- Honesty Evans: [to the Sergeant of Dragoons] Last time I saw a mouth like yours, it had a fish hook in it!
- Captain Tennant: [posing as Vincent's brother] My purpose in coming here is not to discuss my brother's character, nor even the circumstances of his arrest, but to ask why he is imprisoned here?
- Lieutenant-Colonel Ward: Because he was arrested by my men.
- Captain Tennant: And when will he be transferred to the civil authority?
- Lieutenant-Colonel Ward: When it is convenient.
- Captain Tennant: This is monstrous!
- Lieutenant-Colonel Ward: [oily grin] No sir, it is the law.
- Sir Paul Fisher: Mr. Vincent. Have they released you? I find that hard to believe.
- Jack Vincent: Someone left the door open. Do you find that hard to believe?
- Sir Paul Fisher: Almost impossible.
- [last lines]
- Captain Tennant: Remember, if you get caught running contraband, expect no help from us.
- Jack Vincent: What if I'm caught by the French?
- Captain Tennant: Expect to be shot.
- Jack Vincent: So one way or the other, I can't expect much, can I?
- Captain Tennant: Good luck, Lieutenant.
