- Bloody lucky.
- Oi, Dixie!
- Come back if you think you're so tough!
- Stop it!
- He's coming back!
Oh, my God! Dixie!
Take one.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
- Remembered it?
- Yeah.
Okay, does it say, "The Prems"?
- Look at that!
- Oh, my God!
MACCA:
Did I say that though?- Did I say that though?
- You did say it.
- Is that what I said, is it?
- Yeah, you did.
- Did I say that?
- You owe us one beer.
Found you, then, boys.
Why'd you make us
come all the way up here, man?
Yeah, four stops on the Tube.
Are you f***ing mental?
Yeah, and I paid for the tickets,
and I want my money back, okay?
Yeah, I'll sort the money back, no worries.
So listen, I've had an idea. I've got a plan.
A one-off seminal gig.
What does that mean?
It means no more gigs, right,
other than one gig here
which will become a massive event.
- No.
- What exactly does that mean?
No, no, no, boys. Listen to me.
Trust me on this.
Have I let you down yet?
I've been thinking about this for days.
London is full of boring bands.
Second-rate Kasabian wannabes
in skinny jeans and leather jackets,
it's boring, man.
Who wants to be the slag in school?
- Who wants the slag?
- I want to be the slag.
Yeah, you do, probably.
Everybody wants the girl
that nobody can get.
Do you want to be Shakin' Stevens or Elvis?
You know what I mean?
Do you want to be the Monkees
or do you want to be the Beatles?
That's how good you are.
We'll make this gig like when the Pistols
played the 100 Club.
Or when the Roses played the Hacienda.
I'm serious, it'll be that kind of gig.
They'll talk about it for years to come.
If you play here, they will come.
I guarantee it.
- Who will come?
- Alan McGee, for a start.
- F*** off, man.
Bollocks, man.
Ring him. His number's on there.
- That could be anyone.
- Ring it! Ring it now!
- MACCA:
Yeah, ring it.- All right, fine.
-(RINGING TONE)
- I'll sort the gig out.
All right, butt?
Are you the guy that puts the bands on?
Might be.
- Can you put my band on?
- If you like.
- How much is it?
-500 quid.
Five hundred? Oh, that's well decent.
Help me out no end this month.
I'm a bit squeezed, like.
Do you know what I mean?
It's 500 quid to hire the venue.
- Oh, I pay you?
- Yeah.
That's bollocks. It's not like that in Wales.
- Is that McGee? Alan McGee?
- This is McGee. Leave a message.
F***. Hi, Alan.
(LAUGHING)
- What night can we have?
- Thursday is free.
We top of the bill?
You pay 500 quid, you can be
the only band on the bill. How about that?
- When do we pay by?
- Tomorrow.
- You accept cheque?
- Do I f***?
-(MACCA LAUGHING)
- F***ing McGee, man.
This is on it.
