DOUG

How much can he lose?

Hands pulls a face like "what kind of a stupid question is

that?" He them starts to shout

HANDS

I'll not forgive you Doug, I am coming

over, get me that car.

The phone is slammed down.

CUT TO:

25 EXT. AIRPLANE --

We see the undercarriage of Concorde taking off.

26 INT. BRICK TOP'S PUB --

Tommy and Turkish walk into a pub and approach the BARMAN.

They reach the bar. . .

TURKISH

We are here to see Brick Top.

The barman looks them up and down a bit. He's not doing

anything.

BARMAN

I am very busy at the moment.

TURKISH •

I am not asking you to break sweat,

. I am asking you to call Brick Top.

BARMAN

Who?

TURKISH

Brick Top.

BARMAN

Never heard of him.

. ... : TURKISH :

Well make a call and see if someone

else has. Say it's Turkish.

The barman looks bothered by the fact he has to move but

wanders off. Turkish looks at the pool table.

TURKISH (CONT'D)

You know what he's done to people on

that pool table?

They both give the table an eyeball.

TOMMY

What, potted more balls than any

other player? What else can you do

to people on a pool table?

TURKISH

Quite a fuckin lot if you nail 'em

to it.

TWO HEAVY LOOKING FELLAS appear out of the woodwork.

HEAVY FELLA

You Turkish?

TURKISH

Yup. -

HEAVY FELLA

Follow me.

The heavy fella opens up the bar and beckons Turkish and

Tommy through. They go through another door and the corridor

turns into a mass of dogs barking, snarling 'and whining in

cages. The mood is sinister..they reach another door, they

open up and we are introduced to a dog fight. A load of

HEAVY GEEZERS are commenting on the performance of the dogs,

one dog is being carried out by a single leg, it's covered

in blood. Another dog is left in the ring, it too is covered

in blood but it's survived.

TURKISH

They can charm the paint off walls

these fellas.

27 INT. BACK OF PUB - DOG FIGHT -- NIGHT

A circle of blunt faces are exchanging money with one another

A few faces turn round to examine Tommy and Turkish, they

frown slightly but carry on about their business once they

see they are accompanied by the muscle.

The heavy walks over to Brick Top. The heavy taps him on

the shoulder and whispers. He acknowledges, and gives his

drink to the heavy. He walks over. There is a cage next to

Brick Top which has a pit bull in, and Brick Top who is

carrying a cane pokes it through the cage doors. The dog

snarls back.

BRICK TOP

Look mean now you hairy fucker won't

ya?

He looks at the appalled faces of Turkish and Tommy.

BRICK TOP (CONT'D)

Shits itself when you put it in the

ring, but poke .it with a stick and

watch his bollocks grow. You like a

dog fight, Turkish?

TURKISH

I like my dog to growl at the post

man.

BRICK TOP

Gorgeous ready for tonight?

TURKISH

We don'c have a Gorgeous anymore.

Brick Top turns round and indicates that he would like the

noise around him to drop. It does marginally.

BRICK TOP

You're going to have to repeat that.

TURKISH

We have lost Gorgeous George.

Brick Top turns round again at the already subdued crowd, he

doesn't raise his voice but the crowd reacts.

BRICK TOP

I said keep the noise down.. . .

A tangible silence between the men reflects Brick Top's

authority.

BRICK TOP (CONT'D)

Well, where did you lose him? He

isn't a set of fuckin car keys is

he? And it's not as though he is

inconfuckinspicuous is it?

TURKISH

I am not backing out.

BRICK TOP

You can bet your bollocks to a barn

dance you're not backing out.
