All language subtitles for Minder s10e06 All quiet on the west end front

Thank you.

Why should Shifty Sands be interested in
this stuff?

He does a line in themed cafes, you
know, decks them out in different eras.

He'll gobble this lot up. Early cinema,
Art Gecko, all that.

Why, they make money.

Well, you know what your average tourist
is like. They like a bit of atmosphere

with their tea and digestives.

Have you seen the price of some of this
gear?

Have you seen Bernie's profit margins?

One catering -sized box of tea bags,
dipped in hot water and dangled in front

a family of four coming out of the Tower
of London.

And it's hello Marbella for the winter.

Here, look at these old tip -up seats.
They'd be good for him. Very space

-saving. Well spotted. Make a note of
the numbers.

Right.

Oh, my good God, what is that?

That's a waxwork.

Oh, that gave me quite a turn.

What's that nail of?

Oh, yeah.

Commissioned in 1983 to celebrate
Britain's achievements at the American

of Wolves.

Yeah, this is Chuck Winaston as Gordon
the Cartoon. I saw that film. That's

nothing like Chuck.

Well, there's a load more in the
basement.

Figures from Chariots of Fire, Blue
Ways... Make a note of their numbers.

What are they for?

The franc fell a further two points
against the mark before rallying half a

point against the dollar by close of
trading.

Though traders expect the franc to...
You're awful. Marilyn's foot just fell

off. Shush.

City thought is warned that further
instability could only spell long -term

gloom for European Union.

I don't like it, Ray.

What? I'm worried about the exchange
rate mechanism.

Oh, yeah?

See, our French cousins always
underestimate the perfidy of the

As soon as the market goes bullish, they
stick their berries in the sack.

It's the same with a Maginot lime.

Where do you want me to stick Elvis?

That's never Elvis.

That's what it says on the ticket.

I thought it was Engelbert.

I'll bung him over there with a bird
bath.

Righto. It's very worrying.

You see, the old fabric is in danger of
unravelling.

I'm seriously beginning to wonder
whether my thrust into Europe was a bit

precipitous. It's your thrust into
waxworks that worries me.

Have no fear, Ray. When Bernie sees this
lot, he'll go bomb.

Now, be reasonable, Burnley. These are
handcrafted waxworks.

They're practically antiques. It can't
be done.

Your punters have lapped it up. Tea with
a star, as you could call it. Arthur,

listen to me. Watch my lips moving.

I am broke.

I've gone belly up.

I'm packing up my gear because the bank
has foreclosed. I'm finished.

Kaput. Finito.

Yeah, but I've forked out.

Well, I'm sorry, but the cupboard is
bare.

Do you mean you're destitute?

Nicely put, Arthur.

Oh, bad luck. I'm sorry about that,
Shifty.

Practically begged me to take that loan.

Very generous, it seemed.

Till the bottom fell out of catering.
You'll have the ER rent to thank for

Is that a fact?

Yeah, the market is in turmoil.

It's all these financial speculators.
They're running round a stock exchange

with carrier bags full of foreign
currencies.

Somebody shouts the pesetas up, and
before you know where you are, that is

quid on the price of an uno.

What can you do?

Why would that affect me?

He's always the little man who pays,
isn't he?

You are a victim of Europe's fiscal
failure.

Well, I'll write to my MP now, if you'll
excuse me.

I wish I could do something to help,
Shifty.

Now you mention it... Hold on, hold on.
No, things are bad all round. No, no,

no, I'm not looking for a bung, no.

You could do yourself a bit of good.

How's that?

Take a look around you.

What do you see?

Businessmen from the four corners of the
globe, all on expenses with money to

burn.

I've shelled out my stand for a week.

Now, if some farsighted entrepreneur was
to make me an offer on the unexpired

lease, he could clean up.

How much?

Let's concentrate, kids. We're going
again.

And remember, when they up, who put the
do in do -wah?

Do -wah, do -wah, do -wah.

It's do with coffee.

Every time.

Wah, wah, wah, do -dee -doo -wah.

Are we keeping you girls up?

The wah -wahs are pathetic.

