OLIVIA             Feast your eyes, boys and girls! (opens sack and empties out stolen jewels onto table) 

GANG              Wow! Cor! Nice work! etc 

BAD                 Lots of hankies-worth there! 

OLIVIA             Will you shut up about your bloomin hankies! This is my passport to travel, fast cars, designer clothes! 

BAD                 Maybe just one or two hankies? (gets a glare from OLIVIA, but carries on pathetically)  I got a runny nose. 

FAGIN             And the two of you are alone, Bill. That’s good news. I’m glad you saw sense and didn’t take that dog of yours    along. 

BILL                 Ah. (shuffles feet embarrassedly) 

OLIVIA             That stupid dog of his nearly got us caught, Fagin!

FAGIN             What’s that, Bill? 

BILL                She was only being playful, Fagin. 

OLIVIA             Playful my foot! She’s a liability! We got in there, no problem, found the jewels, bagged them up, and we were just going out again through the window when Fi Fi - 

BILL                 Frou Frou. 

OLIVIA             When Frou Frou decided to go sniffing around the kitchen for something to eat. 

BILL                 She was hungry! She always gets hungry in the night. I usually gives her a doggy snack at bedtime, only I forgot tonight. 

OLIVIA             She only found a mouse, didn’t she! 

BILL                 She likes mice. 

OLIVIA             Chased it round and round the kitchen, down the hall and into the living room, where she knocked over a table with a big glass vase on it, and SET THE ALARM OFF! 

BILL                 She was only playing. 

OLIVIA             We were lucky to get out of there in one piece, I tell you. Lights were going on in all the other houses, people shouting, all sorts. We only just made it. 

FAGIN              And where’s Frou Frou now, Bill?  (BILL looks miserable)  Bill?? 

BILL                 (mumbles pathetically) She shut her in. 

FAGIN              Shut her in? 

BILL                 We was just legging it through the window, and Frou Frou was following us out .... only she pushed her back in and slammed the window shut! 

GANG              (sympathetically)  Aaaahh. 

FAGIN              You’re a hard girl, Olivia. 

OLIVIA             And you’re a bunch of fools! Ever tried running for your life with a stupid great poodle jumping up at you, trying to lick your face and getting under your feet? 

BILL                 She’s just playful, that’s all! 

OLIVIA             Well she’s gone now, Bill. G-O-N-E gone! And we’re still here, free and in one piece. Think about it!
