[Denzil and Trigger have been conscripted by Del into helping move six thousand gallons of a mysterious substance from Grandad's allotment, as per the council's orders]
[exasperated about Del being secretive] How can we be certain that this stuff [indicates the barrels containing the substance] isn't dangerous?!
[equally exasperated about Denzil's supposed insubordination] Because it is not! And that's the truth! [he goes into the shed, closing the door behind him]
There you are, you've heard it from the horse's mouth, now. You get that end... [moves to pick up one of the barrels]
What d'ya mean, I've heard it from the horse's mouth?! That's Derek Trotter in there, not bloody Einstein!
Del knows what he's talking about. And I don't see what the Beatles' manager's got to do with it anyway.
[frustrated] But Trig... [thinks on what Trigger has just said] What?!
When we was at school, Del was the best in our class at chemistry. He used to sell homemade fireworks. He even blew up the science lab once.
[angry] Yes, I remember! I was doing detention in there at the time!
And you say he don't know what he's talking about?
[annoyed] Right, that's it, Del! I am not touching them! I'm off!
[still in the shed, therefore unseen] Denzil, now, believe me, it's harmless! And to prove it, I'm gonna help you carry it! Well, I can't play fairer than that, can I?
Look, it can't be dangerous, Denzil.
How can you be sure?!
Cause Del's just offered to help us carry 'em.
[Denzil moves to try strangling Trigger, then relents, knowing how stupid Trigger is.]
Yeah, all right, Trig. All right.
[The shed door opens, and Del emerges, dressed in an old-fashioned diving suit, complete with a big helmet. Trigger and Denzil stare at him.]
[enthusiastically] Lovely jubbly!
