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,

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.
