We're called Silicone Valets.
But it's Valets spelt with a T.
You know, like parking valets.
Those people who park your car.
So it's SiliconeValets.
Yeah.
We're kind of a mix of Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle, with a little bit of Chemical Brothers just squeezed in there.
So it's completely unoriginal, then? But we've got our own thing goin' on.
We've added our own twist.
- What's it like? - Bit like Kraftwerk.
Hey, I've got the demo.
D'you wanna? - I'll put it on.
- Go on.
As long as it's not shite.
(PLODDING RETRO-ELECTRONICA) I've walked all around this city But I can't find myself I've walked all around this city - Who's the singer? - That'll be me.
Sounds like, er a sulky robot.
Is it a cover of a Lisa Stansfield song? Is it buggery! It's about alienation, y'know.
Urban decay.
You still living at your mother's? Down that mews? For now.
We're gonna have these films projected on us.
We've got this loop of me, 'im and Andy dressed like mannequins going down an escalator.
And what 'appens next? Nothing.
We just go back up to the top again.
I'd spend the rest of that cash sharpish, before they come and ask for it back.
'Ere.
I've got summat for you.
It's right up your mews.
- We've had our breakfast, ta.
- (LAUGHS) Bloody hell.
Whose is it? It's yours if you want it.

Too cool.

We'll take it.
Sure you don't want the, ermthe ring? Nah, I can't get it off.

Ow! God, me favourite finger! Cheers, mate.
You up for a bit of broccoli? - It's all right.
It's a vegetable, innit? - You ever tried purple sprouting broccoli? - I wouldn't want to.
- See, I think you might like it.
Let me tell you about it.
It needs a compost that's compact Come to think of it, yes, I've tried it.
- Did you like it? - No.
- You might have had a bad batch.
- No.
It were a good batch.
You know what, it were a great batch.
In fact, it was the winning batch at the World Purple Sprouting Broccoli Championships! I just fuckin' hated it! You see, it's nice with a bit of crab.
Jesus! - What happened to your fingers? - I'm allergic to veg.
You hear about them murders? People getting their hands cut off.
- Yeah, well, I've got a name for them.
- I know, I know! The Handjob Murders.
No.
The Wank Spanner Killings.

Well good to see ya.
- Hiya, Moz.
- Are you all right? - No.
It's Cartoon Head.
Well, it's really good that you come here.
What's happened to your hands now? - A nutter threw some crab through me window.
- And it pinched ya? No, it were a tinned one.
I'm havin' a really bad day meself.
'Ello.
'Ey.
Have, er you ever tried, erpurple sprouting broccoli? Yeah.
It's all right.
I told you.
There's a big significance between the difference of the shrub Soz, Derrick.
China sort of needs a bit of time to herself now.
Oh, aye? Shall we go down the Horses, then? No.
China sort of needs a bit of time to herself with me.
- I don't wanna spoil your evening.
I should go.
- You're fine.
Oh, Jesus.
Derrick, look at this.
Oh, fella, you've gotta see this.
Oh, my God! What? Thank God he's gone.
Bloke just won't take a hint.
He's got no subtlety to him at all.
(MUSIC: SLIPSTREAM'S ''EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING'') I wish I could feel Everything Thanksfor being friendly.
I always say you can't be too friendly.
- God, what a mental day.
- Oh, I know.
(SIGHS) Think I justneed to cry.
But I'm worried that if I start, I won't be able to stop.
Go on.
Fill your boots.
(GUNSHOTS) (ANNE ROBINSON ON TV) Round fourI You're up to £1,000.
(SIGHS) God, I needed that.
Sorry.
It's all right.
Neighbours are used to it by now.
Cartoon Head's been acting really weird.
First off, he was spewing up all night.
- How does that work with the mask? - Don't ask.
It's like soup coming through a sprinkler system.
Today he's been saying somebody'd poisoned him.
I don't know what to do.
- Dump him.
- I still care about him.
- Dump him.
- I want him to be all right.
Dump him.
I hardly know anything about him.
I meandoes he have a job? - What, you don't know? - What? - He's a hit man, i'nt he? - Seriously? You think he works in a bank with a face like that? Yeah (!) He'll take out one man for a grand.
Two men for a grand and a half.
Family rates on request.
God, I never knew.
Hit man I wonder if that's why he finds it difficult to commit.
I used to find it difficult to commit, but I realised that committing to someone doesn't mean that you're stuck with them.
He seems so sad.
There's been so much unhappiness andtragedy in his life.
Yeah.
He has caused most of it himself, mind.
You're right.
I shouldn't go back to 'is tonight.
No, you shouldn't.
Don't give 'im the satisfaction.
I just feel so vulnerable.
I know you do.
'Ave a biftah.
No, you're all right.
You keep it.
I'll roll us another fat one.
(TINKLY MOBILE RINGTONE) - It's Cartoon Head.
- It's probably best you don't answer it.
- I should do.
- You shouldn't.
- I'd better.
- I wouldn't.
Dump 'im.
Hello.
What do you want? No, II'm sorry.
(SHE GIGGLES) Thanks, Moz.
- You're a mate.
- Mm.
Ten minutes of Frogger .
.
and then I'll have a jodrell.
- It's not that easy.
- (MAN) Dump 'im.
- But I still care about him.
- Dump 'im.
- I want him to be OK.
- Dump 'imI Look, I gotta go.
