"Well, then, tell your boys to shoot me right now." "I mean it, Martell." "I've fucking had enough." "Nobody wants his fucking head on a plate more than me!" "And I'm gonna do it myself." "Not for you." "All you're gonna do is profit." "Well, I ain't seen any fucking profit." "You're on the hook." "All you gotta do is wait for him to get released, and we'll have a big fucking party, okay?" "Don Barber is not long for this fucking life, okay?" "I can assure you that." "I fucking hope so." " Take the next left." " What?" "We're making a detour." "Yeah?" "All right." "Delivery's in 40 minutes." "We got time." "What's going on, Skinny?" "What do you want?" " Robbo." " Well, he ain't here, pussy hole!" "So where is he, then?" "Let him talk." "He's probably high as a kite on your little farm, blood." "Pussy hole!" "See, last night, you go in there like a bad man, Skinny, trying to make man look small." "But you know what?" "I ain't fucking having it." " I gave you your dough." " No." "You owe me." "You're always gonna owe me." "What do you think, just 'cause you got some new friends," "I'm gonna disappear or something?" "Nah." "What the fuck do you want?" "I want you to show me some fucking respect." "Or I swear I'm gonna burn down this blood clot!" "You can fucking afford it now, though, yeah?" "Get the fuck out of here, pussy hole." "Pussy!" "Get out!" "Teach you mugs not to fuck with my paper!" "Get the fuck out of there!" "Open the fucking door!" "God, you fucking..." "In the back." "You all right?" "Sure?" "You got somewhere to stay, bruv?" "Betsy's." "I'll stay on the couch." " Yeah?" "Good, girl." " Yeah." "Mickey, we're out of time." "See you later, yeah?" "What is all this shit, man?"

"Got somewhere else to be, have you?" "You want check cargo?" "Now you give number." "Here is a toast to lowering trade barriers." "Zdorovie." "Mickey, man." "Michael Skinner." "How well do you know him?" "Well enough." "I've seen his record." "Between you and me, I don't think he's cut out for your line of work." "He could be a real liability." "I mean, you put him under pressure, you never know what he might say." " He'll be fine." " He'll be fine?" "You need to believe that, Mr. Barber?" "Come here, you fuck!" "Get off!" "Skinny, what the fuck are you doing?" "You wait till my boys find out." "What boys?" "What you going up about?" "You're on your own now." "What's going on, man?" "Betsy." "Listen, I'm sorry, Skinner." "Come on." "Oh, he's sorry." "Skinner!" "Skinny!" "You can't do this!" "It's just not you." "It's not who you are." "Skinny, come on, man." "We go way back." "Fucking finish him." "Let's get the fuck out of here." "Fuck him." "Send Mr. Barber back to the custody suite." "You halting the interview?" "You gotta release my client." "Now, you've been holding him here for... 19 hours and 22 minutes, which leaves us still 4 hours and 38 minutes." " This is ridiculous." " Don't worry about it." "One deceased, Peter Adams..." "Do you have any idea where his head is, Mr. Barber?" "Oi?" "Bolly for the ladies?" "Floyd, Nelson." "Mickey." "Here's to Mr. Skinner." "Mr. Skinner." "Christ!" "There he is." "The refugee from Butlins." "Well, gents, the emcee is profoundly privileged to be here and is exceedingly happy to see you all looking so dapper." " Hear, hear!" " Cheers." "Cheers." "Yes, and it's his duty to report that we have a live one downstairs." "My turn." "Time to check the goods." "Well, well, well." "Cheer up, darling." "Good journey?" "You not joining in the party?" "Oh." "You're not causing trouble, are you, darling?" "Fuck you, fat asshole." "Oh, yeah?" "You keep talking dirty to me like that, darling, and you could become my new girlfriend." "You paying attention, ladies?" "Yeah?" "'Cause this is what happens to troublemakers." "Fat bastard enjoys his work too much." "Yeah?" "Yeah?" "Yeah?" "They're gonna hang on to Don a little bit longer." "But, um, sooner or later, he'll be a free man." "And when that happens, you'll be reunited." "If he finds out about me, he will find out about you." "Clever girl." "Actually, I'm kind of counting on that, so we got about 4 hours to kill here, and I'm just kind of... curious to know whether you can handle the protégé." "It's not like that." "How is it?" "Don't tell me he's got you wrapped around his little finger, okay?" "I mean, come on, Liza." "What the hell is that?" "It's a little bit late in the day for that kind of bullshit information." "Surely to Christ." "What is it?" "Skinner party has arrived." "What will happen next?" "Listen, are you gonna take care of business, or do I have to do it for you?" "I'm gonna call Frankie." "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." "Well, I can tell you're gentlemen because I hear a certain thumping under the table, because you're anticipating an evening... an evening of unbridled lust." "Yes!" "Stop salivating on the tables or you'll rot the cloth." "Tonight we have a veritable feast of the flesh." "Flesh in all shapes, sizes, colors, and tastes." "Because the meat should be fresh, juicy, and succulent." "And I mean succulent." "Well, it's like when you go shopping in your weekly supermarket." "We think it's perfectly normal." "Yes!" "So, come on." "Who will start the bidding?" "Thank God you came back." "They will take me back to the flat soon." "Give me the keys." "I'll meet you there after you're finished." "We don't have long." "Long?" "To do what?" "Rip off your boyfriend with the Yank?" "What's wrong with you?" "I'm fine." "And I'm holding on to the keys." "You don't understand." "You don't know what Don can do to people." "You don't know what kind of man he is." "Please." "I need them." "You need someone else." "Hey, kids." "Better drink up." "Gonna be late for the big show." "Then what are we waiting for?" "Some people think that love conquers all." "Where I come from, I think that maybe sometimes love needs a little bit of help." "Yes!" "Now let's start the bidding for this saucy little minx from Estonia." "And saucy... well, we mean saucy, because we gents love a little bit of saucy, don't we?" "We love a little bit of naughty, don't we?" "So exercise your imaginations and give us a little bit of the... 5,000 for you, sir?" "Yes, 5,000. 5,500, yes." "6,000?" "Buy cheap, sell high." "That's the only rule." "10,000." "Any more than 10,000?" "Come on, 10,000." "That's only 100 nights with a SoHo whore, and she'll go on for 5 or 10 years, I guarantee you that." "And if, you know, you feel like a part exchange at the end of 10 years, you can take it back, so long as it's not damaged." "Yeah, slap it." "Very nice." "Okay, thank you very much." "Lovely to see you all." "Now, let's bid for the next one." "Thank you." "Okay, gentlemen, a nice round of applause for Ivana." "Come on, put your hands together." "Stop playing pocket billiards." "That's right, Ivana." "And she's lovely, from Estonia..." "Hell of a woman, that Liza." " Well, you'd know, wouldn't you?" " Yeah." "You and her make a great team." "She must think I'm a right cunt." "Well, if she did, you'd be the last person to find that out, believe me." "Well, you're the expert, ain't you?" "No." "I've just been around for a really long time, and there's certain things I know how to sit with." "Okay?" "Liza hasn't come around yet, but she will, in her own due time." "Sounds fucking great." "Well, it's the price of doing business in my business, son." "Mr. Substitute Don Barber." "So, you and her..." "What?" "There is no me and her." "There's no me and anyone." "There's only profit and loss." "And believe me when I tell you, I'm gonna profit." "What if I just go and tell the others?" "Well, where is the coin?"
