fighting to stop.

death.

likes. Mick turns around, noticing Sally on the staircase
watching him, then she walks off.
Ben and George talk, Ben tells George that he's leaving the
brigade.
Adam walks out into the appliance area noticing Elaine, she says
she misses Recall.
Ben says to George that he joined the brigade to help people, but
all they get are the jobs that no - one else wants to do and they
get bad pay. Ben then asks George for a favour, if he could do
his dad's Eulogy.
----------------------
Sally and Mick argue as Frank is stalking around listening in.
Sally blames Mick, as he didn't listen to her when she told him
that Recall was struggling. Then Frank appears, Sally walks off,
then Mick does also. Mick enters his office and hits his hat to
the floor.

won't let nothing happen to him, he'd seen guv'nors before crack
from the pressure.
Charlie and Geoff enter the office, Charlie tells Mick that
they're off to the chippie, his chippie and Geoff adds that it
would be the best thing to do considering the current
circumstances.

The appliance arrives across the road from the chippie. George,
Charlie and Geoff step out. George begins to mickey take the name
- Fish Heaven.
