00:26Pappy's shop won't let us have nothing on tick.
00:28He says it's part of his culture.
00:31I don't think it's got anything to do with a 46 quid.
00:33We already are him, don't we?
00:34Funny enough, he mentioned that.
00:39Stuart's got nothing to do with me.
00:40That's right.
00:42But the moment you suggested going down to the auction
00:44and buying on your own,
00:45I knew there'd be trouble.
00:47I won't say nothing on the matter, Rodney.
00:49Good.
00:53Must have seen him coming.
01:00Good morning, Uncle.
01:01Good morning, Joe.
01:02Pappy won't let us have no breakfast.
01:03It's all right.
01:04I haven't felt much like eating recently.
01:10What do you ever like, Al?
01:12Always partly, Del.
01:13Good, good.
01:16Nice thick frost, is there?
01:17Bit slippery underfoot, yeah.
01:19Yeah, yeah.
01:20Terrific.
01:20Lots of little flecks of snow in the air, is there?
01:22Yeah, a bit of sleek, Del, yeah.
01:24Oh, cushy.
01:25Nice northerly wind howling in from the Urals, is there?
01:29Cuts right through you, Del.
01:30Now, because today, Uncle Albert,
01:33owing to young Rodney's foresight and GCEs,
01:38while all them other plonkers down the market
01:40are selling woolly hats and thermal underwear,
01:43we're going to make a right killing.
01:44Do you know why we're going to make a killing?
01:48We ain't got woolly underwear.
01:50We've got suntan lotion.
01:55We ain't got just a little drop of suntan lotion.
01:58We've got 500 bloody quid with us.
02:01I told you before, I bought it as an investment.
02:04An investment menage a trois.
02:08In the middle of the worst winter for two million years,
02:11with the weatherman laying hogs on a new ice age,
02:14this dipstick goes out and buys out Amosalaya.
02:17The weathermen are also forecasting a boiling hot summer.
02:21So come May or June, we can sell all of that
02:23or swap it for something else.
02:25Like 50 or 60 anoraks, maybe.
02:27You won't give me no credit, will you?
02:29Nor would that Paggy.
02:32Why don't you shut up, Albert?
02:33Nothing to do with me.
02:35That 500 quid that you squandered on this stuff
02:38was the last of the company's capital.
02:40Oh, and how was I supposed to know that?
02:41How were you supposed to know that?
02:43You're the firm's accountant, you wally.
02:46Don't call that at me now, are you?
02:49Oh, look at that.
02:51We've got nothing to sell and no money to buy with.
02:55Can't be that bad, Del.
02:56Must be something you could knock out.
02:58Yeah.
02:58I know what I would like to knock out.
03:01What's in the van?
03:03Nothing.
03:03What's in the garage?
03:04The van.
03:07The only thing we've knocked out in the last month
03:09was that electric deep fryer to the governor at a nag's head.
03:12And I'm waiting for a comeback on that.
03:14Well, it's him, isn't it?
03:15Eh?
03:15I mean, ever since he come to live here,
03:17we've had nothing but bad luck.
03:18What's he on about now?
03:20Oh, I don't know.
03:21You all right?
03:21What about the time he was in the Navy, eh?
03:23Every single ship he ever sailed on
03:25either got torpedoed or dive-bombed.
03:28Two of them in peacetime.
03:31Del, what now?
03:32It was a jinx.
03:33Oh, leave it out, Rodney.
03:34Gordon, Benny.
03:35You'll be burning witches next.
03:38Oh.
03:43Went down and ordered Grandad's headstone the other day.
03:47Yeah.
03:48Beautiful thing it is.
03:50It's got all angels and things around it.
03:53And it's got this great big eagle
03:54with a scroll in its foot.
03:56Foot, yeah.
03:57Of course, I think I'll have to cancel that now.
04:00That would cheer them up
04:01down the plastics factory, wouldn't it, eh?
04:04It's like they'd gone and bought
04:05all the fiberglass and everything.
04:07Something's bound to turn up, Del.
04:10Are you theirs, eh?
04:11Oh, if you say so, Rodney, you say so.
