900 pounds is on the

line now, and so is Cheryl.

Hi, Robert. I'm nervous.

- Don't be nervous, Cheryl.

- Is it Bob Dylan?

No, you silly daft b*tch!

It's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy", Rod Stewart!

- It's Billy Bragg!

- Shut up, you mental case!

It's Rod f***ing Stewart!

You're getting excited, Steve.

People used to say me and Rod

have a certain resemblance.

Hope you got a better class of flop sorted

this time.

That's a... That's a... oxymoron.

Got you there, didn't I?

No such thing as a better class of flop,

Ray, is there? Contradiction in terms.

There's one I nicked earlier.

Dave rung the plates.

# Baby's got an atom bomb

# Motherfucking atom bomb

# 22 megatons

# You never seen so much fun

# Baby got poison gas

# Baby got heart attacks

# Baby got a pain on tap

# Baby gimme some of that... #

"Colt Comanche". That's good, innit?

It don't say Comanche. It says

Commander. Didn't you go to school?

- Got expelled.

- What for? Hitting a teacher?

No. Shagging her.

Gave her one in the language lab.

I look like a f***ing banana!

That's the point, so we can see each other.

You don't have to go too strong,

understand?

Is he gonna be sweet?

Long as I tell him what to do and it's not

complicated, Steve's sweet as a nut.

Oi!

Put that down, will ya? That one's yours.

Go and make a cup of tea or something.

He's just a kid.

He shouldn't be doing this.

That's kids these days, innit?

You know my Joanne?

Her second eldest, Daniel,

my grandson, he's only five.

He comes up to me the other day

with his girlfriend, holding her hand.

He says, "Granddad,

I want to tell you something".

I say, "You're not getting

married, are you?"

He went, "No.

We're going into business together".

Different generation, Ray.

No angles except for that.

All comes down to a bit of dough.

What's so funny?

It never used to be just about the money.

It used to be about loyalty, being

staunch. -Being staunch, yeah.

Oh, you're so f***ing cynical, ain't ya?

I'm telling ya, the modern disease

of this society - cynicalism!

I'll get it. Don't worry.

You wait and see the other motor.

You got four minutes.

In, bosh and out. Four minutes.

STOP! STOP!

Get out!

Move! F***ing stay there!

Get over! Round there!

Get on the f***ing floor!

Get in the f***ing corner!

Get in the f***ing corner now! Move!

You! On the floor! Down!

Out! F***ing stay there!

Get on the f***ing floor!

Three!

Four more in the corner!

Out! Get f***ing out there! Move!

Now! Get in the f***ing corner! Move!

Get f***ing out!

Get in the corner!

Don't be a f***ing hero!

Two!

Get your head down!

One!

That's it! Let's go!

Leave it!

Stay there! Don't move!
