[Oz is bearing a grudge, Dennis tries to resolve it]
D'you remember when we first met?
Nah.
It was on that housing estate in Cramlington.
It was Bedlington, actually.
Oh, so you do remember?
Well, vaguely.
You turned up on spec, right? Looking for a job and the foreman was away. So I hired you. When he came back, he was gonna give you the sack.
Was he?
Yeah.
Why?
Your mouth mostly. Also, you tried to chin him; that might have had something to do with it! And I stood up for you, right, I said this Oz might be a bit of a lunatic. But he lays more bricks in three days than most of us do in five
Well, that's true.
That's not what I'm talking about, man! Then the German gig came up, right, I spent three days traipsing every pub in Wallsend looking for your arse.
So, what are you trying to tell us, like? That I owe this glittering career to you?
No. I'm saying that I've always wanted you on my team!
