Quotes

Norman Stanley Fletcher : [Urwin has taken a hostage and says he might go to Mexico] Funny people, Mexicans, y'know, they're very sort of... well, Mexican, I suppose would describe 'em. All the dogs limp there, y'know.
Mrs. Jamieson : I didn't know that.
Norman Stanley Fletcher : Oh, yes, well known. Yeah. It's to do with the food... A man wakes up in the mornin', he thinks about his horrible breakfast, and he kicks the dog, see.
Reg Urwin : Really? Well, I'd always fancied Mexico.
Norman Stanley Fletcher : Oh yeah? Well, contrary to popular travel brochure myth, they're not a happy people, y'know, the Mexicans. I suppose anyone that has tequila as their national drink is bent on self-destruction, e'nt they?
