JOE
Oh you wanna stop that right in its tracks, Baz, let her know who’s the boss.
Joe makes a “back of his hand” slapping gesture.
TREV
Oh listen to Clair Rayner here, never had a bird in his life, but all of a sudden he’s a fuckin expert.
JOE
Course I’ve had birds, man and I’ll tell you something else … they know their place.
Joe presses his thumb down hard on the side of the van.
MALC
Oh yeah, one word from you and they do what they fucking like.
(Laugh).
JOE
(Tongue in cheek)
No Malcolm. You’re wrong I’m afraid. You see the women in my life come to me for one thing, and one thing only … sex … that’s all.
Trev, Barry and Malc laugh.
joe (cont’d)
Hey I’m not joking, I’m known as the Blackburn Casanova
…Laugh…
You might laugh but when I’m doing the business, if there’s not someone there to drag em out from under me, they get shagged twice.
All the lads are now laughing, including Joe.
TREV
Ok, listen I’ve just come past the Flame, there’s coppers everywhere, so not a word about last night to nobody. Without the bandit they can’t point the finger at anyone.
The lads nod.
