Lovejoy · Season 1
Uncle Ricky always pays you cash.
I didn't come for your terrible beer.
You're a snob, Lovejoy.
Not where cash is concerned.
[as he is sitting at a bar] Can you hear me?
I not only can hear you, Lovejoy, I can see both of you.
[to Lovejoy] For someone as unprincipled as you, you do have remarkable principles!
[Noticing Lovejoy is awed by his collection of art] You're impressed, Mr. 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.
Blond, sleek, casually but immaculately dressed, blue eyes, cool expression yet with a hint of a sensual smile. I vaguely recollect you.
Why does Lovejoy spend half his life in seedy rooms, doing seedy deals with seedy people?
He's good at it.
[to Tink] Hello, Tink. What are you doing here? The bars are open.
I never hit a man when someone can do it better.
You know what they say: a great fake must be better than the original.
Is there something in Venice that makes people talk like Shakespeare?
[Aside to audience, about his unjust sentence on prison farm] You could argue, I suppose, that I've done a few shady things in the past, so it all equals out, but you didn't have to spend eight months here sleeping next to a tattooed biker called Mavis.
[to Lovejoy] You've always been broke, and you've always had a tarnished reputation.
You see he's always promised it to this ghastly lady novelist, Harriet Barker.
Oh, I read one of her novels in the nick. Torrid stuff, Jance. Eeech! There's so much sex she obviously wasn't getting any.
You take as long as you want. I'm used to killing time.
