01:44better things to do than hanging around here on a Friday night freezing me nuts

01:47off what's this some kind of British protest meeting we want what we're just

02:01doing what this is not my responsibility to the agent when are that we know that

02:05we just don't know where he is man this is your business it is not mine oh well

02:09that's all right but if we don't get paid we just don't come to work next week

02:13all right well then I sent for some more out-of-work Englanders no joy out of

02:19him you know

02:43hey you seen them lunatics stand out there huh see if that's gonna make them

02:47turn up any faster you know what I mean yeah mr. fist is never usually this late

02:52Dennis I like to get to the post office of a Friday night not with Brenda gets her

02:56money first thing Monday morning yeah there's no panic when I mean I don't

02:59forget I spoke he must cover what 15 sites in a day you know he could have

03:04got held up could have gone puncture you know anything I suppose hmm it's like

03:10what Obama told us the other day there were 30 of the Brits you know when he was

03:16working in Essen a year ago waiting for their money the agent never turned up at

03:20all okay well it turns out he'd liked it to ember left his wife took all of their

03:33money and some young fraulein you know from the architect's office well I've had enough of

03:43this I mean there's no point standing here like spare pricks at a wedding is there I mean

03:46he knows where we live doesn't he all right might as well get back and put the cattle on

03:50oh well can't keep a nice young fraulein waiting I better wash me barnet hey well

03:56I'm gonna wait it out hey you know what I'm gonna do when he does turn up I'm

04:01gonna connect him to this hosepipe there I'm gonna blow gravel right up his

04:04jacksie hi yes one approach isn't it McGowan yeah oh on the other hand you could

04:09always take a hard line though

04:16well the bastard still hasn't showed up he won't come now

04:33McGowan's still out there best he don't show up then if that hard case McGowan's waiting for

04:39them yeah bummer what happened when that agent did a runner with your scratch we went short

04:44we could attract him to Berlin I said always but that would have cost more than what he owed us

04:48that's a disgrace and we need protection against that kind of thing of course we haven't we're on

04:54the lump level so what am I meant to tell Brenda tell her what I told mine the truth and nothing but

05:00I suppose so of course she didn't believe me Brenda counts on her money every Monday morning

05:07well I can't I mean I'll be free tonight look at it this way if you stay in the night you're safe

05:12that much more fairly true Dennis saving money's the reason we're all here isn't it

05:18not for me it's not me it well it is for me Brenda understands that well buddy's not money what's he

05:25serving up for I'm the sole source of income in my family I am look my old mum relies on my wage

05:32packet since my dad passed on and what's left goes into my account at the West Bromwich and

05:39District Building Society for my future where you drives that motorbike of yours I don't

05:44rent you as much of a future look I'm not bothered about the future man I'm bothered about Friday night

05:50which is now in case anybody's noticed well all right you'll miss one Friday night's bevying so

05:56you can send away for that little bit more yeah a little bit more than sending out to begin with

06:00man you don't send her anything well look it's like Dan said isn't it we're not working yet

06:05officially so warm odds he's still cops for the social security now if I go sending money home it's

06:11going to jeopardize our benefits isn't it so what I'm yet got doing on a Friday and Saturday

06:15but there's anything left well keep that from under you should learn to control your cash flow

06:21Oz I mean if you had a more sensible fiscal strategy but I mean you'd make your bread last

06:26the week and you'd be off down the old stat like yours truly well hey I don't know how you manage

06:31more to women you'll take out yeah well this one's got her own car hasn't she yeah well that saves me the

06:36cab fare doesn't it and she's got her own place where she likes to prepare candlelit dinners for two

06:41it's all I've got to do is fork out for a bottle of plum can I we can learn a lot from you we can

06:45wine fiscal strategy son here then if Fister does show up collect me wages for us will you yeah yeah

06:53I have to reconcile ourselves tonight in I suppose you know a little home away from home home like a

