Quotes

Sir William Gull : One day men will look back and say that I gave birth to the twentieth century.
Abberline : You're not going to see the twentieth century.

Abberline : [about Polly's murder] I'm waiting for the police surgeon's report for more details.
Sir Charles Warren : [sits at his desk while smoking a cigarette] I see. Well, one thing's for certain; an Englishman didn't do it.
[Warren pulls up a newspaper clipping of American Natives]
Sir Charles Warren : Maybe one of these Red Indians wandered into Whitechapel and indulged his natural inclinations.
[Abberline looks doubtfully at the drawing]
Abberline : With all due respect, sir, I believe this was done by someone with at least a working knowledge of dissection. An educated man, such as a doctor...
Sir Charles Warren : [quickly interjects] An educated man? That's preposterous! No well-bred man would do this!
[pause]
Sir Charles Warren : Probably a tradesman or a butcher...
Abberline : [nods] A tradesman is a possibility, sir, yes...
[pause]
Abberline : But there's a strong indication against it. There was a sprig of grapes under her body.
Sir Charles Warren : What are you driving at?
Abberline : No one in Whitechapel, no matter what their trade, could afford grapes. Obviously, they were given to her by the killer. It follows that he must be someone with money.
-
Abberline : This ain't killin' for profit. This is ritual.
-
Sir Charles Warren : It's over with, It's done. You have my word.
Abberline : Fuck your word! I will bring down every one of you fucking cunts!

Abberline : And Withers, for your information... the star of David has six points.

[Johnny Depp's first lines]
[Sergeant Godley slaps Abberline to wake him up]
Abberline : Hello, darling.
-
Abberline : Why?
Sir Charles Warren : Are you questioning my decision?
Abberline : No, sir, I just simply want to know why.
-
Abberline : Sergeant? It's night.
Peter Godley : Your observations are correct. It is indeed night.
[turns to two constables]
Peter Godley : And gentlemen, unless you wish to be free of the confines of your duties, this never happened.
-
Abberline : I want every veterinarian, butcher, furrier in the district interviewed.
Constable Withers : Furrier? What he do, sir? Skin her?
Abberline : He disemboweled her. Removed her stomach, intestines...
-
Sir Charles Warren : My God. He's out of his mind.
Abberline : That's very astute of you sir.
-
Victoria Abberline : [as they make love] I have wonderful news.
Abberline : Tell me.
Victoria Abberline : Surely you, of all people, can guess.
Abberline : I don't want to guess with you.
Victoria Abberline : Dr.Marbury says...
Abberline : Dr.Marbury says?
Victoria Abberline : Dr.Marbury says I'm going to have your child.
[Abberline smiles and kisses Victoria]
