One night, they're all sitting around

and they're talking about...

"Remember the time

when all the games were shutdown...

and everyone's hearing footsteps

and what a f***ing drag?"

Yeah, yeah, that was horrible.

And Markie starts laughing.

He can't help himself.

You know what?

He tells them it was him

that robbed his own game.

I did it!

And everyone thinks it's funny.

Where was I'?

What the hell, it really

wasn't their money that was stolen...

and everyone loves Markie,

so they give him a pass.

But if it happens again,

if Markie's game gets knocked over...

they're gonna know it was Markie

and Markie's gonna take the fall for it.

All right, well, f*** it. I'm in.

What about Russell?

I don't give a rat's ass.

You can go in there with...

f***ing Tarzan and his f***ing

spotted jockstrap for all I care...

if you can get him to do it.

But this thing's gotta move, all right'?

All right with me. Look,

I gotta do something soon.

If I don't think of something

soon, I'm gonna have...

to go back and knock

on a gate and say, "Let me back in."

I can't think of nothing

it's starting to get cold

Because just a matter of time...

some other fresh bastard's

gonna think of this...

and then it's gonna be gone,

we don't have the money.

We're not the only smart guys

in the world.

F***, this a good car you got.

It's like the lounge room,

mate, but it's a good car.

Yeah, I wish you could

still get a car like this.

Keep this one.

Yeah, that's just

what I need is a nice, hot car.

You're not getting any, are you?

Go f*** yourself. Tomorrow night,

I'm getting some. All right'?

You know, if this thing goes all right,

this is my last night a priest.

F***ing take care of my own hog.

You certainly had a bunch of practice

at taking care of your own hog.

Yeah, that's real f***ing nice talk.

A guy like you,

sticking it in Goat-Ass' satchel.

F***ing really nice talk.

Hey, we're in jail, you know.

Rule number one,

find yourself a lovely, clean older man.

Who the f*** told you

that Goat-Ass was clean'?

Rule number two

if you can't find that lovely,

clean older man...

take the dirty one.

You're f***ing sick.

You know, we shoulda actually

had them get you a goat, you know.

Have 'em bring it into the jail

and you could f*** the goat.

You know,

I had some clout with the keepers.

Oh, those poor dogs.

You sure you're not

f***ing around with those dogs?

No, no, 'cause they're dogs,

they bite, you know.

I mean, I'll give you some advice, mate.

Don't-not with a dog, you know.

They can nip, from what I hear...

and that's very painful,

from what I hear.

You know, you're better off

with women, mate...

if you can get yourself one, that is.
