Quotes 

• Dempsey : [Dempsey is standing on Makepeace's doorstep in the middle of the night]  I've come to take you away from all this. You ready?

  Makepeace : You? I thought it was just a bad dream I was having.

  [he steps inside and closes the door behind him] 

  Makepeace : What are you doing here? And why are you dressed like a waiter?

• Spikings : Whatever he did was fast and clean and right under your nose, copper.

  Dempsey : What do you want me to do, resign? Confess? Okay, so I was playing cards and I left my X-ray vision at home. Sue me. I'm human.

  [takes a bite of toast] 

  Spikings : We've only got your word for that Dempsey. Personaly, I have some doubts.

• Dempsey : Who knows with these upper class English, they got a warped sence of humor. I mean look at this one.

  Makepeace : I beg your pardon? A refugee from Batman and Robin telling me I've got a warped sence of humour?

• Annabel : [about Jamie Bessel]  Claire saw him with one of his tarts in Kensington a couple of weeks ago. Some dark haired page three sort of creature, so she said.

  Dempsey : What's page three? A one to ten scale?

  Annabel : Something like that. Boobs and bums for the popular press.

• Makepeace : Thank you very much, Annabel. Bye!

  Dempsey : [gets up]  You, eh, you sure you don't want to leave him for me to browse through?

  Dempsey : She'd love to, but she can't put me down herself.

• Dempsey : You know something, Makepeace? Sometimes I'd like to tear those lips of yours right off your face.

  Makepeace : What?

  Dempsey : It might be the only way I'd get to kiss them.

• Dempsey : Life is hard and then you die.
