"If I pick 'em up, will they stay in one piece?" "Where'd you get them?" "I got contacts." "Listen, Tom - you point them at me, I'll shit myself or do whatever you say." "Either way you get the desired effect." "They look very nice, I agree." "They're lacking in criminal credibility, ain't they?" "I might get laughed at." "How much d'you want for these muskets?" "700 each." "What - a pound for every year they been about?" "They're antiques, but I ain't paying antique prices." "Bit long, ain't they?" "Sawn-offs are out." "People want a bit more range these days." "I don't wanna blow the arse out of this country, but I don't want anyone blowing a raspberry either." "I want to look...fucking mean." "Of course you'll look mean." "You'll look really scary." "Enough." "What about this geezer who sells drugs?" "Rory Breaker's standing by." "You stand to make a lot of money, tubby Tommy?" "I understand this has come as a shock." "Let me tell you how this can be resolved by you, the good father." "Go on." " He likes your bar." " Yes." "He wants your bar." "And?" "D'you want me to draw you a picture?" "Look, that boy doesn't know his arsehole from his earhole." "This is my bar." "It's got nothing to do with him." "What, and I care?" "Remember, you have the luxurious advantage of being able to sustain your son's life." "You do have a reputation - so I'll choose my words very carefully." "You tell Harry to go fuck himself." "Now..." "I'll put that down to shock." "Only once." "Only once can l, or shall I, let you get away with that." "Your son's got three days to find half a mill." "Make up your mind which you prefer - your bar...or your son." "Plank goes in first." "There's a cage, but it's never locked, is it, Plank?" "Never." "Once he's set, he lets the rest of us in." "We'll get nasty, shit 'em up." "These wankers shouldn't give us any problems." "Like any cowboys - there'll be a few tools lying around." "When the job's done, we come straight back here and unload." "And Robert's your father's brother." "Everyone savvy?" "Sweet." "Have a look at these." "What are we supposed to do with these?" "Put them on your head, stupid." "Christ!" "If you think I'm turning up clean-shaven, greet them with a grin, you've got another think coming." "These fellas are your neighbours." "I thought it might be a good idea to disguise ourselves." "Right...er, good thinking, Soap." "Well done." "I brought weapons as well." "What do you mean weapons?" "These." "Jesus!" "Let's keep 'em covered up." "Couldn't you get anything bigger?" "What, like that?" "What d'you think?" "I think you need help." "Bar steward, can we have a coupla drinks, please." "Have you seen your dad?" "Hatchet sent one of his men round." "Oh, shit." "When?" "Crazy." "Where'd you get these, a fucking museum?" "Nick the Greek." "How much did you part with?" "700 for the pair." "Drachmas, I hope." "I'd feel safer with a chicken drumstick." "These are gonna do more harm than good." "Jesus, Tom." "Do these work?" "I don't know." "Look nice though." "I rather like 'em." "That's top of priorities, that is." "Ladies, back to more important issues, if you don't mind." "We've only got two real guns - apparently that's what they are." "So we find a good place to hide next door." "We wait till it's the right time, then jack-in-the-box," "look nasty and stuff, cocoon 'em in gaffer tape, nick their van, swap the gear into the new van and bring it back here." "As long as we're out of our hiding places quickly, it's the last thing you'd expect." "If Tom or anyone else feels like giving 'em a kicking," "I'm sure it won't do any harm." "Yeah, little bit of pain never hurt anybody." "If you know what I mean." "Also, I think knives are a good idea." "Big, fuck-off shiny ones." "Ones that look like they could skin a crocodile." "Knives are good because they don't make any noise." "The less noise they make, the more likely we are to use 'em." "Shit 'em right up." "Makes it look like we're serious." "Guns for show, knives for a pro." "Soap, is there something we should know about you?" "I'm not sure what's more worrying, the job or your past?" "Come on, girls." "Where the fuck are they going?" "Shift a piano?" "I thought this was meant to be a robbery." "Where'd