To Catch a Rat (1976)

Edward Judd: Cromwell

Quotes 

• Irwin Gunner : [on radio]  White Rat, this message is for you. Now I know what I'm up against. I'd forgotten how quickly rats breed. How many of you now? A whole department?

  Cromwell : [to operator]  Try and get a fix.

  Irwin Gunner : Rats can hide. But not from me, we both know that, don't we? I've put my mark on you. I'm going to cut off your tail. Destroy you.

• Purdey : You play rough, Mr. Cromwell.

  Cromwell : [pouring a drink]  You play rougher, Purdey.

  Purdey : I wasn't playing.

  Cromwell : Nor I, skoll.

  [they clink] 

  Purdey : Cheers.

  Cromwell : [slight pause]  Well, know what?

  Purdey : [looks him up and down]  I think you'd better take your trousers off.
