Susan Glass quotes from The Gentlemen

We have got a visitor, flown in all the way from South America.

[from walkway bridge in loft] Buenos días, Susanita.

Hector, you're a long way from home.

I wanted to tell you the good news in person. Mr. Vargas says yes.

So we're on?

You fսcking bet we're on.

[voiceover of montage] My father regaled me with stories about the perils of the chop game from an early age. For him, the gap between Class A and Class B drսg was a vast chasm that could never be crossed. His rationale was that cоcɑіnе dealers were like wild animals, capable of anything, and always hurtling towards their own inevitable destruction. However, that doesn't mean the distribution infrastructure he's built in the weed game over the last 20 years isn't perfectly suited to cоcɑіnе. An infrastructure we can take advantage of with the help of some old friends. [in a flashback scene] Chucky, Joe, meet JP and family.

How are we, lads? Beautiful place. Ready?

[toasting drinks] Slainte!

[voiceover of montage] Providing everyone involved acts with due discretion. The Duke's attempts to create a lucrative new revenue stream were always gonna come to my father's attention, meaning they were always dependent on his consent. A gift that he was ultimately unwilling to give. Whereas we're just piggybacking on his preexisting operation. So long as my father never finds out, he never needs to worry.

Chucky Kubra

[in a flashback scene] This is not how you clean cash, Suze. You go slowly. There's too much money coming through.

Uh, I think it's a problem we can deal with. Right, Suze?

Yeah. We'll get on to it straight away. [voiceover of montage] The truth is that what my father was presenting as wisdom was, in fact, masking a lack of ambition that, over time, turned him into an evergreen tree, under which nothing else could grow. As soon as you free yourself from that cautious and inward-looking mindset, the possibilities are limitless, and the only real problem you're faced with is what to do with all that money.

[Joe walks past] See? There he is. Nothing to worry about.

Chucky Kubra

Uh, Suze, I don't know about you, but, uh, I don't fancy dying today.

No one's gonna die, Chucky. Everything's fine. This is just some kind of scam or a massive fuck-off.

Chucky Kubra

Suze, in both those scenarios, we could end up fսcking dead.

It'll be fine.

Chucky Kubra

What are you so calm for, you bastard?

Any idea what's going on here, Suze?

There seems to have been some kind of miscommunication with our mate Hector. Turns out the gear was never ours to sell.

No. Nah, that's crazy. Hector wouldn't do that.

Yoǃ Sit down. And you. I'll tell you what I'll do.

Chucky Kubra

I do a banging karak chai. You fancy a tea? I'll do you a tea. Yeah? Tea?

No chai. And you're not going anywhere, mate. [calls to subordinate] Angel. [to Joe] I've got a couple of questions for you, Joe. And I hope you've got the answers I need so we can move forward.

Yeah, so do I.

You bought all this cоcɑіnе off Hector, right?

Uh-huh.

Where is the rest?

We... We sold it.

You make a lot of money?

Yeah, yeah, we did okay.

Where is the money now?

That's our money, Arturo.

The cоcɑіnе wasn't yours. So the money does not belong to you. You need to tell me where is the fսcking money. Otherwise, it's gonna be a problem. For you. For your compañeros.

[Arturo grabs Susie's hand with a raised screwdriver] Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm the fսck down! What the fսck? Listen, listen, okay? The money, yeah? The money is at my flat. Okay? But I can give you something you want much more than money. Yeah? Hector. The bloke that stole the coke off you in the first place.

Where is he?

I spoke to him this morning! Yeah? He's on the way to my flat right now. I suggest, okay... I suggest that... that me and you, we meet him there, so we can... so we can just straighten all of this out, yeah? [exhales]

Okay. Play nicely.

[in Spanish to Bruno with a raised gun] These pricksǃ They have no idea what they've gotten themselves into. [in English] You stay here. She's going to the flat. Angel. Bruno. You bring Hector back. You know where he lives, right?

Yeah, I know where he lives.

[in Spanish] If Hector isn't there. Then kill her.

[posing as delivery worker holding up clipboard] Sorry, is it all right if I get one of you boys to sign this? Only I'm in a bit of a rush today.

Jack Glass

Oi, mate, where do you want these bad boys? [opens fire on Vargas thugs]

Chucky Kubra

[Susie appears in restaurant dining floor and shoots Arturo dead] What the fսck's going on in here, Susie?

That's the £12 million question, innit?

Jack Glass

Suze, you're gonna have to tell me what's going on.

I will. When I know. Right now, I need you to put those bodies somewhere no one will ever find them. And you can't talk to Dad about any of it.

Jack Glass

Right, look, are you on top of this or not?

I'm on top of it.

This is the way I see it, yeah? Either Arturo was making some kind of land grab, taking us and Hector out so that he can control the UK, or Hector has been lying to us from the beginning.

We need to speak to Hector.

I haven't spoken to him in days.

You said you tried to call him this morning.

I made that up, trying to split their numbers so we could take them out.

We need to speak to Vargas. Explain the situation.

You really think he's gonna listen after what we just did? Susie, we need to disappear until we figure things out. Vargas is gonna come after us. It's what these people do. It's what these people are like. Look, uh... [gets close to her] I'm not gonna let anything happen to ya. Susie, I love ya. And we're in this together, yeah? This is what we're gonna do. We're gonna grab the money, get the fսck out of here. We can go anywhere. Tenerife, Thailand, fսcking Timbuktu.

Okay. Um... I can sort a plane from the Duke's airfield.

Good. Yeah. I'll get the cash from the flat. You grab the diamonds. Pack whatever you can into a small suitcase. Pack lightly.

How light? ( chuckles softly )

This might not be forever, but it might be. [kisses her]

[appears at airfield] I hope I'm not interrupting.

Not at all. This is a pleasant surprise.

Ah, likewise.

Going anywhere nice?

I'm taking an impromptu trip. You know me, I'm a lady of leisure these days.

You're looking good, all things considered.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about the fallout with you and my dad. I thought a slap on the wrist would have sufficed, but you know what he's like when he's in a tizzy.

Doesn't matter now. It's in the past. But I feel like I have a clearer idea of what I want these days.

What's that?

Everything.

Punchy. You've certainly been able to pull some silver linings out of what most people would've considered pretty murky waters.

You have to leave yourself behind to realize the true value of yourself. Once you lose everything, you realize the things that you had were ephemeral and transitory. They were never really yours in the first place.

You're starting to scare me, Eddie.

That's not scary. I'm worried about you, Susan.

Worried about me, how? That I'm emotionally unhinged? Overly materialistic? Lacking in karmic balance?

Sad. That was the word I was gonna use. Sad. Don't worry about me, Eddie. I'll be just fine. Go on. You'll miss your flight. Yeah. Keep in touch.
