Overjoyed, Richie safely ensconces £300 on top of the bathroom cabinet where he believes no one will ever find it, and the duo take the remaining £300 down to the funfair where Eddie causes £45 worth of damage to a shooting stall.
Here the old fortune teller (Liz Smith) reveals to Richie that she knows his driving licence to be a fake and then describes his "secret love picture".
Convinced that the old woman has something (which Eddie believes to be dropsy) he asks her to tell his fortune and she reveals that before the moon rises three times, he will die.
Richie believes he could die of illness and rushes to the hospital, where, after causing much havoc with the nurse (Helen Lederer) and the patients, he is granted a clean bill of health by Sir Roger Cobham (Roger Brierley), a famous heart surgeon, who kicks him out immediately afterward.
Richie is relieved, but on the way out he and Eddie accidentally push an old man (Nick Gillard) down a lift shaft that is still under repairs.
Realising that Eddie could be the cause of his death and intends get his hands on Aunty Olga's £300, Richie throws him out of the flat.
They realise that it was the fortune teller who stole Richie's wallet, and therefore knew of its contents – the forged driving licence and nude collage of Julia Somerville.
At the funfair when Richie realises that his wallet is missing, he originally called the fair staff "thieving bastard gypos" (a derogatory nickname from "gypsies", i.e., Romani).
