There used to be a time when people used to hold up cigarette lighters and candles at concerts, and the place was aglow to celebrate the end of the evening, or during a slow song, there was this congregational euphoria that used to exist. It still does, but now it's a question of iPhones being held up.
I remember opening my dad's closet and there were, like, 40 suits, every color of the rainbow, plaid and winter and summer. He had two jewelry boxes full of watches and lighters and cuff links. And just... he was that guy. He was probably unfulfilled in his life in many ways.
Harry Hart: [Grabs a fountain pen from the wall] Now, I've had a lot of fun with this. One of our finest examples of chemical engineering. Poison. Harmless when ingested. But at a time, convenient to you...
[Pulls pen clip outward]
Harry Hart: It can be remotely activated. Primed.
[Pushes clip back]
Harry Hart: Lethal.
[Eggsy looks at the gold cigarette lighters on the wall]
Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin: And what about these? What do these do? Electrocute you?
Harry Hart: Don't be ridiculous. It's a hand grenade.
Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin: Shut up.
Harry Hart: If you want to electrocute someone, you'll need a signet ring.
[Grabs a ring from the wall]
Harry Hart: A gentleman traditionally wears the signet on his left hand, but a Kingsman wears it on whatever hand happens to be dominant. If you touch the contact behind the ring, it delivers 50,000 volts.
Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin: [Pointing at the smartphones and tablets on the opposite wall] And what about them? What makes
them so special?
[Eggsy grabs a lighter while Hart is not looking]
Harry Hart: Nothing. That technology is caught up with the spy world.
[Hart and Eggsy head back to the main lobby]
Harry Hart: Put it back, Eggsy.
[Eggsy puts the lighter back]
Max Jerry Horovitz: Butts are bad because they wash out to sea, and fish smoke them and become nicotine-dependent. I am just joking, because of course it is impossible for a cigarette to remain lit underwater. Also, fish do not have pockets to keep cigarette lighters in.
