PETER quotes from Stingers

PETER

Mac, We all live lies. Some of us are just more honest about it.

OSCAR

We've been talking about you

PETER

Well there you go

MAC

The male ego never ceases to amaze me

PETER

What’s wrong with the male ego

MAC

I'm not allowed to say - secret woman’s business, it's how we stay on top

PETER

Been taking those Germaine Greer tablets again

MAC

*confused* Pardon

PETER

You're showing your age you know

Hey wanker, how’s the eye

Who’s that friggin smartass

Don't worry I won't tell a soul

PETER

Don't worry he's a cop

PETER

I'm working Dickhead

PETER

Authentic enough for you

PETER

I'm not wearing a wire

MAC

Then how can we back you up

PETER

From a distance

MAC

I don't like it

PETER

I'm playing it safe

That’s a matter of opinion

MAC

You're aiding and abetting a robbery I'm not even sure if it's the right way to go

PETER

Were not arresting anyone... I'm um…. bonding. Isn't that what you wanted

then take em to a footy match

Come on we're on a roll. I'm in on a robbery, thumped a cop

MAC

I want you to wear a wire

Get your gear off

Ron, what are you doing

What if he's a pig

He's a thieving bastard

He's a smart thieving bastard, get your gear off

PETER

See anything you like

Nah you’re not my type

ANGIE

Oi Church! Step out of the fast lane you nearly ran be over back there!

PETER

I need the attention. You’ve been ignoring me lately.

ANGIE

I think you can live without my acknowledgement.

PETER

Yeah, but life wouldn’t be so sweet.

ANGIE

You know I think that outfit is beginning to affect your personality.

PETER

Yeah, how’s that?

ANGIE

Well you’re becoming a legend in your own spiffy suit.

ANGIE

Before you know it you’ll be bulldozing national trust buildings.

PETER

Yeah, maybe a really old one.

Oh, you’re a worry.

PETER

And you reckon I’m good at this job.

Come on, Pete.

PETER

Never ends, does it.

MAC

What are we doing Peter?

PETER

Having a rest. We just earned it.

MAC

I’m not talking about that!

PETER

Well what are you talking about?

MAC

The future.

PETER

What about the future?

MAC

We don't have one.

PETER

No future, no past. Isn't that what it’s supposed to be?

MAC

Mmm yeah.

Peter, where are you off to?

PETER

Somewhere dark and quiet with cold beer, where I can lick my wounds and dream about boats...

Boats?

PETER

You treat 'em right and they whisper sweet nothings in your ear and rock you gently to sleep...

I hate to think you two are breaking the cardinal rule and socializing together when you’re off duty.

PETER

Come on Bernie, you know we’ve hardly got a social word for one another.

Yeah well who ever said that business and pleasure don't mix was right on the money.

MAC

Absolutely.

PETER

No question.

MAC

Night Bernie.

PETER

See you.

PETER

So you’re screwing her?

OSCAR

Wha…?

PETER

Peaches and cream, the English rose...

OSCAR

Hannah?

PETER

(copying him) Hannah, yes Hannah!

OSCAR

She’s got nothing to do with Jeremy.

PETER

She shares his house!

OSCAR

But…It’s a living arrangement, they do the cleaning, cook him meals.

PETER

Come on.

OSCAR

Hey she’s how I made the contact; she’s how I got his trust.

PETER

So leave it at that.

OSCAR

Don’t I get a personal life?

PETER

Not on the boss’s time. She thinks you live in Queensland.

PETER

She thinks you sell boats, she’s half thinking of joining you in Byron Bay! Are you comfortable with that?

OSCAR

No not entirely. Come on Church you know how it is. You develop a cover you play the part, you almost think its true.

PETER

Except she’s the one you’re meant to fool! Finish it before you stuff the operation.

PETER

Chalk and cheese ay!

MAC

(Turns to face him) Don’t take me so literally Peter I was just building a cover story!

PETER

For the record, I don’t really prefer life by myself...

MAC

Well...like I said, who knows what’ll happen!

PETER

What are we stopping here for?

MAC

It’s a railway station.

PETER

Don’t I get a lift home?

MAC

Not tonight Peter. (Pete glances in the rear vision mirror and sees that IA guys are following them)

PETER

You got to be joking. What does this dog want?

MAC

Who knows, maybe they’re just fishing.

PETER

Bullshit, I hope its nothing to do with the buy.

MAC

What do you mean?

PETER

I don't know, I don't trust Mooney.

MAC

You get the report back from the lab?

PETER

Yeah, 97%

MAC

That’s pure.

PETER

Mmm something’s still not right though.

MAC

Been any complaints?

PETER

I’ve got a complaint, you’ve been ignoring me.

MAC

Go home Peter, abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.

PETER

I haven’t had a drop for 24 hours.

MAC

You better go.

PETER

When this is over, it won’t be soon enough.

PETER

Hello Dad.

What the hell do you want? Piss off.

PETER

Dad, I wanted to come...

I don't care what you want. Piss off.

Leo

"Why, Whats Walken got that I haven't got?"

Peter

"Money... Power... a sense of danger"

Leo

"I've got that!!"
