We all get stinkin' rich and go buy
f***in' great big houses in Cheshire.
- Job's a good 'un.
- And who are you?
Rob Gretton. I already manage
a couple of bands.
But they couldn't sniff the sweat
round your bollocks.
You lot are somethin' else.
I hold my hands up.
I am a believer in Joy Division.
F***in' hallelujah.
which means I know anyone of any
music biz use anywhere in this city.
I'll have you lot signed within
the month. In fact, I guarantee it.
We've already got a manager,
haven't we, lads?
- Who's that, then?
- F***in' me.
- What's your name, mate?
- Terry.
- Terry what?
- Terry Mason.
Terry Mason. Tez.
You mind if I call you Tez?
Tez, you know jack sh*t about this
business. Wanna know how I know?
'Cause I haven't heard of you.
I bet you haven't even got
a f***in' telephone, have you?
Didn't think so. How will you book gigs
and cut deals without a phone,
you daft c*nt?
No offence. I call everyone that.
Look, I've got to pack up my gig.
Ring me.
Rob's Records, Rob speaking.
All right, Ian. Yeah, good, yeah.
Well, that's f***in' brilliant, Ian.
Well, I'll speak to you later, then.
Fine, I understand.
But you've got to sign with Factory.
This isn't an issue.
We're a fresh and exciting label,
you're a fresh and exciting band.
And, most importantly, we both fly
the flag for the Republic of Manchester.
- Don't give a f*** about that.
- I'm a royalist.
- And I suppose they're Nazis as well.
- We're not Nazis.
- What about the money?
- It's 50l50 on the profits.
You own all the publishing rights
and can walk away at any time.
- You serious?
- Rob...
I don't f*** about with talent
I want to work with.
I'll even sign the contracts in my
own blood if it'll make you happy.
We'll speak later, then.
Now remember, we are live,
so no swearing or they will cut you off.
- What about "arse"?
- What?
- Is "arse" a swear word?
- "Arse", yes. It's a swear word.
- No, it's not.
- Bernard,
out there I know
"arse" isn't a swear word.
Here, in TV land,
"arse" is most definitely a swear word.
Trust me, I know
I'm a master of knowing
when I can and when I can't.
What about "big dog's cock"?
Can you say that?
No.
Seeing as how this is
the first television programme
which brought you the
first appearances from everyone
from The Beatles to the Buzzcocks,
the most new and interesting sounds
in the North-West.
They're called Joy Division,
a Manchester band
except for the guitarist who comes from
Salford. A very important distinction.
This is called Transmission.
I can't believe you did it.
Must have lost about half a pint.
