Duchess (film)

"[Voiceover] Just like cocks, power comes in all different shapes and sizes. You name it. Sex, money, class, politics. Or just the sheer will to put the other man down and leave 'em bleeding on the floor. But power is nothing without respect. If they don't respect you, sooner or later some cunt is gonna come along and take that power away from you."

"[Voiceover] So this is me. Name's Scarlett. London girl through and through. The big bastard is Nacho, but don't lose any sleep over him, he totally has it coming."

"[Voiceover, shooting at Nacho] As you can probably tell, I've come along way from Peckham. But I ain't done nothing to be ashamed of. [Nacho jumps out window] Fuck sake! [Voiceover] Not much anyway."

"[Voiceover] Actually, hang on a minute, I'm getting way ahead of myself. [Montage of film's key moments flash] To really understand where this all started, we have to go back a bit. [Scene of waiting at bus stop] Back to when I met the man who changed everything. [Scene of nightclub] No, not him, that's just a mark. And not him, either. That's Adam. Think of him like Fagin to me Artful Dodger. Wherever he could pinch, he took his cut and watched my back."

"[Voiceover, referring to Rob at nightclub] No, I'm talking about the other bloke in the background who I didn't even see coming."

"[Voiceover, of Rob fighting nightclub security] That's Rob McNaughton. The future love of my life. Ex-marine, ex-con, excellent in bed as it turned out. And oh, yeah, extremely fucking dangerous as it turns out. [He's holding a security man on shoulder] Billy Baraka, a mercenary from Angola. Grew up fighting for freedom in the civil war before fighting for cash in the Congo. Teamed up with Rob 20 years ago. [Billy throws security man on floor] And they've had each other's back ever since. [Billy punches security man in the face] Danny Oswald, ex-SAS. Served his time in the sandbox, before going into the private sector and putting his skills to better use. Namely, profit. [He slams a security man's head on bar counter] He met Rob in a South African jail. Been thick as thieves for ten years now. [Danny shocks security man using a taser and bar counter puddle] These were the Three Musketeers. "All for one and one for all". And anyone that fucked with them, came a cropper."

"[Voiceover while driving in Tenerife, the Canary Island] I know what you've gonna say, this man is into some shady shit. He's into some shady shit, but I didn't care. If I wasn't willing to risk it all for love, then what's the point?"

"[Voiceover] Days came and went. Bruises healed and me and Rob got closer and closer. Anyone who've ever been in love will know exactly what I'm talking about. It's the best drug there is. And I was as high as a fucking kite."

"[Voiceover] Charlie, looks like royalty, swears like a docker."

"[Voiceover, walking through backyard] It was like coming home for the first time and the whole gang was here."

"[Voiceover, after fight with a rapist] What can I tell you? It was him or me. But looking at him lying there bleeding on the floor, I didn't feel a fucking thing. Maybe I was more like me old man than I thought. But I also knew I rocked the boat big time. And I didn't know how Rob would take it."

"[Voiceover, in shower] I never felt so empty in all my life. I couldn't feel pain. I couldn't feel anything. My one true love was gone, just like that. All I could do was take what I could carry and get the fuck out."

"[Voiceover, henchman open van backdoors] Lee-Roy and Nacho, Tom's muscle and a right pair of cunts."

"[Voiceover] Like Victor said, it pays to keep your family close. This is Jono, Baraka's nephew and our first recruit."

"[Voiceover, walking to vehicle] At the end of the day, I am what I am. I talk dirty, I hit hard, I drink my vodka straight. [Gets in vehicle] And I don't take shit from anyone. [The Ghost of Rob appears alongside Scarlett] I've loved, I've lost. I've taken power and I've earned my respect. Revenge may be a dish best served cold but it taste bitter sweet. [Drives off] I did what I had to do and now I choose to walk away. Because that's what Rob would have wanted. [Sees Jono riding behind on motorcycle] Riff. [Jono detonates explosives in Scarlett's vehicle] Hold your horses, did I say you could leave yet? [Scarlett had escaped the vehicle prior to implosion and Jono rides up] My name is Duchess and I live by one simple rule. Never let 'em see me coming. [In scene] Oi! [Jono turns and Scarlett punches him in the face]"

"[To approaching security man] Think it over. [Security man walks away]"

"[Appears in kitchen with gun drawn after Scarlett's fight with rapist, seeing his body] Oh, fuck. [Repeatedly x6] Shit... [Pulls out phone, to Scarlett] You alright? [To Rob] Yeah, yeah, Rob. Little bit of an issue."
