[Although Del promised Boycie a baby boy, he can only deliver a girl.]
BoycieIt's amazing, innit? Everything you buy off him has got something missing.
BoycieThis piece of paper. It's not a log book for a Cortina is it?
BoycieHave you ever spent an evening in Trigger's flat!? It's like holding a seance with Mr. Bean.
[Del places a few £10 notes on the table]
BoycieIs that all you've got Del?
Eh? Uh no, no (nudging his head towards Rodney), Rodney's got the rest for me...
Oh yeah... Del, here's the four pound thirty-seven from the empties...
What you got?
BoycieI've got kings.
How many?
BoycieUn, deux, tois, quatre.
Four!?
BoycieI didn't know you were good at maths Del Boy.
BoycieCome on Del, let's see your two pair.
Well I've got a pair of aces and another pair of aces.
BoycieThat's FOUR aces.
I didn't know you were good at maths either Boycie.
[Del has just beaten Boycie in their poker game]
Boycie(grudgingly) Well done, Del. Nicely played. (whispers) Where did you get those four bloody Aces from?
Same place you got those Kings. I knew you was cheating, Boycie.
BoycieOh yeah, how?
Because that wasn't the hand that I dealt you.
[Anna's baby girl turns out to be black, and Marlene wants to keep her.]
We could say it's a throwback.
Boyciefor gawd sake Marlene!I might be able to con people into buying my cars, I might be able to convince them that you conceived and gave birth in seven days flat, but how the hell am I going to persuade them my grandad was Louis Armstrong?!?
Hold up, hats off.
BoycieHello, your mini cab's arrived, Albert.
Boycie!
Is that Dave?
Yeah.
[It is indeed Rodney leading the funeral prosession in full Chief Mourner's gear he looks up and sees Del.]
You git. You rotten git! You never told me my new job was a chief mourner!!!
Rodney, please show some respect.
[Mike and Boycie talk about Albert's terrible singing.]
Why does he keep doing it, eh?
BoycieGod knows. I suppose at some time in his life, someone told him he could play the piano.
Yeah, but I'd like to meet the git who told him he could sing!
What is the matter with everyone today? Trigger's done nothing but moan, you've got a face like a constipated rat. At least when Del Boy comes in, he cracks a joke and has a laugh!
BoycieIt is due to the activities of the aforementioned Del Boy that I have a face like a constipated rat! Derek popped in to see me this afternoon.
How is he?
BoycieA lot richer than before he popped in to see me this afternoon. He sold me some video recorders, 70 pounds each, I snapped them up.
70 nicker each? What, they fall off the back of a lorry?
BoycieIf they did, they were going around the bend in Düsseldorf!
How'd you mean?
BoycieI've just discovered that these machines only work on the continental current. To make them work on the British system would take a transformer the size of a suitcase, and an electrician of such genius I'd have to go head-hunting at Cape Canaveral!
[When Arnie collapses from his "heart attack".]
BoycieDon't panic. I am a doctor. Stand aside, stand aside, let the dog see the rabbit. (checks Arnie's pulse) Oh yes, very nasty he needs an operation. (searches Arnie's pockets for the key to his handcuff)
He's not a doctor. He's mugging the poor man.
[A large Greek man steps forward and grabs Boycie by the lapels.]
BoycieOi!
You... (punches Boycie on the nose)
Call the police.
Yes madam, I call the police.
It's all right they'll be no need. I am an officer of the law.
(looking at Del's height) Policemen are taller than that.
I'm a small town policeman. All right sunshine you are knicked. (grabs Boycie and takes him out of the restaurant) Come on, out you go! Rest assured madam when we get him down the police station, we'll give him a bloody good hiding. Come on you!
The spirits are with us. A man has stepped forward. A tall, elderly man wearing a black coat and a black hat. He wished to speak to someone called Audrey... No, no Aubrey.
Aubrey?
BoycieI am here.
Aubrey?
BoycieIt's my middle name.
You never said your name was Aubrey.
BoycieNor would you if your name was Aubrey.
(to Boycie, about the ghost of his father) He says you must be a good father. You must look after your child.
BoycieIs he having a pop at me or something?
Elsie, Boycie and his wife Marlene can't have kids.
Yeah they've been trying for years but nitto.
Yeah he's had tests, things frozen, the lot.
The hospital have just about given up with him.
He's low on something.
Boycie(completely furious) Would you mind not discussing my personal life with strangers? You can tell my old man to keep his nose out of my business he was always going on at me for not giving him a grandchild.
All right calm down. (grins) Aubrey.
BoycieYou can pack that in for a start. I'm gonna get a drink [He rises] It's all a load of rubbish anyway I never believed a word of it. [He considers] Excuse me.
Listen, I’ve er heard of the Driscoll brothers Del but I’ve never seen them. What do they look like?
BoycieWell one of them looks like he was evicted from The Planet of the Apes
Yeah, and the other one reminds me of Cliff Richards
What, he looks er younger than his years?
No, he’s got one of those faces that you wanna slap
