When Del arranges a job redecorating a Chinese Restaurant, he unwisely decides to employ the services of Rodney 'Leonardo' Trotter and buys some paint from Trigger.

It's also nearing the anniversary of their mother's death, and in an attempt to save a bit of cash, Del swipes a bit of spare paint to spruce up her tombstone. It's only when they've finished painting and get a call from the irate owner of the Chinese restaurant that they realise the paint was actually ''luminous'' yellow. Fine for the walls of a Chinese restaurant kitchen, and it certainly makes a gravestone stand out on a dark night.

->''We'll put it down to vandals. Let's get out of here before we get our collars felt.''

* InsaneTrollLogic: Del offers up a long, rambling explanation of how his (or more precisely, Trigger's) stealing paint will rescue the British economy in the longer run. Rodney is so dumbstruck by Del's arguments that he switches the subject of the conversation to how the watch Del gave him doesn't actually work.
