 Before they begin painting, Mr. Chin explains that he received a telephone call from a man who did not give his name (later revealed to be Del) and said that the health inspector was coming to see him, and he better get his kitchen painted as soon as possible.A few days later, back at Nelson Mandela House, Trigger arrives with another load of paint for Del, and upon being questioned by Rodney as to where the paint came from, reveals that he and Monkey Harris stole it from a storage shed in Clapham Junction, and that the paint is used for painting signs inside railway tunnels.Rodney is infuriated that they have been using stolen paint, which leads to an argument between Del and Rodney about the ethics of doing so, Del giving a long argument that stealing paint is good for the economy.
