Let go, made redundant.
I'm like you now, Larry, a man of leisure, huh?
It's gas, isn't it? How come?
Ten of us got letters.
Chap from the office says they'll be getting their cakes from england.
The only way they can compete. The prick.
What bastards, what?
Well, we can keep each other company now.
Oh, yeah. Fuckin' sure. [ Chuckles ]
Me father, God rest him, got me in there. That's right.
Never forget comin' home with me first wage packet.
Ran all the way with me hand in me pocket to stop me money from fallin' out.
And a bag of fruit slices.
I was more excited about them than I was about the money.
I knew me sisters would go mad when they saw them.
Marie's young one has epilepsy, did I tell you?
N-no. Is that right?
[ Sobbing ]
It'll be all right. Come on. There's people looking at you.
Well, what am I going to do, Larry?
[ Laughing ]
- You were a poxy Baker anyway. - Now, now, now. There's no bleedin' need for that.
[ Belching ] Come here. Come here.
This lump sum, how much will you be getting?
Don't tell him. Don't know. A few thousand.
- I-I don't know. - We got bleedin' nothing.
[ Chuckling ] He'll crack up without something to do.
Will you shut up, the fuck? There's loads of things for him to do.
- Like what? - Do up his house.
His house is already done up. It's like fuckin' Graceland.
His garden then. There's loads of things for him to do.
Shut up, the lot of youse. A toast. Yeah, a toast.
To unemployment. Unemployment. Oh, Jesus.

And the day after tomorrow.
I hate swimming.
Come on.

I don't want shots. Shut up.

Any hard ones yet? Mind you, the prizes are utter shite.
I never heard of him. You did. Axl.

Oh, geez. No wonder the young ones scream when they see him.
Look at the state of him. [ Chuckles ] He's only jealous.
So what about you? Look at the state of you.
Don't forget who paid for that dinner in front of you, son, all right?
I know who paid for it. The state.

In case we ring, and remember, we double that...
If you answer the phone the right way.
[ Man ] Don't say "hello."
Say, "dublin's better music mix, 98 f.M.,"
and we'll give you two grand...
it's a lot better than nothing, love. After 25 years?
We'll find plenty to do with it anyway. We'll have a nice Christmas.
The last one. Oh, stop it.
We could get two chickens. They taste just as nice.
No way. It's a fuckin' Turkey or nothing.
Lookit. We'll write everything down and see what we can get away with.
Ah, what's the point? Oh, Larry.
[ Sighs ] All right, go on then.
Right.
Presents first.
Nothing for you and me.
Okay? Yeah.
- Diane? - Look, a couple hundred quid from a money lender. I know...
no, Larry.
Diane doesn't mind.
She doesn't need anything.
[ Cooing ] What about Kevin?
Jesus, I fuckin' hate it.
Yeah.
Greenhouse effect, me bollocks.
It was lovely earlier though.
You wouldn't know what to wear, so you wouldn't.
Wish I had a decent fuckin' coat.
Still asleep.
Just as well.
She makes enough noise, doesn't she, bimbo?
That's what they're supposed to do at her age.
She's lovely. Isn't she, but?
Wish I could sleep like that.
Yes. Oh, fabulous.
Nice one, what?
[ Chattering continues ]
[ Bimbo ] In you go.
It's a grand smell comin' from the kitchen, what?
[ No audible dialogue ]

Oh, thank fuck for that.
[ Bimbo ] Oh, hey, weslie! [ Man ] Happy Christmas.

