00:03The bet's twenty-five.
00:10Call it.
00:20Top run.
00:25You bastard.
00:27How do you feel?
00:29You don't.
00:35Oi, you coming to what?
00:39I'll be seeing you, pal.
00:48Is there another way out this building, Brian?
00:51Forrest gave fruit out.
00:54Nah, they wouldn't.
01:11What do you think?
01:13I think it's great.
01:18Can we really afford it?
01:21Well, it depends on that big, doesn't it?
01:30Thanks for the game, Brian.
01:31Thanks for coming, Rob.
01:33Oh, listen.
01:34Summer long.
01:353.15 at Adolf.
01:36Going out about eight something.
01:38All right?
01:39It's good here, isn't it?
01:46It's all right, Rob.
01:48I'll shove it.
02:09It's all right, Rob.
02:36It's all for the game, lads.
02:39I'll see you.
02:53I'll have to go soon, Mum.
02:56I'll brain him if he doesn't turn up.
03:09I'll have to go soon, Mum.
03:23And what am I supposed to do with these?
03:26Stick them up against the wall there.
03:32Right.
03:33Now you've done that, in the office, there's buckets full of Geordie's nails and stuff.
03:38Can you get them for us?
03:40Come on.
03:48Bye, love.
03:57He's arrived.
04:06Madness.
04:07Bloody madness.
04:09Morning, all.
04:11God, what's all this?
04:12Don't look at me, Deb.
04:13I haven't got a clue.
04:15Stick those over there.
04:17Debs, does it look as though the builder's ring?
04:19Eh?
04:21Oh, yeah.
04:22Yeah, I suppose so.
04:23Great.
04:24Now, listen.
04:24Don't hang about.
04:25Give her around with some more gear, right?
04:26Oi!
04:27Her has got a name, if you don't mind.
04:30I don't know what's up with her of late.
04:32This place.
04:32More like Three Ring Circus.
04:34Yeah.
04:34And Robbie's the ringmaster.
04:39You really like this one, don't you?
04:41It don't seem fair, you know.
04:43You putting down 15 grand and me only five.
04:45Well, we can stop it here and now if you like.
04:47I could rent somewhere.
04:48Eh?
04:48Do like I said.
04:49Use my flat sale money to clear your tax.
04:52No, no, no.
04:52This comes first, don't it?
04:53I'm in our house.
04:54Look, I reckon we'd put down about 20 grand, right?
04:57Yeah.
04:58And just about manage the mortgage repayments.
05:00Think of it as an investment.
05:02Yeah, but it still seems unfair.
05:03Once I can get the club off his...
05:05Oh, I can't wait that long, Rob.
05:06I'm fed up of living like a gypsy.
05:09Besides, it's not fair to Debs.
05:11We've only got a couple of weeks left before we're going to move out to Tommy's place.
05:15Oi.
05:17What?
05:18Have you got a pen?
05:21Do you mean it?
05:24Oh, Robbie!
05:25Yippee!
05:26Look on it as an investment, eh?
05:28Yippee!
05:28Yippee!
05:31Go on, Debs.
05:32My arm's aching now.
05:34Stop my arm.
05:34Good here, isn't he?
05:36Go in there.
05:39Morning.
05:40Got the builders in, I see.
05:43Yeah, yeah.
05:45All over the gaff.
05:47Is, erm...
05:48Robbie in?
05:49No, Mr. Cymbals.
05:50Not yet.
05:51He promised me he'd be here.
05:53On time.
05:55Yes.
05:56And you wasn't the only one.
05:58Anything I can help you with, Mr. Cymbals?
06:00Oh, er, no, but...
06:01When he does arrive, will you tell him I'll call back within the hour?
06:04Sure.
06:05Be certain to tell him, please. It's urgent.
06:08Mind you, Ed.
06:11Within the hour?
06:12Yeah, right.
06:15That's provided we're still open in an hour.
06:18What do you mean?
06:19Passengers are requested to present themselves with their passports in the main lounge.
06:26Coaches to London will depart outside the railway station.
06:31No visitors are allowed in the shed.
06:34Plus the two cases, Pete.
06:36Yeah, that's all, thanks.
06:37Hey, how's it been this trip?
06:40An earner?
06:41No, not too shabby.
06:43As a matter of fact, my son.
06:47Not too shabby at all.
06:49Good.
06:50What about the South African bloke?
06:52How'd you fare with him?
06:54Yeah, we've got a dent in his expenses.
06:56And by the way, young.
06:59A little present for you.
07:00Cheers.
