Quotes:

Henry Holland: I was a potential millionaire, yet I had to be satisfied with eight pounds, fifteen shillings, less deductions.

Neighbor: Ah, Holland, heh heh, the man of millions! What'd you get away with today? Got any spare ingots for an old pal? Ha ha, you'll be the death of me, Holland!::Henry Holland: I sincerely trust so.

[Henry Holland is reading aloud to the elderly Mrs. Chalk from a book titled YOU'D LOOK SWELL IN A SHROUD]::Henry Holland: Where did we get?::Mrs. Chalk: Duke Milligan was about to take a gander at Mickey the Greek's hideout.::Henry Holland: Oh yes, here we are. "I handed my fedora to a hatcheck girl with all that Venus de Milo had got and then more, and I was admiring the more when I glimpsed something in the back of this frail that set my underwear creeping up on me like it had legs."::Mrs. Chalk: I know that feeling well.::Henry Holland: "A guy had soft-shoed out of the door from the gaming room as quiet as a snake on tip-belly, and I didn't need my case history of Smiling Abe Montana to know that sonny boy was his number-one triggerman, Ricky the Filipino."::Mrs. Chalk: I thought it was Little Boy Shultz who carried the rod for Mr. Montana.::Henry Holland: It was, Mrs. Chalk, but surely you remember? Montana found Shultz taking liberties with that lady.::Mrs. Chalk: Yes, yes, they took him for a ride. Only last night, wasn't it? Oh, I must be getting old. Read on, Mr. Holland.

Pendlebury: I propagate British cultural depravity.

Pendlebury: Guns, yes. It's essential we're armed. Here we are. Here's yours.::Henry Holland: Is it loaded?::Pendlebury: Yes. It's a present from Margate. It fires a stick of rock.

Henry Holland: I must apologize, gentlemen, for the somewhat informal manner in which we effected our introduction, but my colleague and I have a certain proposition which we'd like to put to you. I might almost call it a gilt-edged proposition, although paradoxically it does entail a measure of risk. However, when I quote the anticipated dividend, I'm sure that you will both agree with me that the...::[There is a noise at the open window]::Pendlebury: Not another one, surely.::Henry Holland: Tell him we're suited.

Turner: Paris, eh? You're stepping out, Holland. Wonderful, isn't it, what a little extra money will do?::Henry Holland: Yes, it's going to make a big difference to me.

[on the day before Holland and his associates are to carry out the robbery, he has a chat with his boss Turner, who thinks that the subject is over Holland's forthcoming promotion]::Turner: And, erm, here's the order for tomorrow's consignment. Somewhat larger that I expected: 212 bars.::Henry Holland: That won't worry me, sir.::Turner: Dependable to the last. I'm going to miss you, Holland.::Henry Holland: You're very kind, sir. I shall always have the happiest memories of the dear old bullion office.::Turner: Has Mr. Applecrumby spoken to you about your holiday?::Henry Holland: Yes, sir. I'm going to Paris.::Turner: Paris, hey? You're stepping out, Holland. Wonderful isn't it, what a little extra money will do?::Henry Holland: Yes, it's going to make a big difference to me.

[just as he is planning the robbery, Holland is told that he is being promoted to another department]::Henry Holland: I'm too old to change my views now, sir.::Turner: Nonsense. You're never too old to better oneself. Think of what you can do with an extra 15 shillings a week.::Henry Holland: But sir, I like the bullion office. It holds all I ever wished for.::Turner: The trouble with you, Holland, if I may speak frankly, is that you do not have enough ambition. When a good opportunity comes along grab it with both hands. May not occur again.::Henry Holland: Very good, sir. I'll follow your advice.::[Holland leaves in order to put his plans for the robbery into motion]
