Aren't they the most necessary things ever?
If you want to slip a ring on my finger,
you'll first slip these shoes on my feet.
- A tad posh for life in Northampton, wouldn't you say?
- Then good thing we're moving to London!
And won't they make a fitting farewell
to the stink of cattle farms and tanning leather?
We may have been born in a small factory town,
but we sure as hell don't have to die there.
- You see the price?
There's three months' rent.
- Pinch 'em or pay for 'em, that's up to you,
but these shoes are in my future.

- Your father would be proud to see you
standing here, Mr. Price.
- Oh, cripes, George, you've known me all my life.
Call me Charlie.
- Price & Son must have a Mr. Price, Mr. Price.
- I'm glad you brought that up.
Now, you see, my father always assumed that one day,
I'd take over the factory, but I never said I would.
- Excuse me, sir, if you could just,
they're waiting below. - Huh?
- A word or two, sir.
They'd appreciate hearing from the new head of Price & Son.
- [Charlie] Oh, that's not really necessary--
- Just a word, sir.
- Oi, oi, quiet down!
The little prince got somethin' to say.
- Hello, hi.
(audience laughing)
Cheers.
Thanks for the flowers and the notes, and whatnot.
- Perhaps a word of encouragement about the future.
- Yes.
Let's keep making shoes,
great shoes.
And good luck with that.
- Wow, that wanker's got a way with words.
- Mr. Price, come quick!
Chambers' have sent back their entire shoe order!
- After you, Mr. Price.
- Can someone sign so I can get the rest of these shoes
off me truck?
- Is there something wrong with them?
- Ask someone who cares.
Sign all three copies.
- All right, Pat, I guess we should put
these in the store room.
- The Chambers' winter shoe order is already in there.
- What are these?
- The Chambers' spring shoe order.
- And we're currently manufacturing?
- The Chambers' summer shoe order, and it's a big one.
- You telling me we have a year's worth of shoes
and no one to buy them?
- It started some time back.
Chambers cut down orders, but cutting back production
would have meant cutting back workers' hours,
and your father wouldn't hear of it.
- I would have thought he'd told you,
but then you were busy at university and with your girl.
- Yeah, but what's to be done with all these shoes?
- Once or twice, your father sold overstock
to the discount chains.
- So it's happened before?
- Never as bad as this.
- Actually, of late, he seemed less concerned.
He said he'd settled on some sort of plan!
- Sort of plan?
What sort of plan?

Not bad for a discount shoe salesman, eh?
- Really terrific, Harry.
To you. - To your father, yeah?
He was a gent.
- And to yours.
(yelling comically)
- Ooh! (laughs)
Well, mate, I assume you didn't come all the way to London
just to buy me a drink.
- Yeah, seems like we find ourselves with 600 pairs
of brogues and no buyer.
- Chambers finally canceled your orders completely,
yeah, I heard.
- But then I remembered the time your father
found his stock short, and my dad, at no small expense,
took on the task of filling the shortfall.
- No fair conjuring ancient history.
- Look, I'll give 'em to you at cost.
Cost, Harry, for old time's sake.
- (groan) You see these, Charlie?
I import them from Slovakia and sell them
at a fraction of your cost.
- But they're shite.
(audience laughing)
A Price shoe will last a man a lifetime.
The poor sod who buys these will need new ones in a season.
- And I'll be right there to sell him a pair
at a very affordable price.
- Oi, ever hear the saying poor people stay poor
because they buy cheap shoes?
- You ever hear the saying no matter how far down
the wrong road you've gone, turn back?
Selling off inventory's only gonna prolong the inevitable.
But tell me, Charlie, is manufacturing shoes
really what you had your cap set on?
- Is selling cheap imports your aspiration?
- If my life was nothing more than shoes,
you'd find me swinging by my tie from a steam pipe.
My guitar, my mates, and music are my escape.
It ain't perfect, but it's what I got.

Over at the Whitcomb factory, they noted a lack
of all-weather hiking shoes, so?
(Charlie sighs)
They started making all-weather hiking shoes
and saved the factory.
Toby's has started making sandals.
All the sods who survived went out looking
for an underserved niche market and aimed to fill the void.

Charlie, we have an appointment.
If we lose this hall, we'll wind up gettin' married
in a fish and chip shop.
- Yeah, now that sounds like fun!
- Are you seriously standing me up?
- Come on, Nic, do we really need a showy wedding?
In the end, shouldn't it be about us?

as a couple, are going to be.

Don, Maggie, Trish--
- Oh, bloody hell!
I forgot to ask Maggie to be a bridesmaid.
She'd like that, wouldn't she?

