"Look, if you could just open the door so I could talk without shouting." "I can't help you, Plank." "I think you'll find it's in your interest." "Hold on, OK?" "Look, Willie, it's Plank outside for you." "He says it's in our interest." "Listen, 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 that 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?" "But you and the money are going out the back." "If he knows you're here, he'll be all day." "And 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!" "All right." "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 here?" "Ya, sorry." "Gotta do business like this now." "Can't be too careful these days." "I know." "Shut it!" "You say a fucking word, the right ear goes, another one - and your left!" " What are you doing, Plank?" " What do you think I'm doing?" "Hang on, what are you doing?" "Unlock the gate!" "Oi!" "I say unlock the fucking gate!" "That's it." "Go, go, go!" "Fucking move!" "What the fuck's going on?" "Just hang on, I've got the keys." "The gate's locked!" "I thought they weren't gonna let the fucking gate locked." "What've you done to Fauntleroy?" "I didn't touch him." "He just passed out." "Don't you stand there." "Get the fucking door shut!" "D'you want the world to see this?" "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." "Give me the keys, Plank." "Don't point that at my bollocks!" "Point it in there!" "Planks of wood." "I'm working with fucking planks of wood." "Shit!" "What the fuck is that?" " What the fuck's that?" " IT'S ME BREN GUN!" "Don't you think you could've brought something a little bit more practical?" "Don't none of you slags move." "I'll kill the fucking lot of you!" "Who you gonna kill, Plank?" "There's no one fuckin' there?" "Aaagh!" "They fucking shot me!" "Well, shoot 'em back." "Jesus, Plank!" "Couldn't you get smokeless cartidges?" "I can't see a bloody thing!" "Aaagh!" "Shit, I've been shot." "I don't fucking 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?" " Well, that was the bren gun." "You fire that gun again, you're a dead man." "Understand?" "Dead!" " No ifs, no buts, you're a fucking dead man!" " All right, all right!" "I've got bollock ache with this." "Where's my fucking gun?" "All right." "Now I've got your attention." "Firstly, I'm gonna blow his toes off." "There go his toes." "Now if you want me out of here, in five minutes flat, open the fucking gate 'cause I'm gonna blow his leg off!" "They're gonna fucking 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 right, all fucking right!" "Willie, he doesn't know you're here..., just..." "Sort something out." "And all your friends, there's a good lad." " There's only three of us here." " I don't believe you." " Fuck, I'm gonna blow his leg off." " I mean it." "There's only three of us!" " Plank?" " Yeah, one of 'em's out." "Now open the gate." "Up, up, up, there's a good lad." "John, get them tied up." "Plank, where's the money?" "There, in those shoe-boxes." " Where?" " Out the back." " And the weed?" " Out the back." " Point." " With what?" " Your fucking hands, now!" " I'm tied up." "Well, 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 I'm doing?" "He's fucking 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." "Look at the bags, can you fit it all in?" "There's a lot..." "I can't get Epping Forest in my van." "'Can't'." "I don't hear 'can't'." "Bollocks to 'can't'." "You'll fit it all in if you have to make two trips." "Bollocks!" "You got a ticket already." "Now if you don't move it, we will move it for you." " I'll only be a minute." " You've already been 15." " Look, come and have a look." " At what exactly?" " Well, the van's half full." " So?" "So, all I've got to do is fill it up, put you in it..." "What?" ".. and I'm off." "Do you think you can 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." "It's time to say "Goodnight, nurse"." "Where the fuck did she come from?" "That is it." "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 a cup of tea, Edward." "The entire British Empire was built on cups of tea." "Yeah, and look what happened to that." "And if you think I'm going to war without one, mate, 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." "I can see it's a fuckin' 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 just gonna take care of the cabs." "Keep us posted." "All right, mate, do you do airports?" "Where the hell 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 here." "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, ey?" "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." "Knock him out?" "What d'you mean, knock him out?" "Knock him out with what?" "I don't know!" "Use your imagination." "Don't touch him up." "Knock him out." "I'll knock you out in a minute!" "Look, 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." "Now I can't have that, can I, Baz?" "No, Harry, you can't." "I mean it's a liberty." "And I can't have a liberty taken, can I, Chris?" "No, Harry, you can't." "I mean, it's enough to give me the arsehole." "And I can't have the arsehole, can I, boys?" "No, Harry, you can't." "All right, that's it." "We're done." "We're off." "Here, Ed, are you sure it's a good idea taking this back to yours?" "Why, it's the only place we can take it, and the last place they're gonna look." "Anyway, fuck it." "The battle is over and the war is won." "Now, Tom, you take this to Nick the Bubble and we 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." "And you said three five a key." "And... and you know that's a good price." "That was yesterday I said three and a half." "And 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." "Now look, I've got a race coming up in a minute, so if you'd just be kind enough to..." "Lenny, take that round to Snow White and the three little chemists." "They should have a gander of 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, Jesus!" "Go in slowly, Nathan." "Fuck you, funny man." "You go first." "Just get the fuck in there, will you?" "I want this house searched for bugs, I mean I want it stripped." "Where is the poin in that?" "Even if there was a bug, they'd have taken it with 'em." "It's a bit late for you to start thinking, John." "If it's a possibility, that's good enough for me." "I want you to strip this place." "I want every slag this side of Ceylon pulled in." "And tortured... badly." "I want to know who's responsible for this, otherwise I'm gonna hold you all 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, ey?" "Oh, what, you want a toke on that?" "No." "I don't think I 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 in the fuckin throat if I don't get my ganja back." "The one you shot." "Is he still in there now?" "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 that he can sell it back to me!" "He's got less brains than you, Lenny!"

