"My straw. My bloody straw!" Joseph says to Gav as he points towards the crash. "That's that bloody Judas with my straw. And now you've just trampled all over my

Joseph drops to his knees with his head in his hands. Gav bends down to him and
puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Cheer up mate, I'll buy you a beer."
"What?" Joseph replies.
"I'll buy you a beer. I noticed you're farming barley here. There must be a pub or something nearby to create this demand. Come on, take me to the pub, I'll buy you a beer, and we can talk about whatever you want."

Joseph stands up.

"Thanks...."
"Gav"
"Thanks Gav, I'm Joseph Brown, my friends call me Downtown. I know just the place."
"Thank Christ...."
"....It's his bloody fault I'm in this mess to start with" Joseph interrupts
