Did anyone mention Croupier? Excellent. Sexy Beast? I love this movie. Ben Kingsley is at his career best as Don in this dark, dark, British movie. The very last quote is my favorite: Gal: This is madness, I've had enough of this "Crime and Punishment" bollocks. I'm happy here. Don: I won't let you be happy, why should I? Gal: I'd be useless. Don: Useless? Gal: I would be. Don: In what way? Gal: In every fucking way. Don: Why are you swearing? I'm not swearing. Don: I love you, Gal. You're lovable. Big lovable bloke. Don: I fucked Jackie. Dirty cow. During what we were doing, she tried to stick her finger up my bum. I nearly hit the roof, you can imagine. I mean, what have you got to think of a woman who'd want to do that? Don: Yes, yes, yes, yes! Gal: I am going to have to turn this opportunity down. Don: No, you are going to have to turn this opportunity yes! Don: You're gonna have to turn this opportunity yes! Don: Shut up, cunt. You louse. You got some fuckin' neck ain't you. Retired? Fuck off, you're revolting. Look at your suntan, it's leather, it's like leather man, your skin. We could make a fucking suitcase out of you. Like a crocodile, fat crocodile, fat bastard. You look like fucking Idi Amin, you know what I mean? Stay here? You should be ashamed of yourself. Who do you think you are? King of the castle? Cock of the walk? [He gut-punches Gal] Don: What you think this is the wheel of fortune? You think you can make your dough and fuck off? Leave the table? Thanks Don, see you Don, off to sunny Spain now Don, fuck off Don. Lying in your pool like a fat blob laughing at me, you think I'm gonna have that? You really think I'm gonna have that, ya ponce. All right, I'll make it easy for you. God knows you're fucking trying. Are you gonna do the job? It's not a difficult question, are you gonna do the job, yes or no? Gal: No! Don: Yes! Gal: No! Don: Yes! Gal: No! Don: Fat cunt! Gal: No, No, No! Don: Yes, Yes, Yes! Don: Talk to me, Gal. I'm here for you. I'm a good listener. Gal: What can I say, Don? I've said it all. I'm retired. Don: Shut up. Don: I gotta change my shirt, it's sticking to me. I'm sweating like a cunt. Teddy Bass: Where there's a will - and there is a fucking will - there's a way - and there is a fucking way Don: You got very nice eyes, DeeDee. Never noticed them before. They real? Don: But quite frankly your attitude appalls me. It's not what you're saying. It's all this stuff you're not saying. Insinnuendos. [Gal is sunbathing by poolside.] Gal: Oh, yeah. Bloody hell. I'm sweating in here. Roasting. Boiling. Baking. Sweltering. It's like a sauna. Furnace. You can fry an egg on my stomach. Ohh, who wouldn't lap this up? It's ridiculous. Tremendous. Fantastic. Fan-dabby-dozy-tastic. Gal: People say, "Don't you miss it, Gal?" I say, "What, England? Nah. Fucking place. It's a dump. Don't make me laugh. Grey, grimy, sooty. What a shit hole. What a toilet. Every cunt with a long face shuffling about, moaning, all worried. No thanks, not for me." They say, "What's it like, then, Spain?" And I'll say, "It's hot. Hot. Oh, it's fucking hot. Too hot? Not for me, I love it." Don: You're the problem! You're the fucking problem you fucking Dr White honkin' jam-rag fucking spunk-bubble! I'm telling you Aitch you keep looking at me I'll put you in the fucking ground, promise you! Teddy Bass: [raising his glass] Gentlemen! You're all cunts. Don: Not this time, Gal. Not this time. Not this fucking time. No. No no no no no no no no no! No! No no no no no no no no no no no no no! No! Not this fucking time! No fucking way! No fucking way, no fucking way, no fucking way! You've made me look a right cunt!
