I'm thinkin' of startin' up this club.

Oh, yeah?

Wally's gaff.

God, that's really good. That must have

taken you ages to think that up.

Well, it's got a certain ring

of street cred about it.

Oh, let's all go to wally's

gaff and have a lager.

Seven pounds,

Water... 12.50.

Where you gonna get all the

money for this? Get a mortgage.

[Imitating machine guns]

Oi, you wankers!

Wanker!

Go through that door.

Climb to the top of the stairs.

Don't speak to anyone.

Ask for Ashraf.

And don't let her keep you waiting.

Why do I have to go?

I got a broken heel.

And don't get burned.

I hate to wait.

- [Horns honking]

- Get me out of here!

- What about that chick's gear?

Jettison.

Motherfuckers, my clothes!

Hey, you, where's my money?

Help me. Sh*t.

What about my money?

Listen, I'm talking to you...

I tought to smash your face in.

All my f***ing stuff is all wet!

What about my drugs?

Sorry about the mess.

It's these skinheads, see?

We've seen them off, though.

You can't run drugs on the sidewalk, Johnny .

What are you, an idiot?

Sid.

Do you wanna use my gaff?

What's a gaff?

Me house.

Me apartment.

He's a club owner.

Where's the fish and chips?

What fish and chips?

The fish and chips

that you promised to buy us.

Why don't we just go in?

[Children shouting, cheering]

No, see, he lets us in

and then we do the drugs,

and then he goes and gets

the fish and chips.

But I wanna do

some of the drugs.

Yeah, you will.

We'll save you some.

Cheers.

This is where the bouncers

are gonna stand.

[Rock, unamplified]

Wally.

Like, I was at Cbgb's

at this audition, right?

So this guy says,

"can you sing like Debbie Harry?"

It's a bad deal looking like

an established star, let me tell you that.

I mean, I like debbie.

We're really good friends, actually.

- You've done this before,

right? - Oh, yeah, yeah.

Good veins.

It's just, "we don't care."

Ow. Be careful.

Pizza, my favorite food.

So what are you waiting for, a playback?

Oh, I like pizza.
