[Barry is approached by three local men]

Buenos dias!

LLocal

[in Spanish] What's this Gringo doing sitting in a bath, next to a hearse, in the middle of nowhere, reading Hemingway?

Hemingway, si, Ernest, yes. Yes it’s a good book actually, er it’s set here, do you know it? Ah, erm, hablo Anglais? ...no oh that’s a pity, only my Spanio is a bit poko, a bit inadequate actually…yeah….Now don’t you go getting any ideas about this will you gentlemen, it’s el bath Fidel Castro, presenté pour Anglais ambassadoro. So if you’re thinking of nicking it you’re gonna end up in very hot water actually, oh yes, mucho caliente agua. Haha. [guys move forward] Oh shit…

[Neville’s first mission]

How am I supposed to get to know him?! He’s not gay is he?

TTarquin

No no, staright as a tent pole. He likes girls, bars, technopop. Annnd he’s passionate about Manchester United. Apparently several million Chinese are.

How’s that supposed to help?

TTarquin

You’re a footballer.

Not Man U I’m not!

TTarquin

You are now.

Aww no, no, ha’way, forget it. I’m from Newcastle man! That’s like asking me to change us religion!

TTarquin

Small price to pay for Queen and country. Here you might need this. [hands Neville a United shirt printed with Giggs]

You’ve got it bad, haven’t you?

Aye, aye, I’ve never known nowt like this before. When I see her, I get all tongue-tied. Me! Shivers doon me neck and sweaty palms.

Well these symptoms you describe could be one of two things: it’s either that Mongolian flu that was going around last year...orrrr...you’re in love.

Well, let’s hope it’s the flu, eh? you can get a jab for that.

Look I’ve gotta go. You’ll be okay will you?

Me, aye, I’m just gonna have a night in front of the telly. If we had a telly.

Where’s everybody else?

I dunno, they went off somewhere.

There seems to be a concerted effort around here to avoid me, eh, I’m not middle-management you know!

Not from me, Den! I’d go out with you in a flash, only Tina’s got nicer knockers.

I went to a séance in Edgbaston once. I tried to contact my Granny.

Why?

Well we wanted to find out where she’d left the key to this old trunk in the attic. Cor blimey, I couldn’t get out there quick enough mate, teacups and saucers flying all over the place. I drove into a concrete litter bin on the home.

[Neville gets talking to his oriental buddies]

MMichael

Hey, where were you that night?

What night?

MMichael

That night!

MFMichael’s friend

The night! The night!

That night?! Oh, what a night!

GGirl

What happened that night?

MMichael

We beat Bayern Munich in Barcelona!

Ayeeeee, the two jammy goals in stoppage time

MMichael

Jammy? I don’t know that word

It means brilliant.

MMichael

Oh right okay! We win the triple. It was a jammy evening, the climax of a jammy season! Ah, salut!

AAll

Salut!

[Barry drives the lads home after the evening with the cult]

I love the traffic lights here. I love the way they sparkle and glitter like a kaleidoscope of colours.

There’s no traffic lights in this street, Barry.

Yes there are! Green, gold, turquoise, blue, I love the butterflies too!

There’s no ruddy butterflies!

There’s millions of them! There wings sparkling with innerdescence.

Wait a minute, did you eat anything back there? Awwww, his trippin’, his trippin’!

Aw look, there’s one settled on my nose!

Give us the wheel! Give us the wheel!!

TTarquin

Call him, tell him you’ll drop round his flat for drinks. Put these in his Vodka Martini.

What will they do?!

TTarquin

Put him to sleep. It’s a date rape drug. He’ll be out for a couple of hours.

And then what?!

TTarquin

Find the package. You take it to the door of the apartment building, Felipe will be there to make a copy. You take the original back to the flat, wait for him to wake up, and then go out and get drunk or laid...or whatever the pair of you do.

At home on a Sunday night, Brenda orders in a pizza and we watch Songs of Praise.

[Chrissie visits Barry in jail]

CChrissie

Hello Barry. The boys have told me so much about you. Now, you’re in their thoughts and it’s only a question of time. I brought a few things the stewards on the boat put together, some salami, couple of tins of sardines, some Parma Ham, figs, a few tangerines, and a nice piece of cheese. ....Oh no don’t worry about the guards, I brought a few items for them and a whole carton of Marlborough, so they’re squared anyway. Now I know you’re going through hell Barry, but you’re not alone and you’re not forgotten, and when I leave this island, a whole lot more people will know about you including The Red Cross and Amnesty International.

Who are you?

[Chrissie and Dennis get it on]

CChrissie

Were the lads taking bets....on whether this would happen?

Course not! Well probably,

CChrissie

And what odds did you give yourself?

Well whatever they were, they’ve just narrowed.

[Neville realises he’s been used by Tarquin]

I used to think that life was simple, get up, go to work, make a few modest gains for your family, you knew who you were, who you’re friends were. Life’s not like that, is it? It’s complex and devious.

[Oz plans to take Ofelia back to England]

Well saying you do get her back to the North-East, well how do you think that will work then?

What do you mean?

Well it’s a bit of a culture shock isn’t it?

Oh, I’ll adjust quick enough man!

Seriously man, look at all these South American football players, they’ve signed for the Premier League and one minute it’s sunshine and samba, next minute...it’s Middlesbrough!

[Ofelia wants to rebel]

OOfelia

Yes I can! These stupid people telling me who I can’t be with!

You’ve got some bollocks pet, I’ll give you that. When you’re up on that stage you know, dancing, you look so...fragile. But really, you’re made out of tungsten.

OOfelia

Que?!