"If you forget anything, I'll kill you." "In fact, you're gonna have to work very hard to stay alive, Nick." "Now 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, don't we?" "Er, well... yeah, yeah, we do." "Yea, yeah, we do." "In fact, this is a little bit more than looking a bit of a problem, isn't it?" "On the scale of things, you could say it's the Mount fucking Everest of problems!" "And the reason it's such a mon-fucking-struosity of a problem is... you don't have the first idea who did this to us, have you?" "Dog, we've... 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 round the manor, we'd know." " We'd know." " You'd know?" "You'd fucking know?" "You wouldn't know if it was the next door fucking neighbours!" "Now get out there and find them!" "I'm sick of the fucking sight of you!" "Get out of the fucking sight!" "You look shit!"

"The psychotic black dwarf with an afro?" "That'll be the same man, yes." "I've heard of him - he's a fucking lunatic." "Well, he can afford to do the deal at the price we're selling." "It's not worth him giving us any trouble." "Cause he knows we'll be a pain in the arse." "And who needs a pain in the arse?" "I'd take a pain in the arse for half a million quid." "You'd take a pain in the arse for air miles." "Tom, the fatter you get, the sadder you get." "Will you two stop flirting for a minute?" "After we pay Hatchet, this deal puts us up... nearly 200,000 pounds each." "That's 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 when they walk through the door..." "Dog, look..." "Give it us here... dozy bastard." "Check your guns." "Get yourselves well hid." "You wait till they get right inside the door, then you give it to'em." "Give me them shooters, you can use your own." "Yeah." "That's no way to answer the phone." "Is that you, Dean?" "No, it's Lord fucking Lucan." "Who do you think it is?" "What can I do for you?" "You know those guns I sold you, I need them back." "Not likely I'm afraid." "I don't think I'll be seeing them again." "Look, I've got the money to pay for them." "I'm sure you do." "But don't think you understand." "I ain't gonna be seeing them or the guns again." "We can't get them." "If we can't get them, we can't get them." "Well, you'll have to fucking get them." "We made a fucking deal for everything inside the cabinet." "Inside, out-fucking-side - I don't give a shit." " You get those guns because if you don't..." " Oh 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." "Now no fucking about now, 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."

