[The lads finally arrive at the site. The Cockney, Wayne, is already hard at work and watches them as they arrive. The lads meet their boss, Herr Grunwald, at the site entrance...]
Herr Grunwald?
Ja?
Reporting for work, sir. [Hands papers to Grunwald] Patterson, Osbourne and Hope. Er, Herr Pfister signed us on - two brickies and a chippie. [Neville motions to Dennis] Er, unless you want another brickie.
Why?
Er, well we know one if you do.
Nein. [Dennis looks at Neville as if to say "I tried"] It is not good, I think, to arrive so late.
Yes, well sorry, sir. We had a bit of bother on the roads. [Glares at Oz] Look, can we just check in the hostel and we'll get back here smartish, eh?
The hostel is full. You will have to stay on the compound. [The lads look into the site]
I thought we'd be in the hostel.
First served, first come. Put your things in your hut. [Walks away]
'Hut'? What's he talkin' about, 'hut'?
It's pro tem, man. Pro tem. Howay.
[They grab their belongings and head inside the site...]
[To Dennis] You said we'd be in a hostel with table tennis and baths.
Aye, well we would've been, wouldn't we, if we'd've been on time! [Oz doesn't respond.]
...Where are we?
Stalag 17 by the look of things.
Eeh, is there anywhere to go round here?
I don't know, Neville, you've seen as much of this place as I have.
Aye, but you've been here before.
Not to this site, I haven't. Neville, I can't choose the site! I'm a bricklayer, I'm not a bloody architect! [Spots a builder walking in their direction] Oi! [The builder approaches, he's significantly taller and more well built than the other three] Er, excuse me, d'yer speak English?
[In a Bristolian accent] 'Tis my mother tongue, my dear. Spoke it all my life. The name's Bomber.
Which is the best hut, Bomber?
Oh, I'd take that one. [Glances over to his left] The other one's got all the Turks in. We calls it the Casbah. [Walks off.]
