,does he?
Bemard...
If he likes you so much, why is he living with another woman?
I don't believe it.
A Mrs Ivy Peters, from Merstham.
He's been cohabiting with her for the last 18 months,
ever since he got out of his last spell in prison!
You're lying! Tell me he's lying, Mum!
It's all here, dates and details.
She found out he was seeing you and informed the police.
And they very kindly thought a man in my position might like to know
the type of person his daughter was consorting with!
You can't see him any more, Charm,
not now you know what he's really like.
People around here look up to me.
I can't have them sniggering and pointing behind my back!
But I love him!
Don't speak like that in front of your father.
What do you think you're doing?!
If you are not home this evening, you will never be welcome...!
Never be welcome in this house again. Do you understand me?!
I wouldn't spend another minute under that roof anyway of you.
Look, I have your best interests at heart.
This Peters woman informed the police that Biggs...
had a venereal disease!
Is that what you want?. Children bom with deformities? Congenital idiots?!
No! Get off!
How dare you!
Charmian!
Charmian! Charmian!!
He's a degenerate!!
What will become of you?!!
I got Mum to pack an extra one. Fancy going to the park for lunch?
No, Gordon.
Come on!I'll buy you an ice cream in Lyons.
They've got a new flavour, black cherry...
No, i won't, i don't want to
Suit yourself.
Hello?
The clap? Is that what Ivy's been saying? (LAUGHS) Shh!
Don't believe a word of it.
You know it's just spite because I told her about you.
Look, it's true, I am living with her, but I didn't lie to you.
She's not my girlfriend.
I only live with her because I have to, under the terms of my probation.
My folks wouldn't have anything to do with me, and she offered me a room.
She's a friend of Bruce's.
Do you sleep with her?.
I did, occasionally, in lieu of the rent. But she means nothing to me.
How can she mean nothing if you've slept with her?. Well, with Ivy it's just like...
it's just like...sinking into a comfortable old armchair.
Come on, Charm,
I'm crazy about you...
Well, I can't go home,
not if I keep on seeing you.
I brought a bag of clothes with me.
I had this daft idea we could run away together and be free.
It's a stupid idea. I should go home and suffer the consequence -
Let's do it. My mate has a car.
We could be hundreds of miles away by tonight.
Do you really mean it?
We've got no future with you at home.
We could sleep in the same bed.
We wouldn't be doing much sleeping.
Ron, do you love me? Cos I love you.
Come on now, don't go all sentimental on me. We've got problems.
What?. Money. I haven't got any. I don't suppose you have, either?.
We've got to have something to live on, Charm.
It can't be all thin air and lovemaking.
This place you work at, it's a bullion dealers, right?
Yes.
They've got to have plenty of cash lying about, haven't they?
Ron, no, I couldn't possibly! They've been so good to me.
Don't be naive.
No, Ron, please!
Listen! If you wanna be with me, you can't act like a frightened little girl.
Now, if you can't do this thing for us,
you may as well go back home tonight and we accept it's over.
Get that in the safe, please, Miss Powell.
Yes, Mr Kerslake.
OK, what's going on?
Why are you acting so...
weird?
What you doing?
(Charmian?)
I'm going away, Gordon. Whether you tell Mr Kerslake about this or not,
it won't make any difference.
Gordon, I'm sorry if this hurts you, but I've found somebody.
Where are you going?
Away from this place, from everything.
That's what I want, Gordon. To be free.
(I'm sorry.)
Well, you'd better get on with it.
Kerslake won't be down for another ten minutes.
Goodbye, Gordon.
I won't forget you, Charmian.
More?
Good girl.
Bloody hell, we're rolling in it!
That's er... two hundred and twenty-eight pounds,ten shillings.
'Ere,that should keep us going for a bit.
Shut up!You want the Old Bill to hear us?Come on! Let's get moving.
What's going to happen when they find out it's missing?
You can't worry about that.We've gotta look forward.
The future's full of possibilities; the past will only drag you down.
Get into the car.
Finally!
I got one.
It's only rolled gold. If we're going to rent somewhere, it'd look better.
Just a minute, Mike.
Here, give me your finger.
I now pronounce us man and wife.
Welcome to the family, Mrs Biggs.
Be Bop A-bloody-Lula!
Go on, in you get.
How long will you be staying, Dr Marsh?
Ohh, a couple of weeks at least.
Oh, if you could just sign there, please.
