The Full Monty Script - Dialogue Transcript

Voila! Finally, the The Full Monty script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Robert Carlyle, Tom Wilkinson, and Mark Addy movie.  This script is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of The Full Monty. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to drop me a line. You won't hurt my feelings. Honest.

FILM NARRATOR:

Welcome to Sheffield...



 

                   

the beating heart of Britain's

industrial North.



 

                   

The jewel

in Yorkshire's crown...



 

                   

is home to over

half a million people...



 

                   

and thousands more flock here

daily to shop and to work.



 

                   

All this is built on Sheffield's

primary industry--steel.



 

                   

The city's rolling mills,

forges, and workshops...



 

                   

employ some       men and

state-of-the-art machinery...



 

                   

to make

the world's finest steel--



  

                   

from high-tensile girders

to the stainless cutlery...



  

                   

that ends up

on your dining table.



  

                   

But it's not all hard work

for the people of Steel City.



  

                   

They can spend the day

lounging by the pool...



  

                   

watching

one of our top soccer teams...



  

                   

or browsing in the shops.



  

                   

But when the sun goes down,

the fun really starts...



  

                   

in the city's numerous

nightclubs and discotheques.



  

                   

yes, Yorkshire  folk

know how to have a good time...



  

                   

and it's good times

for the city's housing, too.



  

                   

Sheffield

leads the way in town planning.



  

                   

Victorian slums

have been cleared...



  

                   

to make way

for the homes of the future.



  

                   

Thanks to steel...



  

                   

Sheffield

really is a city on the move.



  

                   

DAVE: Gaz,

who's gonna buy a rusty girder?



  

                   

GAZ: Come on.



  

                   

NATHAN: Dad, it's stealing.



  

                   

GAZ: No. It's liberating, luv.

Liberating.



  

                   

DAVE: Gaz, hang on.



  

                   

GAZ: Ten years

we worked in here, and now look.



  

                   

NATHAN: What if we get caught?



  

                   

GAZ: you don't get a criminal

record till you're sixteen.



  

                   

-Just don't tell your mom.

-Hey, listen.



  

                   

DAVE: Music.



  

                   

NATHAN: yeah.



  

                   

[Playing slow march]



  

                   

GAZ: Bloody hell.



  

                   

GAZ: What are they doing?



  

                   

NATHAN: It's the factory band.

They're still going.



  

                   

DAVE: About the only thing

around here that is.



  

                   

Eh up, security guard's back.



  

                   

[Door closing]



  

                   

DAVE:

"Won't take a minute," he says.



  

                   

"Won't take a minute." Now what?



  

                   

GAZ: Shut up. I'm thinking.



  

                   

NATHAN: Can't we do

normal things sometimes?



  

                   

GAZ: What's up with you?

This is normal.



  

                   

DAVE:

Oh, aye, everyday stuff, this.



  

                   

I think this bugger's sinking.



  

                   

GAZ: Right. Now pick it up...



  

                   

and try and slide it

across other side.



  

                   

That's it.



  

                   

Oh, fucking hell, Nathe!



  

                   

They're twenty quid each, them.



  

                   

That were your bloody

maintenance, were that.



  

                   

Oh, shit.



  

                   

DAVE: Oh, nice one.



  

                   

GAZ: Nathe.



  

                   

Nathan.



  

                   

Fuckin' hell!



  

                   

DAVE: Come here, come here.



  

                   

GAZ: Jesus, stay still.



  

                   

Stay still, stay still.



  

                   

All right.



  

                   

DAVE: What's your initiative

say about this, bog eyes?



  

                   

GAZ: Eh up. Someone coming.



  

                   

MAN: All right?



  

                   

GAZ: Ah, not so bad.



  

                   

DAVE: Not so bad? Not so bad?



  

                   

That's not much

of a chuffing SOS, is it?



  

                   

GAZ:

All right, don't get a benny on.



  

                   

Shit.



  

                   

DAVE:

My jeans are bloody soaking.



  

                   

GAZ: Should have taken

your kit off. you shy?



  

                   

DAVE:

Don't. Just shut it, all right?



  

                   

[Gaz laughs]



  

                   

DAVE: Ohh.



  

                   

GAZ: Eh up, Dave.



  

                   

-All right, babe.

-Dad.



