Quotes
Doyle: Commissioned to the 16th Rifles. Saw action in Aden and the Far East. Oh, here we are: volunteered for the SAS; three tours of duty in Northern Ireland. Two commendations. He was captain at Staff College. G2 ops. Promoted to major, transferred to BAOR. Whew, he was a lieutenant colonel at thirty-seven. He's made Battalion Commander of the 31st Tank Regiment.
Bodie: Wasn't an outsider on the promotion stakes, was he?
Doyle: No, he's gone through these ranks like food through a goose.
Bodie: That's downwards.
Doyle: Horizontal.
Bodie: It's fast, anyway.
Doyle: That's fast.
Bodie: All right, let's get off the glittering career and get on with the juicy bits, then.
Doyle: What, psychiatric?
Bodie: Yeah.
Doyle: Okay, what heading do you want? Uh. Psychomorphological or psychopathological?
Bodie: Got anything on the girlfriend?
