Scandal (1989)

Alex Norton: Detective Inspector

Quotes 

• Detective Inspector : You're for the drop, Ward. You know that, don't you? You're finished. They've all dropped you, haven't they? All your mates, all your lords and ladies, all your MP's, your royalty. They're all rushing off to America to do business, aren't they? Nobody wants to know. You haven't got a friend in the world. And there's no use you thinking your friends from MI5 are gonna come paddling up the Thames in a midget submarine. This isn't your James Bond. I said this isn't your James Bond!

  Stephen Ward : No.

  Detective Inspector : You stink, Ward! You're a stinking little ponce, and I've got 147 people to say the same. 147. You know how many witnesses we'd normally interview in a charge like this, poncey? 3 or 4. 5 at the most. And we generally get results. 147, Ward, that's 147 interviews! We've been busy boys, me and John. We've been at it around the clock. And you'd be amazed at some of the people we've dug up. Real filth! Eh, John? Real pox-ridden harlots.

  Stephen Ward : [breaks his glasses] 

  Detective Inspector : Oh dear, look at that.
