Eh, yah know. 'E told me **if I 'ad the skinny, he'd be sure to line my pocket**. It just so 'appens, I've got something he'd kill to know.
Tell me about it! A gent, your pal…I think he's dossed up with some chap at the missus Flemmings, on Melcombe Street. A door with flowers on both sides.
E must 'ave a room on the first floor. Eh, when he greases your hand, come pay me a visit. We'll have a few pins and after that -
Vielen Dank.

Er hat mir gesagt wenn ich was handfestes zu bieten hätte würde er mich angemessen belohnen
Grundsätzlich wird gesagt, dass da jemand für gute Informationen (the skinny) entsprechende Belohnung (line the pocket) bietet. Die schwungvolle Übertragung hakt bei mir noch etwas.