04:13I was reading in the Sunday papers
04:15about them fellas what pick up
04:16with these rich old widders.
04:17What'd they call them?
04:19Toy boys.
04:22You want to see the stuff
04:23they pick up for presents.
04:25Solid gold watches, sports cars, money.
04:28Might be worth considering.
04:32Well, we both admire your spirit, Uncle,
04:34but don't you think you've left it
04:35a bit late for that sort of thing?
04:38I'm not talking about me.
04:39I meant you.
04:41Me?
04:42I'm not selling my old body
04:44to some old tart, thank you.
04:47Not even for the family?
04:49Especially not for the family.
04:51I'm not going to let myself
04:52become some...
04:53hooker.
04:59Listen, Uncle.
05:00You came to stay with us
05:02for a couple of nights
05:03about four weeks ago.
05:05So you don't know us very well.
05:07So let me explain something to you, you see.
05:09You see, you can't expect Rodney
05:12to go and do something like that.
05:14I mean, even I wouldn't expect Rodney
05:16to do something like that.
05:20Yeah.
05:21I suppose it was too much to ask.
05:24Sorry, Dale.
05:24It's all right.
05:26I mean, Rodney can't even give it away,
05:27let alone flog it.
05:43Yeah, look, stick it out
05:44on the windscreen, will you?
05:52We sell this
05:53and get something more useful.
05:56Oh, what?
05:56Like a bus pass.
05:59In the mood, Rodney.
06:00It's not in the mood, all right?
06:05Yeah, only if one of them
06:06was to accidentally
06:06fall in our direction, will you?
06:08Oi, leave off, Dale.
06:09Well, you've got nowhere to hide it.
06:14Yeah, well, you know,
06:15that's what I'm doing.
06:17I suppose you're all right.
06:18Come on.
06:22Hello, Mike.
06:24How's that deep-fried, Dale,
06:26sell you?
06:31Oh, what a word with you, trotter.
06:34Yes, yes, of course, Michael.
06:35I'll, er, I'll be in the office.
06:39Go on.
06:41What are you trying to do to me?
06:43I didn't know, Dale, boy.
06:45Oi, Dale.
06:46I just had a thought
06:47where we could have one of them barrels.
06:48Yeah, where?
06:48In his mouth.
06:52That's enough, thanks, Mike.
06:54Come on, darling.
06:55I ordered chicken in a basket
06:56half hour ago.
06:57What are you waiting for?
06:58The egg to act?
07:00It's not my fault.
07:01Our deep fryer's on the blink.
07:06Ain't customers stupid, eh?
07:11Put it like that, I suppose they are.
07:14Here you are, come on.
07:14Get that down your neck.
07:16It's small rum.
07:17Just to keep the cold out, Dale.
07:19Yeah.
07:19Make the most of it.
07:20Could be your last.
07:21I've been thinking.
07:22Oh, leave it out, Rodney.
07:23We're in enough trouble as it is.
07:25Right, now, look.
07:27When I was studying for my GCE in maths, right,
07:30I had to learn how to do
07:31cross-cancelling equations.
07:34Yeah?
07:34Now, the idea is
07:36you list all your problems
07:37and then eradicate them
07:38using a process of elimination,
07:41thus discovering the solution.
07:43That's what I've been doing.
07:46Go on, then.
07:46I'm game.
07:47Go on.
07:47Right.
07:48One.
07:49We are traders
07:50who have nothing to sell, right?
07:53Yeah.
07:54Two.
07:55We are traders
07:56who have no money to buy with.
07:58Correct?
07:59I'm going to smack you
08:00right in the bloody mouth.
08:02Hang on.
08:04Three.
08:05Oh, no, there ain't a three.
08:07So, the solution to our problem
08:10is that we have to find a way
08:13of making money
08:14out of nothing.
08:19Yeah.
08:22Oh, I don't know how we do it.
08:23That's...
08:26And you had to use ink
08:27to come to that conclusion?
08:29Stone me, Rodney.
08:30A Millwall fan
08:31could have worked that out.
08:33Don't kid upon it, me do.
