00:006 to 1, number 7, Medusa, 8 to 1 bar, runners in the next race at exit, 35, 8 runners,
00:26there you all go. Jockets, number 6, Princess Billy. What do you reckon, any chance? Not a lot.
00:40I bet they're my lucky numbers, 1 and 2. Can't you count after those? Yeah, yeah. I'll just get stuck
00:47after 4. Paying tax? Oh yes, the only way to do it, isn't it? So they say. This guy's had a result
00:56of the first two winners, and he's on a 12 to 1 for the treble. Get the balance credit
01:00around, would you? I'm a student of the form, eh? Not difficult, darling. Numbers, mathematics.
01:05Didn't you get an O-level? Woodwork. Don't polish the woodwork here. The punters can't give me
01:11their bets. How about you? Sorry, mate. Here's that. Any luck? No, not a thing. Same as him.
01:214 to 1, number 7, tour up. You're new here, aren't you? You're quick. Well, no, I'm not
01:28quick, but I am a trier. You know what, don't you? I mean, you'd look better to be on a roulette
01:34table down Curzon Street. That's not what you're going to say. Tesco's. You work there.
01:385 to 1, number 3, turn right. I've got an idea. I could tell you my complete life story when
01:43you finish work, how's it? No thanks.
01:46Not even a runner. Not even under starter's orders. I was Charlie's wife.
01:54You? Old Charlie's wife?
01:57Cool. I'm sorry. No, it's all right. It was five months now.
02:02No, it don't matter. I was well out of order. I'm sorry.
02:05Why? I mean, people are a bit surprised he was a bit older than me, but he was lovely,
02:09my Charlie. Charlie? Well, a smashing bloke, yeah. Thanks.
02:12So you're going to manage your shop by yourself, are you?
02:16Yeah. Why not? I've been around bookmakers all my life. Charlie, my dad was a bookie,
02:22and his brother. I didn't have nursery rhymes when I was a kid. I was just brought up on
02:27the runners and riders for Kempton Park and the time-formed Black Book.
02:30I've been looking for someone like you since I was 14 years old.
02:35You work for Arthur Daly, don't you?
02:37No, no. Not for. With.
02:39Oh.
02:39You can still have a drink after you've finished, can't you?
02:45Okay, just for a drink.
02:47That's right, yeah. Where?
02:49Boozer on the corner?
02:51Yeah, all right.
02:52Right, about six, eh?
02:53Uh, seven.
02:54And don't forget my winnings.
03:00Terry!
03:02Where are you?
03:03Well, I'm here, aren't I?
03:05Yeah, well, I'm over there in a boozer.
03:06I've been there for a quarter of an hour.
03:07Oh, wouldn't anybody buy you a drink?
03:10There is always a flock of respected people ready to buy me a drink.
03:15And you?
03:17Frittering your hard-earned away on the horses?
03:19No.
03:20Dogs.
03:20Acne.
03:21Oh, dear.
03:22You've got no class, have you?
03:23Royal Ascot, Epsom, Glorious Goodwood.
03:26What do you do?
03:27Acne.
03:28Barry's been murdered.
03:37Do what?
03:39Barry's been murdered.
03:41No, I don't believe it.
03:43Who?
03:43How?
03:44I mean, shot?
03:45Strangled?
03:46No, no, no.
03:46Murdered, murdered.
03:48Murdered by the horses, murdered.
03:49Oh, that.
03:50Take heed, my old son.
03:52If a bookie like Barry can't win, who can?
03:56Yeah, but he does lay odds for some very nasty people, doesn't he?
03:58No, no, no.
03:59Not nasty.
04:00Just people who can't get credit with kosher turf accountants.
04:04And people who do not like paying tax.
04:07Who does, Arthur?
04:09Anyway, he needs you.
04:11He's going to pay out today.
04:13What?
04:14What am I supposed to do?
04:15Well, company.
04:16Go with him to the bank.
04:17Do I get paid for my company?
04:20Yeah, OK, yeah.
04:21Oh.
04:25Well, go on, then.
04:27What, you mean this minute?
04:28Yeah.
04:30All right.
04:34What, you coming?
04:35No, no, no, no.
04:36I've seen a bank.
04:37Anyway, I got to see a fellow about some fireplaces.
04:40Some what?
04:41Fireplaces.
04:43Victoriana.
04:45They're knocking down some old houses.
