S1 E15Unfinished Business

[Rodney can't go to Australia because of his drug conviction, yet Del is still keen to go without him, much to Rodney's chagrin.]

Don't you think I've sacrificed enough for you?!

Sacrifices? For me?

Yes you, when dear Mum, God rest her soul, when she died...

Don't start again.

When she died, who stood by you?

Yes, I remember that well. I was a little 5-year-old stood in a damp graveyard wondering what the hole in the ground was for, I remember all the other people saying "I wonder what's gonna happen to poor little Rodney?" But I had no need to fear, did I, 'cos suddenly a vision appeared from beyond the silhouette of the gasworks. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Del Boy! Da da da daad! "I, Del Boy, will look after this small waif. I will bring him up in the ways of Del Boy. He will sell iffy watches from old suitcases on street corners. And I will also teach him to drive a three-wheeled van whilst pissed out of his skull!"

And I did, didn't I?

MAMan at the market

...They can't be top quality, they're too cheap!

"Too cheap", how can they be "too cheap" you wally?

MAMan at the market

Here, I'm not a wally!

No? What are you doing then, an impression?

[Shortly after, originating from the background as the scene focuses on Rodney and Victoria]

AMAnnoying man at the market

...yeah but do you get a guarantee?

You do, yeah you do get a guarantee, I'll guarantee you get a smack in the mooey if you keep on pal, just go away and annoy someone else...

VLady Victoria

(to Rodney) "So what's your name?

It's Rodney.

(shouts from a distance) Alright Dave?

No, it's Rodney. He's just a bit thick.

People round here don't pay £85 for a painting... People round here don't pay £85 for a car.

[about to take part in the clay pigeon shoot] When you're ready, John!

CPClay Pigeon Man

Do you mean 'pull'?

Oh, sorry, Paul! In your own time, my son.

[Del has entered a clay pigeon shoot with a sawn off shotgun at Lady Victoria's house.]

Oi! Where'd you get that gun?

Iggy Higgins.

Iggy Higgins robs banks.

Yeah I know but it's Saturday, innit.

HLord Henry

(after Del tells him that he is related to the Surrey Trotters) I don't care if you are related to the Surrey Trotters, the Berkshire Trotters, or the Harlem bloody Globetrotters!

Trigger is not enjoying his drink

Here, Mike, I ordered beer.

Don't try to be funny with me, Trigger! I'll tell you this much: I've had certificates for my beer.

Yeah, I've had a few days off work with it an' all.

Come on Mr Jahan, let's discuss this over a drink, shall we?

JMr. Jahan

OK, something non alcoholic.

Mike, a pint of your best Bitter please.

[Rodney, talking with Albert about the rumours that Freddie the Frog had an illegitimate child with a local woman, allegedly Rodney's mother]

Albert, did...

They're rumours, Rodney. That's all, rumours.

Hold up, hats off.

Hello, 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.

How can you be sure it ain't been found? Over the past few years, every policeman and underworld figure in the country must have been looking for that gold.

(talking about the gold that was stolen by Freddie the Frog) And what would they have done with it, eh? They either put it through a fence, which meant it becomes public knowledge, or they smelt it down themselves. And if they do that, well that amount of gold coming onto the market causes ripples, the sort of ripples that would be remembered for a long time.

What if the police found it?

I'm talking about the police! The chaps never found it either; I had a chat with the Driscoll brothers.

(incredulous) You went and saw the Driscoll Brothers?

Why, what are they like?

Oh, they're smashing blokes, Unc! It's like bumping into the Two Ronnies; Biggs and Kray! And they never sussed out why you were asking questions?

No! I mean, you know what they're like! A couple of years ago, some guru reckoned the world would end within a month, and Danny Driscoll bet a grand that it would! And he's the brains of the outfit!

If you knew he was buried at sea, why'd you ask me to bring this shovel?

So I can whack you on the bloody head with it!
