Robert Lindsay: Ben Harper

Quotes 

• Ben Harper : Michael... Michael, you can't go through there.

  Michael Harper : Who says?

  Ben Harper : The sign, It says "For use in an emergency only."

  Michael Harper : Well this is an emergency, I'm bored.

  Ben Harper : No! Michael! Michael...

  Susan Harper : -Let him go.

  Ben Harper : Oh, "Let him go." If he breaks one law, what's to stop someone else from breaking another law? And then the whole edifice comes crumbling down, doesn't it? And you get people running around garrotting each other!

  Susan Harper : Ben, he's only gone through a door.

  Ben Harper : It's The door to anarchy!

• Ben Harper : Oh, for crying out loud!

  Michael Harper : Ben, calm down. It's only been five minutes.

  Nick : That's how it always starts- With five minutes... then ten... then half an hour, then an hour, then two hours... then a month

  Ben Harper : Nick!

  Nick : ...Then two months

  Ben Harper : Nick!

  Nick : [Long pause]  Then a year!

• Susan Harper : Know your place. Don't take risks. Don't stick your neck out.

  Ben Harper : Don't kill your wife. Don't dismember her body. Don't bury her under a rugby pitch.
