Speaker A
There. There it is. That's the bit I love. Sweat is the only honest liquid in a man.
Speaker A
Sit up straight, Judy. My name is Lucy. On that stool, it's Judy. Three questions. First one polite.
Speaker A
Second one loud. It doesn't usually get to the third. Where's the key? [sighs] 3 weeks ago in this city, nobody saw me.
Speaker A
We can give it back. They've already found us. Then we give it back and [music] leave.
Speaker A
Both of us. Promise me. Both of us. What's in the locker? Punch's payment book. The money is mine.
Speaker A
Punch forgets that. Deal with him yourself. He won't let me near him. My man will be in the yard.
Speaker A
James walks out alive. Loudly. WHO SENT YOU? [panting] [snorts] You just cut off his call.
Speaker A
Is he replacing you? 40 minutes ago you killed your brother. [music] This jar's been here since '74.
Speaker A
And you still eat out of it? [snorts] What? You were looking at me. Even when he fell.
Speaker A
I saw you. Third question's mine. What's his name? Do it, girl. Do you know what I'll become?
Speaker A
I do. So, the blazer. What? It won't fit your shoulders. Let's go. They find us at Daisy.
Speaker A
Louis, you promised. Good evening, Mr. Punch. [music]
