ROCKNROLLA script

London crime boss Lenny Cole schemes to profit from a Russian oligarch's real estate deal, but the oligarch's lucky painting is stolen, leading to a city-wide search. Small-time gangsters One Two and Mumbles get involved after robbing money from the oligarch's accountant, Stella, who is secretly working with One Two. The missing painting, held by Lenny's estranged rock star stepson Johnny Story, becomes a central conflict as Lenny desperately tries to retrieve it to appease the Russian. Ultimately, One Two and his crew expose Lenny as an informer, take over his criminal enterprise, and Johnny escapes with the painting and his freedom.

Dialogue examples

You will notice that one of your personalities is seduced by the illusions of grandeur. A "gold" packet of "king" size and with a "regal" insignia. An attractive implication toward glamour and wealth, a subtle suggestion that cigarettes are indeed your "royal" and loyal friends. And that Pete,...is a lie. Your other personality is trying to draw your attention to the flip side of the discussion. Written in boring, bold, black and white is the statement, that these neat little soldiers of death, are in fact, trying to "kill you." And that Pete,...is the truth. Beauty is a beguiling call to death and I am addicted to the sweet siren of its pitch. And that,..is why,..you and I love the crack, and that is also why I can not,.. give that painting back.

Johnny Story / Scene 71

Who do you think looked after your Mum before she died, whilst you were doing a two stretch? 'Cos it wasn't fuckin me and I am your best pal! No, it was Bob around there six times a week without fail making sure she was looked after. You tore your mums heart out when you went away and Bob did his best to put it back. I tell you something One Two, if I could be half the human that Bob is and the price was being a poof, I'd think about it. Not for too long, but I'd have to think about it.

Mumbles / Scene 72

I don't want tickets, I need you to find me a painting, a classic, been nicked outta of Lenny's house. And since you got more feet on the street than coppers on the beat, I'd like you to assist. I'll leave you a little livener. There's a large twenty to get some tongues wagging.

Archy / Scene 47

Yes I do fuckin mind. Now listen Bob, what happened last night is our little secret all right and it was only cos you were supposed to be doing your time, right? You tell anybody and I swear to God,.... I swear to God. Well fuck it Bob, I think you understand.

One Two / Scene 67

Look, whoever I am talking to please relay the message to Johnny. His Dad, his jack in the box surprise gangster Daddy, paid us a visit. Shut down a few of our venues and he intends to shut down a few more unless Mr Story puts in an appearance.

Roman / Scene 119

We'll use rock salt in the shot gun cartridges. Slip 'em into the revolver, if it starts getting large, we'll bang a couple in to 'em and that'll slow 'em down. They won't know the difference between lead or salt and of course Bob's driving.

Mumbles / Scene 72

What do you mean you can't get the fuckin planning? There is seven million of my cash in there, without planning it's worth five,...you owe me. I take the building, you lose your share, but I am still outta pocket two large ones. Find it.

Lenny Cole / Scene 10

As in deputation,... The likes of which I hold for the very first time in my hand. Of course they use a false name and I have seen that name many times in the last twenty years, always did wonder who Sidney Shaw was,...
