It's easy for you to say,

especially as you're getting double.

I don't think I heard you right.

- Stevie's bit...

- What?

- You're not putting 60 grand...

- Stevie is getting his dough!

All right, I apologise!

I'm just a bit gutted, that's all.

With the stunt this crank's pulled,

we're within our rights to top him.

Seat belt.

- It's OK.

- Sweet. OK.

I got it. Are they on us?

Jesus Christ, I can't do this any more.

Come on, Dave. Take it easy.

We're in the clear.

60 grand to call your own.

I was expecting a lot more.

- You just have to keep on working.

- I don't want to keep working.

15, Ray, for me expenses!

Shut up!

- Can you hear me? I'm getting cramp!

- Shut it, Julie.

Julian! How many times

have I got to tell you?

All right. I'll overlook that, Ray. This is

not the time to have a row. 15's fair.

All right, 12.

Ten! I can't go no lower than that!

Ray, we're all mates.

More like family, really.

Ray?

All right, lads. I've had enough.

Give me a wide berth on that one.

Oh, hello, love. That's a nice dog!

Come here, boy!

You ain't still got the hump with me?

How much did you spend?

Tell me the truth.

Eight and a half.

There's ten.

God bless you, lads.

I knew you wouldn't runt me.

There's your money.

We're gonna forget all about this. -Yeah,

forgive and forget. That's my motto.

I really hope you've done the right thing.

Yeah. I'll see you later.

Potty.

Totally potty.

With this molecular transference,

the hero,

who's already been to the parallel Earth,

comes back and tells people about

these inventions for growing more food...

Oh, hello, Ray. How are you?

Linda, how have you been?

Don't get old. That's my advice.

How do these authors

think these things up, Ray?

Come on, then, puss.

You're all right about this?

Yeah, yeah. The usual place, Stevie.

You know the score, Bill. Don't look inside.

- Well, I already know it's hooky.

- That's not the point.

Homeless people enjoyed a roof

over their heads...

and hot meals over Christmas...

If they find the stuff - they won't -

but if they do,

you can tell them you had no idea.

- How's the health, Bill?

- The lungs aren't too kosher.

Listen...

Here you go. Take it.

- You don't have to do that.

- I know.

The Palm Tree.

Yeah, it's a party for an old pal.

Come on, Connie. You'll like it.

I'm not sure. I'll think about it.

Tell me you'll come. Tell me!

Maybe.

OK. Bye.

- I hear someone had it off in Hounslow.

- Did they?

- Nothing too heavy?

- Usual Mickey Mouse stuff.

Linda, I'll see you soon, darling.

Take care now.

Give my love to Alice when you see her.

Take care. See you later.

- Have you ever met one, Ray?
