[To Neville] Look, I'm not accusing you of anything.
Yeah y'are, you all are! I come in here, it's like the Spanish inquisition! It's none of your business!
I think it is, bonny lad.
But if I pinched Oz's watch, how much would that've fetched at the pawn shop?
Ay, it was a canny watch, that, man!
Oh, and I've just pretended to have me money pinched to cover up? Ohh, howay.
Look, just hear me out, will yer? Look, you are the last person in the world to steal anything, right...
But yer have got money troubles.
So?
[To Oz] Shut up! [To Neville] So, if you're desperate enough to get into hock, I'd like to know about it, 'cos I'd like to help.
Well, personally I don't think he's got anything of any personal value...
Oh, he still thinks I took his bloody watch!
Oz, don't be a prick all your bloody life! Take an hour off, will yer?
Look, it's nobody's business but me own! [Frustrated, he sits on his bed.]
Listen, Nev, what Dennis says goes for all of us. I mean, if you're strapped or in a jam or something, we'd like to help you out. I mean, that's the word, innit, lads?
Absolutely. [The lads murmur.] Look, we're all in your corner, kid. [Sits on the bed next to Neville]
What it was...
Look, you don't have to tell...
Naw, let 'im get it off 'is chest, man!
I met this lass, y'see. Nothin' special, but I didn't want to know 'cos I knew what you'd all think.
Who was she, then?
Nobody you'd know. Anyway... I met her, right. And when I seen her yesterday, she gave us this present, er... a bit of jewellery, a keepsake, like. Then this mornin' I gets a letter from Brenda and... it just brought home how short wor are, or... how short she is, and then... so... I pawned the lass's present.
Oh, charming(!)
Leave it out, Oz!
I know it wasn't a very nice thing to do, but like you say I was strapped. I got twenty-five quid for it, and that's nearly what I had pinched. It's one way of lookin' at it, isn'it?
[Happy with Neville's explanation] Right. That's all that sorted out! Let's all go over to the greasy spoon, eh, and drink to this satisfactory conclusion. [To Oz, sarcastically] Eh, good the the morale of our hut? Eh? [The lads make their way out, except Wayne and Neville]
Here, Nev. You gotta get that thing out of hock. Sentimental reasons, innit? Look, I'll loan you the readies, and you pay me back.
Ah no, no.
No, you're all right. How about tomorrow lunch? You on?
Well, I do feel a bit bad about it. But... I couldn't give it to Brenda! Where would she think I got the money from?
Later. I mean a birthday or something. Coming, then?
Yeah. Cheers, mate.
All right! Coming down the pub?
[Getting up] You would've liked her, Wayne.
