Blinded by the Light (2019)

1
00:01:00,625 --> 00:01:02,458
<i>September 1980.</i>

2
00:01:03,333 --> 00:01:06,166
<i>My best friend Matt and I
have the same birthday.</i>

3
00:01:06,250 --> 00:01:07,875
<i>He got a brand-new chopper bike.</i>

4
00:01:08,375 --> 00:01:10,833
<i>It's really fast and looks so cool.</i>

5
00:01:13,666 --> 00:01:15,083
<i>I got a Rubik's Cube.</i>

6
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,416
<i>But Matt gave me this diary
that he didn't want.</i>

7
00:01:19,208 --> 00:01:21,500
<i>And I'm going to write in it every day.</i>

8
00:01:24,750 --> 00:01:28,208
<i>The Russians have been
in Afghanistan for 363 days.</i>

9
00:01:29,291 --> 00:01:32,166
<i>"Baggy Trousers" by Madness
is my favorite song.</i>

10
00:01:37,208 --> 00:01:40,208
Matt.
I can't wait to go to London together.

11
00:01:40,583 --> 00:01:42,166
Look at all the people going there.

12
00:01:42,708 --> 00:01:43,708
Yeah.

13
00:01:44,125 --> 00:01:46,500
They wanna come up
the motorway at Luton.

14
00:01:47,083 --> 00:01:48,541
- Come on.
- Yeah.

15
00:01:53,875 --> 00:01:54,875
Hop on.

16
00:01:56,708 --> 00:01:57,875
- You're on?
- Yeah.

17
00:01:57,958 --> 00:01:59,666
- Let's go.
- Whoo-hoo!

18
00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:02,000
- This is brilliant, Matt!
- Whoo-hoo!

19
00:02:02,208 --> 00:02:04,208
We're gonna be best friends forever!

20
00:02:10,208 --> 00:02:11,608
Coronation chicken next week.

21
00:02:11,833 --> 00:02:14,073
Great. Nice one. Thanks.
Yeah, I'll see you later. Javed.

22
00:02:14,125 --> 00:02:15,291
There you go, Javed, son.

23
00:02:15,875 --> 00:02:17,666
<i>Goodbye, cheese and pickle.</i>

24
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:19,791
<i>My summer job is done!</i>

25
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,416
<i>The Cold War rages on.</i>

26
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,291
<i>Reagan and Thatcher are still number one.</i>

27
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,083
<i>But I'm stuck in Luton, one of the herd,</i>

28
00:02:27,291 --> 00:02:29,708
<i>no fun, freedom or future.</i>

29
00:02:29,791 --> 00:02:32,625

J!

46
00:03:47,625 --> 00:03:49,541
You muppet.

47
00:03:49,625 --> 00:03:52,000
- How was Ibiza?
- Oh, mate, wicked.

48
00:03:52,083 --> 00:03:54,625
Met Emma over there.
She's from St. Albans.

49
00:03:54,708 --> 00:03:56,750
- Works in HMV.
- All right?

50
00:03:58,125 --> 00:03:59,165
All right?

51
00:04:00,166 --> 00:04:01,601
I just finished work.

52
00:04:01,625 --> 00:04:03,791
I'm writing you a new song for your band.

53
00:04:03,958 --> 00:04:06,916
- It's about the Cold War.
- Javed writes all the time.

54
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,041
You know? Like, diaries, poems.

55
00:04:10,416 --> 00:04:12,416
He even wrote one about Bo Derek once.

56
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:14,166
And he sent it to her.

57
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:16,184
And I wrote some of your best essays, too.
Remember?

58
00:04:16,208 --> 00:04:18,000
Yeah.

59
00:04:18,083 --> 00:04:20,476
Pet Shop Boys got
the best number one this year so far.

60
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:22,041
I told you, mate. Listen.

61
00:04:22,416 --> 00:04:24,833
Synths are the future.

62
00:04:24,916 --> 00:04:27,125
Anyway...

63
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:29,166
happy birthday, mate.

64
00:04:30,333 --> 00:04:32,041
Got it at the airport. You know?

65
00:04:32,125 --> 00:04:34,583
It's a fertility symbol
from the Balearics.

66
00:04:35,583 --> 00:04:36,708
Thanks.

67
00:04:37,083 --> 00:04:38,625
You know, I thought it might, er...

68
00:04:39,541 --> 00:04:41,166
help you pick up a bird one day, maybe.

69
00:04:42,625 --> 00:04:44,875
- He's never had a girlfriend before, so...
- Hey?

70
00:04:45,541 --> 00:04:46,741
Is that against your religion?

71
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:48,166
No.

72
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:49,500
Thanks, Matt.

73
00:04:49,750 --> 00:04:51,500
- I'll see you later, mate.
- See you later.

74
00:04:53,166 --> 00:04:54,583
He's missing out.

75
00:04:56,625 --> 00:05:00,791
What are they doing?

76
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,708
Oh, my God!

77
00:05:13,791 --> 00:05:15,726
How can you be friends with that boy?

78
00:05:15,750 --> 00:05:18,500
No shame at all.

79
00:05:19,083 --> 00:05:22,250
I didn't move out of Bury Park
to see this.

80
00:05:22,791 --> 00:05:25,750
You should tell him this is very bad.

81
00:05:26,166 --> 00:05:28,541
Very bad behavior
in a good neighborhood.

82
00:05:28,625 --> 00:05:30,583
Dad, he's English.

83
00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:33,533
Your sister's coming.

84
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:35,125
Get the shopping out of the car.

85
00:05:40,583 --> 00:05:41,750
Matt's back, then?

86
00:05:42,291 --> 00:05:45,125
He's torturing me with his perfect life.

87
00:05:45,208 --> 00:05:47,128
Go on, my son!

88
00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:50,250
All right, J?

89
00:05:51,625 --> 00:05:54,750
I taught him all he knows.
All the moves.

90
00:05:58,416 --> 00:06:00,496
Very nice to meet you, Princess Emma.

91
00:06:00,541 --> 00:06:04,166
There you go, sweetheart...
19 pounds... 50 pence.

92
00:06:04,541 --> 00:06:07,250
I'll drop another 30 dresses
off to you tomorrow morning.

93
00:06:07,625 --> 00:06:10,625
Oh! Lucky you,
having such a helpful family.

94
00:06:10,708 --> 00:06:12,125
Look at this! Oh!

95
00:06:12,208 --> 00:06:14,541
My kids treat my place like a hotel.

96
00:06:14,625 --> 00:06:15,541
I'll tell you something,

97
00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:17,825
you've done something right,
turning kids out like that.

98
00:06:17,875 --> 00:06:19,750
- Ta, sweetheart.
- Goodbye.

99
00:06:25,625 --> 00:06:26,750
Javed.

100
00:06:43,083 --> 00:06:45,208
<i>September 3rd, 1987.</i>

101
00:06:46,083 --> 00:06:48,625
<i>My dad is stuck in another century.</i>

102
00:06:49,083 --> 00:06:51,750
<i>He treats me like I'm six, not sixteen.</i>

103
00:06:51,833 --> 00:06:53,958
Javed, <i>beta</i>, come!

104
00:06:54,041 --> 00:06:56,666
We're ready for your party.

105
00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:59,208
Oh. He's coming.

106
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,375
Happy birthday.

107
00:07:18,541 --> 00:07:22,250
Time to smarten up. You're not a kid
anymore, Javed.

108
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,875
Thanks... girls.

109
00:07:29,083 --> 00:07:30,625
Not girls. Sisters.

110
00:07:31,125 --> 00:07:33,125
Come on. Let's light the candle.

111
00:07:35,125 --> 00:07:36,416
Yasmeen, photo.

112
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:39,791
Say cheese.

113
00:07:43,125 --> 00:07:44,416
Make a wish, <i>beta</i>.

114
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,041
<i>Make loads of money, kiss a girl,
get out of this dump.</i>

115
00:07:52,666 --> 00:07:55,541
You were supposed to be
writing a pop song.

116
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,041
Who writes songs about nuclear war
and Thatcher, anyway?

117
00:07:59,625 --> 00:08:01,500
You write about depressing things.

118
00:08:01,875 --> 00:08:05,375
Like, you haven't got any money,
or you can't watch Rocky on telly.

119
00:08:05,458 --> 00:08:08,125
That's not true. I write
about politics and Reaganomics...

120
00:08:08,208 --> 00:08:10,166
Oh, Javed. Javed, Javed.

121
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:14,000
You spent four years, mate,
going on about your bloody dad

122
00:08:14,083 --> 00:08:17,916
who wouldn't let you have
an Acorn Electron with a 32-kilobyte RAM.

123
00:08:18,375 --> 00:08:19,791
It also had a 32-kilobyte ROM.

124
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:22,083
Yeah, well, I can't really sing
about you and your dad.

125
00:08:23,208 --> 00:08:24,208
Can I?

126
00:08:29,708 --> 00:08:31,583
Is he making you do A Levels as well?

127
00:08:31,666 --> 00:08:33,458
No. I'm doing it for me.

128
00:08:33,541 --> 00:08:35,083
I want to go to college.

129
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:37,125
Getting good A Levels

130
00:08:37,375 --> 00:08:39,041
will get me into university.

131
00:08:39,833 --> 00:08:42,041
That's my only ticket out of here, mate.

132
00:08:47,625 --> 00:08:50,333
It's 4:00 a.m. in New York,
4:00 p.m. in Tokyo

133
00:08:50,416 --> 00:08:52,583
and 9:00 a.m. right here in Luton.

134
00:08:52,666 --> 00:08:54,208
You're listening to Radio Luton,

135
00:08:54,791 --> 00:08:57,291
<i>the official radio station
for Luton Sixth Form College.</i>

136
00:08:57,583 --> 00:09:00,708
I'm Colin Hand,
the hand that rocks the turntable,

137
00:09:00,791 --> 00:09:04,750
with the first lesson of a new year
and the subject, "Lessons in Love."

Start at the top and stay there.

141
00:09:13,333 --> 00:09:17,208
Study hard, so you don't have to work
in a factory like me all your life.

142
00:09:17,458 --> 00:09:18,750
Yes, Dad.

143
00:09:18,833 --> 00:09:23,208
If you want to succeed,
look for the Jews in your class.

144
00:09:23,875 --> 00:09:27,125
Do what the Jews do.
They're very successful people.

145
00:09:28,166 --> 00:09:29,500
I think that's a bit racist, Dad.

146
00:09:29,833 --> 00:09:30,833
It's the truth.

147
00:09:32,083 --> 00:09:34,458
Oh, hi!

148
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:38,125
Hey. You're here to study, OK?

149
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,333
I'll find you a wife in good time.
You leave that to me.

