Quotes 

• Assistant Commissioner : [on discovering that Bob has just inherited a title and an estate]  I shall be sorry to see you go, my boy.

  Bob : Go? You're not going to through me out just because I'm an earl! Oh, be reasonable, sir. I not only need my job, I want promotion to keep up the family ruins! Don't let me down now that I'm up in the world!

• Assistant Commissioner : You're a policeman. You're not supposed to like anyone.

• Assistant Commissioner : Don't be a fool, Deering. It's not often a policeman comes into big money - without an official enquiry.

• Assistant Commissioner : I've decided to let you go, my boy.

  Bob : Go? You're not going to throw me out just because I'm an earl. Oh, be reasonable, sir. I not only need the job, I want a promotion to keep up the family ruins. Don't let me down now that I'm up in the world.