Okay, lunch.

Ten minutes.

I've been in the business 14 years.

That man hasn't a clue.

Hi, Ray. Hiya.

Hi, Ray. Taking us to lunch too?

Excuse my friends.

They don't get out much.

That's all right. Hello, girls.

Hi. Down, Patch.

You're having lunch with me.

Solo.

Come on.

Please wear your pass at all times and
remember to make yourself known to

security. Yes, miss.

Nice little set -up you've got here.

Your boss works you very hard, does he?

Follow me.

Certainly, miss.

Poor old shifty.

Most unfortunate.

The luck of the draw, really.

Or the overdraw, in his case.

Oh, just a minute. There seems to be a
misunderstanding.

This is the one I was supposed to
inherit.

You've been recited this way, please.

Hey, hold on a minute.

I took over in all good faith from Mr
Sands and the understanding that I will

get his prime site.

The contract's quite clear. The
management reserve the right to

We regret any inconvenience.

Your director's a bit of a dictator,
ain't he?

He wouldn't recognise good singing if it
bit him.

He's got about as much sense of rhythm
as a washing machine, with no brick.

Yeah, it's tough at the top.

Don't take the mick.

I do this to pay the bills.

Yeah, and I bet your mum loves it when
she hears you on the radio.

You should come and hear me at the club,
with a full band behind me.

Yeah, do what there, do you?

Smart, Alec.

It's proper music.

Jazz. Well, like Kenny Bull.

Not trad.

It's awful stuff.

Like who?

Well, not like anybody.

Like me.

You should come and hear for yourself.

I'll get you some free tickets.

Judging by this lunch, you're in need of
a freebie.

Do what?

Okay, boys and girls, back on your
heads.

Let's give the donkey another block.

So, do you want to come?

Yeah, all right. I'll, uh... I'll give
you a bill.

No veg is too tough for the Utivage.

Parsnips, potatoes, cabbages, and
courgettes. And what's more, are you fed

peeling, madam, for the large Sunday
dinner? With the Utivage peeling

you can peel and trim these carrots
without any waste whatsoever.

You see?

Excellently done.

Right now.

suitably refreshed, your clients are
then met by a smart chauffeur in a gold

Mercedes. Evening, gents.

Mr.

Slater is waiting for you at the Savoy
Hotel and hopes you will enjoy your

They are then driven along the optimum
route and arrive relaxed, refreshed,

cheerful, and in the ideal mood for
signing the contract which you have

in your briefcase.

On the other hand, Mr. Corman? Mr.
Corman, who did not use our service, His

clients are tired, hungry, and have been
waiting for a taxi at Charing Cross

Railway Station in the pouring rain for
the last half hour. Contract, they say.

You know where you can put your
contract. In future, we will be doing

with our nice Mr. Slater.

But seriously, we all know how important
it is to make a good first impression.

And we at Chester Holbein tailor the
evening to suit your needs.

We have relationships with all the major
sporting organisations and preferred

arrangements with the best restaurants,
theatres, night spots and casinos in the

West End. Excuse me? In fact, our casino
evening is probably one of our most

popular. Excuse me? Yes, how may I help
you?

Um, Arthur Daly. Daly Car Leasing, stand
312.

I've been listening to your patter. Very
cogent. Now, look, let's say I've got

my party of four.

They've got outside the prawn cocktail,
steak and two veg, pudding of choice.

They've taken in the floor show.

I've lashed them with complimentary
bubbly. We're down at the casino.

What's the damage?

Well, we have a sliding scale for
various events.

No, no, cut the flannel. Car, nosebag
casino. How much? Well, for what you're

talking about, I would say you're
looking at our medium band evening.

Come on, we're busy men.

What's the figure? Well, off the top of
my head, I would say 700 should cover

it. And how do you invoice?

Each service is separately receipted.

You, out of this place now. You saw
exactly what I was trying to do. This

is for the lady.

Now sit there.

Here,

do you know how many stands are in this
place?

I've been looking all over for you. Look
down there.

Where?

Giza in the blazer. One who looks like a
little sumo wrestler.

