The Gentlemen quotes

Page 2 of 4

Making a splash with the gentry.

Oh, I like to make a splash whenever possible.

Well, you also seem to understand the significance of a proper attire.

Indeed I do. I believe a sense of ownership is vital in every aspect of life, perhaps never more so than when it comes to wardrobe. For every look there is a season, and for every season a strategy.

[voice over]

Now starts the alpha dance. They're not really talking about clothes, Raymond. Oh, **** no. They're like a pair of old doggies sniffing round one another's intellectual assholes. It's a good old-fashioned ****-off, Raymond.

Ray

I should stab you with that **** rolling pin!

Oh, don't be ****y. I was just hoping we could have a cozy little drink together. So, I've got a meeting on Saturday at your favorite newspaper. As the best private investigator in this smoky little town, good evening, ladies and gentlemen, they are ready to put a hundred and fifty grand in my pocket to give them some filth. Good for me, that, but in this case, it's bad for you.

Ray

You're wrong, Fletcher. That's not how Michael works.

Yeah, I know. I know. I was just having a bit of fun. Every movie needs a bit of action, doesn't it? And it's not like Michael doesn't have a reputation.

Ray

Had a reputation. He's been gentrified.

Ray
[Fletcher puts a cigar in his mouth]

If you're thinking of smoking that in here... don't.

I find that confusing. Do you mean don't smoke or don't think? [clicks lighter and Ray jumps out of his seat] Oh... [Ray motions towards Fletcher] Oh, all right, all right, it's going out!

Feel free to talk.

I gather you're the consigliere of the outfit that my boys were stupid enough to **** around with. On that note, I'd like to extend my apologies on their behalf. My boys, they're naive, they've had hard lives and they're just starting to come good. But, they're my lads, my responsibility, so it's me that should be accountable for their actions. Now, I can return your goods, but I can't return the inconvenience, the time, the **** headache. And so I offer you my loyalty, my word, my time until that debt is settled. I'll make amends, but just leave me lads alone.

First of all, I'm going to need to know how your lads got that information about where our farm was sited, cause that's not common knowledge. Once we've overcome that little challenge, then we can talk.

Who are you talking about know?

I talk Raymondo of Dry Eye. Oh Dry Eye, what is he? Chinese, Japanese, Pekingese, get on your **** knees. Dirty dragon filth. 'Yellow is the colour, gambling is the game'

Look, you'll have to do this elegantly, love. If word spreads that you're getting out, that could read as weakness. And if you smell smoke, it's because there's a fire, and that could get expensive. So you're going to have to stamp that out without any gentrification. But not you, love. Don't you do anything messy. That's why you've got people, remember? [grabs Mickey's crotch gently]

I **** love you, babe.

Of course you do.

Any chance?

No, you can wait. I've got a red-hot Russki with her finger on the trigger. I got to deal with it.

[makes call]

Hello, my love. It's date night tonight. Nine o'clock, you and I, River Cafe. Who's there? [hitman appears behind Mickey] Ros, who's there? [hitman is shot by Ray]

[narrating]

I you wish to be the king of the jungle, it's not enough to act like a king. you must be the king. There can be no doubt. Because doubt causes chaos and one's own demise.

[to Dry Eye]

You've been in this paddling pool for two minutes. I've been swimming in the ocean with the sharks for 20 years. I'll tell you how this plays out. You will drown... [referring to bodyguards] ...and then my Mossad crabs will eat you.

[to Lord George]

You didn't think I'd find out? Having me followed for months? Yeah. You crossed the line, and that comes with a price. You raided one of my locations. You know the rules, George. What the **** were you thinking? You raided one of my locations. What the **** were you thinking? What the **** were you thinking, George? Should you try and undermine me, or should you attempt to threaten my position again, I will be forced to accept your call to arms. Do you understand? Good. Now, I can see you're feeling somewhat under the weather. That's because I spiked your tea with a nasty little parasitic genus called shigella. Left unattended, you will shit yourself to death before the sun doth set. [referring to drink dissolving tablets] I suggest taking two of these fizzy biscuits. You'll be fine in an hour or two, long enough to consider your past indiscretions. And, George, if I can get to you in your own kitchen... I can get to you anywhere.
