George has just been released from prison, and manages to get a job driving an expensive call girl from customer to customer. Initially they don't get on - he doesn't fit in with the high class customers Simone services. Will they ever get on ?

The early scripting called for George to be a much older character and Sean Connery was suggested. Although Connery admired the work of Neil Jordan and wanted to work with him he disliked the role.

George:
You like her, don't ya?


Simone:
Of course I like her.


George:
Yeah, but you like her in that special way. In the songs.


Simone:
What songs?


George:
Well, I've sold myself for a couple of dykes.


Simone:
She needs me George.


George:
And you needed me to get her.


Simone:
Haven't you ever needed someone?


George:
All the time.
