05:14How is it complicated?
05:15He's no ghost for you, miss.

05:43I'm sorry, pet. Go on.
05:45It's all right. You'll see anyway.
05:48What do you mean?
05:50Nothing. You'll just see that I'm the one that loves you.
05:53Ardell, I know you do, and you're very special to me too.
05:57Sometimes grown-ups, we have to...
05:58I have to go home, miss. Bye.
06:07I would have taken you for lunch.
06:11What?
06:12I would have missed the football and taken you for lunch.
06:27Come on, woman.
06:29Always the friggin' last.
06:37Well, hello there.
06:45What can I do for you?
06:47Don't marry Miss Freddie.
06:48Come again?
06:50I'm telling you, you're not to marry Miss Freddie.
06:53And why's that then?
06:54Because she's mine.
06:57Well, that is a dilemma.
06:59Don't laugh at me.
07:01Sorry, pal, but you know, all's fair in love and warm.
07:04You know, she, uh, she told me you were just too short.
07:08She never said that.
07:09Yeah.
07:10And that you weren't financially stable enough to cater for her needs.
07:13She's a high maintenance lady, you know.
07:16I don't know what that means.
07:18Ha.
07:19You will, mate, you will.
07:20You talk, stupid.
07:23I don't know, don't be good now.
07:24Meet me in a duel.
07:26A what?
07:27A duel, just you and me.
07:29We're in the handball court.
07:31Tomorrow, after school.
07:32To the death.
07:38Okay.
07:40So, uh, what are we fighting with?
07:42Swords?
07:43Pistols?
07:44Conkers?
07:44Pistols.
07:46By Jove.
07:47It's a date, sir.
07:49See you there.
07:52And may the best man or boy win.
07:55What's tickled you?
08:03Oh, you gotta hear this.
08:04Come on.
08:25Come on.
08:29Oh, wait.
08:41Gotta see this.
08:42What?
08:43I have an appointment with death, remember?
08:46Oh, Lee, but don't be mean to him.
08:47Come on, I just want to see.
08:49You can stay here if you like.
08:50You can stay here if you like.
09:14I was beginning to think you wouldn't show.
09:28Where's your gun?
09:33Ah, I think I've forgotten it.
09:36Silly me, huh?
09:39That's not my problem.
09:42Suppose not.
09:44So then, where's your gun?
09:55That's not real.
09:57Yes, it is.
10:03What's going?
10:05Ardle, what are you doing?
10:08That's not...
10:10Now, don't point.
10:12It's not real, it's a toy, isn't it, son?
10:17It's not a toy.
10:21Ardle, put that down now.
10:25And where would you get a real?
10:26My dad's a guarder.
10:27Hang on, guards aren't armed.
10:34The emergency response unit are.
10:41You couldn't have told me about this.
10:44Jesus, now...
10:45Now, be careful, wee man.
10:47Just...
10:48Don't marry teacher.
10:49Just put that thing down and we can talk about it.
10:51Say you won't marry Miss Pardy.
10:53You don't deserve her.
10:55Why?
10:57You don't even know me.
10:58I know you're not good enough for her.
11:00Why?
11:01Because you're a dickhead.
11:02Ardle Travis.
11:03Sorry, miss.
11:10Are you just going to stand there
11:11and watch one of your second classes
11:13blow my head off?
11:14He won't.
11:15Have you not seen City Head God?
11:16Get a fucking cop or something.
11:18Stay there, miss.
11:26Ardle, please, put it down.
11:29I'm going to have to put it on your report.
11:32What will your mum and dad say?
11:33I told you I'd show you, miss.
11:37Now, listen to your teacher, son.
11:39Tell her you won't marry her.
11:41I'm not going to tell her that.
11:43Tell her!
11:44Oh, fuck.
11:46Just, just, just hold on there.
11:49Don't.
11:50Okay, okay, I can have her!
11:52I never wanted to marry her anyway.
11:54Excuse me?
11:55She moaned constantly about it.
11:56She did my head in.
11:58I thought putting a ring and a finger
11:59would shut her up for a while.
12:02I don't want to be married.
12:05Please, please.
12:07Ardle, Ardle.
12:09Please don't shoot me.
12:11Please.
12:12Get someone, you stupid bitch!
12:15To be continued...
12:45See you, miss.
12:57You dickhead.
13:03You little bastard!
13:05Come anywhere near him and I'll tell everyone that you're a kitty fiddler.
13:10Come on, Ardell.
13:15Come on, Ardell.
13:21Will this go on my report, miss?
13:24Maybe we'll keep this between ourselves,
13:26but maybe you should give me that for safekeeping.
13:30Oh, God, that's very realistic. Where did you get it?
13:33My dad is hiding it in his wardrobe for my birthday.
13:37Nice, isn't it?
13:39It's certainly very pretty. I'll just pop it in here for safekeeping.
13:46Oh.
13:48What's this?
13:49It's all right, miss. I've decided not to marry you after all.
13:52Oh, why's that?
13:54I'm not financially stable enough to cater for all your needs.
13:59And someone as nice as you should have everything she wants.
14:02Someday some girl's going to be very lucky.
14:06No, girls are stupid.
14:08Oh, we certainly can be.
14:10Come on, Romeo. I'll get you home.
14:11When love goes down the drain differently
14:14At the other side of the walls of me
14:17I still wait there, that's what I'll do
14:19And keep a spare seat for you

14:45And keep a spare seat for you
14:48I follow in vain around
14:59Your crumbling beauty
15:03Has a bridge been burned
15:07That draws the way home for me
15:10When love goes down the drain differently
15:13And keep a spare seat for you
15:17I still wait there, that's what I'll do
15:20And keep a spare seat for you
