00:02Is she gone then?
00:03No.
00:05What, got a ticket?
00:06Don't know.
00:08Not one of your best efforts, son.
00:13I'll never forget the look on her face.
00:16But you've got a plan, ain't you?
00:18You always have.
00:19Get the necklace back.
00:20It don't work miracles, but it means a lot, that necklace.
00:23A lot?
00:24Yeah, I bet it does.
00:27700.
00:29Forget the necklace.
00:30It's not just a bit of jewellery, is it?
00:33It's a lot more to know.
00:35I'm talking about my whole life.
00:40Because I won't be here, will I?
00:42What do you mean?
00:43Where are you going?
00:45You call Ozzy home.
00:48Why not?
00:50But what about the Cheltenham sale?
00:51I mean, when do you reckon you're going?
00:55Just as soon as I can get a seat booked on the plane.
00:58Look, when I get the details, I'll let you know, all right?
01:00Look, I've got to go.
01:01I'm in a hurry.
01:03All right, bye.
01:05Bye.
01:15What about the Thursday flight?
01:18Hmm.
01:20Well, have you got a standby for that?
01:24Oh, well, I have to have a think about it and ring you back.
01:26Is that okay?
01:28Okay, thank you.
01:29I want that.
01:30No, sorry, I was talking to somebody else.
01:32Okay, I'll ring back.
01:36Suddenly, everybody's going to Australia.
01:39Well, can't we leave it for a couple of weeks?
01:42I've come halfway round the world.
01:44Before I've turned round, we're going back again.
01:46Somebody made a mistake, love.
01:48I am sorry.
01:49I know it's a bit of a shambles here, but it's fun, isn't it?
01:53You didn't want to come back.
01:55I know.
01:57But all I'm saying is, well, can't we stay just a little bit longer?
02:01I don't want to.
02:04Well, look, just because Robbie's made a cock-up, he doesn't rule my life.
02:10Oh, it makes me cry.
02:13I always cry over there.
02:15Mr. Turnbull.
02:16Graver.
02:18Oh, fine, talk.
02:19You're Mrs. Oliver.
02:21I thought she was supposed to be working for me.
02:25You know, I understand that, Mr. Turnbull.
02:27She's a free agent.
02:28But where does that leave me?
02:31Yeah, that's what I thought.
02:36Do you think you could give her a call?
02:38Tell her what you just told me.
02:42Much appreciated, Mr. Turnbull.
02:45And you.
02:57I'm sorry about yesterday, Tom.
03:00I knew I thought, was it?
03:03What are you talking about?
03:07I'm just saying I'm sorry about yesterday.
03:09You don't deserve it.
03:10You never have.
03:11You don't deserve nothing.
03:14You had it coming to you, son.
03:16Every word of it.
03:18What's this?
03:19A T-shirt.
03:20What's it look like?
03:21It's more like a tea towel.
03:23Oh, don't go on.
03:24And that Debbie.
03:25She stood by you like a proper friend.
03:28After all you've done.
03:30You know what?
03:31You've messed her life up just like you've messed Jan's.
03:33He didn't mean no harm.
03:35He never does.
03:38I'm going up the allotment.
03:41Typical.
03:41Just when you're needed, you're off up to that flaming allotment.
03:45Needed?
03:45For what?
03:46To talk some sense into him.
03:48When it comes to talking, you don't need no help.
03:56And you reckon I've got problems?
03:58Now, listen, son.
03:59He may be a silly old sob, but at least he ain't a walking disaster.
04:02You know you've done those two dirt, and you know that, don't you?
04:05You don't.
04:06Look, it's like she says.
04:07You don't care about anybody else but yourself.
04:10You know nothing, do you?
04:11Nothing.
04:11You'll have a bit of trouble as long as it's somebody else's.
04:13Well, sort out your own mess before you start on other people, all right?
04:18Robbie?
04:31They've got six furlongs to go at Thurston.
04:34Beau Brindle is the lead ahead of Piper's Boy.
04:37Sturney Lee, Juniper Fair and Panda Meter.
04:41With five furlongs to go, Beau Brindle continues to make the running by two lanes.
