00:05Come on! Come on!
00:24Look, suppose there's an objection.
00:26For the first four?
00:27I've got an objection. Calling that tortoise a dog.
00:29Looking at it in the wings.
00:30You'd have never have sussed if he'd got a wooden leg, would you?
00:33What are you doing?
00:3650 feet!
00:36Oh, well, bad luck, Georgie. Bad luck, son.
00:39Have you got anything lined up?
00:41Yeah. Curly Green's got a game coming up from some punters
00:43that are coming down to the Earl's Court show.
00:45Curly? I won't be cheap.
00:47Dodger! How are you, son? What are you doing down here?
00:50I'm doing a London book. He's a good turn-on.
00:52What, you've been transferred? Are you same club or what?
00:54Yeah, no, right. I just came down for a bit of a change, impulse.
00:57Well, wouldn't you just call me or something?
00:59You know, we got in tonight, didn't I?
01:00Oh, it's fantastic to see you, son.
01:05Hey, you wouldn't believe it.
01:07Hey, remember old Fiddler Bowman?
01:08Yeah.
01:09We only sent him home for his passport when he had a friendly match in Glasgow.
01:13And he went for it.
01:15And you would have done it.
01:16There's no such thing as a friendly match in Glasgow.
01:18You're right there, son.
01:19All right, my show.
01:20George, give it, man, son. Go on.
01:22Thanks, sir.
01:26What's occurring then, Dodge?
01:28Don't get you.
01:29Oh, come on, son.
01:30I could always see through you like an open window.
01:33Everything's terrific.
01:35Don't try and Connor Connor.
01:37Come on.
01:38I'm just a bit short for the moment.
01:41Is that all?
01:42Well, forget it.
01:43I'll take care.
01:44I knew you'd save it.
01:45I didn't want to tell you.
01:47Well, what are friends for?
01:48What is it?
01:49Some bird, is it?
01:51No, it's actually that.
01:52Now, I'm a bit of bother with the bookies up north.
01:55So I thought I'd scarper for a while, let things cool off.
01:58Well, I'm glad you did, because you came to the right blow.
02:00It's not on.
02:02I won't have it.
02:02It's my pleasure.
02:03How much do you need?
02:05It's a bit heavy.
02:07But I'll pick you back up.
02:08Stop rabbiting.
02:08Just tell me the damage.
02:13Sorry about this, Dodge, but the OPR has got the jeg for the night.
02:19Next time, you walk.
02:24Where are you staying then, Dodge?
02:25My place.
02:26Eh?
02:27Yeah, we fixed that up, mate, while he was in the cars.
02:29In the cars?
02:30Yeah.
02:31What's Doreen going to say then?
02:32Oh, quite a lot.
02:34But it won't change nothing.
02:35Ha, ha, ha.
02:36Ha, ha.
02:37So I might.
02:37Ha, ha, ha.
02:38What a marriage.
02:39A delight.
02:40Ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:42Ha, ha, ha.
02:45Ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:53Diamond and Sun.
02:55Yes.
02:56That's right.
02:57Oh, hello, Mr. Bonner.
03:00I'm sorry, he hasn't come in yet.
03:04Excuse me, Mr. Bonner, but he is not here.
03:12I think there must be some mistake.
03:14I typed the letter and made the check out myself.
03:17Yes.
03:19£1,827.40p.
03:22That's right.
03:24Yes, without fail.
03:27Good-bye, Mr. Bonner.
03:29You'll have to ring him, you know, that's the third time this morning.
03:32Yes, I will, later.
03:33I mean, I don't know what he's on about.
03:35At least we gave him his money.
03:38You did post it, didn't you?
03:41Oh, my God.
03:44Look, there's no problem.
03:45Don't worry about it.
03:46All he's got to do is to look at things logically.
03:48He sounded about as logical as a doberman with toothache.
03:51Oh, that's right, you be clever.
03:55Oh, I'm sorry, Jan.
03:59You're the last person I should be talking to like that.
04:02It's all right.
04:04Just this constant pressure, the firm, people relying on me.
04:08Too much responsibility.
04:10I know.
04:11You see, it's so bloody aggravating.
04:13If any of the people who owe me money would cough up...
04:15Nettleton, for a start.
04:16Yes, two grand on.
04:17I mean, if he'd come through, we'd be laughing.
04:18I just rung his office again.
04:19He's still in Spain.
04:241,800 quid.
04:29So bloody stupid.
04:35I didn't know it was leap year.
04:38How'd it go last night?
04:39Doreen and Dodger.
04:40Hey, he's got the gift of the gob, hasn't he?
04:41Yeah, I lay him 6 to 4 on against Terry Wogan.
04:44After half an hour with Doreen, she was telling him he could stop as long as he liked.
04:47Where is he now?
04:47I left him on the phone to some geezer in Highwitlam.
04:51Oh, Dodger, he's still pretty good, isn't he?
04:53Ten years ago, he was going to be England's bright new star.
