18:53I don't know.
19:23Oi, I trust we are not fleeing from the scene of the crime.
19:29Are you kidding?
19:33Why? I see a face in unusual garb, a residential area, six o'clock in the morning, I've got to take notice.
19:40I'm training, aren't I?
19:41Yeah, but for what?
19:44I'm making a comeback. I'm fighting in a month.
19:47You had a fight last week, as I understand.
19:49That wasn't in Madison Square Gardens, was it?
19:51Hmm. Where is this venue, then?
19:54Ilford, I think. I'm not sure.
19:56Well, a couple of briefs for your local custodians of law and order would be handy.
20:01No, that's office department.
20:03Sure, that'd cost me the royal box.
20:05All right, we'll get you an orange box.
20:07Oh, that is nice, isn't it?
20:08If I wasn't going home now, I could nick you.
20:11What for?
20:12I don't know. Sus?
20:13Loitering with intent? Parking on a double yeller?
20:16It's been a bad week for me.
20:18A nice bank robbery or a couple of transvestites kidnapping the mayor had come in handy.
20:22I haven't been in the local paper for three months.
20:24All right, I'll put a whisper about.
20:25Can't be obliged.
20:27Do you reckon you're worth a bet?
20:30Yeah, I'll do as happens.
20:33Well, go on, then. Up on your toes.
20:36You've had enough practice, haven't you?
20:37Oh, my God.
21:01I hope we've got an oxygen tent in there.
21:03After all, my reputation is at stake.
21:07Oh, my God.
21:12Oh, dear. I hope you haven't got a Richard waiting for you in the bedroom.
21:15Just make the tea, will you?
21:16No, I've had tea.
21:17I haven't.
21:18What a two-and-eight. I've got more chance of beating Jackie Wilson.
21:21Look at you.
21:22Shut up.
21:23I haven't done this for a long time.
21:25Now, listen, what you'll need is a trainer.
21:26I'm training myself, aren't I?
21:29I do happen to know a bit more about boxing than you, right?
21:31Oh, really? Is it not my subject, the noble art?
21:34It's your start of a ten. Hoxton University.
21:36Cheap job, Terrence. Cheap job.
21:38You've been found out, haven't you?
21:39Here, come on, then. Come on.
21:41Who was the only man to win the heavyweight title while he was down on the canvas?
21:44Max Schmeling.
21:45Max Schmeling.
21:46He got the title from Jack Sharpie on a foul.
21:48You didn't know that, did you? Come on, give us another one.
21:50What's the time?
21:51I could go on the telly any time with Agnes Magnus.
21:53Who?
21:54See, you don't even know who he is.
21:55The Icelandic Scotchman with the electric chair.
21:57Yeah. Now, as your manager, I call the shots.
22:00And I nominate...
22:02...Soldier Atkins.
22:07Who?
22:09Soldier Atkins.
22:11Oh, soldier?
22:12No, don't knock the old'uns, Terry.
22:14Oh, my God, I can hear it now.
22:16Oh, yeah, Tommy Farnett, he was a good boy.
22:19And Len Harvey, there's another one.
22:20My gent, he was a right tough.
22:22Oh, soldier Atkins, oh, my God.
22:26Oh, Tommy Farnett, now, you could have a fight.
22:29Of course, nobody took your liberties with Tommy.
22:31Then it was Len Harvey.
22:33What a gent.
22:34In and out of the ring.
22:36Sweetest straight left in the world.
22:37Oh, soldier knows it all, don't you, soldier?
22:39Yeah, well, it's in the bones.
22:41The old family.
22:44Cos why did your old mum weigh in at 11 stone, seven pound?
22:46Your kind of stamp, Terry, and a very similar style.
22:50Walking fighter, the old lady.
22:52Undisputed champion of the co-op, Q, general war.
22:56Look, with no disrespect, what are you going to do for me?
22:59I'm going to make you a winner.
23:01People say the last fight was hooky.
23:04It was.
23:05You were on a good eye, didn't know nothing.
23:07It was a set-up.
23:09Bit of villainy, maybe.
23:10They just wanted to be sure.
23:12I had him all over the place.
23:15Simple-minded, isn't you?
23:17Well, come on, Arthur, tell him.
23:19Yeah, well, I mean, he was favourite.
23:21Jackie Wilson, I mean.