04:46It's, uh, a gill had to go out to the quack.
04:48We were tied up and left here all night.
04:50Went straight to his ulcer.
04:52As soon as they haven't been safe.
04:55Who filled it in the first?
04:58Me, you, all of us.
05:01And because of gill, I lost a tasty little car game.
05:06Two and a half furlongs to go.
05:08What the hell's going on here?
05:11Meeting of the down and out society?
05:12With a furlong and a half to go, nothing much to choose between them.
05:16Beau Brindle, Juniper Fair, Stony Geek continues to challenge.
05:19Who else, man?
05:21Don't worry.
05:23He'll catch those villains.
05:24Yeah, but I won't get more money back.
05:26That hurts worse than the ulcer, doesn't it?
05:28You'll never give back to me, a brother.
05:31At the line, Beau Brindle is the winner.
05:33Second is number 21, Stony Geek.
05:36First, number nine, Beau Brindle.
05:38It's nice to know you're friends.
05:39Number 21, Stony Geek.
05:40I haven't realised.
05:4211 to 2, the winner.
05:44I thought you were halfway to Bondi Beach.
05:46The plane's all booked up.
05:48Oh, tough.
05:50There's a Cheltenham sale on Wednesday.
05:52I know there's the Cheltenham sale on Wednesday.
05:54I told you there was a Cheltenham sale on Wednesday.
05:56Well, I'm still here.
05:59Find yourself a chair.
06:02Oh, I got a phone call from Jake Turnbull.
06:05From Jake?
06:06What did he want?
06:08There's a set of pewter flagons in the sale.
06:1017th century English.
06:11Oh, yes, I had heard a whisper.
06:13But the Bureau's the most important thing.
06:15And you've got Friday off.
06:17I won't be here.
06:18Oh, thank you.
06:19I'm going to see my partner in Paris, Jean-Luc.
06:21You ought to meet him.
06:23Anyhow, Wednesday.
06:24You've got to get the train down.
06:27Unless you want to go down the day before with me.
06:30No.
06:31I'd rather go Wednesday.
06:32But if...
06:34No, no, please yourself.
06:36But early, mine.
06:38Yeah.
06:39So I'll see you Wednesday?
06:41Right.
06:46You haven't even seen her in the daylight.
06:48I have.
06:49You're not going all the way, are you?
06:50Wedding bells, ding-dongs.
06:52Well, Christopher, leave it out.
06:54Anyway, I couldn't afford it.
06:55Well, she's got a job, hasn't she?
06:56Oh, yeah, she's got a job, all right.
06:58Diane paid her for two weeks, has he?
07:00Look, I mean, I'm basking.
07:03John!
07:04Hello, Mr Box.
07:07Men did any good tellies lately?
07:16What's a busy girl like you doing in a place like this?
07:18Oh, we go wherever the job takes us.
07:20So you didn't come here just to enjoy yourself?
07:23What are you drinking?
07:24No, not for me, please.
07:26It's not my round, anyway.
07:27Which is lucky, because I'm skimmed, and the artwork looks pretty similar.
07:30So there's not a lot I can do for you.
07:32You're not doing it for me, Mr Box.
07:34Robbie, just keep it for me.
07:35John!
07:36The law says you've got to pay.
07:39How does the law know about me?
07:40Well, you're not invisible, Mr Box.
07:43Robbie.
07:44Sorry.
07:45You're wasting your time.
07:46I've got no money, no income, no property.
07:48They all said that.
07:49I can prove it to you.
07:50John!
07:52Fine.
07:53How about 9.30 tomorrow morning?
07:56Look, you tell the inspector about all the money you haven't got,
07:58and all the property you don't own.
08:00Who buys your clothes, your food, and he'll take it from there.
08:04It's just winnings, it's cards, horses, sometimes cogs.
08:07Come on, we both know that.
08:08It's the oldest offence in the world.
08:11It would have done make it a lie, does it?
08:13John, come on.
08:14It's advice.
08:19How do people like you get to know about people, don't they?
08:21I mean, who put some word out?
08:23No one.
08:24You'll rumble the day you're born.
08:31I can't make tomorrow.
