Permissive

I'm looking for Fiona. Is she here?

And I thought you'd come looking for me. Come on.

She's in there. Go on in.

- Suzy, are you there? - Yeah.

Why don't you come in?

- He's a bit hairy. - Hey, would you like to meet the group?

Couldn't I say hello later?

- How long have you been in town? - Just arrived.

Do you think you can make your way to the Pit Club tonight?

You got out of the bed then?

- Hello. - What did you come like that for?

I thought you'd go back and change. Haven't you got anything better?

I didn't know you'd be getting dressed up.

Anyway, I haven't got anything else except a clean jumper.

Oh, Jesus, you'd better come with me.

Don't you ever get sick?

Keep your hair on, are you frightened I'll eat him?

Piss off.

Come take your clothes off.

What's the matter? They're girls.

If I had tits like yours I wouldn't flash 'em about neither.

Look, leave her alone. Here put this on.

- Whose is it? - I don't know. Doesn't matter.

She'll been doing some pulling, I expect.

- What did she mean about pulling? - It's just an expression.

She's probably frightened one of the group will fancy you.

I just don't understand. Why should I want one of them?

Don't you know how many girls would give their right arm

to ball it with one of Forever More?

These girls are trying to pull the group. To get off with them.

- Is that what you do? - I did.

But I don't, now.

Somehow I just seemed to get involved with Lee. He likes me.

I've been hung up on him a long time.

- Do you live with him? - Yes.

I was hoping, I could stay with you, for the time being.

Till I find a place of my own.

I thought you have a place. Why didn't you say something this morning?

I didn't like to.

Well, you can come back to the hotel.

There's plenty of room there.

- What's she doing here? - Slumming.

- Can I get you anything? - No, thanks.

Look, can't you see he's uptight? Why don't you leave him alone?

Keep your hair on. Are you frightened I'll eat him?

Piss off.

- You played me. - What was that?

It's a wild scene, isn't it? There's a lot of love in this room.

Come on. Get out of it.

- Why do you bother? - How do you mean?

Surely it's easier to smoke readymade ones.

Oh, sure, but these are special.

At least, it stops me getting uptight with these freeloaders hanging around.

Why don't you just tell them to go?

Nothing to do with me. I can't say anything.

Hey, come on.

Who are all those people?

I don't know. They make me sick.

They just come and use as if they own the place.

Here.

You know, I don't really like you in that shirt.

Tell you what, I'll find you a dress.

Do you like this one? Try it on anyway.

I'm going to have a bath.

Okay.

- Come on. Get in. - Don't be silly.

Well, you'll have to get in now, won't you?

Come on, hurry up.

Hey, what's taking you so long?

It's these!

Fiona...

What does Mn“ do'?

Nothing much. He's the road manager.

They're all no-talent bums.

He's supposed to see that everything is organised for the group,

when they go on a gig.

He's meant to see that people like those out there are kept away.

Why, do you fancy him?

- He seemed quite nice. - Well, he's a creep.

- Have you seen Fiona? - She's in there.

Thank you.

- What's the matter with you? - Nothing.

You look sad.

- What, for a job, you mean? - Yeah.

I don't.

Unless you can call looking after Lee a job.

Well, how do you look after him?

Well, you see, sometimes, when they go on a gig,

they have to stay in an ordinary house.

Some of the hotels won't let them in.

I do a bit of washing, bit of cooking, lots of loving...

I'm sorry, love. She only arrived in town this morning.

- I'm sorry. Did I wake you? - No, man.

You just interrupted the meditations.

Join me.

We could make a beautiful thing.

- Man does not live by bread alone. - Maybe not, but I'm starving.

I'll feed you.

Follow me.

- Where are we going? - Thought you were hungry, man?

- I am, but... - Then I'll provide.

Like the Great Maker.

- What's your name? - Pogo.

- Your real name. - That's it, man.

Why do we have to leave the hotel, to get some food?

We have to go where it's at.

Why do we have to come all this way?

Man, do you think hotels let you in with a pack on your back?

I have enough trouble just getting in.

- Do you always carry that guitar? - I thought it was yours, man.

- That's why I picked it up. - Doesn't belong to me.

We'd better take it back.

The Lord moves in a mysterious way, man.

- Do you sing? - No, but I'm going to learn.

- I don't know that I'm that hungry. - Go ahead, man, eat it, it's good.

- It's not bad. - Want some coffee?

Got any money?

- Where do you live, Pogo? - Under the stars, man.

The world's my scene.

Have you seen Onnie?

Come on, give us this day our daily bounce, laddie, up.

Aren't you getting ready then?

I feel lazy.

All right, let's hurry it up then. Got to get out.

Can I have one?

What's that noise?

They're going on a gig, up north, somewhere.

- You'd better get dressed. - Will they mind me coming along?

No, I shouldn't think so.

Jesus, thought you lot had cleared out hours ago. Come on.

Pig.

- Come on. We haven't got all day. - Drop dead.

- My gear's over there. - Look, Lady Muck,

you take your own things down. I've got enough arranging to do.

What's eating you?

What the hell's she doing here?

Get her out before I throw her out.

Hey, I told her she could come. She can, can't she?

Since when have you been running the show?

Well, I thought it'd be all right. You like her, don't you?

Like her?

Well, it didn't look like a hate-in you were having last night.

Get this into your skull. She's not coming.

That makes me look a right cow, doesn't it?

Well...

- You heard? - Yeah.

There isn't anything I can do. I don't really know what to say.

I thought he liked me. I thought he was marvellous.

Till he left me lying on the floor.

I know.

He just gets a bit funny sometimes. You have to ignore him.

What am I gonna do?

I don't know. Haven't you got anywhere to go?

I can find somewhere.

Hey, I tell you what. A friend of mine's arriving tonight.

Her group's playing at The Pit. They always follow up Forever More.

You could talk to her.

What can she do?

Well, you could probably stay around at her place till next Tuesday

when we get back.

That'll give me a chance to sort out that bastard.

Can I take the things you gave me?

Of course, you can.

Hey, we'll be staying at the Royalton Hotel next week.

So, you better come there. Okay?

- Do you know where I can find Lacy? - That bitch.

Lacy?

Hey, look what the wind blew in. Friend of yours?

Thanks, sweetheart.

Okay.

- Do I know you? - No. Fiona's a friend of mine.

- How is she? - She's fine. She's just gone up north...

Spare me the details.

Maybe I shouldn't have come.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be nasty. It's just she screws me up. Come on.

Fiona thought maybe I could stay with you for a few days.

Till she gets back.

- When's that? - Next Tuesday.

I don't see why not.

- You been on the scene long? - I've only been in London two days.

Who is she?

- Where have you been all my life? - Stop fooling around.

Take no notice of him, Suzy.

Suzy? Nice name, Suzy.

You really like that scrub look?

You're not kidding.

Well, drink her in. She's just leaving.

- I thought you said I could stay. - You must have been dreaming.

The sooner you get out of here, the better. Who let you in anyway?

- I just came. - Well, now you're just leaving.

Fuck off!

Keep your cool.

We shouldn't be in here, Pogo.

Why not, man? There's no charge for admission.

This is my home, man.

Where are you going?

I called upon the Lord and cried unto my God.

He heard my voice and my cry came before Him.

But God is uptight, man.

He sees the ways of the world.