07:03hospital ward since Moxie moved in all it can smell is Vicks vapour rub and liniment God knows what I heard

07:10that oh you're in there are you it's not funny you know having inflamed brogs even less funny

07:16kipping next to them you sound like an asthmatic pit pony man oh get out of my face oh come on

07:22fair's fair if it weren't for Moxie we wouldn't have a dartboard would we which will help to

07:27while away the evening won't it is uh anybody want to go I have today many problems on the

07:45autobahn he'll be all right never get some hot water what's happened get a car crush or something

07:52nine nine this was your friend McGowan he does not like it so that I'm late I think

07:59freezing breath on the window

08:07dying

08:08waiting

08:09hey it's bought with you ain't a bit hasn't it Fister being late

08:25I thought you were putting aside for your future oh I am I I'm Dennis here but I still think I'm

08:37considered under which squalid circumstances we all live I think it's very important that for you

08:42every now and again that I just sort of let it all hang out you know that's the main reason you're here

08:47you see that's the main reason why nearly everybody's here it's not for the money you're

08:51saying but you're trying to recapture your adolescence which you lads missed by getting

08:55money too young in the first place not me not not me Dennis no I'm not married me no I like to

09:01stay free yeah yeah well you're the rare exception though you know what I mean buddy yeah yeah oh

09:07everything den's right we all took the plunge too soon 19 hours bloody madness man yeah and

09:14your marriage is down the toilet now isn't it I beg your pardon it's well fierce facts Dennis I

09:21mean you're getting divorced aren't you I mean that's why you shouldn't keep on to me getting

09:24on my back about my marriage was your marriage is a mockery what you admitted yourself you don't

09:29even send your marjorie nothing still together over oh I get said most stable couple yeah there's

09:35not that much competition but there is we all got it for better or for worse come the end of the day

09:39I reckons we all know it's where our responsibilities like oh look at that we

09:48like I wish they were there age well I'm this area

09:52ever very attractive

10:00it can't cost that much Neville but it's in Belgium then that's another country I but it's

10:12not very far man look at the map man it's no farther than say from Sunderland to Wembley well

10:17there's no chance of Sunderland getting to Wembley is there I know that man but they are going to

10:21liais and we should be there it'll only be a couple hours in the car well I haven't got a car

10:26have I well we'll go on the train then we need passports for Belgium look we've got passports

10:33Neville that's how come they let us into Germany well how much is the train gonna cost we have no

10:38idea but it kind of cost all that much man but it's a midweek game right that means we'd have to

10:42knock off early probably end up stopping the night we're bound to lose a whole day's pay look Neville man

10:47sometimes it's worth it you know all we've done since we've got he has laid bricks I mean we're

10:52entitled to the occasional fling don't tell Brenda that look we're not telling Brenda look man we're

10:58not off on some junket to the Riviera we're only going to Liège to offer Sunderland a little bit

11:04of encouragement don't sound much like a fling to me sounds more like a penance no I would have

11:09better than Bristol Rovers any day too right they are but then Sid is my team always has been

11:14yeah I like to go then of course I would in principle it's just I don't want to be too extravagant

11:24yeah turn around a minute and check your eyes what I'll go surprise you I'm on turn run and shut

12:03you'll ever do us look I'm the one who's here on that I'm entitled to some sort of creature comforts

12:08aren't I oh I don't you think your wife's entitled to the same certainly yes and uh she'll reap the

12:14benefit when I go back won't you she can play all them horrible Barry Manilow tapes on them watch watch

12:19this yeah well that's a good picture what's the film Scott of the Antarctic hmm oh oh well

13:47it's not clogged up anymore great you can fix Kevin's bike next beginner's luck pet I'm quitting while I'm made

13:56Dennis never did anything around the house for a man with his own building business you'd think

14:02would have something to show for it like double glazing or a roof that didn't leak

