“Watchman” Pinter in the summary


A room littered with all sorts of junk. In the back wall there is a window curtained with sacking. A bucket is suspended from the ceiling. In the room there are two iron beds, one of which sits Mick. Hearing that the front door slams, he gets up and leaves slowly. Aston and Davis enter. Davis was very tired and excited: he was fired from a snack bar, where he worked, and, in addition, was almost beaten. Aston, who accidentally dropped by this evening into a snack bar, literally saved him and brought him to his place. Davis is very grateful to him for that. Davis always remembers how the non-Russians were sitting quietly, while he, the Englishman, had nowhere to stumble and had to work without rest. When Davis was told to take out a bucket of scum, he flared up: it’s not his job. He though a tramp, but no worse than others and right at it no less. He did not have time to pick up his bag from the snack bar, she remained in the back room, and in it – all of his things. Aston

promises to drop by sometime and bring Davis a bag. Davis asks if Aston does not have an extra pair of shoes. Searching under the bed, Aston gives Davis shoes. He tries on, thinks out loud, finally decides that they do not suit him: he has a wide leg, and his shoes have a sharp sock, he does not pass in them for a long time. Davis, after all, has to walk a lot to get himself settled. Aston suggests that Davis stay with him until he settles down: there is a second bed in the room. Throughout the conversation, Aston repairs the fork of the old toaster. He says that he likes to work with his hands, that’s going to build a shed in the yard… Having found out that Davis is tight with money, Aston gives him a couple of coins. Davis is waiting to be cleared up, then he will go to Sidkap, where his documents are. Fifteen years ago, in the war, he gave them up to keep his acquaintance, and so far he has not taken it. With the documents it will be much easier, because there everything about him is written: who he is and where, or he lives under a false name. His real name is Mac Davis, and everyone knows him as Bernard
Jenkins. Suddenly, Davis notices a bucket at the top. Aston explains that the roof is leaking. Davis asks permission to lie on the bed of Aston. Davis goes to bed. Aston continues to poke around in the fork. In the morning Aston wakes Davis, says that that night he was making a noise: he moaned, muttered. Davis does not believe. Dreams to him, like Aston, never dreamed, why would he mumble? Davis suggests that the niggers living in the neighborhood were making noise. Aston is going to leave. Davis thinks he must leave too, but Aston allows him to stay and gives the keys to the room and the front door. Davis wants to go later in Wembley: once there people were needed, maybe he could manage to get settled. They want to get rid of foreigners there, that some Englishmen pour tea, he hopes that they will take him. Aston leaves. After waiting a few minutes, Davis starts rummaging in the trash heaped in the room. He does not notice Mick entering, who is watching him, then grabs his hand and twists it behind his back. Mick looks around the room, not letting Davis get up, then asks him: “What are we playing at?” He asks Davis what his name is. “Jenkins,” says Davis. Mick says that Davis, like two drops of water, is like his uncle’s brother. His name is Sid. Mick could never understand how this Sid is a brother to his uncle. He often thought that everything was the opposite, that is, that his uncle was Sid’s brother. Eventually, Sid married a Chinese woman and left for Jamaica. Mick asks, as Davis liked his room. Davis is surprised: Is this Mick’s room? Mick asks several times how Davis slept, and several times specifies which of the beds he slept on. Davis tries to drag his pants off the hanger, but Mick does not let him do it. Mick says that the bed on which Davis slept is his bed, and the second is his mother’s bed. He calls Davis a crook. He says he could get three hundred and fifty pounds a year for his apartment. If you add furniture and equipment, taxes, heating and water to it, you get eight hundred and ninety pounds. He offers Davis to sign a contract for renting an apartment, otherwise he will surrender Davis to the police and plant him for violating the integrity of the home, vagrancy, robbery in broad daylight, etc. He asks Davis what bank he has in his account. Aston enters. Mick turns around and drops Davis’s pants. Aston goes to his bed, puts a bag on her and again begins to repair the toaster. A drop drips into the bucket on the ceiling. Everyone is picking up the Heads. Aston promises to grind slots on the roof. He says he brought Davis’s bag, but Mick immediately grabs her and does not want to give it to Davis. All long pull out a bag from each other from hands. Finally, Davis still manages to take her away. A drop falls into the bucket again. Everyone’s bumping their heads again. Mick leaves. Davis asks Aston about Mick. Aston says that Mick is his brother, he works in the construction business, he has his own van. The house belongs to Mick, and Aston promised him to finish the whole floor so that there was an apartment here. Aston will build a barn in the yard, make a workshop in it, and then he will take up the apartment. Looking at the bag, Davis realizes that this is not his bag. Aston says, that someone had taken his bag away, so that he got it in quite a different place. Davis looks at the clothes that lie in her, criticizes the shirts, but he likes the house jacket. Aston suggests that he stay and look after the house. Davis had never been a watchman before and was rather afraid: suddenly he would go down to open the doorbell, and that would be the Scot who wanted to beat him in a snack bar: he would track him down and come. And there’s something to Davis not worth it. will track him down and come. And there’s something to Davis not worth it. will track him down and come. And there’s something to Davis not worth it.

