Four Lions Page #3

Synopsis: Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce. In a storm of razor-sharp verbal jousting and large-scale set pieces, Four Lions is a comic tour de force; it shows that-while terrorism is about ideology-it can also be about idiots.

Aye, I would. I d kill you like that.

- Flipping heck, man. Would you?

- Yeah, course.

I sort of thought

I were joking a bit there, bro.

Were soldiers, bro.

Whatevers asked, you do it.

You do the right thing.

Right?

- Are you with me?

- Yeah.

Its life, isnt it? Its just life.

What is that? Its nothing.

Its like being stuck

in the queue at Alton Towers.

Do you want to be in the queues

or do you want to be on the rides?

You want to be on the rides, dont you?

You want to be on Nemesis, Oblivion.

Rubber Dinghy Rapids.

- Yeah. You with me?

- Yeah.

- Rubber Dinghy Rapids.

- Yeah, Rubber Dinghy Rapids.

Right?

- OK, I would kill you, brother Omar.

- Would you?

- Yeah, I would.

- What would you do?

- I d smash your head off with a thing.

- Yeah. Know what I d do?

I d grab one of these hooks, Waj.

I d dig it in your belly, rip your guts out.

Spill it all out on the floor,

like Mortal Combat.

I d f***ing... I d take this, right?

- Yeah?

- And I d f***ing run you over with a tractor.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. Soldiers.

Soldiers, brother. Mujahid.

Mujahid.

Yeah, you do want some, rabbit.

You f***ed-up rabbit with no ears.

Im coming. Coming.

Im coming.

Come on, Waj.

F*** off, bro. East is that way.

F***! Waj, come on. Come on!

Go, go, go. Come on.

- Come on, Waj.

- OK, OK.

Hey, brother Emir, Ill take it out.

Too high, too high.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking actually.

What is that, 2,000 feet?

- What?

- Nothing.

Ive never stood up in public and

professed any in-depth knowledge of Islam,

but what I do know is that most British

Muslims dont want to be out abroad,

fighting British foreign policy.

What they want to do is get on

peacefully with their daily lives.

- And we support that.

- Yeah, yeah.

A good Muslim

always keeps his mouth shut.

Yeah? Yeah? Are you all surprised

kids are going off to training camps?

- That is not what I am saying.

- Why are kids going to training camps?

First off, I object

to the term 'training camps '.

- You just used it.

- No, I did not.

Its a western fantasy.

You people think of Muslims

running around the mountains

with guns and bombs.

That d suit you

down to the ground, wouldnt it?

- But they do exist, dont they?

- Im not saying they dont exist.