08:33You haven't got many tomorrows left, Mr. Box.
08:37You'll know.
08:51The Inland Revenue will make an application to the courts.
08:54If you don't turn up, well, in the end they go and fetch you.
08:58And arguing your case in front of a judge is a lot harder than talking to us.
09:01Look, I just want to be left alone.
09:04Well, then you're going the wrong way about it.
09:07You won't be left alone.
09:10The harder you run away, the harder we run after you.
09:16And you'll get tired before we do.
09:22Your change, Mr. Box.
09:36You all right?
09:38That's all I needed.
09:43Go and see them.
09:44Sort it out.
09:46Not yet, no.
09:48I don't know how you sleep a month.
09:50If I had them gorillas after me, I'd go potty.
09:54Anyway, they can't take what you ain't got, can they?
09:57Look, I've got about, what, three quid in the world.
09:59Three quid?
10:00If they get their hooks into me like this, I'm finished.
10:02I've got to get something together, then I can give them a bit, keep a bit, keep them quiet.
10:06But I can't go around there with about three quid, no way.
10:08Well, how are you going to get something together?
10:10Well, not by sitting here talking about it.
10:12Well, where are you going then?
10:13I don't know.
10:14I'll see you.
10:16Here, Ron.
10:21But if he's an old friend, why all the fasts?
10:24With Frenchmen, it's all about how you look.
10:25Look, if I turn up wearing this, he'd think I've done it on purpose.
10:30Well, it's not a party.
10:32It's only a business meeting.
10:33Only?
10:37Right, then, which colour are you looking for?
10:39Not grey.
10:41Oh, here's a nice blue one.
10:42Very fetching.
10:44He's got a suit.
10:45I've seen it.
10:45What's he going to do with Jane?
10:47Well, Grover's only got to click his fingers, hasn't he?
10:52Oh.
10:55Does she, um, does she talk about him?
11:00Well, I need to do with work.
11:03Anyway, she wouldn't tell me, would she?
11:06Why not?
11:07Well, she probably reckons I'd tell you, don't she?
11:10In fact, she thinks I'll take your side in everything.
11:13Yeah.
11:18Sorry.
11:21Sorry.
11:34Look like a postman.
11:36500 quid, this costs.
11:38You could get one that fitted for that price.
11:40Yeah, let's have a look at that other one.
11:44Thanks.
11:46Of course, Grover's doing you a good turn, really.
11:49Doing me a good turn?
11:50Well, yeah.
11:51I mean, if it weren't for him, Mum wouldn't still be here, would she?
11:54No, it's not that.
11:55It's the fare.
11:55It takes a lot of getting that sort of money.
11:57You are joking.
11:59I'm not joking.
11:59I know, don't I?
12:01Jake Turnbull's already paid that.
12:03What?
12:04Well, he's paid Mum's fare back to Ozzy, hasn't he?
12:07And most of her hotel bills.
12:09So you're saying if Jake Turnbull says get on the next plane, then she gets on the next plane?
12:14Well, yeah.
12:15Sorry.
12:17So it is all down the road, isn't it?
12:19Well.
12:20Well, what?
12:21It's a little bit more trickier than that, isn't it?
12:24How?
12:28Sometimes, Rob, you are so thick.
12:31For someone that's supposed to live on his wits, you're pathetic.
12:33I don't know what you're talking about.
12:35Look.
12:38If it wasn't for you, Mum wouldn't have come back in the first place, right?
12:42You know that much.
12:43So, one call from Sydney, and she's back.
12:46We'll never see her again.
12:48Even if she hasn't sold the flat.
12:50You're long odds, Rob.
12:52Like those horses you back.
12:54Full of promises.
12:56Look, I reckon if you want a result, you've got hours, not days.
13:01How much money have you got?
13:02Me?
13:03I've got about three quid on me, honey.
13:06I can manage a tenner.
13:08What?
13:09Look, get yourself a nice big old meal.
13:12You can't think if you don't eat, Rob, can you?
13:14I can't take money off you.
13:20You'll get it back.
13:21You've subbed me enough.
13:23Anyway, it weren't mine to start with.
13:25Jake Turnbull giving it to me.
