1. Introductions (0:00)

Ricky introduces the subject of Law and Order and the various arguments it inspires before introducing Steve Merchant - Award Winning Writer and Graduate of the University of Warick - and Karl Pilkington "look at that fucking head".

2. That was a racket (1:11)

Karl claims to not have an interest in law and order, but Ricky counter-argues this, reminding Karl about the times he has rung Ricky to complain about his noisy neighbours, nicknamed the ‘Good Fellas’ (after the gangsters, not the pizza company). This resulted in Karl moving to Hampstead as the police wouldn’t do anything about it. Ricky claims that he moved away because he couldn’t get any justice. He then expresses sympathy for people with hellish neighbours and bullies. Karl goes into a tangent about how it is noisier abroad than in London, complaining about the noise he experienced whilst in Majorca. Ricky argues that he should wear earplugs but Karl can then ‘hear the sound of his own heart’. Karl explains that he can’t escape noise as his ears can never close, but his eyes can close if they know that Karl won’t like the look of it. Ricky and Steve joke about this and tell Karl that his eyes are not making decisions for him. Ricky returns to the subject of law and order and about how the individual acts for justice.

Quotes

“My ears seem to be interested in everything, even if I’m not." Karl

“You don’t turn away and then you’re going ‘what was that?’ and your eyes are going ‘you don’t wanna know’.” Ricky
