00:00I used all my options, worked off my dues

00:14Played all the cards, now there's nothing to lose

00:19Don't want tomorrow to be like today

00:23That's why I'm breaking away

00:26I'm not trying to run, I'm trying to hide

00:32What kind of wind if I'm losing my pride

00:36Won't let tomorrow be like today

00:40That's why I'm breaking away

00:43Ooh, breaking away

00:48Got to find a better way

00:52Till the good times you run around again

00:58I'll be the same

01:02You're too good, buddy, lad

01:10Run to spit a champion in the tournament of ourselves

01:13I've got a good start

01:16Probably jumped a gun

01:18No, no, no, all well, Pete

01:19I've got a good start

01:20You're too good, buddy, lad

01:23Run to spit a champion in the tournament of ourselves

01:26Ah, I've got a good start

01:28Probably jumped a gun

01:29No, no, no, all well, Pete

01:31Well, it's not a place to do to you, lad

01:34Aye, I wasn't bad at school

01:37But then you just get out of it, don't you?

01:39No

01:39Man, since we've been coming back here regularly

01:41I'm getting back into it again

01:42Aye

01:43That's the sad thing about sports, after school you let it all go

01:45Well, you'll play soccer for a while, then

01:47Well, off and on

01:49He was a grand player, boy

01:50He sent her back

01:51Let nothing pass

01:52Ah, stop her, aye

01:53I can imagine you've got footballers' calves in

01:55Aye, you'll keep your eyes yourself, young person

01:56Aye, get up

01:57Well, why'd you give it up, then?

01:58Well, sooner or later your footballing aspirations come into conflict with the pub

02:00Well, especially up our way

02:02Find yourself getting a beer gut

02:03Smoking too many fags

02:05Keep yourself eating still beer

02:06Well, sooner or later your footballing aspirations come into conflict with the pub

02:09Well, especially up our way

02:10Find yourself getting a beer gut

02:11Smoking too many fags

02:13Keep your salient and still do it, but you can't

02:16Mate, hey, I'll tell you what it is, I'll miss it

02:18Aye, me too

02:19It was great being part of a team, wasn't it?

02:22I love the way games, mate

02:24Coming back in the bus

02:26Creates a booze

02:28Three-card brag

02:29And a sing song

02:30Magic

02:31Ah

02:32It's a pity we can't get a team here, innit?

02:35And take on the Erics, like

02:37Well, I know who ever

02:38Not enough of us for us for that team, is it?

02:41Well, it don't have to be footy, does it?

02:44In fact, I'd prefer if it wasn't

02:45Because, er, I can't play to samey blue in life

02:48Aye, aye

02:49Could be swimming

02:50Great idea, yeah

02:51Let's get a team

02:52Yeah, it could be

02:53Except you're the only real talented, Dads

02:55Well, that's something

02:56There must be something we can channel our energies into

02:59What do you reckon, Dan?

03:00Well, if you're talking about our hut

03:02You're talking about a bunch of confirmed non-competitors

03:06The only one to channel their energies isn't a sup and beer

03:09There must be something

03:13We could play a table tennis

03:15If we had a table

03:17What's in the paper, Dan?

03:39Nothing that's gonna change the course of history, son

03:43It's the music press, innit?

03:45Oh

03:50You're really into that, aren't you?

03:52Music's my life, Moxie

03:54You should've been a rockstar, you

03:56Dead ringer for Ronnie Wood

03:58Anybody ever told you that?

03:59Yeah, a couple of times, in fact

04:01As it happens, I signed Woody's autograph

04:03For a couple of frowlines down the Old Town on Tuesday

04:05Go away, you didn't, did it?

04:07Yeah, yeah, yeah

04:08There's no harm done, though

04:09They was thrilled at having met one of their idols

04:11And I was gratified

04:12At having put a bit of colour into their otherwise drab existence

04:15Well, it don't seem right to me so well

04:17Look, I didn't abuse Woody's good name by jumping them, did I?

04:21I could've

04:22Could you?

04:23Yeah, they're all over me like a cheap coat they were

04:26But I've got a code of ethics, Moxie

04:29I know where to draw the line

04:31Very commendable, that, in this day and age

04:34Yeah, isn't it?

