Mmmmm. I enjoyed that flick.
Yeah, I always did like a good Chinese film with German voices(!)
Ahh, it don't matter much with these martial arts stories, does it? No, it's the mayhem and the gratuitous violence that counts.
Maybe we should all take up karate, eh? That might get rid of you-know-who.
Right. I, er... I often have fantasies about being Bruce Lee, don't you?
No. He can't sing.
I'd really like to be able to, you know, chop a brick in half, smash it right in half. Wouldn't you?
Not a lot.
It'd be great, though, wouldn't it? Just once to be confronted by bloodthirsty hooligans, and dispose of them with a few timely chops to the neck. I've always wanted to be able to do that. Especially after a Wolves game when I found meself hemmed in by hordes of rampant skinheads.
You constantly surprise me, you do, Barry. Eh? I mean, beneath that passive exterior beats the heart of a would-be ninja.
Yeah?
Yeah.
...What's a ninja?
A ninja? I thought you'd have known that. In your martial arts fraternity, none is more deadly than your ninja.
Really?
Yeah. It's the ultimate, son. Just one look, right, can fill a man with dread.
A bit like Magowan.
No. He's no ninja, son. A certifiable lunatic, he is.
Ah, he's certainly kept us out of the hut, hant'he? That's my third film in three days.
[Looking out of the window] Ain't that Nev?
Where?
There. [Outside, Neville walks past an adult cinema.]
Aye, it is, innit? Yeah. Where's he off to?
Where's he been, more like it, eh?
Aye, he's been very cagey these last few days, han't he?
I'm sure I've seen him come out of that place across the street there.
What's place?
That one there, look. The porn cinema.
No?
Yeah.
That's weird, that is, you know, 'cos... the other day I caught Nev copying out an ad from a shop window.
Really? What ad was that?
I dunno, but it was for things like flats and flagellation.
No.
Ah, straight up.
Well, Nev's obviously found himself an outside interest, then, ain't he, eh?
