I can be so good for you Love you like you're walking through

I can be

so good for you Love you like you're walking through

I just don't care.

Thank you.

How do you find nothing to do?

Oh, that's all very quiet.

Not enough leading music.

Well, keep your eye on that little team at the bar.

They look like trouble.

Anything you say, please.

gig, fellas. You are definitely on an invite back.

Oh, great.

Here you go.

Spenny?

Something the matter?

Who was told I was getting 70?

Told? Who told you that?

Oh, Sammy.

You said 70, didn't you?

Yeah. Well, that's what you said, Chris, when I fixed the gig.

70?

Oh, I said 70?

Hey, John.

I think they're superstars.

Well, 20 quid, it's hardly worth a while. I mean, knock -off transport,

left with about two quid each.

I don't know.

I don't understand you kids.

I mean, you spend most of your time on the social security or gigging in pubs.

I give you an opportunity to build up a personal following.

I mean, you do want an invite back, don't you?

Yeah, naturally.

Then take your 20.

And show a bit of gratitude as well.

Go on.

Go on.

No, we don't want no aggravation, do we?

It's been a genuine misunderstanding.

Right, Barry?

Yeah, right.

I think you went down quite well.

Really nice.

Thanks. So listen, drop back in a couple of days.

We'll talk about a return engagement.

Okay.

Yeah, thanks a lot, Chris.

See you, fellas.

I've got to get on that now, John.

Okay, that's it for the 907. Once again, we'll be back with you tomorrow night

in the Lord of Blankets. Solid soul night.

Until then, good night, and be careful.

The drink's gone. Oh, it doesn't matter, Alan. It doesn't matter? Are you

kidding? Full Bacardi and Coke?

Excuse me.

I had a full drink there. They've taken it away.

We're closed. It's not an all -night bloody drinking club.

Pool drink? I haven't even touched it.

Shut up and get out.

Listen, I had a pool drink on that table.

Are you trying to make trouble?

I'm going to complain about you.

Take your hands off me.

Take your hands off me.

Shut

up.

Come on, get out.

You was a great help.

Yeah, well, they weren't exactly the wild ones, were they?

Now, who do I see about getting paid?

Me.

Well?

No, it should be three of those.

Tenner. And another fiver for VAT.

Now, look here, pal. Now, don't give me any look here, pal business.

A mate of mine phoned me up, asked me to stand in for him, right? He said three

fivers. That's what I'm leaving here with.

I'll terribly cut.

And the next time your mate can't make it, I'll find a debt.

With the money you're paying, you'll probably get my medallion, won't you?

It's all these dopey jobs you get involved with.

Well, Dennis wanted a night off.

Dennis will be having a lot of nights off.

How do you mean?

Did you see the papers?

No.

Four of them. Thought they had it away with a Belgian juggernaut.

Six old bills sitting in the back.

Oh, dear, oh, Lord.

Your name was up for that and all.

Oh, that's nice, isn't it?

I said, no, not my Terry. He don't want to know about pickaxe handles and

shooters.

Not that I've gone over to the other side, I said. It's just that, like

during the war, we're declaring our neutrality.

Oh, my God, what's this?

What have you done, Arthur?

Stum, Terry.

Very, very stum.

Hello, Mr Chisholm.

I never knew this was your gaff, Arthur.

I didn't say it was.

What's the trouble? I mean, we've got no record of you as landlord, tenant or

registered keyholder.

What's the problem?

You've had the burglars around.

I don't suppose you caught them.

Patrol car spotted them.

Oh. But we're not sure. Were they coming out or still trying to get in?

It is your place, is it? Yeah, well, sort of. Well, let's take a look inside

we'll see if they've got away with anything. No, no, no, not necessary at

What have you got in there?

Odds and ends.

It's very nice of you fellas to take an interest.

I'll let you know if there's anything missing.

Yeah, all right, Arthur.

You'll be well insured, I suppose.

No worries.

National fidelity.

Terry.

Well, just remember, Arthur, if you're going away for the weekend, don't forget

to inform your local police station.

There's certainty to get your gap turned over then.

See you, Mr Chisholm.

All right, Arthur. No wonder Sir Keith Joseph keeps on about law and order.

Everywhere you look.