Yeah, what about him?

Do you know what corporate entertainment
is?

That's a freebie to a sporting event,
ain't it? As far as I can gather, you

a load of punters together, feed and
water them, and then ship them out to

West End. That's his racket.

So? What do you reckon he charges for
that little service?

Hit me.

700 smackers.

Minimum. Yeah, what's this?

It's a ute veg.

Oh, yeah? What's it for?

It's for shredding. Never mind about
that. Don't worry about the ute veg. We

standing not 20 yards away from a geezer
who takes punters for 20 quid meals at

7 tonne a throw.

You imagine, five bookings a week.

Do you know what that comes to?

3 ,500.

It was a rhetorical question.

Where are we going now?

You're going to look after the stand.
I've got to go out.

Hello, Kenny.

What have you got for me tonight, Reggie
boy?

A group of Argentina, beef import,
dynasty, phantom of the opera, and then

supper of the Savoy. They have all the
major credit cards. Haji's. Make sure

they see the baccarat table. Haji's love
baccarat. I also have a serious bite

from a Malawi trade bunch.

Emerging nations.

I love it.

No, Arthur.

Why not?

I saw this coming. I was waiting for it.
The answer is no.

Dave, allow me one second.

to explain the nub of my proposal.

Thank you.

Now, your average punter comes in here,
buys a drink, sits down at a table.

What has he got to distract him?

A fruit machine.

He's left his newspaper at the office,
he's read all the beer mats, and then

suddenly he sees a sign.

Winchester Waxworks.

This way.

I know, he says.

That looks interesting. I think I'll
have a butcher's at that. No way.

Why not?

Because I do not like him.

That is a Duke of Wellington you're
slagging.

Look at him.

No. Look, look, look at that fine
military bearing.

It's spooky.

I do believe you've got the wind up. I
am thinking of our customers.

If it distresses you. I am not windy. I
am just not having it, that's all. It's

all right, Dave, it's all right. We all
have our dark corners.

Hey, where are you going?

Back to the exhibition.

You can't leave him there.

Ray will pick him up later.

Where as? Mr Evans' clients.

I'll get him wet and cold trying to flag
down a minicab outside Euston Station.

So who gets the contract?

But joking apart, gents, we all know how
important it is to make a good

impression. With WEC, that is
guaranteed.

And what is more, we tailor the occasion
to suit your needs.

I remember my father saying to me, son,
never put your hand in a likely fire. I

want a word with you.

Oh, Mr. Argreaves. Now.

Look, excuse me, gentlemen, one of my
oldest clients.

Do help yourself to the dry roasted and
Raymond will recharge your glasses.

Look, could you leave it for a minute? I
think I've got a nibble. What the hell

do you think you're playing at? You were
in Carly's thing yesterday.

I have a wide portfolio of company.
You're trying to steal my business.

even using my patter. Oh, I think you'll
find the English language is available

for general use. Nobody puts it over on
me.

Look, you're blocking my access. Now,
will you move along or shall I go and

security? I think you should worry about
your own security, Mr Daly.

Do you want me to call security?

All right, go on.

I will.

Morning, Princess.

How's the zoo?

The zoo is becoming very interesting.

There's a funny little man who's decided
to tread on Hargreaves' toes.

Look.

I'll go and sort him out.

No, wait.

I want to see who comes out on top.

I have to wear this stupid hat.

Well, try tucking your hair in
underneath.

No, I feel like a prat. Yeah, but a
smart one. No, no, honestly, you look

Hello, Palace Theatre.

I'd like four seats for tonight's
performance, please.

Not too near the band.

Right, let's go through what you're
going to do.

What do you mean, sold out? If I meet
you as a customer, where are you going

go in? Yeah, but you must keep a few
seats on one side.

Like, all right.

No, no, not all right. What happens if a
minor royal turns up? Just give it a

nod. Oh, right, yeah.

Oh, so how much is a box? Don't say
anything, just a nod. Get your cap

How much?

That's it.

Oh, no wonder music all died out.
Goodbye.

Oi, but do I have to wear this tie?

Yes, you do. You're a chauffeur, not a
van driver.