they get those outfits?" "Not a bad idea that." "All right, it's Plank." "Is Willie there?" "No, I'm afraid he's not." "He's out at the moment." "Perhaps you can help." "Perhaps I can't, if you know what I mean." "If you could open the door so I could talk without shouting." "I can't help." "You'll find it's in your interest." "Hold on, OK?" "Willie, it's Plank for you." "He says it's in our interest." "I don't care if it's King-fucking-Kong, he's not coming in here, not today." "Hold on." "We are in business and...correct me if I'm wrong but that is business." "Corrected." "That's a walking accident we can do without." "Jesus." "He's OK..." "He knows only to buy weights now." "We're looking at at least a couple of thou'." "What do you think, Winston?" "Willie, this is the last time." "All right?" "You and the money are going out the back." "If he knows you're here, he'll be all day." "Just clear this shit up!" "What, now?" "Yes!" "Now!" "Just get rid of him quick." "All right." "Just coming." "What the fuck is he doing?" "Come on, I can't wait out here all day!" "Just coming." "I thought you was gonna leave me out there all day." "I didn't know you were a removals man, Plank." "Lives and learns, don't ya?" "Keep the gates locked now?" "Ya, sorry." "Gotta do business like this now." "Can't be too careful these days." "I know." "Say a word, the right ear goes, another your left!" " What are you doing, Plank?" " What do you think?" "Hang on, what are you doing?" "Unlock the gate!" "Unlock the fucking gate!" "That's it." "Go, go, go!" "Fucking move!" "What the fuck's going on?" "Hang on, I've got the keys." "The gate's locked." "I don't believe the fucking gate's locked." "What you done to Fauntleroy?" "I didn't touch him." "He passed out." "Shut the door!" "D'you want the world to see?" "What's going on down there?" "Shit!" "Charles, get the rifle out." "We're being fucked." "It must be this one." "Hold that gun." "Plank, give me the keys." "Don't point that at my bollocks!" "Planks of wood." "I'm working with fucking planks of wood." "Shit!" "What the fuck is that?" "What the fuck's that?" "It's my bren gun." "Haven't you got something more practical?" "Don't none of you slags move." "I'll kill the lot of you!" "Who you gonna kill, Plank?" "There's no one there?" "Aaagh!" "They fucking shot me!" "Well, shoot 'em back." "Jesus, Plank!" "Couldn't you get smokeless cartidges?" "Shit, I've been shot." "I don't believe this." "Could everyone stop getting shot?" "John, sit down and patch yourself up, you tart!" "It's a fucking air rifle!" " What the fuck was that?" " The bren gun." "Fire that gun again, you're a dead man." "No ifs, no buts, you're a dead man!" "I've got bollock ache with this." "Where's my fucking gun?" "Now I've got your attention." "Firstly, I'll blow his toes off." "There go his toes." "If you want me out of here, open the fucking gate or I'm gonna blow his leg off!" "They're gonna kill us if we do, man." "Poor J'll certainly get it if we don't." "He's serious." "I'm losing patience." "Hurry up, girls!" "It's all fucking right!" "Willie, he doesn't know you're here..." "Sort something out." "And all your friends, there's a good lad." " There's only three of us here." " I don't believe you." " I'm gonna blow his leg off." " There's only three of us!" " Plank?" " Yeah, one of 'em's out." "Open the gate." "Up, up, up, there's a good lad." "John, get them tied up." "Plank, where's the money?" "In those shoe-boxes." " Where?" " Out the back." " And the weed?" " Out the back." " Point." " With what?" " Your hands!" " I'm tied up." "Nod your head or something." "Check it out." "Plank, get Paul out that van lively." "Knife." "I'm gonna cut him." "Make sure he knows he's dead." "How you doing, Mick?" "How d'you think?" "He's nearly chopped my arm off." "Jesus Christ." "Gordon Bennett." "What the fuck's been going on here?" "Shut up, you idiot." "It's Hanukkah." "Don't just stand there." "Can you fit it all in?" "There's a lot..." "I can't get Epping Forest in my van." "Bollocks to can't." "You'll fit it all in if you have to make two trips." "Bollocks!" "If you don't move it, we will move it." " I'll only be a minute." " You've already been 15." " Come and have a look." " At