Theresa:

Interior 10 Walford Square


Phil:

Bloomin’ ‘eck, Tezza, look at these pictures. All right geezers.


Theresa:

All bar one.


(she looks down and sees envelopes on the mat)

(Close up, envelopes)

Gawd, bills! He’s only gone and left bills.


Phil:

Sheesh, the cheek of it. Well we’re not paying, Tezza.


Theresa:

Look at this! It’s bloomin’ trillions. He’s just split and left us with this. What a scam.


Phil:

I thought you said George sorted it.


Theresa:

Yeah, that’s what we said down the Vic but it don’t mean it’s true.


Phil:

Now what? Where’s George?


Theresa:

I dunno. Don’t ask me.


Phil:

But, look Tezza, we haven’t got the readies to pay this.


Theresa:

I know, I know but the point is, we don’t. Wonga will sort it. And if Wonga won’t sort it, I know...[pause] something else.


Phil:

Mmm?


Theresa:

Easing.

[she winks, and does gesture of a printing machine printing out notes]


Phil:

And to think George and Dave was going on and on about Gordon dumping on us and now it’s them.


Theresa:

Shhh, we can’t be seen saying that sort of thing. We keep face, here, Phil. We manage, we sort.


Phil:

What? With Boris in the house? No one’s going to be fooled with that, Tezza.


Theresa:

You know the one about the tent, Phil. Better in looking out, than out looking in.


Phil:

Looking?


Theresa:

[winks]
