Les Pinner: [to Vince's answerphone] Hello Vince. Remember those 6 German tanks you bought as 120 tons of scrap metal? They just turned up on the Angola border shooting at government troops. And the last registered owner - Pinner Enterprises. We are now under investigation. That's nothing new. But this time its not Scotland Yard, the Inland Revenue or Customs and Excise. Its the United Nations! You're fired!
Les Pinner: [on answerphone playback] Hello Vince...
Vince Pinner: [turns off machine] Ahh Dad, at last a friendly voice.

[Les is telling Vince about a villain that he stood up to]
Les Pinner: He used to be an enforcer for the Kray Brothers - till they sacked him for being too aggressive. He knew I was earning and he wanted his cut. Now unlike you, Vincent, I ain't never been a fighting man. But I knew I had a straight choice. I either paid him what he wanted and had him on my back for the rest of my natural, or I fronted him out. And that's what I did. I was scared, petrified, but I stood up to him. And do you know what? I discovered I had an inner strength. It was as if it weren't me fighting - it was another feller, stronger than me, who had no fear. Every blow was considered in a calm and clinically violent way. George Fimbo never came near or by that yard again.
Vince Pinner: And were you hurt?
Les Pinner: Hurt? Three months in a convalescent home, eighteen months before I could walk without a stick!
