Friday night at the Alwyn Hotel.

- Do you know it?

- Yeah.

And it's big money, mate. I'm

not sure if you're up for it.

How much?

Well, put it this way, Sammy Bush

walked out with 60 grand last week.

Oh, too rich for my blood.

Well, just thought, seeing as you were flush,

I thought you might be up for it.

- Sixty grand?

- Well, just thought I'd mention it, that's all.

- All right, Mike.

- I'll let you know about it though, all right?

- All right.

- Be lucky. Don't work too hard, will ya?

Take care.

- Oh, it's lovely.

- Good. I'm glad you like it.

- Yeah, it's gorgeous.

- I do think that, uh, 295 is a pretty good price.

- Well, it's pretty expensive, though, isn't it?

- A lot of money.

It's a rising market.

This is your chance to jump in.

You're first-time buyers.

There's no chain involved.

Right.

- You know, you should consider that.

- Right. We will.

- We'll think about it.

- Good. I'll be in the car, yeah?

- All right. Thanks.

- I really like it though. I think it's gorgeous.

- I'm just figuring the cost.

- I can do it.

What I earn at the pub

and your wages, easily, yeah.

I need somewhere to practice me trumpet

without the neighbors complaining.

You can practice anywhere. You don't play

anymore anyway. You and your trumpet.

- You really like it?

- I do. It's got a little garden.

- We'll figure out a way to do it.

- Really? Oh, really?

- Yeah.

- I love it.

Fifteen thousand.

Fifteen thousand.

No. I'm out.

Yeah, me too.

It's 15,000 to you,

Terry.

Uh...

All right, I'll see ya.

Yeah.

Played.

Lend us 5,000.

Want 10?

Lend us 5,000.

Thanks.

Oh, you all right?

Good to see you.

- Angela.

- Hi.

- Hey, gorgeous. You off?

- Oh, hey, babe. Listen, I left my phone at yours.

- Um, pick it up tomorrow?

- Okay. That's fine.

- You were great tonight.

- Thank you.

Look, uh, well, I was just in the area

and I wondered if you were free tonight?

- Um, no. No, I'm not, actually.

- Oh.

Um, I'd much rather go for a drink

with you than this date...

but, um, can't really get out of it.

Well, I-I-I understand.

I thought I would give it a try.

Well, if you are free tomorrow,

I'm doing a photo shoot in Brighton.

- A photo shoot?

- Yeah. I'm just modeling a few things.

You could, um, come if you like.

Spend the afternoon together?

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

All right.

Terry? Terry. Thank God you're here.

Look, I know it's early-

- Ian, I won 30,000 last night.

- What? What?

- 30,000 playing poker.

- 30 grand?

Well, you need to put it in

a bank and never play again.

I can't tell you the feeling.

My head was swimming. It was like I stepped

out of my body. Every bet, every card.
