Quotes 

• [talking about Eddie Boyse] 

  Det. Sgt. George Carter : He's got the Church and the Palace of Westminster on his side. Who have you got?

  Det. Insp. Jack Regan : My mum. She thinks I'm a genius!

• Det. Sgt. George Carter : Excuse me for asking, guv'nor, but what the hell are we doing here?

  Det. Insp. Jack Regan : Revisiting the scene of the crime. Don't you ever go to the pictures?

  Det. Sgt. George Carter : Well yeah, but there's something about Clint Eastwood that make it enjoyable.

• Alison Carter : Guilty or innocent, Regan always gets his man.

  Det. Sgt. George Carter : You got no reason to say that.

  Alison Carter : I've got every reason - you! Because if you don't see through him, before long you're gonna turn out just like him. Look, George, I admire the work you do, the dedication, but times I'm jealous. I resent your involvement, the satisfaction you get from it, but Regan's an unhappy, mixed-up man. I think he's a headcase. At times he behaves just like a... monster!

  Det. Sgt. George Carter : But he's a good copper.

  Alison Carter : Is that the only way to be a good copper? Be tough? Be an anachronistic joke like Regan?