what exactly?" " The van's half full." " So?" "All I've got to do is fill it up, put you in it..." "What?" "..and I'm off." "Can you carry more than one bag this time?" " I can't." "My neck, Dog." " How many more bags?" "Just a couple." "Mick, you dead yet?" "I'll be all right." "Once I've dealt with that lanky prick." "Do it quietly." "Time to say "Goodnight, nurse"." "Where the fuck did she come from?" "Tie her up." "We're out of here." "Not like that, you idiot." "Give it us here." "What you doing, Ed?" "D'you want one?" "No, I fucking don't." "You cannot make tea, Edward." "The British Empire was built on cups of tea." "And look what happened." "If you think I'm going to war without one, you're mistaken." "Going to war with what?" "Have you forgotten those guns, you dozy prat?" "You won't get away with this." " Paul, what's that?" " It's a traffic warden." "What's he doing in the back of the van?" "He was gonna call the cozzers." "Fair enough - we'll deal with him later." "How we doing, Tom?" "Right as rain." "I'm gonna take care of the cabs." "Keep us posted." "Do you do airports?" "Where are we gonna hide?" "Don't complicate things." "Just hide." "We're on." "They weigh a pound or two!" "Shut up and back up!" "Spin round, big boy." "Fuck!" "Stay down." "Stay down!" "Tie 'em up." "Tape 'em up." "Hands and face." "On the floor!" "Bend over the fucking desk." "Keys." "I want keys, now." "I'll find ya." "'Course you will, sweetheart." "I'll find ya." "What d'you think this is?" "Fucking hide and seek?" "That one." "Search that one." "Right, I'll see you in the van, when you've finished with handsome." "Jesus." "That wasn't too bad, was it?" "When the bottle in my arse has contracted, I'll let you know." "Bacon, see what we've got." "Let's have a butchers." "We've hit the jackpot, lads." "We've got God knows how much of this stinking weed." "A shitload of cash." "And a traffic warden." "What?" "Jesus, Ed." "We got a traffic warden." "I think he's still alive." "He's got claret coming out of him somewhere." "What did they want with a traffic warden?" "I don't know." "I don't think we need him." "Knock him out and dump him at the lights." "What d'you mean, knock him out?" "With what?" "Use your imagination." "Don't touch him up." "Knock him out." "I'll knock you out!" "You wanna knock him out, you knock him out." "I fucking hate traffic wardens." "It's about time you gave my young friends a visit, Chris." "Tomorrow's the day and mum's the word." "I can't have that, can l, Baz?" "No, Harry, you can't." "I mean it's a liberty." "I can't have a liberty taken, can l, Chris?" "No, Harry, you can't." "I mean, it's enough to give me the arsehole." "I can't have the arsehole, can l, boys?" "No, Harry, you can't." "All right, that's it." "We're done." "We're off." "Ed, are you sure it's a good idea taking this back to yours?" "It's the only place we can, and the last place they'll look." "Anyway, fuck it." "The battle is over and the war is won." "Tom, take this to Nick the Bubble and get rid of it quick." "This skunk is as good as it gets." "All right." "We'll take it." "Half price." "I don't think he'll like that." "You said three five a key." "That's a good price." "That was yesterday." "Now it's today if I'm not mistaken." "We'll take it tomorrow." "Half price." "If he wants to get rid of it quick, he'll have to take it." "Look, I've got a race coming up, so if you'd be kind enough..." "Lenny, take that round to Snow White and the three little chemists." "They should have a gander at that." "I want a second opinion." "Hang on a minute, Nathan, something stinks." "Yeah, your fucking aftershave." "Fuck you, funny man." "For God's sake, help me." "I'm in pain." "I'm in so much pain!" "Go in slowly, Nathan." "Fuck you, funny man." "You go first." "Get the fuck in there!" "I want this house searched for bugs, stripped." "Even if there was a bug, they'd have taken it with 'em." "It's a bit late for you to start thinking." "If it's a possibility, that's good enough for me." "Then I want every slag this side of Ceylon pulled in and tortured...badly." "I want to know who's responsible for this, otherwise I hold you responsible." "Not a bad day." "That pile takes care of Harry." "What's left