Ah, there's the man. [ Larry ] How are youse?
Happy Christmas. Happy Christmas.
Get that fuckin' pinny off you, will you?
How are you, vera? Grand, Larry. Happy Christmas, now.
Uh, the girls are in the kitchen. Good for them.
How are you, missus?
Hey, she's lookin' better than she did last year. Vera.
Bimbo, there's a funny whiff off your mommy-in-law.
Stop! I'm serious.
Go over. Bimbo, the smell is fuckin' atrocious.
Oh, my God.
Is she after doing something to herself? Well, it could just be a fart.
But I'd check it out.
I can smell something meself.
Bimbo, this could ruin your Christmas dinner.
[ Vera ] He did this to his brother last night, the exact same thing.
I can't smell anything. Oh, you must have a cold, because I'll tell you,
it's gettin' fuckin' worse.
It isn't, is it?
God, this is desperate.
How are you, vera? How are you, weslie? Happy Christmas.
Never mind Christmas. Your mother...
she has a name, you know. That's not all she has, chicken.
[ Laughing ]
Fuck. Sorry.
[ Laughing ]
[ Larry ] Has to be here. I seen it landing.
Look, say to yourself, "ah, fuck it. I'm giving up." And start walking away.
Then you'll find it.
Any luck? No.
It usually works.
I have a spare one with me. Come on.
[ Larry ] Come on, come on. Be 20, be 20, be 20.
Yes! 20 quid! Yea!
Twenty quid, 20 quid, 20 quid. Lovely. Thank you very much.
Come on, little love. [ Imitates motor revving ]
Yes. Fire away. Yee-hoo!
Come on, we're drinking. Ah, no. It's your money.
Sure. You were standin' beside me. Hey, he'll pay.
[ Chuckles ] And it's dawn run, comin' in on the stand-side.
Sorry. Beep, beep. [ Imitates motor ]
Queuin' in this weather for a bag of food poisoning. Yeah.
You have to hand it to the vietnamese, but. Come on, this will be nice.
[ Imitating motor ]
Yee-hoo!
- I gave her a pack of the scampi fries. - That's not a dinner.
Come on, kerrie. We're going.
Lookit, I'm sorry.
What about a drink before you go? No.
All right. Bye-bye, little love.
Ah, this is grand, what? Oh, yeah. Great.
What time is it anyway? Seven bells.
Jesus, tonight Maggie will've given me dinner to the cat.
Then eat the fuckin' cat.
Sit down, for Jesus' sake.
The vietnamese will feed us later.
So up I goes to the hatch, like. "Name?" "Jerry McCarthy."
He's lookin' at me though, over the specs, like.
"You not Gerry McCarthy," he says. "I am," I says.
"You're not," he says. "I fuckin' am," I says.
Does anyone want a kettle jug? How much?
"I know Gerry McCarthy," says he. "And you're not him. "You fuckin' idiot," I says.
"Do you think there's more than one Gerry McCarthy in the whole of fuckin' Ireland?
"I mean, there's me father, me grandfather, my seven cousins called Gerry McCarthy.
There's 18 of us in the one-area phone book." He's still lookin' at me though.
"Here. Give us me money," I says, "or me and the other Gerry mccarthys...
Will beat the fuckin' head off ya."
Kettle jugs, lads, 15 pound per, 25 pound for two.
No. No.
Fair enough. No problem.
You wouldn't have a chipper van, I suppose, would you, weslie?
- Just a thought. - What about a Mr. whippy?
No.
- You have your heart set on a chipper van? - Yeah.
Not really. Just if you see one. I'll see what I can do.
¶ We sailed on the sloop John b ¶

