It ain't much of a story, as it happens. There's this German girl, she lives in Heinsburg, near Munich. We got engaged at Christmas. I was gonna stay in Germany. If I couldn't get a job, go back to the UK. Then last week, she breaks it off, just like that.
That's tough.
It happens though, don't it?
And there's, erm, no possibility of a reconciliation, I suppose?
It's finished.
Well, you should've told us this yesterday, an' then you wouldn't have had to kip in a field.
[Hesitates] ...Yeah ...Well, thanks for the meal, and everything. Much obliged. [Starts to get up, but is stopped by Bomber]
Where are you headed, then?
...South. I'm going south. Erm... Geneva. I thought I might get a job there as a waiter or something like that.
Hey, he can come back with us.
Why not?
Right!
You'll have to shovel.
No. ...No, I couldn't do your blokes' sort of work.
Aye, aye. You can shovel, be a labourer.
...Could I?
Ah, of course you could. Couldn't he, Den?
Well, don't ask me. It's up to the lad.
