Dave rushes up to her. They hug. Dave cries. A little boy. Hard man gone. They go slowly downstairs. Lights fade.

The flat: Ken sitting down, tipsy, with a bunch of flowers on his lap. ‘Folks who live on the hill’ playing. Ken sings along with it.

KEN

Fuckin’ foreigner. At the bar. Started pushin’ me. I asked him politely enough. ‘Oi, fucker, hold up will you?’ He took a swipe at me. (suddenly vulnerable) Han... Han... Her eyes. Miss ‘em...Voice. Sound of her coming in the door. Her nuttiness. Miss it. Too much time to think. Looking at meself. Grey, kind of thing. Useless. Redundant. Sound of her snoring. Even miss that. Way she coughs a little bit during the night. Way her nose goes. (desperate, pain) I need ya, Han. (controlled) No. (pain) I need ya darlin.’ (hard again) I blocked it with me left and clumped him with me right. Like the old days. Still pretty fit. So he’s on the deck. ‘Had enough, boy?’ ‘Yeah’, he goes. Well it ain’t right to go on. Not like the kids now. Booting someone when he’s on the deck. Having people over from behind with blades and all that. Like that Dave. Reckons he’s the real hard man. We could have shown him a thing or two. The Bermondsey boys. Now they were hard. Cruel but fair. There was Johnny the head case, Sam and Joe the blade brothers, Frank, the one-eyed Irishman with a right so hard they had him deported. Yeah. Good geezers. We had a code. There were rules of the game. Now they’ve all gone fucking mad. You could go out of a day – leave the door open – nothing got nicked. You never nicked from one of your own. Now they don’t give a fuck for no one. No one.
