[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?
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.
