00:00Well, look, it's difficult for me too. All I'm saying is he's having a hard time fitting
00:18in and the least that you could do is walk to school with him. Anyway, I've got to go.
00:23Those pythons aren't going to feed themselves. Pythons? You're working at a zoo. Zoo, I wish.
00:29Cleaning up Mrs. Friedlander's. Can't be right keeping them in the bars, can it? Anyway, bye, sweetheart.
00:35Take care, Mum.
00:39Have a good day, Chief.
00:44Chief, aren't you going to get dressed before your customers arrive?
00:47I haven't had a single customer in the past 24 hours. It's been as quiet as listening to a feather falling on a velvet cushion behind a lead door.
00:59Well, I'm sure it'll pick up. See you.
01:04They're all off to the new shop over the road.
01:08What, the new shop has opened already?
01:10Even old man Marsh is avoiding me. Mr. Marsh. And to think I ordered in the hamster toilet especially for him.
01:19Traitor. See you, bye.
01:23Wakey, wakey, Jakey, let's hit the road.
01:30OK, look, Jammer, if there's no other way to convince you, I'm prepared to perform one wish.
01:36Just to show you because...
01:38What? Oh, it's your Queen's Bones fantasy.
01:43The Queen's nose. It's not a fantasy. It really does grant wishes.
01:48Course it does, Jake. Like, I wish this 50p would buy me a packet of smoky bacon crisps and grant me about 10p change.
01:56OK, look, Jammer, but I'm sorry you asked for it.
02:00I wish my cousin Jammer would turn into a...
02:03a snake till she believed me.
02:06Oh, I'm so scared.
02:11Good work.
02:12Come on, freak boy, let's go.
02:14Maybe I'll stand in the wrong way.
02:17Or maybe I was holding it with my left hand when I wished.
02:21No.
02:22Maybe I was standing on one leg.
02:24Whatever.
02:25Or facing north.
02:26Come on.
02:27Look, I'm doing something wrong now, but...
02:30but it really does grant wishes.
02:33How can you explain the fact that Frank can speak to me?
02:36The ferret talks.
02:39Well, that would be interesting, I suppose.
02:42I mean, obviously only I can hear him.
02:45Only you can hear him.
02:46Of course.
02:47Naturally.
02:48Go on, Frank.
02:50Say something.
02:51Tell me something.
02:53And I'll tell Jammer.
02:57OK, well, now he's not saying anything.
02:59OK, I'll be waiting downstairs while you and your ferret work on your communication.
03:07Why didn't you say something?
03:09I didn't have anything to say.
03:11But now I do.
03:12Watch for lunch.
03:15What?
03:16Goodbye, lunch.
03:19Obviously I have to make more of an effort.
03:21Maybe I could learn some tricks.
03:24No.
03:29We sell everything and more.
03:31Isn't a slogan, it's a poke in the eye.
03:33Well, maybe Chief can sue them for, I don't know, unfair competition.
03:38What's unfair?
03:39Well, they're too big and flashy and they're just too good.
03:42It's not fair.
03:43This is bad.
03:44I mean, what will Chief do?
03:45The shop is everything to him.
03:47Wait.
03:48I have the answer.
03:50I can save the cabin.
03:52You're talking like Superman again.
03:55The Queen's nose.
03:56If I can make a ferret talk, I can easily save a shop.
04:00Oh, the magic coin.
04:01Brilliant.
04:02I forgot we had a magic coin.
04:03Everything's great with a magic coin.
04:05Uh, Jammer?
04:08Would you mind if we went that way?
04:10I think it's a bit quicker.
04:12What?
04:15Look, if you are so scared of Wesley and his pathetic gang,
04:18why don't you use your magic coin to make them all disappear?
04:21Yeah, well, I might just do that.
04:24Queen's nose.
04:26Please make them disappear.
04:28Forever.
04:30Hey, J, why don't you come and hang out with us, mate?
04:33Oh, hang on.
04:34I remember now.
04:35It's because you're not invited.
04:37Right.
04:38Loser.
04:39Look, don't take it personally.
04:41Oh, right.
04:42How am I supposed to take it?
05:04Hey, Marshy.
05:05Mr Marsh, what's going on?
05:06What have you got there?