such a waste of good fuckin' money.
Hey, bimbo, come on.
The fresh air, it'll fix you. There's nothing wrong with me.
Shite. Where have they gone? Who?
The vietnamese.
They have to get out before it gets dark...
Or they get bricked over by the kids.
- Cause they're foreign? - Suppose so. Alley oop.
Here we go. ¶¶ [ Whistling ]
The lads. What are youse up to?
We're waitin' on your wife.
None of your lip. Now, would that be this lip or the other?
My name is Gerry McCarthy.
Do we know that fella's wife?
Fuckin' thing.
What's wrong with ya?
Me fuckin' shoe!
Show me. Here.
You're useless.
If you didn't keep biting your nails.
There.
Oh, bimbo's talking about buying a chipper van.
You're not taking your clothes off?
No!
Good night, John boy.
Good night, Mary Ellen.
Oh, fuck.
[ Man on radio ] An incurable dose of world cup fever.
Classic hits, 98 fm. This is the morning crew with pat and Elaine.
The mystery sound of dublin in five minutes, but first,
write down this £1,000 cash call total.
[ Woman on radio ] This hour it's £1,000 and 75 p.
Write that down and keep it by the phone in case we ring.
And remember, we double that if you answer the phone...
you're not serious. I knew you'd say that.
McDonald's, bimbo!
I'm just writing to them, that's all. They won't want you.
They only want young ones and young fellas that'll take those wages...
And wear the fuckin' uniforms.
Not grown-up men like you... like us.
I'm just writing.
You're used to this.
What?
I'm used to what? Go on.
Doin' nothing.
Do you think I like it? Do you think I'm lazy? Do you?
No. Well, then.
You bollocks, you.
A great fuckin' man.
I can't even go into me own house till they're ready to make room for me.
[ Chattering ]
Oi, youse busy?
What does it look like?
Come on. I wanna show you something.
What? Just come on.
This has potential written all over it. "Po-ten-tial."
Wait till you see.
Hey, come here. Look.
You could buy it with that.
[ Larry chuckling ]
Ahh. The wheels are newish.
There's three more behind there.
That'll save you a few Bob.
Ah, Jesus! All she needs is a wash and a shave under the armpits.
Yeah, which end does it shite out of? It's just dirt.
Maggie will have to see it. I'll get her. Off you go.
Hang on.
You have some fuckin' neck, do you know that? Why is that?
Tryin' to get poor bimbo to throw his money away on this yoke.
I'm not tryin' to get bimbo to throw his money away on nothing. She's a good buy.
Solid. Dirt will wash off no problem.
There's more than dirt wrong with... this is...
this is nothing got to do with you. I'm only expressing me opinion.
Stick your fuckin' opinion. Where's the hatch?
Do you know, you're starting to fuckin' annoy me now.
Jesus. Who'd wanna live like this, huh?
Should be fuckin' ashamed of themselves.
It's not "they." It's just "he."
She fucked off and left him,
kids and all.
That's rough.
Why'd she leave him? I don't know.
He's ugly, but.
What's she like? I don't know.
Fuckin' kids are ugly as well.
Oh, my God. [ Weslie ] Maggie.
Use your imagination. A few minutes with a hose and some water,
a few hours... maybe a few hours with a paint scraper, she'll be perfect.
It's all there, like, all the equipment and that.
It's a bit...
what about the engine?
What engine would that be, Maggie?
Hey, Larry, are you pushing it or riding it?
Fuck off. Larry, the kids.
Fuck them.
[ Chattering, laughing ]
Put your back into it, Larry. Work.
What am I fuckin' doing?
[ Chattering ]
[ Shouting, chattering ]
[ Groans ]
That was gas, wasn't it?
You know, the more I look at it, the more I think we're after getting a bargain.
God love him.
I can't take the bubbles. I was thinking.
We'll have to have it ready in time for the world cup.
There'll be no cookin' done once it's started. Everyone will be watching the telly.
So will I.
Should be smashing.
Do you wanna be me partner, Larry?
What's that? I was talkin' to Maggie about it.
We'd make a great team.
Jesus, thanks very much, bimbo.
I don't know. You'd be doing me a favor.
Oh, I know that. [ Chuckles ]
Well, thanks very much. Fuckin' hell, what a day.
- McDonald's can go and fuck themselves, is that right? - That's right.
[ Laughing ] Hey.
Bimbo's burgers. How does that sound?
I knew it.
[ Both laughing ]
You're something else, you know that?
Hang on a second. Do I have to help you clean it?
Mary. What?
You awake? Only if you're awake.
Go on.
How do they make these?
Jesus.
I don't think they make them. I think they just find them.
[ Chuckling ]
There. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Okay. Turn her off.
Turn it off! [ Maggie ] I heard ya.
What color is it supposed to be anyway?
White. Will you switch it on to the hot tap?
I used up all the hot doing the clothes. Oh, God almighty.
How did it get grease on the outside?
God knows. God, Larry. It's gonna take ages.
Oh, not at all. Well, it's half an inch thick.
Yeah, but we're thicker. Come on, give me that. Cheer up. Turn it on.
We'll be done by dinnertime. Hey, hey-hey.
[ Shouts ]
Scrubbers!
Ignore them.
Scrubbers!
Jesus! All I want to do is make a few chips! You'll kill us.
Good. Will you open the door?
Will you come on? Will you get out? Watch me!
Oh, fuck.
Kerrie's asleep above us.
Sorry.
It took me ages to make them chips.
Diane, is a simile when you say something is like something else?
Yeah, I think so. As black as coal.
Right. As white as snow. Thanks.
I have one for youse.
Me chips are burnt as fuck.
I'm sorry.
Do you want a job, Diane?
Ah, I'd love one. Serving?
Well, mucking in as well, but...
- oh, yeah. Thanks very much. - No problem. It'd be nice.
A job.
She'll be great. I know that. I never said different.
Well, then? Staff appointments should be a joint decision...
Between the two of us.
Yeah, sorry.
I'll tell her we don't want her. Not at all. No way.
Just in the future, we make these decisions together. Is that all right?
Oh, yeah. No problem.
She will be good, but. I know that.
Oh, and, uh, sorry, uh... ah, no, no, no.
Now, which one?
The first. Champion burger.
- Yeah. Definitely, yeah. - The best, easily.
Which one did you think, mommy?
Very nice.
Which one, but?
Is it a quiz?
Champion. Goin' once, twice. Champion it is.
What's next?
Spice burgers. Oh, Jesus.
I-I'm goin' for a pint.
It has to be done.
Not-not the best.
It's like the inside of a leper.
Ah, just a squirt gets the dirt.
Let's get a bit of light in here anyway. All right, all right, all right.
Oh, God! Jesus!
Oh, God, me heart. Fuck your heart.
Nearly did a shite in me trousers.
Needs a couple of screws. For fuck's sake.
Look, there's no fuckin' room in here.
You need the seven dwarves for this job. Aha.
Hey.
[ Chuckling ] Now, now, lads.
Geez, they're massive, made for this kind of work.
They're good at school too though, Larry. Glenn's tops in his class.
Aye, you can see that, all right. They're messing in there, bimbo.
No messing now, lads. Take it easy.
Our Kevin's no thick either.
He's doing seven honors in his leaving. Seven.
That's smashing. Hmm.
Brains to burn. Good-looking as well.
Then there's Mary doing her leaving.
The brains pour out of the house every time I open the fuckin' door.
We're lucky men. Who are you telling?
[ Laughing ]
Are you sure she's a painting student?
She is. Yeah. In a college, Maggie says.
She can't draw a straight fuckin' line.
Shh. She'll be grand. She'll be grand. Okay.
Suit yourself. It's your fuckin' money.
That's grand now.
Blood's washed off them already.
Look, I told you.
Here we go.
- Jesus! - Mind the water.
Mind the water! I'm trying to mind the fucking water.
Glenn, Wayne, Jessica. Come on down here and earn your keep.
I'm losing me grip. Nearly there. Nearly there.
God, she looks gorgeous.

