Johnny Worricker
- Johnny Worricker: Believe it or not, it's quite unusual to be approached by someone who claims to know you when they don't. That's why I went; I was intrigued; if I'd known one of the party was going to be killed, I wouldn't have gone.
- Jim Carroll: I dare say neither would he.
- Jim Carroll: Do you understand the constitution of these islands? Did you know that Turks and Caicos is a Crown protectorate?
- Johnny Worricker: I think I do, yes.
- Jim Carroll: And the currency is American but the jurisdiction is British. We trade in the dollar and kneel to the Crown.
- Johnny Worricker: Yeah, what you might call the worst of both worlds.
- Gary Bethwaite: Dido is a difficult man, going through a difficult time.
- Johnny Worricker: What sort of time?
- Gary Bethwaite: Oh, the recession.
- Johnny Worricker: Ah, the recession, I see. No recession and he would have been pleasanter, would he?
- Jim Carroll: In a few days there's going to be this international colloquium. And this place'll be crawling with rich and powerful people, the world's leading business people and politicians.
- Johnny Worricker: What, four days in the sun and they conclude that global recovery depends on their making more money?
- Johnny Worricker: Whatever happened to the idea of shame?
- Curtis Pelissier: Shame... went the way of honour. Didn't it?
- Curtis Pelissier: It's been a fascinating few years, you could say, since 9-11. You know how many Americans now work in intelligence?
- Johnny Worricker: I don't know.
- Curtis Pelissier: Over two hundred thousand, in sixteen different agencies, with thirty thousand private contractors in a hundred and seventy countries, at a grand cost to the taxpayer of seventy-five *billion* dollars a year, and they still call it the intelligence community! I don't think so.
- Johnny Worricker: You haven't met. This is my friend, Margot Tyrrell.
- Margot Tyrrell: Hello.
- Johnny Worricker: This is Jim Carroll. He's a policeman.
- Jim Carroll: Show me your passport.
- [reads from the passport]
- Jim Carroll: "Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely, without hindrance, and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary." These *are* British islands. And you're holding British passports. You're free to go.
- Johnny Worricker: Have you ever known anyone who didn't hurt you?
- Melanie Fall: I-I have to go to the bathroom. Too much beer!
- [she runs away, crying]
