[Ken is handed a typewritten message from the hotel receptionist]

Number one, why aren't you in when I **** told you to be in? Number two, why doesn't this hotel have phones with **** voicemail and not I have to leave messages with the **** receptionist? Number three, you better **** be in tomorrow night when I **** call again otherwise there'll be **** hell to pay. I'm **** telling you. - Harry.

[to Eirik, with his eyepatch]

Aye-aye!

Yuri

Take your pick, Mr. Waters.

Harry

An UZI? Ha, I'm not from South Central Los **** Angeles. I didn't come here to shoot 20 black 10-year olds in a **** drive-by - I want a normal gun for a normal person.

Yuri

I knew he wouldn't kill the guy. I could see it in his eyes when I was telling him about the alcoves.

Harry

...about the what?

Yuri

The alcoves - the alcoves in the Koningin Astrid Park. Oh, I also have some dimdims. You use this word, "dimdims"? The bullets that make the head explode?

Harry

"Dumdums", yeah.

Yuri

Would you like some of these dimdims?

Harry

I know I shouldn't...

Harry
[...]

But I will.

Eirik

Mother****er.

Harry

Is he talking to me?

Yuri

No, Eirik's on your side, Mr. Waters. Your young friend blinded him last night.

Harry

Ray did?

Eirik

I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say.

Harry

Well, to be honest, it sounds like it was all your fault.

Eirik

What?!

Harry

I mean basically, if you're robbing a man and you're only carrying blanks, and you allow your gun to be taken off you, and you allow yourself to be shot in the eye with a blank which I assume that the person has to get quite close to you then, yeah, really, it's all your fault for being such a poof, so why don't you stop whining and cheer the **** up.

Yuri
[Eirik, furious, stands up]

Eirik - I really wouldn't respond.

Eirik

I thought you wanted the guy dead?

Harry

I do want the guy dead, I want him **** crucified. But it don't change the fact that he stitched you up like a blind little gay boy, does it?

[Harry is viciously attacking the telephone]

Harry. Harry!

Harry
[stops]

What?

It's an inanimate **** object!

Harry

YOU'RE AN INANIMATE **** OBJECT!

Harry
[Later]

I'm sorry for calling you an inanimate object. I was upset.

Ken

The boy's suicidal Harry. He's a walking dead man. Keeps going on about hell and purgatory -

Harry

When I phoned you yesterday, did I ask you 'Ken, would you do me a favor and become Ray's psychiatrist please?' No. What I think what I asked you was "would you go blow his **** head off for me?" "He's suicidal"? I'm suicidal, you're suicidal, everybody's **** suicidal. We don't all keep going on about it. Has he killed himself yet? So he's not **** suicidal, is he?

Ken

He put a loaded gun to his head this morning, I stopped him.

Harry

He... What? This gets **** worse!

Ken

We were down the park...

Harry

Let me get this right. You were down in the park? What's that got to do with **** anything? Let me get this right. Not only have you refused to kill the boy, you even stopped the boy from killing himself, which would have solved my problem, which would have solved your problem, which sounds like it would have solved the boy's problem.

Ken

It wouldn't have solved his problem.

Harry

Ken, if I had killed a little kid, accidentally or otherwise, I wouldn't have thought twice. I'd killed myself on the **** spot. On the **** spot. I would've stuck the gun in me mouth on the **** spot!

Ken

That's you, Harry. The boy has the capacity to change. The boy has the capacity to do something decent with his life.

Harry

Excuse me, Ken, I have the capacity to change.

Ken

Yeah, you do. You've the capacity to get **** worse!

Harry

Ah yeah, now I'm getting down to it!

Ken

Harry, let's face it. And I'm not being funny, I mean no disrespect, but you're a ****. You're a **** now, you've always been a ****. And, the only thing that's gonna change is that you're gonna become an even bigger ****. Maybe have some more **** kids.

Harry
[furious]

Leave my kids **** out of it! What have they done? You **** retract that bit about my **** **** kids!

Ken

I retract that bit about your **** **** kids.

Harry

Insulting my **** kids?! That's going overboard, mate!

Ken

I retracted it, didn't I?! [quietly] Still leaves you a ****...

Harry

Yeah, I **** got that.

Marie

Why don't you two just put your guns down and go home?

Harry

Don't be stupid; this is the shootout!

Ken
[Makes call]

Harry? It's Ken. Listen to this noise. Do you know what that is? Yeah, I know you know it's a train. Do you know what train? Well, it's a train that Ray just got on, and he's alive and he's well, and he doesn't know where he's going and neither do I. So if you need to do your worst, do your worst. You've got the address of the hotel. I'll be here waiting. Because I've got to quite like Bruges now. It's like a **** fairytale or something. [Ken hangs up]

[Harry viciously slams the telephone handset onto the base in his office] [Appears in doorway]

Harry. Harry!

Harry
[Stops]

What!

It's an inanimate **** object!

Harry

You're an inanimate **** object!

Harry
[To his two daughters and son]

Now, you lot be good for your mummy and Imamoto, okay? 'Cause Daddy's got to go away for a few days.

Where are you going?

Harry

I've got to go to Bruges.

Bruges? Where's that?

Harry

It's in Belgium.

Why would anybody have to go to Belgium?

Harry

'Cause I've got to sort something out.

Is it something to do with the phone?

Harry

It's something to do with Ken. It's a matter of honour.

Well, it ain't gonna be dangerous, is it?

Harry

Well, of course it's gonna be dangerous if it's a matter of **** honour!

You are bringing the fellas with you? Tell me you're bringing the fellas with you. [Harry shakes his head] Harry.

Harry

I'm sorry for calling you an inanimate object. I was upset.