  

                   

-What do you reckon, Dave?

-Eight, maybe a nine.



  

                   

GAZ: you can never tell till

you see their tits, can you?



  

                   

-Dad!

-What's all this, then?



  

                   

NATHAN:

It's them Chippendale efforts.



  

                   

GAZ: What?



  

                   

NATHAN: Them dancers.

Mum were going on about it.



  

                   

GAZ: Aw, you're joking.

She must be getting desperate.



  

                   

DAVE: Away, Gaz.



  

                   

you all waiting for me, then?



  

                   

WOMAN: yeah, to go home.



  

                   

GAZ: you know where to find me

when you're tired of them poofs.



  

                   

DAVE: Gaz, I'm freezing.



  

                   

GAZ: "Women only"?

Cheeky buggers.



  

                   

It's a bloody

working men's club.



  

                   

I mean,

look at the state of that.



  

                   

I don't know

what you've got to smile about.



  

                   

I mean, he's got no willy

for starters, has he?



  

                   

There's nowt in the gym

No decent woman would be

seen dead in there.



  

                   

Jean would.



   

                   

Oh, Dave, what's going on?



   

                   

It's her money, isn't it?



   

                   

Fucking hell.

you gonna just stand there...



   

                   

while some poof's waving

his tackle at your missis?



   

                   

Where's your pride, man?

She's already got you hoovering.



   

                   

I saw it, and I let it go.

But this, no, no, no.



   

                   

you get her out of there

and tell her what for.



   

                   

NATHAN:

He can't. It's women only.



   

                   

DAVE: Just hurry up, will you?

Me feet have gone numb.



   

                   

GAZ: That's gratitude for you.



   

                   

We're riding into "Alley

of Death" for you, you fat git.



   

                   

DAVE: It's not my fault

I can't fit through, is it?



   

                   

GAZ: All right, then.



   

                   

I'll be waiting here,

keeping guard.

wants a word outside, all right?



   

                   

-Do I have to?

-Good kid. On you go.



   

                   

[Music playing]



   

                   

[Cheering]



   

                   

WOMEN:

Off! Off! Off! Off!



   

                   

JEAN: Ooh, I'm not waiting

in that bloody queue.



   

                   

SHARON: I've always wanted

a nosey in the men's toilet.



   

                   

BEE: Phoor, them bloody muscles.



   

                   

JEAN: No, no,

it's not their bodies, Bee.



   

                   

It's what they do with them

that counts.



   

                   

SHARON: I don't know

what you're worrying about...



   

                   

you-know-who on your tail.



   

                   

BEE SINGING:

Frankie, do you want my body?



   

                   

JEAN:

Hey, Frank don't fancy me...



   

                   

and I don't fancy Frank,

so bloody well give over.



   

                   

Do you think he might, though?



   

                   

No, couldn't do that to Dave.



   

                   

Not even if I wanted to.



   

                   

But it's like he's given up.



   

                   

Work, me, everything.



   

                   

Ah, luv.



   

                   

Here, luv, this'll cheer you up.



   

                   

[Urinating]



   

                   

[Women laughing]



   

                   

BEE: I weren't

in Girl Scouts for nothing.



   

                   

DAVE: Gaz.



   

                   

Gaz.

That were our Jean, weren't it?



   

                   

GAZ: No, no.

Just a couple of old tarts.



   

                   

Going back in for Nathe.



   

                   

[Donna Summer's

"Hot Stuff" plays]



   

                   

GAZ: you're in big trouble.



   

                   

NATHAN: What about Auntie Jean?



   

                   

GAZ: Auntie Jean's busy.



   

                   

NATHAN: I don't feel well.



   

                   

GAZ: Of course you don't.

you've got an hangover.



   

                   

Take a day off.

Hang about at home.



   

                   

NATHAN: your house is messy.

It's cold and all.



   

                   

GAZ: Then come down Jobclub.

That'll be a right laugh.



   

                   

NATHAN:

Mum's house is always warm.



   

                   

GAZ: I can't always have

the red carpet out for you.



   

                   

Anyway,

it's not your mum's house.



   

                   

It's what's-his-name--Barry's.



   

                   

Tell you what.



   

                   

Next weekend,

I'll have a big tidy around.



   

                   

I promise.