Tea leaves.

Shut the door.

Oh, what?

Oh, my.

You're at the long firm again, aren't you?

What are you talking about? I paid for all this.

Spent gear, innit? You want to get me nicked again, don't you?

Terry. This is all kosher. Then why didn't you want the law to have a look?

Of course, it's none of their business.

Do you think they have the law poking their nose in every five minutes down at

Harrods?

Nice suit.

Swedish.

Hey, you like a nice Oscar Jacobson, don't you? Get your jacket off.

Try this one on.

Just your colour.

Grey herringbone.

There we are.

Listen, just because I'm trying it on, don't mean to say I've bought it. No

bother.

130 quid in the shops.

Oh, yes, oh, yes, you look the business in that, my son.

No bother.

Oh, yes, you can have that one.

70.

Do what?

All right, then give me 50.

Listen, I wouldn't pay 50 for a suit that fitted.

Now, come on, Arthur, if he's all bent, isn't he?

Terry, on my landlord's life, this is all straight.

I have got bills at sale, receipts, invoices.

Show me, then.

No, the fella's bringing it round.

The insurance people.

Container burst open. Happens all the time.

All I'd done was buy a job lot.

It's all export stuff.

Export? You just said this was made in Sweden.

Yeah, well, import as well. Now, look, how about this?

500 copies of the digest edition of the collected works of Charles Brees and

Dickens. Now, you're not going to tell me that's Swedish, are you? Now, what

we've got to do is shift this lot and get some stronger locks for those doors.

And... And what?

Work out who it was who fussed the gear with here and tried to break in last

night.

I suppose it's never occurred to you that it might be a few pounds of the

you bought it off of?

Do you know what, young Terence?

It probably was.

I'm knocking these out at three quid a bottle. Is that about right?

That's about right, isn't it?

Going there tonight, buy three large ones, you bought yourself a bottle back.

Very clever.

Bloody publicans. Three weeks and I'll be out of pocket.

The shadow of your smile When you are

gone Will colour all...

the dawn.

Look into my eyes, my love, and

see all the lovely things you

are to me. She's in the nostalgia, see?

Oh, yeah.

A wistful little star was far too

high.

Dear old law, good weight went to your pub, innit?

Oh, now that's what I really call a song.

Eh?

Oh, what a knockout.

Eh?

It's hardly a capital chart climber, is it?

Oh, don't tell me you know about music, for God's sake.

That, that, um, was, um...

1965, if my memory serves me right.

Liz Taylor and the Welshman. What's his name in the film?

65? Yeah.

Yeah, Cassius Clay changed his name after dumping Liston after one minute in

first. You can't fault me on history, my son.

When did Harold get hit in the eye?

Oh, I don't know. I didn't see that fight.

Beautiful. Knockout.

Oh, Tom.

Well, I'll tell you what, Diane.

Basically, it's a rock and roll pub, you know what I mean?

So, um... So you don't want to know?

No, I don't.

You're all the bloody same, you lot.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Believe it or not.

Just a minute, little lady.

Don't you let that lot in there upset you.

They don't appreciate anything good, them sort of people. Of course they

Only a boozer Friday night full of yobbos.

See, my dear, your style is more your talk of the town, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, that's what I think.

Come on, dry them little tears.

You got a motor?

Where do you live?

Down Fulham Road.

Oh, well, I'd better give you a lift home then, eh?

Oh, lovely.

It's a nice anky.

It's silk, isn't it?

I've got another couple of dozen of them at home.

Go with different suits, you know. Come on.

I'm Arthur Daly.

I'm Sharon Nightingale.

It's not my real name, of course.

What, Sharon?

No.

No, Nightingale.

Sounds better in dogs anyway.

I thought you must be in the business.

Being so appreciative and everything.

Well, I tell you, Sharon, I have lots of contacts in the...

Business, you know, clubs, hotels.

I was having a drink with Jimmy Savile the other night. The charity dinner we

were at, you know.

I'll tell you, Sharon, contact is the name of the game. Yeah, I know.

That could be a lot of help to you in your career, you know. Make sure you get

the right promotion.

The proper handling.

Yeah, that's what I think.

Married? No.

Fellow at the pub, your boyfriend.

