" What's that?" " My brother." "I've got to go." " I've got loads." "Wait." " It's your turn to set the table." " Loads of what?" " Money." "Just wait there." " Who's that?" " A poor person." "You said there weren't any." " I know." "But who is he?" " I don't know." "Just someone." "What do you mean, "someone"?" "Did he do anything to you?" "What sort of things?" "Never mind."

"Nothing, nothing." "Leave it to me." " Where is he, then?" " He was here a minute ago." "See?" "Loads of money." "We've been saving it up for ages." "You can have it if you need it." "Come on, Damian." "You'll have to change it quickly." "Do you think that was enough?" "More than enough." "That's him completely sorted out." "Right." "Have you given money to anyone else?" "Not really." "What?" "It wasn't that much." "Just, like, a bagful." " What's that?" " Scuba Scooter." "Goes at ten mile an hour for up to five hours." "We could have one of them."

" Well, it's for feeding babies." " Did Mum have one?" " Two." "They've all got two." " And did she feed us with them?" "Yeah, of course she did." "I remember." "You can't remember when you were a baby." "I don't remember her doing it to me." "I remember her doing it to you." "Anthony." " What?" " I thought you'd done the washing up." " I did it." " Do you call that ajob?" " What's your name?" " Keegan." "All right, K. What's happened to your finger?" "That's quality." "Pure scary." "Pure scary." "Hey, give me your money." "Come on." "Empty your pockets." "Hey, you." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Give me all your money." "Come on." "Every copper." "Who feels sorry for poor children?" "Correct answer." "Everybody sitting up nicely?" "OK." "So, as you know, we're going to have new money in the New Year." "Does anybody know how much a euro is worth in pounds?" " Yes." " 67p." "Spot on." "Here, it's a little prize for you." "It's your own euro converter." "Now, who else wants one?" "Anybody?" "Everybody." "OK." "So, who can tell me how much two pence is worth in euros?" "Well, I'll tell you." "It's worth not very much." "Almost nothing." "To you." "But if we all put our two pences together, then we'll have a lot of two pences, won't we?" "Yes." "How many people are there here?" "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven," " eight..." " 250." " Sorry?" " There's 250 in the school." "Clever-clogs headmaster." "OK, 250." "So if you each gave me two pence, then I'd have five pounds." "It's not that much here, but in Ethiopia, five pounds could feed a family for a week." "And if you all gave me two two pences, then we'd have a tenner, and that's enough to provide that village with a source of clean water forever." "It's no good to you, so chuck it in the bin." "Excuse me." "Give me all your money." "Come on." "Every copper." "Get out my way." "Hey, you." "Hey, give me your money." "Come on." "Empty your pockets." " Hello." "What's your name?" " Damian." " Hi, Damian." "I'm the bin." " Hello, Bin." "Damian, you'll give me some money, won't you?" "Yeah." "What did you do?" "You did it again, didn't you?" " What?" " I saw what you did." "How much?" "Not much." "She's nice." "I've been thinking." "Why don't we give the money to her?" " So, how did it go?" " Well." "A thousand?" "What did you bring a thousand to school for?" "Can't you see it's suspicious?" "It's not suspicious." "It's unusual." "How can it be suspicious?" "It's our money." " You lot, outside." " That's enough messing around." " In Africa you can build a well for £100." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Just listen." "It was the most daring, most brilliant, cleverest and biggest robbery on record, ever." "The train was here." "The train, the one with the money, used notes." "Right, the van comes in onto the platform here." "It's a railway van so no one takes any notice, until..." "They jump out of this van, and someone got hold of the driver." "Some of them start shifting the money." "By this time, rapid response has been mobilised." "Come on, let's go." "Everybody in." "The van drives off with a reckless disregard for life." "Rapid response goes after it." "There's armed units, dog handlers, helicopters." "They throw everything at them." "The train stays here." "An ambulance takes the driver to hospital." "They get another driver." "CID count the bags." "There's only one missing." "Then, rapid response corner the van." "This is it." "Trapped, the robbers drop the lot, and they leg it." " They've got no chance, except..." " We're Geordies." "Newcastle united versus Arsenal at Highbury." "One-all." "Disappointing result for the