Even go and see a footie game.



   

                   

NATHAN: yeah?



   

                   

GAZ: yeah. Sunday League

going down the park...



   

                   

has got some right good players.



   

                   

NATHAN: United playing Man U,

aren't they?



   

                   

GAZ: Oh, Nathe, you know

I can't stretch to that.



   

                   

NATHAN: you're always

making me do stupid stuff.



   

                   

Other dads don't do that.



   

                   

GAZ: Don't they? Aye.



   

                   

NATHAN: Aye.



   

                   

GAZ: Hey, Nathe.



   

                   

We could try

and sneak into Man U.



   

                   

Terry were telling us

about this gap in fence.



   

                   

NATHAN: No!



   

                   

GAZ: All right.

I'll get tickets. I will.



   

                   

Ooh, ah, Cantona,

has to wear a girlie bra.



   

                   

Stuff 'em, Nathe.



   

                   

Fuck.



   

                   

MANAGER: I want your

application letters finished...



   

                   

by the time I get back, right?



   

                   

Any problems, I'm outside.



   

                   

GAZ: I tell you, when women

start pissing like us...



   

                   

that's it.



   

                   

We're finished, Dave.



   

                   

Extincto.



   

                   

DAVE: yeah, I mean, how?



   

                   

you know?



   

                   

TERRY:

Genetic mutations, isn't it?



   

                   

They're turning into us.



   

                   

GAZ: A few years,

and men won't exist...



   

                   

except in a zoo or something.



   

                   

We're not needed no more,

are we?



   

                   

Obsolete. Dinosaurs.



   

                   

yesterday's news.



   

                   

Like skateboards.



   

                   

GERALD: Button it. Some of us

are trying to get a job.



   

                   

Hey, it says no smoking in here.



   

                   

GAZ: Oh, and it says

Jobclub up there...



   

                   

and when were the last time

you saw one of them walk in?



   

                   

you forget, Gerald,

you're not our foreman anymore.



   

                   

you're just like

the rest of us--scrap.



   

                   

Shut it, right?



   

                   

DAVE: Hang on, then.



   

                   

Why were all them women

in working men's club?



   

                   

Now, then,

because of us--men.



   

                   

GAZ:

you call them Chippendales men?



   

                   

Degrading, that's what it were.



   

                   

How many lasses were there,

though?



   

                   

Thousands, baying for blood.



   

                   

Ten quid to watch some fucking

poof get his kit off.



   

                   

DAVE: Right. Times ten quid

by a thousand, right?



   

                   

And you've got...



   

                   

yeah, well, a lot--a very lot.



   

                   

Ten thousand quid.



   

                   

-How much?

-Ten thousand quid.



   

                   

Hey, now, Dave, it's worth

a thought, though, isn't it?



   

                   

GERALD: Oh, aye. Could just see

Little and Large...



   

                   

prancing around Sheffield

with their widgers hanging out.



   

                   

Now that would be worth

ten quid.



   

                   

GAZ: Don't be so bloody daft.

We were just saying--



   

                   

GERALD: Widgers on parade.

Bring your own microscope.



   

                   

I don't see

why the chuff not, Gerald.



   

                   

Because you're fat,

and he's thin...



   

                   

and you're both fucking ugly.



   

                   

GAZ: Fucking bastard.



   

                   

GAZ: What's all this

about sole custody?



   

                   

you know what it is, Gary.



   

                   

If you want joint custody,

you have to pay your share--



   

                   

seven hundred quid.



   

                   

I'm on dole,

in case you hadn't noticed.



   

                   

Then get a job.

I'll get you a job.



   

                   

At two pound fifty an hour in

black hole of fucking Calcutta?



   

                   

No, thank you.



   

                   

Fine. If you want to go off

and play your games, Gary...



   

                   

then you do that, but Nathan's

gonna have two parents.



   

                   

GAZ: your bloody live-in lover's

gonna do that, is he?



   

                   

Abracadabra.

Here he is. Evening, Barry.



   

                   

That'll be for court to decide.



   

                   

No, it won't.

Nathan's yours and he's mine...



   

                   

and he's fuck all

to do with him !



   

                   

BARRY:

As if you've ever given a toss.



   

                   

MANDY: Face it, Gary.



   

                   

He don't even like

staying at your house.



