(Johnny) You having a drink, Bill?

- Here.

- Ta.

- What'll you have?

- I'd like a bitter, I think.

(Johnny) Bitter?

Don't have any bitter.

We'll have some mild.

Give us a quick one, Jock.

- Settled down?

- Yes, thanks very much.

You'll be all right.

Who's buying the beer?

Tap me for it.

Give us a couple on the slate, Jock,

they're all skint down here.

- Shall we have a listen to this?

- Yes, all right.

Well, cheers, boys.
