INT.

THE THREE TUNS FOODHOUSE- (EVENING) - CLOSE UP

THE CAMERA PANS IN two men sit amongst the bustling scene within
the building, although we cannot make out what they are saying
initially, it soon becomes clear they are talking business of the
criminal kind. One man’s face is creased from years of stress and
disdain. His eyes and cheeks have folds and wrinkles older than
the second man's entire life. Shades of red and orange collide on
his face from the low hanging lights.

ANTONY
(With a raspy voice) First, you’ll begin with Lenny’s place, he’s
always getting away with something, as you know and talks too
much, talks too fast, so don’t let him get away with it again. We
give out loans not free-bee's and you're letting people forget
that, Rick.

Rick finishes his pint quickly

RICK
On it.

You’re not going to believe this-

Rick
(interrupting disappointedly) But a fish ate your money?
No, I’m not going to believe that.

Lenny

whole arm!

Rick
Hmmm...

Lenny
(Desperately) Well, are you going to help me?

Rick

Rick adjusts his fishing rod and throws out his line into the
dark green Thames.

I should have stayed home

The fishing rod gets tugged, and rick is thrown on the floor, he
battles for the fish and eventually brings the fish onto the