04:36Mind you

04:37Being ethical, don't half put a crimp in your nuts

04:44Hello, Grunwald

04:46It's not Monday already, is it?

04:48No, it is not

04:49It is Sunday

04:51And on Sundays I expect to be with my family at home

04:55Turfed you out, have they?

04:57Never mind, son

04:58Pull up a bed

04:59We accept all sorts in here

05:00Please, I am not in the mood for your insolence

05:04Where's Patterson?

05:06Dennis

05:07Down the Barbs, I think

05:08What do you want him for?

05:09He is your leader

05:11I suppose so

05:12It's not a role he relishes, though

05:14Why, what's the problem?

05:16England has other problem

05:21They always are

05:22Well, I reckon if you're dead certain having some sort of competition

05:26Pinball's the answer

05:28Cos I'm nearly a grand muster on that thing

05:30That's not exercise

05:32Well, what about arm wrestling?

05:33I'll take anybody on at that

05:35Look, that's another pub game, isn't it?

05:37We want someone that'll take us out of the pub

05:39Oh, I'll count me out of that

05:44Well, I told you Neville you had beating your head against a brick wall, son

05:47Oh, man, he's always trying to organise things, Neville, man

05:50No, I'm not

05:51Yes, you are, man

05:53You and Barry, you're like a couple of old women, man

05:55You'd have this place turned into a youth club you had your way

05:58Bollocks

05:59Like singing, you know

06:00We'll be coming in here

06:01We'll be wanting me to go for nature walks

06:03And collect butterflies

06:04And give us a bottle of beer here, will you?

06:06I still fancy table tennis, Dennis

06:09Oh, you know

06:10You could all chip in by table, right?

06:12Yeah, I used to be a dab hand at that, I did

06:14Why?

06:16Well

06:17Played in the West Bromwich and District Sunday Methodist League, I did

06:20Oh, I see

06:21What's wrong with that?

06:25Oh, no, nothing, nothing

06:27I'm just remembering now where I knew you're near from, you know

06:31Take the mick, I don't care

06:33I'm the one who's got the trophy back home

06:35On the mantelpiece

06:36Next to me brother's signed autograph for Lena Zaverono

06:40What trophy?

06:41Yeah, it's only a bloody pewter tankard, isn't it?

06:45Engraved with my name and Ellen Ferguson

06:48And who's Ellen Ferguson?

06:50My partner

06:52Mick Stubbles will run us up, eh?

06:54Yeah, in 1979 West Bromwich and District Sunday Methodist League

06:58Oh, for sakes

06:59Oh, well, it's like a pinnacle, that, isn't it, of a bloke's career, isn't it?

07:04Yeah, nobody can ever take that away from me, mate

07:07I shouldn't think anybody would want to

07:10Lost causes here, are they?

07:12Well, I did warn you, Neville

07:13Mind you, I reckon we could make the next Olympics of lethargy

07:16Yeah?

07:17Hey Dan, Grumwald's looking for you, bit better

07:19Yeah?

07:20Grumwald, what's he want?

07:21Well, you know that Nat and McGowan?

07:23Yeah

07:24Oh, he's a bit of a bloody headcase here, isn't he?

07:26Yeah, well, apparently he had a bit of a tiff in a bar last night

07:29A bit of a tiff?

07:30I suppose fracar's a better word, really

07:32Anyway, he's put Sam Eric in hospital and he's in the nick

07:35Doesn't surprise me, he's a nutter

07:37Well, what's that got to do with me?

07:40Well, he must have given his employer's name, who rang Grumwald

07:43Who came down here to tell us that it's our responsibility to bail him out

07:47Huh?

07:48Well, why us?

07:50Because he's a Brit

07:51Says the behaviour of the Brit's none of his business

07:53Well, it's none of my business either, is it, eh?

07:55He lives in a hostel, doesn't he, eh? He's not now a hut

07:58But I'm stopping the nick

07:59Still a Brit now, ain't he, Dan?

08:01And Grumwald sees you as top man, doesn't he?

08:03Oh, bloody hell, look when I'm not accountable for every madman in Germany just cause they're British

08:08Oh, he is a bit of a hooligan, isn't he?