23:22Oh, John, wasn't he?
23:23As I remember it, yeah.
23:24Yeah.
23:25Oh, what are you trying to tell me?
23:26He would have won anyway.
23:28Well, so they reckoned.
23:29He was going to win.
23:30They just wanted some insurance, right, Arthur?
23:32Yeah, yeah, that's about the size of it.
23:35They thought I couldn't win.
23:36Yeah.
23:38Well, you kept stum about that for a bleeding long time, didn't you?
23:41Why not?
23:42Wilson was in on it.
23:44Oh, I guess better and better, doesn't it?
23:46Do you mean to tell me he wasn't even trying?
23:48Look, it doesn't matter.
23:49It's old history.
23:50Then you had your close encounter with the law.
23:51But who cares, anyway?
23:53Who cares?
23:54I care.
23:54That's who.
23:55I reckon Wilson cares.
23:56Well, that's lovely, isn't it?
24:00A couple of as-beings trying to even a score.
24:04I think he's got the hump.
24:08Psychology, isn't it?
24:09A little bit of a G-up.
24:10And you knew and all?
24:18Everybody knew.
24:20Except you.
24:22Well, to be fair, he was a bit tasty.
24:25Was he?
24:26Yeah.
24:27He was a clever fighter.
24:28A bit flash.
24:30But you can't take away his record.
24:32And what's that make me, a mug?
24:33Oh, no.
24:34I'd say what you are is a natural fighter.
24:37Well, that's why they needed insurance all them years ago.
24:39That's the thing about a natural fighter.
24:41Not you, Dan.
24:41And you get up again.
24:43Who needs all that?
24:45It's a hell of a way to make a living, though, isn't it?
24:46Yes.
25:06So, no.
25:07Oh, no.
25:09Oh, no.
25:10Oh, no.
25:10So, no.
25:36Good, good.
25:44Get up with your shoes.
25:46Do the job.
25:47Put it in.
25:48Go on, go on.
25:49That's it.
25:51Come on, Terry, move.
25:53Use it right.
25:54Good, that's it.
25:55Lovely, lovely.
26:02Get inside.
26:03Get inside.
26:05Cut him off.
26:07Terry, come on.
26:09What is it?
26:10Come on, beat the governor.
26:12I'd like to see a bit more venom.
26:14I'd like to see a little less nicotine.
26:23You all right?
26:25Yeah.
26:26Just like the old days.
26:27Yeah, straight.
26:28Yeah, come on.
26:41Come on.
26:41Chris, the butcher's one of the fancy.
26:43At least show your respect.
26:45Come on.
26:45You're a bit of a celebrity now, you know.
26:50Apart from working for me, that is.
26:52Oi, I'll pay you now.
26:53Yeah, and what do I get?
26:54A pittance.
26:55Oi, oi, oi, oi.
26:55All that sparring, prancing around you do, that's job satisfaction for you.
27:01I'm slapping around contracts, tickets, GBH of the year, I'm from Soldier.
27:04Yeah, it's good, isn't it?
27:06Look, Chris.
27:07What's that?
27:07Hey, Terry, you're going to win.
27:11I tell you, I know.
27:12I know.
27:13Hey, for you, best scotch sirloin.
27:17God bless you.
27:18Hey, hey, hey, he could eat two of them.
27:20Why not?
27:21You got the tickets?
27:22There you are, four.
27:24Score a piece.
27:25Best of the house.
27:28Score?
27:29They say 15 pounds.
27:30Oh, no, let me tell you about this.
27:31Now, you're not going to believe this, but me, I, had to buy those tickets from a towel
27:36on my landlord's life.
27:38It's caught the public's imagination.
27:40All right, Arthur.
27:41I want to see my old pal.
27:44You haven't got a side of beef, have you, Chris?
27:45You could have a lovely snapshot for the local rag of Terry bashing the beef, like in Rocky.
27:49Or cut up.
27:51Spring lamb?
27:51Yeah, that'll do.
27:52Hold on, hold on.
27:53I'm not punching a little English spring lamb.
27:55That's your problem, you see.
27:57No killer instinct.
28:06Hey, hey, I'll have one of them steaks.
28:09You won't, eh, for me.
28:10Well, don't I eat?
28:11As you're selling tickets over the odds, you can buy yourself a turkey, can't you?
28:14And some chip-a-larders.
