Fever Pitch Page #3

She won't have to find out.

I'm sorry, Robert, I can't.

Well, not this week.

Maybe some other time, eh?

Next season when

you've grown a bit?

Get you a programme.

Cash in advance unnecessary,

on this occasion.

To hell with it,

you can have one for free.

Thanks, sir.

Bollocks!

BOLLOCKS!

Nothing to worry about.

His handwriting's a disgrace

to the human race

but he's very bright

and enjoys the lessons.

He does. He's always

goin' on about you.

It's my enthusiasm for

Steinbeck's prose style.

Either that or something else.

The football, you mean?

Robert thinks they might

win the championship

for the first time since 1970.

Gotta get things

like that right.

Absolutely.

Did he tell you what happened

after football training?

He asked me if I'd take him

to the Arsenal.

Mr Ashworth, I'm so sorry.

He just seemed uptight about it.

His dad and me are

recently separated.

It was his dad

he used to go with.

- You don't wanna take him?

- Don't know anything about it.

I very much doubt if he'd care.

I can tell you everything

you need to know

in about five minutes.

She seemed to enjoy

the Elizabethans

but when we moved on,

she slipped back.

She dropped four places.

Was it four? No, six.

Which I found

a little disappointing

though I'm not sure

that she did.

No. She's got her heart set

on a hairdresser's

apprenticeship.

Right.

Thanks very much, then.

You come out the tube station,

cross over the street

and in that entrance there,

you buy unreserved seats, 7.

My ex can pay.

- He's a Spurs fan, isn't he?

- Yeah.

I'd go for 12 seats.

Sting the bastard

for all you can get.

Thank you so much.

You've been really helpful.

Hello, Mr Johnson.

How are you?

Evening. Suppose you're feeling

pretty pleased with life.

# Are you ready to be...

heartbroken?

Oh, f*** it!

# Well, you better

get ready now, baby

Would you like a lift?

# Get ready to bleed

You don't know where I live.

Yes, I do. Crouch End.

It's on my way home.

'Don't forget, I'll be back

'with all the top

sports stories...

'But first of all... '

How about you?

Arsenal.

Inside the stadium

or just nearby?

'Number one,

'Abigail's Party,

You really are Mr Popular,

aren't you?

All those queues at your desk.

'.. Live commentary

'on three races

from that meeting. '

Sorry.

'And the main one at 3.45.

'Now the main sports stories. '

What were you talking to

Robert Parker's mother about?

'.. Suspended Arsenal's

Paul Davis... '

Sh*t! F***! Bollocks!

I'm sorry?

Paul Davis.

Who's Paul Davis?

Arsenal.

Were we talking about him?

'.. Signed a four-year

contract... '

Sorry. I wasn't listening.

'.. Olympic headlines
