Quotes7

  • Jackson Lamb: Is that Cartwright's?
  • Roddy Ho: Yeah.
  • Jackson Lamb: He's not dead, you dickhead.
  • Roddy Ho: You said he was in your text.
  • Jackson Lamb: Read it again.
  • Jackson Lamb: Because he's a joe in the field and you don't blow a joe's cover.
  • [Louder]
  • Jackson Lamb: You don't blow a joe's cover!
  • Marcus Longridge: France is big.
  • Jackson Lamb: Good work, Watson. Someone put a gold star on his chart.
  • Jackson Lamb: [after Tregorian tidies his office] I can't be in there with it like that. Put it back how it was.
  • Jackson Lamb: Oh, fuck me. Did someone fart? Only - I heard a squeak, but I can't smell anything.
  • Jackson Lamb: And when you've sorted us reprobates out, what? You go back to your throne at the Park?
  • Moira Tregorian: I wouldn't go so far as to call you reprobates.
  • Jackson Lamb: Really? Ho, Marcus Longridge, Shirley Dander. To pick three at random.
  • Moira Tregorian: Actually maybe reprobates is a bit mild.
  • [laughs]
  • Jackson Lamb: Well, I see why you're telling yourself that you're special, because the truth is too hard to accept. But I think you know that people are sent to Slough House for one of two reasons. One, they're a total fuckup. Which as you said, you're clearly not. I mean, you've reorganized my office brilliantly. And having said that, I never ever want you to step foot in there again. And two, they've unwittingly pissed someone off. So, here's the deal. I will find out why you were sent to me and then you can fuck off back to the Park. And in return, I want you to call your friends on the database and tell me when and why David Cartwright went to France at any point of his illustrious career.
  • Moira Tregorian: Okay
