We were promised our own clothes. It's childish skulduggery. 227 00:52:42,983 --> 00:52:45,583 So the leadership have had enough of you? 228 00:52:47,283 --> 00:52:49,383 In the ideal world, 229 00:52:49,483 --> 00:52:52,683 we'd be fighting our battles independently, but we're tied. 230 00:52:52,783 --> 00:52:56,083 Nothing's changed in here. The leadership are stuck with us 231 00:52:56,183 --> 00:53:00,383 until there's some realistic chance of political status, that's the hard truth. 232 00:53:00,583 --> 00:53:03,783 See, to get me to negotiate with these lying, reneging monkeys 233 00:53:03,883 --> 00:53:06,583 when there's never nothing on the table, it's pure crap. 234 00:53:06,683 --> 00:53:08,683 I'm not gonna be marched into this Governor's office 235 00:53:08,883 --> 00:53:12,583 and get caught up in some pointless dialogue with that pompous bastard. 236 00:53:12,683 --> 00:53:15,683 - Well, he's a big fan of yours. - Thick as two short planks. 237 00:53:15,883 --> 00:53:18,883 Can you believe they made him Governor? Bloody insult to humanity! 238 00:53:18,983 --> 00:53:21,683 Mother of Jesus, where do you get your energy from? 239 00:53:22,783 --> 00:53:24,883 I was a cross-country runner as a boy. 240 00:53:25,583 --> 00:53:28,383 I could have guessed it. Big engine on you. 241 00:53:29,083 --> 00:53:34,083 Cross-country running. Explains a lot about you, Bobby. 242 00:53:34,283 --> 00:53:37,783 Why, I loved it, so I did. That's the whole country thing for me. 243 00:53:37,883 --> 00:53:41,783 Jesus, they to hold me back at the finishing line or I'd keep on running. 244 00:53:4