Gunners." "Please advise car." "I think we've lost them." "They don't catch the men, but that's all right." "Cos when they get back to the van, there's the missing bag." " How do you know all that?" " His uncle works for the police." "The van is gone, the train is in the station, and the cops are in the cop shop making tea." "Where are the robbers?" "Where's the last place you're gonna look?" " Our house." " Maybe." "So the train moves off with the new driver, and all the money." "On the train." "The money was on the train, and so was the robber." "Lateral thinking." "The money stays on the train, and so does the robber." "He sits tight." "Every time the train comes to a slow bend, he chucks a sack of money out." "They've got people waiting all over the country." "It could be Stafford or Crewe." "It could be Preston or Wigan." "Runcorn, it could be." "Or it could be here." "Damian." "Damian, calm down." "It'll be all right." "No one knows it was us." "I don't care." "Leave me alone." "What did you have to tell me for?" " Because I wanted you to know the truth." " We have to give it back." "No." "No, we can't do that." "They were gonna burn it." "Now, come on." "It isn't the money's fault it got stolen." " I thought it was from God." " What?" "Like, sometimes you tell people about Mam, and they give you money or sweets." "Well, I told God and..." "Well, who else would have that kind of money?" " Well, in a funny..." " God doesn't rob banks, all right?" "God does not rob banks." "Office." "Now." "Your father's on his way." "Come in." "The Mormons?" "You stole money from Mormons?" "Would you like to tell us why you did it, Anthony?" "Our mam's dead." "Hey, hey." "Hey, Anthony." "Come here." "Anthony, Damian, come here." "OK." "Team talk." "Your mother." "She would not want you to stand around crying, or to steal things." "She wants you to get on with your lives, and do the best you can." "Make her proud, son, eh?" "And not, you know, cry." "OK." "So let's stop crying, eh?" "And stealing things." "Let's stop that, too." "Get in the car." "Don't ever do that to me again." "Look, I'm really sorry." "It was me." "I didn't mean to cause any trouble or anything." "No, you did right." "They stole it." "What could you do?" "They did give it to a good cause." "I wouldn't have done that at their age." "They must be..." "You did a good job." "Thanks." " Are you from the social?" " No." "I'm a visitor." "I go round schools collecting for this water thing." "Telling them about the changeover." "Making sure the kids understand it." "Does anyone understand it?" "Sometimes they're a bit confused, until I talk to them." "And then..." "They're really confused." "I'm sorry." "They're very sorry." "I've sent them to bed." "I want you to know that it won't happen again." "Do you mind me asking how you had so much cash in the house?" "It was a donation." "It was left here anonymously." " And you weren't suspicious about that?" " No." "We pray a lot and we thought it was the answer to our prayers." "Only, it has been mentioned that you spent close to £5,000 in Comet a few days ago." "Digital television, microwave oven, dishwasher, foot spa." "Did you actually pray for all of these things?" "We were praying for comfort and encouragement." "I think we felt comforted and encouraged." "By the foot spa?" "And the dishwasher." "Samaritans." "Oxfam." "Christian Aid." "For Christ's sake, don't tick them little boxes." "The ones about putting you in touch with other organisations." "You'll be besieged, man." " Saint Peter?" "Died AD 64." " All right, don't remind us." "The money." "It's robbed." "I know." "Patron saint of keys, locks, and general security, man." "Including up there." "I'm on the door." "Is it still all right?" "If it's robbed?" "Can you still do good with it?" "Or should you give it back?" "I thought it was a miracle, but it's just robbed." "Damian, listen." "One day, I was with you know who" " Jesus - and he went up into the mountains, and thousands of people followed him." "The police said five thousand." "Five thousand." "Everybody knows this story." "Loaves and fishes." "See, I knew you'd say that." "That's what everybody says." " Is this yours?" " It's the key to the old house." "Jointed pin tumbler." "Engineering perfection." "Anyway, this kid comes up to us." "About your size." "His name was..." "No, I've forgotten." "I still see him, sometimes." "Anyway, he comes up with these loaves and fishes." "Sardines." "And Jesus blesses them, and passes the plate round." "Now, the first person he passes it to passes it on." "He doesn't take anything, he just passes it on." "Do you know