The scene we cut
Fairytale town
"It's a fairytale f***ing town, isn't it?" Harry cannot understand how Bruges is not someone's thing.
Ralph Fiennes took the part because he had never been asked to play a cockney gangster before and wanted to try. Harry only appears in the final act, so nearly everything the audience knows about him comes from phone calls like this one.
