Quotes 

• Dempsey : I would have been a knight in shining armour.

  Dempsey : Touché.

  Makepeace : I'm sorry, I don't understand, sir.

  Spikings : Join the club, Makepeace, join the club.

• Lord Winfield : First of all, I want to know all about that awful American, that hoodlum, Dempsey they've hoisted on you.

  Makepeace : [turns around awkwardly]  Leftennant James Dempsey, Lord Winfield.

  Lord Winfield : [Dempsey slowly walks towards Winfield]  Eh, hah, how do you do? Wonderful to see you. I hope you don't think I was referring to you, heh, heh. Good lord no. No, it was some other frightful American. Another Dempsey entirely. A gorilla.

  Lord Winfield : Not like you at all.

• Makepeace : Naismith's talking to Frances Trafford.

  Dempsey : Naismith does a lot of talking. Keep your ear to the door

  Dempsey : Oh, that's great.

  Makepeace : I may not be jungle trained, but I do have ears.

• Makepeace : Now just a moment, Dempsey, I resent the way you're ordering me around in my own house. This is my territory.

  Makepeace : With what?

  Dempsey : No longer being a wealthy heiress.

  [pause] 

  Dempsey : You'll always have something to look forward to...

  Makepeace : Like what?

  Dempsey : You're policewoman's pension.