08:34At least I'm trying,
08:35isn't I?
08:35Which is more than I can say for you.
08:36Me?
08:37I wasn't the one
08:37that spent 500 quid
08:38on all that rubbish.
08:39Look at that packet in, you two.
08:42Look at you.
08:43You're at each other's throats.
08:44Bloody money.
08:46Whether you've got
08:46too much of it or not enough,
08:47it always causes trouble.
08:49Don't worry.
08:50Something will turn up.
08:51You'll see.
08:54I'll see you two later.
08:55Yeah, yeah, all right.
08:58Think we ought to go with him
08:58in case he gets manned?
09:01No.
09:02He's skinned anyway.
09:05Well, that's it, innit?
09:06I'm going to have to
09:07pawn all the jewellery again.
09:08Honestly,
09:09these rings,
09:09they know more about
09:10Ock than a German wine taster.
09:13Something's going to turn up, Del.
09:15Without luck,
09:16if I threw a fiver
09:16into the air,
09:17it would come down
09:17as a summons.
09:19I don't ask much
09:20out of life, do I, eh?
09:21Only an eighth
09:22any more than I can spend.
09:23And look at me, look.
09:23Look, I'm gutted.
09:24It's all your fault, Rodney.
09:25And I don't start
09:26all that again.
09:27Well, it is.
09:29I mean,
09:29ever since you were like that,
09:30you've done nothing
09:30but hold me back.
09:32I held you back?
09:33Yeah.
09:34I mean, when Mum died,
09:35I should have had you put in care.
09:36I would have been someone
09:37by now.
09:38I would have done
09:38I would have probably
09:39had my own penthouse
09:40and I'd have had Aston Martin
09:41with a telephone
09:42and all that.
09:43Well, I'll tell you something, Del.
09:44You'd have been doing me a favour
09:45if you'd had me put into care
09:47because at least then
09:48I might have got a proper job
09:49when I left school
09:50instead of humping
09:50your old suitcase
09:51all over London.
09:52But you didn't want
09:53to leave school, did you?
09:54If it had been up to you,
09:55you would have been there
09:55drawing your old age pension,
09:56wouldn't you?
09:57I only wanted to stay there
09:58while I got my GCE
09:59in maths and art.
10:00And a lot of good
10:01they've done in the firm.
10:02The only time your GCE
10:03has come in handy
10:04was that time
10:04I asked you to count
10:05them tins of paint.
10:10What the hell's there?
10:11Oi, I don't think
10:13it was that big fright of you.
10:15I'm not going to stay
10:16to find out.
10:16Come on, it's not lively.
10:17Come on.
10:18Del!
10:19Yeah, we'll just,
10:19wait a minute, lad.
10:20It's your Uncle Albert.
10:22What about Uncle Albert?
10:23He's fallen down our cellar.
10:25Quick!
10:25Falling down the cellar?
10:26I had a big stick.
10:32Well?
10:33No.
10:34No.
10:35No doubt.
10:36The old neck's gone.
10:38No, no, no.
10:38I mean, what happened?
10:39I don't know.
10:40I just looked up
10:41and there was Uncle Albert
10:42plummeting towards me.
10:44Really?
10:45Oh, John, where is he?
10:46Oh, he's over there somewhere.
10:49How the hell did he get over there?
10:51He hit the plank and bounced.
10:54He went through the air
10:55like one of them springboard divers.
10:57My neck fell off, Del.
10:58Your neck?
10:59Your neck?
11:00Uncle Albert nearly ends up
11:01in a jumbo flight path
11:02and all you can think about
11:03is your rotten Gregory.
11:04Oh, come on.
11:06You all right?
11:08I'm a bit shaken and dazed, Rodney.
11:10Yeah, it's probably jet lag.
11:13Come on, get him onto his feet, Rodney.
11:15Come on.
11:15Up you come.
11:16Fancy leaving an open cellar
11:17door unguarded.
11:18Oh, good might to sue the brewery.
11:20Yeah, put your arm around, Rodney.
11:21Sue the brewery?
11:22Put him down.