05:07Oh, you know, nothing much.
05:09I thought you were closed,
05:10so I headed over to the other place, the new one.
05:13They really are very cheap, you know.
05:15I bet they are.
05:16I bet they didn't have an automatic shoehorn.
05:19They did.
05:21An alarm clock that caught Shakespeare.
05:26Don't tell me they had a hamster toilet.
05:33And it was on sale, too.
05:37Oi, magic boy.
05:39I heard you got a magic cone.
05:41Can I have a bite?
05:43I can't believe you told them, Gemma.
05:46I didn't tell them anything.
05:48They overheard me telling Lauren.
05:50Ooh, stand back, boys, or he might rub his magic cone.
05:54Don't turn us all into chocolate flakes.
05:57Yeah, well, you shouldn't be telling anyone.
06:00It's secret.
06:01It's...
06:02It's nothing.
06:03That's what it is.
06:04You stopped acting like a freak for five minutes.
06:06Maybe people have stopped treating you like one.
06:15Good man, Jake.
06:17Now, Chief will be down after the match to lock up,
06:20and you can call on Gemma if there's a rush on,
06:22although I don't think there's any danger of that.
06:24Oh, and you know you can kick the switch machine
06:26if it makes that funny noise.
06:28All right?
06:29See you later. Bye.
06:32Everyone's got something to do.
06:35Everyone except me and you.
06:37Oh, what's on your mind?
06:39I just...
06:41I just miss my dad, that's all.
06:43I mean, Chief and Carla are all right.
06:45Even Gemma doesn't mean to.
06:49Hi.
06:50Hello.
06:51Can I help you?
06:52Well, yeah, maybe.
06:53I'm looking for a book on magic for my magic hat.
06:55And I'm looking for a sandwich. I'm starving.
06:57You don't have any sandwiches, do you?
06:59Do they look like they sell sandwiches?
07:01Yeah, well, according to the sign, they sell everything.
07:03We did ask in the shop over the road, but they were so rude.
07:06And plus, we thought your shop looked much nicer.
07:08Well, we do have practically everything.
07:11Ah.
07:13This should do the trick, so to speak.
07:18This is great. Perfect.
07:19Yeah, well, I hope it's not too good, Sophie.
07:21To be honest, life without magic is a lot more relaxing.
07:24Although, we did still have the Queen's nose.
07:27I could wish for a sandwich as big as a bus right now.
07:30Sorry, hang on.
07:32Did you say the Queen's nose?
07:35You know about the Queen's nose?
07:37Know about it? I've got it in my pocket.
07:40Well, it's doing me any good.
07:42There you go.
07:43I knew there was something about this shop.
07:45The Queen must have led us here.
07:47Hold on. I don't think this is the Queen's nose.
07:49It's not?
07:50She's right, you know.
07:52Yeah, this is just an ordinary 50p.
07:54Is it?
07:57Hey, don't trust them. They might be lying.
08:00They seem to know what they're talking about, Frank.
08:02Uh, excuse me, did you just talk to your ferret?
08:05Uh, yeah.
08:07This'll probably sound crazy, but...
08:09The coin.
08:11It made it so I can hear him talk.
08:13Listen, after some of the stuff it did to us, that's nothing.
08:15And plus, he's a cute little fella, isn't he?
08:18There it is.
08:20The Queen's nose.
08:22Where?
08:23Here.
08:24Great.
08:25Hey, hey, hold on. It's not ours. It's his now.
08:28Nah, it's all right. You can keep it.
08:31All I've done with it so far is make a ferret talk so people think I'm crazy
08:34and mess up running the shop.
08:37In fact, since I've found it, my dad's gone abroad.
08:40I've got bored at school and, well,
08:42I'm about as wanted round here as a toothache at a birthday party.
08:46So maybe it's best if you take it.
08:48Listen, the coin hasn't caused you problems. It's come to help you.
08:51It only turns up when it's really needed.
08:53I hope it works properly and everything will turn out all right.
08:56OK?
08:57Yeah.
09:14I don't get it, Frank.
09:16Why was it in there?
09:18Well, I figured if you had the real coin,
09:21sooner or later you'd decide you didn't want to talk to a ferret any more
09:25and I'd lose my voice.
09:27And my best friend.
