Rudy, please!

I hope he's dead,

and they lock you up

like the animal you f***ing are!

When I say "push", we all push down, OK?

Push!

Push! Push!

Oh Jesus, no!

Alice...

He's dead!

Better get him up the road.

Aye, all right.

We had a report about a boy stuck in a

fridge. Do you know anything about it?

No, don't know anything about it.

Is she all right?

She's all right.

I see you.

Don't think I don't.

Go on, have a last look

before you go to bed with your cocoa

or whatever the f*** it is

you c*nts drink.

I hope your milk's turned.

I hope you drink it and f***ing puke.

Rudy, my face hurts.

Do you want me to take you

up to the hospital?

No.

F*** up and go to sleep.