08:10Best place for him, ain't he, a bloke like that, Nick?

08:13Trouble is, Grumwald reckons, if we can't take care of our own, we can all ship out

08:19What, he said that? That's not fair, it's nothing to do with us

08:23I'm just telling you what he said

08:25What? You mean a Tim or us?

08:27Yeah, either we look after it, or we can get the next boat home

08:31Bloody hell

08:51Personally, I don't think the going's worth that much

08:54It's a type that'll skip Bill, you know, Dan

08:56I doubt it, he's probably not as much bother back home as he is here

08:59I can walk out of here on me own without any help from you lot

09:04Listen, I know exactly what I had

09:07So if you Erics have divided anything out between you, I'll know

09:10Where's me St. Christopher?

09:12Right

09:15Can we have our own money bucket?

09:19You had no right pulling me in here in the first place, you know that, don't you?

09:23Yeah

09:24Hello, Geordie

09:25Hi to you

09:26Nothing

09:27Hey, hey man, don't you want me egg waves, eh?

09:29Oh, let's just get out there

09:30Let's just get out there

09:31Oh, I saw you bollock a hangover

09:33I was only having a couple of jars, you know, minding me old business, like

09:34Them Naffanetics started that, I wasn't looking for any trouble

09:35Well, blokes like you never are, are they?

09:36What's that supposed to mean?

09:37Well, every time a bloke like you says he's not looking for trouble, you can bet you a bottom dollar that's exactly what he's looking for

09:39Hey, is that what you're all after, is it?

09:40Oh, am I? Knock it on the head, you know, we're not the enemy, we've just bailed you out, remember?

09:41You just don't have a go at me, right?

09:42Look, leave off, will you?

09:43Hey, you just leave it out, will you?

09:44Oh, you're someone like you, nobody say nothing

09:45Oh, you better not either

09:46Well, just calm down, eh?

17:50Hey, Oz, can I have a word?

17:52I'm going for the show, but it won't take a minute.

17:58What do you want, though?

18:00What do I want now?

18:02It's him. What on earth possessed you to bring him in here?

18:04Well, Dennis, he had nowhere else to go.

18:06Well, that's his hard lines, right?

18:08He brought that on himself.

18:10Well, he cannot see a bloke within a bed, man, Ted.

18:12Him you can. You're better off finding him a cage, mate.

18:14He even snores aggressively.

18:16He's going to make all our lives a misery.

18:18Well, he cannot make you all eat much more but one, can he?

18:20Leave Nev alone. Nev's right, Nev.

18:22He's going to spoil everything he is.

18:24He's only one person, mate.

18:26Look, man, we've just about got used to living with each other, right?

18:28Now, it hasn't been easy, but we've managed.

18:30Now, you've gone and bollocked everything up asking him in here.

18:32Yeah, we're not a bleeding halfway house, man.

18:34No, he's got to go. It's as simple as that.

18:36Oh, yeah. You're going to tell him, are you?

18:38Is that it? No.

18:39No.

18:40No.

18:41Thought Bummer would.

18:42Oh, terrific. Bummer's not back till next week.

18:45All right, then, before we get up a delegation, right,

18:47we can write a strongly worded protest and then Dennis can go...

18:51Dennis can what?

18:52Oh, aye, Dennis can tell it enough off.

18:54Dennis can get his head thumped.

18:55We'll all back you up, though.

18:57Oh, Dennis is good a point.

18:58Well, I do all right.

18:59I suppose he's not a bad bloke.

19:01I know. I mean, compared with other violent psychopaths,

19:03I suppose he isn't.

19:04Well, you've just got to know who to handle them, man.

19:06Well, no-one else has, have they?

19:08He's done previous, you know.

19:09Has he?

19:10Yeah.

19:11Yeah, some of the lads told me.

19:12What for?

19:13Well, I should hardly think it's income tax evasion.

19:16Griever's bodily armor.

19:18Look, you ask him in here, right?

19:20You can get shot at him.

19:21All right, all right, man.

19:22That's nice.

19:23Get up my nose.

19:24Will be if you don't ask him, right?

19:26Look, I just don't think it's fair that I'm held responsible

19:29for every British workman on this site.

19:31Well, I am not to be responsible for how you behave.