Oh, no, nothing like that.

No. He wants to be an agent.

He's been to Pittman's Business College and everything.

Nice.

Oh! Did you see that?

He had a shop window address.

Really nice.

I mean, beautiful.

I thought I was witness to a robbery or something.

We couldn't just go back a bit, could we? Just so I could have a look? Yeah,

course. Oh, thanks.

Like you said, Arthur, presentation is everything in this game, isn't it? Of

course it is.

I mean, look at the gear that Shirley Bassey wears.

See, on the stage, singing my sort of song... It'd look beautiful.

Do you want to try it on?

Oh, Arthur, should I?

Well, you're with Arthur Daly, sweetheart.

It's cabaret time.

Live a little, eh?

Long lie -in?

Oh, yeah.

With her indoors, hoovering round the bed all the time. Oh, I didn't hear

four. Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Who was it?

Singing scrubber?

What did you call her?

You heard.

She is a very special young lady, Terry.

Oh, yeah?

What are her specialities, then, eh? Oh, yeah, that's all you would understand,

isn't it?

Nice girl, nice company, plus... plus...

Enormous... Does it begin with T?

Talent.

Enormous talent.

Ah, I thought you were going to say something else for a minute. Yeah, you

would. Hey, I thought Jackie Strong was coming for these jeans.

He was, and he did.

He said these jeans with the famous label were all made in Albania and would

last about two weeks, which would ruin his reputation as an honest trader down

the market.

Yeah, Bandu.

He was only selling Christian Dior perfume the other week, made up by a

packie in his council flat kitchen by QPR Stadium, no less.

Well, listen, Cameron, you were going to tell me about this enormous talent.

That girl is going to be a superstar.

I'll be her manager.

I'll give it two years.

We'll be tax havening it in the Cayman Islands.

Caravaning it down to Canby Island, you mean? Do you know what you know?

Nothing. You forget I still have friends in Clubland. I'm still owed a few

favours, so I start making a few calls.

Like where?

Like where? Top places, like the Blue Camellia. The what?

The what, he says.

Only one of the most exclusive nighters in the West End, in German Street.

You know where that is?

Arthur, that was closed down in the swinging 60s, along with all the other

places like that.

The Golden Bangle?

Lavish floor show?

The lavish floor show now consists of a geezer putting on records while three

devs and a rock star have hamburgers and chips.

Oh, all those beautiful places.

We've lost India and all.

Yeah. Yeah, look, don't wind me up on history, Terry.

Sorry.

No, see, I don't do the West End much these days. I mean, how do they start,

know? All the kids, top of the pops.

Where do they start?

Don't know, really.

Pubs, I suppose.

Hey, that place you were working the other night, that's music, isn't it?

Well, that's what they called it, yeah.

Oh, what's the guy's name? The Ed Man.

How do I know?

I'm sitting on the sub's bench for a bouncer.

Look, you make it your job to know. That's how you get on in the world.

Hey, hey, what am I supposed to do now?

Oh, yeah, look, all them metric sizes, change them into the approximate English

equivalent, all right?

Eh? Yeah, eh.

Think about it.

Give them little muscles up there a chance for a workout.

Well, I don't think it's in psychedelic rights. It all looks a bit different.

I'm very glad to hear it.

Anyway, you probably know my name well enough.

Arthur Daly.

Can't say I do, really.

No, no. It's a little bit off my manner.

Well, the thing is, I've got this good girl singer.

Maybe you should let me decide that.

What?

Well, this is very good.

Got a demo?

Got a what?

Cassette. Yeah, now look, just take my word for it, eh?

Did you get that toy for Christmas?

Friend of mine. Got the number five in the charts.

We, uh, get a lot of presents.

Only way to do business, innit? Presents given, favors done.

Everybody's happy.

You want the record companies here. You want the booking managers, television

people. Takes a lot of arranging. Phone calls, drinks, the musical press.

Yeah, all that.

Fucking. Top musicians. I mean, that'll set you back 300 for a start.

My time, my staff's time, all the arrangements, the hassles, my

Maybe joint management if I like it.

What does it all add up to?

Simple figures.

Six.

Readies.

Well, no, no, no. No arguments, no haggling.

600 up front.

