'Oh, wait a minute...'

JUDGE: The charges are as follows:

Funding a terrorist organisation,

possession of biological weapons, blackmail,

possession of child pornography with the intent to distribute,

possession of... COMMOTION

Order, order! Silence in court!

Oh, actually, here's the kitchen. Every Friday, we have...

I don't have time to waste, I got a four o'clock with my waxer.

I don't really give a shit where you heat up your noodles.

If I wanted to see you wear jeans, I'd go to your shitty house.

Look, I don't really know what it is that you do here,

nor do I give a shit. OK...

Point is, Global National bought this company,

and they spent a lot of money, so here's what we're gonna do.

I was recently in London. You know what they go

fucking shithouse for over there? Madonna?

Energy drinks. Can't get enough of it.

It's like fucking crack to these people. Really?

Who gives a shit? The point is, Global National

took a majority stake in Thunder Muscle energy drinks,

and I wanna tap into that UK market.

That's actually not what we do here...

I'm gonna need one of you over there, pronto.

Head this thing up. Preferably not a woman.

I want somebody with some fucking balls.

Look here, asshole! No, no, no!

You need me more than I need you!

Let's get that clear!

Listen to me, you silly little prick!

I make one phone call,

and I'll have you sellin' rotten bananas

in a Kazakhstan bus depot,

right across the way from Kazakhstan's

best fuckin' banana sales...

I can't do this. RECORDING: 'Repeat after me,

'those Kazakhs will tear you a new pussy and asshole.'

What am I doing? 'I love this fucking guy.'

Todd Margaret, he's a temp. He has no experience...

Bullshit. He's perfect! Hey, you wanted to see me?

Hey, there he is. Todd, Brent Wilts, Global National.

Just bought the company. Boy, do I have a proposition for you.

Mr Wilts, I... Shut up, fucktard! How would you like to go to London

and head up a satellite office there?

Sell energy drinks to the UK!

Here's the deal, I'll set you up with an office,

an apartment, a credit card, all that shit.

I can start you at 120 grand. ¤120,000?

Wait a second, Mr... Why the fuck are you talking?

120k, that's just to start.

We can talk about more based on performance. Yeah.

Are you familiar with the UK market, with their culture,

stuff like that? Oh, me? Me? Todd Margaret?

Absolutely. I know it really well. I mean,

it's one of those things where, you know, I probably have, um...

Actually, my dad is from Leeds, which is England,

so I would spend summers there. That's not true.

Great. So, maybe your dad can help us out with the...

Well, he's dead, so that won't happen.

When did he pass away? Well, a week ago,

give or take a day. So, you're gonna bury him...

Hey, fuckhead, he said it was OK. Shut your fucking talk hole!

So, what? You gotta bury the body, or...

Well, I mean, we lucked out,

and he was skydiving over the ocean, so that took care of it for us.

Mr Wilts, if I can say... Hey, asshole,

I make one call to your boss, and you're gonna sell shitberries

in an Uzbek bus station. Nice, right?

I learned that one from you, guy.

Bang it out. I'm serious. You are fired.

Get the fuck outta here. Please don't speak...

That's unnecessary. You are fucking fired!

Get the fuck out... Jesus!

Todd Margaret, congrats, buddy. You are on your way to London.

Wow! Wait...

You don't have family, no wife or kids?

No pets, girlfriend, shit like that that I gotta worry about?

I need total commitment here. I got nothin'.

Look, I know this is sudden, but I got this amazing job offer

to go to London and head up this office there.

But here's the thing, I gotta leave tomorrow.

This isn't breaking up, OK? Oh, Todd.

Please, let me do this. Todd...

Well, it's too good to pass up.

Todd, two weeks ago, I made the mistake of sleeping with you.

That mistake doesn't make me your girlfriend.

DOOR BUZZER Oh, man, come on.

You gotta go out the window. My date's here.

I don't want him to see you.

There's a tree over there. Yeah, I know. You can grab it.

What about my cat? MUFFLED: Motherfuck!

THUD

CAR HORN HONKS I'll be right down!

OK, Fanny, listen to me.

I gotta go, but I'll be back in about a month.

Whoa... jeez! I put 30 cans of tuna in here.

Here is a month's supply of water. I made you some steps, all right?

Now, you be a good girl

and don't eat it all at once, all right?

Love you. Bye.

SONG: 'Life Is Sweet' by Johnny Marr

# Life is short

# And the days are long

# Gotta get right back

# But I don't belong

# Life is sweet

# It's a good thing it's gone

# I know what I mean

# Without reservation

# Can't control myself

# Anticipation... # Coffee.

I don't mind doing it. Really, do you want me to...

Hey, can I leave this outside? Is it safe?

Yeah, I think so.

Alice, can I have some jam? Jesus, Mary, more jam?

More jam.

