- 00:12♫ But you don't ask questions
- 00:14♫ Then brother I'm your man
- 00:18♫ Cause where it all comes from
- 00:19♫ Is a mystery

- 00:23♫ And the tides of the sea
- 00:25♫ But here's the one that's driving me berserk
- 00:29♫ Why do only fools and horses work
- 00:32♫ La la lala

- 00:39- No, they're beautiful ain't they?

- 00:42has got measles, mumps or a scabby eye,
- 00:45because these are guaranteed to bring
- 00:47a smile right back onto his face.
- 00:49Now listen, gather round everybody.
- 00:50Listen to me, now listen ladies,
- 00:51I want to tell you something, please don't let it go
- 00:53any further because I'm afraid I might be in breach
- 00:56of the Official Secrets Act, right.
- 00:58I happen to know that little Prince William has one
- 01:00of these little fluffy toys in his nursery in Buck House.
- 01:04Now, I'll tell you how I know, shall I?
- 01:05Because his dad gave me a bell last week
- 01:08and he said, Del Boy, Del Boy, he said,
- 01:11I'm in right lumber, the enemy's doing her pieces
- 01:14because I've forgotten Spud's Birthday.
- 01:16Now, Spud happens to be the nickname
- 01:17for the little Prince William.
- 01:19So what did I do?
- 01:20I walloped straight round there with one of these.
- 01:22And it was end of aggravation, end of story.
- 01:25Now, they come complete with batteries.
- 01:27They're guaranteed fully house trained.
- 01:28Whoops, nope that one isn't, never mind.
- 01:30Look, these are not made in Taiwan
- 01:32and these are not made in Hong Kong.
- 01:33These are made in Burma.
- 01:35What can't speak, can't lie.
- 01:37(dramatic music)
- 01:40Now, I'm not going to mess about with coppers.
- 01:42Now, that's a Freudian slip, so I'm not asking for 14 quid,
- 01:45I'm not gonna ask for 10 quid.
- 01:47Who'll give me six quid for this little yap?
- 01:51If these were fluffy little chickens you'd be saying,
- 01:53good heavens, they're going cheap.
- 01:56Going cheap, do you get it?
- 02:00And I'll tell you why I've got to get rid of them, shall I?
- 02:03Because I'm going on me holidays
- 02:05and I need me suitcase, right.
- 02:07Now, what I...
- 02:08What I, er...
- 02:12Sorry I can't stay.
- 02:13Tell you what, I just remembered
- 02:14me flight leaves in half an hour.
- 02:17See ya!
- 02:24Excuse me!
- 02:25Oh!
- 02:33(pottery crashing)
- 02:37(toys squeaking)
- 03:03Shut up, will ya?
- 03:18(dogs barking)
- 03:34(tires screeching)
- 03:55(dogs barking)
- 04:13- Had a good day Del?
- 04:18- Had a good day, a good day?
- 04:20Oh the best, Grandad, the very bloody best.
- 04:23I've been chased by a gendarme,
- 04:25attacked by Pussycat Willum and almost caught rabies.
- 04:28And it's all this dipstick's fault.
- 04:31- Oh, he don't half exaggerate.
- 04:32- Exaggerate?
- 04:34You should have been with me in that alley Rodney.
- 04:35It was like Call of the Wild.
- 04:37Why didn't you warn me that that copper was coming?
- 04:39- Because I didn't see him.
- 04:40- You didn't see him?
- 04:42What d'you want me to get you, radar or something?
- 04:45- Oh, you've gotta give him the benefit
- 04:47of the doubt, Del Boy.
- 04:48- Yes, thank you, Grandad.
- 04:50At least somebody understands.
- 04:52- I mean, they are difficult to spot
- 04:54with their size 18 boots and their pointed heads.
- 04:59- Why don't you shut your mouth, you sarky old goat!
- 05:02- Oh, and that's another thing.