19:35Look, you people come over here.

19:37We give you work.

19:39But you are not registered.

19:41You are self-employed.

19:43So if you cause trouble, then you must go.

19:47Unless you correct it among yourselves.

19:49Look, my lot don't cause any trouble.

19:51They are not saints.

19:53Well, that's still a cunning set of lads.

19:55Just out my going.

19:57He is not German worker.

19:59He is Englander.

20:02You could suck him.

20:04Does he know you suggest this?

20:07I think it is better he does not, yeah?

20:09Look, he's ended up in our hut now, man.

20:12Good.

20:13Then you can keep a close watch on him.

20:19Why, he's smashing you.

20:24Oi!

20:26What do you want him away out of the bevy?

20:27Look, are you two all my going yet?

20:29No, well, I haven't had a chance yet

20:31because he's been working on the West Block, Dennis Seabood.

20:33Tonight in the hood, without fear, right?

20:35I'll do it.

20:36All right, I'll do it tonight.

20:37Great.

20:38All right.

20:39All right.

20:40All right.

20:41All right.

20:42All right.

20:43Oh, yeah.

20:44All right.

20:45All right.

20:46Do you mind hanging on a minute while I get some more postcards?

20:50It's good to leave these papers there.

20:57You all right?

20:59Oh, yeah.

21:00What you got to do?

21:02Oh, nothing, nothing.

21:03Hey, do you mind hanging on a minute while I get some more postcards?

21:06I'm up here a minute.

21:07Oh, all right.

21:20I'm running out of socks, I am. Working in all that water, I'm going to get foot rot.

21:29Well, at least you're indoors. It's freezing out there today.

21:45The tea's on, is it?

21:47You can make some.

21:48Hey.

21:50If you want.

21:51No, I'm not bothered.

22:02You, er, kipping here again tonight, are you?

22:05Where am I supposed to be kipping?

22:07I just wondered, you know.

22:09I didn't sleep too well last night, you know. That bed there's too small.

22:12Oh, dear.

22:20Oh, lads.

22:21Nice.

22:22Er, you had a word with you know who? About you know what, eh?

22:32Well, I was just about to.

22:33Yeah, go on then.

22:34Hey, Mark.

22:35Hey, Mark.

22:36What?

22:37What?

22:38Well, it's about your being in here.

22:39What about me being here?

22:40Well, it's not all that much room really, is it?

22:41I know, I know, I know.

22:42I've got a roughet.

22:43No, but the thing...

22:44The thing is...

22:45Dear me, you can't off chuck an attic, aren't you?

22:46Never get beat me.

22:47Dear me.

22:48You can't off chuck an attic, aren't you?

22:49You can't off chuck an attic, aren't you?

22:50Never get beat me.

22:51Dear me.

22:52Marvellous.

22:53Hey, Dennis, come have a look at this, man.

22:56Just a bloke, isn't it?

22:57We can't off chuck an attic, aren't you?

22:58Sorry, come on now.

22:59Before you go, said-

23:00Hey, Mark.

23:01I got a...

23:02Well, I've got a look at that.

23:03I was on the fair.

23:04Oh, I was on.

23:06I was on the fair.

23:07And a little bit too.

23:08I was on the fair, you know.

23:09If you go, I've got a looking.

23:11I'd keep in the fair.

23:12There a little bit.

23:13I'm in the fair.

23:14Not too quick.

23:15Maybe I'm on the fair, it's all right, Mark.

23:16I did the fair.

23:17Hey, Dennis, come and have a look at this man, Max, just a bloke we need in here.

23:19Yeah.

23:20I've got this darts match coming up up in the army, you know.

23:24Well, that's lucky for you lads, I'm staying here.

23:26All right, right.

23:27Huh?

23:30Prick.

23:31Huh?

23:40Mate, er...

23:42The thing is, we don't really want you in this hut.

23:45Who says?

23:46Yeah, all of us, I'm speaking for all of us.

23:49How come?

23:50Well, er, nothing personal, like, you know, I mean, we don't mind you keeping here for a couple of nights, you know.

23:55But you see, us lads, we've got things pretty much together amongst ourselves and, er,

24:00we don't want anybody keeping here on a permanent basis.

