Adventures of a Taxi Driver Page #9

---

You said we had stolen goods.

What sort of people do you think we are?

Accusing us of being criminals.

We are respectable.

I have never done anything criminal

in my life. I work in a supermarket.

- Nikki.

- And as for Joe. Well, he's a taxi driver

and Peter is, well...

And as for Tom, well, you could hardly

call him a criminal. He's a mechanic.

- Nikki...

- And Nikki,

- well, she's respectable.

- She's a stripper. - Nikki!

And so the last thing you could ever find

in this place would be stolen property.

Just been visiting Tom. Poor bastard.

Got five years. Him and his mates.

I thought I was going to go down myself

at one point.

But as I explained to them,

I was a victim of the circumstances.

And they let me off with a caution.

Mind you, I think they were glad to see

the back of me,

'cause Carol was pestering

the life out of them.

Nikki got out of it all right. Probation.

First offence.

Tom's asked me

to keep an eye on her for him.

That's a favour I shan't mind doing.

Lost me a lot of time, though,

all this business with the law.

Lost me a place to live and all.

Guess where I've ended up?

Nothing like

home cooking, is there?

Not like your home cooking, there isn't.

Carol rang up. Said she'd be round at 6:00.

You were taking her out.

Oh, yeah. That's really lumbered me

in it, that has.

I suppose the only good thing

that's come out of this is you.

Getting off on probation.

Really shook you up,

that brush with the law.

Good thing, too.

Turned over a new leaf, you have.

You still eat anything that

lies still on a plate though, don't you?

So, you've learnt your lesson.

I'm glad to see it.

Good to see you going straight.

Well, I'm off. Where's my fares book?

Bloody hell!

Here, don't you bloody swear in front

of the baby. Teaches her bad habits.

Hello, darling.

Which bridge do you want this time?

Post Office Tower, please.
