Bosch

Just Around the Corner (2012)

Actors: Anya Noakes (miscellaneous crew), Sanjeev Bhaskar (actor), James Bolam (actor), James Fleet (actor), Jimmy Mulville (producer), Angelica Pressello (miscellaneous crew), Guy Jenkin (director), Guy Jenkin (writer), Andy Hamilton (director), Andy Hamilton (writer), Mark Everson (editor), William Webb (editor), Daisy Beaumont (actress), Harriet Lawrence (miscellaneous crew), Robert Lever (costume designer),

Plot: In the not to distant future the globe has warmed and the economy has collapsed. James fleet plays his usual buffoon self, and James Bolam plays his usual cantankerous old geezer. In this pilot, where floods keep depositing bodies and the local war Lord (who is a lady) goes round pinching other girls boy friends, tries to get our hero (Fleet) to teach her new "friend" to read. This was a little hit and miss, but with Andy Hamilton at the tiller, and Sanjeev Bhaskar as the neighbour, I have hopes that it will get better.

Quotes:

Nicholas "Nick" Roth: [on the phone to Duncan] I know the boss will be so relieved to know that everything is going just fine. He was awfully upset about that little fiasco yesterday. I know you did everything you could to make us look bad. Anyway, I just wanted to call and tell you it's a great day to be me, mostly because I'm not you.

Duncan: There's a fine line between luck and skill.::Nicholas "Nick" Roth: In fact, there's no line at all.

Claire Kelsky: It's not about money, it's about perception of strength.

Duncan: Now that we've thanked our foot soldier for the invaluable work contributed here today, please dismiss yourself.::Claire Kelsky: Fuck you!::Duncan: You know the boss and I have some important financial matters to discuss. Numbers? You know, things you wouldn't understand.

Claire Kelsky: Alright boys, I'm in. [sitting down to play poker]::Bosch: I could use the challenge... take anymore from these boys and I'm gonna own 'em outright.

Nicholas "Nick" Roth: The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.::Kitty: Thoreau.::Nicholas "Nick" Roth: Amazing.::Kitty: I'm surprised you talk to me.::Nicholas "Nick" Roth: Well, the boss does not see in me the same threat he sees in other men.::Kitty: Why? You don't like girls?::Nicholas "Nick" Roth: [pause] My medications have taken their toll.

Kitty: They're just tools for the boss, they have no idea how badly they're being used.::Nicholas "Nick" Roth: Everyone is a tool for someone. The thing to consider is what exactly one should be used for.

[the boss bursts into the room and breaks up a loud argument among his henchmen at the poker table]::The Boss: What the fuck is going on?::Ives: Somebody was cheating, boss.::The Boss: Yeah, well of course somebody was cheating, you're a bunch of fucking criminals. That is precisely why this always happens.

Duncan: [sighs] It's nice to see you, Kitty. [pause] Now we haven't spoken for a while. How was your day?::[Kitty shrugs]::Duncan: [speaking as if he were Kitty] It was fine, Duncan. I mean it was just like yesterday and the day before that. So, slowly I work up the courage to run away, but I never get quite enough courage to run really far away. And then someone is sent, and I'm brought back, and I'm noticed by the boss, but it's only to punish me for running away because how does that reflect on him? [tears well up in Kitty's eyes as Duncan continues] And then I'm back to sitting in my niche and bettering myself with books that no one I know can possibly appreciate. I find myself hating them... more... and more... until I think... umm, maybe it's time to run away again.::[Kitty sniffles]::Duncan: Now that sounds like a bad day, Kitty.

[Jimmy tries in vain to prove his manhood to his father's henchmen by describing in detail the new pistol he's just acquired]::Nicholas "Nick" Roth: Do they make them for men?