24:09Isn't that right, lads?

24:11Yeah, right, I mean, you know, we're all mates and everything, aren't we?

24:17Yeah, we've, er, all got used to each other, you know.

24:20Well, you know, it's nothing personal, as, er, as Dennis says.

24:26You don't want me staying here, is that what you're saying?

24:29Well, not in so many words, like, no, no, you know, it's a question of harmony, innit?

24:36Oh, yeah.

24:37No, I mean, it's what it's a question of, like.

24:39No, it's not easy, is it?

24:41It's a bunch of group of men, grown men, all staying under, sleeping under one roof, you know.

24:49It's especially one that lets the wet in, innit?

24:52So you lot want me out, do you?

24:57Well, up to the darts, match.

25:01At least let them stay up to the darts, eh?

25:03Osman, that's got bugger all to do with it.

25:05And say I don't want to go, are you physically going to eject me, is that it?

25:10Well, look, none of us is capable of that, you know, as you're well known.

25:13Just as well you do know that, isn't it?

25:14But it would just be best our own if you're left, you know.

25:16I'm just telling you straight, you know, because that's how we'd prefer it.

25:18When am I supposed to go?

25:19Hey, hey, come here.

25:20You got all the answers.

25:22I don't know.

25:25I mean, what do you take me for, you lot, eh?

25:27I mean, I don't bother anybody.

25:29Would the hostel take you back?

25:32No chance.

25:35All I did was break a chair over the water's head.

25:38That's the sort of person we take you for, I mean, you know, that's the point, like.

25:41I don't like gaffers.

25:42I don't like being told what to do and where to do it.

25:46Ah, well, that's why it wouldn't work out here, would it?

25:49I mean, we're sticklers for rules and regulations, we are, son.

25:52Got what by the house rules, see?

25:54Well, get a flat on your own, that's your best bet, surely.

25:56That'll cost me, won't it?

25:58Advance against breakages.

26:00Yeah, which in your case won't be returnable, will it, eh?

26:04No offence, squire, it's just a joke, isn't it?

26:07Don't you clown with me, doggie.

26:08Look, a flat's the best bet, mate, you know, maybe we can help you out, eh?

26:11If I get a flat, you can say goodbye to that scratch you put up for me bale.

26:15You won't see that again.

26:17Just think about that.

26:28Hey, look, I still cannot believe this.

26:33We all want him out before he stays.

26:35We've got no choice.

26:36Why, aye, we've got a choice, tell him to shift his arse.

26:39We'll back you up.

26:40Hmm.

26:41Oh, hey, man, Den's already did that, man.

26:44I didn't see you kicking around backing him up anywhere.

26:46What?

26:47Eh?

26:48No, you kept your distance.

26:49Well, I didn't know, did I?

26:50I was away down the town.

26:51Aye, well, all right, then, don't jump the gun, then.

26:54Look, if he does go, you can kiss one of yours is goodbye, right?

26:57We've seen the last of that.

26:58Aye.

26:59All that money.

27:00Well, I don't know what you're worried about, you didn't even chip in.

27:03I was skint.

27:06Aye, this is all happening cos of that rotten darts match.

27:08Aye, well, you can blame us for that.

27:10Arm?

27:11Oh, I had a whale, man.

27:13That's just sour grapes, man, Neville.

27:14Cos he's never got on the team.

27:15Oh, don't be so stupid arse.

27:17I couldn't give a rat about your rotten darts, do you?

27:19Yes, you could.

27:20It gets up their nose, man.

27:21I can tell.

27:22Bollocks.

27:23Well, you're the one who wanted outside interest, aren't you?

27:26What, darts is an outside interest?

27:28Well, something to do.

27:29Aye, well, I'll find myself something to do, thanks very much.

27:32Take care of me selling that department.

27:34Aye.

27:35Is that why you've been going into town, is it?

27:38Possibly.

27:39Possibly.

27:40So mysterious.

27:41Well, what are you up to, like, son?

27:43It's my business, isn't it?

27:45Oh, well, I'm sorry to ask.

27:47Suit yourself, I couldn't care.

27:48Well, that's all right, then.

27:49Well, that's all right with me.

27:50It suits me.

27:51It suits me at all.

