Quotes
Bodie: Have I ever let you down?
Doyle: Yes, you have, as a matter of fact... Now, listen, this bird... she's not that gymnast is she, the big one? I don't want that any more. I've had enough of that.
Bodie: Yeah, well, never mind that.
Doyle: No, this is on me.
Bodie: You paid last week.
Doyle: Well, then you pay.
Doyle's Girlfriend: Will you two stop arguing?
Doyle: Well, you pay, then. That's settled, then. She's gonna pay. That'll teach you to keep your mouth shut.
Bodie: Look, I don't know what this is about, but to hold a grudge —
Doyle: He killed my partner. Syd Parker. A good copper and a good friend. Bill Haydon stuck a bullet right through the middle of him. Now tell me, Bodie, how would you feel about that?
Bodie: I don't know.
Doyle: Sorry, mate.
Bodie: That's okay.
Bodie: You're pleased with yourself, aren't you? Yeah, of course you are — regular bloody Sherlock Holmes.
Doyle: Yeah, all right, don't hang about — put your foot down — Watson.
Doyle: I never knew you were such an outdoor type. I mean, fishing and Bodie. They don't exactly go together, do they? You know what I mean?
Bodie: That's very wounding. I'm a deeply sensitive man with an enduring interest in the countryside. Besides, there's a pub down the road with two beautiful barmaids.
Doyle: Oh, that kind of fishing.
