:15:02
But I'm getting good vibes
about this interview.

:15:05
Seems to me it's going
pretty well, eh?

:15:09
Thank you, Mr Murphy.
:15:11
We'll let you know.
:15:13
The pleasure was mine.
:15:15
Spud had done well.
:15:17
He made me proud.
Fucked up good and proper.

:15:23
Picture the scene.
:15:24
The other fucking week there,
:15:26
down the Volley
with Tommy playing pool.

:15:29
I'm playing like Paul Newman,
:15:31
giving the boy a tanning.
:15:33
It comes to the last shot,
:15:36
the deciding ball
of the tournament.

:15:38
I'm on the black,
he looks biscuit-arsed.

:15:41
When this hard cunt comes in.
:15:44
Obviously fucking
fancied himself, like.

:15:46
Starts staring at me.
:15:47
Looking right fucking at me
:15:49
as if to say, "Come ahead."
:15:52
You ken me.
:15:53
I'm not the type
that goes looking for bother

:15:57
but I had a pool cue
and he'd get it in his puss!

:16:02
So I squares up, casual like.
:16:04
What does the hard cunt do?
The so-called hard cunt?

:16:09
Shites it!
:16:10
Puts down his drink and gets
the fuck out of there.

:16:15
And after that...
well, the game was mine.

:16:21
And that was it.
:16:23
That was Begbie's story.
:16:25
Or Begbie's version
of the story.

:16:28
Later, I got the truth
from Tommy.

:16:31
You always got the truth
from Tommy.

:16:34
He never lied,
never took drugs,

:16:37
never cheated on anyone.
:16:38
It was Wednesday morning.
:16:40
We were in the Volley,
playing pool. That's true.

:16:44
But Begbie is playing
absolutely fucking gash.

:16:47
His hangover's so bad,
:16:48
he can hardly hold
the fucking cue!

:16:52
I'm doing my best to lose,
trying to humour him.

:16:56
But every time I touch a ball,
I pot something.
