* Bemoaning the absence of their TV, which has been repossessed, leads to recriminations:
-->'''Richie:''' ''[Coldly]'' You know very well why they took the telly away.\\
'''Eddie:''' I don't!\\
'''Richie:''' Yes, you ''do'', Edward Hitler. They took the telly away because -- according to you -- while you were wending your merry way down to the telly shop with the rent money, you ran into a rather strange and wizened old man! Who sold you five magic beans! Which -- coincidentally -- cost exactly the £86.23 we owed in back rent to Rumbelows!\\
'''Eddie:''' They ''were'' magic beans, you know.\\
'''Richie:'' Oh yes! And here... is the magic beanstalk! ''[grabs a plant pot containing a barely-perceptible little shoot]'' Well, I'm glad I've got a head for heights, because it's a ''whopper'', isn't it? We shall be needing oxygen masks before we get to the top of that one, won't we Sir Edmund?!
* Unfortunately for Richie, it turns out that Eddie has ammunition as well:
-->'''Eddie:''' ''[Dangerously]'' Well, it wasn't ''me'' who let us get behind with the rental, was it? How did we get £86.23 behind in the first place?\\
'''Richie:''' ''[Suddenly nervous]'' Oh, er -- oh, alright! ''[Unconvincingly trying to laugh it off]'' Alright! Let's change the subject. It's irrelevant! In fact, I ''forgive'' you.\\
'''Eddie:''' It wasn't ''me'' who bypassed Rumbelows every week for three months, saved up the £86.23, and took it... five doors along. To Dr O'Grady's Personal Organ Enhancement Clinic, '''''was it'''''?!\\
[...]\\
'''Richie:''' Hey, I know! Let's have a no talking competition!\\
'''Eddie:''' "For a mere £85..."\\
'''Richie: ''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, God...]\\
'''Eddie:''' "For a mere £85, you too can have your personal organ enhanced so that it is comparable in size to that of a fully-grown mountain gorilla!"\\
'''Richie:''' [[KnowWhenToFoldEm Yes]], and when he said "comparable in size", I didn't realise he meant "an awful lot smaller than"!\\
'''Eddie:''' What, you mean it didn't work?\\
'''Richie:''' Well, I mean, yes, he did enhance it ''temporarily''. But when it said on the door "revolutionary new enlargement technique", I didn't realise he was just going to stick me in a room with a copy of ''Razzle''. Eighty-five quid! I could be watching ''[[Series/{{Emmerdale}} Emmerdale Farm]]'' now!\\
'''Eddie:''' Yeah, and then you could have got one for free.

* The entire premise of the episode: the lads are bored out of their mind because the TV got repossessed. Why? Because Richie took the rent money and took it to Dr. O'Grady's Personal Organ Enhancement Clinic and got scammed. And then when they DID manage to scramble the late rent money for it together, Eddie spent it on magic beans.
