" Shut up!" "No, I'm not gonna tell her that." "I'm not gonna tell her anything." "Right, cause if I need to clear a route with my bare fucking hands all the way to Camp Bastion" "I'm getting you out of this gash pit." "Do you hear me?" "And it's not gonna be, what is it, Sofia, fucking Alexander it'll be fucking Smudge Junior, or Smudgella." "And I'll tell you something else, mush, you're gonna fucking make selection and all." "You're gonna be the first fucking one-legged, bunny-hopping badge there's ever been, alright?" "So none of this fucking platform four, self-pity fucking bullshit." "We spent too much BST getting you this far." "We haven't given up on you, the least you could do is not give up on us, you cunt." "Jesus, Smudge, easy on." " 'Gash pit'." " Shut the fuck up." "Fucking beautiful." "Shit." "Tug, it still fucking hurts." "The morphine'll work, pal." "You just got to give it time." "It's been a fucking hour, man." "It's been half an hour, Ken." "Let me tell you something, Ken." "The more you shout, the faster your heartbeat, the quicker you'll bleed out." "Alright, so it's for your own good, and ours, just shut your fucking jimmy, alright." "OK, OK." "Alright, Mark, I'm just gonna have another look at this, yeah?" "It's gonna fucking hurt so bite down, mate." "OK." "Right, all of you."

"You don't need to fucking worry about that anymore, do you, Barlow?" "I'm gonna be fucking legless every night, now." "Ken Barlow." "Hey, lads." "I just realised, we don't need to worry about the third mine anymore." "Good old Ken's fucking found it for us." "Cheers Ken!" " Always getting dicked, mate." " The really funny thing is boys... they didn't get fucking planted here, they all just washed off the hill and down to the river beds." "There could be fucking hundreds of them..." "All around here." "All around us." "Great place for a fucking bimble, lads." "Quick snipe, then it's tea and fucking medals." "Cas evac, ten minutes." "What's his name..." "fucking, urn, Jeffery Dahmer?" "No." "Two more." "Jack the Ripper." "No." "Last guess, make it a good one." "Come on, give me, give me some more..." " What did you say?" " 'Rules is rules, Stu." "I just had my fucking leg blown off, mate." "Is that how it's gonna be now?" "'Oh, my poor leg." "Lend us a quid, Smudge." "Alright, fuck off." " Hannibal Lector?" " Nah." "Let's call it quits." "Harold Shipman." "Harold fucking who?" "Harold Shipman, the doctor of death." "No, I've never heard of him." "Of course you have." "He killed, like, two-hundred people, maybe more." "He's not, like, fucking world famous, is he?" "He's from your neck of the woods." "You know exactly who I'm talking about." " Well, there's not a fucking plaque to him." " He's up there." "You'd be surprised." "We're never getting out of here." "I reckon you made him up." "Ten minutes." "Kenneth Arthur Barlow." "Hey, Ken!" " It still fucking hurts." " Yeah, that's good, mucker." "If it's hurting it means you're alive, mate." "Alright?" "Stu." "Stu, punch your card." " My camera..." " ..." "Fucking camera, pal." "I need more fucking morphine." "You take the pain, Stu." "You're a big lad, you'll be alright." "Mark?" "No fucking snoozing, boys, yeah?" " Prosser?" "You with us?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Keep talking to me, Prosser." "Talk about what?" "You tell me, pal." "We could talk about the weather." "Short, fucking conversation." "Tell you what, I'm trying to think if I've had worse birthdays than this." "And I've had some shit ones." "When I was eight, my... mum and dad clean out fucking forgot." "All day long I was thinking they're just pretending." "They're gonna spring this monster fucking surprise on me." "Even when I'm having my tea in the bath getting into fucking bed..." "I'm thinking, 'These guys are good." "Then they shut the door, turned out the lights and that was it." "I cried like a burst fucking drain." " Then they came back in though, yeah?" " No." "No." "They fucking forgot." "But this is shitter." "Well, we can do something about that, can't we boys?" "Stu." "Ken, Mark." "Happy birthday to you!" "Right, come on boys, fucking loud, Stu." "Happy birthday to you!" "Louder!" "Happy birthday, David Prosser, happy birthday to you!" "One more time, boys, loud."

"I think I've got a bottle of champagne in the fucking bag." "Looks like you're out of luck, mate." " It's funny..." " What's that?" "My mum always said I was born under a lucky star." "How?" "Kept on winning things, you know, like raffles and stuff." "Yeah." "I won her a pair of diamond earrings at the Sabre Centre." "She always wore them when I came home." "And I've always felt lucky." "My life." "My job." "Gill." "So lucky." "You're no' fucking wrong, Mark." "You're the luckiest guy I know, mate." "You could sail through a shit storm, buddy and come out smelling of fuckin' roses."
