Quotes
-
[the Wheelman is driving the getaway car after the robbery and hears on the police radio that the police are getting very close]
The Wheelman : I used to live round here. Hold tight.
[he swerves onto a farm track, through some greenhouses and heads towards a fence]
Guv'nor : [shouts] That's a bloody fence! Christ! Where are we going? You stupid... Where are we going now?
The Wheelman : [calmly] We can cut through round here, back onto the estate.
Donkey : [shouts] There's no road. Where is it? There's no road!
[the Wheelman sees two garages with a narrow gap between them]
The Wheelman : Shit! These weren't here last year.
Donkey : [ironically] No? Well they're here now!
Guv'nor : [shouts] Where are you going, Richie?
The Wheelman : Trying to get us out of here.
Guv'nor : [shouts] It won't work!
[the Wheelman tries to get through the gap, but the car jams, so he reverses and tries again, repeatedly]
The Peterman : Can we get out!
The Wheelman : That's what I'm trying to do.
The Peterman : No, get out and walk.
Donkey : [explains, as if to an idiot] Look, you don't understand the basic laws of physics. The hole is too small.
[after many attempts, the Wheelman manages to get the car through the gap]
Guv'nor : Have you *any* idea where you're going?
[after narrowly escaping being crushed by an oncoming coach as they overtake a lorry, they arrive at some waste ground]
The Wheelman : [apologetically] Sorry about the last bit, Guv. Bit untoward.
Guv'nor : Don't worry, Richie. Anyone else would still be modifying greenhouses. Be lucky, son.
[the Wheelman walks away and the rest of the gang get into a van]
Guv'nor : Come on! Let's get this bloody show on the road!
The Peterman : What about the driver?
Guv'nor : He's parking the Jag.
