He says, "Granddad,

I want to tell you something".

I say, "You're not getting

married, are you?"

He went, "No.

We're going into business together".

Different generation, Ray.

No angles except for that.

All comes down to a bit of dough.

What's so funny?

It never used to be just about the money.

It used to be about loyalty, being

staunch. -Being staunch, yeah.

Oh, you're so f***ing cynical, ain't ya?

I'm telling ya, the modern disease

of this society - cynicalism!

I'll get it. Don't worry.

You wait and see the other motor.

You got four minutes.

In, bosh and out. Four minutes.

STOP! STOP!

Get out!

Move! F***ing stay there!

Get over! Round there!

Get on the f***ing floor!

Get in the f***ing corner!

Get in the f***ing corner now! Move!

You! On the floor! Down!

Out! F***ing stay there!

Get on the f***ing floor!

Three!

Four more in the corner!

Out! Get f***ing out there! Move!

Now! Get in the f***ing corner! Move!

Get f***ing out!

Get in the corner!

Don't be a f***ing hero!

Two!

Get your head down!

One!

That's it! Let's go!

Leave it!

Stay there! Don't move!

I'm not leaving all this money!

Leave it!

Where's Julie? F*** it!

Let's go! Move it!

There he is! Get in!

- Get f***ing in! Leave it!

- Oh, bollocks!

Leave it! Leave it, you tosser!

Four armed men in a Range Rover

now travelling at high speed.

Men are considered extremely dangerous.

Four minutes!

Four, five. What difference does it make?

Ram raid on security building.

Four armed men in Range Rover car

are heading west.

The men are considered

extremely dangerous.

What are you listening to?

- What do you want, Stevie?

- What's your favourite music?

Dance, I suppose. It's all just noise,

so you don't have to think.

I prefer reading. This one's not bad.

It's about these two different Earths.

The man in the book, the hero...

I don't believe it.

We might as well have done a post office.

How much is there?

There's supposed to be a minimum

of two mill. Two f***ing mill.

Where's the big notes? The fifties?

- All that risk for f*** all?

- It looks like bundles.

- No, it ain't bundles!

- You stupid little tosspot!

How much is there?

344,780, to be exact.

That's better than nothing.

- Two f***ing mill. I don't believe it.

- How much is that per man?

68,000.

You're forgetting something, Ray.

My expenses.

How much is that? -It's nothing

to do with you, you little prick.

It's 40 grand.

- That's a bit strong.

- Especially as I found the bit of work.

Granted. But who got the flop sorted,

the lock-ups, the truck?

The battering ram?

All the logistics, that was me!

So, 344,780, minus 40 grand...

304,780 divided by five...

60,956.

- We have the technology.

- Let's take this item by item.

Look!

My wedge, total of it, comes to 100,956!

Now, is someone calling me a liar?

No.

- You wanna say something, Mouth?

- No. He's just disappointed, like all of us.

Next time...

we'll get it sorted out beforehand

exactly what the expenses are.

- Fair enough, Julie?

- Fair enough.

Dave?

Yeah. It's not what I was hoping for,

but in the circumstances...

Just one more thing...

You just called me Julie.

You know I don't like that.

- No offence intended.

- None taken. Just don't do it again, OK?

Steve, enough.

Never, ever...

point a gun

at the people you're working with.

40 grand?

What about 20?

See? He's a crank. He won't ever forget.

Steve, you and Jason take off.

Leave the money. If they stop you,

you won't have anything to show.

What?

He's right, son. It's too risky.

We'll bring your dough to you later.

- What about Julie?

- His name's Julian.

- See you at Bill and Linda's?

- Split up outside.

Funny how things in life never work out

the way you expect, eh?

We've had worse, Dave. A lot worse.

It's easy for you to say,

especially as you're getting double.

I don't think I heard you right.

- Stevie's bit...

- What?

- You're not putting 60 grand...

- Stevie is getting his dough!

All right, I apologise!

I'm just a bit gutted, that's all.

With the stunt this crank's pulled,

we're within our rights to top him.

Seat belt.

- It's OK.

- Sweet. OK.

I got it. Are they on us?

Jesus Christ, I can't do this any more.

Come on, Dave. Take it easy.

We're in the clear.

60 grand to call your own.

I was expecting a lot more.

- You just have to keep on working.

- I don't want to keep working.

15, Ray, for me expenses!

Shut up!

- Can you hear me? I'm getting cramp!

- Shut it, Julie.

Julian! How many times

have I got to tell you?

All right. I'll overlook that, Ray. This is

not the time to have a row. 15's fair.

All right, 12.

Ten! I can't go no lower than that!

Ray, we're all mates.

More like family, really.

Ray?

All right, lads. I've had enough.

Give me a wide berth on that one.

Oh, hello, love. That's a nice dog!

Come here, boy!

You ain't still got the hump with me?

How much did you spend?

Tell me the truth.

Eight and a half.

There's ten.

God bless you, lads.

I knew you wouldn't runt me.

There's your money.

We're gonna forget all about this. -Yeah,

forgive and forget. That's my motto.

I really hope you've done the right thing.

Yeah. I'll see you later.

Potty.

Totally potty.

With this molecular transference,

the hero,

who's already been to the parallel Earth,

comes back and tells people about

these inventions for growing more food...

Oh, hello, Ray. How are you?

Linda, how have you been?

Don't get old. That's my advice.

How do these authors

think these things up, Ray?

Come on, then, puss.

You're all right about this?

Yeah, yeah. The usual place, Stevie.

You know the score, Bill. Don't look inside.

- Well, I already know it's hooky.

- That's not the point.

Homeless people enjoyed a roof

over their heads...

and hot meals over Christmas...

If they find the stuff - they won't -

but if they do,

you can tell them you had no idea.

- How's the health, Bill?

- The lungs aren't too kosher.

Listen...

Here you go. Take it.

- You don't have to do that.

- I know.

The Palm Tree.

Yeah, it's a party for an old pal.

Come on, Connie. You'll like it.

I'm not sure. I'll think about it.

Tell me you'll come. Tell me!

Maybe.

OK. Bye.

- I hear someone had it off in Hounslow.

- Did they?

- Nothing too heavy?

- Usual Mickey Mouse stuff.

Linda, I'll see you soon, darling.

Take care now.

Give my love to Alice when you see her.

Take care. See you later.

- Have you ever met one, Ray?

- One what?

An author.

Stupid!

Look after that for Jason.

Hello, Jason. All right?

All right? How are you doing?

Hello, Steve.

- Good night, Sonny.

- Good night, darling.

Ray! I didn't think you was coming.

- No need!

- Nice to see you, Sonny.

Hello, Stevie.

Still in Mensa? Dave just got here an' all.

Dave, get 'em in, will ya?

All right, Steve.

Lovely bit of work.

Dave asked if I wanted a taste, but

I don't know. Maybe I've lost me bottle.

- I don't think so.

- I hope not.
