"Show you around the place." "If you like." "I'm not fussed." "You're on two percent-- two-and-a-half." "Maybe even three." "Depends on the usual bumflufferies." "But it's not about the money with you and me, is it, Gal?" "It's the charge, it's the bolt, it's the buzz." "It's the sheer "fuck-offness" of it all." "Am I right?" "She's all right, Jackie, isn't she?" "Yeah, she's great." "Great laugh." "Big tits." "Yeah, she's a lovely girl." "Listen, Gal, I missed my plane." "I'm staying the night."

"You really are demonstrating some whopping great ego, my friend!" "I'd keep that in check if I were you!" "'Cause that sort of big-headedness can be a right turnoff!" "If you don't want to do the job, fair enough!" "I can accept that!" "We'll leave it at that." "Considering what I know about you and the outrageousness of what's inside of your head, whatever stinking thoughts you're having, which I don't want to know 'cause they're so disgusting!" "Fucking hell!" "Fucking hell!" "I would like to leave now, this minute, please." "Get me a taxi." "Sir, I'm afraid you can't smoke." "What?" "What do you want?" "Your cigarette."

"And then his mate, the other one who was giving lessons on what we do if we land in the sea, how to wear your lifejacket, et cetera, he starts looking at me all funny, suggestive." "Now, I don't know whether they wanted me for a two's-up or something, but it scared me." "I was shaking like a leaf." "So, without thinking, I lit up a cigarette to calm me nerves." "I was trembling'." "I was very emotional." "That's when all the rest of it happened." "It's very regrettable." "Now, I don't want to kick up a fuss." "Right?" "Press charges, contact the British embassy." "I'd rather not pursue those channels." "It's not my style." "I'm not that sort ofa bloke." "I wouldn't want to lose the man his job." "A man's got to eat." "And I'm sure he's not representative of all you Spanish people." "But I would appreciate it if you'd have a word with him, let him know he's been rumbled." "He's the one with the ginger hair." "What do you think he's saying" ""gal told me, go fuck meself"?" "Gal come on." "How long you gonna be?" "Two seconds." "I'm combing me hair." " He'd look a right cunt." " That's what he is." "That's not what I'm saying." "I'm saying he has to save face." "Protect himself, his image, his ego, his big head." "No, I'll tell you what's happening." "He's gone back and he's said," ""I've decided not to go with Gal." "He's far too fat." "He looks fuckin' terrible." "Michelin man. "" "Fuck off."

"What fucking happened?" "I'll tell you what fucking happened." "You tell me, Gal." "You tell me what fucking happened." "Give me a fucking knock-back, you fat fucking cunt." " Problem with the plane, Don?" " What's that?" "What did you fucking say, cunt?" "What?" "Problem?" "Fucking problem?" "No, mate, no." "No fucking problem with the plane, cunt." "The fucking plane was fine." "Fucking plane was allright." "Fucking plane was perfect." "It's you!" "You're the fucking problem, you fucking Dr. White honking jam rag, fucking spunk bubble."