Honestly, Nic, wouldn't saving all those people's jobs
tell the world a little bit more about us
than having a fancy party in a pair of 900-quid shoes
you're only gonna wear once?
Talk about your niche market.
(bright music)
Talk about your niche market.
- Talk about what niche market?
- Take what you've got, change the product,
find an underserved nice market, and they certainly are
a completely underserved niche market!

In any case, those are not transvestites.
They're drag queens.

- Exactly the right amount.
- For a man, but you're wearing women's boots.
- And I thought you weren't paying attention.
- Well, it's all wrong.
- Hasn't stopped me yet.
- A heel made for a woman cannot possibly support
a man's weight.
You need something special.
- And I deserve something special.

are everywhere like you say,
then there must be a niche market

Charlie, my boy, I abandoned the provinces years ago,
and your fellow Don in there was a stellar reminder why.
- Forget about Don, he's just--
- Just like every other man in Northampton.
Charlie, (sighs)
I've lived this life once, I'm not doing it again.
- Oh, so you head back to London and I'm here,
trying to save a factory that four generations
of my family poured their life's blood into?
- Get to the part that applies to me.
(audience laughing)
- I'm willing to gamble the fate of this whole enterprise
on you as a designer.
- Me, a designer? (laughs)
Now who's kidding who?
Hand me glitter, feathers, and a hot glue gun,
and I can make the world a pretty place.
But me, a designer?
- I've been force-fed shoes since childhood,
but I never seen nothing like what you just drew.
- They're drawings,
the silly scribblings of a braggarty sissy boy
who doesn't know when to shut his gob.
Oh, have a gander at me, Charlie.
I wouldn't trust me to babysit a cactus.
(audience laughing)
- You are passionate about shoes.
I haven't heard anyone talk about a heel that way since,
(laughs) well, not since my father.
You know how rare it is to feel that way about something?
You know how jealous I am?
I never been passionate about nothin'.
Well, maybe snoggin'.
- Ah, but you're forgetting something.
I don't know how to make a shoe.
- It just so happens I do!
If we're to succeed, we'll need to produce a boot
unlike anything anyone has ever seen before.
That's where you come in.
And if we don't want to be laughed out of Milan,
they'll have to be executed so impeccably
that no one can deny we're comers to be reckoned with,
and that, God help us, is where I come in.
Three weeks.
Three weeks, Lola, that's all I'm asking.
- Is that a taxi or a police car?
Guess I'll find out when I offer him money.
- Opportunity has fallen into your lap!
The easy thing, maybe even the sensible thing
would be to walk off and have a laugh
about the time some nutter offered you a job
designing kinky boots.
But I promise, if you do, the rest of your life,
you'll wonder what if I'd said yes?
What if I'd stayed?
- A designer? (sighs)
A designer!

I guess I could get used to the name Kinky Boots.

We can show you the papers.
Look, Richard came to me first lest you think
your father doubted you could run the business.
But don't look so down.
This is all good news!

