Strange quirk of fate this, isn'it? Y'know? I mean... who'd have thought that me, who's always hated Krauts...
[Not understanding] You've always hated what?
Er... Crowds. Crowds. Traffic. I've always liked the countryside, yer know.
Oh. I too. But you were saying about fate.
Yeah, well, I mean, who would've thought that I'd be expanding the family empire here in Germany?
Where will you live?
Well, in a hut. Y'see, we couldn't get any decent hostel accommodation because it co... [Trying to keep to his story] Oh, right! Where will I live? Erm... well... in the mountains, over a river, yer know. A small castle would just about do it. After all, I'm all alone. Where do you live, Uli?
Oh... please, I'd rather not talk about me.
You're not married, are yer?
Divorced.
Oh, right, aye. Dennis is gettin' a divorce. That's Dennis, one of the lads who works for us, yer know. Oh, it's costin' him a fortune in maintenance.
I try to be independent with money. I have my own job.
Have yer?
As a beauty consultant.
Oh, right, right. Well, that's a canny job, isn'it? Hey, listen, you'll have to do me toenails sometime!
[Chuckles] It's hard to be independent with a jealous boyfriend.
[Taken aback somewhat] Boyfriend? [Uli nods] What, is he... a big bloke, is he?
[Hesitantly] Yes... but he's not so important as you are. I've wanted to leave him for a long time, but, er... he's very possessive.
Well, I can be very possessive meself, yer know, when I have to be! I can be when the need arises...
[Entering the lounge] Oz, I want a word with you. [Sees Uli] Oh, excuse me, pet. Er, I just want a quick word with the chief here.
Oh, is this one of your men?
Er... yeah, one of the lads. That's aboot it. [Reaches into his pocket]
So, you are in Oz's company?
Aye, day and night(!)
Yeah, well, look, er... I kna what yer after, son. Listen... [Hands out a fifty mark note] Will fifty do yer?
[Taking the money] Oh... thanks, Oz. You're a gentleman!
I kna, I kna, but, yer kna... there's no need to tell everybody aboot it, man.
Right, er... good night, miss.
Now, don't be late in the mornin', will yer? [Neville leaves the bar, a bit confused] Young and daft, yer kna. [Raises his beer] Cheers!
