Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon You come and go You come and go oh, oh, oh Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams Red, gold and green Red, gold and green ♪ How long have you been there? Long enough to know your ex was talking out of his bum hole last night. Paddy was just showing off. He didn't mean any of it. It still hurt. He used to love my singing. Said I had the voice of an angel. Why care what he thinks? Can't just stop the habit of a lifetime. I really think you should enter the show. No. Nana's saving all her songs for her new man. You have the luxury of showing Micky the door. Not so easy for family. Did he say why I kicked him out? Nope. And seeing him with that face and those bin bags didn't put me in a talky mood. Jock's a good man, Paddy. He can't do enough for kids around here, and he lives for that boxing club. You know nothing about that two-faced ***. Just give him another week. A week?! I could give him a lifetime, and he'd still default. He's *** with money, but he always spends his way out of trouble. Now, does that seem sensible? No, it's naive. He's out of his depth. Tell him I'll be round tomorrow, with a van, to gut the place. MOBILE PHONE BUZZING Don't be mad. Don't shout at me. Hiya, Dad, how's it going? Why's your phone been off, numpty?

He said I could pay him back when it was good for me. Mates rates. That man's always promised me the earth and then let me down. He said you've got form for throwing money at problems. This gym always comes first. Paddy Maguire was my great hope. He was raw, but as tough as I've ever seen. He just couldn't be tamed. His father had just died. He wanted to fight the world, go out in a blaze of glory, just like him. And I took that anger and I showed him how to use it, and I made him believe. But he didn't want to be a fighter. He just wanted to be feared. I know exactly what I'm up against, son. Hey, Ches! Hey, hey, hey, all right, all right. Jock, Ricky Hatton, you still in touch? Sure, yeah, yeah. Get him to make an appearance! We'll sell tickets and clear your debt. I, I can't ask him to do that. The lad's got too many commitments. Jock, stuff pride! Paddy's going to clear this place out. Call the Hitman. I'll do the rest. Liam, One last piece with your name on it. I'm wasting away! Yeah! Wait, wait. What can I do? You're trying too hard to be liked. Nothing kids hate more.

Meaning, Liam's seen it all before. It's all about trust, yeah? I've had to earn it, time and again. Nobody trusts you. How do I make that happen? Just stick around. Just be there for him. Come on, come on! Give it up, son. You'll never make it. Oh! That's it! OK. Head right. Head right. ALL: Head right. Extend the ladder. Well done, Maguire. Let's go. Great stuff there, that's it. Bring your giro money, cos we'll be raffling off fight memorabilia. How much would you say you loved me? You want keep going a bit more there, pal.

Making me look stupid, in front of all these people? I'm your son. Beat my drum, Dad, don't beat me into the *** ground. Take your foot off me head. Have you any idea how much that hurts? Every time you put me down I bleed. I've got *** scars on top of scars, me. How am I meant to deal with that, eh, Dad? Be a man and deal with it. Get him another drink. You'll pass next time. Who says I failed? I'm going to be a fireman. But you'll always be a bitter ***. Deal with that! Different class, Libby. Proud to call that breakfast English. First for you, not burning the rashers. You need to cut Libby some slack, pal. Come on, do it for me. I'd appreciate it. She's *** broody, isn't she? That's disgusting. All right, easy! Listen, I'm with you. I just think that if you were a bit more accepting, she wouldn't be as needy. Libby. My guitar. Would you like a lift to school? Would you like a lift to school? In a *** ice-cream van?! I'll walk him in. Oh, the escort girl? I could always give it a miss? No way! No *** danger! OK, Liam. Apart from jibbing school, what would you prefer? I'll go on my own. It's my problem. Maybe they'll get bored and give up. Get on. I'll give you a backy. Get on. I'll give you a backy. Then what, another kicking? I'm trying to make up for that. Hurry. Put your hands round me. Liam I don't want a ***. You'll fall off otherwise. Just don't get your hopes up! Just don't get your hopes up! It's not my hopes you need to worry about. BOYS SHOU Left. Down a bit your end, lan. Lower, lower. Lower, lower. What you trying to say?! What you trying to say?! It's ***. You fetch the punters in and leave the look to me. Oi, you putting this up or what? Fancy a ***, skinny boy?