Can I get a cup of coffee to go?

Yeah. I'm just gonna get this lid off,

and then I'll get it for you.

It's really tight, actually. It's...

tighter than a ladybird's twat.

Oh, yeah, give it to me. I'll... I'm a man, and I will open the jar.

That's great, thanks. Madam, your jam.

HE STRAINS

God! I'm just gonna open another...

Here we go... Heat, the enemy of tightness.

Oh, God, no. Don't, don't...

That's dangerous. Don't do that. Then two taps.

And now, I think we'll have an open jar of jam.

No, don't do that! Ow!

You're gonna burn your... Oh! Look!

HE GROANS

So, you just gotta remember to replace the bandage

and put some of this on. Ow!

But not too much, or you'll start hallucinating.

What is this?

Oh, it's just something I whipped up in the lab.

It's a cardamom-infused mint arrowroot antiseptic

and anti-inflammatory, but there's...

there's notes of South African vanilla bean in there, so it's...

it's good. Tastes good on scones.

Wait, wait, I'm sorry, a lab? I don't understand.

Yeah, well, I'm really into molecular gastronomy.

It's, um... I suppose you could say it's my passion.

It's my raison d'etre. Oh, I love raisins.

You know they're really just dried-up grapes? True story.

No, raison d'etre. It's French.

It's, like, my reason for living.

Oh, OK. Yeah.

I like to experiment with all kinds of cuisine.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Heston Blumenthal,

he's like a god to me. He's so creative.

He's the best.

Seriously, if you haven't eaten in his restaurant,

I don't even wanna talk to you. Oh, well, talk away, lady,

cos I've eaten there plenty. Have you?

God, it's so hard to get a table there.

Well, you know, I just grab a to-go.

SHE LAUGHS

So, what's your favourite dish of his?

Favourite one? Oh... I love his chicken.

His helium-infused chicken balloons?

Yeah. Aren't they...

I can't even describe them. They are...

Oh! Oh! What else?

Uh... Lasagne. It's really good.

What... What does he do with lasagne?

Uh... Huge portions. Genius.

All right, Alice. Well, I should head over to the office,

introduce myself to the team. All right...

Yes. Yeah.

So, off I go. Pleased to meet you.

Pleased to meet you.

And here is a gentleman's kiss

for a true princess of the kitchen...

Oh, that's nice of you to say. ..and science.

Thank you for those. OK, well...

Welcome to England. Oh, thank you. Thanks for having me.

SIRENS

Hey, hey! What the hell? Sir, sir, sir, sir, sir,

step back inside, please. OK. Sir, would you step back inside?

That's OK... Step back inside.

What's going on?

It's almost certainly nothing, but we have found a suspect package,

and we are gonna blow it up. No, no. Blow it up?

Ready in five. Ready in five. That's my luggage...

Really pisses me off. Waste of police time.

Waste of police money. I mean, for what?

Cos one guy doesn't use his common sense.

Ready, go in four, four, four. No, no, no, no, no, no...

Sir? Officer, Officer...

It's probably just some confused, but nice, man's luggage.

You know, filled with nothin' but, you know, clothes

and asthma medicine and a laptop, you know?

You might wanna put your fingers in your ears.

Just with all my information...

BOOM Oh!

You see that?

That's why we're the best. Best in the world.

I'm coming out. HONKING, CAR ALARMS

# Things are gonna get worse... #

HE BREATHES DEEPLY

Hello, everyone, I'm Todd Margaret.

Sorry, I was looking for Dynamic Integrated Business Solutions.

This is Dynamic Integrated Business Solutions.

Oh...

What happened to everybody? Are you it?

I was sent down here by the head office...

A guy named Willis? Brent Wilts?

Bang. That's it. Oh, OK. Yeah, yeah.

Hello!

I'm the new boss.

Name's Todd Margaret. Ah, what's your name?

Dave. What happened to your hand?

Oh. Strawberry jam. Right.

OK, Dave. Yeah?

Yeah. OK. Well, um...

I guess I'll get settled into my office.

Sure. It's just that one, down there.

I'll let you get back to what you were doin'.

Brilliant. OK.

Wha...

Dave! Yes?

I'm gonna leave the door open, if you need me.

Got it.

Todd Margaret? Yes, what?

There's a delivery of Thunder Muscle here for you.

Good.

So, what is Thunder Muscle, anyway?

Well, Dave, I'll tell ya.

Thunder Muscle...

..is an awesome new energy drink.

You people go shithouse for 'em, huh?

Oh, not really. What's in it?

Well, Thunder Muscle contains, well, I don't read Korean,

but it's, you know, energy... and probably guarana berries,

things of that nature...

How are you planning to sell all this shit?

No, Dave. How are WE planning to sell all this shit?

I don't wanna tip my hand,

but I'm lookin' for a new director of strategy.