why?" "Cos he had a piece of lamb hidden in his pocket." "And as he's passing the fish, he sneaks a bit of meat out, and pretends he's taking it off the plate." "Do you see what I'm saying?" "Then the next person - exactly the same story." "Every single bastard one of them has their own food." "And every one of them's keeping it quiet, looking after number one." "But as that plate went round with the sardines on, they all got their own food out, and started to share." "That plate went all the way round and back to Jesus, and it's still got the fish and the loaves on it." "Mind, Jesus was a bit taken aback." "He says, "What happened?" And I just said, "Miracle. "" "And at first, I thought I'd fooled him." "But now I see it was a miracle." "One of his best." "But this little kid had stood up, and everybody there just got bigger." "Do you understand what I'm talking about?" "Not really." " I'm talking about you." " Now I'm really lost." "You're trying too hard." "That kid, he wasn't planning on doing a miracle." "He wasn't planning anything, except lunch." "Something that looks like a miracle turns out to be dead simple." "But what am I gonna do with all this?" "I just want to be good." "Look, I can't say too much about this because of that whole "free will" thing." "Right?" "But..." "See this key?" "Keep it safe." "All right?" "And I'll have a word upstairs." "See if I can get somebody on your case, more permanent." "With three days left to E day, my true love said to me:" " Convert your change or donate to charity." " Marvellous." "Three days left to E day." "The money in your bank account has already been converted." "The easiest way to change any cash you have is to pay it into your account." "Sterling becomes euros the moment it's paid in." "If you don't have an account, why not open one today?" " Can I help?" " We'd like to open a bank account." " Is your mum and dad with you?" " No." "I need an adult signature." "Proof of who you are." "We thought of that." "Leisure pass." "You're gonna have to ask your mum to come in." "This isn't enough." "Ask your mum to come in." " We can't." " Why not?" "Our mam's dead." "There's two free euros in here." "And you can keep the rest of your money in it." "It's the best I can do." "I told you we should have bought a house." "Right." "If we can't hide it, at least we can spend it." " Hello?" " That is quality." "That is amazing." " I can see you." "Can you see me?" " Yeah." " Not here." "On there." " That as well." "I can see you in mine." "This is fantastic." "Why don't we give the money to the lady with the bin?" "It's not ours, and we're never going to spend it all." "She could do good with it." "We gave her a grand, and look at the trouble it caused." "And if we gave her 200, we'll end up in jail." "We're on our own now, Damian." "Don't let me down." "Hello." "The speaker went on my bin." "Your dad said he'd fix it so I said I'd cook for him." "So you get a decent meal for once." "I'm a fantastic cook." "Aren't I a fantastic cook, Damian?" "The size of that school bag." "You'll give yourselves a hernia." "Is that homework?" " No." " Yeah." "Costumes." "For the nativity play." "I suppose it is homework, really." "I love a nativity play." "Can I see them?" " Yeah." " No." "It's private." "Private property." "Of the school." " It'll spoil the surprise." " Am I gonna go, too?" " Are you gonna get me some tickets?" " I suppose so." "I didn't know they were in it." "I get told nothing, you know." "Nothing." " Are you gonna do some chopping?" " It's lasagne." "Your favourite." "Where was the highwayman, Dick Turpin, hanged in 1739?" " York." " How did you know that?" " It's York." " Glasgow, Carlisle..." "He knows everything, your dad." "Why don't you go on?" "You'd be great." " He'd be great." " Fifty-fifty." " It's York." " You'd be less frustrated if you went on." "Tell him to go on." "You'd like a million pounds, wouldn't you?" "It's not a million pounds." "It's a million euros." "That's only about £623,100 at today's prices." " Somebody's been listening." " You've lost 93..." " Told you it was York." " Jim, I'm so sorry." "The answer is York." "We're supposed to go to bed when this is finished." "Yeah, all right." "Go to bed." "You're supposed to read us a story." " I'll get off." " I'll see you out." "I'll see you out, too." " Come again soon." " Sucker for women." "Sucker for men." " Don't forget, I want to see that nativity play." " Go and get your pyjamas on." "They're good lads." "Nice to have someone to talk to once in a while, though." "Yeah." "Thanks." "I had a great evening." "I know what she's after." "We can't