Roy is puzzled that Moss seems to have mastered cockney football-speak. Moss reveals that it is all done with the help of football translation website 'bluffball.co.uk', and the pair try to pass as "proper" men for a couple of days. Having broken the language barrier and passing as knowledgeable football fans, Moss and Roy easily make friends; however, the friendship goes too far when Roy unsuspectingly helps them commit a robbery, making things worse by phoning the police when he does not realise that it is indeed his friends engaged in the misdemeanour. A terrified Roy is subsequently forced to evade the police, hiding inside a very dark truck. Once they have gone past, Roy starts sobbing uncontrollably, and utters the catchphrase "Did you see that ludicrous display last night?". Later, Roy is hanging out with his new friends and tries to leave, but Moss reveals that Roy indeed rang the police. The pair escape just as the robbers get angry and the police arrive, but believing they may appear suspicious, Moss kisses Roy against a garage door (several times) to avoid attention from the passing police. Elsewhere, having listened to earlier comments from Roy and Moss, Jen is having trouble dating a man who looks and acts like a stage magician. During the credits, it goes back to the scene in the truck: Roy has stopped crying, but he's still very nervous, and is talking random parts of conversation. Finally he wonders who shut the door.