11:23What the hell do you think you're doing?
11:25Del, did you just pick him up?
11:26I know what I just said,
11:27but you don't know what sort of damage he's done.
11:29He might have broken something.
11:30Yeah, he has.
11:31About four dozen bottles of Guinness.
11:33Come on, Del.
11:34There's nothing wrong with him.
11:35He said so himself.
11:36Yeah, but how does he know that?
11:37How does he know that?
11:38He might have hit his head and got percussion.
11:41Unwadded.
11:42Hey, look, the first thing to do in first aid
11:44is never move the victim, right?
11:46You'll have to move me soon, Del.
11:48The last bell's just gone.
11:49You see that?
11:50He's got ringing sounds in his ears.
11:52This is even worse than I thought, Rodney.
11:54Quick, nip upstairs and get on a telephone.
11:55Right.
11:56Yeah, phone for a solicitor.
11:57Yeah.
12:01A solicitor?
12:02Yeah.
12:03Del, you can't sue.
12:05You don't want to put money on it, do you, eh?
12:07Him falling down that hole
12:09could be the biggest bit of luck we've had in years.
12:11But, Del, if he'd hurt himself,
12:12there'd be little signs, wouldn't there?
12:14Like blood and pain.
12:16His hat ain't come off.
12:17How's that, all right?
12:19Don't give us all that, Quincy Cobblers, Rodney.
12:22You don't know how bad I am.
12:24You see?
12:24You don't know how bad he is.
12:25Now, quick, whip upstairs and phone Solly Atwell.
12:28You'll find his number in the yellow pages.
12:30Go on, look like me.
12:30Solly Atwell's our solicitor.
12:32Yeah.
12:33Bloody hell, he's more bent in the villains.
12:35He's just the sort of man we need in a case like this.
12:37He's a specialist.
12:39Go on, get on the blower.
12:41You don't mind if I phoned for an ambulance first, though, yeah?
12:44Ambulance.
12:45Ambulance?
12:45Good thinking.
12:46That looked great on the report.
12:47Well done, Rodney.
12:48Come on, away you go.
12:50Del Brewery are going to pay through the nose for this.
12:53I told you something to turn up, didn't I, Del?
12:55That's all right, Uncle.
12:56You just conserved your oxygen.
12:58That's right.
12:59Yeah.
13:00Uncle Albert, did I hear you groan in in pain?
13:02No.
13:03Well, why not?
13:04Come on.
13:04Oh!
13:06Oh!
13:08Well, what do you reckon, Solly?
13:10I'm afraid it's bad news, Derek.
13:12I'd brace yourselves if I was you.
13:14According to this medical report and the x-rays they took, there's nothing wrong with him.
13:20There's got to be something wrong with him.
13:22He was none too clever before he fell down in pain.
13:25Sorry, Del Boy.
13:26Now, the marks scratch, abrasion or bruise.
13:28He must have landed on something soft.
13:30Yeah, he did.
13:31A landlord.
13:32If I were you, Del Boy, I'd accept the brewery's offer.
13:35What offer?
13:36Their solicitors phoned me today.
13:37To save any adverse publicity, they're willing to settle out of court for £2,000.
13:43Two grains.
13:45Take the money, Del.
13:46No, I wanted more than that.
13:48I wanted enough money to set us up proper.
13:51Wait a minute.
13:52If they're willing to settle for £2,000 out of court, think what they'll settle for in court.
13:59But, Del, there's nothing wrong with him.
14:01Well, it ain't my bloody fault, is it?
14:03Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, please.
14:06Now, perhaps we should look at this case from another angle.
14:09I mean, we've only been considering the physical damage.
14:13But what about this?
14:17You ain't going to get a lot for his bloody hat.
14:21No, I mean his mind, Derek.
14:23Psychological injuries.
14:25Will the court swallow that?
14:26If you three say the right things, they will.
14:27Hey, listen.
14:29There was a case in America where this chap fell down a manhole.
14:32And, like your uncle, he sustained no physical injuries.
14:35Yet, he successfully sued the Los Angeles City Council for $30 million.
14:42$30 million?
