Colin and Neville in “Unfinished Business”

Colin

All right, Nev?

Neville

Yeah. Are you ready for more?

Colin

Yeah.

Neville

Yeah, it's all totally different over here. See, in Germany, us brickies have to do our own labouring.

Colin

Do you?

Neville

Oh, aye. There's just one over boss, Grunwald, and his sidekick, Ulrich. They're the only two you've got to watch out for, right?

Colin

How do you get on with the Germans?

Neville

Oh, okay. They're just canny lads, mostly, like the rest of us. [Adds some water to the concrete mix] Only smarter!

Colin

How do you mean, "smarter"?

Neville

Well... yer kna, better turned out. See, the Brits are really scruffy, we wear jeans and sneakers, that kind of thing. Oh, and they never wear their hard hats. Nah, the Erics, they're, er... they're more military. Here, grab a hold of them, will yer?

Colin

Here, Nev, what do you call the Germans "Erics" for?

Neville

Well, if we want to talk about one of them in front of them, like, we call 'em Eric, and that way the Germans think we're talkin' about some bloke called Eric. Good, innit?

Colin

Yeah.

Neville

Yeah, and then there's a lot of Turks over here an' all, and a couple of Dutch. The Turks mainly like in the hut next to us. [Notices Herr Ulrich on site with two policemen investigating the vandals. Thinking they're coming for him, he runs away] Some Greeks, but not many of them, like. [Turns round notices Colin running away] Colin? What's the matter? [Herr Ulrich and the policemen walk past Neville to examine the graffiti.]