I've been back there. I've had my eye on you,

and I think you might be my man.

Don't really think I'm qualified. Ba-ba-da-ba-yeah.

I didn't get to be top salesman by being a poor judge of character.

Tell me a little bit about yourself. OK. Ah...

Well, name's Dave. OK, good. Good start.

You're forthcoming with your name. What else you got?

I'm a real go-getter. Boom! That's what I'm lookin' for!

I think I found my new director of strategy. Cool.

Now, we have a lot of Thunder Muscle to sell,

and I know where I would take me to sell it, but I'm curious.

Where would my new DOS take me?

Oh, no, no, no. I asked for coffee. I'm jet-lagged.

Ah, no. Barman said no. Hey, boss, I've got a question.

How did you come to land this gig?

You know, I'm sittin' at the office, mindin' my own.

Wilts come in. He wants the top salesman, right?

Somebody to come over here.

Somebody who knows the UK, you know? And you know the UK?

Yeah. You know, what's to know, really? That's what you said to him?

No, no, no. I told him... I told him I grew up in Leeds,

cos I did grow up in Leeds, if anybody asks.

Yes.

You grew up in Leeds? Mm-hm. I didn't grow up, per se.

No, I should clarify that.

My... My dad lives in Leeds.

Lived in Leeds. He's dead. My dad lived in Leeds,

and I would spend my summers with him.

So, what would you get up to? Excuse me?

What would you get up to in Leeds? Hm?

With your dad? Well, you know...

Every Saturday, you know, we'd grab some fish and chips...

Yeah. ..head to the park,

watch The Who, you know, stuff...

Every Saturday, you'd watch The Who?

Yeah. Right.

The band The Who. Yeah, I'm aware of them, yeah.

"Live at Leeds", that's why they named the album that.

Yeah. Listen, this Thunder Muscle is not gonna sell itself, you know?

Yeah. We're here to sell Thunder Muscle.

Oh, why don't you try him?

A challenge! All right.

Hey there, sport. How ya doin'?

You look like a man who could use a little get up and go.

Piss off. All right.

Hey. Hey. I've spent some time in Leeds.

I had a girlfriend that went to uni up there.

Oh, great. Yeah, I bet...

I bet a lot's changed since I was there. No. Probably not.

Well, you never know. Well, I do know.

So, whereabouts in Leeds did you live?

It was, you know, that main street.

No. The main street, big street,

goes right through town. What was it called?

Fifth Avenue. Fifth?

I don't believe there is a Fifth Avenue.

No, no, no, the street...

No. The street's not named Fifth Avenue, Dave.

No, I meant the Fifth Avenue, counting outwards

from the main street. Oh, yes. OK. So, that would be...

Ch-Ch-Church Avenue. BOTH: Church Avenue!

Yes, that was it. Church Avenue. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Lovely around there. Yeah, it's nice.

Beautiful church right on it. Yeah.

So, what number did you live on in Church Avenue?

2150. Two thousand, one hundred and fifty?

Church Avenue. That's too long.

We don't really have long avenues over here.

Dave, I'm sorry. I said 21 and 50. It just, like,

ran it together, cos I'm American.

So you had two houses? Yes.

On the same street? Yeah.

My dad was bipolar, so...

Hey, you know what?

I think it's time to sell another can of Thunder Muscle, huh?

Yeah. Well, I mean, it'd be a can. Right.

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.

My name is Todd, and today is your lucky day.

Now is not a good time.

Hey, it's always a good time for a Thunder Muscle.

Thunder Muscle's a brand-new, exciting energy drink

that gives you energy, vitality, and tastes great doin' it.

And will it bring back my son?

If anything can lure your son back, it's the great...

OK. No. I... He's not...

..away. He's gone, gone.

He's...

..dead? I know. I'm sorry.

I just found out myself.

OK. I'll be over there.

So, Todd, obviously, having spent so much time in the UK,

I'm sure you can tell where I'm from, from my accent.

Oh, yeah. So, where am I from?

Oh, you know, probably around...

Hey, there's a Thunder Muscle couple, huh?

JACKHAMMERING

JACKHAMMER DROWNS SPEECH

No, no, no, no, I'm just saying...

THUD Oh!

Pervert.

If I ever see you again, I'll rip your balls off!

You all right, Todd?

You shouldn't have let me go over there, Dave.

They clearly weren't a Thunder Muscle couple.

It's your first verbal warning.

I don't understand. They're the ones who started the name calling.

That's not really what was happening.

As part Brit, you should know what we call cigarettes.

Oh, look, first voice message. BEEP

Hey, douchebag. It's Brent Wilts.

Listen, shitbucket, I'm gonna be in Lisbon for a boat show,

and I was thinkin' of poppin' over there

to see how my ace salesman's doing. Eh?

'I got 16,000 crates of that shit

'comin' to you by freighter from North Korea.

