The Gentlemen · Season 2, Episode 2

Lord Hawthorne and Jack Glass in “There's a Rat in the Kitchen”

[at an eating establishment] I've always taken great pleasure in the culinary delights of the invertebrate. [chuckles] The crushed ice. The gleaming treasure served up on a calciferous shell. The slippery feeling as it glides down your throat. Do you take a couple of chews on the way, or do you prefer to swallow them whole?

Well, it depends on the oysters. When they're this fresh, you need to give them a bit of a chomp. Make sure they're dead.

Oh. Wonderful how the animal instinct kicks in, even in as refined a setting as this. Tell me something, Jack. If you had to be an animal, which animal would it be?

Well, Dad always says I fight like a dog. But I think that's a compliment.

[chuckles] Oh, you're much higher up the food chain than that. A lion, maybe. Or perhaps a wolverine. I've always identified as a fox. You see, I'm wily and cunning. And I have a very bushy tail.

Listen, Richard. I don't mind a bit of chasey-chasey, but there's gonna be no sucky-fucky at the end.

Oh, Jack, Jack, Jack. [chuckles] I think you've completely misread things. I wouldn't...

I don't mind playing the game and having a little flirt, if it makes you happy. But your cock and my arse? Not gonna happen. Not that I have a problem with it. It just ain't really my relish.

What is your relish?

Mіnge, mսff, gash, clunge. Front, not back bottom.
