Hey, Frankie boy, bet you're dead excited
about seeing your da?
:19:15
Why don't you just lay down and die?
:19:17
Ignore him, Frankie.
:19:19
Bet you didn't even know his boat was coming!
:19:21
Of course he knew, stupid.
:19:23
And you don't need to shout.
He can see what you're saying... unfortunately.
:19:26
I bet you all my trump cards
your da doesn't come.
:19:30
If he comes, I'll give you the lot.
:19:32
If he doesnae come,
:19:33
you have to give me every single one of
your stamps and your knife, to keep for ever.
:19:38
No, Frankie, don't. Don't do it.
:19:48
Dear Da, sorry I haven't written for a few days.
:19:51
Things have been very busy here.
:20:12
I suppose you've been busy too,
:20:15
now that you've had to change course
and sail back north.
:20:21
Ricky Monroe told me.
:20:23
Trust him to put his big feet right in it.
:20:28
I've told him hundreds and hundreds of times
:20:31
you might not even get shore leave.
:20:33
But he doesn't know about these things
He's not very clever. And he's a liar.
:20:37
He said you wouldn't want to come
and see us, even if you could.
:20:42
So, guess what, Da? I've made a bet.
:20:45
I bet Ricky Monroe you were coming.
:20:47
Then I said I'd bring you
to the football trials to prove it.
:20:57
Hey, slowcoach, I'm waiting on those chips.
