when l was staring death in the face

about the gentlest touch of all.

You do know l meant every word?

Yes.

lt's amazing the rubbish

some people spout

when they're trying

to save their lives.

Or trying to get a kiss.

Of course, we can't do this.

What now?

Conflict of interest.

You're the Post Office,

l'm the clacks.

We're rivals.

Which throws up some very interesting

possibilities of a corporate merger,

don't you think?

Maybe.

Well, l'd certainly like

to get my hands on your assets.

Keep your hands as far away

from my assets as humanly possibly.

Ah, Mr Gilt.

l see you are awake.

l don't know what you're

talking about.

My name is Merryforth Truman and...

..l've got papers to prove it.

Some wonderful papers

they are too, Mr Gilt.

But enough of that.

l've brought you here because

l want to talk to you about angels.

(KNOCKlNG)

Come.

Excuse me, my lord. l've got a letter

here for Merryforth Truman.

Strewth.

He was here, but sadly

he didn't believe in angels.

Oh.

Well, that's a bit

of an embuggerance.

We did it, Mr Groat.

Home sweet home.

Stanley,

it's not only the race we won.

The bet, remember.

50-1 . Blimey, we're rich.

Let's have the betting slip, then.

l gave it to you, Mr Groat.

Hey?

Oh, yes. l've got it here somewhere.

You can't have lost it, Mr Groat.

50-1 .

50-1 .

No, of course.

l remember now.

l've put it somewhere safe.

l , erm. ..

. .l hid it under the mattress.

Which mattress?

The one in that tavern.

Which tavern, Mr Groat?

You remember, that.. . (GROANS)

..that nice one in Uberwald.

Oh!

Uberwald. ..

Mr Groat, Mr Groat!

Get in the carriage, Mr Groat!

Uwe Boll

Uwe Boll (German: [ˈuːvə ˈbɔl]; born June 22, 1965) is a German-born Canadian restaurateur and retired filmmaker. He financed his own films through his production companies Boll KG and Event Film Productions. Many of his films were produced on low budgets and Boll himself had backed his projects financially or made use of crowdfunding platforms. Boll's filmmaking career is generally divided into two distinct phases: the first consists of big budget films with a usually renowned cast, most of which gained him a reputation as a "schlock maestro", while receiving highly negative reviews from critics, with Alone in the Dark being considered one of the worst films ever made. However his second phase is marked by films with a smaller budget or were independently made, relatively unknown actors and different approaches to filmmaking; Boll's Rampage film series, Tunnel Rats, Stoic, Amoklauf, Heart of America, Assault on Wall Street and Darfur have been better (or mildly well) received by critics. After losing financing and facing constant criticism, Boll partially retired from filmmaking in 2016 to work in the restaurant industry. He opened his Bauhaus Restaurant in Vancouver, which has earned positive reviews among food critics. more…
