Quotes 

• Richard Herncastle : I have just this second agreed to be somewhere else.

  Nick Ollanton : I must not have made myself clear enough the other night. You have only one priority while you work for me boy, that to do what I ask. Anybody else plays second fiddle, whoever she is.

• Richard Herncastle : And what are we going to be rehearsing next week?

  Nick Ollanton : A disappearing cyclist. A man rides up to this open doorway, bike goes through, man disappears.

  Richard Herncastle : Who'll be the man?

  Nick Ollanton : You. No objections now or I'll make you disappear altogether.

• Richard Herncastle : [narrating]  Christmas eve - my first away from home. Not that I had a home any more. But Christmas is the time for remembering it - and loneliness stabs like a pain.
