• Duncan McLeod : Morning, Jane. Lovely morning.

  Jane Foster : Good morning, Mr McLeod.

  Duncan McLeod : Did I mention that my other name was Duncan?

  Jane Foster : I believe you did. I don't remember mentioning that mine was Jane.

  Duncan McLeod : Obviously an oversight

  Jane Foster : [looking at him painting]  I'm glad to see that you do something else besides smuggling.

  Duncan McLeod : Oh, yes.

  Jane Foster : Why do you smuggle?

  Duncan McLeod : Keeps me out of mischief. I'm afraid you take rather a poor view of me, don't you?

  Jane Foster : Possibly. It's quite a normal view to take of people who break laws. I mean, willfully break them.

  Duncan McLeod : Trying to tell me you've never broken one yourself?

  Jane Foster : What do you mean by that?

  Duncan McLeod : Well we all do from time to time, don't we? Some more than others. You know - extra rations, dodging income tax and so forth. Quite human little failings really.

  Jane Foster : Does smuggling liquor across the Channel come under the category of a human little failing?

  Duncan McLeod : Oh, definitely.

  Jane Foster : If you ever get caught, I hope the Customs authorities take the same view.

  Duncan McLeod : Thank you! Didn't think you cared that much.

  Jane Foster : I don't! If you want the truth, Mr McLeod, I hate people like you. You don't smuggle because you need the money, you do it out of bravado; because you think it's smart to get away with something.

  Duncan McLeod : I wouldn't say that...

  Jane Foster : Your worse than a real crook because you can look at what you're doing objectively and know that it's wrong. You think it's a good joke. But it's not. It's bad...

  Duncan McLeod : You look wonderful!

  Jane Foster : You make me quite sick, Mr McLeod!
