spinning wheel of misfortune.

the sound of the ball.'
(Thunderbolt)
'To begin with, he was Jack Manfred.'
- Now, then.
- I want a job, Giles.
I see. Well...
let me tell you
We like personality authors.
People the public recognises.
Celebrity's what sells books.
You can always find somebody
to do the writing.
What we need is the face.
Then the concept.
Right now I'm looking
for a soccer novel.
Something where a tycoon buys a
lousy team, takes it to the top.
Seven-figure transfer fees.
Corruption all down the line.
Violence on and off the pitch.
Steroids.
You got any concepts?
It could be a thug story.
I'll tell you what,
Couple of pages.
With plenty of sex, of course.
Fiona!
Interesting, Giles.
Let me give you
three words of advice, Jack.
Don't give up. Stick with it.
Who persists, wins. That's my motto.
Write, write, write.
'And Jack had three words for Giles.
'Go f*** yourself.

'He'd forgotten Giles' advice,
Giles said three words.'

- Yeah, Dad, it's me.
- 'How's it going? '
- Good, yeah.
- 'Found a job yet? '
- No.
- 'I've got something for you.'
In London.
I've been chatting with some friends.
Now, do you know
the Golden Lion casino?
'They're looking for a dealer.'
Yeah, that's not
what I wanna do, Dad.
I know you don't like
taking my advice...
No, it's not that.
'Listen, I've set this up for you.'
You call the Golden Lion
and ask to speak to Mr Reynolds.
That's the manager.
I don't know him personally
but I have spoken to his boss.
'Now, don't say no, Jacko.
Give yourself a break.'
All right, Dad.
Reynolds at the Golden Lion.
Yeah. All right, Dad.
Yes. I'll call him.
'You do that. That's my boy.'
So how are you doing, Dad?
Great. Just started a new company.
(Fruit machines beeping)
Solid financing. It's good.
'Jacko,
you know I love you, don't you? '
- Yeah. I know that.
- 'Don't let yourself down.'
- I won't.
- 'I'll keep in touch.'
(Dialling tone)
Goodbye, Dad.

Uh-huh. Blackjack.
See you then, bye.
Sorry to have kept you.
What'll you have?
'No. Jack knew

- Jack.
You've been recommended
by the management here.
They knew your father.
He's a bit of a reputation,
hasn't he?
- Has he?
- In any case, I understand
you've had previous experience
in South Africa.
You'll find the rules here
a little different.
Before we start,
have got a police record?
- No.
- What school did you go to?
- I was at Bedales.
- Oh.
I don't think I know that one.
Private, I suppose.
in the UK.
High volume, small action
and middle of the road.
That's us. OK, Charlie.
- Do you have a salon prive?
- We tried.
Wasn't enough business.
Punters like company.
