CPS Director George Castle
- George Castle: [after Father Browne leaves the CPS offices] Well, I'm Church of Scotland, so I'm okay.
- James Steel: I made a few gentle inquiries, George. If the Cardinal misunderstood my tone, that's not my problem.
- George Castle: Gentle inquiries? His exact words were 'bully boy techniques, veiled threats and libelous accusations'.
- James Steel: That doesn't sound like me.
- George Castle: That's about par for the course to me
- [Alesha is snickering in the background]
- George Castle: We lost the last hand, and they hold all the cards.
- James Steel: So let's call their bluff. We'll threaten to hit them where it hurts-in their pockets. We'll say Harry Lucas is going to bring a civil suit against them just like in Ireland and if that happens, it'll cost them millions.
- George Castle: And if they don't fold?
- [James looks at him with a poker face]
- James Steel: Remind me NEVER to play you in poker.
- George Castle: Do you know what I am doing tomorrow James? I am accounting to the Chief Exec of the CPS for every penny spent on failed convictions. It's Saturday tomorrow, James. I like Saturdays - my wife insists on them.
- James Steel: So you want us to come back at the start of the next financial year?
- George Castle: Don't be a smart ass.
