Theresa and Philip arrive and enter 10 Walford Square: debts!
Exterior 10 Walford Square
[Theresa and Phil enter Number 10.]
VO
Theresa:
Are you coming in, Phil, or hanging about out there?
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:
[whistles jokily]
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]
