Jack Carter
- A pint of bitter [snaps fingers as barman walks away] in a thin glass.
- [To Brumby] You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.
- [To Margaret] Listen, the only reason I came back to this crap house is to find out who did it. And I'm not leaving till I do.
- [To Eric] You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow.
- I'm going to sit in the car and whistle Rule Britannia.
Cyril Kinnear
- You don't give a man like Jack a drink in those piddly little glasses. Give him the bloody bottle.