Make you think twice about eating them, wouldn't it? No.
Me fingers are stuck.
God love you. There you go.
The man from del monte.

[ Blows ]
There. Is that better? Yeah, but no.
Good man.
Ah-ah. I counted.
All right.
Oh, good.
She was fucking color-blind as well.
The burger looks like a fuckin' sausage. Shut up, Larry, will ya?
It's nice and bright.
Is he still complaining? Nah, he's grand.
God. I've got the collywobbles.
Don't worry, love. It'll be great. Wait and see.

- A big burger. - Right. And what does it say up there.
"Bimbo's...
Burgers." Right. And what else?
"Fresh fish. Today's chips today."
That's right. It doesn't say anything about a choc-ice, does it?
No. Now, it doesn't. Sure, it doesn't. So fuck off!

Great stuff. So we have our own patch down on the beach anytime we want.
Brilliant, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
I'm off to the cash-and-carry. See youse later.

Sunburnt... and hungry.
Oh, Jesus.
Yahoo! Come on, Diane.
[ Chattering ]
Here, it's supposed to be a straight line.
Get into a straight line.

Oh, Jesus. Not again.
Here. How's the water? Shocking. Filthy dirty, it is.
Here. That's the chips. And a COD.
You wouldn't put your worst enemy swimming in it. Yes, I would.
Jesus. Holy... [ Squalling continues ]

Come on, hurry up. Hurry up, will you?
Make sure nothing drops in the chips.

