The Gentlemen Season 2 quotes

[meets Eddie at residence] Sorry to trouble you, Your Grace. We spoke to the lawyer as per your instructions.

You got the address of the accountant?

Over an hour ago. But it seems our, uh, Japanese friend is pretty keen in there.

Be more specific, Geoffrey.

We got what we came for, but he's still torturing the poor soul.

[opens door to Takashi throttling lawyer and holds up card] We have the address of the accountant. I'll take you to him. Let's go.

[speaks Japanese into phone, which audibly translates] One has yet to conclude one's work.

No, we've finished. Let's go.

[speaks Japanese into phone, which audibly translates] One has yet to conclude one's work.

[gestures] Work over. This is NOT the job. Work... over. Good. [Takashi shoots lawyer in the head] Fսck. [walks out] That's a problem, Geoffrey.

[on phone] Eddie, how are things progressing with our mutual acquaintance?

Ah, his methods are, uh, a touch extreme, to put it mildly.

Yes, but you have the address?

Yeah, we have the address. The accountant is renting a house in Castle Combe.

[chuckles] Let me make something very clear. Our target is a monster. It's imperative this accountant disappears.

The agreement was for one body. We're already one body down.

Yes, but if our Japanese friend's methods appear a little extreme, there is a good reason for that. Okay? So tell me, is it a problem or not? Yes or no?

There's no problem.

[playing billiards with Susie] Remember that time me and Jack nicked those mountain bikes? Those Islington boys came looking for 'em all Ralphed up, roided to the nipples, threatening all sorts, and then you, Susie Glass, you tore straight into 'em, didn't ya?

Might have looked the bollocks. They didn't have a bollock between them. It's the tragic price of steroids.

I fancied you after that.

Because I stood up to a couple of council-flat acne backs? Fսck off, Joe.

No. No, obviously I fancied you before that. You were gorgeous. Still are. No, it was the way you wouldn't countenance any shenanigans.

Still don't.

So what exactly is this relationship between you and the Duke?

Professional.

Joe: Incongruous juxtaposition, wouldn't you say? You and His Highness?

That's a paradox, Joe. Paradoxes relate to irony. Ironies correlate to juxtaposition. Really wanna play this game?

I'll play any fսcking game you like, Susie Glass.

Thank you, Joe. Balls in pockets, fingers in pies, noses in other people's business. What are you up to, Big J? You wanna back off pronto before you find yourself in a Chinese finger trap.

I'll tell you why I ask. I wonder if your time would be better suited in a different game.

Different game? What the fսck are you talking about?

More dough. Less bulk. Fatter margins. And your dad wouldn't be barking orders at ya. Bollocks like yours, Susie, are rare. You've got skills, experience. Vision.

Whilst I've no doubt there are vast gains to be had from dealing in the powder, the risk remains that bit too elevated for my liking.

Since when was Susie Glass afraid of heights?

It's not the heights. It's the volatility. It's the South American coke dealers. They love a morbid body puzzle. They chop each other's cousins up into little pieces, put them in plastic bags, and hide them all over the tundra. And they put those pieces back together again like some third-world version of Humpty Dumpty. Nah, you can fսck off, Joe. I like the green fields of England. What I wanna know is if you asked me out 'cause you fancied a bunk up, or 'cause you wanted to sound me out about a change of career?

Can't it be both?

It's not my place to say anything, sir.

Sounds like you're going to anyway, so why don't you go ahead?

This journey that you've embarked on to bring the estate back to its former glory, it seems to be coming at quite a cost. For years, we've been living in the zoo and contracting. Now we're living in the jungle and expanding. And, yes, that does come at a cost.

[Sabrina and Charly visit Freddy in rehab] Oh, there he is. Little, um, baby Tim. Tim?

Tarquin.

Tarquin.

Yeah.

Fabulous, fabulous name. How's he doing?

[sighs] Ghastly, most of the time.

[chuckles] I'd love to give him a cuddle.

Yeah, of course. Yeah. Just, um, maybe when he wakes up.