13:26Pocket Man, he won't miss it.
13:28College Man, he won't miss it.
13:31Thank you, brother.
13:59How's the job going then?
14:02I chucked it.
14:03Aye?
14:05Ordered two halves of lager and the landlord knocked them off like wages.
14:07Go on.
14:09It's true.
14:11Got us over another job, though.
14:12Hey, Chris, give us a pint and whatever Liberace year wants.
14:15We're on white wine now.
14:17Oh, good boy.
14:18What's the new job, then?
14:19Yvonne School of Dancing.
14:20I play the piano from five till nine,
14:23which just happens to be the age of the clientele.
14:25Don't they come any older?
14:27Might get a rehearsal job, television.
14:29They don't want a musical poker player, do they?
14:32Are you still short?
14:34Short? I'm bloody invisible.
14:36Look, Robbie, if you want a bit of help,
14:38I haven't forgotten what you did for me.
14:39Arthur, leave it out, will you?
14:41No, no, no, I mean it.
14:42Slay it.
14:43You know what Di said.
14:45I'm paying.
14:46Slay it.
14:47Look, I'm an impoverished.
14:49We're Jenna.
14:49You're a self-employed pauper.
14:51Well, Tom.
14:57You need that, Tenno, anyway.
14:59I need 77 of them.
15:00Cheers.
15:03What for?
15:05Well, um, I popped Jan's necklace.
15:08It was a good cause,
15:09but, uh, I've got to unpop it again.
15:12Didn't she know?
15:15Not exactly, no.
15:17No.
15:22It's tricky.
15:24Did you like the suit?
15:25Oh, yes.
15:26I think your friends are going to be very impressed.
15:29Why don't you come over?
15:31You've had that little touchy class.
15:33Think about it.
15:35God, get a nice thought of that.
15:38You've got to have one knockout dress, darling.
15:40In this business, you don't know who you're going to meet.
15:43I'll buy it for you.
15:46Come on.
15:48Why'd you get really ill?
15:50I am ill.
15:51I'm still here.
15:53How long for?
15:56Come off it.
15:58No.
15:58I mean today, in the shop.
16:01Oh.
16:10I'll look.
16:10Take tomorrow morning off.
16:11I can open up.
16:13Everybody's trying to get rid of me.
16:16What's going on?
16:17Get outside, weaver long.
16:19Here.
16:19I'm not drinking that much.
16:22I'm calling you a cab.
16:28What about Paris, then?
16:30Don't they ever come to England?
16:32Oh, yeah.
16:33I'd rather meet them on my own territory first.
16:35But if you're still here, of course.
16:37Oh, of course.
16:56Oh, of course.
16:57There's a packet of money to be made in this business.
17:00But wherever money is concerned, in large lumps, there's wicked people about corruption.
17:05You know what I mean?
17:07When it comes to five-figure sums, I wouldn't trust my own mother.
17:14Unless you were taking a cut.
17:16So, I've been making a few notes.
17:19And I want you to take a look at them.
17:21Me?
17:22You.
17:28Does Jake know about this?
17:30It's got nothing to do with Jake.
17:32Are you serious?
17:33Anything to do with money is serious.
17:36Look at page two.
17:37Last paragraph.
17:38Laura, I've got a couple of vans.
17:41In a year, I'll have six.
17:43I'll have a container a month going across to New York.
17:45That's where the bread is.
17:47We can take them apart, you and me.
17:49All it needs is the will.
17:50You just said now you wouldn't trust your own mother.
17:52So why would you trust me?
17:54Well, unless she was taking a cut.
17:57Yeah, all right.
17:59You'll be on a very small salary, plus a percentage.
18:02How much?
18:04You tell me.
18:05I'm talking about commitment.
18:07If you're ready to chuck yourself into this, and I mean body and soul, you could be on 10%
18:11of the net.
18:12But I do mean commitment.
18:13Either you're in up to here, or you're out.
18:15Finish.
18:16But I don't know enough about the business.
18:17I mean, you know that.
18:19You'd be surprised how fast you can learn when there's a fat check at the end of it.
18:22And I'm the best teacher you could have.