[ Squalling continues ] There now.
Enjoy your meal. Cheerio.
Diane, take over here, will you? I need oxygen.
Hey. Cheer up, droopy drawers.
Six singles, please.
Uh, no. Seven. May as well.
I don't want them chips. Well, you're gettin' them.
I only own three of them.
They're lovely. They're bastards, every fuckin' one of them.
This'll be the last. With a bit of luck it'll be deaf and dumb.
Right. Queue up for your "chipses."
- Me first. - Your mammy first.
She's always first.
[ No audible dialogue ] Hey!
Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Come on out here, all of you!
What's your problem? I'll tell you what.
This is a queue. What's your problem?
It's your problem. The fish?
"The fish." Yeah, it's fresh.
- It was grand and hard comin' out of the freezer. - I bit into it.
That's what you're supposed to do.
You think you're supposed to ride it?
It's not fish.
Oh, fuck. What is it?
It's white. It's a nappy.
Aw, fuck off, would you? He's right, Larry. Fouled it up.
Oh, God, that's shockin'. She must have put it in the batter.
Shut up! Is it a used one?
No. Ah! Well, that's all right then, huh?
It looks like a bit of fish folded up. That's gas.
Your money back and a can of coke. How's that sound?
Were the chips all right? What's your name?
A tenner. That's me final offer. I have the evidence.
Shove the fuckin' evidence. Here, get out, you, and start the van.
Go on. Which of youse is bimbo's?
Ah, me arse. It must be terrible being bald in weather like this.
I'm remembering all of this.
Old man, cheerio now, baldy conscience. Keep in touch.
[ Shouts ]
[ Baby squalling ]
Oh, he'll get the registration. No, it's in bimbo's shed.
He might be followin' us.
Good point.
Hey! Hey! Here.
You'll kill him! What?
Hey! Here's some more evidence for you. Look.
Huh? Here. [ Cackling ]
- None of this would ever have happened... - Aw, shut up.
You've been great pals for years.
You should try and make sure that it stays that way.
Don't worry, love. The two of you.
Don't worry. It's just...
he's not used to sharing...
and working with someone else.
He hasn't worked in years.
You're a very patient man, love. No.
He's gas sometimes.
It's grand. Good.
He doesn't really like me. Sure, he doesn't.
He does. No.
He doesn't.
Ah. Doesn't matter.
The summer's nearly over, remember.
We have to think ahead.
Right. The horse show.
Waste of time.
The horsey crowd don't eat chips.
They only eat caviar and that sort of shite.
And pheasant. Exactly.
You'd be all day trying to get the batter to stay on a pheasant.
Okay. There's some concerts comin' up.
Give us a look.
"Megadeth." You ever hear of them, Larry?
Yeah. You'd love them. They're heavy metal.
- Do heavy "metallers" eat chips, Larry? - Probably.
Megadeth.

Ah, now here. Here. Leave him be.
They're his own opinions. Okay, okay.
Good luck to you.
Do vegetarians eat fish? Some do.

You can do the fish, and me and bimbo'll look after the rest. How's that?
Okay so. Sound.
What about burgers? There's fuck-all meat in them.
No. Good man. Good man.
Stick to your principles.
That's the second time you've done that.
Who else is there? There's plenty.
Maggie's brother.
Well, why didn't you say? I didn't know.
It's nothin'. Have your money ready.
You didn't know what?
I didn't know the situation was vacant.

Smoked COD... Kevin, that's your department.
Geez. The heat in here will kill you. It's bad, all right.
Desperate.
You know, this place should be called bimbo's and Larry's burgers.
No.
It wouldn't sound right. Ah. You're right.
Too long. Yeah.
[ Clamoring ]
Here, stop that now, lads. Come on. [ Boy ] "Stop that now lads."

Stop! That's me fuckin' guitar hand! That's your wankin' hand.

Look at me fuckin' threads. Thirty poxy pounds' worth.
This is ridiculous, Larry. You think so?

Oh, Jesus.

Suppose you're gonna blame me in this as well.
Sorry.
It's just that... it'll get to you.

A night on the batter. It'll do us good.
- What do you say? - Right, then.
Okay. Good man.

[ No audible dialogue ] How are youse, girls?
Hey, pal.
"Lezzers."
Your women. Them.
How can you tell? They're with each other.
You can just tell.
Ah. This is the life, huh?
[ Larry ] There it is. Lookit.
Here. What color socks are you wearing?
Uh, blue. Blue, it looks like. Thank God for that.
They won't let you in if you're wearing white socks. Why not?
I don't know. Wankers and "bolloxers" wear white socks.
Wouldn't you think they'd cop on and wear a different color?
That's why they're wankers, I suppose.
I'll do the talkin', all right?
How are you, lads? We're after comin' from a conference.
Go on in, sir. Go on.
Thanks very much.
Now shut up, for fuck's sake.
Good bouncers can smell fear. They're like dogs.

Sorry, girls. Uh, two pints when you're ready.
Wine bar only. What? Are you serious?
[ Bimbo ] What's wrong? [ Woman ] Try the wine.

