Dennis:
Watch, here comes mein Fuhrer.

Oz:
What, is he headin' over 'ere?

Dennis:
Looks like it.

Oz:
Right... [He sits down, grabs his beer and drinks it.]

Bomber:
[Pointing his trowel at Oz] Is he barmy? Takin' a tea-break when the chargehand comes round?

Dennis:
Does it on purpose, Bomber.

Oz:
Principle, Bomb.

Bomber:
I sometimes think Oz ain't playin' with a full stack.

Oz:
Look, man, I don't go kow-towin' to authority like what they do. Yer put a chimpanzee in a uniform and they'd salute it. "I was only obeyin' my orders." That's like their national motto, man. [Ulrich speaks to a worker] And if you've got owt to say, say it to me face, pal!

Dennis:
He's not talkin' about you, Oz. He's talkin' to the Germans.

Oz:
He is.

Dennis:
How d'you know when you can't speak a word of German?

Oz:
I understand more German than what you think, mate.

Ulrich:
[Approaching Oz] And I know more English thank you think... For instance, I know the English word "tea-break".

Oz:
Look, Mr. Ulrich, I do me whack same as the next man, right? And if I do it any faster, it entitles us to take me tea break when I want to, alreet? Now at the end of the day, you'll find the same amount of bricks laid here as anywhere else on the site, alreet?

Ulrich:
If this true... everything okay. [Oz nods. Ulrich turns to leave.] Danke Schön.

Oz:
And donkey shite to you too, pal. [Ulrich leaves]

Dennis:
Hey Oz, why do you antagonise people for no good reason?

Oz:
Just don't like to see them Germans gangin' up on wor, man.

Dennis:
They're not, man. Those lads are just doin' a job o' work, same as us. We're on their turf, man. We're happy enough to take their Deutschmarks come the end of the week, aren't we?

Oz:
Well, what's that got ta do with it? Wa earn it, don't wa, 'cos we're the best!

Dennis:
[Giving up, he turns away] Eh, Bomber, I tell yer he's always gotta have the last word. It's hopeless, man! It's like beatin' yer head against a brick wall.

Oz:
Aye, well if yer dae, divven't bang it against a German bit, 'cos it'll fall doon.