   

                   

Of course he bloody does.

Ask him.



   

                   

Ask him.



   

                   

Nathe,

we have a laugh, don't we, kid?



   

                   

Gary, don't.



   

                   

GAZ: Is he in? Is he in?!



   

                   

Nathe!



   

                   

Well, he can't hear you through

your triple bloody glazing.



   

                   

MANDY: He can hear, all right.



   

                   

This is all wrong, this is.



   

                   

It's all to fucking cock.



   

                   

I'm his dad,

and you, you're nobody.



   

                   

Yorkshire: Good night, Gary.



   

                   

GAZ: Night, Nathe.



   

                   

See you, kid.



   

                   

DAVE: No, not doing it.

I'm not stripping.



   

                   

GAZ:

Dave, they're taking him away.



   

                   

All I need

is seven hundred quid.



   

                   

DAVE: Gaz, no.



   

                   

GAZ: Dave, he's me kid.



   

                   

I suppose there's nicking cars.



   

                   

-No.

-Well, then?



   

                   

DAVE: Look, I'll help.

I'm running now, aren't l?



   

                   

But I'm taking nowt off, final.



   

                   

GAZ:

Come on, Dave. Don't stop now.



   

                   

Keep up, you fat bastard.



   

                   

DAVE: Gazza, you tosser.



   

                   

[Ignition on car

tries to turn over]



   

                   

DAVE: you need a hand?



   

                   

yeah, it's your HT leads,

I reckon.



   

                   

Give it a go at that.



   

                   

[Engine starts]



   

                   

DAVE: Didn't you work at

Harrisons before it shut down?



   

                   

yeah, thought I clocked you.



   

                   

I were on't floor with Gaz,

him up the road.



   

                   

How's it going, then?



   

                   

you got any work?



   

                   

No, there's not a lot about,

is there?



   

                   

Like I say, get some new ones

when you get the chance.



   

                   

No, no, my chuffing pleasure.



   

                   

GAZ: Dave?



   

                   

-Are you all right, kid?

-you bastard.



   

                   

[Lomper coughing]



   

                   

LOMPER: Hey, hey!



   

                   

[Pounding on window]



   

                   

you could shoot yourself.



   

                   

GAZ: Where's he gonna

find a gun around here?



   

                   

you want to find yourself

a big bridge, you do.



   

                   

DAVE: yeah, like one of them

bungee jumps...



   

                   

only without the bungee bit.



   

                   

I can't stand heights, me.



   

                   

DAVE: Drowning.

Now there's a way to go.



   

                   

I can't swim.



   

                   

GAZ: you don't have

to fucking swim, you divvy.



   

                   

That's the whole point.



   

                   

God, you're not very keen,

are you?



   

                   

Sorry.



   

                   

I know.



   

                   

you could stand

in middle of road...



   

                   

and get a mate to drive

smack into you right fast.



   

                   

Haven't got any mates.



   

                   

GAZ: Listen, we just saved

your fucking life...



   

                   

so don't tell us

we're not your mates, all right?



   

                   

Really?



   

                   

DAVE: yeah. I'd run you down

soon as look at you.



   

                   

Oh, cheers.



   

                   

Ta.



   

                   

Thanks a lot.



   

                   

[Gasping for breath]



   

                   

-What are you doing, Mum?

-Where have you been?



   

                   

LOMPER: Driving.



   

                   

MOTHER: Driving where?



   

                   

LOMPER: Just driving.



   

                   

MOTHER: I thought you'd gone.



   

                   

GAZ: Security guard in here?



   

                   

No wonder

he wants to kill himself.



   

                   

DAVE:

At least one bloke got a job...



   

                   

out of this place

being shut down.



   

                   

What did you tell him for,

any road? Kid's a nutter.



   

                   

GAZ: He's a bugle player.



   

                   

Could come in right handy.

Might need a bit of music.



   

                   

He's got a car...



   

                   

somewhere to practice.



   

                   

Besides, good what's-its-name

for the lad--therapy.



   

                   

DAVE: Oh, aye, jiggling about

in the buff, therapy.



   

                   

He won't be the only one

trying to kill himself...



   

                   

if you carry on

with this caper.



   

                   

NATHAN: Dad, I'm hungry.



   

                   

GAZ: Eh up.