150
00:09:47,291 --> 00:09:48,625
And remember...

151
00:09:48,708 --> 00:09:51,208
stay away from the girls!

152
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:54,583

00:09:55,541 --> 00:09:56,750

- Whose boss?
- The boss of us all.

166
00:11:06,416 --> 00:11:08,416
I'm really late. I missed the bus.

167
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:10,333
I wasn't sure
about the route either.

168
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:11,625
Right. Everyone in?

169
00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:15,916
My name is Miss Clay,

170
00:11:16,416 --> 00:11:19,666
and I want to know why you're here.

171
00:11:22,541 --> 00:11:23,625
Anybody?

172
00:11:24,083 --> 00:11:25,750
To pass me exams, miss.

173
00:11:26,041 --> 00:11:27,416
Well, thanks to Maggie Thatcher,

174
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:29,380
even if you do pass your exams
and get a degree,

175
00:11:29,416 --> 00:11:31,083
there'll be few jobs waiting for you.

176
00:11:31,166 --> 00:11:33,875
So, what I want to make this class about

177
00:11:33,958 --> 00:11:36,583
is figuring out where you stand.

178
00:11:37,250 --> 00:11:38,291
What you think.

179
00:11:38,958 --> 00:11:42,541
The writers that we'll be studying
this year are immortal.

180
00:11:43,208 --> 00:11:46,250
Their themes are universal.
Shakespeare, Dickens, Woolf.

181
00:11:46,708 --> 00:11:49,708
Who here... wants to live forever,

182
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:51,916
like them?

183
00:11:53,083 --> 00:11:54,625
Who here wants to be a writer?

184
00:12:02,458 --> 00:12:03,625
Miss Clay?

185
00:12:04,208 --> 00:12:06,500
- Yes... erm...?
- Er, Eliza.

186
00:12:07,125 --> 00:12:11,125
Isn't the job of a writer to...
make a difference?

187
00:12:11,375 --> 00:12:14,041
- You know, to change the world?
- Yes. Yes, that's a start.

188
00:12:14,375 --> 00:12:16,291
The writers I admire make a difference.

189
00:12:16,541 --> 00:12:20,250
They tell the world
something that it needs to hear.

190
00:12:34,375 --> 00:12:35,583
What's your name again?

191
00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:38,541
Javed.

192
00:12:38,625 --> 00:12:41,291
Javed, you put your hand up earlier,
and then you put it down.

193
00:12:42,708 --> 00:12:43,708
Um...

194
00:12:44,375 --> 00:12:45,458
Miss Clay...

195
00:12:46,541 --> 00:12:49,208
I've been writing poems and a diary
since I was about ten.

196
00:12:51,958 --> 00:12:53,541
But it's really not that interesting.

197
00:12:54,291 --> 00:12:55,416
Then why do you do it?

198
00:12:57,208 --> 00:12:58,250
I don't know.

199
00:12:59,041 --> 00:13:00,708
To put down my thoughts, I guess.

200
00:13:01,250 --> 00:13:04,958
You see, in my house,
no one's allowed opinions except my dad.

201
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:14,660
- What would you like, love?
- Chips and beans, please.

202
00:13:19,041 --> 00:13:20,500
- There you go, love.
- Thank you.

All right?

218
00:14:23,041 --> 00:14:24,083
What are you writing?

219
00:14:25,208 --> 00:14:26,291
Nothing.

220
00:14:26,666 --> 00:14:29,250
An essay? Already?

221
00:14:30,208 --> 00:14:32,125
- Are you a swot or something?
- No.

222
00:14:32,708 --> 00:14:33,708
Just a diary.

223
00:14:36,916 --> 00:14:39,208
So... tell me about the Boss.

224
00:14:41,041 --> 00:14:44,250
Bruce is the direct line
to all that's true in this shitty world.

225
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,833
- Seriously?
- Mm.

226
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:49,208
What does he know about our world?

227
00:14:58,666 --> 00:15:00,208
Guard these with your life, yeah?

228
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:02,708
You can thank me later.

229
00:15:24,833 --> 00:15:26,458
<i>A boy spat at me today...</i>

230
00:15:26,833 --> 00:15:28,833

00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,375

235
00:15:41,166 --> 00:15:43,500

<i>You're better than this.</i>

238
00:15:53,916 --> 00:15:56,250
- Where's Matt?
- He's a bit... busy.

239
00:15:56,333 --> 00:15:57,375
Emma!

240
00:15:57,458 --> 00:16:00,458
Why are you answering the door
just wearing that?

241
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:04,708
- You all right, mate?
- Yeah.

242
00:16:10,333 --> 00:16:12,375
Uh... Got my lyrics, then?

243
00:16:13,250 --> 00:16:15,458
That's what I came round to say.
I'm working on it.

244
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:18,291
Ah. You still coming to my party tonight?

245
00:16:18,833 --> 00:16:21,083
- Yeah, of course.
- Good.

246
00:16:21,541 --> 00:16:22,666
Emma's mates are coming,

247
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,416
and I know one
who would be perfect for you.

248
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:28,208
- She's not fussy.
- Really?

249
00:16:28,541 --> 00:16:30,375
- Yeah.
- Cheers.

250
00:16:30,458 --> 00:16:31,958
I promise this time I'll come.

251
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:34,208
How many times I have to tell you?

252
00:16:34,833 --> 00:16:37,166
Pakistanis do not go to parties.

253
00:16:37,625 --> 00:16:38,958
I thought I was British.

254
00:16:39,416 --> 00:16:41,791
You do not know this country
like I do, huh?

255
00:16:42,125 --> 00:16:43,333
Do you remember Enoch Powell?

256
00:16:44,708 --> 00:16:46,028
They will never accept you, <i>beta</i>.

257
00:16:46,541 --> 00:16:48,083
Matt accepts me.

258
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:50,833
Listen to me. You're very lucky.

259
00:16:51,708 --> 00:16:53,333
You will always be Pakistani.

260
00:16:53,833 --> 00:16:55,208
You will never be British.

Let's go!

273
00:18:32,083 --> 00:18:33,750
Great neighborhood, Mr. Shah.

274
00:18:34,458 --> 00:18:38,041
We are the first Pakistanis
on this street.

275
00:18:38,416 --> 00:18:41,267
Remember when we came in the '70s?

276
00:18:41,291 --> 00:18:43,875
- Luton was a good town then.
- Ah.

277
00:18:45,416 --> 00:18:47,791
Today, there are too many Pakistanis.

278
00:18:56,875 --> 00:18:59,625
I need your help again
for a new mortgage application.

279
00:19:00,250 --> 00:19:01,583
This is next door?

280
00:19:01,875 --> 00:19:04,916
It's for my eldest.
He's getting married soon.

281
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,208
Oh! Congratulations. Mubarak, Mr. Shah!

282
00:19:09,875 --> 00:19:11,083
He doesn't know it yet.

283
00:19:12,041 --> 00:19:14,291
But he's a good boy. He does what I say.

284
00:19:14,375 --> 00:19:16,041
Ah. Did you hear that?

285
00:19:18,541 --> 00:19:21,416
Dear, get samosa for Mr. Malik

286
00:19:21,791 --> 00:19:24,166
and for Javed... Well done.

287
00:19:24,250 --> 00:19:26,170
- Let's do the Paki house.
- Thank you, <i>ji</i>.

288
00:19:26,208 --> 00:19:29,125
- Eh! What are you doing?
- He's doing a wee-wee.

289
00:19:29,208 --> 00:19:31,458
Aim it down on the carpet.

290
00:19:31,541 --> 00:19:34,541
- Hooligan boy.
- It's a wee-wee delivery.

291
00:19:34,625 --> 00:19:36,684
Pissing on the Pakis!

292
00:19:36,708 --> 00:19:39,101
- What is happening here?
- Wee-wee, all on my carpet.

293
00:19:39,125 --> 00:19:41,059
Clean it quickly, come on. Quickly.

294
00:19:41,083 --> 00:19:43,416
- Please.
- Just the young kids are just playing.

295
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:45,875
Smelly, smelly Pakis!

296
00:19:45,958 --> 00:19:48,166
It's OK.
That's why we have this plastic here.

297
00:19:48,250 --> 00:19:50,875
I cleaned your floor for you.

298
00:19:50,958 --> 00:19:52,226
Don't let the wee
go on the carpet.

299
00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:53,458
Pakis!

300
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Javed.

301
00:20:13,625 --> 00:20:14,985
Not what you expected?

302
00:20:16,041 --> 00:20:17,666
This is your third essay for me.

303
00:20:19,583 --> 00:20:22,375
- I'm beginning to understand you and...
- I write poems too, Miss.

304
00:20:23,083 --> 00:20:24,976
That's why I thought
I understood the assignment.

305
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,240
That brief section about
the Indian soldiers missing home

306
00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:29,430
and cooking their own food
in the trenches,

307
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:30,875
<i>that</i> was amazing.

308
00:20:31,458 --> 00:20:32,708
That was your voice.

309
00:20:33,041 --> 00:20:34,250
I wanted more.

310
00:20:37,166 --> 00:20:38,291
Tell me about your poems.

311
00:20:39,625 --> 00:20:41,083
They're crap, Miss.

312
00:20:41,166 --> 00:20:42,541
Yeah, but they're your crap.

313
00:20:43,625 --> 00:20:46,500
And if you keep at it,
one day you might think they're not crap.

314
00:20:48,166 --> 00:20:50,606
I want to write for the paper.

315
00:20:51,708 --> 00:20:54,208
We're not really looking
for new writers at the moment.

316
00:20:54,625 --> 00:20:56,583
I like to write, and I want to learn.

317
00:20:57,125 --> 00:20:58,445
I could show you some of my work.

318
00:20:59,541 --> 00:21:00,791
I'd rather you didn't.

319
00:21:01,291 --> 00:21:05,041
- I could show you some of my poems.
- I... really don't wanna read them.

320
00:21:13,916 --> 00:21:17,541
<i>Beti</i>, I'm so happy.
They have found a boy.

321
00:21:17,875 --> 00:21:21,000
- And he's definitely not a taxi driver?
- No, <i>beti</i>. He's a graduate.

322
00:21:21,666 --> 00:21:24,916
- MA from the University of Rawalpindi.
- I want to ask more overtime...

<i>Vauxhall Motors are cutting

What are they saying?

00:21:53,041 --> 00:21:56,333
Vauxhall's laying off half the workforce.
Dad's job.

333
00:21:56,416 --> 00:21:59,208
No, <i>beta</i>. He's been there for 16 years.

334
00:21:59,583 --> 00:22:01,916
Double shift, night shift,
whatever they wanted.

