Colin.

Heads, I'd skin him alive,
find her, do the same.
- And if it was tails?
- That's the hard part, Colin.
- No, I couldn't do that.
I mean, how can I do that?
I mean, let him go.
No, I don't think

A married woman, you berk!
- And you a f***ing waiter.
A f***ing waiter!
A f***ing frog waiter!
You cunting spunker.
You sorry f***.
You'll be f***ing sorry.
You thought yesterday
was something.
Today's gonna be
something else.
Yesterday was nothing.
I've been home, had a bath,
had a kip,
something to eat,
watched a bit of telly.
I got a life.
Been down the pub,
had a laugh.
I had a drink.
I had a dance.
And uou?
You stink.
Locked in a f***ing wardrobe.
Chucked in like a puppet,
like an unwanted toy.
You sack of sh*t.
I'm rolling up me sleeves.
Say your f***ing prayers.
- I want to be alone with it.
- Is that a good idea?
- Yeah, all right, Col.
We'll leave you alone
for a bit.
Why not?
We'll have a fag
in the passage.
- You dare get emotional.
You dare get emotional.
Don't you dare.
Leave that out.
You hear me?
You kill him quick,
and you're a c*nt.
Got it?
- Peanut.
- Remember, he had your wife.
Nice and slow, boy.
Nice and slow.
- You thinking, ain't you?
Under that stupid bag,
thinking away.
I can hear it,
hear your brain whirring.
Well, let me have a stab
at what you might be thinking,
beside the obvious,
"Sweet Jesus, please help me. "
My guess is you're thinking,
"Why am I still alive?"
Is that right?
Is it?
Nod your f***ing head
if that's right.
Thank you.
Well, I'll tell you
why you're still alive,
but this is strictlu
between me and you, mind.
See, thing is,
I've got a bit of a dilemma,
which is stupid, I know,
but you see, with you dead,
which is what I want
Don't get me wrong.
I want uou dead.
I think you owe me that.
I do.
'Cause that's what
you've done to me.
You f***ing killed me.
But you see, with you dead,
she, Liz,
will hate me forever.
End of story.
But on the other hand,
if I let uou live,
well, maybe me and Liz,
we can...
Who knows?
Who f***ing knows?
You know, I don't even know
what uou look like.
Well, it's all been
a bit of a blur, you know?
Last night,
I couldn't see anything,
what with the rage and that,
the disappointment.
Let's have a look at you.
You're not a bad-looking boy.
I can see the attraction.
Yeah, young, fit,
well-built,
sexy.
I mean, be it if you don't
mind me saying so,
it's all a bit obvious,
innit?
All a bit of a clich.
I mean, what was she thinking?
Silly cow.
What a stupid woman.
You don't know
I'll bet she's never
farted in front of you, has she?
Has she?
No, I thought not.
I mean, that's not
romantic, is it?
You just want
the magicalness of it all,
the false crap.
Well, I've got news for you,
sonny Jim.
That's not love.
I mean, love's hard work,
hard graft.
Love can be murder.
Love is watching what
she wants to watch on the telly,
taking her the papers
and a cup of tea
and inquiring
to how she might be feeling.
"You all right, Liz?
Want some plumping up
of pillows?"
And she might get irritated
bu that,
but you got to take it
on the chin,
have broad shoulders,
'cause she's the queen,
and you're the bee,
the dad.
And so what
if you cook the dinner,
and you get no thanks for it?
Don't do it
if you expect thanks.
That's not why you do it.
And, yes, you've forgotten
that dripping tap or whatever
for the past five years,
and then one day,
for whatever reason,
f*** knows whu,
you get off your fat arse,
and you find yourself
under the sink
with a spanner in your hand,
and uou're smiling like f***,
because you know
And if she don't notice it,
she don't notice it.
It don't matter.
It's fixed.
It's plumbed.
It's the maintenance
of a marriage,
the nuts and bolts,
the nitty-gritty,
the realitu.
That's life.
That's love.
It ain't easy.
Nobody ever said
it was gonna be easy.
It's f***ing hard work.
But you know,
love can be...
lovely.
One day,
you'll be in the bathroom
having a shave
in front of the mirror.
You got soap on your face,
and you'll feel her approaching,
uou know, entering.
She's left a pair of tights
drying on the radiator.
