- I know, I know...I've heard all this before!
- I'm sorry, dear...I'll come and help you.
- Stanley, you used to be the best footballer in England. Are you
going to come back and play again?
- Oh, no...no, I'm not.
- Why not?
- Well, football used to be the most important thing in my
life...but it isn’t any more. For ten years I used to practice every day.
I never used to smoke, drink, or stay up late.
- Why has your life changed, Stanley?
- Well, I was poor then, but I'm not now. I don’t need to play
football any more!
- Dad?
- Yes…
- There’s a good film on in town.
- Oh, yes… What is it?
- War in Space.
- Are you going to see it?
- I’d like to...all my friends are going...but I haven’t got any
money.
- All right, all right. How much do you want?
- Three pounds.
- Three pounds! When I was your age, I only used to pay five
pence for the cinema.
- That was a long time ago, Dad.
- Yes, but my father used to earn three pounds for a week's
work!
