It's a clash between... me and them.
:02:05
"A negative and destructive influence,"
Mr Garden.

:02:09
Are they right?
:02:11
Well, if you think that
remembering a client's first name

:02:15
is less important than
claiming generous expenses,

:02:18
then, yes, they're right.
:02:20
If it's best for a client who's
just left prison for the 14th time

:02:24
to be passed on to
yet another department,

:02:27
then, yes, they're right.
:02:30
But I've seen over 1,000 clients
and I believe every single one...

:02:35
Of these 1,000,
how many are now going straight?

:02:39
Three.
:02:41
Simon Garden was an inspiration.
:02:43
My first day out,
he gave me a blank sheet of paper

:02:46
and he said, "That's your future.
:02:49
"You can write and apply for a job
or you can wipe your arse on it."

:02:53
And I said, "I'm not afraid
to get my hands dirty."

:02:56
Before I met Simon,
I was thievin' and hitting people.

:03:00
But now...
:03:02
I'm a fishmonger.
:03:04
It's another string to me bow.
:03:06
12 months ago, I was in prison.
:03:08
Now I'm a sub-service
support network supervisor

:03:11
providing PC, Mac
and mainframe infrastructure

:03:15
with online E-task back-up.
:03:16
Not many people can say that.
:03:19
Do you have anything to add
regarding Mr Garden?

:03:23
He is annoying.
:03:25
- It's true.
- He is annoying.

:03:28
We talked to your clients, Mr Garden.
:03:30
They're good people. I used to say,
:03:32
"You're halfway up a mountain.
Crime is the easy path to the bottom.

:03:36
"Responsibility
is the hard path to the top.

:03:39
"But when you get there, it's a great
view.

:03:42
- "Cos in every sinner..."
- (Woman) Thank you.

:03:45
There's a vacancy in Manchester.
:03:47
I'll take it.
:03:51
& Dreamer
:03:53
& You know you are a dreamer
:03:56
& Well, can you put your hands
in your head, oh, no

:03:59
& I said dreamer