<i>Dear General Motors,

<i>I'll have to stop studying

<i>My life now is a total disaster.</i>

343
00:22:40,833 --> 00:22:43,416
<i>I want to escape this depressing town.</i>

344
00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:45,375
<i>Is that such a crime?</i>

345
00:22:45,666 --> 00:22:50,083
<i>How useless am I, sitting here,
Trying to make words rhyme?</i>

346

a woman rang the BBC and said</i>

352
00:23:17,833 --> 00:23:19,916
- Javed?
- I don't know

353
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:23,166
but writing crap poems
doesn't help anyone.

354
00:23:23,250 --> 00:23:25,500

My poems.

Did you fish them out of a bin?

427
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:12,250
I did throw them away last night.

428
00:29:13,333 --> 00:29:14,541
But then I changed my mind.

429
00:29:15,041 --> 00:29:17,416
They're not brilliant, but they're mine.

430
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:29,291
Roops! Roops!
I listened to everything.

431
00:29:29,375 --> 00:29:30,875
Both tapes.

432
00:29:30,958 --> 00:29:33,375
I'm telling you,
I could feel it all right here.

433
00:29:33,666 --> 00:29:35,833
It's like Bruce knows
everything I've ever felt,

434
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:37,541
everything I've ever wanted.

435
00:29:37,625 --> 00:29:41,333
I mean, "Sometimes I feel so weak,
I just wanna explode.

436
00:29:41,416 --> 00:29:43,708
Explode and tear this whole town apart.

437

Take a knife and cut this pain

00:29:47,041 --> 00:29:48,708
I didn't know music could be like that.

439
00:29:50,375 --> 00:29:54,500
I mean, "Is a dream
a lie if it don't come true?

440
00:29:54,583 --> 00:29:56,541
Or is it something worse?"

441
00:29:57,125 --> 00:30:00,958
Congratulations.
You've popped your Bruce cherry.

00:30:01,250 --> 00:30:02,625
You never forget your first time.

443
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,250
I wrote something.

444
00:30:10,458 --> 00:30:11,601
Did I ask you to write something?

445
00:30:11,625 --> 00:30:13,208
I had to write it. It's about music.

446
00:30:14,083 --> 00:30:15,083
A record review.

447
00:30:15,125 --> 00:30:17,083

00:30:21,791 --> 00:30:24,708

00:30:25,291 --> 00:30:28,125
"Thunder Road... Springsteen."

450
00:30:29,208 --> 00:30:31,875

I'm really disappointed in you.

459
00:31:18,375 --> 00:31:19,583
You hated my poems...

460
00:31:19,666 --> 00:31:22,458
I hated that you threw them away
before anyone ever read them.

461
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:24,291
- You read them?
- Every one of them.

462
00:31:25,958 --> 00:31:27,666
Even "Luton Is A Four-Letter Word"?

463
00:31:27,958 --> 00:31:29,250
Yeah.

464
00:31:29,333 --> 00:31:31,853
And I can think of several more
four-letter words for Luton too.

465
00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:35,083
But the point is they're raw,
they're distinctive.

466

468
00:31:42,833 --> 00:31:44,333
But you're my teacher, Miss.

<i>Bruce Springsteen is not
some romantic, faraway figure</i>

479

480

485
00:32:20,416 --> 00:32:24,083

about something like "Born to Run."</i>

486

to have become more concerned</i>

- Who was that on TV?
- No one.

511
00:33:56,875 --> 00:33:59,958
- It's Bruce Springsteen.
- Springsteen? Jewish?

512
00:34:00,458 --> 00:34:03,708
Jewish? No. He's American.

513
00:34:04,416 --> 00:34:06,166
Have you done that letter for Mr. Shah?

514
00:34:07,250 --> 00:34:09,125
- I will.
- Mm.

515
00:34:20,333 --> 00:34:21,958
Hi. Can I help you?

516
00:34:24,125 --> 00:34:26,833
If you've come to complain
about my wife's sewing machine,

517
00:34:27,458 --> 00:34:30,208
you have to appreciate
that we have taken on extra work

518
00:34:30,291 --> 00:34:31,666
to make ends meet.

519
00:34:35,208 --> 00:34:36,291
I came about this.

520
00:34:41,791 --> 00:34:43,750
"Don't be Dumb

521
00:34:43,833 --> 00:34:45,500
NF Scum...

522
00:34:47,250 --> 00:34:48,625
by Javed Khan"?

523
00:34:50,291 --> 00:34:54,416
Mr. Evans... writing is my son's hobby.

524
00:34:55,083 --> 00:34:56,958
He didn't mean to offend you.
I'm sure of that.

525
00:34:57,541 --> 00:34:58,541
Javed, say sorry.

526
00:34:59,583 --> 00:35:01,166
Forty-eight years ago,

527
00:35:01,750 --> 00:35:06,041
I marched into war with my friends
to fight men in swastikas.

528
00:35:07,125 --> 00:35:10,750
Today, I see swastikas on young men
on the streets of Luton.

529
00:35:12,083 --> 00:35:14,541
That was a very brave poem, young man.

530
00:35:14,625 --> 00:35:18,083
You must write more
and get your message out.

531
00:35:19,416 --> 00:35:21,083
NF scum indeed.

532
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,291
Wow. He liked my poem.

533
00:35:28,416 --> 00:35:30,416
Why are you writing rubbish?

534
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:35,208
Excuse me. Did you read it?

535
00:35:35,916 --> 00:35:37,791
- I did.
- And?

536
00:35:39,541 --> 00:35:41,291
It wasn't really a review, was it?

537
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:44,875
It was more like a thousand words
of closely argued adulation.

538
00:35:45,125 --> 00:35:46,333
I know I can do better.

539
00:35:46,625 --> 00:35:48,666
Set them out nicely.

540
00:35:51,958 --> 00:35:54,458
- You're a Muslim, aren't you?
- Yeah.

541
00:35:54,541 --> 00:35:58,291
A Pakistani into Springsteen?
Now, that's got potential.

542
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,458
Sharpen the opening and I'll run it.

543
00:36:01,625 --> 00:36:02,625
Yes!

544
00:36:03,458 --> 00:36:06,916
Thirteen bundles. That's 130.

545
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,625
Um, 50 pence a pop. I owe you... 65 quid.

546
00:36:12,208 --> 00:36:14,166
Lovely. Same again for next week?

547
00:36:14,416 --> 00:36:15,791
My wife wants 20 bundles.

548
00:36:17,791 --> 00:36:20,708
Well, I mean, that's... that's
more than double what she did last week.

549
00:36:21,083 --> 00:36:22,166
Twenty is too much.

550
00:36:22,250 --> 00:36:25,041
Yasmeen, Javed, help her.

551
00:36:28,416 --> 00:36:29,833
Blimey.

552
00:36:34,916 --> 00:36:36,458
We can do 20 bundles.

553
00:36:37,083 --> 00:36:39,125
Yasmeen can help.
The children can help. I can help.

554
00:36:39,208 --> 00:36:42,500
Yasmeen works!
Javed and Shazia have studies.

555
00:36:42,583 --> 00:36:45,708
I have been working till twelve, one
in the morning. It's too much.

556
00:36:47,041 --> 00:36:50,416
Electricity bill. Telephone bill.
Rates. Gas bill.

557
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:53,500
Yasmeen is getting married.
Shazia will be next.

558
00:36:54,583 --> 00:36:55,750
We need the money.

559
00:36:55,833 --> 00:36:58,375
What about all the work you do
helping people at the masjid?

560
00:36:58,708 --> 00:37:00,250
Why don't you ask them to pay you?

561
00:37:01,166 --> 00:37:02,166
I cannot do that.

562
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:05,166
You spend time
looking at houses you can't buy,

563
00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:06,570
sort out your friends' mortgages.

564
00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:08,166
And what do you get out of that?

565
00:37:09,291 --> 00:37:11,583
What will people say, huh,

566
00:37:12,083 --> 00:37:14,000
if they thought
I was doing it for the money?

567
00:37:14,083 --> 00:37:15,083
There.

568
00:37:16,291 --> 00:37:18,916
So... what are we doing?

569
00:37:25,541 --> 00:37:28,125
- Hm.
- Right, 20 it is.

570
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:31,500
OK, I'll go and get another seven, yeah?

571
00:37:34,708 --> 00:37:35,791
Javed.

572
00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:47,375
You are my only son.

573
00:37:48,625 --> 00:37:49,750
I need you to do more.

574
00:37:50,166 --> 00:37:51,434
But, Dad, there's no jobs out there.

575
00:37:51,458 --> 00:37:53,166
We have to try, <i>beta</i>.

576
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:56,208
My dream was to come here
and work hard for my family.

577
00:37:56,291 --> 00:37:57,541
We can't give up now.

578
00:38:03,416 --> 00:38:05,684
I'm sorry, boss. I'm sorry.
It's not gonna happen again.

579
00:38:05,708 --> 00:38:07,125
Don't do it again.

580
00:38:07,875 --> 00:38:09,875
- Have you got any jobs?
- Javed, son,

581
00:38:10,458 --> 00:38:12,666

You got yourself
a girlfriend yet?

605
00:39:31,291 --> 00:39:33,458
- What are you doing with those?
- Help yourself.

606
00:39:40,750 --> 00:39:43,375
You should try telesales.
You could be anyone on the phone.

607
00:39:43,458 --> 00:39:45,208
They don't know
if you're Tom, Dick or Ali.

608
00:39:45,375 --> 00:39:48,041
I'll try anything.
My dad really needs cash.

609
00:39:48,125 --> 00:39:49,875
Do you know what you want?

610
00:39:50,541 --> 00:39:52,375
- Tea.
- How do you like it?

611
00:39:52,458 --> 00:39:53,875
Sweet, like my girls.

612
00:40:02,083 --> 00:40:04,791
Do you know what I think helped Bruce
deal with a shitty life?

613
00:40:05,708 --> 00:40:06,916
Girls.

614
00:40:07,250 --> 00:40:09,500
- Girls were his salvation.
- Oh, yeah.

615
00:40:09,875 --> 00:40:11,791
We all need that kind of salvation.

616
00:40:14,458 --> 00:40:16,666
I wish I could write about girls
like Bruce does.

617
00:40:17,041 --> 00:40:19,083
Listen, life ain't no Springsteen song.

618
00:40:19,458 --> 00:40:21,642
If we end up with a girl
with less facial hair than Chewbacca,

619
00:40:21,666 --> 00:40:23,541
we'll have done well, yeah?

620
00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:27,708
Hey, er... I got you this.

621
00:40:28,791 --> 00:40:29,875
Go on. Move.

622
00:40:33,208 --> 00:40:34,750
There's loads of seats free.