14:06you heard from him his money came today it was a day late but I never worry

14:13he's very straight that way and the kids get a letter every week when your kids write to Dennis

16:55they've been gone oh what is it it's the month now yeah must be and I've never heard from him once

16:59I didn't even know he was in Germany till I went down the club for a drink one night and that steward

17:05said oh I've just had a postcard from your Oz I said well that's more than I've had mind you doesn't

17:11surprise he spends more of his life around there than he ever does at home

17:15they're in Dusseldorf

17:17oh that's nice to know

17:19did he not discuss it with you before he left

17:22no the bugger did a flit

17:24I didn't think much of it at the start because it's not the first time it's happened Vera

17:28but he usually crawls back when he's got no money in

17:31a pile of dirty laundry they earn good money out there that's why Dennis went

17:35well I've not seen a penny of it

17:37I don't know what to say Marjorie I mean I could give you their address

17:44oh I wish you would I've been beside myself just trying to keep me head above water with a flat and the bairn

17:52I can imagine

17:53and just before he went he put a down payment on a car now the blokes around every other day wanting the balance

17:58I don't know how you make ends meet pet

18:01no I don't I can't

18:02how good is the money out there but Dennis gives us some

18:21oh oh why that's your business pet certainly none of mine

26:34well no

26:35but I mean

26:36he'll never kill us if he finds out

26:44it's not why mine never went

26:45he went cos we're saving for a house

26:46and he can't earn the same money over here

26:48oh why that's part of it of course

26:50but the main reason is to get away from home

26:52so it doesn't act like a bunch of kids

26:54when you're that far away

26:56there's no questions asked are there?

26:57out of sight out of mind

27:07Brenda and Neville are a very happily married couple

27:11why maybe he's the exception

27:14I'm just saying that most of them

27:17when they get out there they act like a bunch of lunatics

27:20we were thinking of having a curry in that new Indian place Marjorie

28:25dreams are missed as good as gold

28:28I don't understand married men meself

28:30I think I know the reason for this

28:32you have a deep-rooted dislike of women

28:38which explains why you have no desire to form a permanent relationship

28:42you're obviously the product of a broken home right?

28:46or you're uh

28:48you're brought up by parents who fought all the time

28:51I can see you as a child

28:54lying awake

35:20What driver?

35:22Well, a pilot, like

35:24Pilot? What are you talking about?

35:27Yeah, I'm on a plane

35:30Aye, we're just coming in to land and arse

35:38Home? I'm not home, man, I live in Germany

35:40Couple of the lads carried you on, you were wearing a scarf

35:42They must have thought you were one of us

35:44I know, but I never had a ticket or anything, man

35:46It doesn't matter, we're all on a group ticket

35:48There's always more seats coming back than theirs going

35:51How's that like?

35:53I always leave a few behind

35:56Like last year when we went to Sport in Lisbon

35:59Three of the lads haven't been seen since

36:02Oh, I'm supposed to be at work in an hour

36:07In Dusseldorf

36:09I'm sorry, mate

37:26Bye

37:28Oh, Oz?

37:36Hello, Roger.

37:37Well, it's in, then.

37:38What are you doing here, Oz?

37:40I'd hate choice.

37:41Didn't you?

37:42No, well, when I read your letter, you know, I was really upset,

37:44so I just said, get yourself out of this, shorty,

37:47so I got the first available flight.

37:49Because of me letter?

37:50Yeah.

37:51Nothing else?

37:52Well, what else could that be?

37:54Nothing.

37:55Look, we've obviously got things to talk about, right,

37:57but first things first, get the kettle on, will you, mate?

38:00There's a cup of tea.

38:15Still not back, then.

38:16Well, I didn't really expect it.

38:18We'd wake up on a bench in the park at the railway station

38:22at the massage parlour, eh?

38:24You don't give a right sight of us, does it, young?

38:26Hey, we'd better cover for him, though, eh?

38:28No, that's no problem.

