Quotes4

  • Turner: Paris, eh? You're stepping out, Holland. Wonderful, isn't it, what a little extra money will do?
  • Henry Holland: Yes, it's going to make a big difference to me.
  • [on the day before Holland and his associates are to carry out the robbery, he has a chat with his boss Turner, who thinks that the subject is over Holland's forthcoming promotion]
  • Turner: And, erm, here's the order for tomorrow's consignment. Somewhat larger that I expected: 212 bars.
  • Henry Holland: That won't worry me, sir.
  • Turner: Dependable to the last. I'm going to miss you, Holland.
  • Henry Holland: You're very kind, sir. I shall always have the happiest memories of the dear old bullion office.
  • Turner: Has Mr. Applecrumby spoken to you about your holiday?
  • Henry Holland: Yes, sir. I'm going to Paris.
  • Turner: Paris, hey? You're stepping out, Holland. Wonderful isn't it, what a little extra money will do?
  • Henry Holland: Yes, it's going to make a big difference to me.
  • [just as he is planning the robbery, Holland is told that he is being promoted to another department]
  • Henry Holland: I'm too old to change my views now, sir.
  • Turner: Nonsense. You're never too old to better oneself. Think of what you can do with an extra 15 shillings a week.
  • Henry Holland: But sir, I like the bullion office. It holds all I ever wished for.
  • Turner: The trouble with you, Holland, if I may speak frankly, is that you do not have enough ambition. When a good opportunity comes along grab it with both hands. May not occur again.
  • Henry Holland: Very good, sir. I'll follow your advice.
  • [Holland leaves in order to put his plans for the robbery into motion]
  • Turner: The trouble with you, Holland, is that you haven't enough ambition.
