Now which one

is it going to be ?

Henry !

- Henry.

[Muffled Screaming]

[Muffled Screaming ]

All right, John ?

do you think

I'd try and stiff you ?

Do you think I'm mad?

It was a bad batch.

There was nothing I could do.

You know,

when I was inside,

I heard this screaming one day.

So I went to have a look,

and I found yke here...

bent over the table with his trousers

round his ankles,

four big, hairy paddies holding

him down, about to bugger him.

Old Henry, he's off playing bingo.

Ain't that right, Henry ?

Please. Please, Jason,

don't do--

don't do anything stupid.

That was the first time

I met you, wasn't it ?

Well, in a little while,

you're gonna be wishing I'd walk

straight past you that day...

- and just let 'em get on with it.

- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Jason.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[Whimpering ]

You've got 48 hours

to get me my money back...

and the profit we lost.

You f***ing worm !

-[Lovell]

What you gonna do about Lisa ?

- [ Sniffs ]

F*** all !

- Hey, Billy Whizz, have you seen her?

- No.

Where'd you take her then ?

You drove her away.

I brought her back here

and I went home.

Leave her. She'll come back

with her tail between her legs,

-likes he always does.

- What about that other business ?

- You sort that out as well ?

- Yeah.

- Where did you dump it ?

- I sorted it out.

That's all you need to know.

- You ought to watch your f***ing mouth.

- Leave him.

- No ! F***ing kid !

- Leave him, leave him. Come on.

Billy, which one

do you want, eh ?

Huh ? You can have

first choice,

as long as it's not

the blond one.

Um, I'll pass, thanks.

Is it all right

if I see you lot later ?

Which one, Billy ?

Where you going ?

I'm going home. I'm tired.

- You're not leaving.

- Look, I've had enough. I want out.

You don't want out on me,

you skinny, little prick !

Now I said,

which one do you want, eh ?

- This one ? Eh ?

- [ Screams ]

do you want this one,

or do you want this one, eh ?

No ? Well, why not

do 'em both, eh ?

Now get in there and don't f***ing

come out till you've done 'em !

You know, I went to that place--

what's it called ?

Lakeside last week.

I spent the whole afternoon

in a tea shop just watching.

Something about the women

in that part of the world that

I find absolutely irresistible.

Thought you were only

interested in Henry.

No, they're fiercely pretty,

yet hard as nails,

and it's a perfect combination.

What I wouldn't give to have

my youth again in Essex.

All I remember of my youth is getting

freezing cold under Southend Pier...

with me knickers around me ankles.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, I'll take you

under that pier again.

You can haveyour knickers

around your ankles again.

You know, I'm gonna

have to go back to him,

don't you ?

You know, I'm just about

to do something... really big.

After that, I'll be able

to pay them of,

and I'll still be

a very rich man.

We could go somewhere

where he'd never find us.

It's just a little investment. Spreading

out the old tentacles, youknow.

Had bit of spare cash

laying about,

and I f***ing hate

waiting for cabs, so why not ?

[ Chuckles ]

- Perry.

- Oh, thanks, darling.

-did you, uh, watch 'em make it ?

- Yeah. Smoked salmon ?

Yeah, great.

You know they gob in these things

in those places.

So, what happened

to your face ?

Oh, I, I, uh--

I had some, um--

- I had some problems the other night.

- Uh-huh.

- So speak to me.

- Well, I just wanted

to talk about the drop,

make sure everything's

going to plan.

Oh, yeah. Everything's

still going to plan, John,

except for one small detail.

You're no longer

part of that plan.

What's the matter?