- 05:03What about last Friday then,
- 05:04when we were knocking out them Italian shirts?
- 05:06Listen to this one, Grandad.
- 05:07That wasn't just one copper you failed
- 05:09to warn me about, it was an entire squad car.
- 05:13I mean, it stood there by the curb, all big and white
- 05:15with a red stripe running through it like a tube of Signal.
- 05:20- Well, I didn't see it.
- 05:21- You didn't see it...
- 05:22You must have been a tiny bit suspicious
- 05:24when this ginormous great big jam sandwich
- 05:26pulled up next to ya?
- 05:28- Well, maybe he needs medical help, Del?
- 05:31- Yeah, like psychiatric treatment.
- 05:33- Or glasses.
- 05:34- Look, I don't need psychiatric treatment
- 05:36and I don't need specs, right.
- 05:39I've had a lot on me mind just recently.
- 05:41I've been struggling to find a way
- 05:43of making a very important announcement.
- 05:44- Oh yeah, what important announcement?
- 05:48- Alright, for the past two weeks or so
- 05:51I've been taking stock of my life.
- 05:54Who I am, what I am and where I'm going.
- 05:58- And that's taken you a fortnight?
- 06:00I could have answered all them questions for you,
- 06:01could have been answered them all during a commercial break.
- 06:05- Will you just shut up for one minute?
- 06:08I am 24 years old, I have two GCEs,
- 06:1113 years of schooling and three terms
- 06:14at an adult education center behind me, right.
- 06:17And with all that, what have I become?
- 06:20I'm a look-out.
- 06:23- No, Rodney, you're wrong.
- 06:25You're not just a look-out.
- 06:27You're a bad look-out.
- 06:30- Alright, alright, so I'm not very good at it.
- 06:33Perhaps that's cause me heart's not really in it.
- 06:35- I'm not asking you to put yer heart in it,
- 06:36just yer eyes'll do.
- 06:39- Del, what I'm trying to say...
- 06:43I'm thinking of breaking up the partnership.
- 06:52- What partnership?
- 06:54- Ours.
- 06:55- Oh, what do you want to do that for?
- 06:56We're doing well.
- 06:57Business is booming, profits are up.
- 06:59What more d'you want?
- 07:00- I want to make my own decisions.
- 07:04And I've made one Del, I'm going it alone.
- 07:07- Who with?
- 07:08- Mickey Pearce.
- 07:09- Mickey Pearce, Mickey Pearce, oh, leave it out.
- 07:12He couldn't keep a rabbit going with lettuce.
- 07:14- You wanna watch that young Pearcey.
- 07:16He's a bit too fly for my liking.
- 07:18He'd rob his own grandmother, he would.
- 07:21- Oh, don't be stupid Grandad that was never proved.
- 07:25Anyway, you give credit where it's due, right.
- 07:28Mickey's quite an astute businessman.
- 07:30And he's putting capital into this venture.
- 07:33- Oh, putting money in, is he?
- 07:36- Well, no, but he will as soon as his Giro cheque arrives.
- 07:40- I see, and what are you putting in?
- 07:42- I've got money, Del.
- 07:44- Oh, oh, have you?
- 07:45- Yeah, I've got my half of the partnership.
- 07:48- What partnership?
- 07:49What our part...
- 07:59Alright, if that is the way that you want it, my son.
- 08:04Cause you'll have to understand one thing, Rodney.
- 08:06Going it alone means exactly what it says.
- 08:09Right, from now on, you've got
- 08:10to pay your own way in the world.
- 08:11You pay your own way in the pubs
- 08:12and you pay your own way in this house.
- 08:14You make a mistake you stick by that mistake, alright?
- 08:17- Fine.
- 08:18- Fine and if things don't go right for you,
- 08:20I don't wanna hear no moaning or whining from ya.
- 08:23- Look, I won't moan or whine about nothing.
- 08:24- Right, there you go then.
- 08:31- Is this all I got?