That's it.

Good chick singer. I mean...

You could end up making a fortune.

Well, man, in my experience, why would I be interested otherwise?

I'd better go now, Arthur.

Oh, don't I get a cup of coffee?

Well, I'd really like to, but, um, if the other girls... I understand, my

darling, don't you worry.

We'll have you out of here before long.

Arthur. You've been really wonderful to me.

Nothing. That Chinese meal.

Never had nothing like that before.

Well, they know I like a good king prawn in there.

And going on at the music room.

That's really, really unbelievable.

What I told you, I'm well known, respected.

Probably get a record contract out of it.

No, no.

Yeah, I've got a lot of record people coming down, personal acquaintances.

We get things sorted out. We'll go away for a few days, eh?

Marbella, you been there?

That's all those racing drivers live there, isn't it? That's right, yeah.

Hunt and all that lot. And what's his name?

Nicky Shouter?

Yeah.

Arthur, you know what we were saying earlier?

You know, about the difference in ages and everything.

I don't think it matters. Yeah, of course you don't.

I mean, all the stars do it, don't they? Yeah.

It's like they need a more mature man.

And you are a star, my darling.

You won't get in trouble or nothing at all, will you?

Cheryl, my darling, I've told you. I know how to handle everything.

What time is it?

Quarter to five.

Oh, do you live in this shambles?

We do.

It's an early start or a late finish.

Burning doors.

Locked me out, didn't she?

Thought you had her in train.

Yeah. I was giving Cher on a bell from home. She was here holding on the

extension.

Yeah, I thought of Phil.

Oi! Thought I'd get a cup of tea or something?

She brought your own tea bag.

You got a duvet or something?

Uh, yeah, there's a tartan travel rug on one of those covers.

This is a carsey, you know that?

The carsey's through there.

Simon come about them jeans?

Did Simon come about them jeans? Yeah, Simon did come about those bloody jeans.

He said they're all made in Albania, and Levi's is spelt with an I and not a Y.

Oh, I love the garters.

What's everyone got against Albania?

They were on our side during the war.

Blah! Hey, look, she's got stuff all over it.

It's probably wheat germ.

A bit of bloody germ by the look of it.

I might get a flat with that, Sharon.

Arthur, you're a happily married man.

Yeah, she got her cards tonight. I told her.

I thought you said she locked the door on you.

I'm shouting through the letterbox.

Oh, this cushion could do with a visit to Skechley's and all.

Oi!

Oi!

What? Wake me a quarter to eight.

What for?

Got to take the kids to school, haven't I?

Yeah, I forgot.

What?

Well, they don't arrive in a daimler.

Get expelled, don't they?

Oh, shut up, Terry. I'm trying to get to sleep.

Terry?

What? Put the light out.

I don't suppose there's the slightest chance of us rehearsing one of my

now, is there?

Oh, yeah, sure.

What do you want to do?

Who can I turn to?

What key?

Well, I don't know, do I?

You're the pianist.

You're the one who's supposed to know about things like that.

Oh, uh, yeah.

Um... It's this one, and it's, uh...

And I do it ever so slow.

Oh, all right, sir. Well, as the man said, you start with Follier. All right.

I won't. I never even heard of it. Shut up.

What do you mean you don't fancy it?

It's not my thing, is it, that kind of music?

I am launching a star.

Well, there ain't going to be any writers down there, are there?

And you'll be glad handing it all over the place.

You don't need me, mate.

I thought you might like to share in a moment of triumph.

I've said good luck and all that, haven't I?

Anyway, I've been doing that metrication all day.

I'm going to meet a bird at nine.

Bring her down!

I promised to take her for a Greek meal.

Well, give her a quick doner kebab and chips and bring her down.

No, she's into soul music.

I'll tell you what, I'll see how it goes, all right?

Oh, thank you.

Very considerate.

Oh, and, uh, Arthur, you know the sofa situation.

Not tonight, eh? Have I asked?

No, but... Hotels all over the place, you know.

Well, it's all right then, isn't it?

Triffid.

Might one inquire who is this little creature that makes you forsake your

friends?

Aerostess. Oh, not the little dark -haired job.

Yes.

I mean, she's not exactly Jet Set, is she?

