Terry LeatherYou know what scares me more? Living and dying with nothing to show for it. You know how old Mozart was when he composed his first minuet?
Kevin SwainAnd how would you know that fact, Terry?
Terry LeatherBecause it's tattooed on that stripper's arse, Kevin. What the fuck's it matter how I know? It's a fact and you're missing the point, Kev. What I'm trying to say is, we stop fucking about and stop picking the shit from under our fingernails.

Kevin Swain[facetiously]It's all been worked out, Dave. We'll dig another hole in that corner over there and put it in that.

Martine LoveI know you, Terry. And I know your mates. You've always been looking for the big score. The one that makes sense of everything. I have it for you.
Terry LeatherA bank, as in rob? How would you know about a bank?
Martine LoveI've been seeing this guy, runs his own business - security systems. Next month they're installing new alarms in a bank in Marylebone. Seems like the trains have been setting off the tremble alarms in the vault, and so they've had to turn them off. So for a week or so, they won't have any.
Martine LoveWe were having a laugh about it. Imagine if half the villains in London knew about this, he said. And I thought, I know half the villains in London. I grew up with some of them.

Eddie Burton[on radio]What regiment were you in? The Royal Corps of Wankers?
Tim EverettYou've opened Pandora's box you dumb prick. That's why.
Terry LeatherI know what's at stake, and I know how expendable we are. So I'm changing the deal.
Tim EverettIs that right?
Terry LeatherYeah. You get all your nasty pictures, but here's the twist - we get indemnity, fresh passports, safe passage out of the country for the whole team. And an official signed document guaranteeing that we won't be prosecuted and we won't be pursued.
Tim EverettYou can't be serious.
Terry LeatherYou can bet your bollocks I'm serious. And we want it signed, sealed, and delivered by a public figure of substantial authority.
Tim EverettHow about the prime minister?
Terry LeatherYeah, he'll do, if you can drag him off his yacht. You mess with us Tim...

Tim Everett[after being debriefed about Michael X]Well, it's all straight-forward enough. I'll send a team into this bank and take whatever he's got in his safe deposit box.
Miles UrquartThat will have to be sanctioned at the highest level, and that's not going to happen.
Tim EverettAh.
Miles UrquartDo you see our problem? There can be no connection to Five or Six.
Tim EverettSo you want me to come up with something that avoids any accountability for anyone?
Tim EverettAnd if it all goes pear-shaped? I assume it's my arse on the line.

Terry LeatherRadio's in the bag. Binoc's as well. There's a bed set at the top floor of this building. Pay for the week. The ladder will get you to the roof. You're in from Liverpool, looking for work.
Lew VogelJust a couple of things from what you've stolen. A ledger with a dark red cover. And some photos that I'm sure the MI-5 is interested in. The "Royal portfolio".
[Terry Leather's face is covered with a shocked look]
Lew Vogel[takes the phone and says in it] I'll give you one hour to find what I want... or I'll kill this man too.
[hangs phone up]
Terry Leather[more shocked then ever hangs up and runs with Kevin to the van. They start emptying every bag out, creating a heap of papers] Fuck!

Sonia BernPerhaps you don't fully comprehend. I have photographs, compromising photographs, live film of you, Miles Urquart, all my regulars - in this safe deposit box. You all know each other if that's any consolation.

Terry LeatherThere's another problem. This robbery's pissed off some local villains.
Tim EverettHardly surprising considering the roster of reprobates that are the safe deposit box customers. Listen Terry, our commitment is for the recovery of the royal portraits only. The proceeds and the piss-offs are both yours to deal with.
Hakim JamalIt's about being born black in America. Can any of you imagine what it's like to be a black man in this world? Can any of you white women imagine what it would be like to bring a black baby into this world?
Tim EverettThey get caught and go to jail. No possible connection to us.
Miles UrquartWhat about this model your screwing? What promises have you made to keep her in line?
Tim EverettNone that can't be broken. Look, she's our only tie to the bank operation. If things do go belly up, it'll only take one cut to sever the knot.

Lew VogelI'm afraid I have some potentially bad news for you, Michael. Your safety deposit box at the Baker Street bank - what's its number?
Lew VogelWell, we had some weekender thieves break into the vault and robbed it. So if your box is in the one hundred to four hundred numbers, I'm afraid all your stuff will be gone. Mine too, unhappily.
Lew VogelI promise you it has happened, and I promise you these thieves will be found and dealt with. You can rely on it. I'll keep you informed.

Roy Given[to two police officers standing behind Pyke]Place this man under arrest!
Gerald Pyke[horrified]What are you talking about? They're part of the Baker Street firm!
Roy GivenI don't know about them. But I know about YOU, you corrupt bastard! Cuff him! The one over by the wall as well!