I've always got your back, bruv. Look, we're here for you, Chesney. Any time. He had no right having a go at me. I've never stood in the way of any of my kids. Never encouraged them either. Stopped supporting altogether. D'you even know the meaning of family any more? There's benefits to having a fireman in the family, though. We'll pass the health and safety every time. Bit rich, hitting me with the family stick when you *** off and we were all over the place. Fine. Let's get together later, the lot of us, and you can watch me *** a song in the talent show. That sound good? Right. D'you want the bad news or the bad news? Right. D'you want the bad news or the bad news? Don't start, Micky. Go on, son. Give us your assessment. As your appointed Fire Safety Officer, it is my duty to highlight hazards and make recommendations. Such as? Closing down. The place is a death-trap. You need to act now or there will be casualties. You what? Right. You've just been promoted to Talent Show Superintendent. Fix the problems, monitor the acts tonight and then we'll, um We'll get you a new tabard. You've only gone and done it, champ. Let's wait till the real star shows up, eh? Ricky's the ultimate showman. He'll be building anticipation. I just hope he feels at home in his Hatton Wonderland. I'll check on Jock. He's a bag of *** nerves back there. Good job you're on the money, eh? All right, Joe? Hatton! Hatton! (CROWD CHANT) Hatton! Hatton! "You're such a chancer. Just staying one step ahead of everyone else, Karen. Life's all about making the most of your opportunities. But how far are you prepared to go, Joe? You'd take Ricky Hatton? You'd take Ricky Hatton? He'd kill you, one punch. I'm saying, if we met down an alley while he was in between fights ***, ***, ***! I don't think he'd live with my lightning jab. Undefeated in the ring. Undefeated in the ring. You got sparked out, your last fight. For money. If Paddy Maguire says to take a dive, you hit the deck. Why don't you show this lot that jab?

Gobshite's been spinning that story since. That's rubbish. I drank with the boy. Got him a pint to ask to name the gym after him, the *** user. What were you thinking, Jock? Why did you let me go through with it? I didn't know it was going to get like this, did I? All this press and the radio. And you were so up to it, and you'd been so supportive. I didn't have it in me to let you down! I didn't have it in me to let you down! ***! You don't care about him. It's only ever about you, you pathetic *** traitor. Paddy, no! Leave him! No!

There'll only ever be one winner. Says the trainee fireman? APPLAUSE They're rubbish compared to you. Popular, though. We all loved Feral. Give them some competition. Make yourself popular. If I did it my way, I'd get destroyed. Crap. It's OK to dance differently. But what did the judges think? A trillion percent yes! That's what this competition is all about. Thank you, Patty. Just be who you are. OK, here is Flame Phil. Woo-ha! Was it good, then? Making Jock suffer? Why even give him a loan if you hate his guts and knew he'd default on it? Lan, how do you think lenders make money? By making a *** killing out of failure. Yeah, well, you'd know all about that, wouldn't you? Sorry? You enjoy watching people *** up. You pick on them till they do. I think you do it to feel better about yourself. Walk away, lan. While you can. How much for that boxing gear? What? What? I'll buy it back off ya. Let it go, son. You don't have that kind of money. A grand. It's worth treble. It's worth treble. And it's used. 1,500. Why the *** are you doing this? I want to keep the boxing club open. It might not have suited you, but it's been good to me. Is that what you heard? Is that what Jock told you - it didn't suit me? Yeah. Cos you never wanted to fight fair. You'll be pouring it down the drain. That club's jinxed. (AUDIENCE) Woo! Jock doesn't deserve a *** lifeline. I'm not doing it for him. I'm doing it for lads like me.

Even your bloody dad! Why? He's rubbish at everything. And as soon as you realise that, you'll leave. And as soon as you realise that, you'll leave. I won't. I know what I've bought into.