I mean, she's not our Mandy flying me to Dallas, Texas.

No, her name is Penny and she works on the London to Manchester shuttle

You don't exactly have to be fluent in three languages for that, do you? All

needs is a good umbrella.

At least she don't sing.

Terrence.

Who can I turn to?

When nobody needs me, my heart wants to know.

Anyway, most nights I don't come in till the booth is closed. Yeah, what goes

then?

Wait.

Where is everybody?

Who? I don't know. I don't know.

The record producers.

The faces.

The gays.

I didn't show.

Sorry about that.

This is your DJ here at the music room. And here we go with our first number.

Dress look nice, sir.

Sorry, Sharon, it wasn't very much together.

You and your fan, you ought to be nicked.

That wasn't our fault.

Well, whose fault was it, then?

Well, she just did a few boom notes, that's all.

Boom notes?

You weren't exactly Matt O 'Varney yourself.

Who?

Who is Matt O 'Varney?

Famous musician, bloody great orchestra, could play anything.

Oh, well, they're difficult numbers for a band like ours. Listen, for 300 quid a

go, you should be able to get through to Warsaw Concerto.

300? Your proxy fee.

We've got 25 quid, and that's a five more than last time.

What did you say?

25?

Dry her tears.

You,

you turn me over.

No, Mr. Daly. Calm down. You had 600 quid off me. She went on. She went off.

my fault. We're the people. The record producers are celebs. Didn't show.

Invite, telephone call. Did I try my best, John? Worked our fingers to the

didn't we? You're lying. I want my dough back.

Then all I can suggest is that you put the matter in the hands of your legal

advisors. I don't have legal advisors, Sonny. I have people who come round and

punch your little head in.

That's a very nasty threat, Mr. Daly.

Made in front of witnesses.

Perhaps you'd better show Mr Daly the door, John.

Hey, watch it, watch it!

That's 80 guinea velvet.

Don't we get messed up now, do we, Mr Daly?

You don't know me, son, do you?

Well, we have heard the name.

What was that old election slogan?

Yesterday's people.

That's the trouble, isn't it, Mr Daly? Times change, don't they?

See you.

Here, I cracked it with this multiplication.

You see, one inch equals two and a half centimeters. Yeah, well, forget all

that. They had me over, Terry.

No stars on Sunday.

That Chris is going to be seeing some stars.

Forty? That's a 17 collar.

Near enough.

Collar? I thought it was the chest size.

They tucked me up very nice.

Poxy band, record executives, producers.

They had about ten squatters in the place, sharing half a pint of shandy

them.

Well, that's show business, Arthur. It's diabolical business.

600 sobs.

That man, that little flash, Chris, he stole my money. And that is a crime.

That is a liberty.

So you forget all that metrication and get over there and give him a pull.

Get the money back?

Right.

Well, supposedly he don't want to pay.

Then he gets a spank.

And he keeps getting spanked till he does want to pay.

Hmm.

What do you mean, hmm?

I mean, those days are over, aren't they?

Eh? Putting the frighteners on.

Helping one of the chaps out.

Collecting bad gambling debts.

Gambling debts?

That man stole my money.

No, he didn't, Arthur. He just ripped you off, which is your game, isn't it?

I mean, how many mug punters have you had over, eh?

You thought you were on a winner, didn't you, with Fulham's answer to Duffy

Springfield. But you were wrong.

All right, you lost.

So what? Tough.

The man threatened me.

Oh. What's he going to do at you over the head with his silver bracelet?

Marvellous, isn't he?

I mean, you are supposed to be minding out for me. I'll come to you with a

genuine grievance and you don't want to know. That's going to sound good on a

man, isn't it? That's going to do a lot for my image.

Your image?

Listen, sunshine, I am highly respected person.

Oh, yeah?

And where would that be, sunshine?

A few afternoon drinking clubs, car auctions, a few old villains with long

memories.

I don't know what's got into you.

I mean, have I or have I not done you a favour or three?

Oh, four even.

Looked after your mum while you were away?

Here we go, yeah.

Dropped round with a few presents?

Oh, yeah.

A nice bit of dray long curtains, as advertised on police files. You can't

without them.

Set you up when you came out?

You'll get in there, Arthur.