04:47And I can sell the fireplaces to decent, middle-class people who want to gentrify their houses after they've evicted the sitting tenants who've put in these ice-beam gas fires.
04:55Say that again.
04:57Fashion.
04:59Fashion full circle.
05:00Don't you ever read the houses and gardens?
05:02Do you want them all?
05:09Oh, oh, and, uh, whatever you've got.
05:12I mean, it's just rubbish, isn't it?
05:13I mean, no, uh, no intrinsic value.
05:15Well, in that case, why do you want them?
05:18I'm a collector, Pat.
05:19The name's Dermot.
05:20All right, Pat.
05:21I'll call you Dermot.
05:22I'll tell you what.
05:23I'll give you a score apiece.
05:25But intact.
05:26I don't want no damn any goods.
05:27I've seen an article the other day.
05:33Quite fashionable, these things.
05:36House and garden.
05:37Ha, ha, ha, never.
05:38I want these.
05:40Look, would you want one of them in your house?
05:42Of course not.
05:42I've got underfloor heat.
05:44Well, there you are, then.
05:46Hey, do you know the Romans invented that?
05:47Yeah.
05:48Funnily enough, I got the stuff from two Greeks.
05:51Greeks, Romans, all part of our Western culture, Pat.
05:55Isn't it, Dermot?
06:20Here, let's go and move on, eh?
06:49Why?
06:49What's it good?
06:50In about two minutes, I'm liable to be nicked.
06:52What have you done?
06:54Now, as a young'un, might ring sus.
06:56Might be doing outside a bank, eh?
07:12When you're going to make the payout?
07:13Later.
07:14But don't leave me alone.
07:15I get nervous when I'm carrying cash.
07:17How much have you got in here, then?
07:2123k.
07:22Whew.
07:23They'd be low, didn't it?
07:25Bad week.
07:26Week?
07:27That was a day.
07:28It's a high-risk business, mind.
07:30So it seems, yeah.
07:32Well, most of the time, it's a good living.
07:33Well, I'm not like Ladbrokes.
07:35You know, the margins dice it.
07:37And the people I associate with,
07:39they don't like to hang about for their winnings.
07:41Oh, well, the only thing is, I've got a meet tonight.
07:45Oh, that's nice.
07:46You'll be through by nine.
07:49Oh.
07:49Well, could we just pop in and see a friend?
07:52Lone take two minutes.
07:53You'll make it sharpish.
07:54All right.
07:55I'll tell you what, swing a left ear.
07:56Ah, um, you know we were going to have a meet tonight?
08:06Yeah.
08:07Well, something's come up.
08:08Oh, yeah.
08:10No, no, I'll be finished by nine.
08:12Yeah.
08:13So I thought maybe we could go out and have a little meal.
08:17Listen, what happened to my bet?
08:19You lost.
08:20Terrific, isn't it?
08:23Do you know Mr Wong's?
08:25Yeah.
08:26Well, I thought maybe we could meet there,
08:28have a bit of sweet and sour and various,
08:31and, er, you don't look too thrilled.
08:35Well, we were just going to have a drink.
08:37Yeah, all right, so now we're going to have a meal instead.
08:39Listen, Terry, you're not even under starter's orders.
08:43Leave it out.
08:45All I'm saying is we're going to have a meal.
08:49Okay.
08:50Great.
08:52I'm well known at Mr Wong's, you know.
08:54Oh, yes.
08:55See you.
08:56Just a thing for now, Dave.
08:59Now the knights are drawing in, a really cheery fire.
09:02I don't know, Arthur.
09:03Now, now, you'll just listen to me, Dave.
09:05I mean, take a place like this.
09:07I mean, look at the decoration.
09:08Oh, she chose the wallpaper.
09:11Well, she's certainly got an eye for interior decoration, Dave.
09:14But as I was saying, you imagine a roaring fire, warm hearth, lovely mantelpiece.
09:19It's more sort of welcoming, isn't it?
09:21Yeah, I liked the nice fire myself, Arthur.
09:24I mean, you imagine, for example, Dave, a lovely fireplace just there.
09:27No, no, no, no.
09:28No, no, not there, Arthur.
09:29That's only our board wall, that is.
09:31How about there?
09:33That's party wall.
09:34Straight through in the butcher's defreeze.
09:36They can do anything these days, Dave.
09:38All them architects.
09:39I mean, we're not talking about rebuilding Rome, are we?
