William 'The Duke' Wellington : So you wish me to be chivalrous when it suits but treat you as an equal when it does not? Are you a woman or a detective?
Eliza Scarlet : Why should there be a distinction? I would not ask you if you were a man or an inspector.
William 'The Duke' Wellington : That is completely different.
Eliza Scarlet : Enlighten me as to why?
William 'The Duke' Wellington : Well, there is a level of self-control that is vital when doing this job.
Eliza Scarlet : Self-control? You have rouge on your collar and you reek of whiskey.

Eliza Scarlet : You're right.
William 'The Duke' Wellington : Can I have that in writing?
-
William 'The Duke' Wellington : You cannot make people agree with you by killing them. I mean, we're not the French.

William 'The Duke' Wellington : Because I've seen spoilt wealthy women a great deal in my job. All of whom would have benefitted from a firmer hand from their father.

William 'The Duke' Wellington : Point proved, I think.

William 'The Duke' Wellington : I have been working a most complex investigation.

William 'The Duke' Wellington : It was a crime of passion.
Eliza Scarlet : Of course you would think that. That's the easiest option.
William 'The Duke' Wellington : Meaning what exactly?
Eliza Scarlet : Well, that you were happy to take the path of least resistance, that you increasingly rest on your laurels. That is why you resent my opinions because they stir you from a self-imposed slumber.