(POSH ACCENT) I've been suffering from ill health lately. We saw your ad in the classifieds.
So I've come down here to recuperate. My wife loves it, don't you, darling?
Yes. I used to come here as a little girl.
Well, that'll be two pounds, 12 shillings deposit, please.
Of course.
I'll say good night then, Dr Marsh. Thank you, Mrs Greaves.
And I'll be just down the hallway if you need anything. All right.
I'd better let him in.
Get off!
It's bloody brass monkeys out there!
Keep it down, will ya? We don't want old nose ointment snooping around.
I parked the motor round the comer, out of sight.

Bearing this in mind,
I make you the subject of a probation order for two years.
The terms of your order
shall require that you reside at the family home.
It is my sincere hope...
that we never see you before a court again.
It's just a stock records clerk but the people seem nice,
and it's in Redhill so I won't have to pay the fares into London.
I'm trying to save as much i can for when you come out.
An old boy on my wing has agreed to take letters for me in exchange for a couple of snout.
He's not going to read them,is he?
The screws read them anyway.
Yes, but it's...personal.
I'll make sure he doesn't.
Here, we don't want him having a heart attack, do we?
Speaking of which...
Oh, Ron, do I have to?
You bet.
That'll have to do you.
It's torture, Charm,
having you so close, not being able to do anything about it.
Oh, that's it?.
All right, time's up.
A week's wages to get here, all for half an hour.
I suppose you're worth it.
You'll never know how much it means to me, to have you visit me.
To know you're waiting for me.
No-one's ever done that for me before.
I love you, Charm.
Now don't go all sentimental on me.
I'd better put some clothes on before I freeze to death.
See you next month.
Bye, love.
Gillian,
back upstairs with the boys.
Why can't I stay here? I'm not a kid.
Just go away, will you?! You're so annoying.
Muriel, would you tell the jailbird
that I will not give her my permission to marry the criminal.
Over my dead body!
You're going to have to wait till you're 21, Charm.
I thought he might say that, so you'd better tell him I'm pregnant.
What?.!
If he doesn't sign that form, I'll challenge him in the courts.
Then two things will happen. First when a woman is pregnant and the man is willing to marry her,
the judge will always come down on their side.
And second, it'll be all over the local papers again.
Does he really want that?.
Take it out to him, Mum, he'll sign it.
I don't know what the world is coming to, I really don't.
Bloody hell, I'm glad I'm on your side.
I promise you,
from now on I'm on the straight and narrow.
I'm never going back inside, Charm.
If you do, there can't be any future between us.
I won't spend my whole life waiting for you.
Congratulations!
Congratulations.
Mr and Mrs Biggs!
# A heart full of joy

Here you go, lads, tea break.
Oh, thanks, Peter.
Had any winners lately?
You're joking, aren't ya?
The ones I back are only good for the glue factory.
I take my hat off to you, you're doin' a grand job.
Only been going for two months but haven't had many complaints so far. Not my game, this sort of thing.
这儿有一句。。。。。
40 years on the trains I was. Drove 'em from one end of the country to the other.
Couldn't so much as put a shelf up.
Ron, it's the hospital! Your wife's gone in to have the baby.
No panic.We had a false alarm last week. 'Phantom contractions'.
Plenty of time to finish off here.
She said you'd say something like that.
She said to say - excuse my French - 'bloody well get your arse up here.'
You'd best get up there, mate.
Yeah, wish me luck!
Aren't you going to say hello?
It's your own flesh and blood.
Someone who needs you.
That's all you ever needed, Ron. A family.
Hello, mate.
Mum.
I'm sorry it's taken so long,
but we've come to see the baby.
And... Dad doesn't know about it.
Here he is.
His name's Handsome Harry.
There you go.
His name's Nicholas. These are lovely, Mum.
Dad caught her knitting one night and he was furious with her.
How is old Bemard, Moo?
Oh, he's all right, I suppose.
He's spending a lot more time at the church these days.
He took me to Billy Graham the other week.
And were you saved? Very good of him to come over from America, Mr Graham,
just to save 'our-souls'.
Come on, Gillian, let's give Nick-Pops a bath.
There's a good boy. Look at you.
He loves bath time, don't you?
Well, I must say,
Ron's proved your father wrong.
He had him down as a waster... and a thief.
He looks after me, Mum. He's truly a different person.
