- Zilpha Geary: I'm planning to journey to heaven, James. I've realized the truth. My cage is my flesh, I can shed it. The River Thames will take me to God. Death is just the turning of a key in a lock. Whether God will accept me is another matter, perhaps my husband will have spoken of my betrayal. Or perhaps my feelings for you, unforgivable feelings for you, will mean the Thames will take me to a different place. Whatever my destination, if you survive your recklessness, please, keep some part of my soul inside your own.
- Solomon Coop: Your Highness, there is little doubt in my mind that senior directors of the East India have done a deal with Delaney.
- Prince Regent: Just fucking kill him!
- Solomon Coop: If he dies, the Nootka goes to the Americans, as per his will.
- Prince Regent: Fuck Nootka! Fuck wills, treaties. I'm the head of fucking state. And by the command of his majesty, kill him.
- Atticus: If it was down to me, you'd have been dead long ago. Delaney orders you shouldn't be harmed. There's still plenty of cocks left for you to suck.
- Wilton: What is the official reason for sending two Company dray carts to Bedlam Insane Asylum?
- Sir Stuart Strange: Because this whole thing is insane... Because this day is insane... because Delaney is insane... Because I am insane!