But now you've set me up to go back in again.

Look, I'm not asking you to go and shoot the geezer. All I want is a little

friendly retribution.

I'm sorry, Arthur, I'm not doing it. Look.

He nicked 600 out of my pocket. And what you are saying is I should just stand

for that, eh? No, I'm not saying that.

Well, what are you saying then?

Well, there's got to be something else, doesn't there? I don't know.

Felicitous letters.

I mean, 600.

It's high finance, isn't it?

Just sussed it.

Bottle job.

Uh -uh.

Happens. You said so yourself in the past.

There is always going to be somebody better.

Well, it has come to pass.

That Chris has got himself well protected.

You've made your decision.

Swallowed it.

Oi.

Look at me.

Am I trembling?

The guy they got down there, I could have him over in ten seconds, including

count. Course you could. Then you'd have a whack at that Chris, walk out with

the money, and there'd be a nice drink in it for you.

Yeah. And then little Chris phones the old Bill, I get done for assault, and

demand him money with menaces.

Look, can't I get it through to you? I'm not doing it.

End of message.

All right.

End of job.

Job?

I suppose redundancy pays out of the question.

Oi, my Byron notebook.

Oh, yeah.

I don't want to be found ripping you off for a Byron notebook.

I mean, you might get a contract out on me.

Have a little meal together tonight?

Oh, I don't think that I can tonight, Arthur.

Why not?

What? I was going to rehearse with you.

Where? I don't really know.

You know Barry, the keyboard player?

Well, he was going to teach me all about chromatic scales and that. But he was

diabolical. No, no, he's good.

He really is.

You see, last night wasn't really his fault.

I'll tell you what.

Can you call me back later, and then I'll tell you where I'm going to be, all

right? You know, I'm thinking of doing a whole new act.

A whole new act, eh?

Yeah, all right. Now, look, don't you worry, my love.

I'll call you later.

Bye.

Bye.

Five minutes.

You do this?

Well, you can't say you didn't need it.

Oh. I think I'd better have you living in. Yeah, I don't spoil my uniform.

I want to look all fresh and alluring for all those fellas who want to fly me

sun -drenched Manchester.

You do that, don't you?

You are romantic.

Come back specially to see me?

Well, no, not really.

Yeah, I mean, that's a bonus, but I'd rather laugh at it.

What, your best friend?

Great pal?

All that money's like a dad to me.

Yeah, well, best friend wants a favour, but could land me up somewhere where I

haven't been for a few years.

Oh, don't do it.

Yeah,

but a pal is a pal is a pal.

Somebody hurt him.

Only where it hurts most.

Pocket.

Pardon the expression, but I've got to fly.

I've got three days off and eight days' time.

I'd spend it in London.

It'd be a lot more fun if you weren't in Wormwood Scrubs.

Phone you, OK?

OK.

And another thing.

You love me.

Yeah.

But get some new bags for your vacuum cleaner.

Hello.

Do you know what, son?

You're a right little charmer.

Well, to tell the truth, aren't I?

I'm sorry to hear it.

Happens.

Forsake not an old friend is a good book, is it?

That's what he done.

Dave, I'm not asking you to take sides. If Terry had been where he should have

been, it would never have happened. I was heavily outnumbered.

Outgunned, you might say.

What? They had the shooters out.

Figuratively. I'll put it not stronger than that.

I'll get out, will you, Jimmy? Okay.

Are you squeezing another one there on me? I don't see why not.

It's Vic Piner. Ah.

Yeah, well, you can just leave the door closed.

But you've got to meet with Arthur. That's right.

Leave it out, Arthur. The man's barred. In my company?

I'll vouch for him, all right. You're joking.

We just want to discuss a little business.

I'm sorry, not here.

I mean, no disrespect to you, Arthur, but that man has upset so many people.

He don't come in, and that's that.

Well, I'm certainly learning something about friends today, eh?

Cheers. You're not very popular, Vic.

You slagged me off, didn't I? No, no, no, no, no, no. Take it easy, take it

easy. Just said you were barred.

Didn't cast any aspersions on you.

We, uh, we'd better go and have a cup of tea somewhere.

Gee.

Well, are there any licensed premises on the manor where you're not by?

