TREV
I’ll tell you why you’re lifting the bandit, cos you’ve got the shoes for it, haven’t you? It’s easier for you … You’re already three inches off the ground.
He does not understand Trev’s logic, but assumes he is right.Trev turns and winks at the other lads. He grabs two BUCKETS from the van.He gives one to Malc.
TREV (to malc)
Follow me.
They both scramble down a grass banking that leads to the towpath.
EXT. CANAL TOWPATH – DAWN.
TREV(To Malc)
As soon as it breaks open, fill the buckets and we’re off.
MALC
Ok.
TREV(Loud whisper)
Ok, we’re clear, throw it over.
EXT. CANAL BRIDGE – DAWN.
Joe and Barry are looking over the bridge.Struggling they lift the fruit machine.
BARRY(To Joe)
Hang on a minute.
The lads put the fruit machine down. Joe thinks Barry just needs a breather. He watches in disbelief as Barry fumbles in his pocket and pulls out a pound coin. He stands in front of the machine as he would in a bar.Pauses and then puts the coin in the slot.His forehead falls on to the machine and he realizes the true extent of his fruit machine addiction.
BARRY(Close to tears)
Bastard machines, bastard machines.
