Yeah, they want The Youngers.
That means Davina, as well.
- You need her.
- Long for that, man.
You were feeling our stuff way before she come about.
That's cos you were two youths doing a ting in your bedroom.
How could I hate on that? But then Davina came along and that's when your sound went up a level.
Ash, look, I am not working with that girl again.
I'm I can't do it, I'm sorry.
See, easy innit? Hmm.
By the way, I'm free most days this week so if you need people for extra shifts, just bell me.

Anyway, what you, um What you saying about Davina? To be honest, I'm not sure.
We can't squash this opportunity, bruv.
- Well, can you squash it with Davina? - I'm going to do what's necessary.
I dunno man, look what happened last time.
Fam, you can trust me.
Yeah, I saw you two this morning, all touchy-feely.
I done told you, she was being rude! Bare patting me on my shoulder like I'm five, so I had to do it back.
I should have sued her for assault.
[HE LAUGHS.]
Assault? Yeah, GBH or ABH, either one.
You'd be my witness though, innit? Put it there.
The deal's done.
Ash, we're all good, man.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, man.
All right, all right, that's good.
Cos you men now have to convince Davina.
She's at her workplace, so get to steppin'.

And? Ah, forget this! Where are you going? I quit! Ash, you don't understand, she's changed.
She's even more stush than before, she's like Like a diva! That's exactly what she is and that's what we need! You sure you can't talk to the A&R brother and let him take you as a two piece? You could call yourself the Young Guys.
