[sitting in vehicle] Does the name Stanley Johnston ring a bell?
No, why?
He’s the chap I just sold the wine to. He is very interested in buying the estate. And the kind of money he was offering suggested he might know something about the operation.
What did you say his name was?
Stanley Johnston.
With a ‘T’.
What did you say to him?
I said it wasn’t for sale.
Well done. That’s the correct answer. [hands out sheet] Take a look at this.
What is it?
The lyrics to a song Freddy’s gotta sing when he hands the money over. And he’s gotta dance. Like a chicken.
Like a chicken?
Like a chicken.
Why does he have to dance like a chicken?
Because Tommy Dixon, understandably, needs an apology. [Pete gestures from residence door] Party time. [She and Eddie exits vehicle]
[walking to residence door and reads aloud] “I’m a posh twat who fucked up, ee-iee-io. I fucked up because I’m a knob, ee-iee-io. With a twat, twat here, and a twat, twat there.” How old is Tommy Dixon?
It’s a small price to pay.
[holds up bags] Want us to count it? Guy said it’s all there.
No, I’m good.
You sure? It’ll just take a little while.
No, come on, let’s go.
All right. I think he wants to say sorry.
Oh. Do you want an apology?
I don’t know. Do I?
Yes, you do. We need closure.
Blanket!
[drags out a bloodied Freddy] One Sticky Peteǃ
I... I just wanted to say sorry from the bottom of my heartǃ Ah, that’s nice, innit, Eddie? I gave you back the money, and I’ve said I’m sorry, so are we cool?
[sighs] I don’t know. Are we cool, Edward?
Yeah. Yeah, we’re cool. [walking to vehicle] You said you were gonna talk to him.
Oh, we did. Don’t worry about him. We did him a favor. We discipline the dog, not the man.
What’s that supposed to mean?
There’s a dog in a man that the man can’t control. So we had to control it for him. Know what the fundamental challenge with the human condition is?
No. But filling in the blanks, is it too much dog and not enough man?
Too much untrained dog. And we are in the dog training business.
