Sexy Beast Page #5

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.

Can you fix him one?

So, what are you having, Gal?

Um... I'll have a whisky, please.

Cheers.

No, I'm all right.

Where's Don, Gal?

He never left Spain, I know that.

He never got on the plane.

Well, he did, and he got off again.

And there's no record

of him getting another flight.

I can only assume...

he's still in Spain.

I'm not into this any more, Ted.

Spain, eh?

Yeah.

I must drop in sometime.

Pay my respects.

How much did he say

you were on for this?

- He wasn't specific...

- I'm giving you a tenner.

I've only got twenties.

You got change?

You see...

if I cared, Gal...

if I f***ing cared...

if I gave a solitary f***

about Don...

Get out of the f***ing car.

Look, with this pill,

they say you take it and that's it.

Your hair don't grow,

you don't go bald, it stays the same.

You have your hair cut once,

in whatever style you want,

and it stays like that for

the rest of your natural life.

It's revolutionary.

What if you get fed up

with your style, you berk?

Ahh... Well, that's

where the antidote comes in.

- Oh!

- Smart-arse.

The whole process is reversible.

You just take a different pill.

Now, I'm not saying this

is gonna happen next year

but it will happen,

it's definitely coming.

Hairdressers are shitting themselves.

Shut up!

They did a test

with three monkeys, right?

Gave 'em all a Beatles-style haircut.

They've been living with that

cut for the past two years.

And apparently,

they're very happy with it.

I can't listen to this!

You hungry, love?

Shall I fix you a sandwich?

Oh, yeah. That'd be lovely.

Told you you'd do the job.

Yeah, well...

you were right, Don.

Technically speaking,

you were right.

But you're dead.

So shut up.

## When marimba rhythms start to play #

# Dance with me #

# Make me sway #

# Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore #

# Hold me close #

# Sway me more #

# Like a flower bending in the breeze #

# Bend with me #

# Sway with ease #

# When we dance #

# you have a way with me #

# Stay with me, sway with me #

# Other dancers may be on the floor #

# Dear, but my eyes #

# will see only you #

# Only you have the magic technique #

# When we sway I grow weak #

# I can hear the sound of violins #

# Long before #

# It begins #

# Make me thrill #

# as only you know how #

# Sway me smooth #

# Sway me now #
