Scenes with Grandad 31

[The Trotters are in separate cells, the scene shifts to each of them one by one.]

Right! Down to business! The face that dropped the microwave oven in the market! What did he look like?

Oh, he was about average height.

Grandad

He was a great big tall fella!

Oh, he was little more than a dwarf!

Grandad

Age?

About 25.

Grandad

Middle 50s!

He was just a kid!

What about his ethnic group?

Well, I didn't notice anyone with him.

No, I mean was he Caucasian?

Grandad

No, he was a white fella!

He was African, I think!

Grandad

He was just a bloke in the market.

Leave it out Grandad. If Mr Slater was here to believe our descriptions he'd have his men out searching for someone who was a cross between Tom Thumb and the Jolly Green Giant.

With a Deaf aid

[Del and Mike, discussing Mike's plan to have the pub redecorated; Brendan has already offered to do it for £1000.]

I might be able to offer you a much better deal my son. I could get this pub decorated to the exact same standard as Brendan, and it would cost your brewery a mere £2000.

£2000?

Grandad

That must be a tempting offer, eh Rodney?

Well he's a born businessman isnt he?

Hang about, hang about. Why should I turn down an offer of £1000 and accept one of £2000?

Cos of all the advantages it has to offer, like my specialised profit sharing scheme. Let me explain how it works. The £2000 would be disbursed thus: there would be £500 for vous. £500 for vee.

What you mean I get 500 quid?

Oh yes.

And what happens to the £1000 that's left over?

We give that to the Irishman and let him do the job.

(grinning) We got a deal, Mr. Trotter.
