Architect
[about Brumby]

It's very rude to disappear like that. Where can he possibly be? [Sounds of police cars converging on the car park can be heard coming from below] I’ve got an awful feeling we aren’t going to get our fees for this job.

Con McCarty
[to a naked Jack, who is pointing a gun]

Jack, don't you think you ought to get dressed first.

Con McCarty

Come on Jack, put it away. You know you're not going to use it.

Peter the Dutchman

The gun he means!

Edna

What's that gun doing in your room? Suppose I phone the police, told them there's a bloke in my hotel... who's planning to shoot somebody?

You wouldn't do that.

Edna

How do you know I wouldn't?

'Cause I know you wear purple underwear.

Edna

What's that supposed to mean?

Think about it.

Harry
[playing poker]

Thought you were going soon.

Soon. When you've lost your money. Won't take long.

Harry

Clever sod, aren't you?

Only comparatively.

[on the phone with Anna]

I fancy you. I wish I was touching you - right now - making love to you. I want - to stroke you - and kiss you all over. Where are you?

Anna

I'm in the bedroom. My black underwear.

The sexy, silk ones? Take your bra off.

Anna

Stop it, darling.

Now. Go on. Now. Now, hold them - gently. Slowly. Imagine it's me. When we're in South America - we'll make love in the sun. Roll over. Make love again - and again.

Alright, I want to square things with you, first.

Keith
[laying in bed, bloody and beat up]

Oh, yeah. How?

Keith
[Jack holds a hand full of pounds]

Stuff it! My girlfriend's coming from Liverpool tonight. Nice surprise, isn't it?

I'm sorry. Here, get yourself a course in karate.

Keith
[Jack begins to leave]

Frank said you were a shit and he was bloody well right! You even screwed his wife, didn't you! The poor bastard didn't even know if the kid was his!

I'm off tomorrow, so I don't suppose I'll be seeing you again. [Pulls out some large banknotes, giving some to Doreen] Here. Go and get your hair done.

Doreen Carter

Thanks!

Be good... And don't trust boys.

You bloody whore! Frank was too careful to die like that. Now, who killed him?

Margaret

I don't know nothing!

Listen, the only reason I came back to this crap house - was to find out who did it. And I'm not leaving until I do.

Margaret

I can't help the way I am.

Why'd you see him so regular?

Margaret

Once a week.

I call that regular.

Margaret

He was gentlemanly. I like that.

Once a week, you like a gentleman, do you?

Margaret

Look! I'm me, right? We are what we are, like it or not!

Architect

I’ve got an awful feeling we aren’t going to get our fees for this job.

You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. They're still the same. Pissholes in the snow.

Eric

Still got your sense of humour

Yes, I retained that, Eric.

Eric

So, what're you doing then? On your holidays?

No, I'm visiting relatives.

Eric

Oh, that's nice.

It would be... if they were still living.

[To Brumby]

You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.

[To Eric]

You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow.

[To Margaret]

Listen, the only reason I came back to this crap house is to find out who did it. And I'm not leaving till I do.