07:02Pity about Hal Brookman.
07:04He was down on the passenger list aboard at New York.
07:06Yeah, I was gutted when he didn't show.
07:08Oh, I had another crack at that man.
07:10One big shot of Mr Poker himself.
07:12Never mind, eh? Maybe next time?
07:14No, it won't be next time, Simon.
07:16This is my last trip.
07:17Pity.
07:18Well, you are, son, but I'm getting out while I'm in front.
07:24Fine.
07:25Thanks very much.
07:27Good news, Mrs Oliver.
07:28Your offer has been accepted.
07:30Wonderful.
07:32How soon can I get things moving?
07:33Mr Parry won't be back into a lunchtime, I'm afraid.
07:36But as soon as he comes in...
07:37What about the building society officers?
07:39Aren't they local?
07:40Well, yes.
07:41Good.
07:41It'll be quicker by hand.
07:43What about your solicitors, Mrs Olive?
07:45I'll call in them first and get them to contact you, okay?
07:47Fine.
07:49My, but you are in a hurry, aren't you?
07:51Yes.
07:52Bye.
07:54You can't cut us off.
07:56Not just like that.
07:57Listen, mate, if you'd paid the bill,
07:59I wouldn't have to cut you off, would I?
08:04Look, tell you what, you go off, do a few more calls,
08:07and by the time you get back, I promise you,
08:09the bill will be paid.
08:10I'm sorry, Chief.
08:12I can't do that.
08:13You're the only call I've got this morning.
08:16Morning, all.
08:18Oh, good.
08:19Good, good, good.
08:19Oh, Geordie's here.
08:20That's terrific.
08:21Great, great.
08:21Rob, hang on here, Chief.
08:23I'll sort it.
08:23Rob, Rob.
08:25What's your problem?
08:26That little bloke over there.
08:27He's come to cut us off.
08:29Cut what off?
08:30The electric.
08:31Oh.
08:32Well, give him a kite.
08:33Give him a kite.
08:34It'll bounce.
08:37I shan't be long.
08:52Listen, Rob, the bank won't let the overdraft go up any higher.
08:55Look, I stole him.
08:56You get one of the girls to pay the bill straight away, all right?
08:59What are we?
08:59Shirt buttons.
09:03Look.
09:06325 notes.
09:09Easy come, easy go.
09:12What are you saying?
09:13Easy come.
09:14I'll bring you the change.
09:15Two of them.
09:23Oh, I'll bring you the lockers.
09:24Step, go straight down the electrics.
09:26Go straight down the electrics.
09:26Take this and pay that bill.
09:27I think it'll go straight back in your office.
09:30It'll be a cock-ups.
09:30Impossible, Chief.
09:31We do not make cock-ups.
09:32Well, the thing is-
09:33See ya!
09:33The bill was paid late yesterday afternoon.
09:36I did it myself.
09:38Got your receipt, then?
09:40Yeah, it's in the office.
09:43Actually, no, funny thing is-
09:44While you're here, while I'm looking for that receipt,
09:46would you mind having a look at a plug point out of the back?
09:48Are you joking or what?
09:51Dick. Dick. Come here, somebody.
09:53Listen, would you mind taking the expert through to the kitchen
09:56and showing him the plug?
09:58Oh, the plug. Right, yeah.
09:59And give him a drink. You'd like a drink, would you?
10:01And I'll go and have a look for a receipt. All right?
10:03Great. All right, this way.
10:05What do you like? All right? Yeah.
10:06So, tell Robbie about you know what.
10:09This way, mate. Through it.
10:12What's the problem?
10:12The inspector is coming today and Geordie hasn't shown up.
10:16Oh, turn it in, will you?
10:18Rob, if you don't come up with some builders pretty damn quick, we...
10:20Builders? Builders?
10:23Go away, will you?
10:25Right, give us a minute.
10:26And Rob, Mr. Cymbals, it's...
10:28All right.
10:33Race one.
10:34Just the blokes I wanted to see.
10:37Listen, listen, listen.
10:39I've got a little job for you.
10:41What? A job?
10:42You know, it's only just make out that you're builders, you see.
10:45Oh, my old back ain't hocking me some jit, mate.
10:47Yeah, and I've got to take Mrs. McGregor down to the vet.
10:50Been proper poorly, yes.
10:51Turn it in, will you?
10:53Bart to help me, mate. Sorry.
10:54Yeah, come on, Mrs. Mack.
10:55Let's go and see the vet.
10:57Thanks very much, lads.
10:58I'll remember this.
10:59What's wrong with you?
