Mr George, help us.

- You f***ing pig!
F***!
Nadia.
# Over bridge of sighs
# To rest my eyes in shades of green
# Under dreaming spires
# To ltchycoo Park
that's where I've been
- # What did you do there?
- # I got high
- # What did you feel there?
- # Well, I cried
- # But why the tears there?
- # Tell you why
# It's all too beautiful
# It's all too beautiful
# It's all too beautiful

Hi. My name's George Cinders and I'm
the President of Palisade Defence.
We're hitting a home run for freedom
and a time out for terror.
We work hard to bring you
up-to-the-minute technology.
Memo. "Must congrat George
on terrific performance."
Er, no, delete "terrific",
make that "fabulous performance".
For 75 years we've been supplying
the world's greatest nations
with the world's latest weaponry.
So when you see this symbol,
you know you're in safe hands.
We have offices in New York,
London, Tokyo, all over the world.
Oh!
Whoo-hoo!
Jesus!
Go on, girl. Go on. Yep. Yep.
- What are you doing?
- Ordering myself a birthday present.
Alright, team, can we have
a little less talking, please?
Does nobody care
about our marketing strategy?
I care.
Or what about
our CRM- 114 landmine,
the Platoon Buster?
"What Ordinance?" magazine
calls it
"The most exciting development
in concealed termination in years."
Weapons you can trust.
Anti-personnel devices
you can rely on. That's trust.
That's reliability. That's Palisade.
As I speak,
our team of dedicated individuals
are touring Eastern Europe,
bringing the Palisade message to you.
- They couldn't be more excited.
- Richard,
why are all the actors
in this video white?
- They're not all white.
- Blonde, actually.
It's just a coincidence, that's all.
If they were all black,
that would be a coincidence, too?
Look... Look,
what is your problem exactly?
You've made a recruitment video
for the Hitler Youth.
Ha!
- Richard, Richard.
- Oh, there!
There you go, you see?
What's he, an albino?
Here's the P40 version five.
Oh, yeah, OK, that's very sensitive.
- It's not funny, Harris.
Freedom, democracy, justice.
With Palisade Defence,
we'll win the war on terror.
- I bloody hope not.
- Thank you, Harris.
# What will we do there?
# We'll get high
- # What will we touch there?
- # We'll touch the sky
- # But why the tears there?
- # I'll tell you why
# It's all too beautiful
# It's all too beautiful
# It's all too beautiful
Something's wrong with the electrics
in there. There's a short circuit.
- Fire officer, coming through.
- Sit down.
Officer sitting.
- No smoking!
- Yes, I know.
No cigarettes!
Bob Marley! Bob Marley!
Billy, what's the plan?
George should be at the lodge
with the food.
- Good. And the paintball gear?
- All in the brown bag.
- OK, good.
I'll give you $50 if you stop eating.
a security guard at the road show.
I gave him 20 euros and look
how much he's given me. Look.
- They look horrible.
- That's cos they're magic mushrooms.
How do you know they're not
off the side of the road?
No, they're proper.
You can tell by the stalks. Look.
- Eat those, you're gonna go crazy.
- I think I've had these ones before.
They give you
a nice chilled-out one.
And if you're wrong?
I'll be somewhere over the rainbow
getting f***ed by the Tin Man.
- Hey, what the f***'s going on?
- You alright?
- You alright, Jill?
- Yeah.
- The road's blocked.
I might do in 20 minutes.
We can go this way.
I don't understand
what you're saying. The road is fine.
Yeah, well, the two roads
meet up again. Look.
It's just a detour!
Go on, Richard.
Alright, that's quite enough.
I won't stand for this unprofessional
behaviour. You hear me?
Now, you are hired to drive,
and drive you will, buddy.
Is that clear?
Great management skills, Dick.
Really, really world class.
I know it doesn't appear far on the
map, but it all depends on the scale.
- Well, what is the scale?
- It's not on here.
Well, an inch is usually a mile,
isn't it?
- No.
- Well, we'll assume that it is.
Well, we can assume,
but it's probably safer not to.
Every map I've seen,
an inch is a mile.
Are you saying I can't read maps?
No. I'm sure you have
an excellent knowledge of maps.
It's just that, well,
an inch could be two miles or ten.
I'm saying goodbye.
I'm going back to the hotel.
- You're doing no such thing.
- Then show me the lodge.
The lodge is a mile down that road.
Hang on. You're not listening to me.
I am not walking anywhere.
Don't squabble, gang. It's supposed
to be a team-building weekend.
Tell Richard. He seems to think
we're on a walking holiday.
Whoa. Wait a sec.
Stop the coach! Stop.
Hey, come on, let's talk about this.
Stop the bus. F***ing hell!
Stop the...
Come on!
F*** it!
What was that?
Sorry.
Probably just a bear.
- Just a bear?
- There are no bears in Hungary.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Well, that's assuming
we're still in Hungary.
If we've crossed the border
into Romania, then there are bears.
If we're in Serbia,
then I'm not sure.
Well, that's really interesting. Are
bears required to stop at borders?
Is there some sort of
passport control for bears?
- You'd better watch your tone.
- Or what?
- Oh, please!
- No. Or what?
- That sounded further away.
- There.
If it was a bear, which it wasn't,
it's moved on. Come on.
I really think we should stick
to the main road.
No, this way is much quicker.
Come on.
I'm with Richard.
Have I pissed myself?
- What?
- I feel damp.
Well, you look alright.
I'm not gonna touch you.
- Have I pissed my pants?
- I don't think so.
- What's wrong with you?
- I feel all damp.
You're fine. You're fine.
OK, so, er, working on the assumption
that an inch is not a mile,
what's the worst-case scenario?
- An inch is a thousand miles.
That's Steve.
If he's messing around,
he's in big trouble.
Oh, no.
We should stay with the bags.
Steve, are you alright, mate?
Jesus.
Steve?
I saw someone.
Who?
I don't know.
What happened?
The weirdest thing's just happened,
yeah?
I needed a slash,
so I've pulled me trousers down,
cos I felt a little bit damp
and I didn't want to get a rash.
I was about to have a piss
and I saw a geezer with a balaclava
and a suitcase.
No, more of a travel bag.
- So, you've come over...
- Steve.
- Yes?
- The mushrooms.
- What mushrooms?
- You ate them. You're high.
- Look after him.
- OK, yeah.
Listen.
Now, I know we're mates, but, erm,
if you look at my cock one more time,
I'm gonna kick off.
What are you talking about? I have
not once looked at your winkie.
You turn around.
OK, everybody, prepare to smile.
- Isn't it wonderful?
- It's a dump.
- What do you expect, the Hilton?
- The Hilton would be good.
- We're in the country.
- You're not gonna stay here?
- Right now, I'd sleep in a cave.
- That's the spirit.