14:44Claimed the accident had ruined his sex life.
14:48At that rate, we'll get £1.75.
14:52We're not claiming anything like that.
14:54I'm just giving you that as an example of how these unseen injuries can mount up in the old compost
15:01steaks.
15:01Now, look at the facts as I see them.
15:05An elderly man who fought bravely for his country,
15:08sailing the seven seas,
15:10ensuring that Britain never, never, never shall be slaves,
15:14has had his retirement.
15:15His few well-earned years of rest ruined by the negligence of a multinational company.
15:22An active man struck down by the thoughtless action of this mammoth witch corporation.
15:31The bouts of amnesia,
15:33the fear of the outside world,
15:35and most distressing of all,
15:38losing the use of his legs.
15:41Sit!
15:44Right.
15:45That's it.
15:46Do the bizzo, Solly.
15:47All right?
15:48Listen, I don't want no Mickey Mouse magistrates.
15:50I want a high court.
15:51I want a pucker brief,
15:52you know, black cake, crown topper,
15:54all the exes.
15:54All right?
15:55Right, Solly.
15:56I'll set the wheels in motion.
15:57Oh!
15:58I shall need a list of witnesses.
15:59Oh, no, you see, there weren't no witnesses.
16:02Will ten do?
16:03Lovely.
16:05Now, Mr. Trotter,
16:06you were standing outside the Nags Head public house
16:09when this tragic accident occurred.
16:11Yes.
16:12You saw the incident clearly?
16:14Yes.
16:15Would you tell the court what happened?
16:19My uncle fell down a hole.
16:23Yes.
16:24Would you tell the court how he fell down the hole?
16:27Uh, well, it was, um...
16:35No, no, Mr. Trotter.
16:37Did he trip?
16:38Did he stumble?
16:40Oh, no.
16:41Well, um, he sort of, like, walked
16:45and then fell down the aisle.
16:48Didn't he see the warning notice?
16:50There was no warning notice.
16:52Wasn't he stopped by the guardrail?
16:55There was no guardrail either.
16:56I see.
16:57No warning notice?
16:59No guardrail sounds very dangerous to me.
17:02Yes.
17:02I can remember thinking to myself,
17:04at the time,
17:06that's rather dangerous
17:06someone could fall down.
17:09And how right you were.
17:12So, you ran straight down to the cellar?
17:15Yes.
17:16And were you the first person
17:17to find your uncle?
17:18Yes.
17:19What did he look like?
17:21Horrible.
17:25Would you please tell the court
17:26are you related to the plaintiff?
17:29No, no, I just drink in his pub.
17:31That little one there is me uncle.
17:33Quiet.
17:34I saw it, all your worship,
17:35utter negligence,
17:36a complete disregard
17:37for public safety.
17:39Yes, yes, quite.
17:40Mr. Fraser,
17:41I don't think we need concern ourselves
17:42any further with the accident itself.
17:44I believe liability has been proved
17:47quite conclusively.
17:48Much obliged, Your Honour.
17:49Let us move on now
17:50to the after-effects of the accident.
17:53Has your uncle changed in any way
17:54since this happened?
17:55Oh, do I?
17:56Oh, yeah.
17:57Oh, yeah, he's a completely different man now.
17:59I mean, he used to be so active.
18:00You know, he was full of
18:00swimming-sponsored walks,
18:02marathons.
18:04What, I used to call him
18:05the Jimmy Savile of Peckham.
18:07Well, he was always out and about.
18:09You'd rarely find him in.
18:09And now?
18:10Well, and now he's...
18:11He is like the Olympic flame.
18:14He never goes out, your worship.
18:16He's locked in his room.
18:18He's frightened he might
18:19fall down another hole.
18:21And how has the gradual loss
18:22of feeling in his legs
18:24affected him?
18:24Well, how would it affect you, Captain?
18:26I mean, one minute, you know,
18:27he's there doing his acrobatics
18:29to his Dizzy Lizzy LP.
18:31And then the next minute,
18:32he has to ask us
18:33whether or not
18:33he's got his shoes on.