04:56Oh, yeah.
04:57Then he fizzled out booze, women, gambling.
05:00Well, especially gambling.
05:01I mean, if you're a footballer, you can't afford to miss a training session for an England match, can you?
05:05Oh, he still plays.
05:07Fourth division, mind.
05:08Slipped down faster than a dose of salt, and he hasn't got that much further to go.
05:11You reckon, do you?
05:12Aye.
05:18Got a minute.
05:19No, not now.
05:20Oh, come on, it's important.
05:22I'll be home tonight.
05:23No, this morning.
05:24What time are you having lunch?
05:25Usual time.
05:26Well, I'll meet you in the park, usual place.
05:27How about burgers?
05:29Suppose you'd like me to get them?
05:30That's favourite.
05:30Mine's without onions.
05:38You all right?
05:39Yeah, I'm OK.
05:42OK.
05:44You look terrible.
05:46Well, a late night, wasn't it?
05:47Oh, yeah.
05:50They're famous, these burgers.
05:52Nothing special?
05:53Must be all this fresh air giving me an appetite.
05:55I'm not used to it.
05:56Come on, what's this all about?
05:58Eh?
05:59Oh, yeah, the game.
06:01The game?
06:02Curly Greens game.
06:03They've upped the sit-down money.
06:05OK.
06:06So they've upped it?
06:07It's two grand now.
06:09Two thousand?
06:10Yeah, but you're bigger, isn't it?
06:11Two thousand?
06:12You've never paid two thousand.
06:13Two grand.
06:16Don't you believe me?
06:17Eh?
06:20I'll tell you straight, Robbie, sometimes I don't know who or what to believe.
06:24Oh, thanks.
06:25Thanks very much.
06:26Everywhere I turn, there's somebody screaming for money.
06:31You're going to get it out, or what?
06:36Yes.
06:37Good.
06:38I can't get it just by going in and asking for it, you know.
06:41You'll have to wait.
06:45Cash flow?
06:46Cash flow?
06:47We've all got cash flow problems, and you're the sort of bloke who causes them.
06:51Well, I've waited long enough.
06:53Why can't you be reasonable?
06:56I've told you, you'll have your money in, but a couple of weeks, look, three at the outside.
07:02You've broken more promises and told more lies than a politician.
07:07I'll tell you what I'll do.
07:08I'll give you 48 hours before I take action.
07:12Come on, Simon.
07:14Look, what the hell are we talking to each other like this for?
07:17I mean, we're mates, aren't we?
07:21I mean, it's not everybody that I lend my flat to, you know.
07:26No, I suppose not.
07:27And how's your wife?
07:28Sheila, isn't it?
07:32I see.
07:33Yes, it's Sheila.
07:34She's very well, thank you.
07:35Let me tell you something about her.
07:37She knows me.
07:38She knows I stray a bit, but I always come back.
07:41And if I tell her somebody's trying to put the black on me for a bit of nonsense...
07:44Wait a minute, who said...
07:45It won't cost me a right rucking and a new coat.
07:48And then she'll be down here to spit in your eye after she's cut her ears off.
07:52Hey, you've got me wrong.
07:53I've got you right.
07:55Any sympathy I ever had for you has just gone down the pan.
07:58All right.
08:00You sue me.
08:04It'll take more than a couple of weeks to get to the court.
08:07By the time I've made the court an offer...
08:09Oh, no.
08:09I'm not just going to sue you.
08:11I'm going to make you bankrupt.
08:14You can't do that.
08:16Oh, Simon, look.
08:17It really is just a question of cash flow.
08:21You've got 48 hours.
08:23I'll be back.
08:33I heard.
08:35He means it.
08:37A bastard.
08:38He really means it.
08:39It sounded like it.
08:42God, it's so damned unfair.
08:44But if I don't find that money, we'll all be done for.
08:46They'll all come howling round here for their money and there won't be much left at the end, I can
08:49tell you.
08:51There'll be no jobs for anyone.
08:53Nothing.
08:55God, a couple of thousand just for a week or two.
08:57That's all I need.
08:58I don't know.
09:12I don't know.
09:21Curly, it's Robbie Box.
09:22Yeah, listen, you know that game you're going to get together for those punters coming down
09:26to the old school show?
09:27Yeah, well, listen, son, I'm not going to be able to make it.
09:31I'm sorry, no, it's just that I need the money for, you know, a person for reasons.
09:35Yeah, I'm sorry, yeah.
09:37But keep me posted about this, will you?
09:39Okay, son, sorry again.
09:40Cheers, bye.
09:49Hey, Dodge, about the money, um, with one thing and another, it's going to take a bit
09:56of time.
09:57All right, so my son, forget it, never took you real serious.
10:01No, listen, I was on the level, I'm not giving my word for that, I mean, it's just, it's just
10:05a question of time.
10:06Yeah, sure.
10:21Cheers.
10:22Cheers.
10:22Yeah, cheers.
