[SUE CHEYENNES 'THIS IS
YOUR LIFE, TIIIIIY LEA' PLAYS]
, .
.
Ever thought about window cleaners?
They spend their days
looking into hundreds of little boxes,
many of which have got people In.
AH sorts of people.
That's mo!
What about that physique, eh? Oo
A bit Steve McQueen, Isn't It?
No wonder the birds go crazy for mo.
Favourite gear
I: a white nylon T-shlrt.
Because when you wet It, you can
press It up against the window.
And then give them a little smile.
Well, nlce for the old ones.
Makes ll sort of Remembrance Day.
[MI]
Still, you can't expect to go potty
on your first day, can you?
Cor, cop a load of that, eh?
What a knocker factory!
She's obviously a pushover
for my brand of animal magnetism.
[MOUTHING]
Plss off!
Whoops! Lost mo balance.
And me bucket.
[MI]
Some of the things you see
are quite an education.
I mean, just look at that shower!
Btlmey, they're big for their age.
They're also Mg for my age.
[YELLS]
[GLASS BREAKS]
[MI]
But aii this was nothing to what I saw
in a shop down the high street.
It aii started with a iittie bit
of window undressing.
I 'vo hoard of your work gelling on lop of
you, but not you gelling on lop of your work!
What a diabolical way
to start a new career.
Flat on me back,
staring up blokes' trouser legs.
And along comes this bird. If It hadn't been
for her, I might have jacked It In right away.
Because she awoke In mo deep-rooted
feelings of senslllvlly and delicacy
I never knew! had.
Never knew I could say.
In fact, one look at Elizabeth
and I fell like a pal! of lead knickers.
She was the type of girl you say,
"Please, may I? before you give her one.
A card, I mean.
Because Sid did promise me a piece of
the action with any new customers. Cori
Wouldn't have minded
a place of her action.
What are you trying to do, ruln ma?
One broken window,
one bucketed traffic warden
threatening to sue, and now you
tell me you lost your squeegee.
I muet've dropped It under the crowd.
And that': another thlng.
I pay you
to clean windows.
If you wanna Ila on the floor and look up
skirts, you do It In your own time, right?
But I told you, It was shock. They
were having It off In the window.
So? Have you got
a sax hang-up or something?
Ho, but I thought
she had three lags.
Look, Tlmmy boy, In our business
you've got to be Immune from shocks,
especially from hlrds,
three-lagged or one-lagged.
As long as they are
satisfied customers...
they hrlng In new ones.
Hay, I mot a real
knockout this morning.
Fabulous face, fantastic body,
lag: rlght up to her armpits.
What about her windows?
Windows?
Oh, I gave her a card.
It': no good
just chatting up dolly hlrds.
You've gotta grease the old hag: too.
Ta.
It': not all Raquel Walch pulling
you onto her dumplings, you know.
[CAR APPROACHES]
Christ, what also
did you do?
Hello. As we were pssslng, I just thought
I'd stop and see If you were all rlght.

What's all that, than?
It was her.
Who?
The hlrd, I told you.
Have you gone stark raving bonkers,
trying to chat up female fuzz?
I didn't know who she was. But I don't care, Sld.
Oh, Isn't she a knockout?
Oh, yeah, you picked
the rlght word, boy.
What I wouldn't do for her.
Wall, I'm more worrlad about what
you wouldn't do for my customers.
What do you mean, ah?
I mean, I've got to he sure, If some
hlrd offer: to squeeze out your chamole,

To get a professional
opinion.
Tim: Mind you, I didn't like
id admii ii, but Sid was right.
My sex Hfe held as much sensation
as a concrete contraceptive.
In fact, I could describe myself as
the walking answer to contraception.
I don't do It!
With mo, It': more a can of good
kiss, good fool and good night.
NM ilk! Sid.

That's what I was trying to do.
You're sweet.
But you're impossible.
That's what Sld says.
Impossible, I mean.

Ever thought about window cleaners?
They spend their days
looking into hundreds of little boxes,
many of which have got people In.
AH sorts of people.
That's mo!
What about that physique, eh? Oo
A bit Steve McQueen, Isn't It?
No wonder the birds go crazy for mo.
Favourite gear
I: a white nylon T-shlrt.
Because when you wet It, you can
press It up against the window.
And then give them a little smile.
Well, nlce for the old ones.
Makes ll sort of Remembrance Day.
[MI]
Still, you can't expect to go potty
on your first day, can you?
Cor, cop a load of that, eh?
What a knocker factory!
She's obviously a pushover

[GLASS BREAKS]

But aii this was nothing to what I saw
in a shop down the high street.
It aii started with a iittie bit
of window undressing.
I 'vo hoard of your work gelling on lop of
you, but not you gelling on lop of your work!
What a diabolical way
to start a new career.
Flat on me back,
staring up blokes' trouser legs.
And along comes this bird. If It hadn't been
for her, I might have jacked It In right away.
Because she awoke In mo deep-rooted
feelings of senslllvlly and delicacy
I never knew! had.
Never knew I could say.
In fact, one look at Elizabeth
and I fell like a pal! of lead knickers.
She was the type of girl you say,
"Please, may I? before you give her one.
A card, I mean.
Because Sid did promise me a piece of
the action with any new customers. Cori
Wouldn't have minded
a place of her action.
What are you trying to do, ruln ma?
One broken window,
one bucketed traffic warden
threatening to sue, and now you
tell me you lost your squeegee.
I muet've dropped It under the crowd.
And that': another thlng.
I pay you
to clean windows.
If you wanna Ila on the floor and look up
skirts, you do It In your own time, right?
But I told you, It was shock. They
were having It off In the window.
So? Have you got
a sax hang-up or something?
Ho, but I thought
she had three lags.
Look, Tlmmy boy, In our business
you've got to be Immune from shocks,
especially from hlrds,
three-lagged or one-lagged.
As long as they are
satisfied customers...
they hrlng In new ones.
Hay, I mot a real
knockout this morning.
Fabulous face, fantastic body,
lag: rlght up to her armpits.
What about her windows?
Windows?

I didn't know who she was. But I don't care, Sld.
Oh, Isn't she a knockout?
Oh, yeah, you picked