28:15All right.
28:16You hit them in the chin, I'll hit them in the pocket.
28:18Bon appetit.
28:20Bon voyage, Josh.
28:21Hello, Terry.
28:35Hello, Brenda.
28:36I thought you'd be helping Jackie.
28:37And you're always good for a photo at the way, aren't you?
28:39Don't do a lot of training these days.
28:41I know.
28:43Don't I get a little kiss?
28:51Don't tell me, Brenda, he's got the flu, or he wants to do a ding, or somebody wants
28:58a huge bed.
28:59Those days are gone.
29:01Who are you?
29:02The two of you?
29:03It's a laugh, isn't it?
29:05Or don't I get a drink?
29:08You can have orange juice, grapefruit juice, or a couple of tea bags.
29:11You're really half serious, eh?
29:13Yep.
29:14He's not.
29:15He reckons he could beat you any time.
29:18I used to think that as well.
29:19Well, should be a good fight then.
29:21Yeah.
29:23Bet he could lose an eye.
29:26Whose idea is that?
29:27Yours or his?
29:28The doctor says he's got a detached retina.
29:32Well, he shouldn't fight then, should he?
29:33He's got his pride.
29:35Brenda, don't tell me.
29:36Go home and tell him, all right?
29:38Look, the fight doesn't mean anything.
29:39No headlines.
29:41Three lines in the local rag.
29:44Look, if you don't want to fight, call it off.
29:46I don't care.
29:46I'll fight someone else.
29:47Well, what's he going to do?
29:48We skint.
29:50Look, we've got two kids, mortgage, debt's up to here.
29:54It's a joke fight.
29:55All I'm saying is let it be a joke fight.
29:58What am I?
29:59An all-in wrestler?
30:02Old ladies like it.
30:09Good solicitor.
30:11Top man.
30:11Oh, I know.
30:12Do you in the attic?
30:19Oh, Mr. Daly.
30:21Oh, she's nice.
30:22Oh, well, may I trouble you for one of your fine la-dee-dals?
30:30I seem to have mislaid my own cigar case.
30:34Now, this is the document in question, Mr. Daly.
30:37Yes, I had superb Chabers and Lincolns Inn some years back.
30:42Wanted to get back to the people.
30:44Grassroots.
30:45We should have had office on the ground floor.
30:48This typing's not all that clever, is it?
30:50Ah, dear old Miss Penrose.
30:53It's a valuable aid, but I'm afraid her nimble fingers aren't what they were.
30:57No, I'm accepting an order of a new word processor next week.
31:00Now, how's business, Mr. Lynch?
31:04Oh, I say, slow-ish.
31:09No problem, Mr. Daly?
31:12No, no, that seems all right.
31:14Short?
31:14Ah, yes.
31:16You were expecting a more intricate document.
31:19Now, I've dispensed with the ramifications with the ground landlord.
31:22This is what I call a simple transfer from tenant to tenant.
31:25Yeah, but is it, um, dare I use the word, legal?
31:29No, Mr. Daly.
31:31I've worked for some of the largest property companies and estates in the land.
31:36If I were to flourish the name, the, uh, Duke of Westminster.
31:40Hang up, I'm not going to swallow that.
31:42Well, not recently.
31:44No, no, I'm talking about the old Duke, not the young one.
31:47Another kettle of fish.
31:48Oh, yes.
31:49Um, well, if you'd just take this to your own solicitor.
31:53My solicitor?
31:54I met him in the street the other day.
31:55I said, how are you?
31:56I got a bill from him two days later.
31:59I think I've heard that remark before.
32:03Never.
32:04Everything's got to be painted white.
32:19Brilliant white.
32:20Including the cat, if you can find him.
32:22And you've got two days.
32:23Bit strong, innit?
32:24No, I'm not talking about your Davey Hicks.
32:25Just splosh it on.
32:26White, white, and more white.
32:28You're going to have to work like blacks.
32:29Thanks.
32:30Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no disrespect intended.
32:33I mean, it's a figure of speech, innit?
32:34You know what I mean?
32:35Uh, no, no.
32:36Work like three sweaty Irish navvies.
32:38That's better, innit?
32:38That's even worse.
32:39Wait a minute, I know you.
32:41Yep.
32:42Tweaked up the carbs, right?
32:44Great.