Yeah, but I don't suit a tie. You don't
suit a suit.

Here, take it off and tie it again.

Get him sorted out, Ray, and don't be
late.

Hey, what's... What are you doing here?
I can't find the rear window heater,

Ray. I'm all messed it up out there.
Well, it's underneath the fog, so just

back and stay with the car. I just want
to look professional.

I'm not used to it, Jax.

I'm Robinson from Jesper and Clark.

Ray Daly, Wilson Entertainment.

I hope you had a pleasant journey,
gentlemen. There was no buffet on the

Oh, dear.

Sorry about that.

Well, I'm sure you're going to have a
lovely pre -show dinner before the

theatre, so if you'd like to follow me,
the car's this way.

What do you want, Gap? Stool, dresser,
or gallery?

How much are the stools?

30 quid. How much is the gallery?

15. Give me four gallery.

Good evening.

Are you speaking English?

Yes. Are you interested in some tickets?

Right up the top. No, no, no. Right up.

Yes.

I hope you enjoyed it, Gap.

Give us four a dress.

Oh, good evening.

You're looking for tickets?

Do me

four

stalls. What did you say stalls cost?

Thirty. Gallery?

Fifteen. So I bought four gallery from
you at 15.

So if I give you another four 15s, which
is 60, that's the difference between

stores and gallery. We're straight,
right?

Hold on.

You're right, you're right. I also had
some dress.

Let's make an even 50, shall we? Wait a
minute. Oh, come on. I don't want to

miss the overture.

Something funny going on here.

Bandit, six o 'clock. Old Bill, at
casual.

No tickets.

Of course.

Storms. This way, gentlemen.

I hope you enjoy the show.

I think it's going to rain. Where's the
wipers?

Gentlemen,

how did it go? I don't think they
enjoyed it.

Well, they chose the show. Tell them to
take it up with Anthony Lloyd Webber.

Yeah, but they weren't very happy with
their seats.

One of them's done his neck in. This
way, gentlemen.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the show. Get
my hat and coat, will you?

Good evening, sir. Can I help you?

Party of five.

Member's name, please?

Member?

Well, it was burnt to come off the wagon
from time to time.

That was, I don't know, it was members
only.

It wasn't in my day. It's called
planning, Arthur.

Here, do you get them back to the hotel,
all right? Yeah, there's a bit of a

delay. The manager couldn't find the
funeral marks. Play them up to their

Outrageous behaviour. There you go. Sign
that.

Demanding a refund.

Well, you didn't give it to them, did
you? I certainly did not.

I mean, as it was, I didn't make a
penny. What, were them quibbling over

item? Say, nothing of the cab charges.

Yeah, well, it's all over now.

Yeah, but it's hardly a British spirit,
is it? They wouldn't have lasted five

minutes in a blitz.

I'm sorry, the seats in this Anderson
shelter are not up to scratch. You got

anything near any ack -ack?

What was that they called me?

Cheapskate. No, no, no, the other word.

What, conman?

No, it was a longer one.

Charlatan. That's the one.

There's a very ungenerous spirit
prevalent among the young British

entrepreneurs. It's a European malaise.
It's infectious.

Malcontented moaners to a man.

Ah, Jack Cornwall. You didn't moan when
you stood on the burning deck, did you,

son? You didn't get Nelson whinging at
Waterloo?

Flory Nightingale? Not a peep out of her
on the leopard colony in Scutari?

These are the kind of British who made
Britain great.

Yeah, what's Charles Autry doing here?

That's the lot.

I still don't see how these are going to
help, Arthur.

Well, it's not the waxworks as
themselves, Ray. It's what they

It came to me in a flash. With a little
rejigging, they could stand for

everything England has to offer in
corporate entertainment.

Well, give me a for instance.

Lord Nelson.

He's your heritage.

Dick Williamson, pageantry, Lord Mayor's
show, all that.

Yeah, what about Marilyn then?

That's Danny LaRue.

What, represented dressing up as a
woman?

Cabaret. All right, all right. So you've
got your heritage, your pageantry, your

cabaret.

