Quotes 

• Leonard Scruby : So you had absolutely no idea your wife was subject to these tendencies?

  Roger Miles : None whatsoever.

  Leonard Scruby : Who is a known Lesbian?

  Roger Miles : Yes. She got married once.

  Leonard Scruby : Excuse me?

  Roger Miles : To another women. Read something about it somewhere. Gay News. Don't know if she's had a divorce.

  Leonard Scruby : Well, this is most promising. And where has your wife taken the boy?

  Roger Miles : Brixton.

  Leonard Scruby : Oh, wonderful.

• Mark Varda : Quick smash and grab in the County Court. We can get away with it, don't you think, Leonard?

  Leonard Scruby : A bit of a long shot, isn't it? I would have thought we'd stand a better chance with a magistrate.

  Mark Varda : But not much fun, though. Also a bit hit and miss. What we need is the right judge.

• Leonard Scruby : Now, this is your affidavit, Mr Miles. It sets out your reason for applying for care and control.

  Bill Hooper : Yes. I've lived here for years.
