RocknRolla

Рок-н-рольщик (2008)

* People ask a question. What's a RocknRolla? And I tell them it's not about drums, drugs and hospital drips. Oh, no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life. Some, the money. Some, the drugs. Others the sex game, the glamour or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot.
   My name's Archy, formerly known as Archibald.


* Uri Omovich: Tell me, what do you do for fun?
   Stella: ...
   Uri Omovich: Have I offended you in some way?
   Stella: As you said, I'm a professional, you're my employer. So as long as it stays that way, why would I be offended?
   Uri Omovich: You see, Victor? This is what I am talking about. This is what I like about this country. They understand hierarchy.

* Councillor: ... What does she mean by that?
   Archy: What would you like her to mean by that, Councillor?

* Mr. One Two: Put the bags in the car, walk away and keep smiling.
   — Sorry, is this a robbery?
   Mr. One Two: Yes, it is a robbery. Now, fuck off. Thank you.

* Archy: Slow down, Tinkerbell. You'll never sing the same if your teeth ain't your own.

* Lenny Cole: Something wrong with these immigrants. I don't trust them. I think we're being set up. I don't know how, but something is wrong. I can smell it with my sniffer. {...}

* Johnny Quid (real RocknRolla): You see that pack of Virginia killing sticks on the end of the piano?
   Pete: Yes.
   Johnny Quid: All you need to know about life is retained within those four walls. You will notice that one of your personalities is seduced by the illusions of grandeur. A gold packet of king size with a regal insignia. An attractive implication toward glamour and wealth. A subtle suggestion that cigarettes are indeed your royal and loyal friends. And that, Pete, is a lie. Your other personality is trying to draw your attention to the flip side of the discussion. Written in boring, bold, black and white, is the statement that these neat little soldiers of death, are, in fact, trying to kill you. And that, Pete, is the truth.
   Oh, beauty is a beguiling call to death and I'm addicted to the sweet pitch of its siren. That that starts sweet ends bitter. And that which starts bitter ends sweet. That is why you and I love the drugs...

* Handsome Bob: Who the fuck is Sidney Shaw?
   Mr. One Two: No, Sidney Shaw is a pseudonym, you idiot. They never use their real name.
   Mumbles: Where did he learn a word like pseudonym?

* Johnny Quid: Don't worry, he can't defend himself, he's got no head.

* Archy: There is no spring without a winter. No life without death. And the demise of Lenny has blown a new season into the lungs of young Johnny.

* Johnny Quid: Now I'm gonna be a real RocknRolla.