18:26And I'm the best teacher you could have done it.
18:26So if it worked?
18:28We'd all be rich.
18:32Well, why haven't you done it before?
18:34Life's been nice and easy.
18:36Who needs ulcers?
18:37But then, something happens.
18:40All of a sudden, it's not our work anymore.
18:44Why don't you try your new dress on?
18:47You've seen it?
18:48Only in the shop.
18:50What for?
18:50You're not darting off, are you?
18:53You don't have to go back to that hotel tonight.
18:56On the strength of this?
18:58Partly, yeah.
19:02God, you're different, I'll give you that.
19:05I thought I'd heard all the come-ons, but...
19:09I've never known anybody put it in a business contract before.
19:12That's only part of it.
19:16You're the most straightforward villain I've ever met.
19:18I believe you.
19:20Well, I'm not staying.
19:22I'm going now.
19:24Does that change your business plans?
19:26Did being asked change yours?
19:31No.
19:32Same answer.
19:34I'll run you back.
19:35No, thank you.
19:35I'll get the tube, all right?
19:37As you like.
19:39I can't make up my mind whether my nut stain bothers you or not.
19:43You worry too much.
19:45Not good, though.
19:48Okay.
19:49Cheltenham sale Wednesday, then.
19:51See you then.
19:53Hey, don't forget your dress.
19:55This hasn't bought you anything, you know.
19:58Not anything.
19:59You must think I was born yesterday.
20:01You look bloody marvellous in that dress.
20:03That's why we bought it.
20:05I like birds that look good.
20:07For lots and lots of reasons.
20:13Cheltenham Wednesday.
20:25Grover?
20:28Jean-Luc, where are you?
20:31Yeah, of course I can.
20:34Tomorrow night.
20:36Right.
20:37I'll fix something up.
20:39For you, son, something special.
21:04For you, son, something special.
21:26You comfy, boy, or?
21:28All right if I kip here.
21:31I'll be gone first thing.
21:33You must think I'm mad.
21:34No, I don't think that, no.
21:37I've got 400 quid worth of fags and boos behind that bar.
21:40Up.
21:41Where am I going to dosh down this time of night, then?
21:43Try the M4.
21:44The fast lane.
21:46I had a nice little return, Mach-A-Rain, but you ducked out.
21:49Well, don't worry.
21:50There's going to be another tomorrow night.
21:51You are cordially invited.
21:53What am I going to use for sit-down?
21:55I couldn't buy my way into a game of Lula.
21:58Well, find it, Robbie Bach, because I'm getting impatient.
22:01I want my money back and some of yours.
22:05Sleep tight to Robbie Bach.
22:10Weren't you going out this morning?
22:13Going round Moors later.
22:15What happened?
22:18Did Grover make a proposition?
22:22What about business?
22:24Well, the two were sort of mixed up, really.
22:27It's got this scheme worked out.
22:28It could be very good.
22:30I'd have a proper job.
22:32Mind you, it would mean dropping the turnbulls.
22:34That would be finished.
22:35But this scheme would be better.
22:37Tell me all about it, then.
22:39I might learn something.
22:42It's a bit out of the ordinary, Grover.
22:46Bought me this new dress.
22:48Oh, yeah.
22:49Bond Street.
22:51Don't know what he paid for it.
22:54Well, let's see it, then.
22:58Oh, I see.
23:04Guess he did want me to stay the night.
23:06But it wasn't a condition.
23:08He thought it would be a friendly thing to do.
23:10Two people setting up business,
23:12getting to know each other better.
23:14Some people are like that.
23:16Or maybe he's madly in love with me.
23:18I don't know.
23:19I said no thanks, and that was that.
23:22Do you fancy him?
23:24Oh, he's all right.
23:26He's clever.
23:27Knows what he wants.
23:29And end up rich.
23:31Yeah.
23:32But do you fancy him?
23:35Well, he's not like Robbie.
23:36But that cuts both ways.
23:38But there is only one Robbie.
23:39That's all there needs to be.
23:40Robbie's got the message, you know.
23:42He's changed.
23:43He may be down and out now,
23:44but he's on his way back up.
23:47Debs.