11:01You bonnet plague?
11:02I've got me migraine, Rob.
11:05Oh, terrific.
11:06Terrific.
11:20Hello, Rob.
11:21Hi, Tom.
11:30How's it going, son?
11:31All right, all right.
11:35Tom.
11:37Just the bloke I'm looking for.
11:39See?
11:40Mm.
11:41Oh, come on, come on, come on.
11:43Hey, look, no, don't muck about.
11:57Sam, Robby.
11:59Oh, sorry I wasn't here, Mr. Cymbals.
12:00Yes.
12:01So was I.
12:03Right.
12:04Now that you are, let's get down to business.
12:08Do the other one like that, all right?
12:13But, Rob...
12:14Tomorrow morning, 10 o'clock sharp, all right?
12:18Yes, I know, Mr. Cymbals, I'll be there.
12:21That's what you said last time, Robby.
12:24Yes, I know, but, uh, things will be different this time.
12:28Indeed, they will.
12:30This time, if you don't make the appointment,
12:32there's nothing more that I or anyone else can do for you.
12:35What do you mean, this is it, the end of the line?
12:38No more excuses will be entertained.
12:40You're very fortunate to get another appeal.
12:42You realize that, I hope?
12:44Well, you've got to be a result, I know that, yeah?
12:47If we win tomorrow, the £20,000 assessment could be reduced by several thousand pounds.
12:54Reduced?
12:55Yes.
12:57You are now a man with assets.
13:00Therefore, we can offer the Inland Revenue, a package deal incorporating income tax to outstanding, along with that of the
13:08future.
13:09What?
13:12Have you ever considered selling up?
13:14Selling up?
13:14I've sung thousands into this place, but I'm still shelling it out.
13:17Oh, Chris, there he is.
13:18The building inspector and the other geezer.
13:20What?
13:21It's all right, Dick's taking care of it.
13:24Oh, right, okay.
13:25Well, I'll go and tell him.
13:26Oh, yeah, well, he had you up, they would.
13:28I couldn't let him do that.
13:29Rob, there he is.
13:31Oh, child.
13:32It's okay, Dick's with them.
13:36They're going to have to accept the deal, Mr. Silverwood, because I'm plotless.
13:39I'm fighting like mad to keep this place open.
13:41We're talking about money, money, money, money.
13:45We're talking about money, money, money.
13:48We're talking about money, money.
13:50We're talking about money, money.
13:51We're talking about money, money.
13:51What's the damage, chick?
13:53Yes, sir, did you say it?
13:54Thank you very much.
13:56Thank you very much.
14:05I didn't know what to be doing this sort of work, really, though.
14:09Yes, I can see that.
14:10Yes, everything all right, Vince?
14:12You know, this is just not good enough.
14:14What's the problem?
14:14The work's being done.
14:16Mr. Mayor, you must take me for some kind of fool.
14:19Yeah, hold on to that for a minute, will you?
14:20Yeah, okay.
14:24Can I get you a chance to drink?
14:26It's called what?
14:27Oliver's.
14:28Word has it that Welshman put the club up to cover up their inner poker school.
14:32Go.
14:33Shit.
14:34So who's in the world, if you know?
14:36A face named Robbie Box.
14:38Box.
14:42Robbie Box.
14:45You'll find this necessary...
14:46Bad news.
14:53Oh.
14:54Problems?
14:55Just a bit.
14:57The fire officer's given us 24 hours notice to close down.
15:01Oh, dear.
15:02What are we going to do about it?
15:05Latest betting in the 145...
15:06I'm only paying for the teabags, mind.
15:08...favorite, Relco Ruler...
15:10Oops.
15:12I'm sorry, why have I been up for you?
15:13Oh, it's not very much.
15:15It's my pleasure.
15:16Oh, mate.
15:19Which place?
15:30Armory?
15:31Good afternoon.
15:34You placing a bet?
15:36Actually, I'm here to surprise a friend of a friend.
15:38Nice point.
15:57I'm a gambler and I'm organizing a big spiel soon.
15:59I wonder if this Robbie Box character was the right sort of face I could invite in.
16:03Don't know you needed references now, don't you?
16:06Yeah, all times change.
16:07Unlike some places, haven't you got a telly in here for your customers?
16:12Gil's betting shop is a personal service.
16:14If I put television in here, they'll all think they're at the pictures.
16:17You did say you were placing a bet, didn't you?
16:19Yeah, of course not then.
16:22I thought you did.
16:23Well, it's no skin off my nose anyway.
16:27You see the lot with the cherry hog, don't you?
