Sexy Beast Page #2

Synopsis: Gal, Deedee, Aitch and Jackie, having left behind respective lives of ill-repute, bask in the sun of Spain and in the most essential brand of leisure. A hazy yarn of barbecues, beer and botched hunting expeditions make up their retirements, until a sudden and unforeseen disruption emerges from their past. Enter the childishly violent and hilariously edgy Don Logan. Through a series of side-splitting negotiations and irrevocable acts, retired crook Gal is forced to shake off the rust and accept one last mission, put forth by the menacing Logan, his ex-mentor. A heist of legendary proportion and personal implications, this job should make for one hell of an encore.

I'm sweatin' like a c*nt.

How's your brother?

Malky? He's all right, I suppose.

Dunno, you'd have to ask him.

- You patched things up?

- It's up to him, innit?

- How was the flight, Don?

- Was all right.

So this is a Spanish villa, is it?

Yeah, this is it. The old hacienda.

Bit remote, innit? Cut off.

No, it's perfect, Don.

It's just how we like it.

D'you wanna look round?

Yeah, I will in a minute,

when I have a piss.

Right, girls, you fit?

Where you goin'?

Taking the ladies out to eat.

Leave you two to it.

- Ain't I invited?

- No, Don.

No, no - course you are!

Only I thought you'd want

some time. Talk about things.

No, I'm jokin'. It's all right.

Here y'are, I'll get it.

That's all right, Don.

No need for that.

Aitch! Behave.

I'm payin' for your meal.

Oh, that's, er, very kind of you.

- Very nice of you.

- Shut up.

Yeah, this is all right, innit?

Not bad.

What's that?

- A swimming pool.

- It's a bath, innit?

- We had an accident.

- Accident?

Yeah, this boulder

came rollin' down the hill,

just missed me.

Smashed some tiles. Look.

- You happy here?

- Yeah. Very.

What did Jackie say?

- Just that something was happening.

- Which it is. And?

- You were planning something.

- And you said?

I didn't say much, just listened.

She put a question to you.

- Yeah.

- Which was?

That you thought of me.

To which you said?

She probably told you.

Told me nothing.

- Look, Don...

- Look, Don?

- It's like this.

- Like what?

I'm...

retired.

Are ya?

'Fraid so.

I haven't... not got lots

of money. I got enough.

I'd do anything not to offend you,

but I can't take part.

I'm not really up to it.

- Not up to it?

- No, I'm not.

I see.

- I'd be useless.

- Useless.

- I would be.

- In what way?

In every f***in' way.

Why are you swearin'?

I'm not swearin'.

I'm gonna tell you a little story.

I know a bloke who knows a bloke

who knows a bloke.

Hello?

Now, you know this bloke.

- Do I?

- This is a bloke you know.

Is that Mr Logan?

- Who's this?

- Hello, Mr Logan.

- Hello.

- What you doin'?

- Watching telly.

- What you watchin'?

Nuffin'. Is that Stan?

Course it is, you c*nt.

Stan Higgins.

Wants me to put a team together.

Eight men. Strong.

Ain't afraid of graft.

It's gonna take all night.

Good boys, gotta be good boys.

Reliable. Positive attitude.

That's very important.

Very important.

That's what we're looking for, Don.

Who's behind this, Stan?

Who do you think?

- Who do you think, Gal?

- I dunno. Who?

- Who?

- Teddy.

Teddy?

Teddy Bass.

Mr. Black Magic himself. Teddy Bass.

Months ago,

he gets invited to this party,

massive place on the Bishops Avenue.

Wild party, orgy.

Orgy?

Said it was f***ing incredible.

Arses everywhere. Doin' everything.

Wanking, spanking...

F***ing...

Cocaine, camcorders...

Like ancient Rome.

How are you feeling, Teddy?

Are you all right?

Having fun?

Yeah, it's a gas.

What you staring at?

Who's he f***in' sitting next to?

Who's he f***in' sitting next to?

Teddy, this is Harry,

chairman of Imperial Emblatt.