10:26Worry chances for Saturday then, don't you?
10:29Well, they aren't bad for non-leaguers, but we'll staff them all right.
10:34Non-leaguers, what's with?
10:36Well, it's the cup this weekend, man.
10:38It's like they're playing a non-league side from up north.
10:41Oh, yeah.
10:48Oh, don't slam the door.
10:50Sorry.
10:50Just be careful, that's all.
10:52What's occurring, man?
10:53Oh, don't start copying him.
10:56Well, what's the matter then?
10:57You've been up for all evening.
10:59Just because I don't like you slamming doors and getting in my way, will you mind out?
11:04Doesn't mean there's anything wrong.
11:07It's Robbie, isn't it?
11:08It's him.
11:10Yes.
11:11No!
11:13Yes!
11:14Well, it's him and a lot of things.
11:16Are you still off him?
11:18We haven't been sleeping together for ages.
11:22It's 11 days.
11:24It's not going to be a doddle finding another fella.
11:27Oh, thanks very much.
11:29I'm not exactly an old wrinkly ready for a shawl and rocking chair quite yet.
11:33Well, at least he's on the level.
11:35For a bloke, that is.
11:40I'll give him a ring tomorrow.
11:43No work at the yard this morning.
11:45Looking very iffy down there.
11:47What do you fancy?
11:48Not much.
11:50Hi, Dodge.
11:50Old Dodger.
11:51Got a message for you.
11:52Yeah?
11:53That bloke in High Wiggum, or wherever, he said it's got to be next week.
11:57All right.
11:58Good morning.
11:58Hey, your club.
12:00Won't they be worried about you?
12:01It's only been three days.
12:03I get used to it.
12:05If they don't like it, they can stuff it.
12:07I mean, you're on a weekly contract, aren't you, Murray?
12:15Well?
12:17Don't push it, Dodge.
12:18It'll take time, but I'll get the money.
12:20All right?
12:31Hello, Bobby boy.
12:34Crusher.
12:35That's Bobby Box.
12:37Getting enough?
12:39With fair share.
12:40Yeah.
12:42Well, there.
12:43Dodge of Dawkins, isn't it?
12:45Mate of yours?
12:46From way back.
12:48I hear some blokes out north are looking for you.
12:50And not for your autograph.
12:52This is Frank Aldino.
12:53He's in the sort of insurance business.
12:55This is Denny.
12:57Sense of humor and respect.
12:58That's what I like about you, Bobby.
13:00Respect's very important.
13:02Are you going to tell them?
13:04What, the sweet bashers up north?
13:06None of my business, son.
13:08Eyes open, mouth shut, never volunteer for nothing.
13:10That's the way to get on.
13:11Mind you, if somebody was to actually ask about you, Dodger...
13:17Yeah, well, that's a different matter, you see.
13:19Then we'd have to offer them the professional courtesies and say,
13:22I know where I could put my hands on the thief and get there looking for.
13:25But until somebody actually asks...
13:29Crusher, Denny?
13:35I didn't like a look at that big one.
13:38I'd be like an undertaker.
13:41They're really as tough as they try to make out.
13:43They're not trying.
13:43They are.
13:44They put people in the ground.
14:08They're just looking for you.
14:34Mr. Nettleton, back from Spain, I see.
14:38What? Oh, yeah. Henry Diamond. I was just coming round to see you.
14:44Well, I've saved you a trip, then. This is our lucky day. Mine especially.
14:48Always did say that clean living brings its own reward.
14:53Good God, is that the time?
14:57Don't go, Tom. We've got lots to talk over. Old times. Business.
15:04Oh, dear. I must watch myself. When I get a bit excited, I tend to shout a bit.
15:13Everybody can hear every word I say.
15:22OK.
15:30Fancy a breath of fresh air?
15:31What, round here?
15:32Oh, come on.
15:34What are you after?
15:36Nothing.
15:38OK.
15:41Well?
15:43Well, you know that two grand?
15:45Yeah?
15:46It's for a loan.
15:47Oh, it's for a loan now?
15:48Well, a mate of mine, you see, he's in Dechtook.
15:50Two thousand?
15:52Well, who's it for? What's he done?
15:54Well, he's getting a lot of heavy aggro from his bookies up north.
15:57What?
15:58Well, it's only temporary. I mean, he's going to pay me back.
16:01Well, if he can't pay his bookies up north, how's he going to pay you?
16:04Well, it's not the same, is it?
16:05Too true. He's not going to be scared of you.
16:08Well, who is it?
16:09Dodger Dawkins.
16:10What, the footballer?
16:11Yeah, well, he's an old mate, see?
16:12Even I know about him.
16:13He starts at the top and works his way down.
16:15He's an old mate.
16:16Now, I know I kidded you along at the beginning, but I'm come clean with you now, am I?
16:19Oh, two grand for an old mate.
16:20Oh, I get it, I get it.
16:22He conned you wrong.
16:23Oh, don't talk rubbish.
