'Is it hard to cash checks?'
Why did the guy stare at Joe weird when he said that?
That's a very fine Chardonnay your not drinking.
Could you put that in a bit more context. I can't quite recall the dialogue in question.
There's a moral to this story Del Boy but for the life of me I can't find it!
The agent from Washington called him Joe.
And Donnie says. Donnie, call me Donnie. I don't want to get confused.
And the agent says, I know what you mean pal, even I have trouble remembering my name sometimes.
And Donnie says: Yeah? Makes it hard to cash checks.
My take, was that the agent was trying to play like he is a friend of Donnie, both being on the same side. And Donnie said what he said realizing that this guy is not in the trenches like him, he just cashes his paycheck every week, and lets guys like Donnie do all the dirty work.
Ah I remember and you're right. I think the guy was actually his boss. At the time I remembered it as being Donnie's first example of starting to show a hint of insubordination as a result of how deep he was getting into his character.