Maybe he won't wake up.

Sorry?

Maybe he'll stay asleep, 'cause it's peaceful in here. 'Cause it's... Well, I find it peaceful, anyway. [seated at table with Sabrina and Charly] The good news is, I've... I've come to a realization, which I would like to tell you about. It's a big one. It might come as a little bit of a shock. [awkwardly chuckles] But, um, I have been reborn. Spiritually speaking. [sighs] Family is everything to me. I have been less than the older brother I should have been. I haven't been there for you. All those years, hoovering up lines of cоcɑіnе like a fսcking Henry the Hoover. But I wanna be there for you now. For you and... your newborn son.

Sabrina Horniman

Well, that's just-

Mummy, I failed you and Dad. I... I... I failed in my responsibilities, and, um, I realize that Dad was right to leave everything... everything to Edward. No, he was. He was right. And, um, I'm glad. [chuckles] I'm actually... I'm grateful that he did. Because that all led me here. That being said, I think that I'm ready to come home now. [gasps] If... I mean, if you guys want me to.

Sabrina Horniman

Yes!

Yeah.

Sabrina Horniman

Oh God, of courseǃ

You'll have me back?

Sabrina Horniman

We want you home.

Great.

Sabrina Horniman

We do, my darling.

Great.

Sabrina Horniman

I do think it's important not to rush into these things.

I'm not rushing. I've thought about it a lot. I've got a bag packed.

Sabrina Horniman

Yes, well, not today.

We don't have room in the car.

Sabrina Horniman

There's no room in the car.

Sabrina Horniman

[being driven away] Did you notice a lot of crucifixes?

Among other things.

Sabrina Horniman

There's something very strange going on.

Gabrielle

[calling Jack, spying on Eddie, Geoff and Takashi breaking into a cottage] They've just pulled up to a cottage now. Three of them got out. The Duke, the keeper, and some Japanese-looking geezer.

Do we know any Japanese-looking gentlemen?

Jack Glass

Dad's chef?

[on phone] Keep your head down and us updated.

Jack Glass

Why are we keeping an eye on the Duke then?

He's sniffing around the Italians. Too much nose to bum. He's been pulling on the lead a bit recently. Not a lot. Just a little tug every now and again. It's just a feminine instinct at this stage, Jackie boy. But I wouldn't underestimate that instinct.

[served a drink by Susie in the boxing training gym office] Thank you. What a wonderful place for an office. Such a masculine atmosphere. You can just taste the testosterone. And yet here you sit, a beautiful rose in a tangle of thorns.

I like to think my feminine sensibilities act as something of a counterbalance.

What are you gonna do with the rat? Kill it or let it out in the garden?

Kill it.

[realizes implication] There is a rat, isn't there? [holds out hand and Richard embraces it and kisses it]

[Eddie and Geoff pull up to Hastead manor] Good afternoon, Captain. You look like you've had a day of it. Anything you'd like to divulge?

Why don't we discuss it over a cup of tea?

Let's skip the tea. Get to the part where you tell me why there's a body in the back of your car. Are you gonna deny it?

Geoffrey? [Geoff opens trunk to reveal Takashi's body] I have a plan for that body.

Can I remind you of your position in the hierarchy? You work with us, not outside of us, and at the end of the day, my dad is the boss. It's best not to forget that.

I am well aware of the hierarchy, Susan. Who is he? There's a long and complicated explanation, which I'll share with you in the fullness of time. Back to the plan, please. [motions head] The plan is to use this body to bring Lord Hawthorne into the fold, thus securing my place in the House of Lords. First, we get one of your people to intercept him at one of his decadent, all-weekend parties. When he sets his drink aside, we'll slip him a goodnight pill. And the next morning, he'll wake up to a lovely surprise. [Lord Hawthorne wakes up in bed next to Takashi's body]

[calling] Lord Hawthorne, how are you this fine morning? Oh, that's terrible. Where are you? Good thing you called me. We have an understanding with the people that own that venue, so it's definitely something I can help you with. As luck could have it, we happen to be in the neighborhood. Stay where you are.