settle your family's debts, and ensure our future

- I suppose I should thank you for not crippling him.
- Anything for the war effort.
(Charlie laughs)
- Charlie.
Lola.
- Congratulations.
(audience laughing)
- Thanks.
- Why don't I leave you two lovebirds to make up?
- They say vodka's your preferred.
(glasses clink softly)
So why'd you do it?
Why'd you let me win?
- Really?
- Really.
- Because I didn't want you to walk
into the factory tomorrow and feel disrespected.
- How 'bout you?
- Ha, compared to my challenge,
losing a fight is like a polka in the pansies.
(audience laughing)
- "Accept someone for who they are."
What's that mean?
(Lola scoffs)
(audience laughing)
- Just what it says.
- You lookin' for me to say men in frocks is all right?
- I ain't lookin' for you to say anything.
- "Accept someone for who they are."
(audience laughing)
How's that make me a man?
- Try it.
- Anyone? - Anyone at all.
- And that's it?
- Good luck!
(audience laughing)
(energetic rock music)
(Lauren and Pat arguing)
- [Lauren] But you have no idea what you're doing either!
We're in the same hole!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, everyone just stop talking!
Now, one of you, please, cut to the chase.
- We miscalculated.
The Milan trip is going to cost more than we budgeted.
- No, it can't cost more because we have no more.
- It's me, I'm the blunderer.
I never factored in land transport in Milan.
- Or the import taxes.
- No, I planned for the taxes on the samples,
but only one pair of each.
I know, stupid. (Charlie groans)
- Not brilliant.
- Well, it's all your fault for putting me in charge.
What do I know about producing a bloody fashion show
in bleedin' Italy?
- If we don't get our boots to Milan,
then all this work will have been for nothing!
- How about we call the bank?
Maybe seeing how close we are, they'd carry us.
- Good day, Mr. Banker.
We've gone tits up making the best shoes in England,
but we've chucked all that to make boots for trans-gentries.
How'd you like to bunk in with us?
- It would be an awful burden, I know,
but how about a short-term mortgage on your new flat?
- I just did that!
That's how we got to today.
- Charlie, Charlie!
I was sitting on the loo when I was truck by lightning.
- Oh, kitten, you ought to close the window first! (laughs)
- I spoke to a nice chap down at the post office.
Let me see if he can give us any leeway on the taxes.
- Will someone listen to me?
- We're in crisis here!
- Charlie, you want me to hire Italian models
and hair and makeup staff, why?
- At last, one question to which I have an answer.
I want you to hire models, hair, and makeup
because we are putting on a show!
- But why are we using fashion models?
- Oh, I've got this one too.
Because we are putting on a fashion show.
- But why are we using professional fashion models?
- Oh, this really is my day.
Because we are putting on a professional fashion show!
- Let's take the girls from the club!
- The Angels?
- Who would be more fun to see on a runway,
a bunch of personality-free pretty boys prancing about,
or a gaggle of fabulous drags who can demonstrate
what these boots were born to do?
- You're not serious, you want me to gamble
my family's business, this building, my home,
the very shirt on my back on a ramshackle bunch
of broken-down-- - There you go,
biting the hand that feeds!
- I don't know which one is more daft,
what you're saying or what you're wearing.
- Want to have a look at these, Mr. Price?
- No, no, the heel is wrong, this isn't the design.
- [George] True enough, but up against the deadline,
we had to improvise.
- Well, it's nothing like the drawing!
- [George] We had to put the heel on a different angle.
- Why?
- Else we'd have to create an entirely new steel shank.
- Then do it!
- We'll have no sewing time
if we have to wait for a new heel.
- I told them to go ahead like that.
- But it's not what you drew.
- One's a drawing, one's a shoe.
- I didn't give you approval!
- No, all you give me is deadlines.
- Okay, we're gonna do this right or not at all.
Let me see them?
No, these seams aren't straight, you're rushing.
Do it again. - Excuse me?
- And the zipper is set wrong!
People, this is for Milan,
for the most sophisticated shoe buyers in the world!
- So?
- So I don't want to be the laughing stock of the industry!
We're on thin ice puttin' these out in the first place!
Everyone, stop, oi, stop, stop, hold on the floor!
Marge, Maggie, George,
George, Trish, take a look at these.
Now, they all have to be picked out and redone correctly.
They all have to be done again.
- It's Saturday!
- And?
- I don't mind a bit of rah-rah-kumbaya
for the sake of the team,
but some of us have a life outside this factory!
- And you'll have a bloody lot more of it if I fire you.
Now do it again,
please.
You have a problem?
- All right, everyone, back to work!
- Here's what I don't understand,
why am I the only one who cares?
No, not now, Nic!
- Don't even think about puttin' me off, Charlie.
- Sorry, Nic, but I'm up against a bit of a crisis here.
- You mortgaged our flat without even discussin' it with me!
There I am, havin' my supper, alone as usual,
and along comes a man to measure up the garden
for the valuation!
- Yeah, I can explain.
- No one can ever say I didn't stand by my man,
and I'll stand by you still if you give me but one reason.
- The reason is right in front of you.
Isn't saving Price & Son worth everything?
- Where was this passion when I was trying to make us
a new life in London?
- London was for you. - For us.
- For you, you wanted London and I went along.
- Really?
Well, you could have fooled me.
And what about us?
Was gettin' engaged just for me too?
And this, who's this rubbish for?
Oh, don't tell me it's for your father.
He's probably spinning in his grave
over what you've turned his factory into.
So who's it for, Charlie?
That fancy friend of yours?
Doing special favors for him?
Something going on there I should know about?
- Oh, don't be ridiculous!
- Well, how should I know who you've been sleeping with?
Certainly hasn't been with me!
- I'm doing it for them. - Who?
- Them, our friends!
No?
We grew up with these people, we've known them all our lives
and now their whole livelihood is riding on this factory!
- And this factory is riding straight off the cliff!
If your father was still here,
they'd already be out of work.
- But he isn't, I am!
- So you're hankering to be a hero.
- Nic!
- Charlie to the rescue, is it?
Well, how do I get Charlie to rescue me?
- You look nice, all done up.
- Richard's put me on a new project.
Big time stuff. - Yeah.
- I'm headed back to London for good.
Are you coming?
- Aren't those the shoes we saw?
- How long was I supposed to wait?
(melancholic music)
(Charlie sniffles)
So long, Charlie. - Yeah.
(melancholic music)
- If you're done making wedding plans,
can we finish discussing the Milan show?
- [Charlie] There's no discussion to be had!
We're using professional models, done!
- Then you better get on the phone
because I just called and canceled them.
- I never told you that you could!
- Think, Charlie!
My girls don't need to be paid.
They'll do it for cocktails, giggles,
and the chance to walk a professional runway,
and my girls do their own hair and makeup,
so there's the money we need to get us to Milan.
- How do I get this into your head?
We are marketing to the world's most sophisticated buyers--
- Half of whom probably watch the evening news
wearing their wives' brassieres.
- News flash for Lola!
There are a whole lot of us
who don't watch the evening news in brassieres!
- Well, bully for you, but you ain't my buyers.
- Then here's another news flash.
I am not flying all the way across Europe
just to sell to your chums.
- We won't be selling to anyone if we can't get to Milan.
- Then there's no reason to go if all we've got to show
is a bunch of Nancy-boys stomping about in skirts!
We need to show these boots on women.
- Women? - You heard me.
- That was never the deal.
- Well, then the deal was wrong.
- What did that girl say to you?
- Look, I am not embarrasin' the name of Price & Son
by parading a planeload of misfits--
- Misfits? - At the most influential
footwear show in the world.
Listen to me, Lola, these boots can be mainstream!
- Drag queens are mainstream!
Just this morning, I was offered a gig singing
at a nursing home.
A nursing home, Charlie, in Clacton.
- And maybe that's just where you belong!
- [Lola] What?
- Look at you.
You're meant to be a business person.
How many successful designers do you think go about
camped up like the entertainment at a low-rent tea dance?
- After all I've shared with you,
you still think I'm wearing this
for a lack of a pair of trousers?
- Look, I get it, I understand.
All of this frou-frou, it protects who you really are.
I heard you. - You heard nothing!
- I'm telling you, you don't have to hide!
Once the industry sees your work,
you'll be able to stop all of this and have a normal life!
- You're a fool! - Am I?
I'd wager if we stood side by side and asked passersby
which one of us is fooling himself,
most of the votes would swing your way!
- Ha! - Why am I
the only one in here who believes in you?
- You believe in my shoes, I am not my shoes!
- No, you're a joke!
You think you're being all mystical and deep
representing the best of both sexes,
but I'm here to tell you that all you are is daft!
You say you want to be treated like a man,
then start acting like one!
I'm sorry, but sometimes, the truth hurts!
- The truth?
The truth?
We're done here.
- And Simon!
Yes, that's right, Simon,
when you show up at the airport,
try to look somethin' like your passport photo.
Yes?
For both our sakes.
- Here.
- This is shite, do it again.
- You're outta your bloody mind!
- This is for Milan!
- Milan!
Milan, you don't even know what Milan is.
You've never been there, you're just guessin'!
And I'm goin' home!
- [Charlie] I don't have to guess to know what's good.
- They'd be good enough for your father!
- Well, I am not my father!
- Truer words
were never spoke.
- Do it again.
- As the saying goes, you want something done your way,
have at it!
What say we clear out
and leave the man from Milan to his stitching!
- We have all these samples to make, and no time.
If you all go home now, what have we been working for?
Maggie, Marge.
George.