18:35But, I mean, the worstest...
18:37The worstest thing of all,
18:38Your Honour,
18:39is these sudden bouts of amnesia.
18:42You know, they have led to him
18:43having some very nasty falls.
18:45I fail to see the connection.
18:47How can amnesia
18:48cause one to fall?
18:49He keeps forgetting
18:50he can't walk.
18:54I have no further questions,
18:55beloved.
18:56Mr. Gerard?
18:57No questions, Your Honour?
18:58You may stand down,
18:59Mr. Trotter.
19:00Stand down?
19:01I've only just died.
19:01I've got loads more
19:02I could tell you.
19:03That will be all,
19:03Mr. Trotter.
19:12All right, Mike.
19:15How are we doing, Sully?
19:16We don't want to try.
19:17This could be a ten grander
19:18coming up here.
19:19Yes, sir.
19:20Do you intend calling
19:21any more witnesses?
19:22I have no further witnesses,
19:23my lad.
19:23Mr. Gerard?
19:24Just one, Your Honour.
19:25I call the plaintiff,
19:27Albert Gladstone Trotter.
19:31I thought you said
19:32they wouldn't call him.
19:33I said we wouldn't call him.
19:35Look, don't worry,
19:35I've already briefed him.
19:36Any awkward questions?
19:37He just claims
19:38loss of memory.
19:39Loss of memory?
19:40Nine in me will forget.
19:42Look in your right hand
19:44and read the card.
19:45There's no need to stand,
19:47Mr. Trotter.
19:47Please remain seated.
19:48Oh, thank you,
19:49Your Worship.
19:53I swear I tell the truth,
19:55old truth,
19:55nothing but the truth.
19:56You are Albert
19:57Gladstone Trotter,
19:59presently residing
20:00at 368 Nelson Mandela House
20:03Dockside Estate, Peckham?
20:05I think so, sir.
20:07Yes.
20:07I'll make this as brief
20:09as possible, Mr. Trotter.
20:10I realise how distressing
20:11this must be for you.
20:13Do you have any recollection
20:15of the accident?
20:17Very little, sir.
20:19One minute,
20:20I was walking along
20:21on my way to post
20:22my entry form
20:23with a criticism factor.
20:26Next,
20:27I was falling
20:28through the air.
20:29All my life
20:30flashed before me.
20:31Battling the river plate,
20:32sinking in the grass,
20:34speed,
20:35radon telemine.
20:37Silence that man.
20:38That's all your honour.
20:40It's all a blank.
20:42My memory keeps going,
20:43see?
20:43Have you ever suffered
20:44with amnesia before?
20:45I can't remember.
20:48See?
20:49But you can remember
20:50the war.
20:51After all,
20:52you have all your ribbons
20:53there to remind you.
20:54Where were you based,
20:55Mr. Trotter?
20:57I was overseas, sir.
20:59Really?
20:59How odd.
21:00I looked into your
21:01naval records
21:02and it seems that you
21:03spent the best part
21:03of the war
21:04stationed in a storage depot
21:06on the Isle of Wight.
21:09Hardly overseas.
21:10You want to try
21:11walking in it, Pat?
21:15I also noticed,
21:16Mr. Trotter,
21:17that in May 1944,
21:19you were one of
21:20several naval ratings
21:21seconded to a marine
21:22parachute unit
21:24specially formed
21:24for missions
21:25behind enemy lines.
21:27I believe you were
21:28involved in laundry matters.
21:29But whilst with this unit,
21:31you underwent
21:32basic parachute training.
21:34Would you tell the court
21:35what this training
21:36consisted of?
21:39Jumping off of things.
21:40Jumping off of things.
21:42In other words,
21:44learning to fall
21:45without injuring oneself.
21:47My memory
21:48ain't what it used
21:48to be, Your Worship.
21:49I sympathise,
21:50Mr. Trotter,
21:51and I intend to help you
21:52as much as I can.
21:53Tell me,
21:54could you possibly be
21:55the same
21:56Albert Gladstone Trotter
21:57who, in 1946,
21:59fell down the cellar
22:00of the Victory Inn,
22:01Portsmouth,
22:02and received
22:02£100 compensation?