leave it here." "We're gonna have to keep it with us." "All the time." "Fill your school bag." "Don't let it out your sight." "Guard it with your life, whatever happens." " OK?" " OK." "Damian." "Have you any room?" " Have you any room?" " No, Damian." "Damian." "He's tired." "He's walked here all the way from Nazareth." " He's very, very tired." " Well..." " Tired." " People walked from Nazareth all the time." "And he was a carpenter so he was very fit." "He wasn't tired, he was excited." "His wife was gonna have a baby." " They weren't expecting to go to sleep." " OK." "You say excited, I say tired." "Let's try "nervous"." "OK?" "Shall we start again?" "Joseph the Worker, first century, dates uncertain?" "I wouldn't have said nervous." "I would have said focused." "Well, have you any room?" " What did he want to bring her for?" " You invited her." "Beginners." "Beginner's positions." "Damian, come on." "The word went out from Julius Caesar..." "Caesar..." "Caesar Augustus that everybody had to go to their home town to be taxed." "So Mary and Joseph set out for Bethlehem." "Do you know how much a piece of gold that big would be worth at today's prices?" "A lot." "An awful lot." "I wonder what happened to it." "He was poor after that." "I wonder what he spent it on." "Can we please lose the anachronistic bag?" "I don't think they had Adidas in the first century." "Far away, to the East, three wise men saw a star." " Thanks, girls." " Look, a star." "Let's follow it." " No, Saint Maureen." " I don't think I've heard of her." "Is she a virgin martyr?" "I don't think so." "Here he is." "And he's always got those bags with him." "Do you remember me?" "I'm the poor man." "Damian, what are you doing there?" "Come on." "Where should you be?" "You should be in Bethlehem." "Come on." "I can't believe you got..." "No, go back." "Go back." "As for these." "What have I told you about these?" "I told you before..." "Back, back, back." "Back on." "They tried first at one inn." " Do you have any room at this inn?" " No, sorry." "We're fully booked." " Do you have any room at this inn?" " We haven't any room, but we've got a stable." "So he took them to the stable." "This is nice and cosy, Joseph." "This is nice and cosy, Joseph." "I said, this is nice and cosy, Joseph." "Damian." "Damian." "Yes." "This is where our Lord, baby Jesus, will be born." "And so our saviour came, bringing peace to all the Earth." "Quick." "Come on." "You stay there." "Oh, no." "The keys." "Oh, no." " Damian." "What are you doing?" " Dad." "Come here." "Oh, God." "Come here." "Come here." "It's all right." "Let's get you down." "What were you doing?" " Is he all right, Dad?" " There we go." "Good lad." " Well, he found it." " It fell out of the sky." "Right in front of me." "I thought it was from God." "From God?" "It's not really his thing, is it?" "Handing out cash." "Why would God hand out... £229,320." " Blimey." " I was gonna give it to the poor, but it was really hard." " Why didn't you tell me?" " Anthony said not to because of the tax." "We could keep some of it." "Like a reward." "Get in." " So what are we gonna do with it, then?" " We're gonna hand it in." "All of it." "What else can we do?" "It's not ours, is it?" "Hello." "I called round." "The door was open." "I've called the police." "I thought you might have come home." "Everyone gets burgled at Christmas, Dad." "This will be your crime number so you can get onto your insurance company." "They can't really recompense you." "They can't give you your Christmas back, can they?" "Probably be next Christmas by the time you get anything back." "I don't suppose you've got any serial numbers, security codes, anything like that?" "No?" "Wouldn't make any difference." "It's very rare we get anything back." "Very rare." "The stolen currency is around here somewhere." "That's what all this is about." "They can't do anything." "All the banks have been warned to look out for anyone making any large deposits." "And, of course, it's only one day or two before they realise that the money is worthless." " What's that?" " It's nothing, it's nothing." "It's just my stuff." "Dad, don't." "My God." "This is what they were after." "That's a lot of money." "Where did it come from?" "They took our Christmas." "We'll take their cash." " You can't keep it." " You're gonna keep it?" " It's the government's." " They were going to burn it." "That's a crime, if you ask me." " Definitely." " But stealing's wrong." "You have to steal from somebody." "Who would we be stealing it from?" " It's not right." " Damian, my house has just been ransacked." "I work every