Avi
[On learning that Franky is making his way to a boxing match - and gambling]

Did he have a case on him?

Yes. He had a case.

Avi

And this schmuck is gambling? You're talking about Franky "I've got a problem with gambling" **** Four Fingers, Doug!

Avi, I'm not telepathic.

Avi

Well you're plenty **** stupid, I'll give you that. Do you have any idea why they call him Franky "Four Fingers", Doug?

No I have no idea.

Avi

Well because he makes stupid bets with dangerous people, and when he doesn't pay up, they give him the chop, Doug! And I'm not talking about his **** fore-skin either!

Avi
[To his aide 'Rosebud']

You gotta toothbrush? 'm goin' to London. [Into phone] You hear that, Doug? 'm comin' to London!

[Quick, split-second shots of Avi's flight from New York to London; instantly]

Avi!

Avi

Shut up and sit down, you big, bald ****. [Doug sheepishly complies] I don't like leaving my own country Doug, and I especially don't like leaving it for anything less than warm, sandy beaches, and cocktails with little straw hats.

We've got sandy beaches...

Avi

Yeah? So who the **** wants to see 'em?

Avi
[After hearing about Bullet-Tooth Tony surviving after being shot six times]

Six times!?

In one sitting.

A bookie's got blagged last night.

Avi

Blagged? Tony, speak English. I thought this country spawned the **** language, and so far nobody seems to speak it.

Avi

How do we wanna get rid of him? [talking about Boris in the carboot]

Do you want to shoot him?

Avi

It's a little noisy, isn't it?

Do you want to stab him?

Avi

That's a little cold-blooded, isn't it?

[Annoyed]

Do you want to kill him or not?

Rosebud
[in the backseat, taking the blade out of his jacket]

I'll cut him. I got a blade.

Yeah, that's the spirit.

You. Want a knife?

Avi

Me? No, not me. I wouldn't know what to do.

It's a knife, for God's sake. What's you used to keep you fork company for all these years? The sharp side, the blunt side. What do you want, a lesson?

[The car crashes into a pole]

Avi
[after coming to, and being told to get out of the car]

What about Rosebud?

You can take him with you, if you like. [Looks back at Rosebud, who drove a sword through his chest during the crash, and is now stone dead] Which bit do you want to take?

[Having blundered into Avi, holding him up at gunpoint]

Give me the case or I'll shoot you.

Avi
[Contemptful and fed-up]

**** you. Shoot me.

I will! I'll shoot you!

[Vinny and Sol fumble with their guns; Tony, hearing the shouting, approaches from another room. Boris enters, brandishing an assault rifle]

Give me case, or I shoot you.

Avi

You know what? **** you too. Go ahead and shoot me, you'd be doin' me a favor, you wretched ****! Go ahead!

[to Vinny and Sol]

You! Drop guns!

[to Boris]

**** you! You drop the gun!

[takes aim]

Okay...

[from another room]

Avi? Pull your socks up!
[Avi, Vinny, Sol and Tyrone stare at one another, then fall to the floor. Tony shoots through the wall and into the room, wounding Boris]

Avi? Where's the case?

Avi
[on the floor face-down]

Put the gun away.

What's Boris doing here? Boris, what are you doing here?

**** you!

[Tony shoots him twice, then goes over to Tyrone]

Where's the case?

[groans]

You piece of crap...

Don't take the piss, Boris.

I'll show you... now...!

[Tony shoots him four more times]

**** You!

[Tony shoots him again]

Almost had it.

For ****'s sake...

[Takes careful aim and shoots Boris one more time; looks down at Tyrone] [Contempt]

**** you, an' all.

[Casually pulls the trigger, only to learn that he has run out of ammunition] [Exasperated]

You lucky bastard!

Avi

Tony.

Avi

Look in the dog.

What you mean, 'Look in the dog'?

Avi

I mean, open him up.

It's not a **** tin of baked beans! What do you mean 'open him up'?!

Avi

You know what I mean.

[Appalled]

That's a bit strong, ain't it. I don't know about this.[hesitated, but gets the dog anyway, ready with a blade]

[speaks in disbelief]

No, you can't do this.

[the squeaky toy in the dog makes the dog squeak when he's barking]

It's **** squeaking!!

Avi

You never heard a dog squeak before? Gimme the goddamn gun!!

Well, because he makes stupid bets with dangerous people, and when he doesn't pay up, they give him the chop, Doug! And I'm not talking about his **** foreskin either! [to his aide "Rosebud"] You got a toothbrush? I'm going to London. [into phone] You hear that, Doug? I'm coming to London!

[Quick, split-second shots of Avi's flight from New York to London, instantly]

Avi!
