Be Good or Be Gone

Ste?

You serious?

I'm looking to make a good impression Weed.

Haven't seen them in ages.

It's just... I mean.

What? What the fuck's wrong with me?

I didn't say there was anything wrong with your threads man.

Yeah, well

just fancy keepin' me snout clean and stayin' outta this kip for good.

One more year in here

then I'm gone.

Not you, nor that prick Braler, is gonna change that.

Fair enough.

Have me own plans too ya know.

Yeah... what's that?

Can't be saying that out loud in here.

Have to keep that close to me chest.

Here.

Hope you haven't left any little surprises in here for the screws?

Nah man, got rid o' all me works.

Nothing in here now.

Good.

And I hope you've no little surprises on ya either?

There's a thing.

Smuggling drugs out of prison?

Wonder if anyone's ever done that before?

Prisoner 1701.

Prisoner 1864.

Your request for "temporary release"

has been granted.

You have four days leave.

Oh lads.

Be good.

See you in a few days, girls.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Seven fuckin' whoros man!

There's at least three quids worth of foam,

steam and air.

They're charging us for the fucking air, man. Jaysus!

You're paying for the ambience bud.

What's that?

Posh word for 'Bollockology'.

Oh.

Right.

Watch that.

Wish me luck.

Ah sure you don't need it. Sure look at you.

You're tall, half decent looking,

you know loads of big words. You'll be alright.

I wish I was as sure about anything, as you are about everything.

All about attitude, isn't it?

That wasn't a compliment.

What was it?

An observation.

Don't be ages.

A jiffy.

Sorry love, how much is that?

Ah my Ellie Mae. Come here to me.

Hi Ellie Mae. Oh, I've missed you so much sweetheart.

- Hiya Da! - Howaya?

Ah look how grown up you're getting!

Are you coming back Da?

Yeah, yeah

'course I am, real soon.

Here, look what I brought you.

His names Wally.

Wally's gorgeous Da! Thanks a million!

Ah you're welcome sweetheart.

Ellie! Who is it?

Back in and finish your tea Ellie Mae there's a good girl.

Bye Da.

See you baby.

When'd you get out?

This morning.

Is she in?

She moved out a month and a half ago.

Moved out?

She never said.

Everything okay?

Fine. Yeah.

No it's just... I haven't heard from her in a bit.

Was just a bit worried something might be up.

Look... I don't want to interfere you know.

I'll tell her you called ok?

You're looking great.

What are you doing here Ste?

Ahh, they gave me a few days off.

Said I was working too hard.

Look

can we go somewhere? Talk?

I've got work.

I know Dee

it's important.

Give me a few minutes, yeah?

So what's been going on?

I've hardly seen you last few months.

Where's the Weed fella?

he's not with you?

Don't tell me

out mooching for one final score I suppose, yeah?

He has been trying you know.

I mean... really trying.

What? To drag you down?

I'm all he's got Dee, you know.

Give me the family bullshit routine, one more time, and I swear

I'll walk out that door Ste

I can't do this anymore.

But, once I get out things are gonna be different,

- No. - no listen to me.

No! I've heard it all before.

It's time we moved on.

Moved on? What are you talking about moving on

what's that supposed to mean?

It means It's time we start thinking about Ellie Mae now.

You know what she means to me.

She needs someone who'll be there for her Ste.

Not some deadbeat Da who goes

running, every time his lackies come calling.

It won't be like that.

I told you.

Things will be different from now on.

That's right.

Because It won't be me dealing with the fallout next time.

You know, you swore you'd always be there for me

and now you're doing this?

I have to go

Look, Dee.

Look,

I'll make things right.

For the three of us.

I will I swear, I promise, I'll make things right.

I'm sorry.

Dee.

What was that?

What?

That. In your bag.

Ah nothing!

How'd it go?

It didn't.

Ah.

Here,

I just had one of me great notions.

You know that Julian fella up from Nan's?

Yeah. What about him?

He told me one time, he has four lovely big grass plants

growing in his back garden.

That's that fucked so.

- Why? - You don't go telling the world do you.

He didn't, just me.

Same thing innit?

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, be a crime not to.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, come on... come on!

Home sweet home what.

This place hasn't changed.

Can't say the same for us.

I wore my first pair of Blackthorn's that day.

Got them on the HP she did.

Yeah.

Broke her bollocks paying for them too.

Never asked for anything our nan.

Anything she had, she gave away.

You helped her out on that score didn't ya.

Whose your woman?

Jaysus.

She's knees like a pair of scrotums.

Never mind that.

Look what she's wearing.

It's a dress.

You're so ignorable, d'ya know that?

Ignorant.

As well.

Listen.

That's not a dress.

So much more.

Not too... girly-girly.

It's got that funky-nautical look.

Riviera inspired.

Which is bang on trend for the new season.

Sensational with that mock-croc, bumbag

so 70's cloggy wedge.

Only 380 euros in Gobdaws of Grafton Street.

You're that thick, you'll think you're robbing us.

What do you think?

Think?

I think I didn't understand a word you said.

It's not even in English!

Look, say what you like.

That's me future.

That's what I'm gonna get into.

A dress?

Fuck off. You know what I mean.

I'm gonna do that.

As me trade.

- Fashion? - Fashion! Exactly yeah!

Fashions not a trade man.

What is it?