Only the f***in' chairman

of Imperial Emblatt.

Heard of that?

No.

That's cos they're one of those

sniffy lot, don't need publicity.

The back of your head.

What did you say?

I'm staring at the back of your head.

Well, don't. Stare at the back

of your own f***ing head.

Like Standard Gradings TMD,

remember them?

Yeah, safety deposits, late '70s.

That's it. Only these are bigger.

Much bigger.

Men or women?

Oh...

definitely.

This chairman's

not such a big prick.

He knows who Teddy Bass is.

What he is, what he's up to.

But does he care?

- Does he, f***.

- Thank you for that, Harry.

I've been looking

for somewhere safe for that.

It's been in the family

for donkey's years, generations.

Why? Cos the place is impregnable.

The most elaborate

security system in Europe.

Well, thanks, Teddy.

Thank you for choosing us.

It's a modern fortress.

No, it's perfect for me.

I'm well impressed.

I feel very... safe.

Well, rest assured, Teddy,

we're very safe.

Very comforting to know that, Harry.

Nice doing business with you.

See you around.

Tell you what, Stan. That is

f***ing impressive, that place.

I'll say that, f***ing futuristic.

Yeah?

Doable?

I don't see why not.

See, where there's a will,

and there is a f***ing will...

There's a way.

And there is a f***in' way.

There's always a f***ing way.

It's Saturday but you're needed

in London Friday.

It's a bit sudden, innit?

No, it's very far from sudden.

It's been five months,

I've been in on it for two.

It's not sudden. Preparation,

preparation, preparation.

It's a piece of piss, a monkey

could do it, so I thought of you!

Cheers, Don.

You're at the Grosvenor,

your name's Rowntree.

If they give you a pull,

you're just here to see some friends.

Somebody'll call you,

pick you up. Probably Mike.

What's that mean?

- What?

- That stupid nodding you're doing.

Is this a f***-off, Gal?

No, course not.

- Are you saying no?

- No.

- Is that what you're saying?

- Not exactly.

- What are you saying?

- I'm just saying...

Thanks and all that,

thanks for thinking of me,

but I've got to turn

this opportunity down.

No, you've got to

turn this opportunity yes.

- I'm not match fit.

- You seem all right to me.

- Not really.

- You look fine.

- Do the job.

- What?

- Do the job.

- No, Don.

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes.

- I can't.

- Can.

- I can't.

- Don't do this.

- Do what?

- What am I doin'?!

- This.

This? This what?

- Come on, Don.

- There's a boy lookin' at us.

Go home, son. Go on.

I don't need you today.

Go on, go home.

Go home!

Who was that?

A Spanish kid who helps

around the house. Nice kid.

D'you wanna go into town for

a drink? I'll show you round?

If you like. I'm not fussed.

You're on two per cent,

maybe even three.

Depends on the usual bumflufferies.

It's not about money with us, is it?

It's the charge, the bolt, the buzz.

The sheer f***-offness, right?

## Dance to the music #

# like nobody does #

# The first time I saw you #

# I knew it was love #

# Groover... #

She's all right, Jackie, isn't she?

Yeah, she's great. Great laugh.

Big tits.

Yeah, she's a lovely girl.

# My heart is on fire #

# the night is divine #

# My only desire #

# is making you mine... ##

I've missed my plane,

I'm staying tonight, that all right?

Course.

I f***ed her.

It's none of my business.

I know, I'm just tellin' you.

Three years ago.

Oh, yeah?

- Dirty cow.

- Yeah.

Aitch knows f***-all about it.

What's she doing with him,

lanky hunk of piss, f***ing pillock.

He loves her, Don.

I'm tempted to tell him.

She tried to stick her finger

up my bum.

I almost hit the roof.

What d'you make

of a woman who'd do that?

Listen, don't say nothin',

Gal, but I...

- I quite liked her.

- Did ya?

Mmm.

How is she, all right?

- What's that, Don?

- You heard.

No, I didn't, Don. Sorry.

Yeah? Well, I'm not repeating it.