16:24Look, you haven't seen him for, what, five, ten years?
16:27Well, what's the difference, then?
16:29He's conned you.
16:30Look, it's my money, it's mine.
16:31Look, if you're so free with your money, why don't you chuck something in Henry Diamond's direction?
16:35Diamond?
16:35Yes, Diamond.
16:36You're joking, aren't you?
16:37Look, if something doesn't turn up soon for Henry, he's finished.
16:40Oh, yeah.
16:40I can see it coming a mile off.
16:41Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:42And if Henry is still...
16:43Will you listen?
16:43What?
16:44And I'm finished, too.
16:45It's still my money.
16:47God, too true.
16:49Dead right.
16:50You, yours, your money, Robbie Box.
16:52What?
16:53Oh, God!
16:57You're so irresponsible!
16:58Shut up!
17:00Okay, look.
17:02I should get your money, all right?
17:03I should get the whole 8,000, and you can look after the whole bloody lot yourself.
17:08And see where it gets you, okay?
17:27Oh, there you are, Mrs. Oliver.
17:29Come in here for a minute, will you?
17:31Yeah.
17:31Yeah, okay.
17:38What's this, a farewell drink on the Titanic?
17:40Not exactly.
17:42Guess who I saw today?
17:45Tom Nettleton.
17:46What, he came round here?
17:48No, I spotted him going into a pub.
17:50So I sat next to him and spoke in a very loud voice.
17:53He was very embarrassed.
17:56Hush money.
17:58£2,119.20.
18:01Right date.
18:02Right name.
18:03Oh.
18:05Marvellous.
18:06Cheers.
18:07Cheers.
18:16I'll be on my way soon, Rob.
18:17Why?
18:18What's up?
18:18Nothing.
18:19I know, yeah.
18:21Well, that old Dino bloke spotted me, so I'll get an adder if anything drastic happens.
18:25What are you going to do?
18:25You mean, you're going to go back to your club or something?
18:27Oh, stuff that lot.
18:28Oh, I'm going to stay with a friend, aren't I?
18:31Oi.
18:33Sorry.
18:35You're Dodger Dawkins, aren't you?
18:36You got it.
18:38My dad says you're useless.
18:40Cheeky little sod.
18:41Get off.
18:41Go on.
18:46Ah, his dad's got me bang to rights.
18:51I'm as good as finished and I'm not 35 yet.
18:54I don't even own a decent watch.
18:57Not to mention Evie's blowing down my neck for a couple of grand.
19:01See ya.
19:03Yeah.
19:06It's just as I said, Simon.
19:08Merely a temporary cash flow problem.
19:11I mean, one of our overdue accounts was paid and so?
19:14Oh, thanks.
19:15Thanks very much.
19:16Look, if I came on a bit strong the other day, you know how it is, don't you?
19:20Yes, of course.
19:21As a matter of fact, I had to use a little bit of friendly pressure myself.
19:25Well, thanks again.
19:26Oh, and next Monday I'll be sending you an order for chipboard and cement.
19:30Well, look forward to hearing from you.
19:31Fine.
19:31Oh, and Simon, the flat, any time.
19:40Goodbye, Mr. Bonner.
19:42Cheerio, love.
19:47Chancer.
19:53Well, considering the way things have worked out, you don't seem very happy.
19:56Oh, sorry.
19:58I don't need three guesses.
20:05Hey, Rob!
20:08What's up?
20:09I've been thinking about Dodger.
20:10Oh, yeah.
20:11About him not going back to his club.
20:12Go on, I thought he was just constipated.
20:14Oh, will you listen, man?
20:16What?
20:16What if you knew that in a two-horse race,
20:18one of the runners had a sore ligament or something?
20:23Are you trying to tell us that Dodger not playing
20:26is going to make all that much difference to his side?
20:28Well, without him, the non-leaguers, the bottlers,
20:30well, they'd be definite favourites.
20:32Why the bottlers?
20:33Oh, there used to be a works team, a glass works.
20:35Shut up, George.
20:36Why?
20:37Why?
20:37Well, have you seen Dodger play?
20:39No.
20:39I mean, he's a bolt man.
20:41Oh, he does the flashy little one-twos,
20:42but really, he does nothing.
20:44But now and then, he makes a good run
20:47and puts a straight one right through the other defence.
20:49Now, the team's got a striker,
20:52and he's built like a North Sea Derrick.
20:54Point him in the right direction, say go,
20:56and he'd run through tank traps.
20:58Classic English centre-forward.
21:00In the fourth division, he scores a lot of goals
21:02and wins a lot of games.
21:03Thanks to Dodger.
21:04Dodger lays on everything.
21:06Without him, the only time the striker would touch the ball
21:08would be the kick-off.
21:11So, you reckon this other mob, the Bottlers,
21:16are certs to win?
21:17Why, there's no such thing as a dead cert,
21:19but this is a cup tie,
21:21and you can get a bet on a single cup match.
