[livestock bleating]

You don't sell envelopes or jiffy bags, do you?

-[engine starts] -["Habanera" continues]

[Comet] What's that, then?

[Adam] Just a wind-up for an old mate.

I'll post it, next box we come to.

I'll post it, next box we come to.

What is it?

Nothing much.

Bit of nonsense.

["Habanera" continues]

Comet Snape.

I think we need somewhere to get cleaned up.

We should get on.

We should get on.

What's the hurry?

We're stinking, man.

It's all right. I'll pay.

[Adam laughs]

["Habanera" ends]

I reckon this will do nicely.

[woman] Any preferences?

Room 35? It's the cheapest we've got. It's 30 quid.

Settle now, then? Oh, it's up to you.

Settle now, then? Oh, it's up to you.

Here we are, then. It's not a bad little room.

Sorry about the smell.

Uh, by the way, the plumbing's playing up.

So when you turn the tap on,

it might make a bit of a noise,

-All right, then? -Yeah, lovely.

-There's your keys. -Thank you.

Oh, and I should just say,

Oh, and I should just say,

it might get a bit noisy later,

'cause we've got a band on in the bar.

So I'd come down if I were you.

If there's anything you want, ask for me, Maggie.

Thank you, Maggie.

[Maggie] Hello, darling!

[Maggie] Hello, darling!

Ooh, that looks sore.

[toilet flushing]

-[Comet] Jesus. -Eh?

Could be worse.

Could be worse.

[sighing]

[sighing]

[chuckling]

What?

Oh, nothing. Nothing, mate.

-Fancy a drink? -No.

Come on, you wanker.

Get your hand off your cock and come for a drink.

Come on.

-[feedback whines] -[people chattering]

[Adam] Here's to us, then.

[Adam] Here's to us, then.

[rock music playing]

Ah!

Oi, oi. Things are picking up, mate.

So where'd you get that clock, then, Comet?

I told you, I bought it at auction.

Why're you driving around in the night with it?

Why're you driving around in the night with it?

Thought you weren't gonna ask any questions?

I couldn't care less what you've done. I'm curious.

Yeah, well, so am I.

Why does a bunch of blokes chase you down an alleyway?

Guess they don't like losing.

Guess they don't like losing.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm a gambler, Comet.

A card player. It's what I do.

A card player. It's what I do.

I like to win but some people don't always see it like that.

-So, you cheat? -Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Don't like that word.

Now, needs must and all that, but "cheat"?

Now, needs must and all that, but "cheat"?

It's just fuckin' nasty.

So, why do you cheat? Aren't you any good?

Oh, I'm very good.

But you cheat. Why?

But you cheat. Why?

That's not right.

[Adam scoffs]

Right, I'll tell you why.

'Cause there's no such thing as justice. That's why.

'Cause there's no such thing as justice. That's why.

My old girl? She brought four of us upon a widow's pension.

My old girl? She brought four of us upon a widow's pension.

Wasn't enough, so she cleaned in a local pub for the dosh.

They taxed her on the two combined.

That's justice.

That's justice.

She was worse off than when she started.

While she does that, there's people never done a day's work,

driving round in rollers. They're the fucking cheats.

You're confusing me.

You deliver something from him then say you're looking for him.

Where'd you get them all?

Mostly people throwing them out.

I just take them and tidy them up a bit.

-He rebuilds them. -[Robert] Oh...

What do you do with them then?

What do you do with them then?

I mean, this is amazing.

This could be really valuable.

Oh, I know that.

I mean it could be thousands.

Ah, I see. That kind of value.