It’s dark in the room. Davis enters and several times snaps the switch, but the light does not light up. Davis stumbles in the dark, strikes a match, but she quickly burns. He drops the box and can not find it: someone took it. Davis goes forward, falls and screams. Then he gets up, goes again. Suddenly, the vacuum cleaner starts buzzing. The vacuum cleaner slides on the floor behind Davis, he tries to slip away, but falls. The man with the vacuum cleaner is Mick. He says that he was doing spring cleaning, and since the socket is faulty, he switched on the vacuum cleaner in the lamp cartridge. Turning off the vacuum cleaner, he again screws a bulb into the cartridge, and the light is lit. Davis is offended: Mick plays him all the time. Mick treats Davis with a sandwich. He says that his brother’s friends are interested in him. Davis objected: it’s not that they’re friends with Aston, Davis can not figure it out. Mick complains that Aston does not like to work. Mick wants to take matters into his own hands and offers Davis to stay here as a watchman. Mick asks if Davis has any recommendations. Davis responds that his recommendations, as well as other papers, are in Sidkala. As soon as it is settled, it certainly goes there, but only good shoes are needed. Davis asks Mick to get his shoes.

Aston wakes Davis: the old man was going to Sidcup and asked to wake him up. But the weather is not so hot again, besides, Davis did not sleep well: the rain pours directly on his head, from the window he blows. But Aston does not want to close the window: the room is stuffy. Aston advises Davis to sleep with his feet to the window, then the rain does not fall on his head. Aston tells how he had a sort of hallucination. He saw everything very clearly. And then one day he was taken to the hospital, and there the doctor said that he has a chance to recover, but for this it is necessary to do something with his brain. Aston was a minor, so his mother needed permission. Aston hoped that the mother would not consent to the operation, but she signed the paper. Aston tried to escape from the hospital, but he was caught. He resisted and did not want to lie down on the bed, then the doctors put his clamps on his head when he stood, although this was not done. Therefore, when Aston left the hospital, he could not walk, he was tormented by headaches and he could not collect his thoughts. Gradually, he felt better, but he stopped talking to people.

Two weeks later. Mick lies on the floor, laying a folded carpet under his head, and looks up at the ceiling. Davis sits on a chair and talks about the fact that once in a bucket water does not drip, then Aston has smeared with pitch gaps on the roof. He complains to Mick that Aston has completely stopped talking to him. Mick tells how he would like to furnish his house. Davis again complains about Aston. With Mick it is much easier: although Mick has strangeness, but with him, at least, everything is clear. Davis asks Mick to talk to Aston. Davis would have helped Mick bring the house in order, if they had settled down together: he and Mick. Davis asks Mick where he now lives. Mik replies that he has a nice flat, and invites Davis to go to him somehow, to drink together and listen to Tchaikovsky. The front door slams. Mick gets up and leaves. Aston comes in with a large paper bag, in which there are shoes for Davis. Davis says that they do not suit him, in addition they are without laces. Aston finds under the bed shoelaces, and Davis decides to still wear these shoes, until he gets the others. If tomorrow is cleared, he will go to Sidkal in them for his papers. At night Davis moans in a dream and prevents Aston from sleeping. Aston wakes him up, but Davis scolds him for messing around in the house, for the cold, calling him crazy. Aston asks Davis to look for another home, because they do not get along, but Davis does not want to leave, he lives here, he was offered a job here and promised a salary, so let Aston himself search for another home. Davis mentions a knife on Aston, but Aston is not afraid. He takes Davis’s bag, pushes his things in there and throws Davis out. Davis leaves. in addition they are without laces.

Davis complains to Mick on Aston. He advises Mick to drive out his brother. Mick discusses with Davis plan for finishing the room. He is ready to entrust the finishing of rooms to Davis, if he is a first-class interior specialist. But Davis had never done anything like this in his life. Mick says that Davis deceived him: he called himself an experienced decorator. Davis objects: he did not say that he was a decorator. Mick calls him an impostor. Davis thinks that Aston failed him, because he’s crazy. Mick is offended: what right does Davis have to call his brother abnormal? He decides to calculate Davis. Let Aston himself is engaged in this house, he, Mick, has many other concerns, and Davis does not care. Aston enters. The brothers look at each other and barely noticeably smile. Mick leaves. Davis is trying to reconcile with Aston. He is ready to guard the house, and to help Aston build a barn. But Aston does not need Davis’ help. Davis is ready to concede everything to him, but Aston does not want Davis to stay in the house. Davis asks Aston not to drive him away. Aston is silent, turning away from the window. Davis continues to beg Aston, but he does not respond.
