Quotes 

• Oz Osborne : Well this is a right puzzler, this one. I don't wanna go back home but I don't really wanna stop here in Germany, especially if I'm just gonna be working with Germans.

  Albert Moxey : I thought you had a wife and a kid though, Oz.

  Bomber Busbridge : Aye, that's why he doesn't wanna go back.

  Oz Osborne : True, true. What about you Moxey, you'll stop here with us, won't you?

  Albert Moxey : Well as much as I like yer, Oz, I can't say I relish the idea of paying tax, like. I mean, when you think about the squalid lifestyle we lead at the moment, it's gonna be even worse wi' less money.

  Bomber Busbridge : Sounds like another boy Blighty-bound, to me.

  Albert Moxey : No way, Bomb, there's even less chance of that happening.

  Oz Osborne : How's that, like?

  Albert Moxey : I've got a record, haven't I. I was in the nick for two years before I come out here.

  Oz Osborne : Yeah?

  Albert Moxey : This was supposed to be me fresh start in life.

  Oz Osborne : Ahh, what did you get locked up for? Eh?

  Albert Moxey : Arson.

  Oz Osborne : Arson?

  Albert Moxey : Yeah I know, I didn't wanna tell you blokes, you know.

  Oz Osborne : Arson?

  Albert Moxey : In case you got worried like, you know, about being in the same hut as me, like. Guess it don't matter now, though.

  Oz Osborne : Arson, eh? And you don't even smoke.

  Bomber Busbridge : Well how did that come about, Mox?

  Albert Moxey : I was working on this building site, you know, back in Liverpool. Bastard site manager had it in for us like, kept docking me wages for no reason. And one day I just lost me rag. I set fire to his hut.

  Oz Osborne : What, was he still in it?

  Albert Moxey : Not for long, no. So there you go. A record for arson. Dodge City address.

  Oz Osborne : Where?

  Albert Moxey : Kirby. I reckon me chances on Merseyside are even worse than Everton's.

  Bomber Busbridge : I see what you mean.

  Oz Osborne : Well. Stop on Moxey, that's the only thing you can do, really.

  Albert Moxey : Yeah I know, Oz but once they get me name down on their forms and their files, only be a matter of time before they find out about me past.

  Oz Osborne : [to Dennis who just entered the room]  Hey Dennis, you'll never guess what. Moxey's an arsonist.

  Dennis Patterson : [to Barman]  Schnapps. Just leave the bottle.