32:46Then how come you're suddenly the fastest paint roller in Notting Hill Gate?
32:49I'm moonlighting.
32:51At least during the daytime.
32:52Ain't I allowed to go to the hospital occasionally?
32:54Oh, I suppose you're a consultant partner down there, are you?
32:57Well, I don't care.
32:58Two days.
32:59Guaranteed.
33:00Uh, is there any chance of a sub?
33:03Sub?
33:03For materials, like?
33:04You've got all your materials.
33:06We must have give and take in business.
33:17You're not even sweating.
33:18Ah, that was fun.
33:19Not running.
33:20Come on.
33:20Come on.
33:24How about a nice cup of tea, eh?
33:35Tea will be lovely.
33:36Come on.
33:39Oh, uh, there's a shower through there if you want it.
33:41Okay.
33:44You haven't asked me to come to the fight.
33:46I didn't think you'd like to.
33:48I've never seen a boxing match.
33:51This won't have a lot to do with boxing.
33:54No, it'd just be good for the punters, that's all.
33:57Old pros slow down, you see.
33:59You can see all the punches and all the misses.
34:02A bit pathetic, really.
34:04You make it sound sad.
34:06Well, it is a bit.
34:07Is it painful?
34:09No.
34:09Well, body punchy sometimes, I suppose.
34:13I mean, all the blood, it always looks much worse for the punters than it really is.
34:16Now, it's funny with pain.
34:18Depends whether you win or lose.
34:21Anyway, you wouldn't like it.
34:23I mean, they're special to birds who go to fights.
34:25Relaxing?
34:38That's my boy.
34:39I woke up this morning and I said to myself, this is it.
34:42Erwin Dawes had a dream.
34:44You won.
34:45And she's very hot on the premonition thing, you know.
34:47When I had that little Crown Court business, she had a...
34:50Oh, my God.
34:52Do you remember, Nicky?
34:53This is Arthur.
34:54You haven't?
34:54I mean, broad daylight a few hours before a fight.
34:57Nicky's just had a shower.
34:58We were jogging.
34:59Well, that's what they call it nowadays, is it?
35:01Arthur, you realise what you're doing, don't you?
35:03Draining your vital fluids.
35:05As for you, miss, any more like you, there'll be four million on the old King Cole.
35:08This is my day off.
35:09Oh, yeah?
35:09Handing out your supplementary benefits.
35:11Well, listen, you.
35:12Look, I'm sorry.
35:12I didn't warn you about him, did I?
35:14And I don't like his innuendo.
35:16Well, cover yourself up for a start.
35:17I'm as liberal as the next man.
35:18No, you're not.
35:19Well, I walk into a well-known bird bandit's lair.
35:21Shut up.
35:22Find some comely richard, front of your aris, round the gaff.
35:24We were just about to have some tea.
35:26Tea?
35:27You're supposed to be having a medical check.
35:28All right, no sweat.
35:30No sweat?
35:31I'm the one who's sweating.
35:37Any illnesses recently?
35:39No.
35:39What?
35:40No, I've been all right.
35:41I'm fine.
35:42There's nothing wrong with your eyes, is there?
35:44No.
35:46No, they're fine.
35:48He's deaf as a post.
35:49That don't mean he's not a good doctor.
35:50Yeah, I'd like to have a go at that.
35:52I'd like mine done.
35:53Well, of course you can.
35:55Might as well, eh?
35:56I've got higher pressure than you.
35:59Oh, excuse me.
36:02A doctor.
36:05Listen, you're going to be at the ringside?
36:08Ringside?
36:09Yeah, you know, that big square thing with ropes round it.
36:11Well, of course.
36:12Open your mouth, please.
36:14What?
36:14A couple of nasty cavities at the back.
36:19He's a bleeding dentist.
36:20You should see your dentist.
36:22Huh?
36:23Yes, and you should see your doctor as well.
36:25Why?
36:26What?
36:27Uncle, why?
36:29I don't want to worry you.
36:30Well, you are.
36:31And I'm not sleeping well at nights either.
36:33How high is it?
36:34High enough.
36:35Oh, God.
36:36It's your entrepreneur's disease, isn't it?
36:38They're dropping like flies in Throgmorton Street.
36:41Look at you.
36:42Fit as a flea.
36:43That's because you don't do any work.
36:45What am I doing tonight, then?
36:46It's manual, isn't it?
