Quotes

Simon Wellington: "You're very good at this, you should have gone into politics."

Charles Prentiss: "Well they did ask me, but uh, I wanted to work where the real power and money lay."

How many times do I have to tell you? Nobody gives a shit about the truth - that is why you employ me.
Charles Prentiss (Stephen Fry)
