I know! Can you believe that? I might be getting back on the road! Anyway Be up to see you again the first of next month.
Eh? I love you too.
You're a creepy bastard! How? Talking to Betty like that as if she was still alive.
What's wrang with that? You're the creepy bastard! How's that? Standing there, silent "Oh, look at me mourning!" Better than talking to the bloody deid! Leaving a gap like she'll answer, like she's still here! She is still here - in my heart.
Birthday card pish! Ignore him, my sweet! We'll soon be together.
Jesus! What's that? Well put! Yes, he is an arsehole! Shut up! What's wrong with you? This is how it's gonnae be! Me and my beloved lying out together.

Right.
What will you offer for the car? She says £250 so£100.
Eh? Ach, away ye go, ya tightwad! £100's a lot of money to a widow! Aye, in 1940, maybe! It's an insult! Insult, nothing! Her man's been deid a fortnight.
Her heid'll be up her arse! Aye? Aye.
"Oh, oh, oh, my man's away! "£100? Aye, I'll take it, cos I'm a widow and I've gone stupid! Thank you!" She's no' in.
Do you know when she'll be back? No.
There was a note in Navid's saying she was selling her man's car.
That's a good motor, that! - I might buy that off her myself.
- That's a rare idea, Frankie.
Then you could take it apart and leave all the wee bits lying about, ya manky bastard! - What was that? - Nothing! Whit ye daeing, spitting at me? Shut up! Here, you! Did I get grogger on ye? Aye, ye did! Sorry.