He's got weeks and weeks of work booked up
and he's always buying the baby things.
In fact, he's made such a good job of being a dad
that I've decided to give him another go.
Oh, I'm...
I'm pleased for you, Charm. Really, I am.
Do you think Dad'll come round one day? To see his grandsons?
I wouldn't build your hopes up, love.
He's a very stubbom man,
like his daughter.
Bye-bye, sherby dabs. Mwah!
What's up?
It's from the landlords.
They want to sell the house. Asking price, ￡4,000.
They say we've got first refusal,
but we need to find a deposit of ￡400.
I can't lay my hands on it, love, not right now.
I would if people'd pay their bills on time, but every penny is tied up in the business.
But this is our home.
I love this house - all the work we've done getting it nice.
I can't face uprooting, Ron, not with another baby on the way.
Hey, hey, hey, it's OK. Don't worry.
I'll get the money somehow.
Hey, shh, shh, shh.
Don't cry.
Bruce.
Ronnie! Over here, mate. I won't be a minute.
It's a gruesome business.
I've managed to divest him of the offending article,
but installing a new one is proving trickier than anticipated.
I don't know, where did it all go wrong?
So how long's it been? A couple of years?
Well, it's four, I think.
Well, I'm pleased things worked out with you and Charmian.
How's the building trade?
Yeah, well, um, look, I'll be straight with you, Bruce.
I need to borrow some money.
It's for the deposit on our house. I couldn't think who else to tum to.
How much do you need?
400 quid.
I'm sorry, Ron, I can't give it to you.
Well, fair enough.
No.
I can't give it to you because I haven't got it.
All my money's tied up in a job I'm planning.
What I can give you is a place on that job.
It's a big one, Ron.
I daresay we could use an extra pair of hands.
If I asked the others, I'm sure they'll cut you in.
No. No, I appreciate it, Bruce, but I've put all that behind me now.
Bruce, can you take him? Is he ready for his bottle now?
Are you hungry? It's OK.
There you go. (LOUD CRIES)
Pick that baby up! You can see I'm up to my elbows in here!
All right, all right!
What's got into Mummy today?
Every day I think the bailiffs are gonna tum up and throw us out.
They won't. Even if they do, we'll find somewhere else.
I don't want to live anywhere else! I had a look at places yesterday.
All you can get for what we can afford is rising damp and an outside toilet.
I want my own house.
Look, I've tried to get the money, Charm, honest I have!
Something'll come up, love.
Charmian.
Hello, Bruce.
This is my wife Frances.
Hello. And this is happy chap is our little Nicky. (SOBS)
Come on, fella. Come in.
Can't you be a bit more welcoming?
I'm being polite, aren't I?
It's just a social visit.
I told you, all that... stuff with Bruce is behind me now.
He just said we should see more of each other, now we're both fathers.
Hey? Mwah!
Stop.
Here you go! Ah, about time. Grab those, mate. Thank you very much.
You know, I could almost go for this, mate.
You've got yourself a nice, steady life here, drowning in domestic bliss.
I wouldn't mind the pad in London, the champagne, the flash motors.
You know me, Ronnie, I have expensive tastes.
Ron, you have a visitor.
Peter! How are you, mate? Sit down, have a beer.
I won't, thanks. I can see you've got company.
I just popped by to give little Nicky this.
It's a replica of the first one I ever drove.
Nick, come and see what Uncle Peter's got for you.
Here you are, mate. What do you say? A new train. Thank you!
You're very welcome.
Aren't you going to introduce us?
Sorry, er... this is Peter.
I did some work for him. Peter, this is Bruce, a friend of mine.
Nice to meet you, Peter. So you're retired? Yeah.
What routes did you used to do?
I did the express trains.All over the country. Loved it.
Fascinating. It's a particular interest of mine, the railways.
Don't get me started on that.I could talk about that all night， can I？.
You certainly could,mate.
Anyway, I won't keep you.
Well, thanks very much, Peter.
'Ere, we'll try and go for a pint next week.
If you're buying.
You know that job I was telling you about?.
We need a train driver. Badly.
If you could tum him, I'd make it worth your while.
I don't know. Like I said, I'm out of it now.
And I've promised Charmian.
How much?
40 grand. Each.
40 grand?!
Like I said, it's a big job.
He'll have to be able to drive an English Electric Type 3000.
I'm sure he's said he's driven them all.
Is he bona?