27:52It's all right.

27:53Knock it on the head, man, will you?

27:54You're like a couple of burns, man.

27:55What's the matter as he pinched your crayons?

27:57He's starting it.

27:58I never said no to you.

27:59Look, have you two forgot what's supposed to be mates, eh?

28:02Have you forgot that we came out of here together, right,

28:04and we vowed to stick together and stick it out no matter what?

28:07Look, I'll be the first to admit I didn't think we'd go the distance, right?

28:11But we've managed so far.

28:12I mean, we've had our fair share of trials and tribulations

28:16and a fair amount of shit's been hoyed our way,

28:18but we've come out unscathed, none the worse.

28:21Right?

28:22Right.

28:23Yeah.

28:24Right.

28:25Yeah.

28:26Right.

28:31Sorry, Ose.

28:32No, I don't see any more, son, I understand.

28:34Look, my dear.

28:35We all know whose fault it is, right?

28:37And he's not even here.

28:38There must be some way we can get shot of him.

28:42You know, in America, you know, in the, in Underworld, you know, the Mafia,

28:53they empty away with the bodies of their victims by burying them in concrete.

28:59So what?

29:00So what?

29:01So we work on the building side, don't we?

29:12Good morning, Patterson.

29:13Morning.

29:15That could be worse.

29:16Indeed, yes.

29:17In three days, no problems with McGowan and German workers.

29:18No trouble, no police complaining.

29:19Very good, I think, that he is in your care.

30:01Yeah, I always did like a good Chinese film with German voices.

39:32Hey, don't shove me.

39:33No.

39:34Hey!

39:36Oi, lean below.

39:39Hey, I'll be back for the dance match.

39:59And he hit him.

40:01Didn't he just...

40:02Right, well, look, that's it, eh?

40:04Be no match for all of us, will he?

40:06We'll go and kick the living shit out of the match.

40:07And some more, right then?

40:09Too bloody true.

40:10He's gone.

40:11Gone where?

40:12Well, he's got this bird, hasn't he?

40:14Well, he'll be back, won't he?

40:16Not today, he was.

40:17Well, that's all right.

40:17It'll keep on it, the bastard.

40:19Look, let's not worry about him.

40:20Let's just go and see Neville, eh?

40:24Neville's gone and all.

40:25Why?

40:28Well, you know, Neville, he's taken it all himself, hasn't he?

40:31It's like...

40:32Did he see where he's gone?

40:35Yeah, he's gone into town.

40:37Look, we're going to have to get a hold of him.

40:39You know what he's like?

40:39He'll bottle this up.

40:40He'll get himself into a right depressed state.

40:42He will, that league.

40:43Oh, we're going to find him.

40:44Well, um...

40:48We might know where he is.

40:50Hey, Barry.

40:52Well, you know, it's a long shot, but he might be.

40:57Maybe where?

40:59Well, if you know it, then tell us, man.

41:02Where, man?

41:14I think it's disgusting on a Sunday.

41:27In there?

41:28In there?

41:29In there?

41:44Well, let's start it.

41:46They look hard.

41:49More?

41:51Neville?

41:54Cali,?"

41:58Oh, ma'am.

41:59Oh, honey.

42:00Oh, ma'am.

42:01Oh, hi, sir.

42:14He's not in here, does he?

42:23No, doesn't look like it, no.

42:25Hang on a minute.

42:27What's up?

42:28Herb Grunwald.

42:30What's he doing here?

42:31Hello, mind capitan.

42:33I thought you said you spent Sundays at home with your family, eh?

42:38Guitar lessons?

42:40Could be a euphemism.

42:42Oh, yeah.

42:43Yeah.

42:44What are they, acoustic or electric, eh?

42:46A euphemism, Wayne, is a polite way of being rude.

42:50Like saying piss off when you mean go away or Wayne instead of pillock.

42:54Watch it, you.

42:55So what do you reckon to guitar lessons?

42:57What?

42:58It's an advert, isn't it, for sexual services.

43:00Is it?

43:01Yeah.

43:02You've seen the signs, haven't you, up in Soho?

43:04Oh, like, uh, French mistress seeks pupil for oral lessons.

43:09I wonder if Dennis has had any luck.

