"And you'd be doing me a favour." "Harry had a talent for finding people, just when they were becoming lost." "I knew about The Stardust and the mob Harry had collected there." "Ruby Ryder." "Ruby's a film star." "I knew what he did for a living." "Eddie warned me about the long firms, the short cons, the dodgy property deal in Africa." "I was in show business." "I didn't care." "I was used to crooks." "Everybody who was somebody had a gangster connection." "It was the height of fashion." "Ah!" "And this..." " This is my young friend Tommy." " Hello." "You're Ruby Ryder." "You're really famous!" " No, just notorious." " You was in the newspapers." " Tommy!" " She was!" " Tommy wants to be an actor." " Spare yourself the agony!"

"He was collecting me like he collected everyone else there." " What are you doing next?" " I'm not busy." "I've been reading some scripts, but that's it." " Having fun?" " Yeah." "I've had a good night." "I'm glad I came." " I think you're good at this, Rube." " Good at what?" "Good at people." "Everyone loves you." " Tommy adores you." "I can tell." " Really?" "Why don't you take him in hand, teach him a few tricks of the trade?" " Harry, I can't teach him anything." " Course you can." "Tom?" "Tom!" "Sit down." " Ruby'll give you a few pointers." " I'm a bit rusty." " Rusty?" "You're so modest." "Isn't she?" " Yeah." " I am." " You're gonna fit right in here, Rube." " Where we going?" " To the top!" "Cheers!" "(MAN) I've got it." "Mind the step." "Don't do yourself a mischief, sweetheart, you're only little!" "Isn't he nice, your Tommy?" "I think he's lovely." "Here you are." "One month's rent." "The keys."

"Judy cancelled Göteborg so I come back early." "This place is a pigsty!" "Harry!" "It's er..." "It's not what it looks like." "Harry, this ain't what you're thinking." "Come here, you." "No." "Oh." "Now I've seen it all." "Go on." "Shoot me." " Go on." " Don't push me, Harry." "Oh, but I am, Tommy." "I am pushing you." "Why not?" "What are you gonna do?" " I'll fucking do you." " Go on, then, do me." "Let's see what you got, you silly little sod!" "What are you waiting for?" "Are you gonna break into song?" "Eh?" "Eh?" " You little bastard!" " Yeah." " Go on, then!" "Kill me!" " No!" "(GUNSHOT)" "(HARRY) Oh, fuck!" "Harry!" "It was like a bad dream." "A recurring dream where you've killed somebody and you can't live with yourself." "(KNOCK AT DOOR)" "Just leave it there." "Wait outside." "Fuck!" "Are you gonna give me a hand with this?" "What are we doing?" "Right." "This never happened." "Tommy ain't got any family, so no one's reporting him missing." "If anyone asks you, you don't know where he is." " Harry..." " I don't wanna talk about it." " Look, I just..." " Shut up." "I just wanna say I'm sorry." "Because I am." "I'm so sorry." "If you hadn't shot the fucker, I would have." "You don't mean that." "How do you know what I mean?" "Just go home, Ruby." "(RUBY) I've been as bad as you could be." "But I wasn't a bad person, just a bad judge of character." "On the outside, Harry always looks in control." "But inside, inside he just wants to destroy himself." "And without people like us around to make him feel loved, the destructiveness rules him." "That's why The Stardust failed." "That's why all his businesses fail." "Because Harry Starks likes people." "He needs people more than he realises." "♪ Fool that I am" "♪ For falling" "♪ In love with you" "♪ And a fool that I am" "♪ For thinking" "♪ You loved me too" "♪ You took my heart... ♪"