- 08:33Oh bloody hell, Del,
- 08:34all them years of working, and you give me this.
- 08:36- Yeah well, I mean, you know,
- 08:37business's a bit shaky, profits are down.
- 08:39- Hold on a minute, just now you said we was doing well.
- 08:42- Yeah well, we are doing well, relatively speaking, Rodney.
- 08:45I mean we are doing well,
- 08:46compared to an Iranian gin salesman.
- 08:50Anyway, I had to buy some stock
- 08:52off Alfie Flowers yesterday and I mean a trader
- 08:55is only as good as his stock, right.
- 08:57- Alright, well, this'll have to do then, won't it.
- 09:01But I'm going to prove to you
- 09:02that I've got business acumen,
- 09:04that I am as quick-witted as you, Del.
- 09:07See you down the auction tomorrow.
- 09:09- Alright, how will I recognize you?
- 09:11- Ah, I'll wear that stripy tie with...
- 09:15See ya.
- 09:17- Lot 35, ladies and gentlemen,
- 09:19is a consignment of smoke-damaged fire alarms.
- 09:22Now, they're industrial models, all guaranteed,
- 09:25sort of, to be in perfect working order.
- 09:28Well, we've written evidence from the nightwatchman
- 09:30to say they all went off when the factory went up.
- 09:32Now, there's 70 all-told and they usually retail
- 09:36around the 30 quid mark.
- 09:37So I can start the bidding at 50 pound the lot.
- 09:40- Go on, bid for 'em.
- 09:42- What do we want industrial fire alarms for, eh?
- 09:45How many factories do we know are going to catch fire?
- 09:49- Alright, Rodney?
- 09:52- Good morning, Derek.
- 09:54- Hello, young Michael.
- 09:55- Watcha Del, it's good here, innit?
- 09:59- Mm, terrific.
- 10:01- This is my first auction.
- 10:03- I thought it might be.
- 10:06Listen, a word of advice.
- 10:08You've gotta be very careful what you do
- 10:09with your hands in a place like this.
- 10:12I mean, I know you didn't realize it, Mickey,
- 10:14but just now you put in a 40 quid bid
- 10:16for an electric generator when you scratched your bum.
- 10:19- Did I?
- 10:21- He's winding you up.
- 10:24- The state of him.
- 10:28What are you after?
- 10:29- Cut-glass goblets.
- 10:31- No, no, we ain't.
- 10:32- But I thought you said...
- 10:33- No, no, we're not after nothing in particular.
- 10:36- Oh I see.
- 10:38Now listen, the one that you wanna beware of is Lot 37.
- 10:42It's nothing more than a load of old scrap iron, right.
- 10:45So be careful.
- 10:48See you later.
- 10:53- 130, thank you sir.
- 10:54130, do I hear any more?
- 10:56130.
- 10:58Down to young towser.
- 11:01Now, ladies and gentlemen, we come to lot 36.
- 11:05112 pieces of near perfect cut-glass goblets.
- 11:09Take a look, ladies and gentleman.
- 11:11- This is us, Rodney.
- 11:12- No, hang on a minute.
- 11:14Let's have another look at Lot 37.
- 11:16- Yeah, but Del told us to be careful of that one.
- 11:18- Yeah and why do you think he did that?
- 11:21Use your noddle, Mickey.
- 11:23Del's after Lot 37, ain't he?
- 11:26He's just trying to put us off
- 11:27and leave the field open for him, ain't he?
- 11:29I know how his mind works, son.
- 11:33Right, Lot 37, assorted agricultural machinery.
- 11:37Hey, that could be anything.
- 11:39That could be tractors, combine harvesters.
- 11:42- Yeah, we could take 'em out in the sticks
- 11:44and do them old carrot crunchers up.
- 11:46- Hey, shall we go for Lot 37 then?
- 11:49- Yeah.
- 11:50Yeah, yeah.
- 11:54- You bought this son?
- 11:57- Yeah.
