Even after an assistant director told Farrell that he couldn’t work in his condition, the actor remained optimistic, saying: “Just get me six Pacifico Cervezas and a pack of 20 Marlboro Reds.”

I’m intrigued with him specifically saying “a pack of 20 [cigarettes],” because all packs of cigarettes come with 20. Is this an Irish/European thing that I (as an American) don’t understand?

I understand the confusion. When that film was made they did packs of 10 in the uk.

Yeah. In Europe they only come 19 to a pack. Unless they're Pall Mall. Those came 21 to a pack.
