"And you get the best of both worlds." "A share of the profits, none of the hassle." " And your legacy secured." " Not interested." "You could retire in luxury." "What, you think I wanna buy my retirement by selling my soul?" "Nat, you've done it." "You've achieved the Immigrant dream." "You've got your own Business- Your son's a big-time lawyer." "How long can you and some Ethiopian kid keep it up?" "My grandfather was born in Stepney, my father was born in Walthamstow... and I was born in Ilford, you stupid, Ignorant barrow boy." "You don't wanna do this, old man." "Do you know how long the Jews have been around?" "And how many times people have come for us?" "No one cares about this place." "It dies with you." "Hey, mister, I'm not from Ethiopia, I'm from Darfur, and I care." " I don't like bullies." " Yeah." " He'll be knocking on your door." " Yeah, especially if we win." "I'm not doing it." "It's Important." "Our future depends on it." "I thought you said you were good at this." "Well, it's been a while." "It's inappropriate employer-employee relations." "What do you know about it?" "You've been in the lob five minutes, and you're living with me already." "Come on, don't be a baby." "All right?" "Right." "Just..." "Look, put your..." "Put that foot..." "Put your foot back."

" Mel" " Oh, that's all right, than." " Fuck." "See?" "That's why we need to practice." "I don't want to kill her, do I?" "Right?" " You've still got it, Nat." " So is that a "yes"?" "I know men like you." "You keep trying to butter me up and sweep me off my feet..." " Just to get what you want" " You got me." "I'd like to help, Nat, but Cotton is threatening to pull out." "Cotton's bluffing." "Everything's gonna be fine." "I just need a little more time, trust me." "All right." "You did what?" "Hold her she should sell to me and not to Cotton." "I can raise the money." "Besides, I think Mrs. Silverman is sweet on me." "This is crazy." "I mean, the turnaround at the shop has been marvelous." "But it won't last." "Think about it." "Take a break." "Olivia would love you to take her on holiday during half-term." "Maybe the seaside." " She'll understand." "This is your retirement you're gambling with." "Your inheritance, you mean." "Dad, you didn't send me to Cambridge so I could become a baker." "I'm partner in one of the country's biggest law firms." "I don't even know what the shop is worth." " This is family business." " So is the shop." "Who the hell are you, anyway?" "You turn up out of the blue and all of a sudden you're living with my dad?" " His mother is too." " Is this your plan?" "Worm your way in and get it all for yourself?" " Work my father into his grave?" " Stephen, enough." "Because I can tell you what definitely isn't family." "You." "You talk about family?" "This is a family business, and he is the only one who cares." "You know, Mom was really proud of me." "Why can't you be?" "Just go, will you?" " Dad." " Go." "Now." "Bloody hell." "Yeah, it's all right, it's all right." "Get a brush, will you?" "Looks like you're an old pro, Nat." "It's been a long time since I've done this." "You were a great boxer?" "Yeah." "Yeah, the next Kid Berg." "Never mind." "You know, the community's getting smaller." "We cannot rely on Jews." " There's nothing new there." " And your point ls?" "If we increase our range, we'll attract more new customers." "Are you getting this from a book?" "No, the internet." "Will you still be able to bake?" "Oh, yeah." "I'll always be able to bake." "My father trusted me with it." "Next time I see him," "I don't wanna tell him I let it all go kaput." "He must have loved you very much to leave you something so special." " Did your father give you that?" " Yeah, in a way." "Ha hid it on me in case we needed to bribe someone." " What happened?" " The Janjaweed." "Always the Janjaweed." " Who?" "Men on horses with guns." "They rode into our village and did terrible things." "Yeah, attacking Muslims." "Madness." "Where's your father now, Ayyash?" "My mother and I made it to the Red Cross." "Yeah, we waited, but it was too dangerous." "We had to make it across the border." "We waited again for many months, but he never came." "Is he dead?" "My mother likes to pretend he's not." "You know, no one cared about us, Nat." "My father was a hero in our village." "You know, he saved lives, but we lost everything." "You know, we were a real family." "It's better he ran and came with us." "Yeah, but if he'd run, would you still be wearing his ring'?" "Well, if he does come for it," "I don't want it covered in dough." "Give it here." "There you go." "I don't want you losing it." "Thank you." " Hey, it looks good." " Yeah?" " Lord, I look old." " You didn't know?" "You have mirrors." "Cheeky bugger." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "Yeah, we don't shave, after your wife dies." "It's a sign of mourning." " How long for?" " Thirty days, normally." "How long since she died?" "Well, it'll be two years on the 28th." "I mean, why would he take her and not me?" "She only ever done good in the World." "If you were God, who would you rather spend time with?" "What do you think?" " Hello?" " Where have you been?" " Busy, working for you." " Why did you miss the drop?" " And why is your place all cleared out?" " it got flooded." " Listen." " I'm nearly sold out." "You'll have your money soon, I swear." "Ayyash you don't want me to come to you." "You don't want that, trust me." " Look, I've got to go." " Don't you... hang up." "It's nearly prayer time." "Don't you think God, Allah, whatever... gets a bit fed up of listening to you five times a day?" "He hasn't told me to shut up." "Think my Esther would approve." "She always dressed nice." "Yeah, I think it's time to start living again." "Maybe you can start by taking that holiday." "Make Olivia happy." "Yeah, who'd look after the shop?" "You?" " Why not?" " The big man." "You've been a baker for five minutes." "Feels longer." "Joanna." "Oh, my, look at you." "Very distinguished." " This is Mrs. Silverman?" " And you must be "the boy."" "Ayyash." "Pleased to meet you." "I heard you worked wonders with the shop." "I still have a lot to learn, but Mr. Dayan is a very good teacher." "Is he, now?" "I certainly hope so." "Well, maybe you'll find out at the next tea dance." "I look forward to it." " What was that?" " I've no Idea." " Tomorrow, okay?" " What?" "Look after the shop." "You know, just for the day." "See how it goes." "Hey." "Mr. Dawn's not here." "Look, I don't want any trouble." "Give me two bagels, five muffins." "Keep the change." "Yeah." " Hello, boys." " Hello, Nat." "Everything all right?" " it's about the shop." "What?" "is there a problem?" "Is Ayyash all right?" "That's what we wanted to talk to you about." " All fight?" " Nat." "What are you doing?" "What is it?" "Oh, shit." " It's in the dough." " I can explain." " It's in all the dough." " I'm sorry, I..." " Why?" "Why are you doing this?" " I did it for us." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Get out." "They told me about you." "The police." "They came to my house." "I didn't wanna believe them." "I didn't want to." "I should never have trusted one of you people." "Get out." "Cannabis?" "That's ridiculous." "I'm a bit peeved I didn't think of it first, really." "Do you think the old man knows?" "Who cares?" "And you're sure about this?" "I'll have thorn tasted first thing in the morning." "And when I do, he's finished." "Hold on, I've got another call." "Yeah?" "Someone to see you, Mr. Cotton." "What, now?" " I'm ready to do a deal." " I bet you are." " What?" " No, great great." "Keep a few kosher items for the community after I've gone." " That's my only condition." " Sure, sure." "You have my word." "I want it in writing." "Oh, is that the time?" "Look, I'll get the contracts drawn up tomorrow." "About lunchtime, that okay?" " Okay." " Yeah, all right?" "Well, I'll see you then, then." "Yeah." "You behave like a Jew... and I'll treat you like one." "Where's my money?" "You know, I always read the local newspaper..." ""because I like to know what's going on in my neighborhood." "Usually fuck all." "Then all of a sudden I look at this." "Struggling local business does good, eh?" "A little old Yid and a stinking Muzzle working in harmony." "It's touching, that ls." "Now tell me you're as clever as I think, you took your cut off the top." "Well, if that's where my money went, that's where I'm gonna get it." "Step away from it." "I mean it!" "I'm not gonna tell you again." "You really wanna do this?" "You wanna go up against me to protect some old Jew?" "Look at this place." "Someone should put it out of its misery." "Stop, don't!" "Stop, stop!" "Stop it, stop!" "Thank you, Frodo." "Come on, then." "Come on." "Get that there." " Get that down there." " Okay." "Please, don't say anything." "Bloody