Danny Hunter quotes from Spooks

Danny Hunter

What makes you think she'll speak to you in person:

Danny

[tied to a chair] You will never win. If I'd been born somewhere else... it might have been me holding the gun now. If you'd been born somewhere else, it might have been you sitting where I am. For all your talk about choices. We don't get to choose those things. But I guess... you're just unlucky because somehow... you've lost your humanity and now have no kindness or pity left in you. But I still have those things. Acts of hatred also produce acts of love, so you, my friend, will never win.

Zoe

Lots of men. It's always men. Have you ever made anyone pregnant?

Danny

What's that got to do with you?

Zoe

Didn't think so.

I have a camp bed. I heard you were looking for somewhere to sleep. In town.

Zoe

To..to rent? A room, preferably, Malcolm.

Oh, well, I have a camp bed.

Danny

[To Zoe] Don't burn your bridges.

Tom

What we need is good old-fashioned human intelligence.

Danny

You won't find any of that in here.

Tom

You'd be surprised.

Danny

I've always said, never trust what anyone tells you, especially if you're paying.

Tom

Fair enough. Nice jacket, by the way.

Danny

Thanks.

Danny Hunter

[to Oliver Mace] You've got some kind of hidden agenda here..

Harry Pearce

[arriving in doorway] If there is to be an agenda, it will be mine. Oliver, we speak now. Or must I embarrass you before junior personnel?

Harry Pearce

What are you doing?

Danny Hunter

Texting Tom.

Harry Pearce

Don't send that, I don't want him here.

Danny Hunter

Aww damn.

Harry Pearce

What?

Danny Hunter

It went... when we bumped.

Danny

Harry. Why are we investigating this? It’s . . . It’s a police job.

Harry

Do you understand atomic theory? Quantum mechanics? How there are six extra dimensions and infinite universes parallel to this one?

Danny

No.

Harry

Nor do I. I don’t understand politics either.
