Sean Scanlan: Joe

Quotes 

• Det. Sgt. Hobson : [Building a case against Det. Insp. Forrest but not prepared to reveal his identity at this stage]  Supposing it came to your attention that a senior police officer in this division was guilty of corruption.

  Joe : [Unsurprised]  So what's new?

  Ben : You've got evidence?

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : I have reasonable grounds for suspicion.

  Ben : Who is it?

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : I can't say.

  Joe : Mr Forrest?

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : [Insistent]  I can't say!

  Ben : [to Joe]  It'll be Mr Forrest.

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : I didn't say that.

  Joe : But it will be Mr Forrest - he's as bent as a five-bob note.

  Ben : It's a well-known fact.

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : Both of you know the area, you know how the Force operates. If I've got information, what shall I do?

  Joe : Professionally-speaking you've got a choice, haven't you?

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : Have I?

  Ben : If you want to 'shop' Mr Forrest.

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : It's nothing to do with Mr Forrest!

  Ben : Parcel up your evidence, tie it with pink ribbon, take it to the Chief Constable.

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : Is he honest?

  Joe : [Hinting at institutionalized corruption across the police force]  Apparently. He's done well... considering!

  Ben : That's your Plan 'A'. Then there's Plan 'B'...

  Joe : Parcel up your evidence, tie it with pink ribbon, take it to Mr Forrest.

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : It isn't Mr Forrest!

  Joe : [Ignoring the denial]  Demand your share of the action!

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : Demand what?

  Ben : Get him to cut you in.

  Joe : A place on the board.

  Ben : Make him an offer he can't refuse.

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : That's outrageous!

  Ben : It's practical.

  Joe : You'd have our backing.

  Ben : You could even use Plan 'C'.

  Joe : [Explaining]  The three of us could go to Mr Forrest.

  Ben : All three of us could grab some of the benefits of his corruption.

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : Don't be ridiculous!

  Joe : One for all and all for one!

  Ben : We just want to make the streets of our city safe for children and old-age pensioners.

  Det. Sgt. Hobson : What's that got to do with it?

  Joe : It's what we're here for, sunbeam.

  Ben : And we're entitled to our just rewards.
