Quotes
-
Margo Leadbetter : This leek business is symptomatic of the moral decline in this country since the fall of the last Conservative government. If it isn't young girls with obscene innuendi on their T-shirts, it's trades union leaders haranguing us from the safety of a television studio. It's open-necked suits and trouser suits at the Dorchester. It's Monday to Friday becoming Monday thru Friday, t-h-r-u, by the way. And to cap it all, it's test matches being marred by banner-waving thugs at Lords.
Tom Good : Well, that's opened up the discussion a bit.
-
Tom Good : [to Harry] All right, stay where you are. This is a citizen's arrest.
-
Tom Good : Mind you, I would have been all right in Dodge City, places like that.
Barbara Good : What as? A dance hall girl?
Tom Good : Look, that was a pretty fancy piece of shooting last night, you know. To get a bloke in the backside - one shot - in the hip - in the dark and what? A hundred yards? Can't be bad!
Barbara Good : Better than missing a chicken at six inches.
Tom Good : It ducked, Barbara. - Will you kindly remember that.
-
Barbara Good : [Barbara is visiting Tom in jail] Oh, Tom. I do miss you.
Tom Good : I miss you too, love. There's two thousand of us in here but it's ever so lonely.