second God sends just to cover the mortgage to give you a decent home." "And now it's been wrecked." "I am owed this." " But..." " Go to bed." "Now." " Do you want a story?" " It's wrong." " Who says?" " God." "Yeah, well." ""Yeah, well" what?" " Don't you want to go to heaven?" " Look around you." "We're on our own." "No one is smiling down on us, Damian." "No one is looking out for us." "So we're looking out for ourselves." " But Mam..." " Is dead." "She's dead, Damian." "You'll never see her again." "And neither will I." "And the money is ours." "We'll take it to town tomorrow and change it, and spend it." "Do you hear me?" "All of it." "Because it's ours." "I know you've got it." "It's mine." "And you're going to change it tomorrow." "That's a good thing." "OK." "When you come back," "I'm going to call you on this phone." "Open the front door, and let me in." "Then we'll take the money." "And you won't have to worry about it any more." "understand?" "You make sure your phone's switched on." "You take one side, we take the other, then swap." "Change what you can." "What you can't change, spend." "Have a ball." "You do realise you just kissed goodbye to the money?" " Come on, let's get cracking." " She's gonna run off with it." " How can she?" "She's got Damian." " She'll hold him to ransom for the rest of it." "No, Anthony, that's what you'd do." "Come on." "OK." "You wait here, all right?" "It's mine." " We'll have to change more than this." " No." "That's the whole point." "Do it in small amounts, and no one will be suspicious." "We'll be lucky to get round three banks, at this rate." " You'll be lucky to stay out ofjail." "Go on." " What?" " It's quite a lot in the circumstances." " It's 5,000 quid." "It's the front half of a FordFiesta." "Is this a bank or a sweet shop?" " What?" " I need a wee." " Tell her that." "Can I use your loo?" " I'm not sure..." "I'm not queuing up again." "Poor kid's been here half an hour." "You must have a loo." "What do you do when you need to go?" "OK." "Just this once." " You'll have to go here." " I don't really need one." "You little belter." " I just can't see why it's so difficult." " I need a wee." "It's the front half of a FordFiesta, as far as..." "I need a wee." "I need a wee." "Today's the day that Britain enters the new currency era." "You must spend or bank any remaining old money today." "It's now or never. use it or lose it." "At midnight tonight, it's euros only for British businesses." "Well, if you say so." "Business..." "Businesses..." "Now, what was your name?" "Dad." "I've got an idea." " What?" " Dollars." "Change it into dollars now, then into euros whenever." "Actually, once all the excitement's over, the euro will most likely drop in value." "We'll probably get a better exchange rate this way, too." "What?" "Where did I get you?" "They've got a bank in there." "It stays open late." " You know everything, you do, don't you?" " Yeah." "What's wrong?" "How did you know about the bank?" "Is this where your mum worked?" "In here?" "Stay there." "I'll come straight back for you." "I'll do this one, OK?" "Don't look." "This is where your mum used to work." "Nice." "Best get a move on." "Go on." "Damian, what are you doing?" "Hey, what's up?" "Did you think I'd run off and left you?" "Did you?" " Well, I didn't, did I?" " No, you didn't." " The bank's upstairs." " It's closed." "And I've had a much better idea." "Come on." "Let's go and stuff our faces." "I could have had me eye out." "Where are the glasses?" " Damian wants to give his to the poor." " Do you?" "They won't be poor once you've given it to them." "What'll you do then?" "Take it back?" "Speaking of which..." "Right, mystery activity." "Champagne." "Follow me." "A woman opens the door in her nightie." "Funny place to keep a door." " This is your fault, this." " What is?" "You don't even know." "You brought her, and you don't even know." " What?" " Can you hear 'em laughing?" "Even he's laughing." "Listen." "Very good." "Once she's got what she came for, she'll piss off." "Then he won't be laughing." "It'll all start again, like when Mam died." "Maybe she..." "She won't..." "She'll stay." "Great." "Much better." "Is that what you want?" "Her in there with him, instead of Mam?" " Why are you angry with me?" " Because you did it." "You and your weird stuff." "Chucking money away." "Talking to yourself." "Seeing things." "I don't." "I mean, maybe I do, but..." "And me, sticking up for you." "For what?" "The truth is, you're a loony." "Don't say that." "Please don't say that." "You're just a loony, and you should be locked up." "Be at the front door with