hell, Nat, I didn't think it was Hanukkah time already." "Let me through, please." "Excuse me." "This is my place." "Oh, my God." "Joanna, you'll catch your death of cold." "I had a phone call to come down here Immediately." "What the hell happened?" " Was it a terrorist attack?" " Don't worry." "Don't worry?" "Don't worry?" "You blew up my nest egg." "I trusted you." "You said everything would be fine." "Mrs. Silverman, I have to ask you to calm down." "You can ask all you like, sonny, but don't you bet on anything happening... not until I get some bloody answers." "I never meant for any of this to happen." "You bloody Idiot." " Nat." " You bloody idiot." " After all I've done for you." " You did it for yourself." " What?" " I heard you." "You thought it was me, my baking." "We could stay as long as we want." "You pretend we're family, but you only care about your shop." "I don't want you in my house." "I don't want you near my family." "You're nothing to me." "Never trust a Jew." "We had nothing." "What also was I to do?" "Oh, Ayyash." "Come back." "Come here." "What am I gonna tell your mother?" "How about A for arson, B for burglary," "C for cannabis, and D for dealing?" "Yeah, because I'm nicking you for the lot." "Now move." " For the pain" " Allah forbids." "What about puffing on your magic dragon?" "I don't. it's just a job." "Yeah." "You can stay here for your mother's sake, but we're finished." " I'm selling up." " You're what?" "You can't just..." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, thanks, officer." "Yeah, no, I understand." "That's ridiculous." "Who'd believe such a thing?" "Yeah." "Yeah, all right, I'll tell him." " Right, thanks for calling." " No problem." "They managed to get him before he cleared out." "He'll be going down." "They said they won't press charges against you..." ""because of your ongoing cooperation." " Then it's over." " Well..." "Victor's telling stories about the bakery and cannabis." "Police don't believe him." "In any case, he torched the evidence, didn't he?" "I saw Cotton tonight." "We do the deal tomorrow, then we'll go our separate ways." "Look, Nat, please, don't do this." "No, it's a done deal." "Look..." "Cotton came in today." "I dropped some of the stuff on the floor." "I think he saw it." "He knows." "What are you talking about?" "He bought goods." "He suspects." "He bought g..." "Oh, God, that's why he was acting so strange." "He knows, doesn't he?" "He's gonna screw me for everything I've got." "Of course, he'll need proof." "Yeah, he'll have them tested, wen'!" "he?" "I'll have to get them back." "Nat, what are you doing?" "You know this is crazy." " Nobody's asking you to come." " It's stealing, Nat." "It's exchanging." "I'll be in and out before he's any the wiser." "You know you can't do this, right?" "Listen, if he finds cannabis in my stuff, it'll back up everything Victor said." "Never mind a deal." "The police will have no option but to investigate." "So, I've got two choices." "Either I retire in luxury, or I retire in jail." " I'm coming with you." " I don't need your help." "It's my neck on the line too." "Do you even know what he bought?" " No." " Two bagels and five muffins." "Bagels and muffins, right." "All right, get baking." "Are you gonna help or not?" "Here." "Are you sure about this?" "My mother cleans places like this all the time." "I know how they work." "Yeah, but they're bound to know the regulars, aren't they?" "How long was it until you knew my mothers name?" "Fair enough." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." " Where are the regular cleaners?" " Sick with rabbit flu." "Rabbit flu?" "Never heard of it." "Yes, it's worse than pig- Very contagious." "You'd better get started, then." "Oh, God." "His office is this way." "Come on." "All right, come on." "Let's get started." "Evening." " Here." " What?" "No bagels and only two muffins." "Greedy pig." " I thought you said they came later." " How do I know?" " All right, come on." " Look out." "Oh, God." "I don't believe it." "Eenie, meenie, minie, mo..." "Oh, go on, your turn." " That's it, close the top." " Okay." "Right, come on, let's get out off here." " Come on, Nat." " I'm coming, I'm coming." "Hey, stop." "Come here!" " What now?" " Fire escape." " It will be alarmed." " Hardly matters now." "No, wall, wall." "Here." "We can get out this way." " You're joking." " No, no, no." "Don't worry, I've done