38:29If you don't work, you don't get paid.

38:31Wait a minute, then.

38:32That old thing's got it in for Oz.

38:33We know what happened the other week.

38:34Couldn't wait to ditch him.

38:35Any excuse?

38:36No, I'm a driver.

38:38That seems to be a sub-diffure.

38:39What's your suggestion?

38:41Oh, bloody hell.

38:42Why do all our problems revolve around Oz, eh?

38:45Why do you know it was me who has to sort them out?

38:47Well, I could have done it, then.

38:48You're seeing the honesty, mate.

38:50Hey, I can see he's sick.

38:51I mean, no-one'll come checking the oath, would they?

38:54You should know, mate.

38:56You've been sick since you got here, eh?

38:57They checked on your welfare.

38:59Oh, never.

39:00Could have died for all he can.

39:02Yeah, well, no-one's certain.

39:03Right, listen, eh, if Ulrich asks, let's get the story straight.

39:07Right, we'll say that, eh, he's sick, okay?

39:10With the, eh...

39:11With the clap.

39:13Oh, man, seriously.

39:15Oh, that's the most likely.

39:16Yeah, it doesn't stop me laying bricks, does it, eh?

39:18Nope, only struts.

39:19Yeah.

39:20That could be something really original, you know?

39:23What was that?

39:24Was it in the papers the other day?

39:27That's right, toxic shock syndrome.

39:30Oh, that sounds horrible.

39:31What is it?

39:32I don't know.

39:32I think you get information in terms of turnipity.

39:34You've got mankey.

39:35Right, look, that sounds plausible enough, okay?

39:37We'll see who's got that, agreed.

39:39What's up to you, then?

39:40You're the leader.

39:40Barryman, get stuck.

39:42Oh, I'm exhausted.

39:46You haven't had the sack, have yours?

39:52What makes you think that?

39:54Well, you've had it plenty of times before.

39:56Oh, no, man, Marjorie, but it's not easy for me over there, man.

39:59This German gut has got it in for me.

40:01So I'm not making the sort of money that Dennis and Neville are making, see?

40:04Well, and he won't be very pleased that you're not at work today, will he?

40:09Ah, well, that's his hard lines.

40:10I told him, I says, there's more important things than graft.

40:13I says, it's more important that I get things straightened out with me,

40:16missus.

40:17Well, I'm touched, Oz.

40:19But, you know, the money you spent on the airfare,

40:22me and Ruth could have used that.

40:23Well, isn't it money well spent if we can patch things up?

40:26I mean, when I read your letter,

40:28I thought you needed some sort of gesture reassurance.

40:32I thought I was losing you.

40:34So I didn't think twice, I just got me cell over here.

40:36I mean, it might have been a bit impetuous, fair enough,

40:38but I didn't stop to count the pennies.

40:40No, I appreciate that, Oz.

40:43Mind you, while we're on the subject,

40:45I'll need a few bob to get back.

40:47Where's that supposed to come from?

40:49Ah, well, my margy,

40:51I know you always put a bit in that pot and a mantelpiece.

40:53For Rod's birthday and things like that,

40:56not for airfares.

40:58How is he there, Ben?

41:00Wake him up in a minute.

41:02Otherwise, you'll be late for school.

41:05Does he miss it?

41:05Naturally.

41:08You're his dad.

41:10You buggered off without a word, didn't you?

41:12Well, there was a reason for that, man.

41:14I thought if he knew what I was doing,

41:15you'd try and stop us.

41:16Oh, you could at least have let us know where you were.

41:19That's why I had to go round to fear us.

41:21Well, you know where I am now.

41:22I'm in Dusseldorf, man.

41:23I'm trying to make a few bob for the three.

41:29Well, I'm no saint, neither of us.

41:33Well, if you are, darling.

41:34Not now.

41:35We've got to get Rod off to school.

41:38All right, all right.