623
00:40:34,833 --> 00:40:36,500
Well, this is our table now.

624
00:40:36,875 --> 00:40:39,666
Or do we need to move you, Pakis?

625
00:40:39,750 --> 00:40:40,910
Get up.

626
00:40:42,208 --> 00:40:43,458
Come on.

627
00:40:43,833 --> 00:40:46,041
Off you go. Quickly.

628
00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:49,291
- Good boy.
- Thank you very much. Move.

629
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:52,791
Oi, oi, oi. Nah, nah, nah.
Move over there, mate.

630
00:40:52,875 --> 00:40:55,666
I can still bloody smell you
from here, all right?

631
00:40:57,291 --> 00:41:00,125
Go on, move. Quickly. Thank you.

632
00:41:07,208 --> 00:41:08,666
We should have said something.

633
00:41:09,791 --> 00:41:11,125
We can't just take it.

634
00:41:12,875 --> 00:41:13,916
Where's the tape?

635
00:41:15,791 --> 00:41:18,916
- I don't care if I told you it before.
- No, you carry on, mate.

636
00:41:24,875 --> 00:41:26,083
What are you doing, mate?

637
00:41:26,583 --> 00:41:29,208
Is this a... Is this a special Paki film?

638
00:41:29,291 --> 00:41:30,416
Huh?

639
00:41:30,833 --> 00:41:33,291
Is this the number one Paki film?

640
00:41:33,375 --> 00:41:34,375
Give it back.

641
00:41:34,416 --> 00:41:36,816
Bruce Springsteen? Eh?
He doesn't sound like a Paki, does he?

642
00:41:37,916 --> 00:41:40,250
- Oi.
- For the ones who had a notion

643
00:41:40,333 --> 00:41:42,184
A notion deep inside

644
00:41:42,208 --> 00:41:44,750
That it ain't no sin
To be glad you're alive

645
00:41:45,083 --> 00:41:47,708
I wanna find one face
That ain't looking through me

646
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,208

655
00:42:17,416 --> 00:42:20,041
I've been door to door
to every store in the Arndale.

656
00:42:21,041 --> 00:42:22,559
Do you reckon your dad
could give me a job?

657
00:42:22,583 --> 00:42:24,291
- Not dropping out, are you?
- No way.

658
00:42:24,708 --> 00:42:26,500
But my dad's been laid off.

659
00:42:28,416 --> 00:42:32,791
Dad, J's been looking for a Saturday job.
Can you help him out?

660
00:42:32,875 --> 00:42:35,041
I'm sorry, J. Business is down.

661
00:42:35,125 --> 00:42:36,166
I'll do anything.

662
00:42:37,125 --> 00:42:39,125
Lug boxes around,
put up the stall, clear it up.

663
00:42:39,708 --> 00:42:40,708
I'm really desperate.

664
00:42:41,208 --> 00:42:44,125
All right, start Saturday,
but I'm not paying you a lot. Eh?

665
00:42:44,791 --> 00:42:46,083
Now, what you got there?

666
00:42:46,708 --> 00:42:48,583
This guy is incredible.

667
00:42:49,750 --> 00:42:51,750
You've never heard lyrics like his.

668
00:42:53,458 --> 00:42:54,458
Is that Billy Joel?

669
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,625
Billy Joel? You plonker. That is Bruce.

670
00:42:58,833 --> 00:43:01,333
God, you try and raise your kids right, J.

671
00:43:01,416 --> 00:43:02,791
I was there, son.

672
00:43:02,875 --> 00:43:05,458
1981, Wembley Arena.
Row T. The River Tour.

673
00:43:05,541 --> 00:43:08,041
Don't go writing me songs like him, J.
He's too...

674
00:43:08,416 --> 00:43:10,958
- Old school?
- No, American.

675
00:43:11,625 --> 00:43:13,225
Listen, I can't be dealing with all that

676
00:43:13,250 --> 00:43:16,083
you know,
"Born in the USA," stars and stripes shit.

677
00:43:16,458 --> 00:43:18,000
Surprised you're into it, mate.

678
00:43:18,083 --> 00:43:20,666

You lot all go off and leave home.

00:53:09,375 --> 00:53:11,458
We do the opposite.

846
00:53:12,208 --> 00:53:14,008
Talking of which,
I should probably get going.

847
00:53:14,916 --> 00:53:15,916
Bye.

848
00:53:18,958 --> 00:53:21,916

Not yet but I'm working on it.

892
00:55:57,541 --> 00:56:00,083
There are 600 people
like Eliza in this college

893
00:56:00,166 --> 00:56:01,875
who know nothing about the real Bruce.

894
00:56:02,166 --> 00:56:05,125
We have to do something about that.
Come on.

895
00:56:05,375 --> 00:56:07,735
You want a radio show?

896
00:56:08,083 --> 00:56:09,083
Yes.

897
00:56:10,416 --> 00:56:12,375
We have an Asian music show already, so...

898
00:56:12,458 --> 00:56:13,833
We don't wanna do an Asian show.

899
00:56:13,916 --> 00:56:15,142
What? Just cause we're a couple of Pakis,

900
00:56:15,166 --> 00:56:16,966
you think we'd be asking
to play more Bhangra?

901
00:56:18,250 --> 00:56:20,041
So, what do you want?

902
00:56:20,375 --> 00:56:23,000
A show that plays only Bruce Springsteen.

903
00:56:23,416 --> 00:56:26,041
Nothing but Springsteen? That's your idea?

904
00:56:26,416 --> 00:56:29,000
Bruce has a lot to say
to students in this college.

905
00:56:29,250 --> 00:56:32,250
How will they know there's something
better out there if they don't hear it?

906
00:56:36,125 --> 00:56:38,245
Look at the calendar over there,
the Cutting Crew one.

907
00:56:38,916 --> 00:56:41,250
Can you see what year it is?

908
00:56:41,750 --> 00:56:43,416
It's 1987.

909
00:56:43,750 --> 00:56:47,458
My job is to play music that
the students will connect to, yeah?

910
00:56:47,541 --> 00:56:50,166
That means Bros. That means Curiosity.

911
00:56:50,250 --> 00:56:53,375
And, yes, that even means Debbie Gibson.

912
00:56:54,041 --> 00:56:57,541
But Springsteen...
he's more what your dad listens to.

913
00:56:58,208 --> 00:56:59,208
Not my dad.

914
00:57:04,125 --> 00:57:05,208
- Hey.
- Hey.

915
00:57:05,291 --> 00:57:06,666
- All right?
- Yeah.

916
00:57:07,666 --> 00:57:09,750
Kevin, move up.

917
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,041
- Hi.
- Hey.

918
00:57:15,708 --> 00:57:17,625
I liked my poem this morning.

919
00:57:18,250 --> 00:57:19,291
I couldn't sleep.

920
00:57:20,541 --> 00:57:22,291
Was it another gem from Bruce?

921
00:57:22,625 --> 00:57:24,750
No. It's mine.

922
00:57:25,791 --> 00:57:27,083
You wrote that for me?

923
00:57:36,041 --> 00:57:39,833
Javed... your article on how
Springsteen inspires you...

924
00:57:39,916 --> 00:57:41,041
Too much adulation?

925
00:57:42,041 --> 00:57:44,458
It was personal, passionate.

926
00:57:44,541 --> 00:57:46,333
I could hear you shouting off the page.

927
00:57:47,250 --> 00:57:49,041
I have a friend at the Herald.

928
00:57:49,583 --> 00:57:50,791

992
01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:36,083
where a pig's head was found
hanging from the minaret here

993
01:02:36,166 --> 01:02:37,500
at Luton Mosque.

994
01:02:37,583 --> 01:02:40,416
Witnesses say two men were seen
climbing up the minaret this morning

995
01:02:40,500 --> 01:02:43,083
to place the pig's head
before morning prayer.

996
01:02:43,166 --> 01:02:44,041
- Understandably,
- I should go.

997
01:02:44,125 --> 01:02:45,517
- the community are up in arms
- Sorry.

998
01:02:45,541 --> 01:02:47,916
and the police are doing
all they can to support them

999
01:02:48,166 --> 01:02:50,791
in light of this shocking event.

1000
01:02:50,875 --> 01:02:53,916
This incident comes the same day
as the extreme right National Front

1001
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,041
has announced their plan for a march
through the streets of Luton.

1002
01:02:57,125 --> 01:02:58,916
No date for the march
has been confirmed yet,

1003
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,041
but all police leave has been cancelled.

1004
01:03:02,416 --> 01:03:03,936
Well, I hope we're all hungry.

1005
01:03:04,458 --> 01:03:07,333
I had hoped Eliza might change for dinner
but can't have it all.

1006
01:03:07,416 --> 01:03:09,101
- Mum, stop fussing.
- Right... Ah.

1007
01:03:09,125 --> 01:03:10,958
- Garlic bread.
- Oh, lovely.

1008
01:03:11,041 --> 01:03:12,500
- Here we all are.
- Good.

1009
01:03:12,583 --> 01:03:13,583
Lovely.

1010
01:03:14,583 --> 01:03:15,601
So where shall we sit, darling?

1011
01:03:15,625 --> 01:03:19,166
Um, well, why don't I go at the head here?

1012
01:03:19,250 --> 01:03:21,017
- And, Francis, you go there.
- I'll pop here.

1013
01:03:21,041 --> 01:03:24,250
Yes, that's it.
And then you go either side.

1014
01:03:24,333 --> 01:03:27,500
Sit yourself down.
I'll just place the garlic bread...

1015
01:03:27,583 --> 01:03:28,458
- On the table.
- ...here.

1016
01:03:28,541 --> 01:03:31,708
- Lovely.
- Oh, it is so lovely to meet you.

1017
01:03:31,791 --> 01:03:33,750
Eliza's very picky on who she brings home.

1018
01:03:33,833 --> 01:03:35,916
Yes, she picks the boys

1019
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,958
she thinks we're going to find
the most shocking.

1020
01:03:39,041 --> 01:03:41,333
Politics.

1021
01:03:41,916 --> 01:03:44,291
It's very personal for our Eliza.
Isn't it, Princess?

1022
01:03:44,375 --> 01:03:46,500
The only thing shocking,
Dad, is your bigotry

1023
01:03:46,583 --> 01:03:49,208
towards anybody who isn't white,
middle-class and true blue.

1024
01:03:49,541 --> 01:03:51,125
You'll have to forgive Eliza.

1025
01:03:51,208 --> 01:03:53,625
Sometimes I'm not sure
how we raised such a firebrand.

1026
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,281
Do you remember the one
with the eyeliner and the daisies?

1027
01:03:58,416 --> 01:04:00,125
He so wanted to be Morrissey.

