We wait here as long as it takes. Got it. Fucks
sake. Don’t make me regret recommending you.
I stuck my neck out there and I don’t want you
to ever forget it. How you behave reflects on me
right? Your job is to sit with the car and keep the
engine running. Why? … Why what? Why can’t
we just go back to Bills? Let me give you a clue.
If we go back without the wee fucker then Bill will
ask questions of his own. I’d be happy to let you
take the lead there. You can explain to him while
he has his foot on your neck. No? Then we wait.
Every month. There’s one every month now.
I blame the fucking internet. Its turned every
wannabe into a dealer but it gives me a fucking
headache thinking about it. Its all about supply
and demand. If these wee fuckers flood the
market in Milltown with gear from all over then
we get competition. Everyone drops their prices
to compete with each other and that’s bad for
you and me. That’s why we have to introduce
a third element into the system. A traditional
element that has help carve out the men from
the boys since time immemorial. Fear. Fear and
intimidation. Thats why you and I are sat here
in this car outside the house of the latest stupid
fucker trying to muscle in on our market. Every
quarter he sells is money out of Bills pocket and
out of yours and mine … Its always the same …
first they get a bit and the next their friends are
whistling up at their window at 2 in the morning.
Most of them don’t have the stamina for it but,
for the ones that do, there’s two choices. Join the
club or get fucked.
Get the bundle out of the back will you … no
don’t do that face. At least don’t do that face in
front of Bill. He’ll see that and kick seven shades
out of you. You do what you’re asked and then
you’ll get the rewards. This one is special. Bills’
asked me to make an example of this one to
send a message. A message to the others. We
don’t give this one any choices. Fair? Sit there are
shut the fuck up. Keep the engine running here
he comes now …
