Quotes
Bodie: You have to spend a whole year in CI5 before you get to call Mister Cowley
The Cow
.
Doyle: And even then, not um... well, not actually in the building.
[Bodie and Doyle are teasing new agent Tony Miller]
Doyle: He's [Cowley] got ears like a hawk.
Bodie: Eyes.
Doyle: What?
Bodie: Hawks have eyes.
Doyle: Yeah, well, this is true, but they also have very good ears. I mean, did you ever see a hawk wearing a deaf aid?
Bodie: That's ridiculous.
Doyle: That's ridiculous, but it's true.
Bodie: Would you push a girl out of a window for two million?
Doyle: Is that a definite offer?
Neil Turvey: CI5 — sort of police.
Bodie: Not even close. Police can be corruptible.
[Discussing Neil Turvey's sudden forgetfulness]
Doyle: He's forgotten.
Bodie: Amnesia.
Doyle: Convenient — amnesia.
Bodie: You know, that's sometimes brought on by a blow on the head.
Doyle: And sometimes miraculously restored the same way.
Doyle: Rotten. Depraved. Influenced by bribery. That's corruption. I was looking it up in the dictionary. I could go on — to infect, to taint, to destroy purity —
Bodie: You should have asked me. My definition's much simpler. Corruption? That's where the worms are.
Lord Derrington: My irreverence shocks you?
Cowley: Oh, nothing shocks me.
Neil Turvey: You must be mad!
Bodie: You have to be mad in this job or you go insane.
Neil Turvey: What kind of men are you?
Doyle: The kind of men who catch your kind of men.
Filing Clerk: That's funny.
Bodie: Careful. You might break a rib laughing.
