XXXX

  • "Always remember that one day all this drug monkey business will be legal. They won't leave it to people like me... not when they finally figure out how much money is to be made - not millions, fucking billions. Recreational drugs PLC - giving the people what they want... Good times today, Stupor tomorrow. But this is now, so until prohibition ends make hay whilst the sun shines."


  • "The art of good business is being a good middleman."
  • "I'm not a gangster, just a businessman. And my commodity happens to be cocaine."-

Eddie Temple

  • "You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son."
  • "England. Typical. Even drug dealers don't work weekends"

XXXX: [over the phone] "Dragan?"

Dragan: "Yes."

XXXX: "I've got an idea... Why don't you come 'round for breakfast? I'll squeeze some orange juice and grind some coffee and we can talk about this like adults. How's that sound?"

Dragan: "Sounds very hospitable."

XXXX: "Do you know where I live?"

Dragan: "No."

XXXX: "Well, fuck off then."


Gene: [to XXXX] "This what being a gangster gets you. You're not in there 'cause I like you."

Morty: "I'm beginning to feel left out."

Gene: "Why? I seem to recall a friend of yours in intensive care after your little... reunion."


XXXX: "That's a very expansive question."

Jimmy Price: "Expansive?" [laughs]

Jimmy Price: "Tell me son, are you a homosexual? The day was when only homosexual's used words like "expansive"."


Jimmy Price: "Details, details. Things to do. Things to get done. Don't bother me with details, just tell me when they're done. Who said that, son?"

XXXX': "Winston Churchill?"

Jimmy Price: "Close. No, I said it. James Lionel Price".