21:24So, they're offering odds against the Bottlers winning,
21:27but now Dodger's not playing against them,
21:28they should be odds on.
21:30On the nose?
21:31But mind, we can't hang about,
21:33because once the news gets...
21:34What a stroke to put on old Gil, eh?
21:36Only I'm skint.
21:38No, we not much better.
21:40I'll tell you what,
21:41I'll go and try and scrape a few actors together.
21:43I'll see you at Gil's at about, what, three?
21:46Mind Rob, don't blame me if it doesn't get...
21:48Don't worry, son.
21:49Listen, if I can get odds on what should be an odds-on bet,
21:52I mean, in a two-walls race,
21:54it could be Christmas.
21:55Could be Christmas.
22:07Robbie, boy.
22:08You are a very hard man to find.
22:10Well, depends where you look, don't it?
22:12Next week, er,
22:13you wasn't thinking of going on holiday or nothing, huh?
22:15Why?
22:17Don't.
22:17Mr Aldino would like a little chat.
22:20Oh, I get it, yeah.
22:21Don't leave town, yeah.
22:23Well, highly comic with Robbie, boy.
22:25Your sense of humour could be the day for me.
22:27Or do.
22:30See ya.
22:31Yeah.
22:58Mr Robby Box?
23:00Yeah?
23:01Who wants it?
23:02Package.
23:04Oh.
23:05Sorry, please.
23:07Oh, sure.
23:13Hey, I'm.
23:14Breaking.
23:15Thanks so much.
23:17Oh, yeah.
23:19Oh, yeah.
23:19Oh, yeah.
23:55Well, you've been, we should be working, you know.
23:57Slow down, sunshine.
23:58I had to get some scratch together.
24:00Now, let me do the chat, all right?
24:02Hello, Joni.
24:03Um, is the beast from 20,000 Feathers here?
24:07He's in the back filing his teeth.
24:08Oh, great.
24:09Yeah, Rob.
24:10What?
24:10What I hear about you and Joni, does it split up?
24:13I don't know what you heard, but you could have put it better.
24:16Gil, Robbie would like a word.
24:21Hello, Gil.
24:25No credit.
24:26God, you've got a nasty mind, eh, Jack?
24:28What do you want?
24:28Football.
24:29Didn't know you was an expert.
24:31Well, I'm not.
24:31I just had a feeling.
24:32Nice.
24:33I ain't had one for weeks.
24:34Look, the bottle is Saturday.
24:35What are you offering them to win?
24:36Same as everybody else.
24:37Where's my list?
24:40Sorry, Joni.
24:45There, there.
24:46Oh, them.
24:47To win threes.
24:49Three to one?
24:49They're not even a league club.
24:51Only things happen in the cup.
24:52Well, threes is hilarious.
24:53Right, lads?
24:54On your bikes.
24:55Let's try up Westfield Avenue.
24:57Yeah, I better...
24:58Hold on.
25:01Do you, uh, know something?
25:02Yeah, you're as tight as a mouse's fart.
25:04They should be five to one at least.
25:05Come on.
25:06But can't you stand still just for a minute?
25:08The match ain't till Saturday.
25:10What do you want?
25:11A win?
25:11Yep.
25:12A straight win.
25:14No draw.
25:16Well, Robbie, seeing as how it's you, let's...
25:18Let's split the difference.
25:20Let's call it four.
25:23No wonder you've got houses in Bermuda.
25:25I'll take it.
25:26Yeah.
25:27Give him four to one on the bottles.
25:30To win only.
25:32Gotcha.
25:33Who's first?
25:33Me, pet.
25:34Five.
25:35Five.
25:41How are we going?
25:43What?
25:44To see the match.
25:46Wanted to be sold out.
25:48No way.
25:50They're only a fourth division side now, but they've got a first division ground.
25:54Won't be more than a quarter full.
25:56Hey, I'll take this.
25:58How far is it?
25:59Oh, getting on for 150 miles.
26:01We'd better start now, then.
26:05Here.
26:06Where'd you get the 400 from?
26:07I thought you said you were skint.
26:08The necklace.
26:11Wish you hadn't put that on, Sean.
26:14My responsibility, Geordie.
26:15Don't worry.
26:17Here.
26:19When you popped that necklace, I thought you only ever borrowed three.
26:24That was when I was meaning to get it out again.
26:26Oh.
26:30Oh.
26:32Come on.
26:33Come on, let's go.
26:34Get out of the way.
26:35Come on.
26:38Come on.
26:40Come on.
26:42Come on.
26:52That's it.
26:57Come on, motherfuckers!
27:19Not very exciting.
27:23A donkey race will be if you've got 400 subs going on it, wouldn't it?
27:27Really?
27:34Come on, relax!
27:36You better cut the tree, let's have a goal!
27:39Come on!
27:45Off him!
27:46Off him!
27:48He's on the side.
27:49He's on the side!
27:54Let's go!