1028
01:04:00,708 --> 01:04:03,583
Then there was the colored fellow
with the dreadlocks.

1029
01:04:03,666 --> 01:04:05,958
- No one says "colored" anymore, Dad.
- No?

1030
01:04:06,750 --> 01:04:09,083
With Eliza,
it's the more provocative the better.

1031
01:04:09,166 --> 01:04:11,966
Well, what's provocative about Javed?

1032
01:04:16,791 --> 01:04:17,875
Hmm.

1033
01:04:19,750 --> 01:04:22,166
Javed doesn't drink. He's a Muslim.

1034
01:04:22,666 --> 01:04:24,166
It's against their religion, Dad.

1035
01:04:27,583 --> 01:04:29,375
Well, have a little bit, see how you go.

1036
01:04:31,458 --> 01:04:32,818
We won't tell anyone if you don't.

1037
01:04:33,375 --> 01:04:34,875
Right.

1038
01:04:37,541 --> 01:04:39,601
You broke into the college radio station,

1039
01:04:39,625 --> 01:04:42,083
and you played a record of your choice.

1040
01:04:42,541 --> 01:04:43,791
We're very sorry, Miss.

1041
01:04:43,875 --> 01:04:45,958
You see my problem, don't you?

1042
01:04:46,041 --> 01:04:49,541
Please don't expel us. I need my A levels.

1043
01:04:50,833 --> 01:04:53,583
Yeah... Yeah, we're very sorry, Miss.

1044
01:04:55,041 --> 01:04:58,041
So, what I'm going to do...

1045
01:04:59,625 --> 01:05:03,750
You will promise...
promise, never to do it again,

1046
01:05:04,458 --> 01:05:06,250
and that, I hope, will be the end of that.

1047
01:05:08,958 --> 01:05:10,166
Is that it?

1048
01:05:11,083 --> 01:05:14,000
They vandalized my studio!
They scratched my Tiffany record!

1049
01:05:14,083 --> 01:05:16,458
Oh, please, Colin. Tiffany?

1050
01:05:16,541 --> 01:05:18,166
Even I know Tiffany's not all that.

1051
01:05:20,916 --> 01:05:23,000
Judith Anderson's mobile telephone.

1052
01:05:23,291 --> 01:05:24,958
OK. Right, run along. Yes, hello.

1053
01:05:25,041 --> 01:05:28,000
This is my mobile telephone.
Could you call on the office line?

1054
01:05:28,083 --> 01:05:29,892
It just turns out
this is just much too expensive.

1055
01:05:29,916 --> 01:05:31,000

1069
01:07:14,250 --> 01:07:16,410
I've been offered a job at the Herald
for the holidays.

1070
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:18,375
How much will they pay you?

1071
01:07:18,541 --> 01:07:21,125
They won't. It's work experience.

1072
01:07:22,250 --> 01:07:24,041
They want you to work for no money?

1073
01:07:24,333 --> 01:07:27,458
The deputy editor thinks I can write.
It's a great opportunity.

1074
01:07:29,250 --> 01:07:30,583
How is it a great opportunity

1075
01:07:30,875 --> 01:07:33,458
when they're making you work
and not giving you any money?

1076
01:07:33,875 --> 01:07:36,750
Dad, I want to be a writer.

1077
01:07:37,208 --> 01:07:39,291
- Writing isn't a job.
- It can be.

1078
01:07:39,375 --> 01:07:41,583
Name me one Pakistani writer. Just one.

1079
01:07:43,291 --> 01:07:46,958
Writing is for English people...
with rich parents.

1080
01:07:47,041 --> 01:07:49,361
But this is the chance
to do something I really want to do.

1081
01:07:49,583 --> 01:07:52,333
"I"? What is this "I"?

1082
01:07:52,416 --> 01:07:53,833
Everyone else is making money...

1083
01:07:54,166 --> 01:07:57,500
Mum, Yasmeen, Shazia.
The only one who isn't is you.

1084
01:07:59,375 --> 01:08:00,934
I don't wanna go and be an estate agent

1085
01:08:00,958 --> 01:08:03,358
when I've got the chance
to do something I really want to do.

1086
01:08:03,666 --> 01:08:05,375
- Get out.
- What?

1087
01:08:06,041 --> 01:08:08,625
You will not talk to your father
like this. Get out.

1088
01:08:16,541 --> 01:08:19,333
The biggest mistake I made
was coming to this country.

1089
01:08:20,833 --> 01:08:22,791
I didn't ask you to come here!

1090
01:08:38,875 --> 01:08:42,500
- There we go.
- Nice one. Cheers, boys.

1091
01:08:44,041 --> 01:08:45,642
- Come on, then.
- All right.

1092
01:08:45,666 --> 01:08:46,706
I'll see you later.

1093
01:08:46,750 --> 01:08:48,958
You, mate,
need to start practicing, seriously.

1094
01:08:49,041 --> 01:08:51,142
- Because we're all putting the work in.
- Matt.

1095
01:08:51,166 --> 01:08:52,875
- Hey!
- I was good. Come on.

1096
01:08:53,250 --> 01:08:54,708
- Matt.
- Listen, seriously...

1097
01:08:54,791 --> 01:08:55,976
That was all right, innit?

1098
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:56,833
What time you's coming round
tomorrow?

1099
01:08:56,916 --> 01:08:58,916
- Matt!
- All right. See you there, man.

1100
01:08:59,833 --> 01:09:01,113
Yeah, mate, nice one.

1101
01:09:01,166 --> 01:09:02,791
Just had band practice?

1102
01:09:04,333 --> 01:09:07,416
Look... I'm sorry.

1103
01:09:08,583 --> 01:09:11,250
I didn't mean to upset you.
Can we just forget it and move on?

1104
01:09:16,583 --> 01:09:17,583
Let's forget

1105
01:09:18,583 --> 01:09:21,375
who stood up for you at school
when you were called a dirty Paki.

1106
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:27,291
Let's forget who's been trying
their hardest to get you a girl,

1107
01:09:27,708 --> 01:09:29,041
get you a life.

1108
01:09:30,791 --> 01:09:32,666
And now you think you're it
with this college

1109
01:09:33,291 --> 01:09:35,250
and your Bruce philosophies on life.

1110
01:09:36,666 --> 01:09:39,291
You think you can shit all over me.

1111
01:09:39,958 --> 01:09:42,083
Well, if you strip that away,
you're still sad Javed,

1112
01:09:43,250 --> 01:09:45,708
whose dad picks on him
just like mine does on me.

1113
01:09:50,791 --> 01:09:52,083
See you later, boys.

1114
01:09:52,500 --> 01:09:55,000
- Right, see you later, Matt.
- Take care, mate.

1115
01:09:55,083 --> 01:09:56,083
Get in.

1116
01:10:08,166 --> 01:10:09,583
I suppose you heard that?

1117
01:10:14,041 --> 01:10:16,625
All I'm trying to do
is stand up for myself,

1118
01:10:16,708 --> 01:10:19,625
stop doing what others want
and do what I want for a change.

1119
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,708
Good friends deserve to be listened to.

1120
01:11:00,583 --> 01:11:01,583
I'm sorry.

1121
01:11:02,708 --> 01:11:05,666
You're right. I have been up myself.

1122
01:11:05,750 --> 01:11:08,708
Your music is just as great
cause it speaks to you and...

1123
01:11:08,791 --> 01:11:10,416
- You're a wanker.
- I know.

1124
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,000
Sorry.

1125
01:11:16,291 --> 01:11:18,125
About the finding me a girl bit...

1126
01:11:21,916 --> 01:11:23,676
At least you don't have to help me
with that.

1127
01:11:26,125 --> 01:11:27,125
What?

1128
01:11:27,708 --> 01:11:30,125
You got a girlfriend?

1129
01:11:30,833 --> 01:11:32,666
And you didn't even bloody tell me!

1130
01:11:35,541 --> 01:11:38,625
You jammy little sod.

1131
01:11:39,875 --> 01:11:43,916

You little devil.

1163
01:14:06,750 --> 01:14:09,208
Get in here. Get in, come in.
I wanna know all the details.

1164
01:14:09,291 --> 01:14:12,291
I can't. I've promised
to take my sister to a gig.

1165
01:14:12,375 --> 01:14:13,500
Gig?

1166
01:14:14,166 --> 01:14:15,375
At eight in the morning?

1167
01:14:16,083 --> 01:14:18,291
This is a really big favor, Shazia.

1168
01:14:18,750 --> 01:14:21,416
I know, but she's worth it, right?

1169
01:14:22,208 --> 01:14:24,041
She's really pretty too.

1170
01:14:24,125 --> 01:14:26,833
Anyway, are you sure
these lot's parents don't know

1171
01:14:26,916 --> 01:14:29,476
they've bunked off school
to hit a nightclub at ten in the morning?

1172
01:14:29,500 --> 01:14:31,458
Are you sure you're even Asian?

1173
01:14:31,666 --> 01:14:34,458
I can't believe you've never heard
of a daytimer before.

Jesus, Shazia!

1175
01:14:50,833 --> 01:14:53,208
You look like a Pakistani Madonna!

1176
01:14:53,875 --> 01:14:56,000
Thank God Mum and Dad can't see you.

1177
01:14:56,083 --> 01:14:58,458
That's what's so perfect about daytimers.

1178
01:14:58,541 --> 01:15:00,708

Big round of applause. And for the Asian

1191
01:16:08,958 --> 01:16:11,791
Now, I've got a fresh cut coming
in straight off the press in Southall.

1192
01:16:11,875 --> 01:16:14,416
They've got the best hair in the West.
It's Heera!

1193
01:16:44,250 --> 01:16:45,309
Come along. Keep moving.

1194
01:16:45,333 --> 01:16:48,458
Yeah, thanks for coming.
Yeah. Keep moving.

1195
01:16:48,541 --> 01:16:49,875
Can I have an NME, please?

1196
01:16:50,750 --> 01:16:51,791
- There you go.
- Thanks.

1197
01:16:51,875 --> 01:16:52,875
Thank you.

1198
01:16:54,875 --> 01:16:55,791
Hello, young lady,
how can I help you?

1199
01:16:55,875 --> 01:16:57,625
Can I have a Kit Kat, please?

1200
01:16:58,166 --> 01:16:59,486
That's 20 pence, please.

1201
01:17:15,041 --> 01:17:16,041
Thanks.

1202
01:17:16,791 --> 01:17:18,250
We're so even now.

1203
01:17:20,416 --> 01:17:21,500
What's his name?

1204
01:17:23,208 --> 01:17:25,416
- Kaleem.
- How long have you known him?

1205
01:17:29,375 --> 01:17:30,541
Fifteen months.

