Factory Meets London Records, Explained：drop a bollock
London Records arrives to sign Factory's band, but Tony Wilson isn't impressed by the suits or the vine leaves. "You'll hear the vocals, Roger, when we hear the offer" is the whole scene in one line: the label wants a finished record, the label's owner wants a promise first.
あらすじ
The scene cuts between Factory's office meeting and Tony Wilson hosting Wheel of Fortune, then lands at a gathering where Roger Ames of London Records comes courting. The Manchester crowd mocks the polite southern spread, Shaun leaves for Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Tony withholds the vocals until he hears a real offer.

What's really going on
Everyone is being polite on the surface, but the deal is really about who holds the power. Roger Ames praises the table and says "what a table!" while the Manchester crew calls the food rabbit feed. Tony sits in the middle, playing the host and the hard man at once: "You'll hear the vocals, Roger, when we hear the offer." That line makes the label wait, which is the only leverage a small independent has. The visit is a performance on both sides — London wants the band, Manchester wants to be courted, not bought. Even Tony's mockery of his own on-screen narration keeps reminding us that he is always aware of the story being told around him.
Theme
MoneyA small Manchester label and a big London company circle each other over who pays for the record.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Rob hate the name London Records so much?
Rob is a Manchester punk who sees the label name as the sound of the south taking over. For him it is not a contract, it is a surrender, and Tony shrugs it off as just a name.
What does drop a bollock mean?
It is British slang for making a serious mistake. When Rob agrees he has dropped one, the scene treats a bad business move as something to laugh about, not hide.
Why does Tony refuse to play the vocals for Roger?
Because London Records has not made an offer yet. Tony is using the band's song as leverage, and he wants the label to commit money before it hears the finished product.
Why does Shaun leave for Kentucky Fried Chicken?
He is disgusted by the stuffed vine leaves Tony serves the London guests. Walking out for fried chicken is his way of rejecting the polite, southern front everyone else is putting on.
Is the real Tony Wilson in this scene?
Yes. Tony breaks the fourth wall to point out that the man playing the director is the real Tony Wilson, and he starts naming other real people from the Manchester scene who appear in the film.
