Four Lions Page #7
A head fell out of the tree
and nearly hit my dog.
The man has not been identified,
but it seems that he may have died
while trying to cause an explosion.
- Yo, Matt... Is Matt here?
- Hes in the back.
- Terry, step outside, bro.
- Say that again.
I need you to go outside.
Get a doughnut.
- Ive got one.
- Get another one.
- Matt?
- Oh, thanks!
- Omar?
- Yeah, mate.
- Can you can help me with this?
- I got to ask you something first.
I booked a clown and they gave me this.
Its the wrong way up.
I cant run in a wrong-way-up clown!
They said, 'You ordered it. '
- Why would I order a wrong-way-up clown?
- Its fine.
- I can sort you out.
- I didnt even know what one was.
I can sort you out with another costume
so you can do the marathon.
I said, 'Youre gonna cause
a pile -up at the marathon with me
'flat to my arse in a costume
I cant even bloody believe exists. '
Ive got you a rabbit costume at home.
You can run the marathon in that.
- Can I run in a rabbit?
- Course you can.
Its amazing. Its a rabbit, right?
Panic over. Done?
- Yes, Im sorry.
- Ive got to ask you something.
Have you?
Have you seen the news?
- Yeah, the head.
- What do you know about that?
Well, theyre just saying its jihadi.
Theyve got him.
Filmed him blowing up a crow.
Its not jihadi, though, is it, Omar,
blowing up a crow?
Omar?
No, its a cultural thing. We bazooka-ed
an ostrich at that wedding I was at.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I... Ive got to go, Matt.
Sh*t!
God help us.
- Thats the police, man.
- All right. Arm yourselves.
All right?
- Oi.
- Get out of my way, Barry.
Oi! F*** off out the back door!
Youre not part of this now.
Lads, this is an emergency.
The head that you buried 5 feet
underneath your shed
fell out of a tree onto a dog.
Good. Dogs contradict Islam.
Dibble is onto us, lads.
- Dibble is on to us.
- I told you, it was a knee.
That was a head.
It was obviously a head.
It had a hinge!
Right. So, Ive just seen Matt.
Matt is running
Hes doing it in costume.
You know they run in costume?
Well, so can we.
We can disguise the gear in there
and its perfect.
Weve got live TV,
prime targets all along the road.
Weve got a target, Omar.
Its the mosque.
When you meet God,
do you want to tell him,
'I struck a blow for the brothers '?
- Or 'I blew a load of them up '?
- Blew a load of em up. Hell love that.
Come on, lads. Waj?
Im not on your side any more, brother Omar.
- You ripped me up, bro.
- Mashallah.
Waj, bro...
Im really sorry.
My head was in a mess cos of Faisal.
I shouldve stayed.
Why didnt you, then?
Cos I made a mistake.
But you didn't. You listened to your heart
and you did the right thing.
No, ignore him, Waj. Hes being nice.
You cannot win an argument
just by being nice.
Not just by being nice, Baz.
You cannot win an argument
just by being right.
- No?
- No. No way.
- I think maybe you can, Barry?
- Who asked you, f*** -brain?
Barrys not a good emir, brother Omar.
He made me do bad stuff in the woods.
Like what?
He said, if I was a proper mujahid,
I d wiz in my own mouth.
You made him wee in his own gob?
What is wrong with you, bro?
Its submission.
Its the rules of submission.
It felt really bad, brother.
Its not too tricky
once you get the aim right,
but it just feels like really proper wrong.
All wee splashing off your teeth.
Bro, I swear, bro,
I may ask you to blow yourself up
but I will never ask you
to piss in your own mouth.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, bro. Promise.
- No more widdle in my gob.
- Promise, bro.
Rubber Dinghy Rapids.
Rubber Dinghy Rapids, brother.
Rubber Dinghy Rapids.
See this, brother Hass?
Its gays at work.
Its not Muslims, its gays.
OK, brother Hass,

- Either way, were gonna blow, right?
- Yeah, to pieces, brother.
Yeah, but... we die smiling, bro.

Wicked. Yeah, man.

We trying to ascertain the whereabouts
of your brother-in-law.
Why, whats up?

Right, nurse, still on shift? Sorry.
So, Ive got the stats back
from cubicle seven.
They need some more blood supplies

The knee strings come off.

- Yeah?
You all right, lads.
- No, no.
- Carry on.
OK.
Right, so your brother-in-law,

Er, like I said, about two months ago.
#Dancing in the moonlight
#Everybody's feeling warm and bright
#Such a fine and natural sight
#Everybody's dancing in the moonlight...
Come on lads, were late.

What?
Blowing up kuffar and that?
- Totally legit, yeah?
- Yeah.
Good. Wicked.
I was just... just checking and that.
Waj, dont listen to your brain, bro.
OK? The shaitan,
he gets in there with his wasa-wasa.
What youve got to do, youve got to
listen to your heart. Remember?
- My heart. Yeah, brother Omar.
- So, what does your heart say?
It says, er...
'Its wrong, Waj, dont do it. '
And what does your brain say?
'Were here...
'... together, strapped up,
'and it would be, like,
well pathetic to cop out now. '
Right, um...
- So he should listen to his brain.
- No, hes got to listen to his heart, Barry.
Anyway, this is Wajs brain.
Since when do we listen to Wajs brain?
- Sorry, bro.
- No, I agree. Im thick as fudge.
His brain says do it,
so his brains got to be right!
That cant be his brain, right?
Thats his heart, Barry.
- Feels like my brain, brother.
- OK, this is whats happened.
Whats happened is,
Hes swapped round
your brain and your heart.
So, dont listen
to what you think is your heart,
cos thats actually your brain -
in disguise as your heart.
Right? And what you thought
was your brain,
that s... thats your heart.
Thats actually your heart.
My brain is my heart.
You got it, our kid. So just...
Whats up there?
Heart.
OK? Yeah? Follow your heart.
Nice one, brother.
- Right?
- Nice one. Alhamdulillah.
- Hey, hey!
- What?
Oh, behn choad!
Were doing a fun run for a kids charity.
Stretches, stretches, stretches.
- Were running for charity.
- What kind of charity?
- For kids.
- What kind of kids?
Policemens kids.
You all right, officer?
