Ray Smith: Spikings

Quotes 

• Spikings : Are you offering me a bloody Yank?

• Spikings : Do you know the retail value of a lorryload of caviar?

  Dempsey : That's more than my per diem.

  Spikings : A 40 ton load would be 16 million quid.

  Dempsey : What's a quid?

  Spikings : Pound.

  [Dempsey whistles] 

• Makepeace : [posing as a waitress]  What you lot want?

  Spikings : Lager.

  Makepeace : What about you?

  Dempsey : [thinks for a moment]  Scotch on the rocks.

  Makepeace : Got no bleedin' rocks here, mate, you'll have to make do with a lump of ice.

• Spikings : Leftenant Dempsey has been seconded to work with us for a while. He knows something about this investigation, so I want you to work together on it.

  [Makepiece gives a disapproving look] 

  Spikings : You can also show him how we operate. We might even learn something from his methods. In New York, they think he's 'hot stuff'. Who knows? You might even make a team.

• Spikings : [barely controling his rage]  Instead of pretending to know where it is, why don't you just maybe go out and start looking for the caviar instead.

  Dempsey : [snaps fingers]  You know something? That's a good idea.

• Spikings : Damn me, Dempsey, did you have to kill five men? Couldn't you have... killed one and wounded the others?
