- [Percy talks to himself in a concerned and excited manner moments before his capture]
- Percy Toplis: Here it comes. Everything comes. Everything. Never ready for it, though, are you? Funny thing is, when I had nothing to lose, I always won.
- [Percy has just been sent down for two years at Lincoln prison, England, when he was possibly innocent]
- Percy Toplis: Fair enough. It was all I expected, you stupid old fart. Two years. Two years for nothing! It was her! Bloody nothing! Well, you ask her! Get off! Justice, my arse.
- Annie Webster: D'you *really* have to go back next week?
- Percy Toplis: [dejectedly] Aye
- Percy Toplis: [defiantly] But I'm buggered if I will.
- Miss Cruikshank: Before you go, I hope you do realise that I will never forget what you've done for me today. It was an act of great kindness.
- Percy Toplis: No, no. I assure you it wasn't.
