- Mattie O'Brien: Are you coming tonight?
- Doctor Lucien Blake: I'll be busy.
- Mattie O'Brien: Doing what?
- Doctor Lucien Blake: Haven't decided.
- Gus Hawting: Looks like he was tortured.
- Doctor Lucien Blake: Oh, come on. What self-respecting torturer would focus all of his attention on the forearms and leave the genitals untouched.
- Gus Hawting: Do you know a self-respecting torturer?
- Doctor Lucien Blake: Once upon a time I knew a whole squad of them.
- Doctor Lucien Blake: You know, I was listening to Dick on the wireless.
- Doctor Lucien Blake: [to Richard Lambeth] You don't mind if I call you Dick, do you? Of course not.
- Doctor Lucien Blake: [back to crowd] Um, listening to Dick on the wireless, he was talking about the terrific work the poms are doing in Singapore since the war. Of course, that depends on how you define famine, neglect and revenge killing, really, but none of that, none of that is Dick's fault, of course; so, let's give him another round of applause! Whadda ya say?
