After the cuts of De Foe talking to Alf, De Foe eventually saying "I'll see what I can do" and the cards are back lying on his other cards like they were when he first dropped them.

Answer: Mr Tanner actually asks Alf, "Why are you carrying our towels through the den?" The streaming subtitles are wrong when it substitutes "damp" for "den" twice. It's possible the error originated from the VHS or DVD, which occurs often.

Yes, I was re-watching episodes, and I heard "den" the next time. Thank you for answering, though.