1206
01:17:31,083 --> 01:17:32,250
Fifteen months?

1207
01:17:32,333 --> 01:17:33,517
He goes to the boys' school down the road.

1208
01:17:33,541 --> 01:17:36,916
Shazia, you are good.
I didn't even know you could dance!

1209
01:17:39,791 --> 01:17:42,000
It's the only time I can forget life.

1210
01:17:43,333 --> 01:17:46,000
When I'm dancing, I block out the world.

1211
01:17:48,875 --> 01:17:50,000
I know what you mean.

1212
01:17:51,791 --> 01:17:54,583
And this is what you do
in your own crazy <i>gora</i> rock world.

1213
01:17:57,250 --> 01:17:58,250
He's coming.

1214
01:17:59,041 --> 01:18:03,083
Bruce. Wembley Stadium.
Oh my God! Oh my God!

1215
01:18:04,541 --> 01:18:06,708
You know, unless Bruce does a daytimer,

1216
01:18:06,791 --> 01:18:08,671
you know there's no way
you're going, don't you?

1217
01:18:08,958 --> 01:18:11,875
I am going. I have to.

1218
01:18:22,541 --> 01:18:23,625
Hi. It's Javed, right?

1219
01:18:24,583 --> 01:18:26,291
Yes. You want tea?

1220
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:28,375
You're Muslim, right?

1221
01:18:29,541 --> 01:18:32,000
Yeah. I can still stay, right?

1222
01:18:32,708 --> 01:18:33,708
Can you speak Urdu?

1223
01:18:34,541 --> 01:18:36,666
- I'm not fluent.
- That's more than me.

1224
01:18:36,750 --> 01:18:38,392
Come on.
Got a story to cover at the mosque.

1225
01:18:38,416 --> 01:18:40,583
- And no one's gonna talk to me.
- The mosque?

1226
01:18:40,875 --> 01:18:42,559
People are calling for it
to be closed down.

1227
01:18:42,583 --> 01:18:44,375
You can help get your lot's version over.

1228
01:18:44,666 --> 01:18:46,626
If you're lucky,
you might get your first by-line.

1229
01:18:58,166 --> 01:18:59,166
There.

1230
01:18:59,541 --> 01:19:01,416
This is making you look like a young man.

1231
01:19:02,041 --> 01:19:04,291
Am I looking like
the handsome man you married?

1232
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:06,250
Don't talk like that.

1233
01:19:07,166 --> 01:19:09,750
Sit still.
I have to get back to my sewing.

1234
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:19,125
Why cry?

1235
01:19:19,625 --> 01:19:21,500
This is a happy time now.

1236
01:19:22,125 --> 01:19:23,291
What happy?

1237
01:19:25,875 --> 01:19:29,208
I have failed you and Yasmeen.

1238
01:19:31,791 --> 01:19:33,666
I cannot even pay for the wedding.

1239
01:19:36,750 --> 01:19:40,500
You have to slave on that sewing machine

1240
01:19:40,583 --> 01:19:42,166
morning till night.

1241
01:19:45,333 --> 01:19:46,333
What happened?

1242
01:19:46,833 --> 01:19:48,291
It wasn't meant to be like this.

1243
01:19:49,083 --> 01:19:51,708
Chup, be quiet.

1244
01:19:55,166 --> 01:19:57,833
You are the head of this family.

1245
01:19:58,416 --> 01:20:00,333
No one cares for us like you do,

1246
01:20:00,791 --> 01:20:03,541
and no one has been
a better father to Yasmeen.

1247
01:20:05,458 --> 01:20:07,583
We will have the best wedding party.

1248
01:20:08,208 --> 01:20:09,250
You'll see.

1249
01:20:11,250 --> 01:20:12,250
Huh?

1250
01:20:14,708 --> 01:20:16,666
- Let me show you.
- Please get away.

1251
01:20:16,750 --> 01:20:18,833
- Don't scratch the car.
- Be careful.

1252
01:20:18,916 --> 01:20:20,541
Don't scratch the car.

1253
01:20:22,083 --> 01:20:24,958
Shaz. Shaz, I need your help.

1254
01:20:25,375 --> 01:20:28,000
- Bruce tickets go on sale today.
- What, now?

1255
01:20:28,083 --> 01:20:30,750
I'll come back quickly.
It's only down the road.

1256
01:20:30,833 --> 01:20:34,000
I'll meet you at the venue.
If I don't go now, they might sell out.

1257
01:20:34,583 --> 01:20:36,916
OK, fine. I'll cover for you.

1258
01:20:37,333 --> 01:20:38,916
Where did you get the money, anyway?

1259
01:20:39,250 --> 01:20:40,833
Dad takes all the wages.

1260
01:20:40,916 --> 01:20:44,083
The Herald paid me for my article,
but I never told Dad.

1261
01:20:45,416 --> 01:20:47,375
Oh, God, Shazia,
you're making me feel bad.

1262
01:20:47,458 --> 01:20:49,833
Look! Look at the beautiful bride.

1263
01:20:50,708 --> 01:20:52,388
That's what a bride
should look like.

1264
01:20:54,041 --> 01:20:56,625
- Princess of Bury Park!
- You should go.

1265
01:20:56,875 --> 01:21:00,083
You might never
get to see Bruce again. Go.

1266
01:21:01,208 --> 01:21:03,458
Go and sit down in your car, ladies.

1267
01:21:03,541 --> 01:21:05,458
Come on, everyone, quickly, in your cars.

1268
01:21:40,750 --> 01:21:43,125
We are going to a wedding there, Officer!

1269
01:21:43,208 --> 01:21:45,583
- You'll have to wait, sir.
- What's going on?

1270
01:21:45,666 --> 01:21:49,041
We need to get to the community center.
My daughter is getting married.

1271
01:21:49,708 --> 01:21:52,625
If they're black,
send them back!

1272
01:21:56,708 --> 01:21:59,083
Just move back
and to the side there for me, please.

1273
01:21:59,166 --> 01:22:01,958
Move over, please.

1274
01:22:02,250 --> 01:22:03,416
<i>- Beti.</i>
- Mum.

1275
01:22:03,500 --> 01:22:05,875
- Stay here.
- Move over to the side.

1276
01:22:06,250 --> 01:22:07,934
We have to get to the community center.

1277
01:22:07,958 --> 01:22:10,708
If they're black, send them back!

1278
01:22:10,791 --> 01:22:13,291
- Nazi scum!
- Educate yourself!

1279
01:22:13,583 --> 01:22:15,583
Pakis out! Pakis out!

1280
01:22:23,583 --> 01:22:25,125
Smash the National Front!

1281
01:22:27,500 --> 01:22:29,460
- Traitor!
- Smash the National Front!

1282
01:22:31,583 --> 01:22:33,500
Bruce Springsteen.
Do you still have tickets?

1283
01:22:33,791 --> 01:22:35,311
Please tell me you still have tickets.

1284
01:22:38,833 --> 01:22:40,041
We haven't sold any yet, J.

1285
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,500
Oh. Two, please.

1286
01:22:45,916 --> 01:22:46,916
That's 40 quid.

1287
01:22:47,708 --> 01:22:48,708
It's all there.

1288
01:22:49,208 --> 01:22:50,625
Thanks.

1289
01:22:50,708 --> 01:22:53,041
Saleem, what are you doing? Come back.

1290
01:22:53,125 --> 01:22:55,625
Oi, move!
What are you playing at?

1291
01:22:55,708 --> 01:22:57,017
We've got to get to a wedding.

1292
01:22:57,041 --> 01:22:58,561
Saleem!

1293
01:22:58,708 --> 01:23:00,291
Oh my God!

1294
01:23:02,875 --> 01:23:04,708
Argh!

1295
01:23:10,041 --> 01:23:12,458
- Are you OK?
- I'm OK.

1296
01:23:13,083 --> 01:23:14,683
Go and get him! Go and get him, quickly!

1297
01:23:15,958 --> 01:23:17,375
Where's Javed?

1298
01:23:17,541 --> 01:23:18,833
Is he OK?

1299
01:23:19,916 --> 01:23:22,000
- Where's Javed?
- Javed?

1300
01:23:22,083 --> 01:23:23,083
Javed?

1301
01:23:50,625 --> 01:23:51,833
Javed?

1302
01:23:53,291 --> 01:23:55,208

Leave it.

1313
01:24:56,458 --> 01:24:58,791
Yasmeen looked so beautiful,
didn't she, Mum?

1314
01:24:58,875 --> 01:25:00,958
- Thank God she liked the boy.
- He liked her too.

1315
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,500
I saw him sneak smiles at her a lot.

1316
01:25:04,208 --> 01:25:06,333
See? Those thugs couldn't spoil our day.

1317
01:25:27,833 --> 01:25:29,193
You've hit the jackpot.

1318
01:25:31,583 --> 01:25:32,583
Thank you.

1319
01:25:33,500 --> 01:25:34,833
Mr. Khan.

1320
01:25:36,625 --> 01:25:38,875
He's only gone and bloody done it.

1321
01:25:39,958 --> 01:25:41,083
Front-page credit.

1322
01:25:54,541 --> 01:25:56,000
Congratulations, son.

1323
01:25:56,083 --> 01:25:57,458
You're on your way.

1324
01:26:05,416 --> 01:26:06,833
On Yasmeen's wedding day?

1325
01:26:07,083 --> 01:26:09,291
You, washing your dirty clothes in public.

1326
01:26:09,375 --> 01:26:10,375
- Dad...
- You think that

1327
01:26:10,666 --> 01:26:12,000
this is a good thing to do?

1328
01:26:12,791 --> 01:26:13,934
What do you know about Islam?

1329
01:26:13,958 --> 01:26:15,625
I was just trying to protect the mosque.

1330
01:26:16,041 --> 01:26:18,684
I thought you'd be proud of me
writing the paper, like Mr. Evans is.

1331
01:26:18,708 --> 01:26:22,250
Proud? You think bringing attention
to us will make me feel proud?

1332
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,291
I was giving us a voice,
telling our story.

1333
01:26:25,375 --> 01:26:27,083
We should keep our heads down.

1334
01:26:28,166 --> 01:26:30,666
Your head is full of big ideas,

1335
01:26:30,750 --> 01:26:31,916
above you.

1336
01:26:32,250 --> 01:26:33,601
This is all to do with this Jewish singer.

1337
01:26:33,625 --> 01:26:35,166
He isn't Jewish, Dad.

1338
01:26:35,250 --> 01:26:38,625
Your son has lost his mind,
listening to this man's <i>bakwaas.</i>

1339
01:26:38,708 --> 01:26:41,916
- Dad, just listen to me.
- You listen to me. Huh?