Like every mutt I've ever met,
you only growl because you're scared.
- Dogs growl to protect something.
I've nothing left to growl over.
- You're a funny one, Charlie Price.
I always took you for a spoiled brat
waitin' to have the world handed to him.
- Don't hand me nothin' unless you want it destroyed.
- Budge up.
Feelin' sorry for ourselves, eh?
I...
I felt the same way when my dad died.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I was so lost.
After the funeral,
the undertaker handed me a shoebox of his stuff
and said, "That's what he left."
And I looked at him and I said no,
this is what he left.
What a body leaves behind ain't in his pocket.
Sometimes, it's what he inspired in others.
(audience laughing)
(Lauren groans comically)
Turn around, Charlie.
- What's going on?
Why's the factory all lit up?
- Go and see for yourself.
- Hey.
(laughs) You did this?
- Me? No, no, no.
Don, Don done it.
(audience laughing)
Lola challenged him to accept someone for who they are,
and I'd say he rather rose to the occasion.
- What, so Don got everyone back to work
just by accepting Lola?
- No, Charlie.
You.
Don accepted you.
- Oi!
I heard you was runnin' low on funds.
Last week's payslips.

Guess who again.
We're on our way to the airport,
but there's a monumental hole where you should be,
which is no surprise.
Whenever you leave a room, there's always a great big gap.
Just how life with you is.
Anyway, I want you to know that I don't blame you
for being angry.
The way I shot my gob off, I'd walk out myself if I could.
Hey, leave it to me to finally find my passion
and use it to hurt someone I love.
But forget me, forget Milan, forget the boots and business.
What I wanted to say was
if anyone ever tries to tell you
you're something less than a man,
then you have them see me.
If being a man means being brave enough
to take on the entire world,
then you're the only man I've ever known.
Certainly the best.
You challenged Don to change his mind,
but I'm the one who really needed that lesson.

telling Simon from Clacton
he is so terribly sorry.
