In Bruges quotes

Page 2 of 2
[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?

I've got to go to Bruges.

Bruges? Where's that?

It's in Belgium.

Why would anybody have to go to Belgium?

'Cause I've got to sort something out.

Is it something to do with the phone?

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

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

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.

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

Ken

We are doing what I want to do, got it?

Ray

Of course, which I presume will involve culture.

Ken

Oh, we shall strike a balance between culture and fun.

Ray

Somehow I believe, Ken, that the balance shall tip in the favour of culture, like a big fat **** **** **** black girl on a see-saw opposite... a dwarf.

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!

[Stops]

What!

It's an inanimate **** object!

You're an inanimate **** object!

Ken
[Walks up behind Ray sitting on a park bench who holds up gun to head]

Ray, don't!

Ray

****in' hell! Where the **** did you come from?

Ken

I've behind a thing. What the **** you doing, Ray?

Ray

What the **** are you doing?

Ken

Nothin'.

Ray
[Ken sticks pistol behind his back]

Oh, my God... you were gonna kill me.

Ken

No, I wa - You were gonna kill yourself!

Ray

Well... I'm allowed.

Ken

No, you're not!

Ray

What? I'm not allowed, and you are? How's that fair?

Ray

Mine's a bloody girl's gun.

Ken

I'm keeping it.

Ray

Pardon me? Gimme me gun back.

Ken

You're not getting it back. You're a suicide case.

Ray

And you were trying to shoot me in the **** head.

Ken

You're not getting that gun back.

Ray

Oh, great day this has turned out to be. I'm suicidal, me mate tries to kill me, me gun gets nicked and we're still in **** Bruges.

Ken

Listen, I'm gonna give you some money and put you on a train somewhere.

Ray

Back to England?

Ken

You can't go back to England, Ray. You'd be a dead man!

Ray
[Sobs]

Ken, I wanna be a dead man. Have you been missing somethin'?

Ken

You don't wanna a dead man, Ray.

Ray

I killed a little boy! [Sobs]

Ken

Then save the next little boy. Just go away somewhere, get out of this business and try to do something good. You're not gonna help anybody dead. You're not gonna bring that boy back, but you might save the next one.

Ray

What am I gonna be, a doctor? You need exams.

Ray

Do anything, Ray. Do anything!

Ray

The rest of the acid and the ecstasy. Can I have me gun back, please? What am I gonna do, Ken? What am I gonna do?

Ken

Just keep moving. Keep on moving. Try not to think about it. Learn a new language, maybe?

Ray

Sure, I can hardly do English. That's one thing I like about Europe, though. You don't have to learn any of their languages.

Ken

Just forget about home for a while. See how the land lies in six years, seven years. Seven years is not that long.

Ray

It's longer than that boy got. My first **** job. Great hitman I turned out to be.

Ken

Some people just aren't cut out for it, Ray.

Ray

Are you? When are you going back to England?

Ken

I'll head back in a couple of hours or something.

Ray

Harry's not gonna be mad at you, is he? For letting me go?

Ken

I'll sort out Harry.

Ray

Just tell him I'll have probably killed myself in a fortnight, anyway.

Ken

You won't, will you, Ray?

Ray

What a wanker!

Ken

He said this whole trip... this whole being in Bruges thing, was just to give you one last, joyful memory before you died.

Ray

In Bruges? [Laughs] The Bahamas, maybe? Why **** Bruges?

Ken

I suppose it's cheaper.

Yuri

There are a lot of alcoves in the Koningin Astridpark. You use this word, alcoves?

Ken

Alcoves? Yes. Sometimes.

Yuri

There are not many people around in these alcoves in Christmas time. If I were to murder a man, I would murder him here. (beat) Are you sure this is the right word, alcoves?

Ken

Alcoves, yes! It's kind of like, nooks and crannies.

Yuri

Nooks and crannies, yes! Perhaps this would be more accurate. Nooks and crannies rather than alcoves. Yeah! You are going to do it, aren't you? Mr. Waters would be very disappointed.

Ken

Of course I'm going to **** do it. It's what I do.

Ray

Exactly at what point was it that all skinheads suddenly became poofs? It used to be, you were a skinhead, you just went round beating up Pakistani twelve-year olds. Now it seems a prerequisite to be a **** bumboy!

Ray

This is my vote of what we should do. We give it another day, two days max, then we check the papers again and if there's still nothing in 'em, we phone him and say, "Harry, thank you for the trip to Bruges, it's been very nice, all the old buildings and that, but we're coming back to London now," and hide out in a proper country where it isn't all just **** chocolates.

[After mistaking shooting Jimmy the midget for a prepubescent boy, to Ray]

You've got to stick to your principles. [Shoots himself in head]

[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.

Ray
[Voiceover]

After I killed them, I dropped the gun in the Thames, washed the residue off my hands in the bathroom of a Burger King, and walked home to await instructions. Shortly thereafter, the instructions came through. "Get the **** out of London, yous dumb ****s. Get to Bruges." I didn't even know where Bruges **** was. [Pause] It's in Belgium.

Ray
[Voiceover]

There's a Christmas tree somewhere in London with a bunch of presents underneath it that'll never be opened. And I thought, if I survive all this, I'll go to that house, apologize to the mother there, and accept whatever punishment she chose for me. Prison... death... didn't matter. Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn't be in ****in' Bruges. But then, like a flash, it came to me. And I realized, **** man, maybe that's what hell is: the entire rest of eternity spent in ****in' Bruges. And I really, really hoped I wouldn't die. I really, really hoped I wouldn't die.
