• Davies : Don't get confused about which side you're on.

  Detective James McParlan : I could always tell the buttered side from the dry.

• [Davies has given McParlan a beating, as part of his cover] 

  Davies : They'll respect you now. It's about the only thing they do respect round here, a blow and a hard head.

• Davies : Yes, I need them caught in the act... no chance of an alibi. And not just two of them. I want the organisation. I want it smashed. Any bastard who even dreams of making trouble, I want him to wake up sweating blood at what happened to the Molly Maguires.

  [McParlan starts to leave] 

  Davies : Not yet! I can't send you away unmarked.

  [he floors McParlan with his truncheon] 

  Detective James McParlan : [bleeding]  Well... it's a pleasure working with a man who likes his job.