- 12:00- There's always one at every auction, ain't there, Del?
- 12:02- Yeah, get two for the same price at this one.
- 12:06- Oi you, this stuff is a load of rubbish!
- 12:09- I know, I did try to warn you, Rodders.
- 12:11- Yeah, but I thought when you put...
- 12:12- Yeah, no, the trouble with you is Rodney,
- 12:14that you will insist on thinking.
- 12:17- Well, what have you bought then?
- 12:19- I got those crystal goblets that you were after.
- 12:24- What are these things?
- 12:25- What those?
- 12:26They are lawn mower engines.
- 12:28- Lawn mower engines?
- 12:30- Yes, listen they're not ordinary lawn mower engines.
- 12:36- No?
- 12:37- No, they're broken lawn mower engines.
- 12:49- Uh, Del.
- 12:51-[Del] Mm.
- 12:52- We'll probably have a few problems
- 12:54getting these back to the, er, depot.
- 12:57- Yeah, we come down on the Green Line, see.
- 13:00- Oh well, your best bet is to hire
- 13:02an open back truck then, ain't it?
- 13:05- Yeah, but we was wondering whether you could take
- 13:08maybe a few in the back of the van?
- 13:11- Back of my van?
- 13:15You must be joking.
- 13:17I've only just cleared 'em out of the van.
- 13:23- You mean you was selling 'em in the first place?
- 13:26- Yeah.
- 13:28That is the rubbish that Alfie Flowers sold me.
- 13:31Normally, I'd never have bought it, but you know,
- 13:32he caught me when I was a bit non compos mentis
- 13:35down at One Eleven Club.
- 13:38Well, look, I never thought I'd ever get shot of them.
- 13:40But you know me, Rodney.
- 13:41He who dares wins.
- 13:44Actually, it made a tidy little profit on it an' all.
- 13:49- Well, what are we supposed to do with them?
- 13:51Well, why don't you do what I did?
- 13:53Find yourself a couple of right little plonkers
- 13:55with cash on the hip.
- 14:03- So what we gonna do?
- 14:07- Wait till he ain't looking and run away.
- 14:11- No, we can't do that, he's got my address.
- 14:13- Yeah, well he ain't got mine.
- 14:15- Oh thanks, partner.
- 14:17- Well, you would insist on bidding for 'em.
- 14:19- Yeah, and who wanted to go down to the sticks
- 14:21and flog 'em to the carrot crunchers?
- 14:24- Well, you said they were combine harvesters and tractors.
- 14:26The way you were talking we were going to do
- 14:28a deal with Weetabix.
- 14:29-[Rodney] Oh, get off my back.
- 14:33-[Mickeyl] How we going to get home anyway?
- 14:36- Hello Grandad, here are, look at this.
- 14:38Bought you some strawberries, go on, dip in.
- 14:40- Oh, here, they ain't very big, are they?
- 14:44- What do you mean they ain't very big?
- 14:46You wouldn't like one of those
- 14:46up yer nose for a wart, would yer?
- 14:48- Well, no.
- 14:52- Well, go on then, shut up and eat up.
- 14:53I'll put the kettle on.
- 14:55- You're splashing out a bit, ain't yer?
- 14:57- Yeah, well, I've had a right blinding week.
- 14:59I've sold the lot.
- 15:00Here, I even sold those technicolor
- 15:02woolen tea cosies I bought.
- 15:04- How d'you manage that?
- 15:05Who the hell wants woolen tea cosies these days?
- 15:08- No, no, no, no, look, I got that Mrs Murphy right,
- 15:11to stitch up all the holes.
- 15:12And then I whipped down to the youth center
- 15:14and I flogged 'em to the West Indian lads as soppy hats.
- 15:21There you go, look, there's the housekeeping money,
- 15:23alright, and look at that, there's a tenner for yourself.
- 15:25- Oh cheers, Del.
- 15:26- That's it, don't squander it.
