==Transcript==
(''Gavin is outside, looking at a mannequin through a store window. He pans the camera to focus on its necklace''.)

'''Gavin:''' Look at that. Bet [[Charlie]]'d love that. Or [[Aunt Joan|Auntie Joannie]]. Imagine the look on Auntie Joan's face if I got her ''that'' for Christmas.

'''Terrence:''' She'd probably assume you nicked, Gavin. (''The camera pans to show Terrence behind Gavin''.)

'''Gavin:''' U-uh... yeah, yeah. It probably is a bit out of my league, isn't it... Terrence?

'''Terrence:''' Yeah. Come on. (''Grabs Gavin by the shoulder and pulls him to the corner''.) Take a little tip from your old mate Terry, Gavin. Learn to put yourself number one. Take me, for example. I'd never let somebody break into my flat and steal [[Project Orwell|my software]], as you did.

'''Gavin:''' You... It ''was'' you who broke into our flat and stole that list of names! That's really important to Charlie. Sh-Sh- She thought I was in on it! (''Puts himself between the camera and Terrence''.) See, I-I told you I wasn't in on it! (''Puts the camera back on Terrence''.) Terrence, mate, this plan we had, it-it's not gonna work. Charlie's gonna kill me if I can't get that list of names back to her.

'''Terrence:''' Don't care what's on it, do I, Gavin? What's important to me is that it might be important to someone's head I want to stamp on; i.e. our bald friend.

'''Gavin:''' A-a-about this [[Order]] thing... I- I... We should probably just leave it.

'''Terrence:''' Oh? Really? Look, I don't know who the Order are. All I know is they've got our software and I want it back. Our bald friend stepped on my toes already, and I'll teach him - and his firm - a proper lesson.

'''Gavin:''' Terrence, wait... You can't mess with them. You just don't get it, do you? What are you gonna do to him?

'''Terrence:''' You want to get along in this world, Gavin, you've gotta have bigger balls. (''Laughs''.) Let's just say that, when I catch up with him, he'll have a, uh, a very chilly Christmas. (''Walks away''.)

'''Gavin:''' Shit. (''Pans the camera to his face''.) He's... He's gonna do something to the [[Watcher]] and then they're gonna come after me. And-and then I'm gonna die! (''Pans the camera down the street after Terrence and back again''.) I'm a dead man!

(''Gavin walks down the street. Cut to Tariq dressed as Santa, ringing a bell and holding a sign saying "Ladies 2-4-1 Cocktails". Gavin is watching him from further up the street''.)

'''Gavin:''' You know what? Just when you think your life is absolute shit, you're given a little glimmer of hope. And voila! You're cheered up again. (''Laughs''.) Look at this poor sod. Eh? What a miserable tosser. And he's got to ring his bell; the poor guy.

(''Tariq lowers his beard''.)

'''Gavin:''' Hey, hold on. I can't believe it; it's-it's Mister [[Julia]]. (''Walks toward Tariq''.) It's baldy! It's Tariq! (''Tariq turns away, embarrassed. Gavin laughs at him''.)

'''Tariq:''' You can't just come here and make jokes to me, okay? After everything you did...

'''Gavin:''' What? Isn't that what Christmas is all about? Come on. Come on, let me sit on your knee. Or-or are you not allowed to touch children after the grotto incident of last year? Come on, I'll bring- I'll bring some mistletoe for your elves. (''Laughs and kisses Tariq on the cheek''.)

'''Tariq:''' (''Laughs''.) Ho-ho-bleeding Christmas. Yeah, Merry Christmas to you, cruel bastard.

'''Gavin:''' (''Laughing''.) Oh, dear. Aww, I'm really pleased to see you, you know, mate?

'''Tariq:''' Yeah?

'''Gavin:''' I've been in a spot of bother, actually.

'''Tariq:''' Oh yeah? What is it now?

'''Gavin:''' Well, Charlie's left me and she won't do anything except swear at me. And... Then there's that mad bastard Terrence, who thinks he can take on the Watcher. Honestly, he-he's gonna do something serious to him and I'm the one who's gonna get the payback. I'm going to end up as mince meat, mate.

'''Tariq:''' Man, I can't believe the mess you've got yourself into. Gavin, I can't do anything to help you. I mean, look at me! I've got my own problems. You think ''your'' life is a mess? I'm a 24-year-old Muslim man dressed as Santa!

'''Gavin:''' (''Laughs''.) Yeah. You- You know what? You're right. It is pretty bad. Here, give us that; I'll swap you.

(''Tariq films Gavin putting on the Santa hat''.)

'''Tariq:''' And the sign as well.

(''Cut to Gavin wearing the Santa hat, holding Tariq's sign, and ringing the bell''.)

'''Gavin:''' Cocktails... (''Laughing''.) Cocktails!