this before." " Come on, come on." " I cant" "Here, let me try." "My trusty tool." " Come on." "Up you come." " Thanks." "What now?" " We can jump- Are you crazy?" "Come on." "Dust like Butch and Sundance." " Who?" "What are you doing?" " Dad." " Yeah?" " You're doing the right thing." " Yeah." "I think you'd better wait outside." "Nat, Steven." "So sorry to hear about the fire, but I just want you to know it don!" "change a thing." "Yeah." "Joanna, didn't know you'd be here." "Hello, Nat." "Mr. Cotton told me you were selling up today." "I thought I'd do the same." " No point in messing about." " Yeah." "Sit down, Stephen." "Are you gonna do that, or we gonna get on with the deal?" " What's the rush?" " Bad smell in here." "Well, maybe it's that you know... that I know." "Know what?" " You know." " What are you talking about?" "Nat's been loading his goods with marijuana." "I saw it with my own eyes." "It was nothing." "It was only a..." "Prove it." " Did you know about this?" " No." "Best Bridge Club ever." "Bought some off Abdul here yesterday." "Got the munchies a bit later, I can tell you." "But I saved some for the lab boys... and I've got the results right here." "New, we don't have to go to the police but what you have to do is walk away from the shop with nothing." "You haven't got anything." "If you had, I wouldn't be sat here, would I?" "They'd have me down the station." "I know what you did, I bloody know it." "You can't prove it, though, can you?" "Bloody hell." "All right." "Sign the contract." "Let's get this over with." " Oi, leave that alone." " What's that?" "What...?" "At are you hiding?" "Nothing." "A lot of fuss about nothing." "It's just something we've been working on." "What is it?" "It's nothing, nothing." "Sit down." "You're nut expanding, are you?" "You're building this monstrosity." "This is my worst store in London." "The shopping centers are breathing down my neck." "They want another car park." "I can make more money from cars than from customers." "Sign the contract, and so could you." "The area's gone to the dogs, anyway." "Just ask Mr. Halal over there." " What?" " All right, easy, son." "You didn't care about Danny, did you?" "You just wanted me out." "What do you care?" "He came to me for a few extra quid." "Danny did what he thought was light for his family." "Hey, I think it's time for that holiday." " Why don't you just...?" "Joanna... my business here is done." "Now, you can do what you like, it's your life, but the bakery is staying." "And so am I. So if... if you wanna talk about the future at all... perhaps we could do it over dinner sometime." "All right, Stephen?" "Come on, son." "Oh, and... you won't be needing this, will you?" "This isn't finished." "I'm raising your rent." "You're going under." "Well, if Nat's not going anywhere, neither am I." "You're gonna let some old git and a black towelhead terrorist take you down with them?" "Race and religion is Irrelevant, Mr. Cotton." "If you're a dickhead, you're a dickhead." "Bye-bye." "I almost forgot." " There you are." " Thank you." "I didn't moan what I said, you know, about you people." "Yeah, and I don't think you really bake with blood." " What?" " Nothing." "Hey, Nat." "Do you think I'll still be able to bake without"?" "You know." "What you made in my kitchen without any help was superb." " Nat." "Questions, questions." "You're starting to sound like a Jew." "Am I still on trial?" "A priest, a rabbi, and an Imam go into a pub." "The priest says, "Have a drink with me."" "The rabbi says, "I don't mind if I do."" "The Imam says, "I'd rather commit adultery... than allow alcohol to pass my lips"." "And the rabbi says, "Oi, I didn't know I had the choice."" " Better stick to baking, Nat." " Yeah." "Halal, in here?" "We won't stand for it, Nat." "Your father will be turning in his grave." "It's just business." "Besides, it's his Idea." "He's tripled my profits overnight." "Yeah, if you don't like it here, you can go elsewhere." "He's in charge while I'm away." "Can we get a couple of them... magic muffins as well?" " They don't do them anymore." " Oh, yeah." "Come on, Grandpa, we're going to miss our train." "Don't worry, Mr. Dayan." "I'll keep Ayyash out of trouble." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Come on, Livvy." "Here you go." " Let's go, Grandpa." " Some on." "Joanne." "Come on, we're gonna miss our train." "Come on." "Look at your trousers."
