The Gentlemen · Season 1, Episode 6

Frederick "Freddy" Horniman, James "Jimmy" Chang and others in “All Eventualities”

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

[in cannabis grow-op] Welcome to the cauldron of creativity, brother. James, would you give us the floor?

JCJames "Jimmy" Chang

Oh, yeah, of course. [fist bumps Freddy] Relax. You got this, fam. [leaves]

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

That’s cool. Thanks, man.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

So what’s this little project you’ve got going with Jimmy?

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

[chuckles] Okay, well, first of all, it’s not just a little fucking... [sighs deeply] The point is, this time, I did something extraordinary. And your bosses are gonna wanna hear about it.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

All right, Freddy. I have no doubt. I just wanna temper your expectations.

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

That’s fine, that’s fine. Temper away. Go ahead and temper those expectations. I’m about to exceed yours.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

[Freddy places potted plant on table] What exactly is that?

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

See, what happened was, I meet this guy. Old guy, big beard, looked like Jesus. Starts telling me about this project he’s been working on. Growing sativa marijuana seeds in the same soil as coca plants. See, what happens is, over time, the seeds start to absorb the properties from the coke plants, and, eventually, voilà! Crack weed. Or weed crack. I can’t remember which way–

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

I have to stop you there.

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

No, let me finish, okay? Look, I know... I know this sounds crazy– And scientifically impossible. Look, I appre– This shit is gonna be a fucking game changer for the business. The bottom line is, I just… I just need you to arrange a sit-down for me with Susie, okay?

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

What?

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

And... possibly also with her dad.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

No.

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

Pleaseǃ

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

Circumstances have changed, all right? The Glasses can’t be trusted. They’re exploiting us.

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

Fuck itǃ Let’s exploit them right backǃ

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

They are dangerous, all right? Susie had Jethro killed.

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

Who the fuck is Jethro? Who... Oh, [makes headphone gesture] the... the guy with the...

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

Yeah, yeah.

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

Okay, all right. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Well, obviously, I mean, that is pretty bad.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

The point is, Freddy, they lied to us. Susie lied to us. They have no intention of ever leaving our land.

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

Maybe we don’t want them to leave. Listen, Eddie, I know… I know I can be a touch unreliable at times, but I really think I’m onto something here.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

You know what I think, Freddy? I think that you are an addict.

FHFrederick "Freddy" Horniman

What the fuck has that–

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

And this is one of many indulgences that I’m gonna have to bail you out of. This is not a game, Freddy. They will kill you. They will kill me. They will kill our entire fucking family if it helps them get what they want. I’m not gonna change my mind.