09:29Oh, Frankie, don't be like that.
09:32You're my best buddy.
09:33That may be true, but I wouldn't go broadcasting it.
09:36Oh, Gemma, nice to see you.
09:38Yes, I've cleared up the confusion with the coin
09:42and I'm pleased to say I am back in business.
09:45Please, give up.
09:47This is just too sad.
09:49Go ahead, cousin.
09:51Make my day.
09:52Just rub the nose and make a wish.
09:54But be careful what you wish for.
09:56Because it's going to happen.
09:58Oh, sure.
09:59Right, so if I was like...
10:02I wish that...
10:04Robin Hood was here right now, it would happen, would it?
10:08You're cold! Have the soup, my dear.
10:11Be an assistant.
10:13I...
10:15And you really...
10:17Looks like you owe me a rather fat apology.
10:20Hey, Robin.
10:21Hey!
10:22And now, how can I be of assistance to you two, my lesions?
10:27Oh, we're fine.
10:29It's Aunt and Chief and this place that needs help.
10:32Very well.
10:34Carla, Carla Greenspan.
10:36Yes?
10:37I am Robin Hood.
10:40Oh, right.
10:41I'm here at your service to assist and protect you.
10:47Um...
10:49Can you dance?
10:50Um, I think not.
10:53What I can do, however, what I most enjoy doing,
10:56is rubbing from the ridge and giving to the poor.
11:00Oh, right.
11:01Lovely.
11:02Um, but I'm going to go and do a dance class,
11:04so maybe you'd better push off.
11:06No, no, no, no, fair ladies.
11:08Sweet Maid Marian.
11:10If you desire to dance, then that is what we shall do.
11:17Oh, good grief.
11:20You waited.
11:21I'm so sorry.
11:22No trains, no taxis, and then could I find a florist?
11:26I'm so glad you waited.
11:29Sorry, is this guy bothering you?
11:31Um, no, not really.
11:33I think you'd better get off to your fancy dress party now, love.
11:36Very well.
11:37Good night, good sir, and farewell, sweet maiden.
11:41I bid you safe passage and Godspeed.
11:44I bid you safe passage and Godspeed.
11:47And now I'm off to rub from the ridge and give to the poor.
11:54He's really into that whole Robin Hood thing, isn't he?
11:59It appears identical in every way to an ordinary coin.
12:02But where's it from?
12:04Who made it?
12:05And more importantly, how does it work?
12:07I told you, you rub the nose.
12:09Oh, sure, it's as simple as that, is it?
12:11You rub the nose and these vivid shared hallucinations just happen, do they?
12:15Look, Gemma, they're not hallucinations.
12:17They're real.
12:18Of course they seem real.
12:20That's what hallucinations do.
12:23Oh, fairly, I must say, the yonder ward drove like some...
12:28Spaciousness of Sherwood Forest.
12:30Now, are you quite certain that King John's men are here about?
12:34Yeah, they're looking for you all over the place.
12:37You better get back in there and keep hiding.
12:39Very well.
12:40Ah, by the by.
12:42A flagon of mead and a small leg of mutton would make excellent companions.
12:47Uh, yeah, very good.
12:51Quite a hallucination you've got living in your wardrobe, Gemma.
12:55I'm just glad you didn't wish for Little John and Friar Tuck as well.
12:59OK, maybe, maybe these wishes are more than just hallucinations.
13:04But why do some last longer than others?
13:07The talking ferret's wish is still active.
13:09But the coolest boy in school wish stopped working days ago.
13:12Uh, yeah?
13:14You sure about that?
13:16I mean, I still kind of feel I've got the edge over most of those losers.
13:29That's right, little mouse, run from the cat!
13:35This is not good.
13:40He's losing his will to fight.
13:42He can't bring himself to face what's happening to the shop.
13:46Yeah, but on the plus side, maybe he'll persuade him to get satellite.
13:50Except with the shop gone, there'll be even less cash around.
13:53What are we going to do about him?
13:55Hey, your wish, your problem.
13:58What do you mean, my problem?
14:00Have a good day with your new friend.
14:02Oh, and Robin, try not to fire any more arrows, yeah?
14:07The notice board we can replace, I mean.
14:10Jake, come back here!
