Tom

There's no money, there's no weed. It's all been replaced by a pile of corpses.

Tom

They're lacking in a criminal credibility, ain't they? I might get laughed at.

Tom

Listen to this one: You open a company called the Arse Tickler's ****s Fan Club. You take out an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, you sell it with, I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", "the latest and greatest in sexual technology", "guaranteed results or your money back", all that bollocks. Now these dils cost twenty-five quid a pop - as a snip for the amount of pleasure they're gonna give the recipients. But they send their cheques to the other company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five quid. You take that twenty-five quid, you stick it in the bank until it clears. Now this is the smart bit - you send back the cheque for twenty-five pound from the other company name, "Arse Tickler's ****s Fan Club", saying we're sorry, we couldn't get the supplies from America because they ran out of stock. Now you see how many people cash that cheque - not a single soul, because who wants their bank manager to know they tickle arse when they're not paying cheques?

Tom

Nah, it's not normal weed. Some ****-up skunk, class A, can't-think-let-a-lone-move shit.

Doesn't sound good to me.

Tom

Well, neither me, but it depends what flicks your switch, and the light is on and burning brightly for the masses. ... Anyway, do you know anyone?

I know a man, yes.... Rory Breaker.

Tom

Not that mad-man with an Afro. I don't want anything to do with him.

You won't have to, just get me a sample.

Tom

Ahh, no can do.

What's that? A place near Katmandu? Meet me halfway, mate.

Tom

Look, it's all completely chicken soup.

It's what?

Tom

It's kosher. As Christmas.

The Jews don't celebrate Christmas, Tom.

Tom

Well, never mind that. We're gonna need some artillery too. Couple of sawn-off shot-guns

This is a bit heavy. This is London, not the Lebanon, who do you think I am?

Tom

Think you're Nick the Greek.

Tom

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.

I'd take a pain in the arse for half a million quid.

Tom

You'd take a pain in the arse for air miles.

Tom, the fatter you get, the sadder you get.

Eddie

Will you two stop flirting for a minute?

Rory Breaker? That psychotic black dwarf with an Afro?

Tom

That would be the same man, yes.

Have a look at these. [hands Tom a ski mask]

Tom

What are we supposed to do with these?

Put them on your head, stupid.

Tom

Christ.

If you think I'm turning up clean-shaven and greet them with a grin, you've got another thing coming. These fellas are your neighbors. I thought it might be a good idea to disguise ourselves.

Tom

Right...er, good thinking, Soap. Well done.

I brought weapons as well.

Tom

What do you mean weapons?

[pulls a bundle from his coat and unrolls it, revealing many large knives]

These.

Tom

Jesus! [grabs the bundle and rerolls it] Let's keep 'em covered up, eh? Couldn't you get anything bigger?

[pulls a machete from his trousers]

] What, like that? What d'you think?

Tom

I think you need help.

[haggling with Tom]

What else does it come with?

Tom

It comes with a gold-plated Rolls Royce, as long as you pay for it.
...

Dunno. Seems expensive.

Tom

Seems? Well, this seems to be a complete waste of my time. That, my friend, is 900 nicker in any store you're lucky enough to find one in. And you're haggling over 200 pound? What school of finance did you come from Nick? "It's a deal, it's a steal, it's the Sale of the **** Century!" In fact, **** it Nick, I think I'll keep it!

Alright alright, keep your Alans on!

[pulls a massive wad of money out of his pocket]

Here's a ton.

Tom, Eddie

Jesus Christ!

Eddie

You could choke a dozen donkeys on that! And you're haggling over one hundred pound? What're you doing when you're not buying stereos Nick? Financing revolutions?

100 pound is still 100 pound.

Tom

Not when the price is 200 pound it ain't! And certainly not when you've got Liberia's deficit in your skyrocket. Tighter than a duck's butt you are. Now come on, lemme feel the fiber of your fabric.

Eddie

Oh, and if Tom or anyone else for that matter feels like givin' them a bit of a kickin', 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, ****-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 them. Shit 'em right up. Makes it look like we're serious. Guns for show, knives for a pro.

Tom

Soap, is there something we should know about you?

I'm not sure what's more worrying. The job or your past.

Tom
[after having just robbed Dog and his crew]

Jesus, that wasn't too bad, was it?

When the bottle in my arse has contracted, I'll let you know.

Eddie

Bacon, see what we've got.

Let's have a butcher's, eh?

[He inspects the loot]

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.

Tom

What?

Tom
[Bacon holds up an unconscious man]

Jesus, Ed, we've 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?

Eddie

I don't know, but I don't think we need him! Knock him out and dump him at the lights!

Knock him out? What'd ya mean, knock him out? Knock him out with what?

Eddie

I don't know! Use your imagination!

Tom
[Bacon punches the Traffic Warden, who moans in pain.]

Don't touch him up! Knock him out!

I'll knock you out in a minute! Look, you want to knock him out? You knock him out.

Eddie

I **** hate traffic wardens.
[After a pause, Tom and Eddie jump into the back of the van with Bacon; all three proceed to batter the Traffic Warden senseless.]

Tom

Listen to this one: You open a company called the Arse Tickler's ****s Fan Club.

You what?

Tom

You take out an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, you sell it with, I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", "the latest and greatest in sexual technology", "guaranteed results or your money back", all that bollocks.

Now you see how many people cash that cheque - not a single soul, because who wants their bank manager to know they tickle arse when they're not paying cheques?

So how long do you have to wait until you see a return?

Tom

Probably no more than four weeks.

A month? So, what **** good is that if we need it in six - no, five days?

Tom

Well, it's still a good idea.

Where'd you get these? A **** museum?

Tom

Nick the Greek.

How much did you part with?

Tom

700 for the pair.

Drachmas, I hope. I'd feel safer with a chicken drumstick. These are gonna do more harm than good.
