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
On it.
LENNY
(From his window) Rick!
Good to see you again mate!
Rick
Hello... Lenny
Lenny
Here for a drink or...
SHOT OF LENNY’S FACE Lenny suspects his time to pay has come but
remains relaxed and friendly
Rick
Yes, a drink, so buzz me in (sternly)
Lenny
Erm, right!
The room is cluttered with fines and bottles. Both Lenny and Rick
acknowledge the mess with a by looking around and shrug in sync.
Rick
So?
Lenny
(Quickly) So how have you been I-
Rick
(Interrupting) No, Lenny, money...now.
Lenny
Yeah well, I think you’ll find this interesting, so, you’ll get
the money, just maybe not how you want, I’ll show you tomorrow.
Oh, and bring a fishing rod.
Lenny
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
No, no it’s true I swear! It’s a monster, nearly took off my
whole arm!
Rick
Hmmm...
Lenny
(Desperately) Well, are you going to help me?
Rick
(Reluctantly) Fine.
Rick adjusts his fishing rod and throws out his line into the
dark green Thames.
Rick
So, this is going to be a while, right?
Lenny
(Scared) Not this fish this one's out to catch you!
Rick
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
bank.
Rick
Yes!
Lenny
(Laughs)
Rick
So, this was the fish?
Lenny
Yes?
Rick
Because to me this looks a lot more like a shark.
Antony
What the hell is this?
Rick
Baby shark full of debt money
Antony
(Angrily) How did this even get to Henley?
Rick
(Quickly)Don’t know, Wallets in its belly, I quit.
Antony
Good.
