You're supposed to give him

the bad news first, man.

'Cause you can't

do anything about it.

Just tell him

about the drugs, man.

He's figuring it's funny.

He's gonna go apeshit over that.

The flat's been trashed,

on the wall.

Yeah, tell him about

Don't mention

Herbie. Honestly.

Give a shout.

Give a shout.

Sonny, mate?

Sonny, it's

Gotta tell you somethin'.

Well, he's banging about

We're coming back.

Banging?

What are you...

Who's banging on

What's all here?

I didn't bang

on the door, man.

Well?

Are you all right, mate?

I'm all right.

What you want?

Sonny, we need to

We'll have a word.

What you want?

Well, go inside, eh?

I didn't bang on the door.

Herbie, I'm gonna

I didn't do it, man.

I didn't bang on your door.

F***ing pills

and everything.

How many pills?

What are they?

Put a few of these in?

Yeah.

Do you know why people

give kids drugs?

So they can

control their minds.

Because they're f***ing

weak-minded themselves.

They're not even

animals, mate.

F*** it.

I'll just put all that in.

Look at that, mate.

F***in' hell.

That's acid.

Yeah.

What you gonna

do with it?

I'm gonna give 'em

a super-duper f***in' dose.

I'm gonna send 'em

to space, man.

Yeah.

The space you ain't

f***ing coming back

though, baby.

No.

Cheeky bastard, though,

wreckin' our flat.

Did you see

what he did to his face?

Come in and

put that on his face.

He don't even nit-know,

do you know what I mean?

You know what I think,

he's maybe f***in'

mental bastard...

If he can get in here

and do that one...

He can do what he wants.

He's trained, man. I told ya.

He's not gonna

buy this story anyway.

He's pissed off.

Oh, here

he comes.

Aye, Sonny.

How's it goin' now, man?

Still a little bit there.

Well, I thought

we had a deal, fellas.

What do you mean,

a deal?

That's not us.

We ain't done that.

He came 'round me flat, man.

He came 'round me flat

and wrecked it.

Put all this writing

on the wall.

Smashed me lamp.

Have you touched my gear?

Have you been

using my gear, mate?

We went out the flat,

left it on the table

for five minutes.

Hav you been usin'...

I'm not asking you that.

I'm askin' if you've

been usin' the gear.

No, I don't get off

your gear, we sell it.

I don't touch it.

Tuff?

I ain't touched it, man.

I ain't touched it.

He's seen the geezer.

Tell 'em, Herbie.

That's what I'm sayin'.

This guy follows us all day.

We go bang off the edge,

we see the elephant...

It's an elephant? Eh?

Elephant?

F***.

Fire away, mate.

Fast as you can.

Go on.

So, at the club,

the other night,

and he said

that and stuff,

he followed me...

Said what?

He called me a c*nt.

Okay.

And I saw him

earlier in the day, mate.

Out the back of your club

when I come and seen you.

He was at my club?

Yeah, he was

at your club at the back.

Same fellow?

Same guy.

But I'm thinking

about this all day, man,

'cause it's weird,

you know what I mean?

So that's when, you know,

I went to Tuff's

to just chill out, man,

you know what I mean?

Sort me head out and stuff.

And that's when

I come downstairs,

and this thing's there,

it's right there

at the glass, mate.

What's this thing?

This elephant thing.

F***in' hell.

I told him not to mention

f***in' elephants.

Now, the problem I have

is my gear's gone,

and you're talkin'

about elephants, okay?

Just nice and easy,

tell me what it is,

and we'll deal.

I'm saying...

Who is the elephant man?

It's... It's...

Anthony's brother, innit?

It's Anthony's brother.

I swear man.

I swear, it's Anthony's

brother Richard.

Hello. Hello.

...and you talked to me,

and you become my friend,

and then you let

these f***ing idiots

maul you and touch you

and feel you?

What's wrong with you?

You know why

your brother left?

Because you are a retard.

That's what he told me.

That's what he told

the neighborhood.

"My brother Anthony

is a f***ing retard,

"so I'm going to go

into the army

and I'm gonna run

a f***ing million miles away. "