over?" "Give me half a chance to count it." "What about this gear, then?" "Oh, what, you want a toke on that?" "No." "I don't want any of that horrible shit." "Can we lock up and get drunk now, please?" "We shot one of them..." "in the...er, throat." "What d'you want, a medal?" "I'll shoot you if I don't get my ganja back." "The one you shot." "Is he still in there?" "No, it was another one." "That's more like it." "Where is he?" "Well, they...they took him with them." "He's still, still alive." "What did you shoot him with?" "An air gun?" "Look, we grow weed." "We're not mercenaries." "You don't say." "Who could it be?" "Where do we start, Rory?" "Mr Breaker." "Today my name is Mr Breaker." "You think this is a coincidence?" "This white shite steals my things and thinks he can sell it back to me!" "He's got less brains than you, Lenny!" "Get Nick - the greasy wop shistos pezavengy gammore Greek bastard round here now, if he's stupid enough to be on this planet." "# Come with me, I'll fill you with desire" "# Take my hand and we'll walk this land together ##" "Your stupidity might be your one saving grace." "Uuh?" "Don't uuh me, Greek boy." "How is it your fucking stupid, soon-to-be-dead friends thought that they could steal my cannabis and then sell it back to me?" "Is this a declaration of war?" "Is this some white cunt's joke?" "'Cause I'm not fucking laughing, Ni-ko-las!" "You couldn't have known my position, 'cause you're not that stupid that if you did, you wouldn't have turned up here scratching your arse, with that "what's going on" look on your chevy chase." "But you do know where these people live." "If you hold back anything, I'll kill you." "If you bend the truth, or I think you are, I'll kill you." "If you forget anything, I'll kill you." "In fact, you'll have to work very hard to stay alive, Nick." "Do you understand everything I've said?" "Because if you don't, I'll kill you." "Now, Mr Bubble and Squeak..." "you may enlighten me." "So we've got a bit of a problem, ain't we?" "Er, well...yeah, we do." "In fact, this is a bit more than a bit of a problem." "It's the Mount fucking Everest of problems!" "The reason it's such a fucking monstrosity of a problem is... you haven't got the first idea who did this to us, have you?" "We've been up all night." "It's no one from round here." "We've had 'em all lined up against the wall." "If it was a toerag from the manor, we'd know." " We'd know." " You'd fucking know!" "You wouldn't know if it was the next door neighbours!" "Get out there and find them!" "I'm sick of the fucking sight of you!" ""Scarface" - I've watched "Scarface"." "If you want to know how to do a drug deal, watch "Scarface"." "That really inspires confidence." "This guy, Rory Breaker..." "Rory Breaker - psychotic black dwarf with an afro?" "That'll be the same man, yes." "I've heard of him - he's a fucking lunatic." "He can afford the deal at the price we're selling." "It's not worth him giving us any trouble." "He knows we'll be a pain in the arse." "Who needs that?" "I'd take a pain in the arse for half a million quid." "You'd take a pain in the arse for air miles." "The fatter you get, the sadder you get." "Will you stop flirting for a minute?" "After we pay Hatchet, this deal puts us up... nearly 200,000 pounds each." "Not bad for a morning's work, I think you'll agree." "So they had the cash." "And the puff." "Cheeky bastards." "Count it." "Shit, Dog." "There's a lot." "Do you want to do it next door?" "We're not going next door 'til we've flayed them dead men walking." "We'll count it upstairs." "I don't want them to see you fingering the money." "Dog, look..." "Give it us here...dozy bastard." "Check your guns." "Get yourselves well hid." "Wait till they get right inside the door, then give it 'em." "Give me them shooters, you can use your own." "Yeah." "That's no way to answer the phone." "Is that you, Dean?" "It's Lord fucking Lucan." "Who do you think it is?" "What can I do for you?" "Those guns I sold you, I need them back." "Not likely." "I don't think I'll be seeing them again." "I've got the money to pay for them." "I'm sure you do." "But you don't understand." "I ain't seeing them or the guns again." "We can't get them." "If we can't get them, we can't