1340
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,166
Do you think that this man
sings for people like us?

1341
01:26:44,458 --> 01:26:45,791
But he talks to <i>me.</i>

1342
01:26:47,708 --> 01:26:50,416
He's coming to London,
and I'm gonna go see him.

1343
01:26:51,958 --> 01:26:54,875
He's doing a concert, and I'm going.

1344
01:26:56,791 --> 01:26:58,711
Where did you get the money
to buy these tickets?

1345
01:26:59,166 --> 01:27:01,541
I earned it, at the Herald.

1346
01:27:02,625 --> 01:27:04,958
You told me that they didn't pay you.

1347
01:27:05,916 --> 01:27:09,416
Your mother has been working
night and day for this wedding,

1348
01:27:09,916 --> 01:27:11,416
and you had money to waste?

1349
01:27:11,875 --> 01:27:13,226
This has gone too far.
Give me those tickets.

1350
01:27:13,250 --> 01:27:15,250
No! They're mine.

1351
01:27:15,625 --> 01:27:18,625
It's my money.
I can't wait to get away from here.

1352
01:27:19,333 --> 01:27:21,973
- I want to go to university.
- You will go to university in Luton.

1353
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,208
Luton doesn't even have a university!

1354
01:27:24,291 --> 01:27:26,708
But Manchester University, they want me.

1355
01:27:26,791 --> 01:27:29,226
You will not go to Manchester. You will
not go anywhere. Give me those tickets.

1356
01:27:29,250 --> 01:27:31,208
No! I bought them with money

1357
01:27:31,291 --> 01:27:32,625
I earned as a writer.

1358
01:27:32,708 --> 01:27:35,083
- My words paid for these.
- Give me those tickets!

1359
01:27:35,166 --> 01:27:36,708
- No!
- Here, give me those!

1360
01:27:36,791 --> 01:27:38,231
- Stop, stop!
- Dad!

1361
01:27:38,291 --> 01:27:39,892
- Stop it!
- Dad, stop it!

1362
01:27:39,916 --> 01:27:41,583
Get off me!

1363
01:27:41,958 --> 01:27:44,625
Please stop! What are you doing?

1364
01:27:44,708 --> 01:27:46,666
What did I say, huh?

1365
01:27:46,916 --> 01:27:50,000
You are not British!
So stop acting like a <i>gora.</i>

1366
01:27:50,083 --> 01:27:52,125
You are Pakistani. You are my son!

1367
01:27:52,375 --> 01:27:54,250
I don't wanna be your son!

1368
01:27:57,125 --> 01:27:58,541
I wanna be more than that!

I was there when he got knocked down.
Where were you?

1391
01:30:05,625 --> 01:30:07,505
I didn't know the date
of the march had changed.

1392
01:30:08,416 --> 01:30:10,096
I went to get tickets
to the Bruce concert.

1393
01:30:10,166 --> 01:30:13,500
Your dad could have been seriously hurt.
You should have been there.

1394
01:30:13,583 --> 01:30:16,041
Who goes to buy concert tickets
on a family wedding day?

1395
01:30:16,125 --> 01:30:17,875
Ah. So now I've upset you as well.

1396
01:30:18,458 --> 01:30:20,250
Sorry for thinking about myself for once.

1397
01:30:20,541 --> 01:30:22,458
Oh, stop being a prat.

1398
01:30:24,166 --> 01:30:25,375
You know what?

1399
01:30:26,708 --> 01:30:28,041
There's no point.

1400
01:30:29,416 --> 01:30:30,833
- In what?
- In this.

1401
01:30:31,875 --> 01:30:34,291
Us. It can't mean anything.
You understand?

1402
01:30:35,250 --> 01:30:37,041
- No, I don't.
- I mean, my family...

1403
01:30:37,125 --> 01:30:40,291
Javed, stop making your family
your excuse for everything.

1404
01:30:40,375 --> 01:30:43,500
That jumper is awful.

1405
01:30:43,583 --> 01:30:44,583
Javed?

1406
01:30:50,416 --> 01:30:51,934
Sorry.
I know this probably isn't the best time,

1407
01:30:51,958 --> 01:30:53,708
but I gave your essay,

1408
01:30:54,125 --> 01:30:56,333
"An American Dream in Luton,"
to the principal,

1409
01:30:56,416 --> 01:30:59,250
and I sent it into a competition.

1410
01:31:00,541 --> 01:31:01,541
Why?

1411
01:31:02,500 --> 01:31:03,625
Because it's good.

1412
01:31:04,541 --> 01:31:07,083
You'll never guess what.
You only went and bloody won.

1413
01:31:07,833 --> 01:31:09,041
Excuse me?

1414
01:31:09,125 --> 01:31:11,250
They picked ten young writers
out of thousands,

1415
01:31:11,333 --> 01:31:13,333
and <i>you</i> are on the list.

1416
01:31:15,500 --> 01:31:16,980
Don't you wanna know what you've won?

1417
01:31:17,291 --> 01:31:20,000
- Not really.
- Only a trip to Monmouth College.

1418
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:22,392
They run
a prestigious writing competition,

1419
01:31:22,416 --> 01:31:25,833
and I thought that they would appreciate
your sentiments on a local luminary.

1420
01:31:26,791 --> 01:31:28,875
You do know
where Monmouth College is, right?

1421
01:31:30,166 --> 01:31:32,958
New Jersey, USA.

1422
01:31:33,458 --> 01:31:35,338
You'll only be a few miles
away from Asbury Park

1423
01:31:35,416 --> 01:31:37,083
where your great hero grew up.

1424
01:31:39,416 --> 01:31:41,336
They should give the prize
to someone who can go.

1425
01:31:41,541 --> 01:31:42,708
What?

1426
01:31:43,083 --> 01:31:45,208
My dad will never let me go to America.

1427
01:31:49,833 --> 01:31:51,666
Right.

1444

You won something? That's good.

1445
01:33:27,416 --> 01:33:28,416
For writing.

1446
01:33:30,083 --> 01:33:33,000
If you won, you must have worked hard.
That's good.

1447
01:33:33,708 --> 01:33:36,791
The prize is I get to attend
a conference at Monmouth College.

1448
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:41,375
- Where's that?
- New Jersey, America.

1449
01:33:42,833 --> 01:33:45,083
I won out of thousands of students.

1450
01:33:46,833 --> 01:33:50,625
America is unsafe. There's drugs, gangs...

1451
01:33:50,708 --> 01:33:52,388
There's plenty of drugs
and gangs in Luton.

1452
01:33:52,416 --> 01:33:54,625
In America,
no one cares where you're from.

1453
01:33:55,416 --> 01:33:57,125
Anyone can do what they wanna do.

1454
01:33:57,541 --> 01:33:59,208
They don't even know what Pakistanis are.

1455
01:33:59,291 --> 01:34:01,958
Everything that is bad about England
is even worse in America.

1456
01:34:02,041 --> 01:34:03,500
No, Dad.

1457
01:34:03,583 --> 01:34:06,083
Everything that's good in Britain
is even better in America.

1458
01:34:06,541 --> 01:34:08,916
The music, the TV, the possibilities.

1459
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:10,458
I wanna taste it all for myself.

1460
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:12,666
It's too dangerous, and you're too young.

1461
01:34:12,750 --> 01:34:14,350
How old were you when you left Pakistan?

1462
01:34:15,250 --> 01:34:16,250
What did your dad say?

1463
01:34:16,500 --> 01:34:17,500
That's different.

1464
01:34:18,916 --> 01:34:20,250
I'm going, Dad.

1465
01:34:22,208 --> 01:34:23,208
I have to.

1466
01:34:28,458 --> 01:34:31,708

and walk out of that door...

1467
01:34:33,833 --> 01:34:35,000

Purpose of your visit?

1481
01:35:30,458 --> 01:35:33,258
I'm going to a conference at Monmouth
College. I won a prize to attend.

1482
01:35:35,791 --> 01:35:37,031
But that's not my main purpose.

1483
01:35:38,125 --> 01:35:39,958
I'm going to Asbury Park with my friend

1484
01:35:40,166 --> 01:35:41,666
to see Bruce Springsteen's hometown.

1485
01:35:41,750 --> 01:35:42,875
Excuse me?

1486
01:35:44,958 --> 01:35:46,791
Hey, Billy. Check this guy out.

1487
01:35:47,291 --> 01:35:48,291
He's come all this way

1488
01:35:48,333 --> 01:35:50,541
because him and his buddy
are Bruce fans.

1489
01:35:56,083 --> 01:35:58,403

to visit the United States

1490
01:35:58,833 --> 01:36:00,250

Shazia spoke to Javed.
He's back from America.

1530
01:38:30,291 --> 01:38:31,750
He's living with his Sikh friend.

1531
01:38:33,458 --> 01:38:35,791
- You have to make it better.
- <i>I</i> have to make it better?

1532
01:38:36,250 --> 01:38:37,250
<i>He</i> disobeyed me.

1533
01:38:44,750 --> 01:38:46,208
When you left home,

1534
01:38:46,583 --> 01:38:49,250
your parents begged you to stay
in Karachi, so why did you go?

1535
01:38:49,500 --> 01:38:50,980
I wanted a better life for my family.

1536
01:38:51,083 --> 01:38:52,603
You thought you knew better than them.

1537
01:38:54,916 --> 01:38:58,500
He just wants to study to be a writer
for a few years in Manchester.

1538
01:38:58,791 --> 01:39:00,583
You were leaving Pakistan for good.

1539
01:39:02,458 --> 01:39:05,166
I let you come here because I trusted you.

1540
01:39:05,958 --> 01:39:08,041
Can you not trust your own son?

1541
01:39:12,791 --> 01:39:16,291
If you don't try to fix this now,
we will lose our son for good.

1542
01:39:16,375 --> 01:39:19,250
And if that happens,
I will never forgive you.

1543
01:39:45,708 --> 01:39:48,166
Huh. Father and son?

1544
01:39:56,166 --> 01:39:57,375
Mrs. Khan?

1545
01:39:58,500 --> 01:39:59,958
I'm friends with Javed.

1546
01:40:06,083 --> 01:40:07,875
Good evening, everyone.

1547
01:40:08,041 --> 01:40:11,166
Welcome to a very special evening,

1548
01:40:11,250 --> 01:40:16,000
celebrating the very best
of Luton Sixth Form College.

1549
01:40:16,458 --> 01:40:20,208
Please do stay around
afterwards for a reception.

1550
01:40:20,583 --> 01:40:22,458
The Chardonnay and Twiglets
will be flowing.

1551
01:40:24,875 --> 01:40:29,000
And now I would like
to begin with Javed Khan

1552
01:40:29,375 --> 01:40:31,000
reading an extract from

1553
01:40:31,083 --> 01:40:35,125
"A Runaway American Dream in Luton."

