Jack says 'e wanted 'er ter hear it from 'im, not the bloody square gossip. Ronnie asks if 'e is doin' it for Tanya or ter get one over on Max. Jack says she knows 'im well enough - wot does she fink. I'll get out me spoons. Max drops 'is car off at the Arches and is there wen Peggy comes ter berate Phil for upsettin' Ben.

Max spots Ronnie in the square and invites 'er for a drink, right, ffen starts bitchin' about Jack. He says that Jack only cares about doin' a man dahn, right, and Ronnie says she asked Jack that too. Max says - wot else could account for 'is choice - 'ave a look at yer and 'ave a look at Tanya.

Ronnie asks about Jack, and Max says that Jack found 'er a bit 'ard work, and Jack is used ter his 'ave a looks copping any cow, but she weren't so easy. Max says blokes like 'im 'ave ter work 'arder than blokes like Jack, and know more about 'ow ruddy ladies feel, wot they fink before they even fink it. Ronnie says icily "that works for yer does it?"
