• Policeman : This is a formal interview under caution. Do you understand that, Fenton? Hey, do you understand?

  Arbor : Yeah.

  Policeman : A witness saw two youths burning railway or communications cable.

  Michelle 'Shelly' Fenton : That's nowt to do with him.

  Policeman : Cable theft is a very serious crime, Mrs. Fenton. Trespass on the railway is £1,000 fine.

  Arbor : I ain't been on railway.

  Policeman : Vandalism, endangering lives, maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

  Michelle 'Shelly' Fenton : He's just a kid. He ain't nicked no cable. You're looking at wrong place.

  Policeman : He is, as you say, Mrs. Fenton, a minor. There's unscrupulous people out there getting kids to do their dirty work so they don't get into trouble with the police themselves.