27:56Of him!
28:03Of him!
28:05Go!
28:10Of him!
28:16It's going to be a goalless draw. I'll feed it in me water.
28:19It's no good to anybody, except guilt.
28:29He's got it! He's got a goal! He's got a goal!
28:32He's got a goal!
28:33He's grabbed it, son! He's grabbed it!
28:36What?
28:40A bit of a streaky goal, that, wasn't it?
28:47How much longer to go, Geordie?
28:49Well, you've got a watchman.
28:51I can't bear to look.
28:53Five more minutes.
28:55It was six minutes, a quarter of an hour ago.
29:01Yes, hello, Martin. Here at Longwood Park, the Bottlers are still that single goal up.
29:06Although their four-division hosts have kept them penned into their own half for much of the last 25 minutes.
29:11But for all that, the league side's attack hasn't had many clear-cut goal chances
29:14without the subtle skills of Dodger Dawkins to prize open a rugged, uncompromising, and most of all, hard-working defence.
29:24Injury time.
29:51Injury time.
29:51Yard offside.
29:52I must say, Brown looked a good yard offside when the pass was made.
29:56In any case, the referee says no, so it's no goal.
29:59The Bottlers are still one-up with what must be only seconds to play.
30:03For the shield.
30:06Go.
30:07Get up there.
30:08Get up there.
30:08Get up there!
30:13Get up there!
30:17That's it!
30:18Get up there!
30:20Get up there!
30:21You say five seasons.
30:23You can't finish.
30:26Go!
30:28Go!
30:30Go!
30:32Jordan, my son, you're a bloody marvel.
30:36I'll have you more.
30:40We are the champions.
30:42Where'd you get that bungee out of here?
30:43That could have been dangerous.
30:46You did it. You craft a young devil.
30:49Thanks for the young. Do you want a drink?
30:50Yeah, gin or something.
30:51Large one, please, Syl.
30:52I'll take care of these.
30:53Cheers.
30:54It will be a breeze dance cover.
30:55You won't pop too.
30:56Well, how could you tell, eh?
30:59Cheers.
31:00Cheers, my babe.
31:02Hello, mate.
31:06Hello, Dodge. How are you?
31:07No word, Robbie, eh?
31:08Yeah, sure. Hang on, John. We'll be tick.
31:11What's up?
31:12Listen, Robbie, mate. I'm sorry to be on the ear well like this.
31:15It might be gents up north. They're getting very excited.
31:17And I was wondering if there's a chance of a sub now, tonight.
31:21Dodge, no, I...
31:21A monkey had calmed down a bit.
31:23No, I'm skint. I'm even having the drinks here on a slate.
31:25Oh, well, I must have heard it wrong, then.
31:27Told me you want to be good enough and bothers.
31:29Yeah, that's right, but I can't collect till Monday, see?
31:31Oh, and I'll be too late, then.
31:32No.
31:33Oh, well, I've got to be on a move.
31:34Right.
31:35That's the way it goes.
31:37Take care, Robbie, eh?
31:38Yeah, you too, Dodge.
31:39What a huge about the smoke put.
31:39I'm gonna go, let the sun go down on the gear.
31:44Oh, let the sun go down.
31:48Oh, let the sun go down on the gear.
31:53I'm gonna go, let the sun go down on the gear.
32:08Oh, my God.
32:28I suppose you'll be coming in at sunrise to collect.
32:31Yeah, you bet, yeah.
32:32I'll be glad to give it to you.
32:35I never look forward to what my money will be too much.
32:37And Saturday's not finished, journey.
32:40Play your cards right, you could be on a short thing before the night's over.
32:50Well, you must have said something pretty diabolical to make him give you the shove.
32:55Mind your own business.
32:56It is my business.
32:58If you're walking around a face that'll turn milk sour and sniffling half the night away, I'll hear you.
33:05And your mum, mum...
33:08Have you done your own look?
33:10Yesterday.
33:13Look, he's no Paul McCartney, but he's all right.
33:17I've got used to Robbie now, and he's quite tasty.
33:23Let's face it, mum.
33:24Mum, when it comes to fellas, you've got one big handicap.
33:27What's that?
33:29Well, me.
33:30Sexy divorcees are one thing, but sexy divorcees with a grown-up kid, well, that's another.
33:37Cheek.
33:39I don't know.
33:41We're always rowing these days.
33:43Oh, well, if you're looking for a bloke you don't row with, you've got to find a deaf and done
33:47millionaire, haven't you?
33:50Look, Robbie wanting to help an old mate.
33:53All right, it might be a bit soft, but it's all right, isn't it?
33:58You don't find many real friends like that, do you?
34:06Thank you, Doris, my darling. Terrific.
34:12Hi, Rob. You got your wages, then?
34:14Yep. Plus interest.
34:15Eh?
34:16The broken-hearted look on old girl's face.
34:18Hey, have you seen this?
34:20About Dodger.
34:22He's signed for some big Yankee club, look.
