Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Series 1

Oz:
Howay, then, lads. That's enough lazing around. Shall we...?

Dennis:
What's the panic, like?

Oz:
Ah, yer kna, the Erics have started. Doesn't do to lag behind, does it? [Sees Herr Ulrich passing through the site] Oh, guten Tag, Herr Ulrich! Wie geht's? (How are you?)

Ulrich:
[Rather surprised] Mir geht's ganz gut, Osbourne. Und ich bin sehr beeindruckt, daß Sie Deutsch spechen versuchen. (I'm fine, Osbourne, and I'm very impressed that you're trying to speak German.)

Oz:
...Pardon?

Dennis:
He says he's very impressed, Oz, that you're trying to learn German.

Oz:
Oh, aye! Well, just a few words, like. I haven't got that far yet.

Ulrich:
Ja, but you're trying, Osbourne. That's good. Also, you're now starting back to work quickly. [Oz nods.] In Germany, just because we have a break does not mean we always take it. [Walks off]

Dennis:
[Ruefully] That's great, that is, isn'it, eh? We're on a legitimate break, he makes it look as if we're skivin'!

Bomber:
Still creeping 'round the Germans, then?

Oz:
Nah, nah, man. Look, since I've been seein' Uli, Bomber, I've seen things in a different light. I mean, I now realise it takes all sorts to make a world. I mean, the average German's alreet. Compared to them Turks.

Bomber:
Ah, it's good to know he hasn't changed that much, Bomber, eh?

Neville:
What's wrong with the Abduls?

Oz:
Look, they account for half the crime in German cities.

Bomber:
Oh, cobblers!

Oz:
Have a look around, man. The only dirty parts in this town are the parts where the Abduls live.

Dennis:
That's not their fault, man. They're over here as sweated labour. They get the worst housing, the lowest wages.

Oz:
They're unclean in their habits, Dennis. [Goes off to start work, followed by Neville.]

Neville:
So, you're still pretty keen on this Uli, then, Oz, eh?

Oz:
You've seen her.

Neville:
Sure. I'm not sayin' she's not attractive, but, er, you are a married man, Oz.

Oz:
Ah, howay, Nev, man! We got married too young, man. We stuck it out eight years. That's long enough. I mean, let's face it, me and Marjorie's not exactly Charles and Diana, is we?

Neville:
No...

Oz:
I mean, I don't kid meself, Marjorie's a bit flighty. She's still seein' that bloke from the breweries, yer kna.

Neville:
Well, you should've put a stop to that a long time ago.

Oz:
What? Have yer seen the size of 'im? He lifts them barrels up with one hand, man!