Are youse drinkin' it yourselves? We are, yeah.
Aren't we, Anne Marie? Yeah.
Oh, that's grand. We'll try a drop of that, what?
Here, pal. A bottle of house red wine.
I'm Larry, by the way, and this is bim... Brendan.
Hello, Brendan. My name's dawn.
This is Anne Marie. Hi.
Just park it there, son.
Don't fancy yours too much, huh?
He wants to know do you want to taste it first?
Oh, fuckin' sure I do. I... oh.
Pardon the French, dawn. [ Chuckles ]
Oh, yeah. A-one, a-one.
Pour away. How much is that?
It's £27, please.
That's grand. [ Clears throat ] Here you go.

Twenty-seven fuckin' pounds.
Here. What do you think of mine, boy? Huh?
Hey. Don't look.
I can tell you're a tough boss to work for, Larry. What? No.

¶ Let's set you free ¶

Oh! There youse are.
How are things at your end, huh? Your complexions are very good,
considering you work in a chipper van.
You fuckin' idiot.
Uh, we're building up a fleet of them.
Oh! There's the red wine. Look. Yeah, my twist.
Ninety-seven quid, isn't that it? [ Bartender ] That's it.
That's a funny thing to do for a living, really, isn't it?
No, not really.
¶¶ [ Slow dance ]
Now, now.
Sorry.
His nickname's bimbo.
Stop that.
Aw, go on. [ Groans ]
No.
Fuck you.
Where the fuck is he?
Come out.
Come on. I know you're in there.
[ Toilet flushes ]
What's wrong with you? Come out!
[ Groans ]
You all right?
Well, it's not thanks to you if I am.
[ Groans ]
You messed it up for me with your woman. How did I?
It's not my fault if she didn't like you.
I was away on a hack till you opened your mouth.
What did I say? You told them about the fuckin' van.
What's wrong with that?
Is it not good enough for you?
It pays your wages.
If you don't want to work in it, you can leave anytime you want.
I'm sick of you and your bullying.
Oh, you got off with your woman and I... [ Groans ]
Sorry.
[ Exhales ]
That's the stupidest row we've every had.
Thick. Fuckin' ridiculous.
We'll go home, will we?
Yeah.

I don't want...
let's go home.
[ Mary ] I got an "a."
What?
Me exams... I got an "a."
Your results?
Kevin is after gettin' seven honors.
Brilliant.
Is he, um... is he downstairs, is he?
He's down there makin' coffee, like as if nothin' happened.
Ah, that's Kevin, what?
As cool as a...
oh, Jesus. I'm delighted.
Uh, I'll get up now and congratulate him.
In a minute.
God, I'm useless.
A wage.
Yeah.
From now on, every week.
It was too messy the other way, so...
okay? Okay.
Where'd you get the envelopes?
Eason's. He's a good man.
All by yourself?
[ Children playing outside ]
[ Glass breaks ]
Maybe I'm just being mean. No.
You're dead right.
[ Boy shouts ]
How many did I put in? That would be the fourth.
God.
Just shows you where me head is.
You really think I'm doing the right thing?
Yes, I do.
She's probably sewin' a fuckin' uniform for me.
Orange, you know?
And a fuckin' hat.
Oh, the bitch. I hate her.
I should tell him to stick his wages up his ass.
You should join a union. No.
Frighten the shite out of him. [ Chuckling ]
Leo, what union are you in?
The Irish national union of vintners, grocers and allied trade assistants.
There you are.
¶¶ [ Rock ] [ Chattering ]
Larry.

I'm on me break.
I'm entitled to 10 minutes' break...
For every two hours that I work.
Yeah. Every two hours.
The both of us. Stop messin', will ya?
I'm not messin'. I'm entitled to me break.
There you go. Kevin as well.
You leave me out of this.
Jesus. We've done nothin' all night, except till a few minutes ago.
Not the point. Not the point at all.
- My union rep told me... - Union?
I was available for work.
I've five minutes left, then I'll sweat for you...

