Pool Attendant: They kept it all incognito. They're gonna collect the body in an ice cream van.

Trivia: A sequel to The Long Good Friday was written by screenwriter Barry Keeffe. Entitled The Black Easter Monday, the action starts immediately after that of The Long Good Friday when the car carrying Shand is stopped by police. Both Shand and the IRA gunman (played by Pierce Brosnan in one of his first film roles) bluff their way out of it and walk away, allowing Shand to escape. The screenplay was universally acclaimed but by the time it got through development hell Brosnan, Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren had all become big stars. They could not commit to the project and their salary demands could not be accommodated anyway. The film was never made.
