  Arthur Shelby : It's not for me...

• Jimmy McCavern : You know, it's a pity. I was lookin' forward to killin' you.

  Thomas Shelby : You're at the back of a long queue.

  Jimmy McCavern : My white flag is a flag of truce. Yours is more a flag of surrender.

  Thomas Shelby : Whatever you say, Mr. McCavern. The colour is the same, the outcome is the same. I believe we have friends in common. We should postpone our war.

  Jimmy McCavern : Your brother left me a hand grenade.

  Thomas Shelby : He sends his apologies. You left me land mines.

  Jimmy McCavern : For which I, too, apologise.

  Thomas Shelby : Then peace it is.

  Jimmy McCavern : Your message said you wanted to seal our truce with some business.

  Thomas Shelby : Since we're men of similar interests and distribution networks, I thought we might use our temporary settlement for our mutual benefit.

  Jimmy McCavern : You stand in a yard full of scrap metal and stolen goods, and you talk like a politician.

  Thomas Shelby : No, nothing here is stolen, Mr. McCavern. Charlie simply finds things before they're lost. The nature of the deal is explained in my proposal.

  [he hands Jimmy an envelope] 

  Thomas Shelby : I've booked you a suite at the Midland Hotel. If you need anything in this city, just mention my name.

  Thomas Shelby : Isaiah!

  [Isaiah steps out from behind a nearby tree holding a rifle] 

  Thomas Shelby : Also in the envelope is a cheque for 500 pound for your wife. She can use it to buy a black dress and a black horse with black feathers to pull a black carriage with your body in it, should you break the terms of the white flag. Now please, enjoy the city it's my honour to represent.

  Ada Shelby : Seven tons?

  Thomas Shelby : Yeah, i would hate for it to run out.

• Aberama Gold : When you check that little stopwatch you've got that controls the turning of the earth?

• Aberama Gold : Does you vanity have no limits?

  Thomas Shelby : I believe it's called the ego, these days.

• Thomas Shelby : Always have your whores searched at the door.

  Finn Shelby : [to Chang]  If I see that bitch on the street, I'll fucking cut her, yeah?