1554
01:40:36,166 --> 01:40:38,000
Exciting. Whoops.

1555
01:40:39,250 --> 01:40:41,166
Dad, listen to this, yeah?

1556
01:40:41,458 --> 01:40:42,458
Thanks.

1557
01:40:49,250 --> 01:40:51,041
Bruce Springsteen was,

1558
01:40:51,125 --> 01:40:53,750
to quote the album he is most famous for,

1559
01:40:53,833 --> 01:40:55,416
born in the USA,

1560
01:40:56,208 --> 01:40:59,708
but he has fans around the world,
including me.

1561
01:41:00,833 --> 01:41:02,958
I was not born in the USA,

1562
01:41:03,166 --> 01:41:05,916
and I grew up not
in Asbury Park, New Jersey,

1563
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:07,958
but Bury Park, Luton.

1564
01:41:08,291 --> 01:41:10,125
But the reason
I connected with Springsteen

1565
01:41:10,208 --> 01:41:13,041
is because what
he sings about and champions

1566
01:41:13,125 --> 01:41:14,791
are not only American values

1567
01:41:15,083 --> 01:41:16,875
but are the best of human values.

1568
01:41:17,375 --> 01:41:20,541
He talks about working hard
and holding on to your dreams

1569
01:41:20,625 --> 01:41:22,416
and not letting the hardness of the world

1570
01:41:22,500 --> 01:41:25,291
stop you from letting
the best of you slip away.

1571
01:41:26,708 --> 01:41:28,041
In these words,

1572
01:41:28,125 --> 01:41:32,125
I see a bridge between Springsteen
and my own Asian upbringing.

1573
01:41:33,125 --> 01:41:35,083
Just this way.

1574
01:41:43,500 --> 01:41:48,000
And that is why the music and values
of Springsteen's American dream

1575
01:41:48,083 --> 01:41:50,458
can reach and touch a boy from...

1576
01:41:56,916 --> 01:41:59,000
I'm sorry.
I don't know if I can read this.

1577
01:42:00,125 --> 01:42:01,916
You can. Go on.

1578
01:42:08,958 --> 01:42:12,000
When I wrote it,
I really believed every word, but now...

1579
01:42:16,500 --> 01:42:18,750
A lot has happened
since I wrote those words.

1580
01:42:20,208 --> 01:42:23,291
Then, I thought Bruce Springsteen
was the answer

1581
01:42:23,708 --> 01:42:25,875
and all I had to do was live by his words.

1582
01:42:28,833 --> 01:42:30,208
I don't think that's true anymore.

1583
01:42:33,791 --> 01:42:37,375
Bruce Springsteen got out of New Jersey
by following his dream.

1584
01:42:38,375 --> 01:42:39,375
Bruce sings,

1585
01:42:39,958 --> 01:42:43,416
"If dreams came true, well,
wouldn't that be nice?

1586
01:42:43,666 --> 01:42:46,125
But this ain't no dream
we're living through tonight.

1587
01:42:46,208 --> 01:42:49,125
If you want it,
you take it, and you pay the price."

1588
01:42:51,625 --> 01:42:54,833
So the question I'm asking is:
Can I pay that price?

1589
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,875
I know having dreams
doesn't make me a bad son.

1590
01:43:01,791 --> 01:43:03,625
I also know that everything I am

1591
01:43:03,708 --> 01:43:06,250
is because of the sacrifices
my mum and dad made.

1592
01:43:14,458 --> 01:43:16,291
My dad's not a typical dad.

1593
01:43:19,666 --> 01:43:22,833
We don't have jokey chats.

1594
01:43:22,916 --> 01:43:24,476
He's not like the dad you see on telly.

1595
01:43:26,750 --> 01:43:29,500
A lot of the time, he seems
pretty angry at the world.

1596
01:43:32,166 --> 01:43:35,791
I think Bruce Springsteen
would understand my dad,

1597
01:43:36,958 --> 01:43:39,791
cause like his father, they both
came from poor backgrounds,

1598
01:43:40,666 --> 01:43:42,333
both worked hard in factories,

1599
01:43:42,833 --> 01:43:46,375
both had dreams that never came true,
which left them angry.

1600
01:43:49,333 --> 01:43:52,166
And they both had sons who wanted
the chance to make them proud.

1601
01:44:02,583 --> 01:44:06,833
Bruce has a song called
"Blinded by the Light."

1602
01:44:08,750 --> 01:44:12,625
And when I first heard it, I thought...
I thought it was about love

1603
01:44:14,041 --> 01:44:19,166
and being blinded by the love
we might have for a girl or money.

1604
01:44:22,041 --> 01:44:23,916
But last night, I listened to it again.

1605
01:44:26,125 --> 01:44:28,458
And Bruce is saying so much more.

1606
01:44:29,958 --> 01:44:32,500
I was blinded by the light
when I first heard Springsteen

1607
01:44:32,583 --> 01:44:34,833
because I was only thinking,
in that moment,

1608
01:44:35,916 --> 01:44:37,791
about Springsteen and me.

1609
01:44:40,916 --> 01:44:44,333
But we're not all just individuals.

1610
01:44:45,166 --> 01:44:46,375
We have friends...

1611
01:44:48,583 --> 01:44:49,583
and family...

1612
01:44:51,125 --> 01:44:53,333
and what they think does matter.

1613
01:44:54,708 --> 01:44:57,791
Success without them isn't really success.

1614
01:44:59,791 --> 01:45:01,375
Being blinded meant I couldn't see

1615
01:45:01,458 --> 01:45:04,791
how much I am like my dad
and my dad is like me.

1616
01:45:06,583 --> 01:45:08,458
And as much as I wanted to leave Luton,

1617
01:45:09,708 --> 01:45:12,250
I understand that it will never leave me.

1618
01:45:14,541 --> 01:45:18,791
Bruce says no one wins
unless everybody wins.

1619
01:45:20,875 --> 01:45:25,708
My hope is to build a bridge
to my ambitions

1620
01:45:26,250 --> 01:45:28,291
but not a wall between my family and me.

1621
01:45:30,541 --> 01:45:31,666
That's my dream.

1622
01:45:32,958 --> 01:45:34,375
My American dream.

1623
01:45:36,958 --> 01:45:37,958
In Luton.

1624
01:45:44,500 --> 01:45:46,083
Whoo!

1625
01:45:52,625 --> 01:45:54,583
Bravo!

1626
01:46:11,458 --> 01:46:12,666
I'm so sorry.

1627
01:46:14,250 --> 01:46:15,875
I've missed you like mad.

1628
01:46:18,291 --> 01:46:20,833
Like a river that don't know
where it's flowing,

1629
01:46:21,708 --> 01:46:24,416
you took a wrong turn
and you just kept going.

1630
01:46:27,250 --> 01:46:29,083
But everybody's got a hungry heart.

1631
01:46:30,208 --> 01:46:31,958
Everybody's got a hungry heart.

1632
01:46:39,458 --> 01:46:41,083
You told my family, didn't you?

1633
01:46:42,833 --> 01:46:43,833
Thank you.

1634
01:46:44,583 --> 01:46:46,125
Now go and speak to your dad.

1635
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:55,083
<i>Beta</i>.

1636
01:46:56,583 --> 01:46:59,708
- I'm so proud of you.
- Thanks. Here, take this.

1637
01:47:00,958 --> 01:47:02,041
Shaz.

1638
01:47:02,125 --> 01:47:04,666
You did so good.

1639
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,375
Well done. I'll get you a drink.

1640
01:47:08,958 --> 01:47:10,083
- Hello.
- Hello.

1641
01:47:10,166 --> 01:47:12,041
Hi. You must be Javed's father.

1642
01:47:12,583 --> 01:47:14,375
You should be so proud of Javed.

1643
01:47:14,750 --> 01:47:17,041
Thanks, Miss Clay, for everything.

1644
01:47:17,333 --> 01:47:19,916
Oh. Well, you did the work.
You're the writer.

1645
01:47:21,416 --> 01:47:22,416
Son...

1646
01:47:24,625 --> 01:47:26,291
This Bruce Springsteen,

1647
01:47:26,791 --> 01:47:27,871
are you sure he's American?

1648
01:47:28,500 --> 01:47:30,958
Yes. And not Jewish.

1649
01:47:31,041 --> 01:47:32,041
I read his songs.

1650
01:47:32,125 --> 01:47:35,708
He said work hard,
don't give up, respect your parents.

1651
01:47:35,791 --> 01:47:37,311
This man must be Pakistani.

1652
01:47:39,208 --> 01:47:42,916
Son... write your stories, yes.

1653
01:47:44,333 --> 01:47:45,625
But don't forget ours.

1654
01:47:47,833 --> 01:47:48,833
Hmm?

1655
01:47:49,625 --> 01:47:50,625
Come.

1656
01:48:04,416 --> 01:48:05,958
- All packed?
- Yeah.

1657
01:48:06,041 --> 01:48:08,541
- I've made some food for you.
- Mum...

1658
01:48:09,708 --> 01:48:11,208
I meant to give you this.

1659
01:48:11,458 --> 01:48:14,041
It's amazing what a good price
I got for my Bruce collection.

1660
01:48:14,916 --> 01:48:15,956
I can easily replace that.

1661
01:48:26,791 --> 01:48:28,000
<i>Beta.</i>

1662
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,375
J! J!

1663
01:48:51,791 --> 01:48:53,875
Mate. Hot off the press.

1664
01:48:54,833 --> 01:48:55,958
New demo.

1665
01:48:56,875 --> 01:48:58,125
Listen, thanks for the lyrics.

1666
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:00,320
Plenty more where they came from.

1667
01:49:04,666 --> 01:49:07,166
Right, I'm off for a sound check.

1668
01:49:07,458 --> 01:49:10,208
I'll try and wing you some free tickets
when we go on tour, yeah?

1669
01:49:10,750 --> 01:49:12,333
- See you later.
- See you later, mate.

1670
01:49:12,708 --> 01:49:13,791
Oi!

1671
01:49:23,500 --> 01:49:25,791
This is it. Me in Manchester.

1672
01:49:26,041 --> 01:49:27,291
Me in Leicester.

1673
01:49:27,375 --> 01:49:29,735
- We're gonna get to that place.
- Where we really wanna go.

1674
01:49:29,916 --> 01:49:31,750
We'll walk in the sun.

1675
01:49:32,416 --> 01:49:33,875
Bruce!

1676
01:49:44,416 --> 01:49:45,583
I'm gonna miss you.

1677
01:49:47,125 --> 01:49:49,125
Come on, Dad. Let's go.

1678