'And also, see if you can get me some blow, while I'm there.

'I wanna get stinky drunk and nuts-deep

'in some of that nasty British pussy.

'You know what? Fuck that. They got Russian whores there, right?

'Let's do that instead. English women always give me the shits.'

TODD GASPS

He's... wait... Si... 16,000 crates?

16,000. Oh, wait a minute.

Come on, I just got here. I mean, come on.

This is insane. I can't... what if...

HE HYPERVENTILATES I can't...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Come on. This isn't the Todd Margaret I know.

Now, let's think about this.

Here, get some Thunder Muscle down you. You're a bit pissed.

Now, calm down. Up to the lips. There we go.

There it is. Feel better? HE GLUGS

Now, where would a top dog, ace salesman like yourself

take me to sell this stuff?

Um...

Hey, Alice. What happened to you?

Oh, it's nothin'. You should see the other guy.

It was a lady. She's fine.

Uh, yeah, this is Dave. He works for me. Hello.

Hi. Alice, I'm wondering,

can I make a short, general announcement about the drinks?

Well, normally, I'd say no, but based on what happened earlier,

yeah, go on, what the hell? I could do with a laugh.

Nice. Come on, then, Todd. Show me how it's done.

Um, all right. Rule number one: Make everyone feel at home.

ENGLISH ACCENT: Hello, hello, hello, everyone.

If I could have a wee minute of a brief spot

tinkling of your time, please,

I'd like to introduce you to a brand-new energy drink

called Thunder Muscle.

Mmm! It's delicious, good for you, a great new way to get up and go.

Mmm! Mm-mm-mm! Mmm!

Mmm! I'll leave these here for your perusal.

Thank you very much. Wait, have another.

Can't have just one. Absolutely. Why not?

Oh, no, don't give him another one. Who can stop at one? Mmm!

HE GLUGS

Mmm! Ooh, that's good! You love it, don't ya?

Abso... Yeah. Show 'em how much you love it.

Oh, I love it so much. You're gonna love it, too.

It's like mother's milk, innit? Just mwah!

Mmm, mmm, mmm! Absolutely, Dave. Thank you very much.

Like the sweet milk of Mother Mary herself.

And I'm sure that when sweet baby Jesus was there,

sucking on her teat... Nom-nom.

Not... Nursing is what I mean, but, I mean, let's be honest.

Nursing is sucking. I mean, come on.

It's not a bad word. It's not dirty.

It's not dirty to suck a tit, you know?

HE GLUGS

Right. Here they are! Take a look at your leisure.

It'll be your pleasure and my measure.

Come on, show 'em the energy. No, don't show us the energy.

You can't go now. You gotta show 'em the energy.

Get your Thunder Muscle out. Absolutely! I am filled with energy.

That's the great thing about Thunder Muscle!

No, don't... Don't run, don't... Careful!

I'm runnin', I'm runnin' around! Todd, don't.

Look at this! Woo-hoo! Please don't run...

Come on, give it to 'em, Todd. I'll sing it, I'll dance it.

I'm comin' to town! But...

I've got energy! He's got energy.

Look at him go!

I have the strength of 20 ponies.

20! I have the strength of Zeus,

after he made love to a bionic hippopotamus.

Yeah, nailed it. Can you see what I'm saying?

I'm like Rocky and Rocky III combined.

I'm like if Rocky II fucked Rocky IV.

Boom! Rocky V. Do you see what I'm sayin'?

Give me another one of these things.

Yes! Get it down you, Todd. Don't drink another one...

Chug, chug, chug! Chug, chug, chug, chug. Yes!

Stop encouraging him, please.

Here's another thing about Thunder Muscle -

It'll make you hard. I mean, brrrr!

OK, no, don't. I mean, feel this.

She doesn't wanna feel it. Feel it, feel it! Don't be scared.

When was the last time you had any? That's what I'm saying.

I will fuck the old out of you, right now.

No, no. All night long, I will.

That's the beauty of Thunder Muscle! Not acceptable!

It's just one of the many things! Here, Thunder Muscle!

No, where are you going? I am talking to you. That's rude!

Tell 'em about Thunder Muscle. Because Barack Obama's president?!

You racist! You racist! I'm talking to you!

I'm trying to make a presentation! Just... My point is, please,

just get a Thunder Muscle. Just buy one. It's one pound.

That's all it is, one pound.

Just somebody fucking buy one, please.

I need another one of these things. You don't need more Thunder Muscle.

No! I want one! You really don't...

CLONK Oh!

THUD

Jesus. DAVE LAUGHS

What's the matter with you? Oh, it's funny.

I wanna go home.

I'd like to buy a can of Thunder Muscle, please.

You're a nice lady.

How much do I owe you? The lady paid for it, mate.

She did? That was nice.

Argh!

This sucks.