"You fucking big..." "All right." "Wrap them guns up." "Count the money." "Put your seat belt on." "Fucking guns, we've got to get the fucking guns or we're dead!" ".. so I made sure I fucked the one that was coughing." "Out of the car, you yuppy fucker!" "Aaaaaaaagh!" "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." "No, 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." " And 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." "This is dangerous shit there." "We don't even know who lives there." "Listen, I don't care who lives there!" "All's I know is that 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, all right?" "That was supposed to be his money." "Whether he cares about us or not, 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..."

"You fucking 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, now?" "You all right down there, mate?" "Very fucking funny." "Where's what I want?" "I've just left it in the office." "Well, we'd better go to the office and get it, that is if you want your son to see his next birthday." " Now chop-fucking-chop." " All right." "Fair enough." "Where you going?"

"He then orders an aristotle of the most ping-pong tiddly in the nuclear sub and switches back to his footer." ""That's fucking it," says the geezer." ""That's fucking what?" says Rory." "And he gobs out a mouthful of booze, covering Fatty." "He flicks a flaming match into his bird's nest and the geezer's lit up like a leaking gas pipe." "Rory, unfazed, turns back to his game." "His team's won, too." "Four nil." "Oi!" "Is your hair supposed to look like that?" " All right, short stuff." " Never mind short stuff." "Listen, the next time we do a job like this we're gonna want more money, Barry." "Or we're going back to post offices and cars." "Fuck that!" "Where's the others?" "There was no others." "Stop fucking around." "The others - the old ones." "I don't know what you mean." "There were two old guns there." "Where are they now?" "Not in the cabinet, there wasn't." "Oh, there was a couple of old hammer-lock muskets the butler was carrying." " But they were ours." "We sold them." " Well you better un-sell 'em, sharpish!" "We had to sell them." "We needed the money." "I am not fucking interested." "If you don't wanna be counting the fingers you haven't got," "I suggest you get those guns." "Quick!" "Jesus!" "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 to do." "Either way you get the desired effect." "Oh, they look very nice, I agree, but - well, they're lacking in criminal credibility, ain't they?" "I might get laughed at." "How much d'you want for these muskets?" "700 each." "And what's that - a pound for every year they been about?" "I know they're antiques, but I ain't paying antique prices." "They're a bit long, ain't they?" "Sawn-offs are out." "People want a bit more range these days." "Range?" "I don't wanna blow the arse out of this country grounded, 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 about that." "What about this geezer who sells drugs?" "Rory Breaker's standing by." "You stand to make a lot of money, tubby Tommy?" "I understand if this has come as a bit of a shock." "But 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 do have the luxurious advantage of being able to sustain your son's life." "And 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 I, or shall I, let you get away with that." "Your son's got three days to find half a mill." "But 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." " You don't wanna be..." "All right, once he's got himself set, he gets the rest of us in." "Now we'll get nasty with a couple of'em, shit 'em up, ok, or whatever." "Now 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." "And what are we supposed to do with these?" "Put them on your head, stupid." "Christ!" "If you think I'm gonna turn up there clean-shaven, and greet them with a grin on my face, you've got another think coming." "Now these fellas - they're your neighbours." "I thought it might be a good idea to disguise ourselves a little." "Right... er, yeah, good thinking, Soap." "Well done." "I brought weapons as well." "Weapons?" "What do you mean weapons?" "These." "Jesus!" "Let's keep 'em covered up." "Couldn't you get anything a bit 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, don't they?" "I rather like 'em." "Oh, that's top of the list of priorities, is that it?" "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 sounds out the right time, then we, 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 all back here." "As long as we're all out of our hiding places quickly, it's the last thing they're gonna expect." "Oh, and if Tom or anyone else for that matter feels like giving 'em a bit of 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." "And 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?"
