She wrote it for when I was eighteen, but I opened it.
This is probably my favourite scene of the movie. The first part is so touching and beautiful and it gets me every time. The second part is just AWESOME, with them crazy dancing and acting silly XD we also see Billy's family enjoying the music/dancing in their very own way :) Also, Julie Walters and Jamie Bell are absolutely AMAZING ♥
Mrs Wilkinson: Brought your things?
Billy: I don't know if they're right, Miss.
Mrs Wilkinson: If they're special to you, they're right.
Billy: What are they for?
Mrs Wilkinson: To give us some ideas for a dance. Come on then, let's see 'em!
[*Billy takes his things out of the bag*]
Mrs Wilkinson: What's that?
Billy: It's a letter.
Mrs Wilkinson: I can see it's a letter!
Billy: It's me mam's. She wrote it for when I was eighteen, but I opened it.
[*He hands her the letter*]
Billy: Here.
Mrs Wilkinson: "To my son Billy. Dear Billy, I know I must seem like a distant memory to you, which is probably a good thing. It will have been a long time and I will have missed seeing you grow, missed you crying, laughing and shouting...."
Billy: "...laughing and shouting. I will have missed telling you off. But please know that I was always there..."
Mrs Wilkinson: "...with you, through everything."
Billy: "...with you, through everything. And I always will be. And I am proud to have known you, and I am proud that you were mine. Always be yourself. I'll love you forever."
Mrs Wilkinson: "Mam." She must have been a very special woman, your mother.
Billy: No, she was just me mam. I brought a tape an' all.
Mrs Wilkinson: What is it?
Billy: "I love to boogie". It's one of our Tony's.