   

                   

[Car horn honks]



   

                   

DAVE: Hey, Lomper...



   

                   

where's me rice?



   

                   

Try the cylinder head, tubby.



   

                   

NATHAN: I don't like Chinese.



   

                   

GAZ:

Of course you do, don't you?



   

                   

DAVE: Let's see his records.



   

                   

GAZ: What we got, then, Dave?



   

                   

DAVE: "The Floral Dance."



   

                   

-"Marching with Hepworth."

-Jesus Christ.

NATHAN: Dad, don't.



   

                   

GAZ: No, it's all right, Nathan.



   

                   

This is right.

I've seen 'em do it.



   

                   

DAVE ON SPEAKER:

Good evening, Sheffield--

GAZ:

It's miles home. you know that.



   

                   

Why did you run off like that?



   

                   

you're embarrassed, aren't you?



   

                   

you think your own dad's

We're not doing this

I'm trying to get

some brass together...



   

                   

so as you and me

can keep seeing each other.



   

                   

They're trying to stop us,

you see.



   

                   

Well, I may as well not bother,

except I'm your dad.



   

                   

That counts for summat,

We're missing the rumba.



   

                   

GERALD: Sorry, luv. I was

just having a bit of a chat...



   

                   

with some pals of mine

from work.



   

                   

LINDA: Oh.



   

                   

Not thinking

of joining our class?



   

                   

GAZ:

Funny you should mention it.



   

                   

GERALD: I think we'd better be

LINDA: Good.

you've been working too hard.



   

                   

About time you let

do the lion's share

for a change.



   

                   

I wish you'd be firmer, Gerald.

Things are looking up.



   

                   

you said so yourself.

you'll love skiing.



   

                   

Linda...



   

                   

Oh, don't matter.



   

                   

Bye.



   

                   

Hey, Gaz.



   

                   

Off to the office, are we,

Torvill?



   

                   

GERALD: As a matter of fact,

Put it back!



   

                   

See that?

And I won't have to look

at your ugly mugs ever again.



   

                   

GAZ: We just need a bit of help.



   

                   

GERALD: I'm sorry, pal.



   

                   

There's nothing I can do

to help the likes of you.

Sorry?



   

                   

What we're asking, Gerald, is...



   

                   

after such a long layoff...

Now what?



   

                   

She's still got

Why can't you just tell her?



   

                   

How can I tell her

after six months?



   

                   

A woman who wants to go

skiing for us holidays.



   

                   

[Laughing]



   

                   

Skiing, for fuck's sake!



   

                   

Why did you do it?

It had to be my...job.

It's marvelous, this.



   

                   

GAZ: We were thinking...

DAVE: Look, Gaz,

trailing you all over town?



   

                   

GERALD: I don't know.

It's not my kind of dancing.



   

                   

It's all arse-wiggling.

It's amazing how tiring it is

Of course. Just Jean, isn't it?



   

                   

DAVE: Got any of them

mint chocolates, Nathe?



   

                   

-Get lost. you're on a diet.

-Don't you start.



   

                   

GAZ: Right,

Well, you know

what this means, Dave.



   

                   

DAVE:

Oh, no. Come on, Gaz. Why me?



   

                   

GAZ:

I've got "serial killer"

written on me forehead.



   

                   

If you're not going to dance,

do something useful instead.



   

                   

DAVE: What if Jean finds out?

GAZ: Bit of this, bit of that,

bit of the other.



   

                   

Just a bit of advertising

for some mates.



   

                   

Oh, aye.



   

                   

And who's gonna come and see

whether we do it or don't.



   

                   

We can either forget it,

go back to fucking Jobclub...

are too big.



   

                   

That's different. We're blokes.

LOMPER: I never said owt

about her personality.



    

                   

She's probably quite nice

if you get to know her.



    

                   

No, and they won't say nowt

about your personality, neither.



    

                   

Which is good, 'cause

you're basically a bastard.



    

                   

Bollocks to your personality.

they're looking at, right?

yeah, got that.

If that's what you call it.



    

                   

Well, if it's all there,

how come it's not working?



    

                   

What do you mean, in what sense?



    

                   

It's not working in the sense

that it's not working.



    

                   

No, I can't speak up.



    

                   

Nothing's happening,