He knows I've been inside. We got talking about it one day.
If he does come in, he stays in. No backing out. He'd know too much,
and some of the other gentlemen involved wouldn't take too kindly.
Yeah.
Same goes for you, Ron.
Lunch is ready.
Right-o.
There you are, mate.
Cheers.
What is it, lad? You're a bag of nerves tonight. Look at you.
I... It's the house.
We're being kicked out if I can't find this deposit.
I don't know, I just feel as if I'd let Charm and the boys down.
You can only do your best.
Anything else you got to leave to divine intervention.
What would you be prepared to do, Peter,
to get the money you needed to dig yourself out of a hole?
Depends how much money I needed and what I had to do to get it.
What about...
if it was 40 grand on offer?.
I'd be prepared to do quite a lot for that.
Even if it was wrong, this thing you had to do?
I've worked all my life, Ron, paid all my taxes, brought my kids up,
buried my Mum and Dad, and what did I get at the end of it?.
A gold watch and 15 bob a week pension. Huh.
If I had the chance to get my hands on that sort of dough,
I'd think about it very hard, mate. Very hard indeed.
You'll be away for your birthday.
We haven't spent a night apart since you got out of prison.
Well, it's only for a week, and we can celebrate when I get back.
I have no way of reaching you in Wiltshire.
And you don't know anything about tree felling. What if you get hurt?.
It'll be a nice few quid towards the deposit.
That house will be sold from under our feet before we get that deposit. Had a good enough look?
They're right in front of me!
I'm just teasing you.
You don't have to look. You don't have to give in to temptation every time.
Going to get a paper.
You got one this moming.
Aftemoon paper.
Ice creams for everybody, then.
Look.
I've won! Charm! Charm, I've won!
Look, I've won!
Won what?.
I had a little bet earlier. A double!
You did what?. We've got no money! Hold on.
The first horse came in at 5-1, it went on Dameon in the two-twenty and he came in at 10-1.
I've won!
How much?
500 quid. I've won 500 bloody quid!
That's enough for the deposit on the house!
Oh, thank you, Lord!
Now you won't need to go to Wiltshire.
I can't pull out now.
Don't be silly, just tell them you can't make it.
No, no, I can't do that, love.
You know, I've given them my word, haven't I?
Come on, let's go and find a pub and celebrate.
Here, I tell you what,
go out next week and get a new washing machine on tick.
What's that one you want?.
Bendix? Automatic?.
Go out and buy one, love. We can afford it.
I can't believe it!
The train leaves Glasgow at 6:50.
When it stops at Carlisle,
our man will be there to give it the once over.
We then call him from a phone box just up the road,
and he tells us if the load's big enough for the hit.
The bridge is only 30 minutes away,
and we're nicely out of the way, tucked back off the main road.
How's dad? I'm having a smashing time.
It's lovely out here in the country. Right.
On the way there we wear army fatigues on top,
so if we're stopped we say we're an army unit on exercise. Track side,
we strip down to the boiler suits and we look like workmen.
And this is home for the next two days.
Looks nice.
Don't get attached. It'll be bumt to the ground when we leave.
Charlie.
Bruce.
Gordon. Ugly to his mates.
Buster wants you.
I'll have mine rare, Bob.
Ah, Bruce...
Buster, you know Ron.
And this is his friend Peter, our train driver.
Nice to meet you, pop. Bruce, can I have a word, please?
It all looks very organised, Ron.
Not leaving anything to chance, are they?
No go.Our man says it ain't carrying enough tonight.
It's OK. We knew we might have to wait.
Tomorrow it is, then.
Come on, out you go. Wait there, please.
Nicky, stay with your brother.
Hello?
Jack's wife?
Winnie, yes, sorry, of course I remember. How are you both?
Oh dear.
I'm so sorry.
It's on. We go tonight.
It's taken on a load of extra mailbags at Carlisle.
It's a few hours till the train reaches Sears Crossing. Don't leave anything to chance. Right-o.
No knives, no guns. Good luck, boys.
Let's go, mate.
Yes,Ronald Biggs is his name.
His brother Jack has died. I'm trying to reach him to let him know.
Yes, that's right, he's on a tree felling job.
I don't have an exact address - just somewhere near Devizes.
Well, yeah, I rang my local police.
They told me to try Wiltshire Constabulary.
Yes, OK, thank you.
Yes, I'll let you know if he calls. Goodbye.
