Detective Kevin Corcoran: I have a favor to ask.
Elizabeth Haverford: Well that's fortunate. I've brought you here to ask a favor of my own.
Detective Kevin Corcoran: [pulls out Elizabeth's letter] Next time, could you ease up on the rose water? I will not hear the end of it at the precinct-house.
Elizabeth Haverford: Embarrassing you was not my intention. It's just the way I smell.

User Reviews

I loved it

It only took one tailor of Copper for me to know that I was going to love this series. I, like everyone in my office at DISH, thought that I was in store for another chapter in the Gangs of New York story. Copper was a completely different animal. The historical research performed to create this series is definitely apparent. The clothes were perfect, the acting was spot on, and unlike Gangs of New York Copper actually delves into the entire social hierarchy of the period. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is a history buff. I am lucky I got to see it at all. I rented it from Blockbuster at Home through DISH because if it wasn't delivered right to my mailbox I never would have had time to go pick it up from the Wal-Mart in the next town over.
