Lenny Cole
- Roman: Uh, can we help you?
- Lenny Cole: You've got an act called "The Quid Lickers".
- Roman: We did, yeah.
- Lenny Cole: Hmm... And there's a singer called "Johnny Quid".
- Roman: There was.
- Lenny Cole: Well, I'd like to see Mr. Quid.
- Roman: I'd like to see him too, but uh that's gonna be a little tricky because according to the papers, the only songs Mr. Quid's gonna be singing are hymns
- Lenny Cole: And I shed a tear. I shed a tear for all those bone-tops that read the papers and believe that shit. But did you see his body? Did you see him smacked-up and cracked-up with his tongue on his chin and his cock in his hand, swinging from the rafters like a real RocknRolla? No, you didn't, did you? And nobody else fucking did either, did they? Because he ain't dead. He's alive, alive-o somewhere selling cockles and mussels and a very important painting that doesn't belong to him.
- Bandy: [pushing Lenny's wheelchair] Do you want to take the elevator or the stairs, Mr Cole?
- Lenny Cole: Bandy, come here... you been drinking?
- Bandy: No, Mr Cole.
- [Lenny slaps him]
- Lenny Cole: Think, before you drink, before you drive me mad!
- [Lenny slaps a young Johnny]
- Lenny Cole: Now listen to me, boy. Listen! I never did like you and neither did your real dad. You're a reject, a wrong, and a fuckin' fairy in the mirror that I inherited from your mom. But she ain't with us no more, so now it's just you and me. In one week you're going back to school - the most expensive fuckin' school in the country, I might add - then you'll be gone for another term. In the meantime, show some gratitude and keep the fuckin' music down!
- [leaves. Johnny puts the music back on and sings along with it, so Lenny returns and undoes his belt]
- [informing on his mates]
- Sidney Shaw: One-Two: just a two-stretch to calm the flash fucker down.
- Sidney Shaw: Mumbles thinks he's a clever boy, so give him a three.
- Sidney Shaw: Archie: he's as loyal as a dog, but he's getting a bit greedy. Four years.
- [after getting the property deeds from One-Two and Mumbles]
- Lenny Cole: What's wrong with you, Archie?
- Archie: Is that not a bit strong, Lenny? I mean, they come from the same place as you, you're gonna clean them out.
- Lenny Cole: The same place as me? Do I look like a fucking immigrant? No one gave ME a leg up! They need a little bit of fear, otherwise they'll come up against me. They need a little lesson, don't they?
- Archie: [narrates] And that is an example of how Lenny works.
- Lenny Cole: Look, you go see if you can find them two flash idiots that used to be his manager. What are they called, uh, Greek and Minnie.
- Archie: Roman and Mickey.
- Lenny Cole: Yeah, whatever.
- Lenny Cole: I thought you lot drink vodka.
- Uri: Whisky is the new vodka.
- Lenny Cole: You're not joining me?
- Uri: I don't drink.
- Lenny Cole: [pauses before drinking] ... Cheers.
- Uri: Cheers.
