I feel a bit of carnage comin' on.

Right. Here's the deal.

You two lads have caused

me an awful lot of upset today,

off about me and all.

I've decided to be merciful

and not rip your f***in' heads off!

- Thanks. - But the way I see it, youse owe

me, so here's the way it's gonna go down.

Me and Zippy here are going over to

that shop to cause a bit of mayhem.

- D'you understand?

- Yeah.

What I want youse to do is stay

here and at the first sign of trouble,

you just honk the f***in' horn.

That's all. Think you can do that?

- Yeah.

- OK. That's good.

And when it's over, we're quits.

I'll even sort you out with a fix.

- Great! - Thanks, but.

- Right, Zippy? - Yeah.

Let's go.

Right.

Out, you, that side,

to stand guard.

- It's locked.

- Well, unlock it!

No, it is unlocked.

It's... just shut.

- Closed.

- What are you on about?!

- You know, the thing. For kids.

- Show me.

Ah! Mind me f***in' leg!

- Oh, f***in' child lock!

- My f***in' leg...

Climb out of the front there

to be open from the outside.

How can I climb out the front

with me hand and me leg and all?

Jesus!

I wish they'd f***in' hurry up.

My f***in' leg is killin' me.

F***in' sore, it is.

- Would you leave it alone?

- I'm not doing anythin'.

- You've got your dirty fingers

all over it. - I was just lookin'.

- Fine. Let yourself go septic.

- What?!

Your leg will go septic

if you keep touching it.

- Why?

- Because your hands are filthy.

They're not filthy.

flats. - I think you took a wrong turn.

that, you'd be at the flats.

I'm takin' it round the back

of the flats. Nice and quiet.

Round the back, no fuss.

See who's around.