23:48Doesn't even know where he's going.
23:49Doesn't even know there's anywhere to go to.
23:52I grant you he's got a lot of brains,
23:53but he doesn't even know what year it is.
23:57I know Grover's not a patch on Robbie,
23:59but he knows where he's going,
24:00and he'd take me with him.
24:02Well, so would the Turnbulls.
24:04So would a lot of other people.
24:06But would it be worth it when you got there?
24:08Well, that's up to me, isn't it,
24:09to make it worth it.
24:11So why didn't you spend the night at Grover's?
24:14I don't know.
24:17I don't know.
24:18I don't know, do I?
24:34He's not in.
24:35Gotcha.
24:36The peddler, 12 to 1.
24:38Went like a rocket.
24:39That's a real animal.
24:40Nice one, very.
24:41My compliments to the management,
24:43and Gill owes me £18 for EP.
24:45You'll have to wait.
24:46Let's have you.
24:47Hey.
24:48Gill's not in.
24:49It's only in the bloody day, did you?
24:51I want my winnings.
24:52You just have to wait.
24:53How long?
24:54I don't know.
24:55I thought this was supposed to be a bookmaker's.
24:57Blimey, leave a woman in charge.
24:59Aye.
25:01I beg your pardon.
25:02If Gill was here, he'd pay out.
25:04What was that remark about winning?
25:07Give him a bit of authority and see what happens.
25:09Would you kindly remove that dog from these premises?
25:13I know Gill's as tight as an owl's ear roll,
25:14but at least he knows where the money's kept.
25:16I said, out.
25:20Eh?
25:21That!
25:22Come on, Joanie, love.
25:23He was only pulling your leg.
25:25I've told him before.
25:26That dog's Elphazard.
25:28I want it out now.
25:29And I want my £18.40p.
25:32You can stay.
25:33It can't.
25:35When's Gill back?
25:36Later.
25:37Right.
25:38Come on, you.
25:39Come on.
25:40Oh, come on, Joanie.
25:41Call them Buckman.
25:44One out.
25:45One out.
25:46All out.
25:53Solidarity.
25:57Get yourself a shave before tonight, won't you, boy?
25:59Oh.
26:00If I catch you on the other side of a card table, you'll have better things to worry about.
26:05You coming up?
26:06What's this thing?
26:07Oh, it's a big game.
26:08You see Robbie's going to take me apart or something.
26:10All I need is a lot of money.
26:11It's a pity about that, isn't it?
26:12Not just the money.
26:13I mean, it's gutsy what you're all short of, isn't it?
26:15I've been psyched by sharper geezers than you, Di.
26:17Don't you worry about that.
26:23It's all lip, isn't it?
26:24He knows you're skimmed.
26:25Yeah, I thought I'd find you at lunch.
26:27Hello, Arthur.
26:28I've got a present for you.
26:29It's been hanging around and I didn't want it.
26:30Just thought it might be useful.
26:31Come on, it's all right.
26:32It went by.
26:32What is it?
26:33Why is it?
26:33Just a big one.
26:36It's got to be something horrible, innit?
26:37Yeah, it's one of those spies with big hairy legs.
26:39Head out.
26:40I'm sure we're wet, aren't we?
26:41Is it?
26:42Head out.
26:43Hang on.
26:48Bloody hell.
26:50Where'd he get that look from?
26:52Have you been talking?
26:54Well, yeah, but I didn't mean...
26:57He had with his stash to make his room on and I can't believe it.
27:00Here, hang on.
27:0177 tenors, as required.
27:04Repayable in the fullness of time.
27:07As required?
27:09Must have walked a bank or something.
27:12Your ship come in by all?
27:14I wish it had this isn't mine.
27:17Well, it makes no difference anyhow.
27:18I mean, money was never your difficulty, was it?
27:22Now, look.
27:24Don't go and blow it.
27:26Di can wait.
27:28Oh, about Arthur.
27:29Yeah, he can wait on a wall.
27:32Yeah.
27:34Sammy's?
27:36Where else, son?
27:39I'll see you.
27:40Okay.
27:49We could be here, old dear.
27:51Not if I know, Gil.
