03x05 - Another Country

Post by bunniefuu »

so on the banks of the tees the jordy and chopino nation signed a treaty for the sale of the bridge

trouble was it wasn't ours to sell unless we could find a way to buy it off granger

barry had a visit from curry things might have got ugly if joe hadn't showed up waving his indian steak knife

we decided we had to tell barry the truth about his marriage we also leveled with joe he was great

asked us to come to the states and put the bridge up for them we wrapped up the site with a football

game for the workforce naturally it turned into a bloodbath

happily the final face-off with tatiana and caddy didn't then we were off into the golden west

but caddy hadn't finished

what is it it's caddy's revenge

[Music]

back to the jug and that's a pisser like and you brought the drugs in on this russian plane no we didn't

funnily enough it ain't the booze so i did bombarded a bit over the earth

it's hepatitis c hepatitis oh i'm sorry bob

do you really think this is the best place for you to be well i think it is something about this

place something spiritual i know it sounds

daft coming from an old bruiser like myself but somehow it feels connected with the

earth i suppose

laney gave me this this it's an indian poem about nature

the great sea has sent me adrift moves me as the weed in a great river

the earth and the great weather move me have carried me away and move my inward parts with joy

oh that's great i better not tell the others no sure i don't mean about being sick i

mean about reading you poetry

yeah me buddy hold depressed are you thank you well all this sugar and [ __ ] man it's a

classic symptom i didn't have any supper did i yeah you were up in the middle of the night

weren't you scoping the tub of ben and jerry's double fudge ripple [Applause]

hi joe any news what you i talked to my son again in

vegas no locally you see it for a couple days but he won't set foot on tribal lands

chip hates this place or maybe it's me well if he won't help

us with the steel work well bollocks that's right i'll go back to the council

maybe they'll bend the rule about tribals yeah okay call for you barry hello you're bloking

phoenix hell

barry hi gary hathaway listen i just wanted to update you and recap a couple of things

so you found out your wife and brother-in-law were involved in criminal activity you sh*t-can the pair of them

and they set you up on this phony narcotics deal right if we focus in on that i think there's a

good chance the u.s attorney will drop charges against the other guys now i'm having lunch with her on friday she's an

old sparring partner but uh she's gonna want something so we're not out of the woods yet

where am i oh listen uh i got the uh testimony back from the uk it's all good

uh local cops confirmed this guy cody's a piece of work and spoke very highly of

you uh inspector colin bishop colleen yeah says no way you're a bad guy you're just

a radish who got rich i'm not familiar with the expression i've heard it before barry you know i'm going to bad for you

we'll speak friday uh what is it yeah what i don't believe it

colin bishop i've known him for years we played golf together he's had dinner

in my house on more than one occasion and he calls me a radish sorry man

we're not bothered about that man body man what about the charges what what about the charges man

oh you'll probably be free and clear i'm the one who's gonna fall on his

sword ever since your funeral my life's been unravelling like a ball

of blitzy wool why'd everything didn't i mono respect

position living in luxury now look at me living in the middle of

cactus land surrounded by coyotes and rattlesnakes the one highlight of the week

is the bucket of cold snoring something unspeakable but smoking joke barbecue roadkill oh i suppose i'll be standing

prison my time go very sorry

funny all right having some sort of breakdown

maybe the medicine man's got some volume in his bag of tricks hey it's not funny moxie man he nearly did a thelma in luigi into the

gorge there man i wasn't being funny i mean maybe he's got some sort of herbal remedy you know handed down by

the ancients over the centuries is it likely that indian warriors had nervous breakdowns well he had their

problems aren't they i mean no fish in the river harsh winters white men breaking treaties

boxing shut up ah barry what are you playing up on your lunatic

what have i got to live for

tribal lands are filled with ghosts of the past young people just want to leave i mean the land is used to that working

overseas to earn a crust that's why we're here do you have a

family b*mber my wife died three years ago i'm sorry we got four children three grandkids

yourself i know you got the boy yeah i haven't seen his father for years he's not missed i was pretty pissed

though when we broke up with him and with the world coming back here was part of getting over that

uh-huh

that's our medicine man how old is he well he says he's 110 but i don't know

people lie all the time about their age that's his great granddaughter she's

eight months pregnant she just hates doctors so that's why i'm here so it won't be too long

how you doing i'm good

i come from distant land far away over great ocean

fly through the sky in a big plane boeing

747

huh oh there you are what do you want

what are you doing i'm just trying to be alone trying to get in contact with me spiritual core

oh it's just we need to fall for solo

i want the whereabouts of oz and his bridge north charms they're in america oh putting the bridge

up in arizona told you that that piss artist irishman

calhoun they paid him to draw up the erection schedule he was fishing for more money by telling me

it's a bit sneaky of us pulling a flanker like that i agreed a rock bottom price because i was told the bridge was going to scrap

it's water under the bridge now i suppose so sorry about that well not necessarily

the legal eagles might argue change of circumstance failure to disclose so what will you do

well knowing those seven hapless loons they'll find a way to [ __ ] it up

and if they don't i have a couple of cars up my sleeve oh good the book's selling quite nicely

in portuguese we've already bent the rules we have

seven outsiders working here already if it wasn't for them there wouldn't be a bridge

there wouldn't be any work for a young man excuse me if your son won't do it surely there's

other crews up in las vegas they will never host not our people

oh i see now you've moved the goalposts now it's not just native americans we're looking for it's got to be chopping ores

one of the smallest tribes in the south west man don't you talk to me like that i'm sorry sure he's

got a point charlie we need to look elsewhere our own people refuse to work on a bridge