14:13Mr Hood, Robin, you'll be all right on your own today, yeah?
14:18Well, in truth,
14:21it would be passing sad to see out the day without my merry men.
14:25But since Sherwood is surely not far from here,
14:29I will call the fourth wave!
14:32No, Sherwood's miles!
14:35Don't worry, Chief, just the postman blowing his trumpet.
14:40So, you're my pen friend from Norway, right?
14:43Zing! Hoo! For Norway!
14:45Could at least try a Norwegian accent.
14:48Oh, look, it's Magic Boy's little cousin.
14:51Who's your friend? You see magic too?
14:53He sure looks magic in those tights.
14:56Do they mock me? Shall I run them through?
14:59Don't run them through. Don't say anything.
15:02Don't run them through. Don't say anything. Don't do anything.
15:05Hey, light the bow and arrow.
15:07Who do you think you are, Robin Hood?
15:09Robin of the Hood will not be mocked by vagabonds.
15:13Well, shouldn't you be in Sherwood Forest with Maid Marian?
15:16Yes, well, matter of fact, things aren't going too well between myself and Ma...
15:20Not that that is of any of your concern!
15:23Hey, mate, try shooting that off my head with one of your arrows.
15:27You, sir, address the wrong man.
15:30That is the stick of William Tell.
15:34William Tell!
15:36I love to be confused with that one-trick pony!
15:39Congratulations.
15:41You've managed to find a one-bloke who's even more of an idiot than your cousin.
15:48Look, you are not Robin Hood.
15:51You are Oleg from Norway.
15:54Oh! Will someone help me here?
15:57But no more, Master Wesley.
16:00I have stuck there like a pincushion.
16:03He's from just outside Oslo.
16:06Apparently you're allowed to shoot arrows in school in Norway.
16:10Weird, huh?
16:12You wished for him?
16:14Well, it's your magic coin. Why should I have to look after him?
16:17Oh, is that what you've been doing?
16:19I didn't notice much looking after going on
16:22when he tied the headmaster up and was rifling through his wallet.
16:25Yeah, well, the dinner ladies weren't complaining
16:27when he was handing out the fivers.
16:29I'm just lucky the police didn't find him up that tree.
16:32Couldn't he stick to something a bit less criminal,
16:34like the apple-on-the-head trick?
16:36That's William Tell.
16:38Sorry?
16:39Forget it. Look, I've got much more important things to worry about at the moment.
16:42Oh, yeah? Like what exactly?
16:44Like Chief. I'm really worried about him.
16:46He won't move off the sofa.
16:48He's never watched TV in his life before.
16:50And now he watches Neighbours twice a day.
16:52Oh.
16:53If the shop doesn't get some customers soon, something bad's going to happen.
16:56He's going to lose his reason to live.
16:58Well, it's all down to the new shop over the road.
17:00They're just coining in our expense.
17:03I have an idea.
17:05We must rob from the rich shop to give to the poor shop.
17:10Brilliant.
17:12I've no idea why, but I had a feeling you were going to say something like that.
17:16The thing is, that's not how it works these days.
17:20The modern taxation system is effectively a form of wealth redistribution.
17:24Those with greater income contribute more to public services.
17:28But...
17:30I've got a bow and arrow, and I'm a really good shot.
17:37No, you hang up.
17:39Mum, can you have a word with Grandad?
17:42He's started to record everything in case he misses something good.
17:45Hang on a minute. I've got to go.
17:49I'll see you in half an hour.
17:51OK. Bye.
17:55That is not the same phone conversation you were having two hours ago, is it?
18:00Maybe. I suppose so.
18:02Time flies when you're having fun.
18:04What if someone was trying to call?
18:06And where are we going to get the money for that phone bill?
18:09Not from the shop, that's for sure.
18:11Sweetheart, can we talk about this later? I'm going to be late.
18:15Mother, you are not going out dressed like that.
18:18What's wrong with the way I'm dressed?
18:21Mum!
18:25Right. All right.
18:31Well, there's nothing in the fridge. Or the cupboard.
18:34I know. He ate most of it.
18:36Let me out! Let me out, I say!
18:38You didn't!
18:40He's been getting distracting.
18:42We can't find out something, anything, about the coin.
18:45We've got to find a way of getting rid of the Prince of Thieves.