What's Gordon a cartoon represent?

Sport. Sport? Yeah.

Pull the spear out, stick it in his
hand, whack a dicky bow on him.

Dead ringer for Cliff Thorburn, snooker,
at which we are world champions.

Yeah, Cliff Thorburn's Canadian.

So you reckon your freak show landed you
the contract, eh? My tapestry of

England brought them flocking, Dave.

What'd I say I wanted? Global trade.
What have I got?

Four foreign fellas with wallets you
could stop a door with. Let's hope it

better than the other night, eh?

Marion.

Ticket for tonight, as promised.

Oh, right, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, thanks.

Oh, well, I was in the neighbourhood and
I thought I'd buy you lunch.

Sorry, Arthur.

I've got to get back to work.

Yeah.

Hey, what... Just take me a drink. No,
no, honestly.

No, it doesn't matter, honestly.

I had to pop in a ticket anyway. Well,
look, I'll try and see if I can make it.

Excuse me, my dear.

I hear you mention tickets.

You couldn't lay your hands on half a
dozen spares, could you? I'm very keen

your kind of music.

Do what, you mean?

Yeah, no problem.

I'll leave them at the front.

Thank you.

See you later.

See you.

What a nice girl.

Very nice.

Like Russ Conway in his heyday.

Beautiful girl.

Beautiful voice.

We could be on a winner here. They talk
about Hampton Court and a visit to

Windsor. I play my cards right. They
could be rolling in dracons come the end

the week.

Excuse me.

Your friend is very good.

No fog in her voice.

Very big on the radio, you know.

Really?

You like jazz?

Yeah, I could get into it.

It's an attractive meant to it.

And I've got no defence for it. The heat
is too

intense for it. What good would common
sense for it do?

Cos it's witchcraft.

You're over. Who is that woman?

Vanessa Wilkes. Graham. She introduces
them as Usain. I told you about her.

She's the organiser.

A name like that, I was expecting to be
in certain jobless.

What can I get you? Get us a beer,
please, mate.

Terrible parking round here, isn't it?

I hear you're by way of being my
benefactor.

I'm Ray Daly, Wilson Entertainment.

Apparently we have you to thank for our
new clients.

Well,

I just thought I might want to say
thanks.

So,

thanks.

Just too quickly.

Right.

I think you're over -icing your
cocktails, mate.

Yeah? Yeah.

This lady's below freezing point.

I don't need men to fight my battles for
me. I fight my own. Yeah, you're doing

a good job. Look.

I just came over to say thanks for the
favour.

I don't do favours.

How come we've got the new clients?

Let's just say I wanted to see how you'd
measure up.

In that case, I'll do my best.

Your girlfriend has a good voice.

She's not my girlfriend.

She's a friend who happens to be a girl.

How very modern of you.

Mr Hussein will want to gamble later.

This is the casino to bring him to.
You'll be expected.

Will you be there?

Your friend who happens to be a girl is
looking for you.

Thanks very much.

Fantastic. I need a drink. A gin tea,
please. A large one.

Hi, I'm Marion.

Oh, um...

Sorry, Marion, this is Vanessa.

Vanessa Marion.

Mention my name at the door. So nice to
have met you, Marion.

Good night.

Is there something wrong with my
perfume?

No, we were just talking business.

Come on, let's join the others, eh?

Gentlemen, Marion Prince.

Enchanted, my dear.

That was a beautiful song from a
beautiful singer. Thank you very much.

sit down.

Get married and you know me and Arthur
are going to have to shoe off later.

Oh, don't worry about me. I'm getting
used to you being busy.

Well, it's business.

You're Arthur. You're him.

I'm starting.

Casino.

Thank you.

Good evening, miss. My name's Arthur
Daly, Wilsdon Entertainment.

Hello, Mr Daly. If you'd like to take
your party through, there's champagne at

the bar.

Oh, is there?

Compliment for the management.

This way, gentlemen.

Just through there.

Thank you.

This is more like it.

Is that for Daly? Yes.

A glass of champagne, gentlemen?

Compliments, Wilson Entertainment.

