The Duel

Peaky Blinders 4×5

Luca: But remember... I fire the final shot!

Lizzie: Yes, it can only be yours... That day by the canal when you were fucking somebody else in your head. Except it wasn't her who got pregnant.

Tommy: All this death, Lizzie. Fuck, let's have some life, eh?

Polly: They don't even know where they'll be tomorrow. They follow the Patrin and the crows.

Polly: Tommy says it won't be long. Then we'll be free.

Polly: You might learn something... Tell them your grandmother was a Gypsy princess, name of Birdie Boswell! You're royalty up there, Michael.

Aberama: Your family were healers?
Polly: Yeah, a long time ago... Came back when I put my head in the noose. It's like putting your head through a window and seeing the whole world.

Polly: When you've put your head out of that window you can do anything you want, cos there are no rules... cos there are no risks.

Alfie: That's it. I'll tell you what, right? Here's a gift, it's free - a souvenir of your visit here. Goodbye, trot on. Down there is Bonnie Street.

Alfie: But also I want some cash... bung work. That's why I've broken it down here - a list of costs pertaining to the assassination of a dear friend, all right? Now, a normal dispatch, well, it's, you know, £500 cost. But you're going to have to add another 100 to that because Tommy Shelby, like me, is from an oppressed people, and I need you to put another tonne on top of that because his brother is a fucking animal and he will come after me. And then you will need to put another 100 on top of that because, well, you are a fucking wop, mate, hmmm? And you... And then we've got to deal with the ugly business, which I've been incredibly clear of before. I will need another £500, because, like I stated, Tommy Shelby is a very, very good friend of mine.

Alfie: Well, in order to qualify as my seconds they would first have to qualify as being Jewish. Yeah? And in order to do that, they would have to replace their natural Italian fucking arrogance with a Jewish air of absolute certainty.

Luca: These days, back in the old country, a lot of the, er, you know, the Jewish people, they, er... they are having to pass themselves off as Italian.
Alfie: Right, well, you will have to add another tonne on to your bill for being a cunt, mate. All right?

Luca: You will bring my men to Birmingham?
Alfie: And you will circumcise them. You will have to circumcise them because the Peakys will check. Yeah?

Alfie: Aye, you've just made a deal without negotiation, didn't you?... Yeah, Tommy Shelby was right about you, weren't he?

Ada: Your men watched.
Colonel Younger: Then they will be reprimanded.
Ada: They won't see Saturday.
Colonel Younger: A naked woman, alone, making threats against the entire British Army - a significant indicator of character...

Ada: I'm no longer a member of the Communist Party because I'm no longer a believer in the cause of socialism.
Colonel Younger: So, in the past, you were blinded by love...
Ada: No, blinded by faith. I believed people deserve justice. They don't.

Ada: And how is Tommy Shelby OBE going to stop a revolution?

Tommy: The British Army came to me, Ada. I said, "Why not?"
Ada: They'll put that on your grave, Tom... 'Tommy Shelby - "Why not?"'

Tommy: Jessie, this is my Uncle Charlie and my... whatever Curly is.

Tommy: I want an opinion. Try it...
Jessie Eden: I don't really drink gin.
Tommy: Then you're perfect. My gin is for women that don't really drink gin.
Jessie Eden: Your gin?

Tommy: Let's drink to something. You choose.
Jessie Eden: To the revolution.
Tommy: Why not?

Jessie Eden: What do you want to know about the cause?
Tommy: I'm approaching the current political crisis as I would approach a horse race... assessing the runners and the riders. Now, the favourite is, of course, the King's horse. But the King's horse was also the favorite in 1913, when Emily Davison threw herself in front of it.
Jessie Eden: You know the names of suffragettes. I'm impressed.
Tommy: Everyone laughed at them at first, but now look - women with serious faces everywhere.

Tommy: And then the other horse, the one who wants to beat the King's horse... Let's call her Dangerous, shall we? she's no form. That's what makes her so dangerous.
Jessie Eden: Russia. Isn't that form?
Tommy: No, the Russians aren't like the English. We're beer, they're petrol.