- 15:28- No, no, I'll invest it wisely.
- 15:33How's young Rodney doing?
- 15:35- Oh well, the opposition are floundering somewhat.
- 15:38Well, to be more precise, they're going down
- 15:40like a one-legged man doing the hokey-cokey.
- 15:45I've seen Rodney skulking around
- 15:46the garden centers and what 'ave yer.
- 15:48- He ain't got rid of them lawn mower engines yet?
- 15:51- No, they're still in their depot.
- 15:54Well, depot, that's Mickey Pearce's garden shed.
- 15:57Here talking about that.
- 16:00Do you know what happened last Tuesday night,
- 16:02somebody broke into their shed
- 16:03and nicked two of them engines.
- 16:04- Ah no, that's rotten, innit?
- 16:06I feel sorry for young Rodney.
- 16:09- No, no, no, it's alright because Wednesday night
- 16:11they broke in again and put 'em back.
- 16:13(door slamming shut)
- 16:14- Oh here he is.
- 16:15Listen Del Boy, don't say nothing
- 16:17about them lawn mower engines.
- 16:19I think he's getting a bit embarrassed about it.
- 16:21- Alright, I won't mention 'em.
- 16:27- Alright Del?
- 16:28- Terrific, brill Rodders, had a blinding week.
- 16:30How about you?
- 16:31- Oh fine, could not be better.
- 16:37- Sold those lawn mower engines yet?
- 16:40- Lawn mower, lawn mower?
- 16:41Oh no, no, we've had lots of inquiries, obviously,
- 16:45but we're hanging on for the right price, you know.
- 16:47- Oh that is the way, Rodney,
- 16:49agent provocateur as the French would say.
- 16:51- Well, that's what I thought.
- 16:55Oh that reminds me, did the paper boy
- 16:56bring my Sun this morning?
- 16:58- Well, we've had to cancel it, Rodney.
- 17:00- Cancel it, why?
- 17:01- Well, you haven't paid yer bill, have you?
- 17:03- What, I'm paying that separate as well now, am I?
- 17:05- Yeah, well, you're on yer own now, remember?
- 17:07- Oh yeah, yeah, it's alright, I'm just saying,
- 17:08you know, as long as I know.
- 17:10I'll go and pay it tomorrow.
- 17:12- You hungry, Rodney?
- 17:14- Ah well, I had a pretty hefty lunch
- 17:17with a client earlier on.
- 17:18But, yeah, I reckon I could manage some egg and chips.
- 17:21- I'll go and put the pan on.
- 17:23- Just a minute, just a minute.
- 17:24Has he paid his housekeeping money?
- 17:28- Well, I've got a bit of a cash flow problem at the moment.
- 17:31- Well, so's half the people on this estate,
- 17:33but they don't come in here eating my egg and chips.
- 17:36- No, it's alright, I'll pay double next week.
- 17:38- Ah well, that's alright then.
- 17:40That's alright, you can have double egg and chips next week.
- 17:44- How can you have a cash flow problem, Rodney?
- 17:47I thought you had nearly 200 pounds left out of your share.
- 17:51- Yeah, yeah, that's right.
- 17:52But, uh, Mickey's holding the money.
- 17:58Well, he's financial director, see.
- 18:00- Why don't you pop round his house and get some money?
- 18:03- Yeah, yeah, I would but he's out of town at the moment.
- 18:07- Yeah, I thought I hadn't seen him around
- 18:08for about four or five days.
- 18:11- No, no, well, that's cause we're doing
- 18:14this really big deal, you see,
- 18:16and Mickey's gone away to tie up all the loose ends.
- 18:19- Oh, well that explains it then.
- 18:20- Yeah, explains what?
- 18:22- No, it's just that I saw his mum this morning.
- 18:24She said she just got a postcard from him from Benidorm.
- 18:26- Benidorm?
- 18:28- Yeah, he's doing alright.
- 18:29You know, the weather's fine.
