- Thomson: [looks at the newspaper] Great Scotland Yard! That's extraordinary!

- Inspector Thompson: [snatches the newspaper] Really, Thomson! This is hardly the time...
- [looks at the newspaper]
- Inspector Thompson: Great Scotland Yard!
- Thomson, Tintin: What is it?
- Inspector Thompson: Canes are half-price too!
- Silk: What do you mean, "pickpocket"?
- Thomson: A master criminal. A bag-snatching, purse-pilfering, wallet-lifting sneak thief!
- Silk: I'm not a bad person. I'm a kleptomaniac.
- Thomson: A what?
- Inspector Thompson: It's fear of open spaces.
- Thomson: Poor man. No wonder he keeps his wallets in the living room.

- Tintin: Are you going to take charge of this evidence?
- Inspector Thompson: Never fear, Tintin! The evidence is safe with us!
- [falls down stairs]
- Thomson: Thompson? Where are you?
- Inspector Thompson: Well, I'm already downstairs! You'd better keep up!

- Thomson: To be precise: it's very childish I agree!
- Tintin: [seeing a poster of the "Milanese Nightengale", the opera singer Bianca Castafiore, being unveiled in Bagghar] The Milanese Nightingale. That's his secret weapon?

- Inspector Thompson: [equally amazed] My!
- Captain Haddock: What a *dish.*
- Inspector Thompson: We haven't got a clue what he was working on.
- Thomson: Quite right, Thompson. We're completely clueless
- Thomson: Steady on, Tintin. We're still filling out the paperwork.
- Inspector Thompson: Police work's not all glamour and guns. There's an awful lot of filing.
- Inspector Thompson: The upshot is we caught the thief, retrieved your wallet, and then hopped on the next plane to Bagghar.
- Thomson: Yes, that pocket picker has picked his last pocket.
- Tintin: All we have to do is send that information to Interpol, they can track the signals and figure out which way they're headed.
- Captain Haddock: Here comes Interpol now.
- Inspector Thompson, Thomson: Tintin!
