[Richie is pretending to have fought in the Falklands when talking to a genuine veteran]
Yeah, I was in Two Para.
What, you went twice?
What regiment was you in then?
Well the English one of course! What are you suggesting?
No, what outfit was you in?
Well, the green patchy one most of the time. With the twigs and the bit of leaf, you know, camouflage!
So, ah, what did you do then?
Well, I'd rather not talk about it.
Why, is it embarrassing? Shit your pants, did you? Cry, did you, eh?
Quite the opposite, actually.
What, you sucked water in through your eyes?
No. I took Harrison's Point single-handed.
Oooh. That can be nasty. I shut Tucker's finger in the tank door, didn't I Eddie?
I don't know, this is all a load of bollocks.
[They are sharing war stories.]
You'll have to excuse Eddie, his mind's sort of blanked it out.
What, 'cos it's so horrible?
No, he's just got that sort of mind.