16:31Yeah.
16:32A couple of brown hours, I'll tell you all you want to know about Robbie Box.
16:34Really?
16:35Yeah.
16:361.45 at your focal point.
16:385 to 4, Pedro.
16:40Velcro ruler, 4 to 1.
16:42Lower, 5 to 1.
16:44Peric, 8 to 1.
16:4510 to 1 bar.
16:47Well, Robbo, I told you not to mess with my belt.
16:49It would have been all right if you'd been there like you promised.
16:52Robbo, I did not promise to be there.
16:53I said I would try.
16:54They're talking about shutting me down, mate.
16:56All right, all right.
16:57I need half a dozen fire check doors with closures, hinges and brackets.
17:01I shall need some foil-backed 8x4 plasterboards.
17:04I need some squares of white.
17:05All right, all right, all right.
17:06Shut up!
17:07How much?
17:08Well, you get pennies change out of 500 noughts.
17:12That much?
17:13Aye, that much.
17:14And another thing.
17:16What?
17:16You still owe me 400 for the last lot.
17:18Do you know I haven't had a decent wage in three weeks?
17:20Listen.
17:21If I can raise the materials money by tomorrow morning,
17:24will you make a start, you bunched?
17:26Oh, Robbo, you just never know when to give up, do you?
17:32All right.
17:34900 noughts by tomorrow and not a day later.
17:46Spent hundreds on that club he has.
17:48All his winnings.
17:49Oakland dogs, horses the lot.
17:51Hundreds.
17:52Thousands more like.
17:53Just leave it down here, darling.
17:55Thanks.
17:56Yeah, it's where he went wrong, if you ask me.
17:57See, a club like that could be a great little earner, if you know what you're doing.
18:01I mean, don't get me wrong, Rob's a great geezer.
18:04But he ain't got no idea.
18:06Now, well, you've got to be on the board when you're running a drinker, fellas, ain't ya?
18:09Anyway, cheers.
18:11Done yet.
18:11Mmm.
18:13Still, I suppose you've got a nice few bob tucked away for a rainy day,
18:16bearing in mind he's a gambling man and all that, eh?
18:18You must be joking.
18:19No, he's still got the tax people after him.
18:21Really?
18:22Yeah, he owes him a fork.
18:23Ow!
18:24That hurt that, eh?
18:25Oh, sorry my foot slipped.
18:27Anything else you want to know about Rob?
18:29What's that him?
18:30Red lads?
18:33Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:35Yeah, well, I'll do that, fellas.
18:38Oh, that is good news, Jan.
18:40Are you sure you'll be able to get in before the Lisa-Tommy strap runs out?
18:43No, I shouldn't think so.
18:45If he comes to the push, we'll have to have bread and breakfast for a few days.
18:48Oh, there's a million things to do.
18:50Of course, Rob is never there when it's needed.
18:53Don't worry about the work, love.
18:55Tommy and I'll chip in.
18:56He's a dab-an with the paintbrush, you know.
19:00What about the furniture?
19:01Why, I don't care if we have to sleep on the floor or sit on orange boxes,
19:05just as long as we're all together in a home of our own.
19:08It's taken long enough, hasn't it?
19:10Oh.
19:12He's a lucky one, is that son of mine.
19:17You know he'll never change, don't you, Jan?
19:20He'll always be a gambler at heart.
19:23Yes, I know.
19:24The more you try to change him, the worse he gets.
19:26I love him, Vi.
19:27That's the trouble.
19:29I know, love.
19:31I know.
19:33Oh, look who's coming, my old man.
19:35Oh.
19:37Old Father Time.
19:38Oh, I know, darling.
19:40Give us that.
19:41Oh.
19:41Oh.
19:42Oh.
19:45Oh.
19:46Oh.
19:46Are you all right?
19:48No, I'm not all right.
19:50I'm cream bloody crackhead.
19:51Come on, sit down.
19:53Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
19:54Oh.
19:56Oh.
19:56Look as if you could do a nice cup of tea.
19:58Oh, I could murder one.
20:00I'm spitting feathers.
20:01Get you one.
20:03Oh, Tommy.
20:05Here.
20:06We've got veg coming out of our ears.
20:08Well, they're good for you.
20:12Oh.
20:13Are you sure you're all right?
20:15Oh, yeah.
20:17A bit of wind or something.
20:18Yeah.
20:19Got me spuds all in, though.
20:21Despite of being sidetracked me, Robbie.
20:24He had me down to the club this morning,
20:26playing silly buggers.
20:28Still, the spuds are all in.
