5 grand by Friday?
That is quite a significant amount of money to find by Christmas eve.

Have they got a plan?

Skin up a fat one and hope the problem goes away?

Yeah they bet everything they have on this dog down Walthamstow
but it loses, and as they're leaving, shitting themselves and tearing up the ticket, a benevolent millionaire (who used to be a bit of a tearaway himself) goes past, catches wind of their plight, and gives them the moneys, with some to spare for drugs and dancing girls.

It was a boss film.

They could borrow the money from Barry Grant.

To be fair now in the perfect time of year for this to happen. All soaps need a big Christmas storyline.

In Eastenders, someone swaps a dead baby for a live one.
Hilarity ensues.

That sounds like a slightly more extreme rip-off of the Channel 4 documentary
Wife Swap.

I'm sure it'll involve hilarious capers that wind up with them bumbling into the money
Then having it stolen by some teenagers in a stolen Audi. They're then caught as they despair and taken to a disused warehouse, where the plead for their kneecaps. Just then a dog runs in and in the resulting comical scuffle the Big Boss Man shoots himself in the nadgers, falls off one of those warehouse walkways and crashes into a skip full of miscast rubber cocks and dies.

They then follow the dog and find that a crashed Audi containing the dead teenage scrotes along with their stolen money (which isn't really theirs as they stole it anyway) and they all live happily ever after.

My friend's plan is very simple:

Chance of that working?

Fairly high.
One of the gangsters likes him a lot. He is also the one with the skills so if they want to do another job they need him.

Ah, so he's at least helpful to have round?
Thank fuck for him, eh?
