Colin Maloney quotes from Torchwood

Colin Maloney

This is my first tour but I think we might get some important people wanting to visit, you know? We got a line on Hilary I'm feeling really good about.

Hillary Clinton?

Colin Maloney

Duff. Hilary Duff.

Colin Maloney

Okay, take the car. I'll walk back. You didn't see anything, okay?

Colin, you've just got to stop and think. This is murder.

Colin Maloney

No it can't be. Don't you get that? It's a brand new world, Ralph. A world without death. Which means there is no murder.

I want to see inside.

Colin

It’s just storage.

Every time I want to see anything, you turn me away. I’m here to inspect, so I am doing my job! [walks into a room full of abandoned patients] Storage... This is storage...

Colin

It’s a tempory measure. We don’t have the staff, the money or the room.

Oh my god... who are these people?!

Colin

They’re the ones without insurance.

Where are the nurses? Have they even been fed?! [to a patient] Excuse me... I’m sorry... But how long have you been here?

Yesterday... They said we had to wait...

Colin

These people are just pending... A glitch in the system.

Please... Help me.

Holy shit! He’s wearing red! He’s got a red peg! But he can’t be, he’s conscious!

Colin

So we made a mistake. Hundreds of patients, one mistake. That’s an excellent hit rate!

But you made him Category One! He’s not One, he’s nowhere near One! Don’t you realise what happens when you make somebody One?!

Colin

I think we should just step outside, we’re disturbing the patients.

What else are you hiding? [walks into the next room] This place is stinking!

Colin

America is in crisis! Someone has to take charge, and in this case, it’s me!

So you think you’re doing a good job?!

Colin

I’m under budget!

You’re supposed to spend the money-! Oh, for God’s sake, that’s why this system is never going to work, because it’s always run by men like you!

Colin

So, what are you going to do, report me?!

I’m going do more than that! I’m going to have you prosecuted…

Colin

Oh, you’re so full of it!

You’re going to be prosecuted for causing harm to these people in your care, and you will be guilty as charged. I guarantee you’re going to jail, you stupid little man. I’m going see you inside a prison cell, you little coward.

Someone's breached the compound, someone with a camera.

Colin Maloney

[panicked, in denial] No, no, no. Nothing's going wrong. Nothing, nothing, nothing.

He wants to talk to whoever's in charge.

Colin Maloney

No, he doesn't. No, no, no, he doesn't.

Rex

They built ovens. And you're the director. So you know that.

Colin Maloney

I'm not in charge of policy. We had instructions that got sent out nationwide--worldwide--and we had orders from above not to say anything. I just did as I was told.

Rex

Okay. All right. Okay, you're the middle man. I get it.
