Who's your sidekick, then?

- He's my friend, Tomo.

- Tomo. All right, Tomo?

- All right.

- Where you from, then?

- Erm, Nottingham.

- Up North, eh?

Yeah, well, Midlands.

Midlands?

What bit of the Midlands is that?

- East. East Midlands.

- East, oh!

Thanks for helping us yesterday. I see

you're wearing the shirt. Nice one, son.

What you doing later on this afternoon?

D'you wanna earn a fiver?

Yeah.

Well, I was asking Marek actually, Tomo,

to tell you the truth.

Erm, basically, what it is, tomorrow,

I want you to sit down on a deckchair,

with a big pile of deckchairs by you...

- Yeah.

...and when someone comes along

and they want to hire a deckchair,

you have to stand up,

just for a couple of seconds,

take the money and sit back down again.

Sound easy enough?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Can I do it as well?

Will you vouch for him?

Is he an 'ard worker?

Yeah.

- Yeah?

- I think so.

OK, five pound each.

Is that all right, is that a deal?

- Yeah, yeah.

- There's one little catch.

See this lot of deckchairs we've got 'ere,

and these ones lined up over 'ere,

we gotta sand them down today,

so no one gets splinters.

So, if you wanna pick up the sandpaper

and get going on it, son.

So, do we get a fiver for this

and a fiver for tomorrow?

- That's a tenner.

- He's a joker, in't he?

No, five pound, that's it.

And you gotta prove yourself to me first,

d'you understand?

- OK.

- Yeah? All right, go on.

No, no, no, no, Tomo, not that one, son.

Look, one of them over there.

Pick one up. You gotta start your own chair,

go on. Get a spurt on,

Have we gotta do 'em all?

Yeah, all of 'em, yeah.

There ain't that many of 'em.

The sooner you get a start on it,

the sooner we'll do it.

I know that he's an 'ard worker.

There you go.

Tomo?

Tomo, wake up.

Maria.

Your food.

There ain't a lot there, mate.

There's only a little bit.

I can't give you more.

The rest is for my dad.

How much is your dad having?

Eat.

So, erm, why have you got

so many pictures of Maria?

Is she your girlfriend, or summat?

Yes, she is.

So... have you had sex with her?

No.

Only felt the bazookas?

No!

Well, obviously, her being your girlfriend,

you've kissed her, yeah?

Not yet.

Look, mate, in England,

it's sort of like a tradition

for like a... girlfriend to kiss her boyfriend,

so, it sounds to me like you're

not actually with her, you just like her.

In Poland,

we mustn't kiss to be together,

and you think only about one thing.

But, mate, we're not in Poland.

This is England and so... it sounds to me

like she's not your girlfriend.

So, I'm gonna try and get in there

with her, so, when I get with her,

I'm not gonna be that comfortable
