Grim quotes from The Thin Blue Line

Grim

He's slippery. Like an owl.

Grim

Local delinquents nick the cars and flog 'em on to Mr. Big. He's out there somewhere - a fat cat spinning his web with his tentacles in every pie.

Shouldn't be too difficult to spot then.

Grim

Bleeding ballet an' opera. Especially when they spend lottery money on it; wasting the working man's bet on fat screeching old bags from Italy singing like they've got piles. Or some bunch of scrawny bints in tutus called Darcy and Tilda flashing their gussets at a lot of horny perverts. Art? Culture? Staring at posh bird's knickers, that's all Swan bleeding Lake boils down to! They should use all the money for kids with incurable diseases. When me and my Tina buy our lottery ticket, out of the goodness of our hearts...

Fowler

And in the hope of winning twenty million pounds.

Grim

Yes, and we want to know that, by winning twenty million pounds, we will be helping little kiddies, NOT haughty, hoity, stick it up your toity, high and mighty, tight-nosed, toffee-arsed, sun-dried-tomato-eating lah-de-dah-dy lah-de-daas.

Who are you?

You dinged my Aston.

Grim

Do you drive an Aston Martin?

A DINGED Aston Martin, dinged by you.

You dinged me.

I did not! You dinged me!

Grim

No way, mate! You dinged me!

Learn to drive, why don't you?

You learn to drive.

GET...A HEARING AID!
