    • Quotes

      [Stephen has beaten up Jim Bergerac, against Faraday's orders]

      Michael Faraday: Bergerac has been flailing around not knowing who or what he's been looking for.

      Stephen: He still doesn't.

      Michael Faraday: Using the French girl and Hungerford, I could have led him by the nose indefinitely. But now, thanks to you, not any longer. I do wonder, Stephen, what you think you hope you've achieved.

      Stephen: I discouraged him, didn't I?

      Michael Faraday: A man like Bergerac, you either leave strictly alone... or you kill him. I hope, Stephen, you're not stupid enough to believe you've scared him off.
