it was an approved school.

Are you soft or something?

Is that soft?

Tommy-gun slugs.

See how it feels.

No, it's alright.

I'd been up and down your road

a hundred times trying to catch you.

I've got some jobs planned,

thought I'd cut you in.

Welcome to the underworld.

- What underworld?

- I followed you from the corner.

That's where I hang out.

- You're a bloody idiot!

- That's not very nice, is it, Derek?

I think I'll kill myself.

- Oi! Leave it out, Chris.

- Just chill out.

Here's your milkshake.

Two teas.

One minute.

Bah!

Hold it, buster!

- Not you again?

- What you up to, then?

- I've gotta get some things.

- I'll give you a hand, then.

Thank you, Mr Watts. Come on, Mary.

- Morning.

- Hello, young Derek.

A pound of sausages, please.

Is that all?

Er... lamb chops.

- Four.

- Someone off their food?

There's five of you Bentleys,

ain't there?

Yeah, five. I meant five.

Which one is it?

It's that one.

There we are.

Wrong coupon, Derek.

Give me the book.

- Come on.

- Gotta get this stuff back.

Don't be so windy.

Come in and meet the gang.

Derek Bentley, Vincent Montgomery.

- Hello.

- Terry Stringer.

How do?

Let the man sit down.

- What happened to your eye?

- Oh, you know my old man,

he give me a right

talking to the other night.

Still,... he won't be doing

that for a while.

I was thinking of flogging 'em later.

Oh, that'll make you rich.

Hey, I like these.

You got good taste.

Yeah, or he can't read,... like you.

Hey! Shut your mouth, college boy.

Yeah, you gonna make me, wise guy?!

I'll make you!

Hey!

It's the Velvet Kid!

See the pyramids along the Nile

And watch the sunrise

on a tropic isle

But just remember, darling,

all the while

- You belong to me

- He's got a new car!

I know, I helped him choose it.

- Oh, yeah!

- Yeah.

Is that Stella

from the record shop?

Could be. Must be Niven's new

piece of stuff. That's my brother.

You're talking to the brother

of the Velvet Kid.

- How'd he get her?

- With the car of course, dimbo.

- He's flash with the cash.

- She's easy.

And she's easy.

I could square it with Niv

if you wanted to have a shot at her.

I don't suppose he'd mind

if you're a pal of mine.

Charlie! Charlie!

Swapsies!

Shut up!

Best piece you can get,

perfectly balanced.

- Why'd you wanna swap it then?

- Cos I got three of 'em.

Let's see what you got.

bloody hell!

Bit knackered, innit?

Yep, so would you be

if you'd been shot down.

Bollocks!

Come on, what else

you throwing in, Chris?

- Thought you'd appreciate this lot.

- Nice. Oi! Hands off.

- Done?

- Yeah, done.

Alright. I thought you said

you had some ammo in this?

Who'd have the gear for one of them?