[walking into hotel room to see Takashi's body] Looks like quite the party.

Lord Hawthorne

I have no idea what happened.

Don't worry, Dickie. I'm sure we can find a way to sort it out for you. All will be well, won't it, Eddie?

Exactly.

[sitting in vehicle] So your intention is to let the bill go through, decriminalize mɑrіjսɑnɑ, and evoke the wrath of my dearly beloved father because, what, you wanna go legitimate?

It's not about legitimate or illegitimate, Susie. It's about having our cake and eating it. With Lord Hawthorne's backing, we let the bill go through. Then, meanwhile, we invest in a legitimate company that we bring in to sell our illegally grown weed on a legitimate market, avoiding the cost of regulation, undercutting our competitors, and becoming the corner shop of cannabis.

What about the elephant in the room? My father wants the bill blown out of the water.

Your father's got the blinkers on.

He's not gonna appreciate being blindsided.

Then we wait until we can present a fait accompli and we choose our moment extremely carefully.

"We"?

Yes, we. I was always gonna bring you in. I wanted to make sure I could deliver.

And you're confident you can?

Well, with you on board, I am.

I'd better think about it very carefully, then.

You'd better.

What are you praying for, Freddy?

For guidance.

And do you feel like you have received that guidance?

I don't know, I don't know.

He is listening. I prayed to him when I lost my brother. And my prayers were answered.

Because now I've got you. You are praying for your loss, for that which was taken from you. And here I am, right by your side. For we are now brothers. And together, [places hand on Freddy's shoulder] we'll make sure we get back what's rightfully yours.

[to Eddie looking over pastures] Oh, this is a beautiful spot. Really peaceful.

You're spoiling the moment. Again.

Morning, Susan.

Captain. Been taking a look at your projections. I didn't realize mɑrіjսɑnɑ was the second-most valuable crop in the United States.

Mm. Other than soybeans. Americans do love a soybean.

Reckon there's a political will to push it through?

Decriminalization is a win-win. Not only do you reduce crime, relieving pressure on the police and freeing up space in the prisons for those naughty little criminals, you also bring in additional tax revenue worth billions a year. Consumers will be able to choose between expensive legal weed that they buy in a shop and inexpensive illegal weed they buy on the street.

You're confident decriminalization wouldn't have a negative impact on the pre-existing market that's provided both bread and butter to my family for the last generation?

The only difference is, instead of one line on the graph, there are now two big, fat ones.

The prospect of doing this without my father's permission leaves me with a sense of trepidation. He may look like Father Christmas, but if you end up on his naughty list, a lump of coal at the bottom of your stocking is gonna be the least of your worries.

The bill's gonna go through, whether he likes it or not. If we get in now, we can use our position to take advantage. We wait, and we get left behind.

Hm.

Can I count on your support?

[answers phone] You all right, Jimmy?

Sorry to interrupt you, boss. I think we've got a bit of a problem down at the farm. Only it's a bit delicate. Maybe even politically motivated.

What sort of problem, Jimmy?

They call it a go-slow. It's a strike aimed at reducing productivity by moving at half the speed.

Bobby Glass

So what’s these whispers I’m hearing?

What whispers?

Bobby Glass

Rumors from the firmament. Things that I’m not being told. Things that I’m hearing secondhand.

You’ll have to be more specific, Dad. Joe Green. [Susie scoffs] He’s a fucking wrong’un.

I bumped into him when we were buying the Botticelli. I’ve not seen him in years.

Bobby Glass

That’s because he’s in the chop game. And that’s something we don’t wanna be fucking involved in.

Fucking hell. Spare me the speech. I’ve heard it more than I care to remember.

Bobby Glass

All right, all right. Look, I know you and Joe go back a long way. All right? And I don’t mind you saying hello to him. You know, “Hello, Joe. You want a cup of tea and a sticky bun?” But if he starts offering you a kilo of packet, that’s fucking something different. There needs to be a strict delineation.

I hear you loud and clear, Dad.