No.

No.

I wonder why.

I get picked on a lot, see.

People look at me.

They think, who does he think he is?

So I tell them.

Same thing with me brothers.

So you've got to stand by them, haven't you?

I mean, family.

Oh, yeah.

Family's a very precious thing.

Want some geezer done over, do you?

No, just persuaded to pay a little debt.

Yeah.

We'll drop round me brother's yard.

Oh, well, no, I don't think it's a matter for the whole family, Piner. It's

round the corner. Just drop by.

Well, don't tell him I told you that. Don't say I phoned.

Without Vic, they wouldn't even welcome him in Broadmoor.

Yeah, but he's over 21, isn't he? He's made his decision.

Yeah, but, Terry, if that goes wrong, then it could.

Your old pal, and never mind her falling out, your old pal, he's up for

conspiracy to murder.

Should have heard her sing and all.

Wait till you see this, then.

Wait till you see Henry's collection.

That seat, that is.

Austin 730.

That is.

Oh.

World War I, that is.

Yeah, I'll keep it nice.

They, uh, they all been used?

Oh, yeah. I mean, depending how much you want to earn.

Any one of those could kill somebody. Oh, easy.

I don't want anyone killed.

Just frightened a bit, you know.

Well, you tell him you're going to kill him, you'll probably frighten him, won't

you?

He only owes me 600 quid. Well, let's say now he only owes you 300, eh?

Do you know what I mean?

Oi!

What's your game? I need to talk to you.

John!

John!

Never mind, John. I've come here to help you. Now, be quiet and listen.

You had Arthur Daly over, all right?

OK, good luck to you.

The only problem is, Arthur is a bit tight with his mummy.

If you come here to threaten me... Shut up and listen, will you?

Have you ever heard of Vic Piner?

No, well, muscles here must have, haven't you? Yeah.

He's a nutter.

Mad Vic. Now, if he gets hold of you, you'll need more than that St

to get you home.

He's right, Chris.

What's he going to do, then?

Well, what he wants to do is come in here, take the money, and then give you

good hiding just for the fun of it.

And what's your angle?

Are you one of those, are you?

Everyone has to have an angle.

Well, mine's quite simple.

Arthur Daly is an old mate of mine, and I can't afford the petrol to go and see

him if they lock him up.

Secondly, I don't see why you should get your legs broken just for being too

greedy.

No, no, no, no, no. No, we'll...

It's a bit early for the dancing, aren't you?

What are you doing here?

Oh, I've just been chatting to my friend Chris. He tenders his apologies and he

says that you left this in his office.

400.

Well, he reckons he's due 200 on account of first, teaching you a lesson, and

secondly, having to listen to that bird's thing.

All right?

Reasonable.

Of course, it's a wasted journey for young Victor here, isn't it? Oi, you

nicked my job.

Job?

You're not even on the firm, son.

I was on free entry.

Oh.

What's that?

100 a year?

You bastard!

I'm surprised at you, Arthur.

I always made you a good judge of a fighter.

Yeah.

Hey, can you hear?

Yeah. Look, I'll do a deal with you, sunshine.

You and your brothers don't start a war, and I won't tell a soul that it only

took one good left -hander to knock you spark out, all right?

Clever, eh?

See, together, you and me are very, very clever, Terry.

Putting Matt Vick at him wasn't too clever, was it? Wasn't it?

Well, was it?

Well, it got you working quick, didn't it?

Oh, my God, what now?

Well, they really did you this time, Arthur.

Cleaned you out.

There was nothing in here, Mr Chisholm.

Nothing?

Odds and ends.

All we found was a few records.

Musical, that is, not criminal.

Yeah, he's very passionate with music, this young Arthur.

Yeah, I used to be in the business.

I used to manage a girl singer.

Oh, yeah?

What happened to her, then?

Well, you know the way the kids are these days.

Ran off with a tone -deaf piano player.

And that's showbiz, isn't it, Mr Chisholm?

There was nothing in here.

Yeah.

Oh, it's an ace.

I'll change the situation

Right people, right time

Just the wrong location I've got

a good idea If you keep me near I'll be so good

for you I could be so good for you I'm gonna help ya!

Love you like you want it to.

Adieu!