I hope you've enjoyed the evening thus
far.

Splendid, Mr. Daly, quite splendid.
We've certainly enjoyed playing host to

So here's mud in your eye and eyes down
for a lucky evening.

Now it's time to break the bank at Monte
Carlo.

This?

What's all that about a piece of attic?

Sixteen. I cover the groups of fours and
sixes with doubles and half stakes on

alternating lines.

Then, odds and evens, strict pattern.

If I can retain the pull of the ball,
then I should be able to alternate red

black with enough accuracy to cover my
bets.

Oh, I see.

Very ingenious.

Of course, a lucky shot on a single
number is the only way to make big

That's why I always put a high -risk
chip on one number.

No more bets.

My daughter's age.

This is fascinating, right?

Right?

Hang a night. Age who wins.

Winner ate the hardware.

This is a lonely game.

It's solitary.

There's a difference.

Well, you look like you're winning.

I like winning.

That's why I play.

Who do you like to throw for me?

Well, I don't know the rules.

You don't need to know the rules to win.

Two craps, line in.

But it helps.

Well done.

This time, you must choose the single
number. Anyone between 1 and 36.

Her indoors age, 21.

21 it is.

Do you mind?

This square's taken.

What are you talking about?

Mr. Daly, any number of people can bet
on the same place.

Perhaps this man will bring us luck.

No, I've changed my mind. 19.

No more bets.

19, Red.

Now we are in danger of losing Lady
Luck's affection.

The biggest secret of all is to quit
while you're ahead.

Stay up.

Would you spare me a moment?

What do you want?

A quiet word.

All right?

Mr. Daly, this is for you. Oh, please,
please take it.

It's your good luck that we've been
riding on tonight. Oh, well, if you

Thank you very much.

I'll see you in a minute.

Thank you. I think you should find your
nephew. He's not feeling very well. Next

time, it could be you. Thank you.

Yeah, he's in the motor.

Sitting in the bar having a quiet drink.

One of the hostesses come in and said we
had some trouble with our driver.

Something about double parking.

I thought Wasp could use hands, so I'll
go outside.

Next thing I know, kissing the pavement
here to be in use as a football.

Dave. Hold that, dear. Yeah, there were
three of them.

It was all over before I could get out
of the car.

It was our greaves. He said it'll be me
next time. Our greaves?

You should do him, Ray. All right.

Now, don't get excited, Ray. You have a
good night's sleep.

You can do him in the morning.

Surprise, surprise.

He's done a bunk.

Don't you ever know?

There are no secrets between us,
Princess.

Did you enjoy yourself last night?

Did you?

By the end.

I heard Daly got lucky.

The old one, I mean.

He had a couple of lucky numbers.

Daly Jr. did less well.

No doubt the odds were against him.

They still are.

And bad luck, as we know, can be
catching.

Right, I... Sorry to bother you, but
I've got a problem.

That's all right, son.

I'll leave you to sort him out.

Look, sorry to cut out on you the other
night, but somebody decided to give me a

facelift. So I see. Who was it?

Hargreaves. Now, where can I find him?

I've really no idea.

Yeah, but he works for you, doesn't he?
You must have a number for him.

I do, and it's confidential.

If you want to batter Mr Hargreaves,
you'll have to find him yourself.

There is something you can do for me
there.

Try me.

You can invite me to dinner.

Windsor Castle.

Dripping with history, that is. Indeed.

Oh, yeah, it's all gone on here, you
know.

Magna Carta, Anne Boleyn, Walter
Raleigh.

An English stream linking us with the
past.

That is what foreigners, begging your
pardon, find it hard to comprehend. We

English are surrounded by bricks and
mortar that remind us of our long and

illustrious history.

We have some quite elderly buildings in
my part of the world too, Mr Daly.

But are they open to the public, even on
bank holidays?

Queen Victoria, then an Edward, then a
George, then another couple of King

Edwards. Oh, culminating in our present
monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, of that

good name, God bless her.

The House of Windsor stretches back for
centuries, deep into the mists of time.

Only till 1917, actually.

I beg your pardon?