36:47Physical.
36:48You, Terry.
36:50Churchill had what I've got.
36:52Can't you give me a tablet to get me through the night?
36:55Just try your usual dozen large vodkas.
36:57That's nice, isn't it?
36:58I suppose you think that's funny.
37:00Don't worry, Mr. Daly.
37:02Oral hygiene is very important,
37:04but nobody's ever been known to die from cavities.
37:07What's he going on about?
37:08I think he's saying you'll get by.
37:11Listen, Doctor, have you examined Wilson?
37:14Yes, he's fine.
37:16What about his eyes?
37:17Oh, A1.
37:19Are you sure?
37:20Are you doubting my competence?
37:22Oh, not at all, sir.
37:23No, I wouldn't dream of it.
37:26God would help us.
37:27If he's his doctor, what do you reckon on the referee?
37:28I hope you won't expect too much help from me in the corner, Terry.
37:31With my problem.
37:34Terry!
37:34That could have given me a heart attack!
37:56Good Lord.
37:57Why ain't he saying anything?
38:00He's edgy, aren't he?
38:01Bit of pressure, see?
38:02Don't use that word.
38:03I will.
38:04Is he confident?
38:06Of course he is.
38:07I've seen him like him.
38:09Mean.
38:11I am here, you know.
38:12I can talk.
38:13And Harvey was the same.
38:15Calm, but at the same time, edgy.
38:18Calm and edgy.
38:20Wonderful, isn't it?
38:21He's ready to do the business.
38:23He's got enough confidence.
38:24Yeah.
38:24Yeah.
38:24Yeah.
38:25Yeah.
38:25Yeah.
38:25Yeah.
38:25Yeah.
38:25Yeah.
38:26Yeah.
38:26Yeah.
38:26Yeah.
38:27Okay, chaps.
38:31A capacity crowd.
38:33Yeah, and I sell most of them tickets.
38:34I still haven't had any other money yet.
38:36Oh, yeah.
38:37Yeah.
38:38How's your boy?
38:39Oh, terrific.
38:39Terrific.
38:41All right, let's do some shadow boxing.
38:45Come on.
38:46Up on your toes.
38:47That's it.
38:48Now, inside.
38:49Inside.
38:50Boom.
38:50That's it.
38:51Good, good.
38:51Good answer, boy.
38:52Well, that's it.
38:53That's it.
38:59That's for the tickets.
39:01Any, um, betting around?
39:04Plenty.
39:05Even Steven, see.
39:06You fancy him, Terry?
39:08Oh, I'm not a betting man, but he's fit.
39:11I, uh, I hear Wilson hasn't done a lot of work.
39:13Like, see, I'll drink and all that.
39:15Oh, but he's got the class.
39:16Yeah.
39:17But you want to bet Teddy?
39:19Well.
39:20Who do I see?
39:23I should have known.
39:24Well, you're a monkey on the purse, so why don't you double it?
39:27Yeah, but if he loses, I'll lose everything, then.
39:30Quick, aren't you?
40:26What's that?
40:53That's Eric's cousin.
40:54She fought Jack Bodell.
40:55She goes to the loser.
40:56Ladies and gentlemen, this is the main event of tonight's boxing, a middleweight bout
41:07of ten rounds boxing, introducing the popular Fulham typhoon, Terry McCann.
41:14That's my boy.
41:16Was that your idea?
41:17It's an image, isn't it?
41:18And one of the greats, ex-middleweight champion of Britain and the Commonwealth, Jackie Wilson.
41:25I hope you've got your notebook, Andy.
41:26I hope you've got your notebook, Andy.
41:41There's plenty of faces around here on the wanted list.
41:45It's Archie Harris.
41:46He's supposed to be in Parkhurst.
41:47We've got plenty of time, Terry.
41:49Let's feel him out.
41:50Knock him out now.
41:51Let's go home early.
41:54Tickets away.
41:55Round one.
41:56Get him out now.
42:04Go on.
42:08Check in.
42:13Go on.
42:13Get me.
42:18Go on, Terry.
42:20Go on, Terry.
42:22Be the governor.
42:23Be the governor.
42:23Go on.
42:25Launch his boat, Terry.
42:30Whack it, Wilson.
42:33Come on, Terry.
42:35Come on, Terry.
42:38Come on, then, Terry.
