For comedic effect, all of the character's lines are spoken with a thick Irish Traveller accent, slurred together, and spoken very quickly.

Mickey

Now look, she wants the Heki 2 roof lights, uh, the stylish ash frame furniture, and the scatter cushions with, uh, matching shag pile cover. Yeah. Right. And she's terrible partial to the periwinkle blue boss.

Mickey

Nobody brings a fella the size o' him, 'less they're tryin' to say somethin' without talkin'.

[narrating]

Now there was a problem with pikies or gypsies...

Mickey

What're ya doin' here? Get out of the way, man. [babbling and speaking quickly]

[narrating]

...you can't really understand much of what's being said.

Mickey

You Tommy? Come about the caravan?

Mr. O'neill.

Mickey

****, man. Call me Mickey.

[narrating]

He's not Irish, he's not English...

How are ya?

Mickey

Weather's been kind, [starts babbling].

[narrating]

He just well, ya know, he's just Pikey.

Mickey
[Gorgeous George gets out of the car]

**** me! Would you just look the size of him? How big are ya? Hey kids, how big is he?

Pikey kid

Big enough man, fo sure.

Mickey

Hey Mam, come and look at the size of this fella. Bet you can box a lil' can't ya, sir. Ahh, you look lak a boxer.

Mrs O'neill

Get outta the way, Mickey. See if these fellas'd like a drink.

Oh, I could murder one.

Mrs O'neill

Be no more murdering don' 'round ere, I don't mind telling ya.

Mrs O'neill
[Gorgeous George not coming inside with them]

Is the big fella not coming with us?

Nah, he's minding the car.

Mrs O'neill

What's he think we are? Thieves?

No, nothing like that, Mrs O'neill. He just likes...looking after cars.

Mickey

Good dags. D'ya like dags?

Dags?

Mickey

Dags. Ya like dags?

Mrs. O'Neil

Yeah, dags.

Oh, dogs. Sure, I like dags. I like caravans more.

Mickey
[After the wheels have fallen off the caravan that Tommy and George have just bought from Mickey]

The deal was you bought it like you saw it. Hey, look, I've helped you as much as I'm going to help you. See that car? Just use it, for you're not welcome anymore. You should **** off now while you still got the legs to carry you.

Nobody...

Mickey

Nobody brings a fella the size of you unless they're trying to say something without talking, right?

Sorry, Mickey. Just give our money back and you can keep the caravan.

Mickey

Why the **** do I want a caravan that's got no **** wheels? You want to settle this with a fight?

Mrs. O'Neil

Over my dead body! Now, go on! Go on! I'll not have you fighting, Mickey! You know what happens when you fight.

Mickey

Get her to sit down. [Turns to face Gorgeous George] For ****'s sake! Want the money? I ain't **** you. I'll fight you for it. You and me.

Get back down or you will not be coming up next time.

[watches as Mickey warms up]

Oh, bollocks to you. This is sick. I'm out of here.

Mickey

You're not going anywhere, you thick lump.

Mickey
[Pulls off his shirt]

You stay until the job's done.

[Mickey kisses his good luck charm. George throws a punch. Mickey dodges, knocks out George with a clean punch to the jaw] [narrating]

It turned out that the sweet-talking, tattoo-sporting pikey was a gypsy bare-knuckle boxing champion. Which makes him harder than a coffin nail. Right now that's the last thing on Tommy's mind. If Gorgeous doesn't wake up in the next few minutes Tommy knows he'll be buried with him. Why would the gypsies go through the trouble explaining why a man died in their campsite? Not when they can bury the pair of them and just move camp. It's not like they got social security numbers, is it? Tommy, 'The Tit', is praying. And if he isn't... he **** should be.

Mickey

I'll tell ya what. I'll do it for a caravan.

For what?

Pikeys

For a caravan.

It was us who wanted a caravan.

[looking around]

Anyway, what's wrong with this one?

Mickey

It's not for me. It's for me ma.

Your what?

Pikeys

His ma.

Well, do you want to do it?

Mickey

That depends.

On what?

Mickey

On you buying this caravan. Ah, not the rouge one, the rose.

It's not the same caravan.

Mickey

It's not the same fight.

It's twice the **** size of the last one.

Mickey

The fight is twice the size. And me ma still needs a caravan. I like to look after me ma. It's a fair deal. Take it.

Mickey, you're lucky we aren't worm food after your last performance. Buying a tart's mobile palace is a little **** rich.

[Realizes his mistake as the gypsies stare threateningly at him]

I wasn't calling your mum a tart. I just meant...

Mickey

Save your breath for cooling your porridge. Hey, look... [incoherently] Ah - deh sah-sez-fren-forcher, and dah scar-her-cushons, wit dah matsen-seck-way-Core-Ver.

Mickey
[Turkish and Tommy look at each other with confusion]

Right. And she's terribly partial to the periwinkle blue. Have I made myself clear, lads?

Yeah, that's perfectly clear, Mickey, yeah. Just give me one minute to confer with my colleague.

[Turns to Tommy]

Did you understand a single word of what he just said?

OK, I reckon the hare gets ****.

Mickey

What? Proper ****? [laughs all round]
