The Bank Job (2008)

Peter Bowles: Miles Urquart

Quotes 

• Tim Everett : [after being debriefed about Michael X]  Well, it's all straight-forward enough. I'll send a team into this bank and take whatever he's got in his safe deposit box.

  Miles Urquart : That will have to be sanctioned at the highest level, and that's not going to happen.

  Tim Everett : Ah.

  Miles Urquart : Do you see our problem? There can be no connection to Five or Six.

  Tim Everett : So you want me to come up with something that avoids any accountability for anyone?

  Miles Urquart : We'd welcome suggestions, Tim.

  Tim Everett : And if it all goes pear-shaped? I assume it's my arse on the line.

  Miles Urquart : You're young and ambitious, Tim. A chance to make a name for yourself.

• Miles Urquart : They know what they're doing, these people, don't they?

  Tim Everett : Oh, absolutely. Professional criminals.

  Philip Lisle : What's the worst case scenario?

  Tim Everett : They get caught and go to jail. No possible connection to us.

  Miles Urquart : What about this model your screwing? What promises have you made to keep her in line?

  Tim Everett : None that can't be broken. Look, she's our only tie to the bank operation. If things do go belly up, it'll only take one cut to sever the knot.

• Miles Urquart : Might it not be prudent to get the committee to consider issuing a D-notice, to protect everyone potentially embarrassed by this criminal activity?

  Philip Lisle : Which we instigated?
