Sidney James: Parkinson

Quotes 

• Parkinson : Father! You in trouble, Father?

  Father Brown : I'm disappointed in you, Bert.

  Parkinson : I'm sorry, Father, it was just...

  Father Brown : Firstly, because you did wrong. Secondly, because you did wrong in the wrong way. Frankly, you are an incompetent thief.

  Parkinson : Well, I wouldn't go that far.

  Father Brown : I would. You are clearly incapable of earning a dishonest living. Why not experiment with an honest one?

• Parkinson : Pardon, me lady, but the awful people are coming up the drive!

  Lady Warren : What awful people? It is not my "at home" day.

  Father Brown : I think he means the police.