18:48But we don't know how many wishes we've got left.
18:50Oh, right. Well, I've done searches under magic coins, magic 50p's,
18:54wish-granting currency.
18:56Apparently in Spain there's a mythical magic for Sata,
18:59which makes hair grow out of your fingernails.
19:01But apart from that, zilch.
19:03You let me out!
19:06Don't worry. He's only got three.
19:09Right. Well, I was going to say...
19:16I kind of forgot to show you this.
19:19When the coin popped out the till, a message came with it.
19:23So I wrote it down.
19:25Oh, right. Great. You forgot to show me the message that came with the coin,
19:29explaining all about it.
19:31You can pay my internet phone bill for the last two days.
19:33Evening.
19:35Hi, Chief. How are you doing?
19:37Ever better. Five channels, but only one me.
19:41Taffy.
19:44Yeah.
19:46Anyway, the message explains that the Queen's Nose grants ten wishes.
19:50And we've already used up four.
19:52Six left.
19:54We can definitely spare one for emergencies.
19:56Farewell, Robin. I have a feeling you'll be much more merry back in the forest.
20:00No way! You can't just waste a wish like that.
20:03It's my magic coin.
20:05Hey! You're the expert in wasting wishes.
20:08Talking ferret. Need I say more?
20:10And it's my magic coin. It came from my till in my house.
20:13Right. I get it. It's not my house.
20:16I don't really belong here.
20:18That's not what I meant.
20:20Yeah, but it's what you all think.
20:22Maybe I'll use the coin to wish for a proper family.
20:31Jake! Jake! Wake up!
20:34What?
20:36Robin escaped. He must have had more arrows than I thought.
20:39We've got to go and find him.
20:43I am sure I heard something from inside the shop.
20:46Did you hear anything?
20:48Probably just Chief reloading the video.
20:51What's going on?
20:53This maniac threatened me with his bow and arrow.
20:56Then he stole all the deliveries for the shop over the road.
20:59The rich will pay the poor man's way
21:02And Robin's men will win the day
21:09Oh, great.
21:11Well, that was another great night.
21:13You're not angry with me for dropping you on your head?
21:15Do you know that if we were Eskimos
21:17that would be an official marriage proposal?
21:19Really?
21:21No.
21:23Um...
21:25I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to come in for a coffee?
21:28Normally people ask that when they're outside their front door.
21:31This is my front door.
21:35You live here?
21:37Well, I know it's not much, but...
21:39I don't think I can come in.
21:42Not tonight.
21:44OK.
21:45I mean, don't get me wrong, I've had a great time.
21:47It's fine, I understand.
21:50Um, so I'll see you at the next class then, maybe?
21:53Sure. Absolutely.
21:58Bye.
22:06Evening, Billy.
22:08Everything all right with the delivery?
22:10Trust me, Mr MacLean, you don't want to know.
22:12No.
22:14No, I don't want to know.
22:19Trust me, it's for the best.
22:21There's this big road protest camp in Sherwood Forest.
22:24They live in trees. Everything.
22:26They're robbing.
22:27Are they merry?
22:29I mean, if they're not merry, they've been very ill-qualified for the role of merry men.
22:32Trust me, they don't come any merrier.
22:34They were recently voted Britain's merriest men.
22:37Oh.
22:38But the rich, what of the rich?
22:40Who will do the robbing?
22:42Um...
22:43Don't worry.
22:44We'll do that.
22:46Very well.
22:48Farewell, brood companions.
22:50Bye.
22:53Ha-ha!
22:55Ho-ho, Kingsman!
22:57Good riddance!
23:01See? All we had to do was put our heads together.
23:04Worked like a dream.
23:06You're right. I suppose I owe you an apology.
23:09You do?
23:10I called you a freak.
23:12You're not a freak. You're a geek.
23:14But you're an all right geek.
23:16Thanks.
23:17And you know what?
23:18I think we're going to be all right, you, me and our magic coin.
23:21My magic coin?
23:23Hey, I thought we were going to be a team.
23:25Do you want to swap rooms, then?
23:27Because I wouldn't mind a turn in our nice big room.
23:30That's not part of the deal.
23:32I didn't know there was a deal, Gemma.
23:34Oh.
23:51THE END
