Lovejoy

I wish you wouldn't drink while I drive.

Who are you to talk to me like that?

Who do I have to be to talk to you like that?

[to Lady Jane about Lovejoy's car] Between you and ma, your Ladyship, the only genuine antique around here is that car!

[Opening the door of his trailer and seeing Lovejoy] Lovejoy! What's the matter? Are you an insomniac or something?

Lovejoy

Nine o'clock, Cuthie. Time all honest men were up.

Well, that let's you and me out then, doesn't it?

Eric Catchpole

We shouldn't be out in the country piddling around like this. We should be back home trying to make a dishonest living.

Lovejoy

Eric, do you ever get the feeling you've been someplace before?

Eric Catchpole

Yeah, I went to this Judas Priest concert last year, and I thought, 'Eric, you've been here before.'

Just deja vu.

Eric Catchpole

Well, not really. I'd been to see Iron Maiden there the month before.

What camps?

I didn't come for your terrible beer.

You're a snob, Lovejoy.

Lovejoy

Not where cash is concerned.

[as he is sitting at a bar] Can you hear me?

Tinker Dill

I not only can hear you, Lovejoy, I can see both of you.

[Noticing Lovejoy is awed by his collection of art] You're impressed, Mr. Lovejoy?

Lovejoy

Oh, antiques are my drugs. I just OD'd.

[Drinking and eating rather sloppily at Janes's table] I made a date with the girl who works in the bar. [Gesturing her breast size with his hands] She's got fantastic knockers!

[Slightly embarrassed, to Jane] Don't worry. He won't be staying to dinner.

[on the phone] Yes, well my name's Caterina Norman.

Lovejoy

Blond, sleek, casually but immaculately dressed, blue eyes, cool expression yet with a hint of a sensual smile. I vaguely recollect you.
