Quotes 

• Father : What's this rubbish, then?

  Jimmy : [watching The Who on TV]  Ready Steady Go!

  Father : Ready what?

  Jimmy : Ready Steady Go!

  Father : Ready Steady Go? Bunch of louts. Bloody moron. I suppose they wear wet jeans n'all, do they? Hey? What? What? Is that how you're supposed to play a guitar now, then? Hey? Oh, gawd help us. Here, have you seen this?

  Mother : I haven't got time for all that rubbish.

  Father : I can sing better than that little ape. You call that singing? Sounds like a drowned dog. That'll make you deaf, you know.

• Mother : Drugs and filthy pictures! Running riot everywhere! You're a little animal, you are. You wanna be locked up! I've done my best, look what I've got for it! A bloody mad thing! You're a little savage! Get out of my house! Go on! Get out!

  Jimmy : All right.

  Mother : You're no son of mine!
