Quotes 

  • Journalist : What was the longest journey?

    Lucas Frye : Transsiberia. Ten days of permafrost. I shared a compartment with some caged birds, a woman who cured herrings - I was always puzzled as to how she knew which ones were sick - and a trampoline artist. Sadly, he left us after the third day. He was practising in the observation car. He didn't notice they'd opened the roof. So... One boing and he was gone.

  • Lucas Frye : Well, you see, it's devilish hard to find somewhere to live in Moscow. One day I saw a man flailing around in the Moscow river, shouting: "Help! Help!". So, I looked for something with which to aid him. I said: "You better tell me your name and address". So he said Ivan something, flat B, 25 Novotny Prospects. So I left him to drown and beatled 'round there. Too late. The flat had already been taken by the chap who pushed him in.

  • Lucas Frye : I have been approached by some agents.

    Peter Duckham : Agents?

    Lucas Frye : Literary not secret. They seem to think I have another book in me.

    Peter Duckham : Well, you better check with Sandy McIntyre before you sign anything.

    Lucas Frye : Sorry. Who?

    Peter Duckham : The poor bugger who wrote your first one.

  • Lucas Frye : The publisher says the advance is very healthy. The title was my idea. It was toss up between that or "Pardon Me, Vlad! Is This the Tbilisi Choo-Choo".

  • [Peter is in hospital after being stabbed with what he believes was a poisoned umbrella] 

    Lucas Frye : Quack-Quack! I came as quickly as I could. False alarm, was it?

    Peter Duckham : Obviously. Or I'd be in the morgue by now.

    Lucas Frye : Oh, dear!

    [Peter shoots him a dirty look] 

    Lucas Frye : No. I don't mean "Oh, dear, you're not in the morgue". I mean "Oh, dear, how embarrassing".

    Peter Duckham : Well, I was embarrassed actually. I mean, I had to... You know, I had to drop my trousers in front of a doctor and six student nurses.

    Lucas Frye : And despite your insistence to the contrary, I suppose they found no evidence of the tiniest little prick.

  • Lucas Frye : Don't you want to know who tried to kill me?

    Peter Duckham : I don't really care. I just wish they'd hurry up and do it.
