LEE:
I'm gonna get you to break

your rule tonight, as well, man.

SOL:

What's that?

LEE:
This bullshit rule

you have about not

having sex with

a woman over forty-five.

There's so many...

But, like, you

reach forty and I think that's...

There's so many beautiful women

on this beach that are like...

That's the limit.

Sixty, sixty-five.

Nah, nah.

Seventy.

Nah. Forty.

Seventy-five...

Forty.

Eighty.

Really?

Eighty-five.

Really?

Death.

That's disgusting,

man. Absolutely disgusting.

Little f***er. Ha! Got ya.

You didn't have to do that.

Yeah, but, it's a

mosquito, Mike, you know.

It bites.

It's a soul.

SOL:

What's that, Mike?

MIKE:

It's a knife.

What d'you need that for?

Spiritual men have enemies.

Yeah, you really showed

that pineapple there, buddy.

I mean, just cos he puts

on a kaftan and shaves his head

doesn't make him

a 'spiritual man'.

Yeah, but he hasn't always been

like that, to be fair, you know.

Yeah, but that proves my

point, you know what I mean.

Just cos he's in f***ing

India doesn't make him better

than us. Phoney.

From the land

where palm trees sway

SOL:

Come on, ladies.

Tonight, my friend, tonight,

I'm gonna reclaim my belt, huh.

Yeah, yeah.

I got me lucky flip

flops on. You got no chance.

SOL:
You know, today's the first

day in months that I know

the date but I

have absolutely no idea

what day it is.

I think it's Thursday.

Yeah, well, it

feels like a Friday.

Every day feels

like a Friday, buddy.

LEE:

Alright, b*tches.

I'm gonna have a quick like,

five minute chat with Marlowe.

To do with business proposals.

Hi, Lee!

[UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC]

Woah!

[HIGH PITCHED RINGING]

[LIGHT AIRY AMBIENCE]

LEE:
Camomile with a

dollop of honey, Vix?

Just how you like it.

Thank you.

Shouldn't you be following

Marlowe around somewhere?

Actually, I was meaning to ask.

You couldn't get me like a

five minute meeting, could you?

Little business proposal

I wanna put his way.

LEE:
And I know youse

two are close or...

You've only been

working here five minutes.

LEE:
Yes, but I'll make you a

cuppa every day if you do.

Okay. I'll see what I can do.

Hey, you fancy reading

what the future holds for me?

It's bleak.

Yeah, but you haven't

even turned a card yet.

That's right.

Alright.

[DRAMATIC AMBIANCE]

Have you actually

got anything to say

or are you just

gonna eye f*** me?

Sorry, um, I've, look I...

I've been working in the

club a while now and I know how

everything works.

I'm hard working, I'm loyal.

I'm a man you can trust.

What's this gotta do with me?

I'd like to start selling gear

in your establishment,

Mr. Marlowe.

So, where to?

You can take us to Camberwell.

That's a bit

out of the way, innit?

Only for one of us.

'Cos you know the

club's losing money, don't ya?

Well, how can I help?

I'm getting a bit

hungry, actually.

Petrol station there. D'you

wanna pull up outside front,

I'll get something.

Thing is, you can't park

by the front, you have to...

Pull up at the front, Lee.

What are your aspirations, Lee?

Why?

Ambition's a dangerous thing.

RAY:
Put the f***ing cash in the bag, now!

F***ing now!

LEE:

F***. Sh*t!

MARLOWE:

Come on.

RAY:

F***ing move!

LEE:

F***.

LEE:
I can't f***ing go to jail,

I can't f***ing go to jail!

MARLOWE:

Park up!

What the f***?!

And home sweet home.

What? What, you live here?

That was our mate

in the petrol station.

You f***ers. Oh, you

f***ing f***ing f***ers, man.

Jesus Christ, I thought

I was gonna have a f***ing

heart attack.

Oh. You did brilliantly.

You consider

yourself one of the boys.

Hey, one more thing.

Yes, boss?

D'you wanna get married?

Insane is not taking an

opportunity that comes your way,

my brother.

Unless you got other

options on the table.

Look, bottom line is this:

She gets to get

out of some hell hole

and you get fifteen grand.

Then what happens

when she gets here?

She gonna work for the

club for 20p an hour?

It's not your problem, man.

At least she's not dodging

bullets on the bus home.

And Marlowe's

a stand up guy, so.

Is he now?

Yeah.

You've known

him all of five minutes.

Right, he's

always done okay by me.

Look, trust me, Solomon.

She'll be fine.

I promise you.

For fifteen grand, alright?

And all you've gotta do is say...

Oh, I'm so sorry.

ADEZE:

It's fine. Take this.

So, why did you

decide to come to England?

Running away.

MINISTER:
Do you, Sol,

take this woman, Adeze,

to be your

lawful wedded wife?

I do.

Now by the power

invested in me,

I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

[SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

You may kiss your bride.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

LEE:
My brother introduced me to Sol.

That's how I know him.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC FADES OUT]

VIX:
Who wears flip

flops to a wedding?

LEE:
A man with lucky

flip flops, that's who.

London cold, man.

It just never ends.

Mmm.

It's just perpetual.

You know what, I'm gonna

save up me pennies

and move somewhere.

Mmm.

Hey, nothing is

stopping you, is there?

No. I mean, my

brother went all round India.

He said Goa is amazing.

These flip flops are his.

That's why they're

lucky flip flops. You know.

So, yeah. I love my

brother, man. He's everything.

How old is he?

He's a twin.

Really?

Yeah.

Wow.

He's got the

smarts, looks, obviously.

He died last year.

I'm so sorry.

No, don't be.

Don't be. He taught

me to live for today.

Anything can happen

to you at any time. You know.

Do you feel that

you're living now?

I don't know.

Hey.

Yeah?

Slow down.

MARLOWE:
How could you

let her get like this?

Look at me!

Fifteen grand.

It's all there.

Now, f*** off.

Come on, man.

So, what's

gonna happen with her?

Say goodbye, love.

Goodbye, love.

Come on, mate.

Eh, Solomon.

Aren't you forgetting something?

[MUSIC FADES]

SOL:

Lee? Lee.

You alright, man?

Can you, can you stand?

You okay?

F***ing wandering

everywhere. Getting in the way.

Who the f***

do they think they are?

No.

Is it dead?

LEE:
No, maybe, maybe

it's just stunned.

- F***, no.

- Like, his eyes are still open.

We need to go.

We need to go right now, man.

You know, you know what

they're like about cows, man.

...give me a

minute, man. I'm in agony here.

Seriously, Lee. Look, I

met this guy once who was on

a bus when it got hit by a

cow. The villagers chased him

and beat the living sh*t out

of him. We need to go, now.

Come on, Mike.

Killer.

It was an accident!

Sol. It was an accident.

This isn't going anywhere.

The wheel's bust. F***!

Look, it's fine.

Look, we'll all get on mine.

We'll get yours in

the morning, let's go. Come on.

We just have to hope the locals

haven't found the cow by then.

It'd be a shame to get lynched,

it might spoil Christmas.

MIKE:

Ohm manhe padme hum.

We... we have to move it.

The bike?

Yeah, and the cow.

That's it, yeah. Just in,

yeah. In, in off the road.

LEE:

Mike? Mike.