41:39I'll tell you what.

41:40Knock us up some baking and eggs

41:42and I'll wake the burn up, eh?

41:44All right.

41:53I don't keep it in there anymore.

41:55Oz!

41:56What?

41:56You got me breakfast ready?

41:58Never mind breakfast.

42:00Get in here.

42:01Yeah?

42:02What's up?

42:02So you came back because you were so upset about me letter?

42:06Oh, aye.

42:07It brought tears to me eyes, darling.

42:08You lie and told you never even bloody read it.

42:09Well, you're tired of course I've read it.

42:10Then how come it's come back not known at this address?

42:11Well, I can explain all that.

42:12You're not even in bloody Dusseldorf.

42:13God knows where you've been.

42:14Well, Ben.

42:15Well, Ben.

42:16Well, Ben.

42:17Well, Ben.

42:18You're not even in bloody Dusseldorf.

42:19God knows where you've been.

42:20Well, Ben.

42:21Of course I still love your pet.

42:22Lord, I didn't even know for when I was sitting honest.

42:25Okay.

42:26So you came back because you were so upset about me letter.

42:27Oh, aye.

42:28It brought tears to my eyes, darling.

42:29You lie and told you never even bloody read it.

42:30Well, you're tired of course I've read it.

42:31Then how come it's come back not known at this address?

42:35Well, I can explain all that.

42:36You're not even in bloody Dusseldorf.

42:38God knows where you've been.

42:39Well, Ben.

42:45Of course I still love your pet.

42:48No, I didn't mean half of what I said in honesty.

42:52Dad be daft.

42:53Look at the expression on his boat.

42:55Guilty, apologetic, hang dogs talking to the wife, innit?

42:59He always finds Brenda on Mondays and Fridays.

43:02Tonight's Wednesday.

43:04It was a creature of habit, is her, Ned.

43:06Yeah, but think back, son.

43:07The conversation last Monday ended a bit acrimonious, didn't it?

43:10Oh.

43:11What, so there'll be dialogue. He's been brooding about it for days.

43:13So now he's giving her a bell to make amends, innit?

43:16Sorry if I upset you, darling, didn't mean it, et cetera, et cetera.

43:20You're such a cynic, you are, Wayne.

43:22No, I'm not.

43:23I'm just a trained observer of the married man.

43:26Helps to stop me ever taking the plunge myself.

43:28No, you won't hold out forever, you know?

43:30It's natural for a man to want a mate.

43:33One day you'll sick him.

43:35Oh, perhaps you're right.

43:36I mean, as the poet once said, a man without a woman's like a fish without a bicycle.

43:40Oh.

43:41Hey, I've just been talking to Brenda.

43:44No.

43:45You never guess what she told us.

43:46She's dyed her hair green and run off of a roadie from the clash.

43:49Yeah?

43:50Take no notice, Neville.

43:51He's so sharp he'll cut himself.

43:52What is it?

43:53Oz?

43:54He's in England?

43:55What's your attitude?

43:56Where are you, Mark?

43:57After you.

43:58What's your attitude of the...

44:11Where you all?

44:12Where you all here, Mark?

44:13After you.

44:19Yeah, yeah, sorry about last week.

44:21Like, you know, I was feeling a bit beaty.

44:23You know, what but the damp weather conditions

44:25and the economic recession.

44:27Yeah, yeah.

44:28So no offence like, eh? No grudges?

44:30Nein, nein, alles gut.

44:32You hadn't docked me pay packet, have you,

44:33to extract some kind of childish revenge?

44:35Nein, alles in ordnung.

44:37I hope not, mate.

44:41Norris.

44:44Paterson.

44:46Hope.

44:47Yeah.

44:48Thanks, Mr. Mr.

44:57Johnson.

44:58Yes.

45:00Taylor.

45:01Oh, sure, sure.

45:02Osborne.

45:03Where's Osborne?