"Not that I care." "I'm not into her anymore." "That's your fault, fucking me about." "Is your middle name ungrateful?" "Ain't you got nothing to say?" "Just gonna stand there like Porky Pig, hiding behind your wife's skirt?" "Your ex-porn star wife's skirt!" "I don't give two fucks what Jackie Big Tits thinks about me coming back." "I've got enough information on her." "So what if she's got a pretty face?" "That can all change!" "Age changes that." "I'm looking forward to seeing her when she's 70." "See if she's still coming the cunt with a face like a wrinkled prune." "Can't fucking wait!" "Aitch will be well gone by then!" "I'm gonna kill you, Gal." "I'm gonna fucking kill him." "What, you point a gun at me?" "You point a gun at me?" "You gonna shoot me, are ya?" "Gonna shoot me?" "Go on then, shoot me." "It's all right." "Shoot me." "I'lI have that." "There you go." " Cheers." " Goodluck." "You're at the Grosvenor." "Your name's Roundtree." "Like Smarties." "Like Shaft." "If they give you a pull, you're just here to see friends, family that sort of thing." "Somebody'll call you, pick you up." "Probably Mike." "Gal you got a minute?" "Stan." " Hello, Ted." " How did he seem, Gal?" "How did he come across?" " Who?" " Don." "Don?" "He was all right." "He was Don, wasn't he?" "Why?" "Just trying to trace back." "He was due back on Wednesday." "No, he stayed with me Wednesday." "He left Thursday." " Yesterday?" " Yeah." "That's what I mean." " You take him to the airport?" " No." " You didn't?" " No, he got a cab." "Why?" " So you didn't see him get on the plane?" " Well, no, not personally." " But I know he got on the plane." " How?" "Because he called me from Heathrow." " He called you?" " Yeah, he called me." "What's happening?" " Why'd he call you?" " I don't know." "He just said he landed safely." "I thought it was a bit funny meself." "Sorry about this, Gal." "It's just Don's gone AWOL." " Oh." " You finished with Gal, Ted?" " Yeah." " You can go back, Gal." " We'll be through in a minute to talk you through it all." " Good to see you." "That's a boy." "Get us some tea." "Just taking it step by step." "What else can I do?" "Just one more day, darling." "If you look at it like that, that's all it is--just one more day." "Dee?" "Dee?" "I love you like a rose loves rainwater, like a leopard loves his partner in the jungle, like" "I don't know what like." "I love you." "I love you." "I love you." "I know you know." "I know." "I know that." "I know you love me, because I feel strong." "I have to go." "I gotta get back." "I'm gonna hang up now." "I just want you to do one thing for me, just one." "Just say my name for me." "Just once." "Gal." "This phone call he made from Heathrow-- tell me what he said again." "Who, Don?" "I told you." "Tell me again." " Just that he got back safe." " No." "He didn't do that." " How do you mean?" " I mean he didn't do it." "Yeah, he did." "No, he didn't." "He didn't phone you from Heathrow." "I'm the one who got the call." "If you know something different, then tell me." "I don't know, Ted." "I don't know what you're trying to get at here." "Don came to see me, offered me a job." "I said, "Yes, please." Then he goes." "Next thing, he phones me from Heathrow, says, "See you Friday night. "" " That's how he left it." " But he didn't phone you from Heathrow." "All right, he didn't fucking phone me from Heathrow, but he phoned me." "I'm not lying, Ted." "Okay." "All right." "Good luck tonight." "Cheers." "Help me!" "See you around." "You see, Gal where there's a will-- and there is a fucking will" "There's a way." "And there is a fucking way." "There's always a fucking way." " How's it going, Gal?" " Well, we're in there, Stan." "But it ain't getting any easier." "It's just so fucking awkward." " What time is it?" " Ten of 12:00." " How long are we looking at?" " At least another three hours, maybe four." "No, fuck that." "Two, two and a half." "I've got it already!" "Help me, Gal!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "God' help me!" "You've fucked hundreds!" "Fucked hundreds!" " She's fucking" " You bastard!" "Jackie!" "I love you." "Aitch!" "Help me, you cunt!" "Aitch, get the fucking gun!" "Fat, fat fuck!" "Cunt!" "Cunt!" "Murdering twat!" "Bollock!" "I'm gonna fuckin' kill you." "Fuckin' jokers." "I fucked Jackie." "Fucked her." "Ask her." "She'll tell you." "I fucked her." "Yeah, well," "I've fucked you now, haven't I?" "Right, Malky, get the lead out!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "Everyone all right?" " Oh!" "Oh!" " Let's go!" "Wheel 'em out!" "Go on." "Give it your best shot." "Aaah!" " Oh, don't give me that." " Hey, hey, hey!" "Stop that!" "Come on!" "Hey, somethin, for Teddy!" "Gentlemen, you're all cunts." "Are you tired?" "No, I'm all right, actually, Ted." "Listen, you're a fuckin' millionaire now, ain't ya?" "I was just gonna say" "Gal, no, no, no, no." "You, uh" "Go on." "What?" "Congratulations." "I mean, it went like a fucking dream." "Congratulations all around." "What's the matter?" "You do not look happy." "Who, me?" "No, I'm happy, all right." "I'm well happy." "We're all happy, mate." "What's with the bag?" "You, uh-- You shooting off?" "Who, me?" "No-- Well' yeah." " I got a plane to catch." " Have you?" "I'll give you a lift." " No, it's all right, Teddy." " Come on." "See you later, Stan." "I've just gotta stop off a minute along the way." "Is that all right?" "Yeah." "Ofcourse." "Come with me." "Who is it?" "It's Teddy." "What do you want?" "It's ten past 5:00." "I know, I'm sorry." "I need your help, Harry." "Something's happened." "What is it?" "Come in, Gal" "What are you doing?" "I need a drink for my friend here." "Can you fix him one?" "So, what are you having, Gal?" "Um, I'lI have a whiskey, please." "Cheers." "No, I'm all right." "Where's Don, Gal?" "He never left Spain." "I know that." "He never got on a plane." "Well, he did." "Then he got off again." "And there's no record of him getting another flight." "I can only assume... he's still in Spain." "I'm not into this anymore, Ted." "Spain, eh?" "Yeah." "I must drop in sometime." "Pay my respects." " How much did he say you were on for this, Gal?" " He wasn't that specific." "Well, I'm gonna give you a tenner." "I've only got 20s." "Have you got change?" "You see, if I cared, Gal, if I fucking cared, if I gave a solitary fuck about Don" "Get out ofthe fucking car." "Look, with this pill you take it and that's it." "Your hair don't grow." "You don't go bald." "It stays the same." "You have your hair cut once, in whatever style you want, and it stays like that for the rest of your natural life." "It's completely revolutionary." "And uh, what if you get fed up with your style,you berk?" "Oh, well, at's where the antidote comes in." "Smart-ass." "The whole process is reversible." "You just take a different pill." "Now, I'm not saying this is gonna happen in the next couple ofyears, but it will happen." "Oh, it's definitely coming." "Hairdressers are shitting' themselves." "Will you please shut up?" "Look, they did a test with three monkeys, right?" "Gave them all a Beatle-style haircut." "Now, they've been living with that cut for the past two years." "And apparently, they're very happy with it." "I can't listen to this." "Are you hungry, love?" "Shall I fix you a sandwich?" "Oh, yeah." "That would be lovely." "Told you, you'd do the job." "Yeah, well, you were right, Don." "Technically speaking, you were right." "But you're dead." "So shut up." "Corrected and edited by Konrad (Imperator2002) kraj1@netzero.net"