09:41We're talking about a simple chimney.
09:43Now, I happen to know the district surveyor.
09:45Personal friend, as a matter of fact.
09:47Members only, old pal.
09:49Just a visitor, mister.
09:50Oh, hello, Pat.
09:51How's it going, Dermot?
09:53What'll it be?
09:53Half a Guinness.
09:54Just a dry martini with a dash of lemonade and lots of voice, please.
10:00About them fireplaces.
10:16Chip?
10:17Can I give you any cud?
10:19Later.
10:20I'll get it back.
10:34Sound a bit confident?
10:35Because he's a mug punter.
10:37You a betting man?
10:39Well, I like a punt.
10:40Yeah, nothing big time.
10:42And do you win?
10:44I'm about even, I think.
10:45That's what they all say, Terry.
10:48Occasionally they get lucky,
10:49and suddenly they think they're winners.
10:51I used to punt, you can't beat the book.
10:54Clients, that's a laugh.
10:56I call them mugs.
10:58I despise them.
11:00No, really.
11:00Do something else, then.
11:02What?
11:04Insurance?
11:05Stock broker?
11:07Odds on a man's life?
11:10A bottle of whiskey a day,
11:1250 cigarettes a day,
11:14he'll die before he's 60.
11:16Well, I'd like to get some of them odds.
11:19It's all in a book.
11:19It's all right, then.
11:22Looks like no one's following us.
11:26Should anybody be following us?
11:27Should anybody be following us?
11:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
11:57This is nice, isn't it?
12:01Yeah, they like this. Places like this.
12:04No prying eyes and all that.

26:41i do like this guy. am i being reasonable, arthur? it's a debt of honour, barry. i don't like violence.
26:53i can't sue you. i can't get the ombudsman to write to you. i need time. no.
27:01if you're not going to give it to me. i am going to hurt you. what you mean? i've told you. i'm not a
27:13violent man. but i've got to have some satisfaction. well you understand that, eh? now if you get away
27:22with this, what will the others do? they'll all start to knock me. and if i let you get away with this,
27:31you're turning me into a right wally. tell him, arthur.
27:36um well, barry, um what i think ray is saying is you've got to be fair.
27:46now, what is an arm or a leg? six thousand pounds. personally, i'd rather have the money.
27:54but if i don't get the money, it's got to be an arm or a leg.
28:06wouldn't i make a pot of tea, would you? no.
28:24anyway, they've taken all the cups, haven't they? in and out. no mess. very efficient.
28:30they're better than pickford's. does he mean it?
28:32yeah, i think he does. well, of course he means it. you can't blame the man, can you?
28:40i mean, can you fault his logic? no. he's been paying you all this time, and now you can't pay him.
28:45so he's got the hump. seems reasonable to me. he isn't giving me a chance. a few weeks i'll be okay.
28:53yeah, i don't suppose you... no, no, no, no. don't never a debtor, nor a lender be, nor a...
28:58just a long shot, arthur. no, no, no. against my principles, barry.
29:01no, the best thing for you now is have a very early holiday. terence, time for my lunch.
29:07what time is it? nearly one. one! oh, dary!
29:14terry knew dolly warner? oh yeah, very close. right little bird bandit terry. i think he's in love.
29:34dolly, i'm sorry. i mean, there was no way i could do anything, honestly. piss off.
29:47just taking the water jump. the lane keeps changing.
29:55now, what we are talking about, terry, is a moral dilemma.
29:58i thought we were talking about breaking a leg.
30:00precisely. six grand or a leg. i mean, is that a fine distinction?
30:05of course they're pleading is.
30:07listen, look. the fella knocked ray.
30:09if people like us can't trust ourselves, who can we trust?
30:13i wish the inland revenue would give us an option. six grand or a leg.
30:18it'd be nice, wouldn't it? you wouldn't have any legs, would you? our arms.
30:21look, listen, my son. it's a dog-eat-dog world.
30:25in a couple of minutes, i'm gonna stitch up a simple irishman.
30:29what's wrong with that, eh? look at that.
30:36very nice, pat.
30:37any more, dermot? a few.
30:40but here is something else. oh, yeah.
30:53how about that? another fireplace.

31:19uh, what do you reckon?
31:21me? yeah. one of our staff. bit of a connoisseur.

31:33yeah, look, pat. i know you're just a simple artisan, dermot.
