Give me the pudding!

No, no! Idiot!

Come back here, idiot!

No, no, no!

Give me that pudding!

I want the pudding!

No, no!

Voil! Seaweed, potatoes and

the pice de rsistance... black pudding!

What's this?

- Potato.

- Potato.

No... potato.

Potato.

Potato, potato... whatever!

They were like an old married couple,

but, it must be said,

a very lucky old married couple.

- Gold!

- Gold!

- Gold! Gold!

- Gold!

Gold!

We're as rich

as the dirty great King of Spain.

Did he really say that?

Aye, something like that.

But they soon realised

that all the gold in Mexico

wouldn't have helped them at all.

Because you can't eat gold?

Exactly, Aonghas!

And they kept not eating gold,

until one day MacDonald had a brainwave.

Genius! You're a genius!

Idiot! You're an idiot!

Off you go, then!

I know how to paddle!

Off you go then, idiot!

MacDonald wore

the Spaniard's shirt for luck.

But a lucky shirt it was not.

Damn you! Let me out!

While MacDonald languished in jail,

the Spaniard waited patiently.

Aw, no!

I'm not going to spend

the rest of my life here,

with the crabs picking over my bones... no!

Finally, he ended everything

with the utmost dignity.

Black pudding! Black pudding!

I'm a good-looking genius! I've got it!

Yes! Yes!

My darlings!

When MacDonald was finally released,

his first thought was to steal a boat

and save his friend.

Stop! What are you doing?

You! But how did you get off the island?

I walked.

What?

I cunningly used the gold

to weigh my body down

and walked along the seabed,

periodically drawing air

from inflatable black pudding skins!

Stop! Stop! Stop! I've heard enough!

Do you have the gold?

- Gold?

- Oh, yes! I have your share. 25/.

A quarter!

If you got me off the island. But you didn't.

So it's 25/.

Daylight robbery!

After risking my life to save you!

OK, OK.

As they say, better a friend in court

than a penny in your sporran.

Come on! Let's go!

Do you want any potatoes?

I have some for you.

Potatoes! I've thought of little else.

I wonder what they'd be like fried?

Fried! Fried! For the love of God,

what is it with you people and fried food?

And some people say he was the first man

in the world to open a chip shop!

- Chip shop?

- Aye.

You've heard of McDonald's, haven't you?

Anyway, there's only one way

to teach you lot.

Do you know what way that is?

The Spanish way.

Adis, amigos!

Come on! We have to go after him!

Get a move on!

What a shame I didn't stay on dry land

It's the truth. I'm no sailor

For as long as I live I'll never sail again!

High time, too!

Get inside!

We're going to have a ceilidh, Peggy dear.

The surge of the sea