get them." "You'll have to get them." "We made a deal for everything inside the cabinet." "Inside, outside - I don't give a shit." "Get those guns because if you don't..." "Yeah, Bazza, or what?" "Have you heard of Harry Lonsdale?" "Otherwise known as "Hack You Up With an Hatchet Harry"?" "Well, this is..." "James Bond, need-to-know time." "When you dance with the devil, you wait for the song to stop." "Know what I mean?" "I mean find 'em, torture 'em and kill 'em." "And bring back what belongs to me." "Because if you don't, your family's bang in trouble." "Who was that?" "That was Harry Horrible Hatchet." "Jesus, I've heard of him." "Shit, they were his fucking guns we sold." "We've got to find them." "No fucking about, Nick." "Where can I find those guns?" "Six black cocks and a little white kitten sitting on the side of the road." "We're gonna do a proper decoration job." "I want the grey skies of London illuminated." "I want that house painted red." "All right, there's this brass standing on the corner." "Dwarf walks up to her carrying a suitcase..." "Winston there is gonna come along and see if he recognises any of them." "Watch out for these fellas - they've got a bit of an arsenal and they don't mind using it." "I'm taking down her panties..." "Does everyone know what they got to do?" "Yeah." "What the fuck is going on?" "You got something here for me, have you?" "Chop-chop." "Thank you very much." "He's got the guns." " You get them." " Why me?" "You're supposed to be the hard case..." "You get the guns!" "I drive the car!" "Good boy." " Get the fucking guns." " YOU get the fucking guns!" "You fucking big..." "All right." "Wrap them guns up." "Count the money." "Put your seat belt on." "We've got to get the fucking guns or we're dead!" "..so I made sure I fucked the one that was coughing." "Get out the car, you yuppy fucker!" "He's the one we shot in the neck." "Is that right, Mr Botanical?" "Jesus!" "I don't believe this." "What the fuck has happened here?" "Jesus." "The money." "The gear." "This is fucked." "No money." "No weed." "It's all been replaced by a pile of corpses." "All right." "Don't panic." "Let's think about this." "Fuck that, you can think about it." "I'm panicking and I'm off." "How did you get your hands on these, then?" "The boys had 'em." "I know you like these sort of things - wondered if you wanted 'em." "Yeah, I'll have 'em." " Was it hard getting the money?" " Not especially." "Upset a few characters, though." "Have you counted it?" "Yeah, it's all there, to the pound." " They were gonna pay?" " Looks like it." "But who knows?" "The opportunity was there." "In my experience it's best to take that opportunity - if it's there." "Good work, Chris." "We've got to get those guns." "We don't know who lives there." "I don't care who lives there!" "All's I know is it's preferable to death by Hatchet." "Fair enough." "Let's go." "I don't think it's the right move." "It's either that the old boy's place and we lose a digit daily." " I'm gonna phone him." " As if he'll care." "He'll care." "That was supposed to be his money." "Whether he cares about us is different." "Pass me the phone." "Yeah?" "That you, boy?" "It's Ed, if that's what you mean." "'Pay day, ain't it?" "'" "Yeah..." "I wanted to talk to you about that." "I'll bet you do." "I got half a million nicker here, which means some poor sod doesn't." "You've upset a few people." "But that really isn't my concern, is it?" "What does concern me..." "is the guns you had." "'l want to talk to you about that.'" "So get your arse here now." "And I mean now!" "Bastard!" "You fucking bastard!" "Bastard!" "What the fuck are you doing here?" "What the fuck are you doing here?" "Job well done." "We made a few quid out of that one." "Son...?" "Made a few quid, did you?" "Where's what I want?" "You all right there, mate?" "Very fucking funny." "Where's what I want?" "I've just left it in the office." "We'd better get it, if you want your son to see his birthday." " Now chop-fucking-chop." " All right. fair enough." "Where you going?" "It's a thirty second drive or a five minute walk." "I couldn't have parked outside, I'd have got a ticket." "I suppose that don't matter now, does it?" "Just be careful." "Right."
