Green Street Hooligans (2005)

Leo Gregory: Bovver

Quotes 

• Bovver : [Pete and Matt walk into the pub]  Jesus, you two attatched at the fucking hip or what?

  Pete Dunham : Leave it out Bov, it's getting old.

  Bovver : Nah, I'm starting to wonder about you two. I mean if I didn't know any better I'd say you was a couple of gay boys.

  Pete Dunham : Bov, we've known each other a long time yeah? I trust you more than any other bloke I know, but you're getting dangerously close to crossing the line with me. If you got a problem then it's your fucking problem, not mine. But if you wanna discuss it further, we can go outside.

• Pete Dunham : [after Pete introduces Matt to his friends at the Abbey]  Where's Bovver?

  Swill : He's been in the toilet for about fifteen minutes, like dodgy Ruby or something down at Bengal last night.

  Dave : [Dave points at Matt]  Oh, look, look, he looks lost. No, "Ruby Murray" means curry. We call it Cockney rhyming slang...

  Matt Buckner : Slang. Yeah, like, uh, "bees and honey" for money.

  Dave : That's it, yeah.

  Swill : Like "struggle and grunt" for cunt!

  Dave : Oh, you went dark. Why'd you go...

  Swill : I'm not a cunt.

  Bovver : [Bovver walks up to the table]  Like "septic tank" for Yank.

  Pete Dunham : [the guys greet him; Pete hugs him and indicates Matt]  This is Matt, Shannon's brother.

  Matt Buckner : Hey.

  [Matt extends his hand; Bovver ignores it and the guys all laugh] 

  Swill : That's the proper, right? He don't give a fuck, does he? He don't give a fuck.

  Pete Dunham : Mate, he's practically family.

  [Bovver shrugs and the guys laugh again] 

  Swill : Oh, mate, it's fucking painful!

  Pete Dunham : Bov's a miserable cunt, but we love him dearly, don't we, boys?

  Dave : Eh, sometimes.

  [he smiles] 

  Swill : Like a fucking brother!

• Bovver : [after Matt has been introduced to the guys and sent to buy a round]  What's with all the fuckin' babysitting? You know we had a meet set up for today.

  Pete Dunham : It's all right, Bov. He'll stay out the way. It's not like we didn't have it last night.

  Bovver : What? That's not the bloody point, is it? We'll look like right mugs if we set something up and our fearless leader don't show 'cause he's playin' pin the tail on a fuckin' Yank.

  Ned : No, he's right, man. He's got a point.

  Pete Dunham : You let me worry 'bout that, all right, boys?

  [Matt returns with the beers] 

  Pete Dunham : As for the Yank, he's too modest to tell you, but back in the States, he's an internationally-ranked double-black belt in karate.

  Dave : Is he fuck? Look at the size of him.

  Pete Dunham : No, no, no, no. Bloody "Karate Kid" film? Based on his exploits.

  Dave : Really?

  Pete Dunham : Yeah.

  Dave : Really?

  Matt Buckner : Yeah, it's true.

  Pete Dunham : Fuckin' straight.

  Swill : Bollocks.

  [Matt looks at Swill nervously] 

  Swill : Bollocks.

  Matt Buckner : Come on, why not?

  Swill : You're lyin' already. You been here fuckin' five minutes and you're lyin'!

  [everybody laughs]
