Quotes3

  • DCI Rennie: The police arrest men in this city, Lieutenant, not the military.
  • Lt. David Ferris: I was carrying out orders.
  • DCI Rennie: I like my man stripped, weary, and checked into a cell before he's had time to think. I have to work on him. and I don't want him used to being in a cage by the time he's mine. Got it?
  • Lt. David Ferris: He's in the cells. Why don't you just take him?
  • DCI Rennie: There's a form for these things. One day, in jolly old England, some lawyer'll be putting the arrest under a microscope. So, everything's got to be right, got it?
  • Gingy McAnally: They said I was dead, Mr Ferris. Every single one of them said I was dead.
  • Lt. David Ferris: What else can they say? Their power has been smashed, and it's you that's been smashing it. I can't change the course of this war, can't change it an inch. But you can, Gingy. Compared with what you can do, I'm wasting my time here. All of us are.
  • Gingy McAnally: Too right. Get the Brits out, and we'd sort it quick.
  • Gingy McAnally: Do you get extra if you shoot a Provo?
  • Lt. David Ferris: Lord, no.
  • Gingy McAnally: I thought you got extra. That's what we were told.
  • Lt. David Ferris: I suppose either one of us gets overloaded with the truth, Gingy.