22:04I can't remember
22:05that far back, sir.
22:06Well, let's try
22:07a more recent case, then.
22:08Could you have been
22:09the same
22:10Albert Gladstone Trotter
22:11who, in 1951,
22:13fell down the cellar
22:13of the Coach and Horses
22:14Peckham Rye
22:16and received
22:17a £225
22:18out-of-court settlement?
22:20My mind's a blank.
22:23Maybe you were
22:24the same
22:24Albert Gladstone Trotter
22:25who, in 1949,
22:27fell down the cellar
22:27of the Cross Keys-Off
22:28Licence Graves End.
22:30How about
22:30the Thatched Inn
22:31Canning Town?
22:33Or does the
22:33Brunswick Club
22:34New Cross
22:35ring a bell?
22:36I don't believe it.
22:40It's a bloody nightmare,
22:41Rodney.
22:41It's a bloody nightmare.
22:42He's been down
22:43more holes
22:44than Tony Jacklin.
22:54I don't believe it.
22:56I do not believe
22:57what that garagly
22:58old git has done to us.
23:00I mean,
23:00the only hole
23:01he hasn't fallen down
23:02is the black one
23:02in Calcutta.
23:06And what was it
23:07the insurance company's
23:07nicknamed him?
23:08The Ferrets.
23:09The?
23:11He's had 15 previous
23:12lawsuits
23:13for falling down holes.
23:14Those are the
23:15known cases,
23:16Rodney.
23:16I mean,
23:17how many times
23:17has a landlord
23:18settled out of court
23:19with a quiet backhand
23:19that'll save all the aggro?
23:30All right,
23:30come on.
23:31How many pubs,
23:32off-licenses
23:32and drinking clubs
23:33have you done in your time?
23:35Well,
23:35quite a few,
23:36Del.
23:37The first seller
23:38I fell down
23:39was genuine.
23:40Honest.
23:41Because I'd learnt
23:42to fall properly,
23:43I didn't hurt myself.
23:44But I still got
23:45compensation out of it
23:46and I thought,
23:47this is handy.
23:49So whenever me
23:50and your granddad
23:51was hard up
23:51for a few bob,
23:52I'd, er,
23:54go and fall down
23:55an hole.
23:56I was only
23:57trying to help.
23:58Only trying to help?
24:00I was nearly done
24:01for contempt of court.
24:02His name has been
24:03sent to the Director
24:04of Public Prosecutions
24:07and Solly and the Brief
24:08looked like
24:08they're going to get
24:10defrocked
24:11and you were only
24:12trying to help.
24:13I said,
24:13I'm sorry, Rodney,
24:14I didn't want to do it.
24:16I mean,
24:16I'm past all that
24:17stuntman luck.
24:19But you two
24:20have been good to me
24:21these past few weeks
24:23and I wanted to get
24:24some money to,
24:25well,
24:27repay you.
24:29And I wanted to get
24:31your granddaddy's
24:32headstone.
24:40You did it
24:41for granddaddy's
24:42headstone?
24:43He was my
24:44older brother,
24:45Del.
24:46When I was a kid
24:47he used to look
24:48like me.
24:49I never did
24:50anything for him.
24:52Never had the chance
24:53to.
24:55Till now.
24:58Sorry, boys.
25:05Yeah.
25:08Yeah, all right.
25:11Don't worry about it,
25:12Uncle Helper.
25:17Come on, Rodney,
25:17let's get Ironside
25:19home.
25:27doing that.
25:28Nice, isn't it,
25:28boys?
25:30Terrific.
25:32I'll be there
25:32and knock out
25:33some of that
25:33suntan lotion,
25:34eh?
25:37Here, just a,
25:38just a minute.
25:40Why am I
25:41pushing you?
25:42You can walk,
25:42you lazy old son.
25:45Yeah, I forgot.
25:46Oh, had another
25:47little bout of
25:48amnesia, eh, Del?
25:49Don't you start
25:50all that blackout
25:51nonsense with me.
25:52I'm...