I don't do burgers.
[ Man ] Who's gonna get me fuckin' burger?
[ Bimbo ] Right. What was it you wanted?
[ Man ] Put sausage on everything.
Any onion rings?
Burger and chips.
God, your feet!
Sorry.
How was it tonight, love?
Grand.
How are ya? Des o'Callaghan.
I'm an environmental health officer with the eastern health board.
Then you're not in the union? Uh, no.
I'm going to have to inspect your premises.
Have you got a warrant? Uh, I don't actually need one.
I'm entitled to inspect these premises under the food hygiene act.
Uh-huh.
Can I see your hands, please?
Aw, now, here.
Do we pass? I'm afraid not.
I'm finished.
I'm gonna have to close you down, lads. Now, hang on a minute.
Just hear me out, please. Thanks.
Which one of you is the proprietor?
I am. I am.
All right, Mr. Reeves... mm-hmm.
I have to tell you that your van...
Poses a grave and serious danger to public health.
I'm closing you down now.
Hey, what about our fuckin' jobs? Shut up, will ya?
The floors are filthy.
The walls are filthy.
The foodstuffs aren't properly covered or stored,
and you are... Personally unclean...
especially your colleague. I'm sorry.
Your fingernails are what my mother would call a disgrace.
There are enough breaches of the food-hygiene regulations in here...
To land you a hefty fine, and even a custodial sentence. What, jail, do you mean?
Aw, pull the other one. Just shut up.
It's not that bad. Yes, it is.
A week, Mr. Reeves... I'm giving you a week.
However, Mr. Reeves, I must warn you,
if you fail to carry out even one of the demands on this list,
I'm going to have to close you down.
Cheerio.
[ Larry ] Nice fella, what?
I hope you're happy now.
I had nothing to do with this.
Yeah. I didn't.
I never saw or heard of him before today.
This is crazy. It has nothing to do with me.
So you said. Are you listening to me? Are you?
Let me up. I will. Just listen to me.
Now, your man coming here today had nothing to do with me, right?
I didn't rat on you.
Do you believe me?
Yeah. Yeah, I believe you.
Right.
We-we can get the van fixed. Don't worry.
If it hadn't been for your man, it would have been something else.
What's that supposed to mean? You were gonna get me anyway.
What do you mean? One way or another, with your union or...
shut up! Make me.
You told someone about me and that woman in the nightclub.
No, I didn't. You told weslie.
I didn't.
[ Sobs ] Does Maggie know?
Am I that bad?
Yeah.
I pay you well. Don't I? Don't I, Larry?
Yes. Yes, you do. Yeah. Well, then?
It's just, when we started... when we got the van...
when I bought the van, do you mean?
Forget it. When I... when me and Maggie bought the van.
[ Bimbo ] Come on back.
Fuck off. Come on!
Fuck off!
[ Both grunting, groaning ]
[ Both groan ]
[ Both panting ] Lord.
Sorry.
Let's go for a pint.
[ Chattering ]
The eastern health board. Fuck off.
Aw, Larry. "Aw, Larry," nothin'.
I won't be goin' back. Yeah.
I'll pay you your redundancy money though, Larry.
Thanks very much. I'll buy a fuckin' chipper van with it.
What happened, Larry?
I don't know. Two pints.
Come on, Larry. Come on.

The fuckin' world.
Fifty-fifty. You know? What do you say?
Fifty-fifty. What are you fuckin' talkin' about?
Fifty-fifty.
A half for me and... the way it was.
Forget it. Go on.
Partners. Forget it. Fuck that.
No way.
Larry, you're my best friend.
Bollocks.
- I'm going to kill it. - What?
I'm going to kill the poxy van.
Hey, come back here, you.
Bimbo, come back. It's my round.
Here, stop. Come back in, bimbo.
Jesus. Come in.
It'll wait till tomorrow. No, Larry.
Oh, fuck.
[ Tires screeching ]

[ Screaming ] Geez!
- That was Wally. - Fuck the jelly.
That was Wally there. The dirty bollocks. Did you see him?
Did you fuckin' see him? Who?
Wa... mind the fuckin' roundabout.
Are you ready, Larry?
Who'd get into a car with that shite bag?
Here goes.
[ Engine revving high ]
- You'll regret it. - No, I won't.
Not me.
[ Larry ] Don't do it.
I don't want you to do it, bimbo.
Mission accomplished.
Whoa! Oh, Jesus!
[ Groaning ]
Where are you, you fuckin' idiot, you?
Oh, Jesus. The pain, the pain!
[ Groans ] The pain. [ Whimpering ]
Aw, come on, bimbo. It's done.
I did it! I did it, Larry.
Come on before we die.
Easy-peasy. Easy-peasy, my bollocks.
Fuck.
[ Groans ]
Geez.
A day at the seaside. Christ.
[ Groans ]
Come on.
Shoes and socks, bimbo. Come on.
You'll catch your death.
We'll be able to come back for it when the tide's out.
I'm sorry, bimbo.
[ Larry ] We'll be able to get it back.
We can come back with shovels.
No.
What's wrong?
Give us a hug, Mary, will ya?
I need a hug.
