ERIC CURTIS drains wine into DUNBAR's glass over
the remains of dinner.
ERIC
CURTIS
We'll draw up a contract in the morning.
You drive a hard bargain.
DUNBAR
I think I'm offering value.
ERIC
CURTIS
I can afford it at the moment. Business
is doing well. There's money in the North these
days you know.
DUNBAR
Price of tripe's going through the
roof.
ERIC
CURTIS
Lot of my trade's in cash. Don't
know what to do with it, carrying bundles about
in the boot of the car.
DUNBAR alert - narrows
his eyes.
DUNBAR
That's not wise.
ERIC
CURTIS
You're like me, you know how to get
by in life, cut a few corners here and there.
DUNBAR
(cuts in)
Don't let's confuse things eh?
ERIC
CURTIS
What do you mean?
DUNBAR
I just get the feeling you might
ask me to pop some of that cash in my firm's account.
ERIC
CURTIS
Two hundred grand actually.
DUNBAR
Nah, I'm sorry, I don't do that.
ERIC
CURTIS
What the fuck do you mean 'you don't
do that'.
DUNBAR
(lowers his voice)
Money laundering. I'm not interested.
ERIC
CURTIS
I'm only trying to help you out.
Chance to buy yourself a decent suit.
I play around with the Law but I
don't break it.
ERIC
CURTIS
You want some time to think about
this?
DUNBAR
No need. It's not for me.
ERIC
CURTIS
Aren't you? You ain't got a pot to
piss in. Look at you - you're the same age as me
and what have you made of yourself? Your poxy law
firm's going down the tubes.
DUNBAR
Least no one owns me.
ERIC
CURTIS
Who'd want to? You're clapped out.
Get the fuck out of here.
