Horace Rumpole
- Samuel 'Soapy Sam' Ballard Q.C.: Rumpole, there is something in this room that makes me feel uneasy.
- Horace Rumpole: Yes I know - but perhaps you'll be going in a minute.
- Charlie Wisbeach: Ballard asked me in for a chat. It seems there may be a vacancy in your chambers.
- Horace Rumpole: [tapping his head to indicate that he thinks Ballard is an idiot] Where Ballard is, there is *always* a vacancy.
- Horace Rumpole: [brandishing his umbrella on the subject of retirement] Rumpole shall never sheath his sword.