20:30That's the main thing.
20:32It's too much for you, love.
20:34What do you mean, too much for me?
20:37I'll show you what's too much for me in a minute.
20:39Oh, don't be it, Tommy.
20:41People are watching.
20:49Well?
20:50Well, what?
20:51I suppose you think I like all this ducking and diving, do you?
20:54Dick, I'm not saying you do.
20:55It's just that you never do anything about it.
20:57Well, what the hell am I supposed to do about it?
21:00Look, it's Robbie's club, not mine.
21:03All the dough he's putting to the place,
21:04it ought to be a bleeding goldmine.
21:06And where is he?
21:07Dick.
21:09Could I have a word with you, son?
21:11Hello, Chaz.
21:13Yeah, yeah, sure.
21:19Come.
21:19Come to the office.
21:30Who's that?
21:30Charlie.
21:32Family business.
21:33Hello, sweetheart.
21:33Where's it?
21:34In the office.
21:35Oh.
21:35With his brother talking business.
21:37Oh, oh, oh.
21:38Oh, Rob?
21:39Yeah, hang on.
21:39Hang on, hang on.
21:42Look, er, tell him that I borrowed, er, 30 quid out of it.
21:46All right.
21:47Did you like the ice, Rob?
21:48Mmm, nice, nice.
21:49Do you like it?
21:50Yeah, it's great.
21:51Listen, I've got to see a man about horse.
21:52All right.
21:53Work, work, work.
21:58Good luck.
21:59All right.
21:59Keep it up.
22:00Come on, Doug.
22:02Come on, Marty.
22:02Come on, Marty.
22:04Come on, Marty.
22:05Come on, Marty.
22:05Come on, Marty.
22:06Come on, Marty.
22:09Come on, Marty.
22:10Come on, Marty.
22:12How am I gorgeous?
22:17As the cross of night, subject third,
22:19and our full length from dual forecast, second, followed
22:22by the foreman of the pharaoh-
22:23Well, so, it's my kingdom, oh, so.
22:26Well, watch it, Rob.
22:28I've had a winner in two weeks.
22:30Listen, I had a tip for the 3.15, eh, Doc?
22:33Don't listen to him, Robbo. He's been given a donkey.
22:35As you like it. Solid gold tip.
22:37That's interesting. I had a tip for the same race as it happens.
22:43I can't tell you what. Do it in your beers.
22:46What? What?
22:47Oh, nothing, mate. Nothing.
22:49What's your tip then, Robbo?
22:51Summer long. Keep behind your cap, will you?
22:54Another donkey.
22:57The line 81, 10 to 1, 20 to 1.
23:02Been up all night again, have we, lover?
23:04Update on the latest betting in the 3.15 on Hadoff.
23:07Migglepot is now 5 to 4 on.
23:09Shy Guy, 5 to 2.
23:11Yeah, it was worth losing sleep, I'm glad, haven't it?
23:15Yeah, tell me, Rob.
23:16Hey, Rob. I thought Gil was going to keep the riffraff out.
23:20You're in, ain't you?
23:21Oh.
23:23Now, see, there was this key, you see.
23:25Oh, once upon a time stuff, is it?
23:28Now, the last time I was in here, it wasn't as tidy as this.
23:30Why are you on around here?
23:32Otherwise, I'd be more of a regular, that's for sure.
23:34Well, it's never too late.
23:36I might take you home, won't it?
23:38So, what's he like?
23:40Robby.
23:41Oh, he's a nice bloke.
23:42Bit of a robe, but nice with it.
23:45Why don't you get yourself another drink and tell me more.
23:48I'm not going to tell you again, son.
23:50I'm putting the word on you, Nick.
23:52This is a family business and that's the way we want to keep it.
23:54All right, all right.
23:55We need to see more of you.
23:56All right, John.
23:57Avoid taking it.
23:58I'll get it sorted.
24:01I'll be down in about half hour.
24:02All right?
24:03All right, it's my turn.
24:04Nick.
24:06Always comes in freeze, don't you?
24:09Listen, Robby's nicked 30 quid out the till.
24:11He says to tell you to get on the phone to a few faces and find a spieler for tonight.
24:15He what?
24:16Well, he did say it was double urgent.
24:19Oh, yeah, it would be.
24:20Find a spieler, the man says, just like that.
24:25That geezer over there, blowing down Christine's ear off.
24:30What about him?
24:30Have you ever seen him before?
24:32No, new face.
24:34If you ask me, it's just what this place needs.
24:37Oh, thanks.
24:38To, uh, to do it at night, don't I?