27:54Here.
27:54Hang on.
28:02What are you lot doing out here?
28:04Nowhere else to go.
28:11You'll give the place a bad rain.
28:21Right.
28:23Someone better tell me what the hell's going on here.
28:25Yeah.
28:26That dog's going out that door.
28:29Why?
28:30Has he done something horrible?
28:31Certainly not.
28:32And I want an apology from him.
28:34Well, she ain't gonna get one.
28:38Oh, dear, oh, dear.
28:40Hang on.
28:43Darren, we're in the back office.
28:46Come on.
28:57Oh, come on.
28:58We've all been insulted by Ferret.
29:01It's like finding an insect in your Guinness.
29:05You've got to take it in your stride.
29:08That dog smells.
29:10Not just the dog, Joan.
29:13Come on.
29:14Where's your sense of humour?
29:20Oh, right.
29:21One more chance.
29:22That's all he gets.
29:23That's very generous of you, Joan.
29:25Very generous indeed.
29:27Oh, by the way, you owe him 18 pound 40.
29:31Eh?
29:31He had a dog come up.
29:34He's like an octopus.
29:37What about the king's head, then?
29:38He pays rubbish.
29:40No, I'll stay here for another couple of weeks.
29:43If I leave now, I'll never get what he owes me.
29:46Two scotchies and big ups.
29:59Three ten, please.
30:02No.
30:02They're taken care of.
30:04Eh?
30:05Friends in the management.
30:13Right, couple of social workers.
30:18You can't keep away from me, can you?
30:20Hi, Chris.
30:21Point.
30:21No, thanks, sir.
30:22How was Sammy?
30:24I know.
30:24He had to go up to Manchester.
30:25His old mum's not too well.
30:26Maybe one there.
30:27The place was shut.
30:28The geese next door told me about it.
30:29When's he back?
30:30I don't know.
30:31He's a bit worried about it.
30:32Can I have an orange juice, please?
30:33It's all.
30:34Don't pour that.
30:35He'll have a beer.
30:36No.
30:37You haven't come in here with any funny ideas, have you, Rob?
30:41No, not all that funny.
30:43Not the game.
30:44Yeah, me and you.
30:46You're out of your mind.
30:47Not all the two of us.
30:48Yeah, because I've got the money.
30:49Don't be stupid.
30:50I know Di Phillips.
30:52He plays with three packs.
30:53He makes the spots change in front of your eyes.
30:55There's two punters just gone in there that make Paul Downings look like sooty.
30:59But I'm going to play it my way, not his.
31:01I'm not listening, Rob.
31:02Only if you come in here with me.
31:04Hey, do you two know where I forgot that money?
31:09He sold his piano.
31:25You didn't have to come over to London just to get yourself a piece of the action.
31:28I hadn't forgotten you.
31:30Good.
31:32And does the girl have to eat with us?
31:35Why not?
31:35I want to talk business.
31:42Grover?
31:45God, don't you lot ever go to bed?
31:49Jake is.
31:50When?
31:52Oh, sorry.
31:52I won't be here.
31:53I'm going out in ten minutes.
31:56Well, what's all the panic?
31:59All right.
32:03Turnbull secretary.
32:05He's ringing in an hour.
32:06So he's getting suspicious?
32:09No, Jan's here.
32:15Come on up.
32:17Right.
32:19She's going to be working for us, but nothing's been settled yet.
32:26Come on in, darling.
32:28Jan?
32:28I want you to meet Jean-Luc.
32:30Jean-Luc?
32:31Jan.
32:31Hello.
32:32Hello, Jan.
32:34Listen, love.
32:35Slight change of plan.
32:36Jake.
32:37Some bloody crisis.
32:39Look, why don't you and Jean-Luc get a cab down to the restaurant?
32:42I'll join you as soon as I can.
32:44Okay.
32:46You've scared him off.
32:48What do you think, sir?
32:49Yeah, I do.
32:55Oh.
32:57Come on in, lads.
32:59Oh, this is Lenny, you know, and this is Joey.
33:03Yeah.
33:05Hello, Joey.
33:06This is Duke Meyer.
33:08All right?
