Quotes
-
Cal McCaffrey : Hi, thanks for coming
[to visit him in prison]
Cal McCaffrey : .
Cameron Foster : Well, it's a first, so it's a pleasure... Don't eat the food. And Adam swears to me that he can get you bail, so don't take anal sex for granted. And I'll see you back in the office, uh... before you're 40.
-
Cameron Foster : [speaking about his son] Always gilding the lily. He thinks stuff like that's witty.
Della Smith : Not a recessive gene, then ?
-
Dominic Foy : Well, what kind of money are we talking?
Cameron Foster : Nobody's talking money.
Cal McCaffrey : Unless you've got something we couldn't get anywhere else.
Dominic Foy : Make me an offer.

DCI William Bell : Who gave you the briefcase, Mr. McCaffrey ?
Cal McCaffrey : For the tape, this is the second time I've asked for a phone call.
DCI William Bell : What part of a professional journalist pretended evidence like this should be kept from the police ?
Cal McCaffrey : Phone call.
DCI William Bell : The greedy part ?
Cal McCaffrey : Phone call.
DCI William Bell : Or the part protecting his mate, Stephen Collins ?
Cal McCaffrey : Look, I worked for him... once... about nine years ago. He didn't do it... Phone call.
DCI William Bell : When he sheltered from the press, he came to your house.
Cal McCaffrey : So ?
DCI William Bell : Well, he denied anything to do with her death.
Cal McCaffrey : Well, he didn't deny it, no, because he was never asked.
DCI William Bell : Never remotely crossed your mind ?
Cal McCaffrey : Look, he was on a train; she went under another.
DCI William Bell : Somebody paid for a professional hit man.
Cal McCaffrey : The briefcase implies that, yeah.
DCI William Bell : But you're excluding the VERY public figure who'd have everything to gain by getting rid of her. How come ?
Cal McCaffrey : If the reason you're keeping me here is to stop me doing a better job than you can, then I would be seriously embarrassed about that. You know ? I'd want to lead, not follow.
Cameron Foster : Well, you asked for that... when I said ten minutes ago this was getting repetitive. Were either of you listening ?