42:40Get him out, Terry.
42:41Get him out, Terry.
42:49Come on.
42:49Come on, Terry.
42:49Don't let him sit down, he'll go to sleep.
42:57What's going on?
42:58Don't want to fight.
42:59Well, that's no reason for you not to fight.
43:01I've got dough on this.
43:02Oh, no.
43:03Oh, it's the Fulham Typhoon.
43:04So let's get busy.
43:06You do something.
43:07Tell him about Len Harvey and Tommy Farr.
43:09Just settle down, son.
43:11You've got nothing to beat.
43:17Be first, son.
43:18Second's away.
43:20Round two.
43:37Take it easy, yeah?
43:39You're knackered.
43:39We've got a dodgy eye.
43:40Fall over, then.
43:44I don't mean anything.
43:46Don't hit me up.
43:47Don't want to in body shots.
43:48That's okay.
43:49I fall over, then.
43:51Make it good, then.
43:52I'll take it easy, yeah, he can't be.
43:54Yes.
44:06Don't miss me, Charlie!
44:17That's all right.
44:18Look.
44:19Don't do that.
44:21He'd come to me.
44:22It's all over, son.
44:23I got it.
44:24I'm back.
44:25Oh!
44:26Oh!
44:27Oh!
44:28Oh!
44:29Come on, Mairim!
44:30Come on!
44:31Come on!
44:32Come on!
44:33Come on!
44:34Are you bloody stopping, Bernie?
44:36Oi, Bernie, it's the best day of the night!
44:40Come on!
44:41Oh, my God!
44:42Oh, my God!
44:43Oh, my God!
44:44Come on, buddy!
44:45Come on, buddy!
44:46Come on, buddy!
44:48Come on, buddy!
44:49Come on!
44:50Come on!
44:51Come on, buddy!
44:52Let him through.
45:05Let him through.
45:07Hey, you owe me money, Taff.
45:09How do you reckon?
45:10Definitely. He won, didn't he?
45:11Well, that's a point of debate. I mean, the ref stopped him.
45:14You tell that to Wilson.
45:15We're not talking about Mrs. Queensberry's rules, you know.
45:17You know what I'm going to do about it?
45:19No.
45:20It's like one of those fights that my dar talked about.
45:23Never say that I'm not generous.
45:26You've got a result, Arthur.
45:30Proud of you, son.
45:32Street fight.
45:34Yeah, well, most fighters start, yeah.
45:41Great, ain't it?
45:42We're all regained next month.
45:44Forget that.
45:44Forget it. The world is your lobster, my son.
45:47You've got a new career. People's champion.
45:48I had a career seven years ago, remember?
45:51You didn't get him away at all.
45:53He'll have me bleeding teeth out.
46:00What are you doing? You're supposed to be taking us to lunch.
46:03A couple of minutes. I'm just refurbishing one of my new properties.
46:06Hang about.
46:10Does it hurt?
46:11No, a little bit, that's all.
46:13If you had a real job, you could claim industrial compensation.
46:15Compensation.
46:17Compensation?
46:18From Arthur.
46:19Oh, oh.
46:20First of all, it's time to wait till the end of the day.
46:25We're at the end of the day, so we can get some food.
46:30We're at the end of the day.
46:33It's time to get to the end of the day.
46:36And, the day I was going to get to the end of the day.
46:41We're going to get to the end of the day.
46:48Who are you?
47:16I might ask the same of you.
47:17I happen to own this apartment.
47:19What are you, squatter?
47:22I live here.
47:23Oh, no.
47:25Not Harry's wife.
47:27I'm afraid you've been blown out, my dear.
47:29If you will go off a double glazing salesman,
47:31desert a domestic home,
47:32I'm not surprised Harry sold a gaff.
47:34Sold?
47:35This is a council flat.
47:37Madam, I happen to be the legal tenant.
47:42What did you say?
47:43It's a council flat.
47:45Oh, my God.
47:47Oh, my God.
47:47Yeah
47:50oh
48:18I'm sick.
48:19Never mind, a good lunch will sort you up.
48:20A little food?
48:22Yeah, and you're paying for it.
48:24Terry, I want to go home.
48:27You all right?
48:29Dirty Harry's ripped me off, and the Jack's just gone right up me, eh, Wayne?
48:33Oh, no, don't make me laugh.
48:35Oh!