34:25I should have sussed.
34:26All them phone calls.
34:28That bloke in Highwicker must have been a big players' agent.
34:31Oh, hey.
34:32Fancy doing that behind your close back.
34:34You're not forgetting the monkey you tried to touch me for on his way to the airport.
34:37Right chance he turned out to be, didn't he?
34:39All right, but what's he got now?
34:40No home?
34:41No prospects?
34:42Yeah, no friends, sunshine.
34:44All right.
34:52Robbie?
34:54Denny.
34:55You know, crusher.
34:56Yeah.
34:58What do you feed him on?
34:59People.
35:01Mr. Aldino would like a word.
35:03We'll have to. I'm busy.
35:04No, this won't take long, Robbie.
35:06On the other hand, if you want to argue, it could take a very long time indeed.
35:10Yeah.
35:24Bobby Box.
35:25Good of you to come.
35:27He sweet talked me into it.
35:29Take a seat.
35:31Tom.
35:34Now, just so as we all know who we are and keep it friendly, like, one word outside these
35:38walls, you'll be a permanent part of the M25.
35:40Gotcha.
35:41It's very simple.
35:42I want you to put a bet on for me at 3.53.
35:44You got a good watch?
35:45Yeah.
35:45A marvel of Japanese technology.
35:47It's now lighting up time in Tokyo.
35:50Take a tip, my son.
35:51Take what I say very serious or I could get upset.
35:55Sorry.
35:56Right, there'll be you and a lot of other punters all over the place putting on bets at
36:00exactly 3.53 this afternoon.
36:02Get it?
36:03Yeah, loud and clear.
36:04You know who's going to win and you want to keep the price up.
36:07It's a four-halls race.
36:08Now, one of the runners has been doing his gallops with half-underweight of old ironing
36:11his saddlebags.
36:12Them clever geezer with stopwatches and bins hiding behind bushes on the downs have got it
36:16all wrong.
36:17Yes, I was going to piss past his stable companions on three legs without even breaking sweat.
36:22Sounds almost kosher.
36:24Your don't have a Gil Roach's place.
36:26Oh, that might not be a good idea.
36:28I just pulled a stroke on him.
36:29If I go in with a big wad, he might smell something dodgy.
36:31He might not even take the bet.
36:33Good thinking, son.
36:35You go up to Westfield Avenue, the big one.
36:38Barney?
36:43A monkey.
36:46You haven't asked what's in it for you.
36:48Well, that's easy.
36:49The name of the horse.
36:51You're sharp.
36:52Sharp.
36:52Oh, but your bet goes on at 3.53 with that.
36:56Your bet, my bet.
36:57Nobody else's.
36:59You open your yep, and we'll fill it with cement.
37:03Right.
37:04It's Barnes Bridge in the four o'clock.
37:06It'll be at fours.
37:08How do I pay, um...
37:10Oh, just bring the money in at six.
37:12You're on, Frank.
37:12Just one more thing.
37:14Be very, very careful with my money.
37:17I don't take no excuses.
37:19Never.
37:20For nothing.
37:22Do I get a lift home?
37:24Treat yourself to a curb.
37:26It's your lucky day today.
37:46Hello.
37:48Hello.
37:49Can I come in?
37:51What?
37:52Oh, yeah, sure, yeah.
37:53Come in.
38:00Um, we'll come through the kitchen.
38:03You're not working?
38:04No.
38:05I've got a couple of hours off.
38:07Do you want something to eat?
38:08Yeah, just a cup of tea.
38:10Yeah, I'm not like that package myself.
38:12Um, we'll sit down.
38:14Yeah.
38:19You're thinner.
38:20Hey.
38:21No, it's just a cut of the shirt.
38:25How have you been?
38:27Um, well, you know, up and down and all that.
38:31You?
38:31Oh, same.
38:34Things are a bit better at work.
38:35Oh, that's good.
38:37What's it carrying there?
38:41Well, I came round to tell you I can get your money out tomorrow.
38:44Oh, there's no hurry.
38:45No, I'm not now.
38:47Still.
38:51Debbie sends her a dance.
38:52Oh, that's nice.
38:53Oh, did I tell you that we went off to the football match?
38:57Yeah, Georgie told me.
38:59And about Dodger.
39:01Oh, yeah.
39:02You should have seen old Georgie's wagon.
39:03I know it was all colours, flags, you know, the work and stuff.
39:06Yeah.
39:07It's great.
39:12Yeah, well, I bet we're going.
39:14Hey, Jan.
39:15What?
39:18He was a con man.
39:20You're too soft.
39:22Me?
39:22No, no, he didn't get nothing.
39:23Not a copper.
39:25You're lucky.
39:27I missed you.
39:31I've been a bit down, so.
39:35All for a proper toad.
39:37I don't know why you're seeing me if I'm such a toad.
39:41Maybe it's because when you kiss me, you turn into a fairy prince.
39:58Mac, I bet you turn that cat off.
