"I don't think you want to know how we make our money. If you really do, then

                   talk to Jano, he's the brain behind the operation," says Eik, and turns his head to
                   Janokovic:

                     "Jano, you lazy bastard, you’re asleep."

                   Eik walks a few meters to the opposite side of the bench, giving Janokovic a slap.
                     "Yeah… well," says Matt, "I don't think we have to talk about all this stuff now,

                   or what we're doing here. We've been very lucky, and now we're partying,

                   alright? "
                     "Yeah, let’s not talk about it," interjects Dan. "You've been clever boys, and that’s

                   great."
                     Now Bibi’s rubs herself up against Eik, caressingly, as she interrupts the

                   conversation, speaking directly in Eik’s ear.

                     "Maybe you can teach me some of your little tricks?" She says that in an almost
                   inaudibly voice.

                     Outside, in front of the park, buses with theatre guests are arriving. The first

                   performance of the Sunday is over, and the audience is buzzing in the streets.
                   Sundays means many tourists. Alongside the park, the people hop on and off the

                   tourist-buses. An hour before each performance, the area around the theatres
                   undergoes a transformation that almost surpasses the magic that plays out on

                   stage.

                     The theatre street and surrounding area are transformed into a melting pot of
                   people. The restaurants are packed, there are queues at the kiosks and ticket

                   sellers, alongside the souvenir shops and street vendors, are all shouting out

                   their offers. This all plays out in a blissful combination. When the last show of the
                   night has ended, the area changes back to normal. Then the buses disappear, the

                   guests finish their dinner at the restaurants and the souvenir dealers and ticket

                   sellers stops yelling. The people working with or around the downtrodden Tube
                   can have a sigh relief and breathe easy once again. The street sweepers can begin

                   the tedious work of cleaning up the roads.

                     An elderly couple that have bought sandwiches arrives very near The Skillers
                   and Brighton boys. They choose to sit down on a bench not far from the lads. The

                   elderly couple didn’t take notice of the young people, and is just sitting