24:44And you didn't even find out his name?
24:46I don't believe you lot.
24:47Straight up, I don't.
24:48He seemed like a nice gazer, Rob.
24:49Oh, I'm sure he did.
24:50He was in the chair buying the beers, right?
24:53Hey, Gil.
24:56No.
24:57What?
24:57Credit.
24:58You are a sweet-natured individual, aren't you?
25:00You're up to something.
25:01I can tell by the look in your lovely red eyes.
25:05There was an ice cream in here earlier, asking questions.
25:12I don't know anything about that.
25:14Oh, play the game, will you?
25:15No game.
25:16You've got work to do.
25:16Sorry, I can't help you.
25:19I'm sure you are.
25:20Shy guy, now, three to one.
25:22As you like it, five to one.
25:24Some along, eight to one.
25:25Five to one.
25:27As you like it, now, in Haydock.
25:30And they're under started orders.
25:31And they're off at 316 at Haydock Park.
25:34Listen, man, man, man, man, do you want to know a thing that I did, man?
25:39Do you promise not to tell?
25:41Mum!
25:42Woo!
25:42Hello, Dad.
25:43You're early.
25:44Guess what?
25:45I've already seen Robbie.
25:47Oh, did you tell you?
25:48Well, no, not exactly.
25:49You can't keep him in one spot long enough.
25:51You're going to buy that, huh?
25:53Are we honest?
25:54Yeah, we are.
25:55Honest.
25:55Woo!
25:56Right.
25:57I'm sorry, huh.
25:59You're welcome.
26:01Can we really afford it, though?
26:03Well, we can now.
26:03Robbie's putting in five grand.
26:05So you can cheer up now.
26:06Could have a home of our own again.
26:08Oh, that'd be brilliant.
26:10Isn't it?
26:11Brilliant.
26:16Has Robbie already put his money in, Mum?
26:19No, not yet.
26:20So it's not a problem, though.
26:21Why?
26:22Oh, nothing.
26:24No reason.
26:27At the two furlong from home marker,
26:29it's as you like it from Phantom Lover.
26:31Then comes Johnny Sligo and Summer Long.
26:33Give it some cash.
26:34Come on, Johnny Sligo.
26:35You can't let that old nag beat me.
26:36Pizarro's boy and Cosh and Beauty are still in touch.
26:39As they go into the last furlong,
26:40as you like it is being challenged strongly
26:42by Phantom Lover and Summer Long.
26:43Go on, my cocker.
26:44Making up ground on the outside is Cosh and Beauty.
26:47And as they race through the line,
26:48it's as you like it and Summer Long neck and neck
26:50with Phantom Lover
26:51still pinning in a strong challenge.
26:53Be good to me.
26:54My nose, just a nose.
26:55Where's Johnny Sligo?
26:56And as they cross the line,
26:57it's photo finished between As You Like It,
26:59Summer Long and Phantom Lover.
27:01Oh, God.
27:02Rotten donkey.
27:05Come on beef tonight, Mrs. Mack.
27:08A horse, a horse.
27:09See your kingdom for a horse.
27:11Latest betting on the 3.45.
27:23Chris.
27:29Do us a favour, will you?
27:31Work an extra couple of hours tonight.
27:32Oh, Dick.
27:36Well, I'd planned on going out later on.
27:39Oh, I see.
27:41Yeah, I see.
27:43No problem.
27:51Excuse me, cocker.
27:53Are you a member?
27:58No.
27:59Oh, well, this is a members-only establishment.
28:01Is that right?
28:02I just said.
28:03As it happens, cocker,
28:06I'm your own business.
28:08It's still members-only.
28:10Listen, son, I'm here.
28:10I do some business with your governor,
28:12so do your sort of favour and leave it out.
28:13Now, do you understand it?
28:15My governor, as you call him,
28:17ain't here.
28:18I know.
28:20Oh, wait.
28:40He was up there one second and blew a gun in the next.
28:42I told you, didn't I?
28:43You should have listened to your old Uncle Kipper, mate,
28:46shouldn't you?
28:46Oh, get knotted.
28:47The result of the 3.15 at Haylock.
28:49First, number seven, Phantom Lover, 25 to one.
28:52Second, number six, Summer Long, seven to one.
28:54Oh, would you, Adam and Eve?
28:56As you like it.
28:57I'll tell you, Robbie Box.
28:59First, Phantom Lover.
29:00The most.
29:01Oh, it's all done by mathematics, Joanie.
29:04Ahem.
29:04Skill and mathematics.
