Quotes 

• [Terry has fallen through into an underground vault while digging the tunnel to get into the bank] 

  Dave Shilling : What's down there?

  Terry Leather : It's a pile of skeletons.

  Dave Shilling : You're joking. Let's hope they're not the last gang who tried to take this bank.

  [robbers laugh] 

• Kevin Swain : We're not bank robbers.

  Terry Leather : Maybe that's why we could get away with it.

  Dave Shilling : It's a bit daunting, isn't it?

  Terry Leather : You know what scares me more? Living and dying with nothing to show for it. You know how old Mozart was when he composed his first minuet?

  Dave Shilling : No.

  Terry Leather : Five. Five! A fucking minuet!

  Kevin Swain : And how would you know that fact, Terry?

  Terry Leather : Because it's tattooed on that stripper's arse, Kevin. What the fuck's it matter how I know? It's a fact and you're missing the point, Kev. What I'm trying to say is, we stop fucking about and stop picking the shit from under our fingernails.

• Eddie Burton : [over radio]  All clear on the western front, Guy.

  Dave Shilling : [grabbing the radio from Guy]  No names, Eddie.

  Eddie Burton : [over radio]  Sorry, Dave.

• Lew Vogel : I've got a kidney stone, which can't seem to pass without painkillers.

  Dave Shilling : [bloodied]  I could use a couple of those meself.

• Dave Shilling : I don't know anything about a bank robbery. Honest.

  Lew Vogel : Still an unconvincing actor, Mr. Shilling.

• Dave Shilling : I've got a question. What do we do with all the dirt we gonna dig out of the hole?

  Kevin Swain : [facetiously]  It's all been worked out, Dave. We'll dig another hole in that corner over there and put it in that.

• Terry Leather : These people aren't regular cozzers, Martine. They're above that. They do things coppers can't. They think we've seen these photos, and we're expendable as dog shit.

  Dave Shilling : [hurriedly backing his gear]  Well I know when we are dog shit... or about to be dog shit

  [heads out] 

  Dave Shilling : ... and i'm not waiting around for a load of sp**ks and coppers to come busting our heads

• Kevin Swain : So what are these films you're in?

  Dave Shilling : Ah, forget about it.

  Kevin Swain : Go on.

  Dave Shilling : Technically, it's what you call pornography.

• Dave Shilling : [reading an old pair of underwear]  Never washed after our magic moment - Snookie.

• Dave Shilling : Be lucky!

  Dave Shilling : [being shown the black mail photos]  Hold on...

  [aghast] 

  Dave Shilling : ... That's Princess Margret

• [in the vault, Dave is going round to each robber collecting any cash that they have found in the safe deposit boxes] 

  Dave Shilling : Terry, anything for the Widows and Orphans Fund?

  [Terry holds out a wad of cash] 

  Terry Leather : Will that do?

  Dave Shilling : [fake Cockney accent]  Gawd bless yer, Guvnor. Very generous.
