Oh, he's bringing over his Yankee friends from America, getting ideas a bit above his station, inn'he? Well, tell him he can own all he likes, but he's still tied to his mother's apron strings. OK? Goodnight, girls.

    [he leaves]

    Steve's Friend: You gonna tell Ron?

    Steve: I don't think I'm gonna have to. Half the fucking pub heard him.