29:06Here, don't tell us you was on Phantom Lover.
29:08I can't tell a lie, Kip.
29:1035 shows on Phantom Lover, 25 to one.
29:12Why didn't you let us in on it?
29:14What can I say, Kip?
29:15I know horses.
29:16I used to own one, didn't I?
29:17I did prepay the tax, didn't I, Joanie?
29:19Yes, Mr Box.
29:20You did prepay the tax.
29:21Yeah.
29:22With the state money, that's over 900 quid.
29:24Who's won 900 quid?
29:27Will you tell him or shall I?
29:30I'll be my guest lover.
29:31Four to five favourites are set.
29:33Oh, no.
29:38Yeah.
29:39Yeah, okay, thanks anyway.
29:41Yeah, cheers.
29:43Yeah, see ya.
29:46No luck with the spieler.
29:47All the faces you know and love are either amongst the missing or potless.
29:52Oh, well.
29:53What, nothing?
29:56There's a game down at Terry Drury's.
29:59No, he's bad news.
30:00I'm better off out of that one.
30:02Well, please yourself, mate.
30:05How'd you get on with Jordy?
30:07Yeah, it's all fixed up.
30:08It starts in the morning.
30:10I don't believe you.
30:12What's up?
30:14Things.
30:16What sort of things?
30:18Come on, spit it out.
30:19What?
30:20Well, for a start, I'm getting a bit pissed off with a club, Rob.
30:22I'll tell you.
30:23Yeah.
30:25It sort of wears you down, doesn't it?
30:27Yeah, and you don't help much.
30:29I never know what the hell's going on.
30:31Well, I can't help it.
30:32I can only play the cards I've got in my hand, can I?
30:35What is it, trouble?
30:36What?
30:37Yeah.
30:38Charlie wants me to spend more time down here.
30:41If I don't, well.
30:44So what else is worrying you, then?
30:46Nothing.
30:49Just Christine.
30:51Now, come on, Dick.
30:52We've been pals a long time.
30:53I know you two well, son.
30:57You don't know me, Rob.
30:59All right.
31:00I'll tell you.
31:02I have been running round in circles,
31:04trying to keep that club going.
31:06Cotting geezers from the town hall, from the electric.
31:09I've got the boss dipping in the till.
31:10I told Debbie to tell you.
31:12It's not the fact that you told me.
31:14It's the fact that you're doing it.
31:16And on top of all that,
31:17I take a phone call for you at the club from some building society,
31:21and apparently you're buying a house.
31:24Now, what's going on?
31:25Dick, all right.
31:26I'll tell you the score as far as the house is concerned.
31:28All right.
31:28I'm supposed to be putting 5K.
31:305K I haven't got.
31:32This is my entire wealth at the moment,
31:34and that is going into keeping the club open.
31:37All right.
31:44Let's give me another word for you.
31:52Good afternoon.
31:54Who's that?
31:55You want to see me?
31:56I think you're Robbie Bucks.
31:58Yeah.
32:04Well, if you want to float me something,
32:06you'd better forget it.
32:08Ah.
32:09Quite the opposite, actually, Robbie.
32:11Quite the opposite.
32:14Now, look at that.
32:15Surprise, surprise.
32:19Well, goodness gracious me.
32:21It's nice.
32:23You want to buy something, then, do you?
32:25Yeah, I, uh...
32:27I want to buy this gaff.
32:29All right.
32:30Cash, of course.
32:32Makes you think I'll be interested in you soon.
32:34Well, it's yourself done me.
32:35I'm welcome.
32:36You're in the, uh...
32:37things, smelly stuff.
32:39Financially speaking, of course.
32:40Oh.
32:42So it was you sniffing around, was it?
32:44Oh, young man, I cannot tell a lie.
32:47Also, uh...
32:48a little bird tells me you've got more than a bit
32:50coming on top of the old tax man as well.
32:54Yeah, well, you shouldn't listen to gossip, pal.
32:56I'm not thinking of selling.
32:57Oh, it's all that.
32:59Oh, it's for zilch.
33:0225k, cash in your hand.
33:04No chance.
33:04Think about it.
33:05I am.
33:06All right, my final offer.
33:0730k.
33:30Hello, Squidward.
33:31You out in the town tonight, are you?
33:32I'm just going down the castle to watch a few videos.
33:35Sounds good.
33:35Hey, listen, make a lot of noise when it comes out, will you?
33:38Bob.
33:39What?
33:40About this new house business.
33:43Whatever happens,
33:44don't let her down.
33:46Don't let her down again.
