Harold
- Pool Attendant: They kept it all incognito. They're gonna collect the body in an ice cream van.
- Harold: There's a lot of dignity in that, isn't there? Going out like a raspberry ripple.
- Harold: What I'm looking for is someone who can contribute to what England has given to the world: culture, sophistication, genius. A little bit more than an 'ot dog, know what I mean?
- Harold: Alan found him dying. He'd been nailed to the floor.
- Jeff: When was this, then?
- Harold: Well, it must've been just after you saw him and just before Alan saw him. Otherwise, you'd have noticed, wouldn't you? I mean, a geezer nailed to the floor. A man of your education would definitely have spotted that, wouldn't he?
- Harold: Remember, scare the shit out of them, but don't damage them. I want 'em conscious and talkative. And lads, try and be discreet, eh?
- Casino Manager: It was a good night. Nothing unusual.
- Harold: "Nothing unusual," he says! Eric's been blown to smithereens, Colin's been carved up, and I've got a bomb in me casino, and you say nothing unusual?
- Harold: I'm glad I found out in time just what a partnership with a pair of wankers like you would've been. A sleeping partner's one thing, but you're in a fucking coma! No wonder you got an energy crisis your side of the water!
- Harold: The days when Yanks could come over here and buy up Nelson's Column, a Harley Street surgeon and a couple of windmill girls are definitely over!
- Harold: The Yanks love snobbery. They really feel they've arrived in England if the upper class treats 'em like shit.
- Harold: No one's heard nothing? That just ain't natural. It's like one of them silent, deadly farts. No clue, and then pow, you go cross-eyed.
- Harold: Don't you ever tell me what I can or can't do! Bent law can be tolerated for as long as they're lubricating, but you have become definitely parched. If I was you, I'd run for cover and close the hatch, 'cause you're gonna wind up on one of those meat hooks, my son.
- Harold: What's happening to me? I'm sorry. For 10 years there's been calm, no trouble. Now this.
- [Victoria starts crying]
- Harold: . Listen, I wouldn't hurt you for the world.
- Victoria: I'm so scared, Harold. I don't want to die. Don't let them kill us.
- Harold: [comforting her] You won't die. It's alright. It'll be alright.
