But if I'm passing and I see somebody needs a lift, I just stop.

Hello, Winston.
Oh! Should youse two no' be sittin' doon? Eh? I'm just sayin' Shut up.
We heard ye.
What ye sayin'? I'm talkin' to the two old pensioners that just got aff the Dial-A-Bus! What of it? If we got a taxi Ye'd step oot a taxi wi' yer dignity intact.
But the Dial-A-Bus is for decrepit auld dafties! No, it isnae.
That's plenty.
Winston's right, Victor.
Have you looked at the faces on that bus? Nothin' going on but the rent.
"Oh, we're on the Dial-A-Bus! We're on the Dial-A-Bus! Ho-ho-ho!" See if you look above the driver? There's a destination.
It says "crematorium"! Shut up! It's a bus like any other bloody bus! No, it isn't.
It's a nicely-painted coffin on wheels.
That's yer first step to getting planted! Say what you like.
It's a service.
There's always a service before the funeral! You should take a leaf out of my book.
Get some exercise.
Get a bike.
Is that yours, eh? Aye.
Halfords.
Ten speed.
I'm getting fit, lads.
Gaunie cycle round the countryside.
Brewery's sending in a temp.
I've spent too long stuck in here festering.
Breathin' in your second-hand smoke.
Good luck tae ye.
Aye, very nice indeed.
Only wan thing missing - a wee bell.
Or ye should get a wee set of streamers.
Course, that bike'll no dae ye.
How? Ye don't want a crossbarthat goes along like that.
You want one that goes doon like that.
That way when you get off it ye'll no' hurt yer fanny.
Right, Navid, that's the van all gassed up.
Thanks, Tam.
What? Why are you awkwardly lingering? Am I? Oh, aye.
I've changed my mind.
We're not going cash and carry the day.
Aw, Navid! That's whit I filled the van up for.
I've been looking forward to this.
Could barely sleep last night! What an empty, hollow, dull, miserable life you lead, Tam, that you could get such a boner at the thought of going to the cash and carry! We'll go Tuesday.
Oh, Navid.

How? That was an hour ago I telt them to get their arses down here for some free drink.
Still no' showed up.
That's no' like them.
Here, maybe their Dial-A-Bus has got a flat tyre.
Are ye sure ye know what you're doin' here, Winston? Listen, Boaby's no' back in here tae the morra.
Even if that boy was tae say, "The boss was in.
" "What boss?" "Harvey Gallagher.
" Boaby would spend a week chasing his tail looking for someone that doesnae exist.
Besides, it's hardly the crime of the century.
A couple of free drinks for a couple of friends.
# Well, now go! Walk out the door! # Just turn around now, cos you're not welcome any more # Aren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyes? But I'll survive I will survive Why are they stopping? Don't know.

You got a better idea? Here, oot ma way! Please remain seated while the bus is in motion! Motion, motion, calamine lotion! Hello, Davie.

That's all very well, but we were all terrified! Aye, I'm really sorry.
Gaunie call the cops? I suppose everyone's entitled to one mistake.
But listen, Davie, you get back and have a rest.
You'll feel better after a wee break.
Aye, I'm sure I will.
Nice shop this, eh, Boaby? Aye.
If ye like that sort of thing.

Here, maybe their Dial-A-Bus has got a flat tyre.
Are ye sure ye know what you're doin' here, Winston? Listen, Boaby's no' back in here tae the morra.
Even if that boy was tae say, "The boss was in.
" "What boss?" "Harvey Gallagher.
" Boaby would spend a week chasing his tail looking for someone that doesnae exist.
Besides, it's hardly the crime of the century.
A couple of free drinks for a couple of friends.