33:10That's all done.
33:12Let's play cards, eh?
33:19Cut for chairs.
33:21Eh?
33:23Got any objections?
33:25Oh.
33:26Good.
33:26Good.
33:27All right.
33:29Got it ourselves.
33:36Well, it's me here.
33:37This, uh, Joe there, uh, you're dying over there.
33:40Dick, you're over there.
33:41And Lenny, you'll run, eh?
33:52Right, let's have a fresh dick, then.
33:55It is a fresh dick.
33:56No, I mean, uh, untouched by a human hand.
34:01But I opened it only half an hour ago.
34:02Proper game, proper rules.
34:04I'd like to see the wrapper come up.
34:06But I haven't got it in an open pack.
34:09Oh.
34:11No bother.
34:12Pass it around, will you?
34:20Good.
34:22Your privilege.
34:23Your privilege.
34:34So, how long have you known Grover?
34:37Just a few weeks.
34:38Yes, of all.
34:39In the end, he'll be a millionaire.
34:41You know that?
34:42Oh.
34:43He treats his friends properly.
34:44That's the secret.
34:46Good relationships.
34:48Good relationships.
34:49Good relationships.
34:56Ace.
34:59Ace.
35:01Ten.
35:03Eight.
35:04Oh.
35:06Miss Steele.
35:09How many cards you got there, Javi?
35:11Five.
35:11What's it do like?
35:12Ah, it looks like five.
35:14I was just wondering.
35:15Are you playing or not?
35:17Do you want to count them?
35:19What are you trying to say, boy?
35:20I'm trying to say that Joey has got six cards.
35:23I mean, it's a simple mistake.
35:24Could happen to anyone.
35:25Done it myself.
35:30Oh, look.
35:31There.
35:33It's funny, you know.
35:34It happened once in a big game that we were playing with Frank Ordino.
35:39You know Frank, do you?
35:42I've heard of him.
35:43Don't want to believe what you hear.
35:44If he likes you, you're all right.
35:47Re-deal, then.
35:49I got 30 in there.
35:52Yeah, I know.
35:53Good hand as well.
35:53It's tough.
35:54But the money stays in the middle and we have a re-deal.
35:56No, I was saying, Di.
35:58Frank, he said that anyone plays card tricks with me while I'm playing,
36:02he's going to chop their hands off.
36:05At the waist.
36:07He's funny, old Frank, isn't he?
36:20You know this restaurant?
36:22No, no, I don't.
36:24So, why don't we eat at my hotel?
36:27What's wrong with the restaurant?
36:29Besides, we never wonder where we are.
36:31He may not have planned to join us.
36:33Sorry, you may not what?
36:35Discretion.
36:35You know, three's a crowd.
36:38I like crowds.
36:40I would be very flattered if you came to my hotel.
36:43Did Grover say he wasn't going to be joining me?
36:46Please listen.
36:47I'm about to put money and contacts at Grover's disposal.
36:52His contribution to the deal is knowledge and experience and flair.
36:57What is your contribution, John?
36:59I don't know.
37:01Going to bed with you, is that what you think?
37:03Is that what Grover thinks?
37:05I'm sorry, you've got the wrong end of the stick.
37:08I'm not available to be handled round.
37:11I thought Grover was straight.
37:13I thought he was being generous.
37:15I've obviously made a bad mistake.
37:18And so has he.
37:19Will you please tell him I said that?
37:37Pass.
37:39I'm out.
37:4430.
37:45Right, three runners.
37:48Nine.
37:50Eight.
37:52Six.
37:54Still two tens to bet.
38:0150.
38:06Yeah.
38:1350.
38:15Right.
38:16Last cards, gentlemen.
38:18Five.
38:22Eight.
38:25Six.
38:29Three nice, sporty hands.
38:31Who's a bet?
38:32Probably three sixes.
38:34Oh, yeah.
38:36Well?
38:43I'll just go, Tim.
38:55It's the bloody squeeze, innit?
38:58What is going on?
39:00Sure shot, Jolly.
39:03Well, no objection to Marcus.
39:07Why, baby?
39:09Not Marcus.
39:10You bastard.
