MUSIC: Here Comes The Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze.
What you doing!?! Get it pumped up! I was a very naughty boy to this song, many moons ago in Okinawa.
Nah, na-na-na-nah Na-na-na-nah, na-na-nah na-na-nah Na-na-na-nah This is it, here we go, two-three-four! HE SINGS ALONG POORLY, MOSTLY MAKING NOISES INSTEAD OF LYRICS Here comes the hotstepper Murderer I'm the lyrical gangster Murderer Pick up the crew in-a de area Murderer Still love you like that Murderer Come on! No, no - we don't die Yes, we multiply Anyone test will hear the fat lady sing Here comes the hotstepper Murderer I'm the lyrical gangster Murderer Come on, dead bodies! You're boring.
And that's why you'll never beat the Japanese for efficiency.
Hey.
Did you talk to Dave Thomson about getting me some cover on the counter? I did.
I did, he's all over it, Ray.
He's going to get it sorted.
You said that three weeks ago.
I'll chase him up.
Trust me, it's going to get sorted.
I'm up to me eyes in it since George collapsed.
Are you listening? Look, I'm listening Hey! Ray.
If he says he'll sort it, he'll sort it, all right? 'Ark at Amy Winehouse here! He's got enough on his plate, this fella.
He's got to organise Christmas.
Fuck Christmas, I'm spread out too thin down there.
There's no need for that, OK? How dare you eff Christmas? It's only ruddy fish, Ray! There's plenty more of 'em in the sea.
Only fish? You've got no idea, have you? No.
I've got 30 lines coming in every single day, love - I've got to gut 'em and get them cleaned up.
And its all about presentation.
Cos if they can't see it, they can't buy it.
Eye level is buy level.
And they're not just buying fish! It's personality.
I've always said it - it's 30% fish, 70% charisma.
(Bollocks.
) It's not bollocks! And it's got to be fresh.
Cos if they can smell it before they can see it, we've got a big problem! (Well, we've got a big problem) Come again? That was just I was just getting a drink.
Fishmongery is an art form.
It's a skill.
Fish is in my blood.
Ugh Me father was a fishmonger, me father's father was a fishmonger.
Three generations of fish.
Good cod(!) Yeah, you're laughing now, missy, but when I go, that'll be it.
Finito benito.
We're a dying breed! There'll always be fish, but there won't always be fishmongers.
It's a sad fact.
Kids today, they don't want fishmongery as a trade.
They want Ugg boots and a wrap of whizz.
Oh, shut it, will you? You're giving me a haddock.
Oh, yeah, "haddock", very funny.
Grow up! Just calm down, t'pair of you, will you? It's him! He can't hake a joke! Oh, I can, flower, but I've got buttons and you're pushing 'em.
All right Mr Crabby.
Just ignore her, Stin Ignore her, Ray.
She's leathered.
I'm not! It's him.
Moby Dickhead.
You're the Moby Dickhead, Worzel! Just calm down, t'pair of you! I'm getting a bloody haddock meself.
So am I all right for a lift home? Ha! Er I don't think there'll be enough room.
Why? Erm We've got to pick up a prescription.
Prescription? For me.
Yeah, she's got to pick up her prescription.
Well, how big are your tablets? Oh, they're not You can't ask a lady that, Ray, play the game.
Yeah - mind that, they're lady things.

Don't know how I'm going to cope without her.
I know it sounds dead selfish and everything, but I really hope she's homesick, and has to come back soon.
Don't look at me like that.
Give her a chance! She's not even taken off yet.
I know.
But I'm going to miss her! Flippin' heck.
Hey, how did your date go? Oh He wasn't even Japanese! Furious! After I'd learnt the language as well.
Oh, no.
Where were he from? Rochdale! Rochdale?! Yeah! His name wasn't even Simon.
Well, what made you think it was? Well, he'd shortened it to Si.
Fair enough.
But why the oriental? Cos his username was Jap Si.
Jap's eye?! I know.

I think you're wasting your bloody time.
Well, I haven't got any time to waste.
I've told you me clock's ticking.
I'm not going to meet someone sitting on me arse.
It's stupid, there's nothing wrong with you.
Well, we all need someone.
I've told you - I don't.
I don't believe you.
You've had girlfriends in the past.
Yeah.
I have.
That's exactly why I know I don't need anybody.
Women, they just mess you about at the end of the day.
Like who? All of you.
You're nuts.
Look at Anna.
She dumped me and then came back six months later, said she'd changed her mind.
Which one was that? Was she the one you went to Malta with? No.
She went to uni and went off with someone else.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The one that you thought you were in love but you were sick on your hand.
Threw up on my hand in Woolworths.
So did Charlotte Was it Charlotte - did SHE dump you? Erm No, that were a bit of a misunderstanding, that.
How come? We were living together and things had You were living together?! Yeah.
Really? Yeah! Must have been serious.
Were you engaged? Were you?! Yeah.
You're a little dark horse, you.
I never knew that.
Never told you.
What happened? Had you set a date? No, we never got that far.
What happened to the ring? Er Think she's still got it.
Bitch.
Bit strong! Anyway, I never felt it was appropriate asking for it back, given the circumstances.
Why? What happened? Er We just we just hadn't been getting on.
Me dad rang one night for one of his chats.
He loved Charlotte, thought t'world of her.
He were always mithering - "When are you going to set a date, you two?" I don't know Anyway, me dad knew something were up, he said he could always tell in me voice.
And I just told him we hadn't been getting on, and we'd been rowing You and your dad? No, me and Charlotte! Keep up.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway - you know, we just I loved Charlotte, I just wasn't IN love with her.
It just didn't feel right, you know what I mean? And you just keep ignoring it and you carry on like you do and We'd got a house, we'd got engaged, but it just felt like we were going through the motions and I always felt removed.
Like I were playing a part in someone else's life.
That's t'only way I can explain it.
Wow.
So why did you split up, then? Well, I told my dad all of that, and the answer machine recorded the entire conversation.
No! Straight up.
It clicked on when he rang, recorded the lot.
I went out to work, Charlotte came home, saw the light flashing, played it back and the rest, as they say, is history.
Shit a brick! Exactly.
That must have been awful.
It was.
Oh, God, I were devo'd.
Didn't eat for three weeks.
Not for you, for her! What? Well - I didn't know it were being recorded! Poor Charlotte.
I bet she was heartbroken, the poor girl.
Imagine coming home and hearing your fiance slagging you off.
I wasn't proud of it! Awful.
I was upset too, you know.
This is what I mean God, you Anyway, it were probably for t'best in t'long run.
I must admit, it did feel like a weight had been lifted.
Typical selfish man! Selfish?! You're the one waiting for her best mate to come home before she's even bloody taken off on a plane.
Completely different.
It's not completely different! Yes, it is! This is women - you're nuts, the lot of you, this is why you're better off on your own.
Out of it.
Bollocks to love.

He were always mithering - "When are you going to set a date, you two?" I don't know Anyway, me dad knew something were up, he said he could always tell in me voice.

Like I were playing a part in someone else's life.
That's t'only way I can explain it.
Wow.
So why did you split up, then? Well, I told my dad all of that, and the answer machine recorded the entire conversation.
No! Straight up.
It clicked on when he rang, recorded the lot.
I went out to work, Charlotte came home, saw the light flashing, played it back and the rest, as they say, is history.
Shit a brick! Exactly.
That must have been awful.
It was.
Oh, God, I were devo'd.
Didn't eat for three weeks.