- 18:30Food's good, met this Swedish bird called Helga.
- 18:35Oh, would that be the contact that he went to meet?
- 18:38- What?
- 18:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 18:42- Well, I've gotta admire yer bottle Rodders, I must admit.
- 18:47You've been in the business five minutes
- 18:48and already you've opened up a Spanish branch.
- 18:54You've cornered the world market
- 18:55on broken lawn mower engines.
- 18:58What's your partner doing now,
- 18:59is he buying second-hand pedalos?
- 19:02- No, no, no, nothing like that, no.
- 19:04We're going into the self-catering holiday trade.
- 19:08- Cor, what on 200 nicker?
- 19:10- Yeah well, we're starting in a small way.
- 19:12- What you got, a Wendy House?
- 19:21- Grandad, I am not prepared to discuss
- 19:23the situation any longer, alright.

- 19:37- Well, I thought I might go down
- 19:38and have a couple of light ales down the Nag's Head,

- 19:45Coming?
- 19:46- I'm potless, ain't I?
- 19:47- What?

- 20:13- You don't really think I'm that hard do you, Rodney?
- 20:17- Na.

- 21:04- Alright my son, sit down and have yourself a papadum.
- 21:06- Now, listen, I can't get involved.
- 21:07I'm getting the missus a takeaway
- 21:08and I wanna get home tonight.
- 21:09- Come on, you've got time for a drink.
- 21:11Go on, sit down.
- 21:12- Oh cheers.
- 21:12- Listen, I'm glad I bumped into you.
- 21:14I want you to do me a favor.
- 21:15- What's that?
- 21:16- No, sit down, sit down.
- 21:18You know those broken lawn mower engines
- 21:19that dozy twonk Rodney got himself lumbered with?
- 21:22- Yeah, what about 'em?
- 21:23- I want you to buy 'em off him.
- 21:25- You want me to do what?
- 21:26Do me a favor, Del.
- 21:28Alfie Flowers offered me them engines a month ago.
- 21:30I don't want nothing to do with 'em.
- 21:32- It's alright, it's alright.
- 21:33Now listen, you don't have to spend any money.
- 21:36I'll give you the money.
- 21:38There you are, see that, look 200 quid.
- 21:41I want you to offer him that.
- 21:42- 200?
- 21:43Here, they're only worth about a score, scrap value.
- 21:47- I know but I want him to think he's made a good profit.
- 21:50Look, he's had a bad week.
- 21:51He's been tucked up something chronic
- 21:52by that best mate of his and now he's brassic.
- 21:54- Why don't you just give him the money?
- 21:56- Cause it'll seem like charity, won't it, eh?
- 22:00- Yeah and he'd be too proud to accept it?
- 22:02- No, he'd snap it up like a shot.
- 22:05Look, I want him to think that he's been successful.
- 22:10I want him to believe that he's proved me wrong.
- 22:13It's important, Towser.
- 22:16- Alright then Del, if that's what you want.
- 22:18- You're a pal.
- 22:21'Ere don't let him know that I'm behind all this.
- 22:25Look, you say to him that you got this contact
- 22:27in the GLC Parks Department and, uh,
- 22:29they can't get enough lawn mower engines,
- 22:31something like that.
- 22:32You see, the thing is I'm not going to lose out on the deal
- 22:35because come this time tomorrow
- 22:37Rodney'll want to be my partner again
- 22:39and I will get my money back.
- 22:42See?
- 22:43- Hey, wait a minute.
- 22:45What am I going to do with all these engines?
- 22:47- Well, I don't know, dump 'em somewhere.
- 22:48- Oh no, no, I couldn't do that, Del.
- 22:50I mean, I got nicked for fly-dumping a couple of months ago.
- 22:53I mean, they're gonna chuck the book at me this time.
- 22:55- Right, I'll tell you what to do,
- 22:56take 'em back to Alfie Flowers and tell him
- 22:58that he can have 'em for nothing.