43:11Hold on a minute.

43:12Where's Moxie?

43:13I reckon he's stayed behind to catch the end of that film.

43:15A little bit to catch more than a film in that fleet pit.

43:18Of course.

43:19The guitar always has been used as a panic symbol, hasn't it?

43:22Has it?

43:23Yeah.

43:24Must be sorted out.

43:25Yeah.

43:26What?

43:27Never left there five minutes ago.

43:28You mean Neville's actually been in there, striking his unnatural needs?

43:32Nice.

43:33Apparently he was a regular customer.

43:34Was he?

43:35But I think he's kicked the habit by now, Lee.

43:37That's right.

43:38Well, the gentleman said he left his plectrum behind.

43:43Not yet, I'm like, not yet.

43:44Yeah.

43:45Oh, she's not here.

43:45It was fun.

43:46Oh, she's been in here.

43:48Man.

43:49Oh.

43:50Oh, she's been in there.

43:51She's got a investor.

43:52Yeah, she's got a target of people.

43:53I mean, she went in the air.

43:54I'm not here.

43:55Oh, yeah.

43:56Regular as ever, buddy.

44:21I haven't been this past week.

44:23I think, er, I think my girl's upset my sister.

44:28Still not back?

44:29Ah, he will be.

44:30He sort always is.

44:32Then it's high noon, innit?

44:35I've been calling to Dennis.

44:36Not going to be.

44:37Really?

44:38What do you say?

44:39Good job for that.

44:41I've already cut myself twice worrying about it.

44:47Good morning.

44:48Morning, Gamer.

44:50You wish something?

44:51Eh, just a word in your ear, sir.

44:55Dagmar, bitte machen Sie mir eine Tasse Karte.

44:59Oh, das dauert noch ein bisschen.

45:01Es ist noch nicht ganz durchgelaufen.

45:06Ich glaube, ich habe mein Auto nicht abgeschlossen.

45:11Können Sie mal sehen?

45:18Oder mich nicht.

45:21Yes, Pedersen, what is it?

45:26Not a word, not one word will be heard by any of my lads.

45:30Not to no one.

45:30Not to the Brits.

45:32Not to the Eriks.

45:33Not to nobody.

45:33You have my soul with.

45:34All your hut knows.

45:37All except McGowan.

45:39But the rest of my lads, I promise you.

45:43However, if McGowan does find out, I mean, his silence, I can't guarantee.

45:49So?

45:52Well, so, eh, it'd be best all rolls when we're going left.

45:58For what excuse can I give?

46:00He is good worker.

46:02Yeah, think of something.

46:03It's made in the evening.

46:18It's made in the evening.

46:19You were this one to all.

46:22You're a very chip out of here, Dennis.

46:25Aye, not bad.

46:27Sounds like he knows something we don't, doesn't he?

46:29Well, hey, we've all got to have our little secrets, Neville.

46:32No need to tell you all that.

46:33My secret's out.

46:34Back down to you lot.

46:35I don't know why you had to make such a big secret of it in the first place, mate.

46:39Well, I just wanted to get half proficient at it.

46:41Buy me sell a guitar and surprise you.

46:44What, at the Christmas party, Lee?

46:45I don't know, man.

46:46Hey, uh, what laying bricks isn't going to damage your hands, mate?

46:50Aye, you better get them insured if you're going to be the next Eric Clapton.

46:53Well, I'll surprise you, yes.

47:11I got me cards from Grunwald.

47:14What for?

47:15He says he heard through the grapevine the judge is going to do me when I go up.

47:19You know, make an example or something.

47:21Never.

47:21Yeah, apparently.

47:23I told you they'd stuff it to me, didn't I?

47:25You vindictive bastards.

47:26Aye, well, you're best off going home.

47:29Better than being in the clink.

47:30Aye, slow so.

47:34So long, Lee.

47:35You'll not be missed.

47:40That's your old bear money off the spell, kid.

47:42I'll be missed.

47:56I'll be missed.

48:28Oh, great.

48:28Ah, it should be a good night.

48:30Can you run the team up at all?

48:54Nah, well, there's no panic.

48:55I mean, we're going to have a monumental piss-up,

48:57but you can forget all about the darts much.
