Best Laid Plans Page #4

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.

Now! Hit him now!

F***in' hit him! F***in' hit him!

F***in' hit him, Joseph!

Hit him now!

Joseph, f***in' hit him!

Come on! F***in' hit him!

- Fight!

- (Danny) F***in' hit him!

Hit him!

(Grunts)

(Gasping)

(Sobbing) I want to go home, Danny.

- We'll go...

- I want to go home.

I want to go home, Danny.

Yeah, we'll go home. We're gonna go home.

- We're gonna go home.

- Is it finished?

Don't leave me!

(Shuddering) Danny!

You see this?

This fight has just been

shown in the far east.

Asia. Australia.

Look at the time.

Fifty-five seconds.

It's like premature ejaculation.

Briefly satisfying,

but ultimately it's embarrassing.

What the f*** are you talking about?

I'm talking about value for money.

Fifty-five seconds?

Teach him to play the game.

The only game he knows

is f***in' hide-and-seek.

We're talking pounds per minute here.

So either the fights last longer

or he has to have more fights.

OK? Understand?

Do you understand that?

- Yeah.

- Great.

Joseph, this isn't our stop, right.

But you stay here.

You stay here and go straight home, OK?

Go straight home.

See you later.

(Slurring) I hope you've got

something better lined up for us

when we get there.

Because I've had enough of this sh*t.

I want... 73 virgins.

All lined up for me when I get there.

F*** that, I'm not worth it.

I'll have 37 whores instead.

I want a garden, with a

river running through

so me and Joseph can go fishing

whenever we want.

And I want a well.

With lager.

I want my own coca plants,

so I can grow my own gear.

It'll be pure as snow.

I'm not meek.

I don't want to inherit f*** all.

I just want a happy ending.

Especially for Joseph.

(Shouting) Because you f***ed his life up,

didn't you?

And mine.

Give us a sign, will you?

Give us a f***ing sign!

I'll give you a smack in the mouth

if you don't shut the f*** up.

Sorry, love.

Sorry.

(Toilet flushing)

(Sprays)

(Joseph sprays)

What are you doing?

Nothing.

(Stutters)

(Laughing)

(Exclaiming)

How's Joseph?

- He's all right.

- I saw him Tuesday.

Lucky you.

Went past here in his socks.

(Exclaims excitedly)

(Man) One careful lady owner.

Got a brand new engine in it.

Paint job. Complete refurb.

It's lovely, isn't it?

What are you doing? What's wrong with you?

(Joseph) Please! Please! Please!

(Isabel laughing)

- Put me down, Joseph!

- Please!

Joseph, put me down!

Joseph, behave yourself.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Be careful.

Buy. Buy.

- All right, mate?

- All right, mate.

It's got a brand new engine in it.

Complete refurb. Paint job. The lot.

It's got everything.

There's no price on it.

Yeah, well, that's because

it's priceless, innit?
