Quotes5

  • Porter: Well, you have got yourself into a proper pickle, haven't you Mr. M?
  • Sonny MacGregor: I couldn't. But, someone else - might.
  • Porter: Who?
  • Sonny MacGregor: Anyone. Anyone of a thousand characters that I can create and then destroy - just like that.
  • Porter: What are you going on about, Mr. M?
  • Sonny MacGregor: Murder, Porter. Murder. Murder by a person or persons unknown. By someone who doesn't even exist. A will o' the wisp. Murder by a figment of my imagination.
  • Sonny MacGregor: I can smile - and murder while I smile.
  • Porter: Oh, dear.
  • Sonny MacGregor: I will drown more sailors than mermaids...
  • Porter: It's the Old Vic trouble, isn't it, sir?
  • Sonny MacGregor: I'll play the orator as well as Nestor, deceive more slyly than Ulysses could, and like a Sinon - take another Troy!
  • Porter: Mr. M, the tele's one thing, but, real life's quite another. You'd only go and overdo it.
  • Sonny MacGregor: Why should I?
  • Porter: Because you always do. Frankly, you always overact most dreadfully.
  • Sonny MacGregor: A bomb. Yes, a bomb will do it. You see, a bomb will blow he and his records and the barge to kingdom come - and, yet, it wouldn't hurt anyone else. Yes! But where do we get a bomb from?
  • Porter: Well, if you only want a little one, I suppose you'd have to go to Ireland for that.
