"Beethoven had his critics too."taglines Chopper Read I'm just a normal bloke, a normal bloke that likes a bit of torture! Jim if you keep stabbing me you're gonna kill me, right? Now tell me this, why would I shoot a bloke, bang, then put him in the car and whizz him off to the hospital at 100mph? It defeats the purpose of shooting him in the first place. Dialogue Chopper: You think he'll want to give a bit of cash my way? Nick: Yeah, nah, I don't think he'll go for that. Chopper: Fuck him, he'll have to go for it. Neville? Neville Bartos: Yeah? Chopper: Nev, I hear you want to give me a bit of money. Nick: Jesus, relax, he's not your enemy! Chopper: He fucking is now, isn't he? Neville Bartos: [Chopper shoots Neville Bartos] Ooooo. Nick: [rushing into frame to help Neville Bartos] Get a fucking rag! Chopper: Forget the rag boys, get the fucking cash will you. Taglines "Beethoven had his critics too."
