Best Laid Plans Page #3

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.

Did he?

- Are you a relative?

- I'm his carer.

Come on then, superman.

Spill the beans. Tell me what went on.

Bullies. Push Isabel.

Isabel.

That's a nice name, innit?

(Danny laughing)

- Look at the big smile!

- Stop it.

(In sing-song) Joey and Izzy, up a tree.

- K-I... K-I...

- Stop it.

Joey and Izzy, up a tree.

K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Joseph.

I'm gonna go meet Deano,

get the tickets for Ireland.

- You wait here.

- Um...

No, it's all right. You'll be fine.

Just stay here. Just wait here.

Because if Curtis sees us

carrying this lot, we're f***ed.

Please just stay here. Just stay here.

(Door closing)

- All yours, love.

- I'm just waiting for someone.

Listen, the other night, in the boozer,

I'm sorry about that.

It's all right. I'm used to it. We all are.

What's your name?

- Lisa.

- Lisa?

Why?

That was me mum's name.

Have you got a number, Lisa?

Yeah.

It's in there, d*ckhead.

(Vehicle honking)

- There you go, kid.

- Thanks, man.

There's only one ticket.

- Yeah.

- Where's Joseph's?

Are you taking the Michael outta me?

You think I'd let that jolly black giant

loose over there?

Hey?

No. No. I never said

that Joseph was part of the plan.

Yeah, and you never said he wasn't.

I don't f***in' believe this.

Oi! Language.

Look, are you in or are you out?

But a bit of bulk always comes in handy...

Are you in

or are you out?

I can't leave him here.

They'll f***in' kill him if I leave him here.

You d*ckhead!

Oi! You wanna watch who you're talking to.

Curtis put you up to this, didn't he?

- He did, didn't he?

- You wanna calm down, Daniel.

Don't f***in' tell me to calm down...

(Groans)

I said calm down, didn't I?

(Door opening)

(Door closing)

We're not going anywhere.

Curtis was waiting for me.

I screamed for help, but no one would come.

Said if you don't do it

he's gonna break me legs.

Look.

Won't let him.

- (Danny) What is this place?

- (Curtis) It's gonna be a hotel.

Cinema. First class bars. A gym.

My place at the top,

so I can keep an eye on the f***ers.

(Danny) What are they doing?

(Curtis) It's none of your business.

Can I get an advance, Curtis?

How do you get an advance on a debt?

I need money,

for me and Joseph.

You can take, Danny.

But at some point

you're gonna have to pay it back.

As long as you remember that.

Ta.

Beat it.

(Drilling machines whirring)

Itll be all right.

Joseph?

Itll be all right. I promise.

(Crowd cheering)

(Shuddering)

Danny! (Groans)

- (Man) Come on!

- Danny!

Keep your hands up! Keep your hands up!

Danny! (Groaning)

Keep your hands up!

Hands up! Keep your f***in' hands up!

F***in' hit him!

Joseph! Joseph, f***in' hit him!
