It's no good sitting there in hope, my little brothers... I won't say a single solitary slovo unless I have my lawyer here! I know the law, you bastards.

Inspector

Righty-right, Tom. We'll have to show our little friend Alex, here, that we know the law, too. But that knowing the law isn't everything.

Dear, dear, this boy does look a mess, doesn't he? Just look at the state of him.

Policeman

Love's young nightmare, like.

Inspector

Violence makes violence. He resisted his lawful arrestors.

Well, this is the end of the line for me, eh? The end of the line, yes!

Policeman 1

Love's young nightmare, like.

Inspector

Violence makes violence. He resisted his lawful arrestors.

Hmm, this is the end of the line for me. The end of the line, yes!

It wasn't me, brother, sir. Speak up for me, sir, for I'm not so bad. I was led on by the treachery of others, sir.

Policeman 1

Sings the roof off lovely, he does that. [laughs]

And what of my stinking traitorous droogs? Get them before they get away! It was all their idea, brothers! They forced me to do it! I'm innocent!

[laughs mockingly]

You are now a murderer, little Alex. A murderer!

Not true, sir. It was only a slight tolchock. She were breathing, I swear it!

I've just come from the hospital. Your victim has died!

You try to frighten me. Admit so, sir. This is some new form of torture. Say it, brother, sir!

It'll be your own torture. I hope to God it'll torture you to madness.

Policeman 2
[to Deltoid]

If you'd care to give him a bash in the chops, sir, don't mind us. We'll hold him down. He must be a great disappointment to you, sir.
[Deltoid spits in Alex's face]
