âSo there I was, fiddling around with the radio in me cab, and out the corner of me eye I see this suit wearing bloke running, and he gets into the cab in front of mine, canât see whoâs drivinâ though, and I just think âwhatâs âappeninâ âere? I guess Iâll never knowâ and get back to fiddling with me radio, I think I looked for a screwdriver in the glove box or summink, then this other suit wearing bloke dashes into me cab and shouts at me âFollow that taxi!â, I do so quickly of course, and Iâm breaking the speed limit âere, as he looks like a reservoir dog, and I donât want him to pull a shooter on me or anyfink. Weâve successfully got closer to that cab now, and I can see the back of the driverâs âead, itâs a big, bald slap âead, bloody âell, I think thatâs Wayne! I saw âim actually look in his mirror and nod to me. Wayneâs passenger is looking behind âim at this other bloke in my cab, kind of inconspicuously, as if âe canât notice, and can faintly hear the bloke in the back of my cab mouthing âFuck off.â, like saying it, but not properly sayinâ. So both our cabs are goinâ at roughly the same speed, quite fast, and luckily, the roads arenât very busy at all. Nothinâs really âappeninâ at the moment, so I thought Iâd make a light hearted pun, so I says to this bloke âWhich oâ of you is Mr. Orange?â. Not even a faint smile, bloody miserable bastard, he didnât say anyfinkâ so Iâm assuming âe âasnât seen the film or is just really pissed off. I shouldaâ used common sense really and taken the latter for granted, you know what Iâm sayinâ, mate? âBout 30 seconds since my witty but wasted cultural reference, vroom, Wayneâs off speedinâ down the road at, ah, I dunno, âbout 60 miles per âour. This bloke isnât âavin of that thoâ, âCatch up with him!â he bloody bellows at me again, ignorant prick, but I do, even though Iâve since learned heâs prolly not armed at all. 60 miles per âour, in a fuckinâ 30 zone, the streets are fairly empty but Iâm still fuckinâ shittinâ it at this point, you know what I mean? You know, you lot takinâ me in anâ you âave anâ all, but anyway, thereâs about 5 minutes of this malarkey before Wayne, crazy bastard that âe is, fuckinâ swerves and turns aroundâŚin the middle of the road, anâ so then I âave to do the same donât I? Thereâs a bit of rough drivinâ goinâ round, and thatâs when I âear your sirens anâ all that, Wayne stops straight away, too quickly, I nearly crashed into the back of âim, weâre both stopped, our two passengers, leg it out and chase by foot now, they run off into the night, and, mate, I donât wanna be mean about your co-workers or anyfink, but they didnât even give âem a second glance, so what Iâm sayinâ is, you got the wrong two fellas âere, we just doinâ our job, we werenât the ones playinâ bloody Bobby De NiroâŚanâ thatâs it, really.â âOkay, thank you for your help, Mr. Murphy, youâre free to go.â |