Yes. Up till then, the Royal House had
been known as Saxe -Coburg -Gotter.

Incumbent King George V felt it
inappropriate for the British throne to

Teutonic name whilst hostilities between
yourselves and Germany existed in the

French of France.

So he changed it.

How's it going?

He tried to tell me George V was
incumbent.

I think the man's a communist.

Thanks very much. You're welcome.

You know, I think I can honestly say
that I've never met anyone quite like

Is that so?

Yeah.

You invite me to invite you to dinner
and then treat me like... What do I

you like?

Like I was second class or something.

How should I treat you?

Well, you know, a bit of conversation
might help.

Oh, that.

I talk about me, you talk about you sort
of thing.

I tell you something about my life.

We have a drink, have a coffee, go to
bed together.

Is that the plan?

I'll get the bill.

I was born in Surrey. I went to Rodin,
left Southampton University after two

terms. My favourite colour is indigo,
and I won't make breakfast.

No, I tried to flat. He's not there.

And what is more, he's gallivanting
around in my motor.

Well, if you see him, tell him I'm
miffed.

I mean, in the normal course of events,
I would grant him a bit of leeway,

but... What do you mean, not interested?

Where you been?

No, never mind. I don't want to know.
That way I can look your mother in the

eye. Hey, what's the panic? We've had a
nibble on the waxworks. Gee's a phone

this morning. I guarantee delivery
tomorrow.

Yeah, what, Gee?

Never look a gift horse in the mouth. He
made a very good offer.

Now, he's promised to send the money
over to Winchester tonight. I want you

pick it up. Meanwhile, get back to the
lock -up and pack up the rest of the

waxworks. But, Arthur, I've just... I'll
man the fort here. Go on, off you go.

Arthur! Go on.

Hello, beautiful.

You're late.

I had some work to catch up on.

I'll get you a coffee.

That'd be nice.

How about spending a nice, relaxing
evening at my place tonight?

I can't. I'm working late.

God, so am I.

I'll get that coffee.

I didn't know you hung around with
famous people.

You made me jump.

We didn't get much time together at the
club the other night.

Maybe I could return that lunch now.

No, I've got to get to the Winchester.

Oh, great. I'll buy you a drink there.

Well, I'm meeting a guy.

It's business.

After business?

Dinner, maybe?

I think I might be having dinner with
somebody else.

I'm biting on granite here, aren't I?

And what does that mean?

Look, just answer me a question.

Have you got a girlfriend?

Look, I'm not sure.

Fine, I give in. No, listen, Marion, I
like you. You're a really good mate.

I'm flattered.

But I am sort of involved.

With that rude bitch from the jazz club
who you brought to see me singing on my

free tickets, Vanessa.

Forget it.

I'll see you around.

Cheers, Dave.

Give us the scotch, Dave.

You're not a spirit ring?

Yeah, well, I am tonight.

The man from the waxworks looking for
you. He's over in the corner.

He's not here already, is he? I was
hoping for a bit of a break.

Right.

Hugh.

I've been looking for you.

And now you've found me. See that?

That was done by boot, and I heard it
was taking its orders from you.

Let me give you some good advice.

Yeah, all right, but let's do it
outside, eh? I don't want to damage the

furniture. Now, you shift.

You're having a problem, right? No, it's
all right, Dave.

This is Mr. Hargreaves.

He hasn't got the bottle to do his own
dirty work. He has to get others to do

for him. Grow up. It wasn't me that
spoiled your pretty face. In fact, I had

nothing to do with it, as your
girlfriend can confirm.

Who?

Vanessa.

She's waiting for you at the conference
center to tell you all about it.

You're a long way from Wilson, boy.

Conference center? Yeah, what a bloke
called Argreaves.

Argreaves? Oh, my God.

Arthur.

Arthur. Let me in.

Here you are. I want to get one pair of
hands.

Vanessa? Close, but you don't win the
coconut.

What's going on here?

Tell me, son.

I'm scared from one to ten.

How lucky do you think you are?

Look, what is all this in aid of? Come
on, straight question.

How lucky do you think you are?