45:05I think I'd better deal with this, mate.

45:12Here.

45:13I'll take Osborne, sir, Fister.

45:15This is for three days' work only.

45:17Why is this?

45:18Well, er, he's sick.

45:19Oh, toxic shock syndrome.

45:20I'll deal with this, buddy, all right?

45:21As you were, then.

45:22It's right, sir.

45:23Does he come back next week?

45:24Well, it's hard to tell with this thing.

45:25I mean, it can linger on a bit, you know.

45:26If not, I must replace him.

45:27Well, er, I'll let her Grunwald know first thing Monday morning.

45:28But I'll take his wage packet for him.

45:29Sign here.

45:30Cheers.

45:31Thanks.

45:32Why do you think you went home?

45:33Do you think he was worried about his missus?

45:34Eh, not ours.

45:35No, you know what I think.

45:36I reckon he's had a few jars with those jordie lads.

45:37Then he scored a free trip home on their charter.

45:39I thought maybe we'd got through when he went home to try and sort his marriage out.

45:40Ah, don't kid yourself, man.

45:41He never thinks past his nose, us.

45:42If you ask me, we'll see the lust of him.

45:43You reckon?

45:44No.

45:45No.

45:46No.

45:47No.

45:48No.

45:49No.

46:37No.

46:38Oh, I'm dreaming of having a nightmare, ours has come back.

46:42Well, I certainly.

46:43Where did you spring from then?

46:45Been back home haven't I?

46:46I can't just do it with them lads after the match.

46:48Well, I thought why not, you know, I'll go back home,

46:51have a couple of paints with the lads in the club, see the wife.

46:54Oh, you saw it, did you?

46:55Look, certainly, I thought when I was back I might as well saw it earlier.

46:58Oh, I heard you'd been back home.

47:00Oh, hey, I was that big.

47:02I was talking to Brenda, she told us.

47:04Oh, well, look, from now on we'll just keep the wife's mafia

47:07out over her face, shall we?

47:09Because one of the good things is Marjorie doesn't know I'm in Dusseldorf.

47:13In fact, as far as she's concerned,

47:15it's the last place you're going to think I love it, mullers.

47:17I'm the real me. I'm the invisible man.

47:20Why can't there be anyone less invisible than yours?

47:23Hey, where's my stereo?

47:25Oh, I've got that, ours.

47:27Well, that's next time, eh?

47:29No, it's mine now.

47:30What?

47:31Yeah, I sort of bought it, like...

47:33No, not me, it didn't, mate.

47:34Er, I think, er, explanations, er, er, in order.

47:37Yeah?

47:38Er, Dennis.

47:42Yeah, well.

47:44Realise it's, er, like this, sir.

47:48Us lads, like, we thought we'd seen the last of you, you know.

47:51Thought you'd gone for good.

47:52Yeah.

47:53So we said to ourselves, what shall we do with this stuff?

47:56So what did you do with it?

47:58Well, we went through your locker, you know, thinking you'd need the money.

48:01And, er, the only things we found of any value were your donkey jacket, your digital clock, and your stereo.

48:07Well, eh, gone and on, where are you?

48:09Well, er, we had an auction, ours.

48:12An auction?

48:13Oh, it was a democratic decision.

48:16I got the digital clock.

48:18I got the jacket.

48:19And, er, I got the stereo.

48:22What a bloody nerve.

48:24Oh, wait a minute.

48:25Look, we weren't selling you short.

48:26I mean, we raised 230 quid.

48:28That, plus your three days' wages, came to nearly 400.

48:33Well, that's not so bad, cos I had to borrow a bit of a good buck.

48:37I'm buying that straight back, mind.

48:39Where's me money?

48:40Er, well, the thing is, I was thinking you'd need the money.

48:44Like, you know, we, er, sent it home.

48:47Home?

48:48Huh?

48:49Well, I'm here, man.

48:50What's gonna happen to it?
