But I cannot in any other way

I just thought that there was a plan.

- It is too late.

Hold on to that nervous thing.

You said no one car for

Do not know who to hire him.

They think he is in repair.

So you do nothing

worry about it.

Why do we have here

previously thought?

What's going on?

Well, that's not enough for

one month mortgage.

Come on man, you're crazy.

You can also earn some extra

with the smuggling of liquor and cigarette butts.

Problem is that everyone is doing it,

So there is not much help himself.

More than this.

The problem is that I a

bit fast need.

Maybe I have something for you.

If that real talent

of you want to use.

Smell,

which smells of?

Gin.

- Throw in Tonic, a slice of lemon ...

and you notice no difference

if you on a few of them.

Here, take this.

That should be enough for you,

until I've picked some.

Lee takes you home

and gets you in a few days.

Terry thanks, I appreciate it.

- Go ahead.

Buy a pack or something.

What is this thing?

I think it's a Swedish

furniture is.

Fascinating.

Ready to make some money?

Yes.

What have you,

you'd better take off your coat.

It can be somewhat messy.

What? What do we do?

- You will see.

Here we go.

Wait a minute.

What are we doing?

The winner takes the pot.

The loser gets nothing.

The winner? I'm not ...

What do you mean? I'm not ...

Hi Terry.

What is it for one type of work?

Just a little boxing.

Just like at the club.

Okay.

- A little entertainment for the boys.

Does that suit?

- Yeah, fine.

Okay, boy. Good to see.

- Nice to see you. Are you okay?

What's the name of that boy?

"The Kid."

Just an encouragement to the challenger, all right.

Big applause for The Kid.

Should not I change clothes?

- What, no, not necessarily.

And what of our own fighter, Smudge?

Bring our fighter on in, boys.

Come on, get him.

Come on. Get him.

What about boxing gloves?

- You do not need them.

Okay, be ready.

He bit me.

He will be slaughtered.

- Wait.

Dull wanker.

You skinny wretch.

Okay, here he comes.

Come down, come on boy.

It's okay.

It is enough.

Enough Kevin, come on.

Yes, it's okay.

He bit me.

Why he bit me?

You did good.

Skinny wanker?

- Well done, boy.

Voila.

That sets him to thinking.

You have a few minor scratches.

Are you okay?

Yes.

- Well done, boy.

Actually done by The Kid, right?

Here.

Next time I make you pretty

paid, right?

Well done.

Bring him home.

What did you do then?

- Nice.

I told you so?

- Yes, boss.

I thought you were a wimp.

Really, I think you are a wanker.

But it turned out well, boy.

You gave him good at his thunder, right?

I have a headache.

- I have a few pills here.

Wrap it up.

- Thanks.

You definitely wanted to win, huh.

It was not that hungry, right?

Halifax Property

vs. Mr. Lewis, Your Honor

Halifax is working on a seizure.

Mr. Cooper

what do you say in this case.

Mr. Lewis has no payment

done over the last 6 months.

Your Honor, I last month

worked hard, to pay what I could.

Instead of asking you one guess

to risk and accept a check ...

I have two and half months rent today

to me, in cash.

Now I have a job, have the promise

arrears to be paid as soon as I can.

Mr. Lewis, you have 60 days to

your payments up to date market.

If that fails,

Mr. Cooper will be here again.

I want to show you something. Get in the car.

I'll take you anywhere you go.

I thought you were gone, friend.

Here it is.

Come inside

Once a good spot.

It sat here packed, starting nine hours.

But the manager just disappeared.

I will not run itself.

It needed a fresh face,

a new start.

Want to try?

- What do you mean?

It was what you wanted, right?

Your own business.

Yes.

Instead of letting the brewery

I can rent it to you.

What's the catch?

- You buy all of us drink.

I have your bill to make it easy to keep.

And you pay the rent to us.

Then we pay again on the brewery.

- We get no problems.

Do I have a business plan?

There are a number of unpaid bills,

but I like the account in the holes.

What do you think?

I do not do charity

so I want my share.

But what remains, you may keep.

Is that enough for a plan?

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

You are not on the list.

Hi, Donna. Everything okay?

- Kevin. Everything good?

Those two are with me.

- Tell the boss that the Kid is here.

Kevin, sit down.

Come on, girls.

Kevin, I have something for you.

Here. A contract.

- Take a drink for him.

Put a signature.

Yet to him.

He has not signed.

Let's do it.

Kevin Lewis.

The keys to your first bar.

- Happy birthday, man.

Onwijs thanks.

Congratulations, Kevin.

A glass of champagne?

What are you celebrating?

- I just bought my first bar.

How cool. Congratulations.

Thank you.

- Keep an open party?

Yes.

Absolutely.

Kevin, my friend.

Champagne. Right here.

Give it to the girl in the blue dress.

It is the case.

I take it over.

- Kevin told me ...

That is fine. Now, f*** off.

Just go nice and window cleaning.

Ladies, would you mind when I

come on down?

Did you enjoy yourself?

Well done, Kevin.

It was super tonight, man.

Come, bring me home.

- Hurry up.

Are you ready?

- Who is that?

Sorry, my darling.

Is it okay?

Is everything okay?

- I think I'm alone.

Come, take a drink with me.

- OK.

I have some ...

I have not yet used.

Thanks.

It's like New Year's Eve.

There must be another one coming.

What should we do with this?

How is it to a personal assistant

to be?

Okay. It paid the bills.

Nothing to write home about.

How is it to be independent?

The accounts payable

Nothing about ...

no, I hope one day me

the freedom to do what I want.

That sounds good.

What about family?

What do you mean?

- You know, the usual.

Siblings?

Where did you grow up? Such things.

There you will hear nothing.

Of course I do.

Me wants to know everything about you.

What do you do?

There is so much.

I do not know where to begin.

I want to write.

I have fewer books read

then I want to ...

but I would be a good writer.

I want to travel.

I want to go to America.

I have so many ideas, so many

ways to do things better.

I want to be successful.

I do everything to show a success.

Because I can change things.

Come on, boy.

See you later.

You should not rush too much.

Otherwise you cannot enjoy it.

Did you know that Edison invented the light bulb

when he was 24 years.
