Neville, Moxey and others in “Unfinished Business”

Neville

Mox!

Hello, lads.

Neville

Where the hell have you been?

I dossed down here last night.

Bomber

You look bloody frozen! [Picks up Neville's jacket] Here, lad. [Throws the jacket over Moxey's shoulders]

Cheers, mate.

Wayne

So what's the word, then, eh? I mean, I think you owe us an explanation, mate. [After running away after the sight of a police car the previous day]

Yeah... I've been in prison, see.

Oz

We kna that, man, but that was yonks ago, wasn'it? It doesn't mean you have to shit yerself every time you see a police.

No, I mean I've been in recently. Like last week. An' I'm not due out 'til next March.

Neville

What, you mean, you've went over the wall?

Well, it wasn't a closed nick. I was in an open prison in Cheshire. Wasn't as if I had to dig a tunnel or rent an helicopter. I just walked out the front door. Bought a Toblerone at the post office and got a bus to Macclesfield.

Neville

Why?

I've got a mate there. He gave us a float and I made me way to Barry's.

Neville

You must be mad, Mox.

Wayne

Yeah, it's a bloody lunatic thing to do, Mox.

Bomber

If it was an open prison, you must have been dealt with fairly lenient.

Oh I was. I'm not a Grade A villain! I just got done for the old trouble.

Neville

What, arson?

Yeah. You see, with me, they know that it's a ps-ps-psychological defect, as opposed to a cr-criminal tendency.

Oz

Ah, they also didn't want a prison burned to the ground, did they?

Wayne

Yeah, but blimey, Mox, if it was an open prison, you must've had life pretty cushy, eh?

It's still stir, Wayne. It's still people tellin' you what to do an' when to do it! I had a year of it ahead of me.

Wayne

Well, they'll have a bloody sight more when they nick you, mate.

Bomber

Wayne's right. If you give yourself up, you'll be caned for your walkabout. But if you don't, and you get collared, you'll be looking at two years.

I'll take me chances.

Bomber

Suit yourself. [Gets up to start work.]

Wayne

I'll say no more.

Oz

Aye, don't worry, Moxey. We'll look after yer.

I'm bloody frozen.

Neville

Maybe we could light a fire, eh?

That's a good idea, that...

Wayne

Er... no. No, not you, Moxey. I think I'll do it.
