Only Fools And Horses – Catch Me If You Can (2012)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Takes place before Danger UXD and after Yuppy Love.<\/p>\n

When Rodney returns home with some goods Trigger gave him. Del is instantly suspicious, Rodney proud that he can make business arrangements asks Del if he can have a higher position in the business, when Del refuses, Rodney wrecks the entirety of Del’s stock in anger, leaving Del furious.<\/p>\n

INT – TROTTER’S FLAT – EVENING.
\nDel is shouting down the phone at someone. Rodney is half asleep at the table and Albert is at the chair reading a newspaper.<\/p>\n

DEL: Listen, no listen mate. This stock is the best going yet, I’m not reducing my prices.
\nRODNEY: Del, will you shut up and stop shouting.
\nDEL: Rodders, this is my business, this call is important!
\nRODNEY: You mean ‘our’ business?
\nDEL: Ey?<\/p>\n

Rodney sighs.<\/p>\n

DEL (Con’t): He’s hung up. What a berk!
\nALBERT: Not surprised, you honestly don’t expect people to buy those hats?
\nDEL: Why not Unc? There is nothing wrong with ’em!
\nRODNEY: Let me see those hats.
\nDEL: Why?
\nRODNEY: I want to look at them.<\/p>\n

Del passes Rodney the hats and Rodney starts laughing.<\/p>\n

ALBERT: What’s wrong with him?
\nDEL: He just looked at his face in the mirror.
\nRODNEY: Del, these are horrendous. Why don’t you give ’em away free ey?
\nALBERT: No-one would take them even if they were free.
\nDEL: SHUT UP UNC, DON’T GET INVOLVED.
\nRODNEY: Don’t take it out on Albert Del, just because you picked up some dodgy, rubbish stock!
\nDEL: I’ve had enough of you Rodney, you’re supposed to support me, you are my partner!
\nRODNEY: I’m just saying the truth Del.
\nDEL: Well don’t, alright?<\/p>\n

Del walks off in to the Kitchen.<\/p>\n

RODNEY: Mardy git!
\nALBERT: You know Rodney, during the war…
\nRODNEY: Albert, have I heard this one before?
\nALBERT: No. Well basically me and my mate Pippa.
\nRODNEY: Pippa?
\nALBERT: Yeah Pippa. We were in the bunkers at night when we heard this eerie noise outside.<\/p>\n

Del walks in from the kitchen, interrupting Albert.<\/p>\n

DEL: Story time with Uncle Albert is it?
\nRODNEY: It’s a good one this Del.
\nALBERT: He was half asleep, I was awake pretty much, I went to investigate and guess what I discovered?
\nDEL AND RODNEY (Intrigued): What?
\nALBERT: Nothing.<\/p>\n

There is an awkward silence, that is the story.<\/p>\n

RODNEY: Is that it?
\nALBERT: Yeah.
\nRODNEY: Oh I give up really I do. What has that got to do with anything?<\/p>\n

Del shakes his head.<\/p>\n

INT – NAG’S HEAD – AFTERNOON
\nRodney is in the Nag’s Head with Denzil.<\/p>\n

DENZIL: Where is Del Rodney?
\nRODNEY: He didn’t fancy coming down today, he feels a bit groggy.<\/p>\n

Trigger walks in.<\/p>\n

TRIGGER: DAVE!
\nRODNEY: Alright Trig?
\nTRIGGER: Yeah, where is Del?
\nRODNEY: At home.
\nTRIGGER: I might as well ask you then, do you want to buy these shoes?
\nRODNEY: How much Trig.
\nTRIGGER: I don’t know.
\nRODNEY: What do you mean you don’t know.<\/p>\n

Denzil shakes his head at them both whilst he reads the newspaper.<\/p>\n

TRIGGER: Well what you offering?
\nRODNEY: A score?
\nTRIGGER: Deal.<\/p>\n

Rodney returns home, with several boxes of shoes.<\/p>\n

\"Catch<\/p>\n

INT – TROTTER’S FLAT – AFTERNOON.
\nRodney walks in with stock, much to Del and Albert’s surprise.<\/p>\n

DEL: What are them?
\nRODNEY: Shoes.
\nDEL: Shoes? You have bought shoes.
\nRODNEY: Yeah I thought they’d be a good seller!
\nDEL: You little plonker!
\nALBERT: I’ll have some Rodney.
\nRODNEY: They are not free Unc.
\nALBERT: Good, didn’t want any in the first place.
\nDEL: Rodney, why do you never think about these things. Who in their right mind would purchase some boxes of shoes?
\nALBERT: Him.
\nDEL: Who did you get ’em from anyway?
\nRODNEY: Trigger.
\nDEL: I’ve heard it all now.
\nRODNEY: You never have any faith in me Del, these could be a good seller.
\nDEL: Let me look at ’em.<\/p>\n

Rodney passes Del some of the shoes, Del stares in dis-belief and shakes his head.<\/p>\n

RODNEY: I want a higher position in this partnership Del.
\nDEL: Ey?
\nRODNEY: I’m sick of being a lookout or any other small job, I want a main role in the partnership and a fair share.
\nDEL: You can do one!
\nRODNEY: I’ve been with you for years now.
\nDEL: You’re not experienced enough yet.
\nALBERT: And you just ruined your chances buying those shoes.
\nRODNEY: SHUT UP ALBERT!
\nDEL: Ey, ey! It’s not Albert’s fault.
\nRODNEY: I’m going to bed, NIGHT.<\/p>\n

Rodney storms off to his room.<\/p>\n

DEL: I don’t believe him sometimes, what a wally.
\nALBERT: You need to believe in him a bit more Del.
\nDEL: How can I when he comes home with some retro shoes, who he bought from Trigger, I mean Trigger out of all people.<\/p>\n

INT – TROTTER’S FLAT – EARLY IN THE MORNING.
\nDel and Albert are not to be seen. Rodney is sat at the table looking around the room.<\/p>
