John Kavanagh: Donkey

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.

    [shot of the Wheelman in a JCB, pushing the car down a bank into a lake to hide it]
