Can I help you, squire?
Oh, hello. No, I was... just admiring the car. Yours, is it?
Yeah, that's right.
German, I notice.
Yeah, BMWs normally are.
No, I meant the registration. [Points to the number plate.] "D-HB", that's the district of Düsseldorf, isn't it?
Perhaps. 'Ere, listen, seein' as you're so bloody good at initials, how 'bout F.O.?
...Dunno that one.
Didn't think you would(!) Look, what's all this about, mate? The car ain't for sale, all right?
Glad to hear it, because having already avoided import duty, you wouldn't want to break the law again, Mr. Wayne Winston Norris? [Shows his ID] Customs and Excise. [Tears a sheet of paper from his pad] Your receipt, sir. Keys, please, sir?
What's the damage?
I've gotta find about 800 quid before I can reclaim her. 'Til then, she stays there.
You haven't got the money, presumably, have you?
About 799 short of the mark, to be honest.
Well, er... now we're workin', I can pay you some back again tomorrow, then after the next couple of weeks with Ally's bonus for finishing, that should cover it, shouldn't it?
Nah, nah, it's all right. I can find the money, I'm just a bit annoyed with meself for getting caught out. See, when I drove it through Harwich, I told 'em I was just a visitor, didn't I?
Well, you are just a visitor, aren't ya?
You what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what I mean is, I should've put it in the wife's name, eh?
Can it not be registered in Christa's name now?
It's too late for that, Den.
