Swiftnick : [reading the writing on the wall] His hands are weak, his bellies' large, his word ain't worth a button. A nasty, twisting, oily rogue, that human dungheap, Glutton.
[all laugh]
Dick Turpin : There's the dog, immortalized in verse! Is there one about Spiker then?
Swiftnick : Yeah, but not one I can say aloud.
[Spiker stops laughing as Dick glances at the wall]
Dick Turpin : And it doesn't rhyme either.
