Best Laid Plans Page #2

Synopsis: David Blair directs this powerful British Drama, loosely inspired by John Steinbeck's novel 'Of Mice and Men'. Set in Nottingham, the film revolves around the relationship between the thuggish Danny (Stephen Graham) and Joseph (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), a giant of a man with a mental age of seven. When Danny finds himself in debt to a local crime boss, he feels he is left with no choice but to manipulate Joseph into participating in a series of underground cage fights from which Danny can pay his debts. However, as the fights become harder and Danny and Joesph fall for two beautiful women, Danny starts to question his own motives. Ultimately, this is a story of love and friendship and how far you would go for a friend.

- No. No, not at all.

I just... I don't want him to know.

Do you know what I mean?

All right.

I'll make the arrangements.

You make sure you're ready to go

when I give you the call, all right?

- Will do, boss.

- Good man.

Promise you, I won't let you down.

All right.

Joseph. Do you want something to eat?

(Music playing)

(Exclaims)

Do you want a go?

Yes, please!

(Children screaming excitedly)

(Joseph) Danny!

I'm on, Danny!

- Look, Danny!

- Keep hold!

(Cheering excitedly)

(Laughing)

Good job. Go for that...

Go for that one there.

You boss-eyed bastard.

(Joseph) Got it!

Got it!

Evening, ladies.

- Great rack. Did you see her rack!

- Pardon?

- I said... I said would you like a drink?

- We're fine, thanks.

I never asked how you was feeling, love.

I asked you if you'd like a drink.

- And I said we're fine. Thank you.

- Hey.

(Exclaims)

Suit yourself.

Vodka and tonic, twice.

Rack 'em up, Joseph. Rack 'em up.

(Joseph) Rack 'em up.

Two pints, and two vodka tonics, please.

What's his problem?

He's all right.

He just needs new batteries putting in.

Two vodka tonics.

Yeah, that's right.

Slice of lime?

Go on then.

If you insist.

Vodka for them two over there?

(Danny) The dolly birds, yeah.

Have you got a problem?

I won't. As long as you

keep your knickers on.

Come on. Let's go.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where are you going, girls?

I got you two drinks here.

Drown in them, pricks.

(Danny slurring)

(Danny) This time next week

we'll... we'll be in Ireland.

Fishing the best rivers. Just me and you.

Me and you.

(Panting and muttering indistinctly)

(Joseph) Fishing, Danny!

Let's go.

It's too early.

Why don't you go on your own,

and I'll meet you there in a bit?

- Please.

- Just give me a little bit more sleep, please.

Well, you go, Joseph. You go on your own.

Just give me half an hour.

I'll meet you in half an hour.

Good lad, that's it. That's a good lad.

That's a good boy.

(Talking indistinctly)

Help me!

Pack it in now, can't you see she's crying.

(Laughing)

(Tina) Go on then, get in.

(Humming)

Get in. Go on, get in.

(All continue laughing)

Stop!

Get in! Go on, get in!

Stop!

Go!

(Isabel) Help.

(Tina) You f***ing retards!

(Sobbing)

(Gasping)

(Talking indistinctly)

(Marianne) Isabel?

(Sighing)

Where have you been, love?

Where are your clothes, sweetheart?

What's happened to your shoes?

- (Roger) Who are you?

- (Marianne) What the hell's going on?

Joseph.

(Footsteps approaching)

Sh*t!

Where have you been?

I've been worried sick.

Are you Danny?

What's he done?

Well, from what we can make out,

- it looks like Joe here...

- Joseph.

Joseph.

Saved a young woman

from being pushed into a river.