- 23:00- Yeah, alright Del.
- 23:02Here, hang about, what's in it for me?
- 23:09- Give you 15 for it.
- 23:11- Oh yeah.
- 23:12- 20.
- 23:14- That'll do.
- 23:15- Thank you.
- 23:16- Anything for a mate.
- 23:20- I wouldn't pay that bill if I were you.
- 23:23-[Waiter] Thank you Del, good morning.
- 23:31- Alright, Rodders?
- 23:32- Yeah.
- 23:36- Here, look I've had a right blinding day.
- 23:37Look at that dough.
- 23:38Er, I must tell ya.
- 23:40There's a really silly bloke down the market today.
- 23:42Think he must have come from the funny farm.
- 23:44He was really silly.
- 23:45I said to him, I said, here do you wanna buy
- 23:47some broken lawn mower engines?
- 23:49Then he said to me, I ain't that silly.
- 23:53- For your information, Derek, this morning I successfully
- 23:57negotiated the sale of them engines to Young Towser.
- 24:01- You're kidding me?
- 24:02- No, on my life, he's bought the lot.
- 24:05He's got a contact in the Parks Department at the GLC.
- 24:08- Cor, well that's a stroke of luck then, innit?
- 24:10- No, no, it's not luck Del.
- 24:12That is good business sense.
- 24:15I knew all the time if I held on long enough
- 24:17I'd get my price.
- 24:18- Yeah, well, I must say I admire your courage, Rodders.
- 24:21- Oh well, he who dares wins.
- 24:26- Yeah, that's right.
- 24:28So well, that Mickey Pearce, he's going to be pleased
- 24:31when he comes back off holiday ain't he, eh?
- 24:32- Now, don't you talk to me about that Mickey Pearce.
- 24:34I've liquidated our partnership.
- 24:37- Oh, so what you gonna do then?
- 24:40I mean still carry on, on your own like?
- 24:44- Well, I was thinking...
- 24:48Oh, you know.
- 24:51- Go back as we was, eh, you and me?
- 24:54- Yeah, you and me Del, eh?
- 24:56And now I've got experience of buying and selling meself.
- 25:00- Yeah, that could be invaluable, Rodders.
- 25:03Yeah, okay then, come on let's pool our resources.
- 25:06There we go.
- 25:07Now then, how much did you get for them lawn mower engines?
- 25:11- 165 pounds.
- 25:17- Is that all you got for 'em, Rodney?
- 25:19- Well, it's not bad Del, cause they're only worth
- 25:21what, a score, scrap value.
- 25:24- You certainly have learnt a lot, ain't you Rodders?
- 25:27Okay, let's see the color of your money.
- 25:29- Oh, I ain't got it.
- 25:31- What d'you mean, Towser didn't pay you?
- 25:33- Oh yeah, he paid me, but I've invested the money.
- 25:36- You did what?
- 25:37- I went down to Alfie Flowers yard,
- 25:38got us another load of lawn mower engines.
- 25:52- You're joking, tell me that you're joking?
- 25:54- No, well if Towser's bloke at the GLC,
- 25:57well, he can't get enough of them engines.
- 25:59Oh, I'll tell you I was dead lucky down at Alfie's.
- 26:02He'd had another load delivered this morning.
- 26:06But don't worry, though, cause they're exactly
- 26:07the same as the others.
- 26:12- You bet your life they're the same.
- 26:16What a 42-carat plonker you really are.
- 26:22- Come on Del, don't you think it's time
- 26:23you showed a bit of faith in me?
- 26:26- Yes, anything you say, Rodney.
- 26:28Anything you say.
- 26:30- Good.
- 26:31Oi, Del, I was wondering now that we're partners again
- 26:34d'you think you could help me out?
- 26:36Eh, cause I ain't had a pint all week.
- 26:40All I've had to eat is Grandad's cooking and look,
- 26:43the sole's coming off me best Gucci, look.
