It’s not like you play with it anymore. Do ya?
Pollard still has set his sights on Ned’s 🧸 and he’s determined to get the bloody thing which leads him to enlist the boys (unsuspectingly) as a means while lining up a buyer right in front of (an also unsuspecting) Ned 🙄😒.
NOTE: Posting the video clip separately because I’m having too many issues with this thing.
Scene 1: Pollard is handing out flyers to the Toy Road Show which lands in the boys’ hands. The boys aren’t really interested (‘it’s all baby stuff, don’t play with it anymore’) until he mentions taking ‘a pot of gold’ for some potentially valuable toys. Meanwhile, Pollard takes Ned for a pint...
Pollard: You give me all your old toys and I’ll donate them to children who are far less fortunate than yourselves, eh? AND if you got anything that’s valuable, I can let you know what it’s worth.
Andy: I ain’t got a lot of baby stuff.
Pollard: Yeah, well, Jack & Sarah might have old toys, wouldn’t they? And, eh, what about Ned?
Robert: Yeahhhh.
Pollard: Yeah, and what a wonderful Christmas surprise it would be, eh? You bring me their cuddlies and take back a pot of gold 😒.
Scene 2: Pollard’s having that drink with Ned when he takes a calls and is basically setting up the deal for the 🧸 right in front of his face (‘yes, it’s in very good condition... 10,000?’).
Ned: Some poor sod getting fleeced then? (Yes, YOU!)
Pollard: What?
Ned: Just joking. Cheers.
Scene 3: The boys have been rummaging in Jack & Sarah’s stuff to find old toys (and have that 🧸 too). When Jack sees them with the lot, he’s not happy about them not having asked before pulling all the toys but he doesn’t see any reason why they can’t go ahead and donate them.
Robert: Was supposed to be a surprise.
Jack: Hey! That’s Loopy Lou! Sarah will go spare! Look, you can’t just go rummaging through our stuff without asking. What you playing at lads!
Andy: It’s for the Christmas fair.
