It's up on the roof.

It's a good, quiet place to talk.

- Right.

- Right.

All things bright and beautiful...

- Who was that masked man?

- Search me.

Come on. Yeah, come on.

Come on. Sit doon.

Coochie, coochie, coochie...

Coochie, coochie, coochie coo.

Coochie, coochie, coochie coo.

I've got the plan.

If I go get the key for the watchman,

we'll pass it on to the guy

on the inside, the little guy.

He'll go to the back gate

and tap out the signal. Three taps.

The van goes in, the gate

comes down again. Really quick.

Ronnie'll show you the stuff to take.

Just the sinks, nothing else.

What are you daein' here?

What are you daein' here, you mug?

I came to tell Simmy

what you've been sayin'.

I forgot about the two taps.

It's a good job you remembered.

Aye.

It's good to have you with us.

It's a big job, but it's simple

and that's the beauty of it.

We're all going to be rich.

Have you finished with this roll here?

Big, big money.

Capital for anything you want.

I'm going to make you rich. Come on.

Two coffees and a roll and sausage,

wasn't it?

- Yeah.

- 57 pence, please.

I wonder if you could take care

of the coffees?

Look, I've left my wallet

in my other jacket pocket.

I'll square you up later. I'm sorry.

You're a screwball!

Big money, eh?

Lots of capital, do what you want!

- You cannae even buy me a coffee?

- I'm sorry.

How do you expect to do a robbery and

you can't even buy me a cup of coffee?

That's what we're daein' it for.

We've nae money just noo!

Can't do a robbery without money!

I'm in the gang two minutes,

two minutes and I'm losing already!

OK, lads,

can I have your attention, please?

Come on, a wee bit of hush, attention!

Will you shut up

and give me your attention?

Down...

Will you shut up!

Right, lads,

the boss wants a word with you.

Thanks.

I'd just like to say you're doing

a great job. Keep up the good work.

Thanks.

What does it do?

It puts the alarm system

out of action completely.

How does it work?

You find the main fuse box

inside the warehouse.

- Yeah.

- Locate the fuse for the alarm circuit.

- Yeah.

- Then you throw this box at it.

- It should knock it tae f***!

- Yeah.

Hey, what does that dae?

It puts the alarm system

out of action completely.

Head up. Swing your arm.

- Wal, stop muckin' about.

- I'm no' muckin' about!

- Aye, you are.

- I'm no'!

We've got dresses to try on and make-up.

I'm tryin' my best!

- What else have we got to do?

- Have you got the clothes?

- Aye. You?

- Aye.

- Everything ready?

- Aye.

But... how do you become a girl?

Convince yourself first

before anything else.

- Tell yourself you're a girl.

- How?

- 'I'm a girl.' Say it.
