The Big I Am Page #6

---

Okay, thank you very much.

Lovely to see you all.

Now, let's bid for the next one.

Thank you.

Okay, gentlemen,

a nice round of applause for Ivana.

Come on, put your hands together.

Stop playing pocket billiards.

That's right, Ivana.

And she's lovely, from Estonia...

[lndistinct shouting]

[Gasps]

Hell of a woman, that Liza.

- Well, you'd know, wouldn't you?

- Yeah.

You and her make a great team.

She must think I'm a right c*nt.

[Laughs]

Well, if she did, you'd be the last

person to find that out, believe me.

Well, you're the expert, ain't you?

No. I've just been around

for a really long time,

and there's certain things

I know how to sit with.

Okay?

Liza hasn't come around yet,

but she will, in her own due time.

Sounds f***ing great.

Well, it's the price of doing business

in my business, son.

Mr. Substitute Don Barber.

So, you and her... What?

There is no me and her.

There's no me and anyone.

There's only profit and loss.

And believe me when I tell you,

I'm gonna profit.

[Scoffs]

What if I just go

and tell the others?

Well, where is the coin?

'Cause they don't count

in the great equation of life

and f***ing death.

[Coughs, gasps]

[lntro to Alexander Wolfe's

"Breakdown" plays]

So they dragged you under

And it says you ought to lay down

Oh, my goodness gracious.

What do we have here?

Too much, too young.

Look after him, would you?

F***ing hell.

You've got to pace yourself there,

chief.

Tell me

Who do you think you are?

[Coughing]

You think you can see so far

Into your brain

I got just the thing for you.

They're playing

"Follow the Leader"

Don't listen to those lies

They're playing

"Follow the Leader"

They're demons in disguise

[Snoring]

[Monitor beeping]

Here we go.

Hello, ladies.

Take your pick.

You can have 'em both, if you like.

FLO YD:
You're the boss.

Big f***ing boss.

Whatever you say, Mick.

That's fine by me.

Fine by me.

And it sends you

on your way down

F***.

So they dragged you under

And it says

you ought to lay down

Tell me

Who do you think you are?

You think you can see so far

Into your brain

If those slags ain't working out...

Tell me

Who do you think you are?

This ain't me.

What the f*** are you doing

in here?

You think you can see so far

That fat c*nt Kelly.

Into your brain

What are you saying?

You ain't gonna cause problems

out there, are you?

You won't last two seconds

out there.

I'm okay. I'm okay.

F*** that.

No one can help these slags.

They're playing

"Follow the Leader"

Don't listen to those lies

They're playing

"Follow the Leader"

[Car alarm blares]

They're demons in disguise

Don't look into those eyes

[Monitor beeping]

You're a doctor?

No.

Then what the f*** are you doing

touching my sister's hand?

[Scoffs]

You're Old Bill.

I don't have to say a f***ing word

to you.

No, you don't, Michael.

Life might be great for you

right now,

but your sister's paying

for your success.

And her kids.

You have a choice.

[Snoring]

Where do I sign?

Don't look at me.

Hi, Don.

- Give me your phone.

- Sure.

We're going back to my place.

Where is that skinny wee c*nt?

[Cellphone buzzes]

[Sighs]

Okay, Don.

Okay, Don.

F*** knows.

Sleeping it off, probably.

'Cause I'm telling you what,

you missed a big f***ing night

last night.

Floyd -- he was so pissed,

he couldn't get it up.

[Laughs]

Floydy.

Got a light, mate?

Please, mister.

[Door opens,

indistinct shouting]

Stay where you are! Police!

Oh, sh*t!

Well?

A light.

- What?

- Give us a light.

Do you want me

to take care of her?

[Whimpers]

Get the f*** out of here!

F***!

[lndistinct shouting]

MAN:
Nobody move!

[Girl gasps]

It's okay.

I'll get you out. Okay?

[Shouting continues]

- Drop the gun!

- Get down! Get on the ground!

Get down! Get down!

Get down now!

- Ah!

- Move! Move!

[Car beeps]

[Elevator dings]

Don's gonna be back soon.

So what happens now?

I don't know.

Got what you wanted, though.

Don't judge me.

You saw them.

They were promised a fairy tale,

and most of them will be

as good as dead in a year.

I have earned every penny.

So what does that make me?

The man I want.

But I live in the real world, Mickey,

and you have to make

your own happy ending.

What did you expect?

Not this.

[Clatter]

Thanks a lot, kid.

You started a f***ing war

just to get your hands

on Don's dough?

Well, Don was supposed to be dead

before Saturday,

and you kind of made sure

that wasn't gonna happen, didn't you?

So if there is a war,

then you started it.

And it's yours, not mine.

That was an accident.

Maybe we should have another one.

Go on then, c*nt.

What's this?

Love's young dream?

[Chuckles]

She was about to take a bullet

for you.

She must really be in love.

[Laughs]

That's f***ing amazing.

Oh, children, children, children.

So much money.

Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.

What the f*** was that about?

Martell is not after you or me.

It's Barber he wants.

We got to get out of here.

Is there a fire escape?

We need to get out of here.

Liza, think.

Don's gonna be here any --

[Gunshots]

[Off-key chord plays]

[Gunshots]

[Coughs, laughs]

Man...

Shut the f*** up!

[Gunshot]

You are f***ing dead, Barber.

[Gunshot]

MAN:
Move! Get in the van!

Get in the van!

- Come on!

- Get in the back!

[lndistinct shouting]

Move!

Get in the back of the car!

MAN #2:
Leave it!

Leave it! C*nt!

Get in the car!

Michael, call me when you get

this message.

And thanks.

Get in the car!

[Gunshot]

[Gunshot]

[Groans]

God!

Don, please,

I need some medical attention.

Don, I think I'm dying here.

[Groans]

Do it quietly.

Everyone comes to Don's party.

Mickey, Mickey, Mickey.

I give you the opportunity

to make something of yourself.

This is how you repay me?

Liza, darling.

[Whimpers]

You're going back to working

for a living.

I'm gonna put you

in the next worse place to hell.

You're gonna f***ing beg them

to kill you.

You...

What the f*** am I gonna do

with you?

You want me to give you

a second chance?

Is that that f***ing no-mark?

[Gunshot]

Ah! God!

[Chuckles]

Who the f*** do you think you are?

I'm Mickey Skinner.

That's who the f*** I am.

Very funny.

[Gunshot]

[Cellphone rings]

[Ringing stops]

[Baby crying in distance]

[Crying continues]

[lntro to McGlade's "An Exit" plays]

Watch as the walls

come tumbling down

[lndistinct singing]

Sit tight as they

crashed into the ground

[lndistinct singing]

I doubt that I'll make it, too

Seen many but known by few

Now all that they check is you

Walked to a place

with the smilin' hand of fate

[lndistinct singing]

Though things have been

hard as hell of late

[lndistinct singing]

I faced my devils

but still broke through

Ripped up the world,

I thought I knew

Now all I want is shining you

Time to go

It's time to go

Whatever this means

He's happy, it seems

So I'll be a fleeting sound

A light way out on the water