I'll get by.

Me, I'm a ten.

Very few of us are bad.

You, four, five, maybe higher.

Time will tell. Look, pal, what's your
game?

It's my business.

I make educated guesses as to how people
are going to do when they come into my

casino.

I don't reckon you're going to do very
well.

Choose a hand.

Blackjack's not my game.

I thought I can beat your hand.

Oh, yeah?

What's mine to take?

You've come to that.

Take your hand.

18. Pretty good.

Blackjack.

That's how lucky I am.

That's how I'm unlucky at cards.

Maybe you're lucky in love.

Tell me honestly. No, that's enough.
I've had enough of your stupid games.

got me, pal. That's where you're wrong.
You're involved in one of the heaviest

games of your life.

She's another 10.

You can tell that, can't you?

Maybe you've discussed this together.

Hello, Kenny.

What are you doing here?

Sorry to play the gooseberry. I can see
you were expecting a cosy twosome at

Loverboy. Don't even begin to think you
have the right to... Her problem is she

raises the stakes too high. She can't
quit when she's ahead, even after expert

advice.

What do you think about that, son?

I think she's old enough to make her own
decisions.

Oh, new man, huh?

Me, I'm dark ages.

Neanderthal.

And you get it all from me, and you pay.

Kenny, this doesn't impress.

Come on!

Leave it out, Kenny.

I've got nothing to fight you for.

Right. Arthur, what's occurring?

Ah, here's something to play for.

I take you a part of him. I don't mind
which.

Leave him out of it.

I like it.

Just you and me, yeah?

Right. Have I explained the handicap,
sister?

What handicap?

My advantage.

Right.

I'm not enjoying this. I'm not
surprised. That's enough.

Your boy hasn't much fight in him, has
he?

Me, I can go on all day.

Look, whatever we've done, we'll pay for
it. Just name the price. Money? You're

offering me money?

I've got money. I've got all the money I
ever need.

Still doesn't impress some people, does
it?

For God's sake, stop him.

There is no stopping him when he gets
like this. Oh, yes, there is. Just ask

to stop. Ask me nicely.

Go to hell. For God's sake.

It's like I'm going to have to do it the
hard way.

Bravo. You're a winner.

Ray? I'll be okay.

I never understand boys' games.

These rules are more simple than yours.

You're a very disturbed young woman.

Come on, Ray.

I don't like to say this, Ray, but I
could have told you right from your

Not now, I Arthur.

Maybe you're right.

Taxi!

Taxi! Come on.

You'll be sore in a moment.

Arthur, I'm in agony now.

I

just

wanted to say I'm sorry. You caught me
at a bad time.

It really doesn't matter.

It does.

That's what I'm sorry for.

I hurt someone who used to be my friend.

Who still is your friend.

Thanks, Mary.

You do it again and I'll kick your head
in.

Sir Arthur, what are you doing here?

Mr Usain leaves tomorrow.

Invited me for a farewell soiree. Yes.

To wish him luck with his future guests.

If he treats them as well as he's
treated us, I'm sure his business will

prosper. Oh, no, no. The moment I've
seen you off at the airport, I'm going

wind up Wilson Entertainment.

Why? I have a very simple view of life,
Mr. Hussain. I like to get up in the

morning, earn a few bob, and while the
sun is going down, enjoy my profits in a

club of my own with a cooling VAT and a
few well -chosen friends.

Wise philosophy.

Life's too short.

I'm going by some of the types we met up
at West End last week. It could have

been a lot shorter. Good evening, ladies
and gentlemen.

My name is Marion Prince, and tonight
I'm going to sing a song for my friend.

So you met someone who set you back on
your heels.

Goody, goody, so you met someone and now
you know how it feels.

Goody, goody, so you gave her your heart
too, just as I gave mine to you.

And she broke it in little pieces.

Now how do you do?

So you're lying awake just singing the
blues all night.

Goody, goody. So you think that love's a
barrel of dynamite.

You had it coming to you. And you don't
like it, do you? A goody, goody for him.

A goody, goody for me.

Now I hope you're satisfied. You rap.

Ah.