34:07There's a game down at Terry Drew's.
34:10No, he's bad news.
34:11I'm better off at that one.
34:15Back to the action at the start of round two.
34:17The two of them both throwing a lot of leather at the start of the round.
34:22But not getting the better of the exchange of the answers, okay?
34:25The tax are with good head punches,
34:27and it's encouraging his answers as well as she'll get us to the front of the...
34:42Surprise, surprise.
34:44What's your cherry?
34:46No other than Robbie Bucks.
34:53Ah, a little bird whispering in my ear.
34:55Sir, you've got room for another one, have you?
34:59Why not?
35:00Come in, son.
35:01Thank you, sir.
35:10Go for him.
35:16Listen, lads, this is Robbie Bucks.
35:19That's Don, Pete, Jimmy, and Dave.
35:21Here we go, Jess.
35:22All right, grab your superfuse, sir.
35:24Come on, sir.
35:25Right.
35:27Seven cards stuck.
35:28No biting and no gouging.
35:30Well, there ain't no fun if you can't have a bit of gouging, tell.
35:34Ain't no good, Rob.
35:36No, I'd have a bit of gouging.
35:38No limit bets, eh?
35:41Not in this school, me old cocker.
35:43It's pot limit.
35:46This guy dropped ten grand to Hal Brookman some time back, right, Rob?
35:50Right, you win, son, you lose, son, don't you?
35:57You can play cards or what?
35:58He's a muscled American in powder blue shorts.
36:00He says he wears those when he's going to shine.
36:03He isn't shining too much, so...
36:04Okay, here they go.
36:05...he's giving him all the trouble he can take.
36:06And so far, and noticeably in this round, Williamson...
36:10Two, queen.
36:12Three, ace.
36:14Seven, four, two, three.
36:16Seven, four, three.
36:46Seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, one.
37:11Small shrimp.
37:19Another chump.
37:30New deal.
37:42Rob.
37:44You know about this new ass business?
37:47Well, don't let her down.
37:52Don't let her down again.
38:04One ton.
38:14Two hundred.
38:20About fifty.
38:25Nope.
38:33Give it to flush, I reckon.
38:38Have a look at those, son.
38:46Flush him.
38:47Don't be worried there, Joe.
38:50Hold tight, son.
38:54What's your game?
39:02Not many, Benny.
39:04That's a spade, not a club.
39:08You're gonna have to keep his eyes open.
39:10Too bad.
39:12Too bad.
39:13Too bad.
39:13No, no, no.
39:15No, no, no.
39:20No, no.
39:21No, no, no, no.
39:24No.
39:41I've tried.
39:43I keep getting engaged, signal.
39:45I should have called round the club.
39:48Oh, come on, Robbie.
40:08I'd better jump in a cab and go and look for him.
40:10There isn't time.
40:12He's overdue now, Jan.
40:15Robbie, can't they wait?
40:17Not anymore.
40:41Oh, God.
41:09Oh, God.
41:11Mr Simms.
41:15We're only half an hour late.
41:16It matters not, Robbie.
41:18I gave you farewell.
41:21Has any my villain you caught?
41:23We did.
41:23But I'm here now.
41:24Can't we go in?
41:25It's too late.
41:25Don't you understand, Robert?
41:26You've blown it.
41:27It's too late.
41:27Princess, I...
41:28Don't say a word, Rob.
41:30I've heard it all before.
41:32Hey!
41:33I can't wait.
41:34I can't wait all day, pal.
41:35I want this there.
41:44Just drive.
41:44I can't wait all day, pal.
41:47I can't wait all day, pal.
42:37Morning. Christine let me in.
42:42Did she just?
42:47You look as though you've had a bit of a rough night, son.
42:50And to go to the tech's office.
42:51Okay.
42:52You have been doing your own work, haven't you?
42:55Always pays up when he is.
43:0730k cash.
43:10There was a builder bloke in a little while ago looking for you.
43:13He got pissed off on the left.
43:15He ain't too pleased with you, brother.
43:1830k.
43:2020k cash in the end.
43:22It's now a buyer's market.
43:24No chance.
43:25Think about it.
43:26I can wait.
43:28I have thought about it.
43:31I've got to get enough out of this place to put into a house.
43:36No chances, eh?
43:38That's right. No chance.
43:39That's only what I'll do with you.
43:43We'll cut the pack for it.
43:46Yeah, but if he had you up, we will.
43:48Don't wear me out.
43:50You want to pay your 30k for the club.
43:52You lose.
43:52All you get is 20.
43:54How's that for a gamble?
