Callan: You're giving me the push, aren't you? Before I've even had a chance. I don't call that normal. It's not even fair! Hunter: Oh we're never fair if we can help it. If we were we'd lose.

Callan: I understand you got bail. Lonely: Yeah, three thousand quid. You don't happen to have it on you, do you? Callan: No. Lonely: No. Still, I mean, you won't have to pull a wages snatch or nothin'… Nah, you'll just have a glass of sherry with your bank manager while his understrappers opens up the vaults. Callan: I don't have three thousand quid. Lonely: Oh dear, you'll just have to pop one of your Boticellis, won't you?

Henshaw: When it comes to the trial I can plead that Callan will look after you, as a friend. See you don't get into trouble again. Lonely: Blimey!You don't know my friend Callan at all, do you? Henshaw: I thought I did. Lonely: Hah! Him? keep me out of trouble? Gawd, stone me!

Hunter [ on Callan ]: You knew him before all this. How would you describe him? Dr. Snell: Brave, aggressive, sexually normal. No significant traumas.
