Quotes

Manny: Did you win or lose?
Bernard: It's hard to say...
Manny: Alright. Have you got more money or less money?
Bernard: That's complicated...
Manny: You got no money?
Bernard: ... Yeah. (edit)
Bernard: Now! All I need is some kind of system.
Manny: There's only one system. Bet. Lose. Borrow. Steal. Lose. Take the drugs. Lose. Prison... Death. (edit)
Bernard: Is this what you spend your pocket money on? Filthy gambling?!
Manny: It's not really gambling Bernard. It's the Grand National. It's a moment when the whole nation comes together. Like the opening of a Richard Curtis movie or a... manhunt for a serial killer. (edit)
Customer: Hey mister! Do you have anything on armories, weaponry, that kind of thing?
Bernard: Military history is on your right.
Customer: I don't want your little history guano. I want modern warfare. Infrared. Fallout. Kill zones.
Bernard: Military history is on your right. If you need any help, just fire a couple of rounds into the ceiling! (edit)
Fran: I bet you... 20 quid, I'm so hopeless i never get another job ever.
Bernard: I'll give you a job! You start tomorrow. HA HA HA! (edit)