the money in ten minutes." "Damian." "We were..." "I was just..." "Dad, don't answer it." "Dad, don't." " What is going on?" " Please." "See these little girls?" "My girls." "The girls that Santa Claus forgot." "You're our last hope." "We haven't got our bus fare home." " No point going back if you don't help." " Just..." " Who is it?" " Excuse me." "Hedgehogs like these need your help." "50 per cent of families with a chronically ill child break up." "You may be asking yourself, "Why does Waterloo station need friends?"" " Let me explain." " It's the middle of the night." "This is a private house." "Who are you?" "Will you get out, please?" "Do you mind just leaving?" "Go." " You and your hedgehogs, out." " Two euros a month." " I mean, it's absolutely nothing." " Would you start up a direct debit?" "Just shut up, will you?" "Damian." "Damian?" "This is the same donkey after a few months in our sanctuary." " I think you'll agree..." " All right, love." "Put him down." "Shall we?" "You'd better tell me how this started." "I've no idea." "Someone must have said something strange." " Digital?" " Yeah, that's right." "Yeah." " How do you find it?" "I'm yet to be convinced." " Have a look when you get rid of that lot." "One step at a time, eh?" "Any chance of a bit of toast?" "You do that, I'll have a look around." "Evening, lad." "You." " Where is he?" " Don't know." " Where is he?" " upstairs." "Peaceful, isn't it?" "Who are you?" "Who am I?" " Who are you?" " We're the police." "I know you're only a dream, but I don't care." "It's nice to see you, even if you're just a dream." "The money just makes everything worse." "I've got something for you." "From Reader's Digest." "Here." "You may have already won £10,000." "Please will you talk to me?" "Five minutes." "OK?" "Now, don't interrupt." "I'm dead." "I know what I'm talking about, OK?" "You need to use conditioner on your hair." "Your dad won't think of that, but it makes all the difference." "Me." "You are not to worry about me." "You have been worrying about me, haven't you?" "I'm fine." "Anthony." "He seems to have taken it better than you, but he hasn't." "He's got a good heart, he just doesn't know where it is." "Damian." "He's going to need you." "Be good to him." "Dad doesn't believe." " Doesn't believe what?" " Any of it." "Anything." "He mustn't do, or he wouldn't..." "Couldn't you talk to him?" " He can't see me." " Is it because of the money?" "In a way." "The money makes it harder to see what's what." "You know that already." "You never win with those things." "You just end up with books about the building of the American railways." "It's her, isn't it?" "Your dad and her." "Damian..." "You know how complicated the money was?" "Well, people are even more complicated." "Remember that there's nearly always enough good around to be going on with." "You've just got to have a bit of faith, you know." "If you've got faith in people, that makes them stronger." "And you - you've got enough to sort all three of you out." "Hey." "That's why I'm counting on you." "I haven't really been worried about you." "I've just been missing you." "That's allowed." "Are you really a saint?" "Well, the criteria's very strict." "It's not just a case of doing good, and all that." " You do have to do an actual miracle." " So..." "I'm in there." "Course I am." "What was your miracle?" "Don't you know?" "It was you." "Hey." "Aren't you gonna say goodbye?" "Bye." "Did you see her?" " What did she say?" " She said to tell you not to worry." "It's all gonna be all right." "She's looking out for you." "Come on." "Well." "It was fun while it lasted, eh?" "Look, there's no easy way to say this, but I put a bit to one side, for me." "To spend." "You can have it back." "Dorothy. 6,310 euros." "All for the best, eh?" "Dollars." "It's just a few grand." " Dad." " Ten, really." "11,400 dollars." "I was going to tell you." "I sort of kept them by mistake." "Anthony." "I just enjoyed having a wedge." "It wasn't really the money." "I just liked having it." "4,780 euros." "Dorothy wanted a holiday of a lifetime." "Dad wanted to pay off all his credit cards." "Anthony wanted one Gameboy Advance SP, one Playstation 3, a Shogun new BMX bike, a Racoon 500 super quad bike, a Nimbus 2000 electromagnetic stair rider, a table-top candyfloss maker, an iPod, obviously, an iBOT, obviously," "and a stamp-on-it hydraulic rocket, capable of attaining altitudes of over 100 metres." "Three..." "Two..." "One." "That's how Anthony would want this story to end - with big piles of stuff." "But it's not his story." "It's mine." "This is where I want it to end."