40:03I'll try and show you whether I'm a fairy or not.
40:13I couldn't go through all that again.
40:15Through all what?
40:17No, no, I didn't mean that. No, no.
40:19No, no, no. I mean getting used to somebody else.
40:21I mean getting to know somebody as well as I've got to know you.
40:24Yeah. Oh, God, I know what you mean, yeah.
40:28Took us long enough.
40:31Yeah, but it's worth it, wasn't it? It's worth it.
40:35It's not just that, though, is it? It's not just bed.
40:39No, no, of course, it's not just that.
40:40No, it's...
40:43You don't... You didn't knock it.
40:45You didn't knock it.
40:49I don't.
40:53Rob? Can I have my necklace back?
40:55Yeah, of course.
40:59Where is it?
41:00I'm having it cleaned.
41:02Oh, you're told!
41:03No! No, no, don't!
41:04No!
41:04It was...
41:05No, no, shh!
41:06It was all in a very, very good course.
41:08I used it to get 1,600 quid.
41:11Now, after expenses,
41:13a bit of working capital,
41:15something to buy,
41:15I'm going to be able to tuck away another 1,000.
41:18That's nine grand, babe.
41:21We're almost there.
41:23Honestly, Rob.
41:24And today, I should be able to jack it up, too.
41:33It's the time.
41:36Oh, my God!
41:48You can't get a minicap in your suit in a quarter of an hour.
42:204 o'clock.
42:28Henry, sorry I was a bit longer.
42:32Are you all right?
42:35Have a drink.
42:37Oh, no, thanks.
42:39Mr. Thomas Nettleton, Esquire.
42:44His cheque,
42:46made of pure rubber,
42:49bounced all the way back from the bank
42:51without even touching the ground.
42:56Account closed.
43:00I went round to his office.
43:03Shucked tight.
43:04Nothing.
43:05A pile of brown envelopes on the mat.
43:08His house was empty, too.
43:10Next-door neighbours said the removal men
43:12had cleared the place yesterday.
43:13Surely we can trace him.
43:15Then what?
43:16Even if I do find the bastard,
43:18it'll take forever to get anything out of him,
43:19and by then, it'll be far, far too late.
43:23Oh, hell.
43:24That means bonus, Chase.
43:25That, too, will bounce right back again.
43:29There must be something we can do.
43:32Yes.
43:35Have a drink.
43:37And pray for a miracle.
43:39A two grand miracle.
43:46Yeah, well, you see,
43:48I had a bit of trouble getting to the bedding shop.
43:50I didn't get there till after the off.
43:53Never mind.
43:54It could happen to any of us.
44:00Thanks, Frank.
44:02And the rest.
44:04But I explained.
44:06No, I'll explain.
44:07We had a deal.
44:09Ah, you put a little bet on for me
44:12and something for yourself if you fancied it.
44:14Now, £500 a four to one that's two grand.
44:16You owe me two grand.
44:18Simple.
44:19Am I right, Bobby boy, or am I right?
44:22You're right.
44:24I haven't got it on me.
44:26Oh, it's no worry.
44:28No worry at all.
44:31Tomorrow I'll do.
44:32Yeah.
44:34Well, don't worry.
44:34You'll get it.
44:36Worry?
44:40Worry?
44:42Two grand.
44:44Tomorrow.
44:45And one more thing.
44:47You know what, Danny?
44:48My book is unreliable.
44:57Sorry.
44:58No, no, it was me.
44:59Don't be silly.
45:01No, I'm worried about the firm.
45:02I mean, I could be out of a job soon.
45:05Sorry.
45:06No, it's all right, Princess.
45:08Anyway, we've got enough in the kitty, haven't we,
45:09to see you through to get another one?
45:11That's yours, to get you straight.
45:13Ours.
45:14And no argument.
45:16You know, when we weren't seeing each other,
45:18something brought me up with a very nasty bump.
45:20I'll dodge her.
45:21I mean, you know, he didn't actually do anything.
45:23I mean, he's...
45:25He just was.
45:26I mean, he was an England footballer.
45:28People asking for his autograph, name in the papers.
45:30I mean, now he's...
45:31He's got one suit, no watch.
45:34He's got no place of his own.
45:35He's got nobody.
45:36He's always on some sort of fiddle.
45:38I mean, where's he going to end up?
45:40Not the only one.
45:42Diamond.
45:45Well, I'm rich.
45:47That reminds me.
45:48I'd better get your money out tomorrow for Frank Aldino.
45:51Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
45:52We've still got about seven grand.
45:56What are you laughing at?
45:59Well, yesterday, my place...
46:02Yes?
46:02Well...
46:06That hour in bed cost me two grand, plus my winnings.
46:10I mean, you're a very expensive bird, you know that.
46:12I mean, two grand an hour.
46:14Last of the big spenders.
46:17Was it worth it?
46:22Every penny, babe.
46:23No, it's worth it.
46:30You
