Eddie: Hang on, hang on hang on hang on. I've got your real present here.
Richie: It's a piece of
paper. It is a small piece of
paper.
Eddie: Read it.
Richie: "Madame Swish, three-thirty." Oh! Eddie! You haven't? Oh, what a
pal you are. "Madame Swish". Ooh-
err! Hohh, God, at last I'm really going to do it. And on my
birthday as well! Ohhhggh, I wonder what she's like?
Eddie: She's a dead cert
mate, a real stayer.
Richie:Really?
Eddie:Yeah, she'll come first.
Richie: What, before me? Good grief, that's quick. So she'll think I'm
great! Oh, what a pal you are! And it's all paid for?
Eddie: Um, not exactly, I need a tenner.
Richie: A tenner.
Right. That's quite
cheap, isn't it?
Eddie: Er, well, no, in that case it's a tenner each way.
Richie: Well, how many ways are there?
Eddie: Well, you'll come first, second or third, won't you?
Richie: Well how many
people are going to be there?
Eddie: Well, a few thousand.
Richie: What?
Eddie: Well it's Kempton.
Richie:Kempton? I can't get down to Kempton by three-thirty!
Eddie: You don't have to

Eddie: Well what's illegal about betting on a horse?
Richie: A horse?

Richie: Madame Swish is, is, is a horse?
Eddie: Yeah! Well what did you think it was?
Richie: Oh no, nothing, nothing. Just checking.
Eddie:I have given you a red hot
