4th most-quoted character in The Adventures of Tintin (2011): in 7 of its 48 quotes
I'm not a bad person! I'm a kleptomaniac.
A what?
It's a fear of open spaces.
Poor man, no wonder he keeps his wallets in the living room.
We have you now, you devil. You are under arrest!
To be precised, you're under arrest.
[Sakharine simply puts his hands in the air slowly and accepts defeat]
The victim's name was Barnaby Dawes. He was one of the top agents at Interpol. But we haven't got a clue what he was working on.
Quite right, Thompson. We're completely clueless. [Tintin: Interpol doesn't have any other leads?] Steady on, Tintin. We're still filling out the paperwork.
Police work's not all glamour and guns. There's an awful lot of filing.
Great Scotland Yard! That's extraordinary. [Tintin: What is it?] Worthington's on a half-price sale of bowler hats.
Really, Thomson? [snatches blood-stained newspaper] This is hardly the time. Great Scotland Yard!
What is it?
Canes are half-price too.
Mind you, I expect he's miles away by now.
I presume you're referring to the pickpocket?
Yes. I mean, knowing we're just a few steps behind him.
Not so loud. We're in disguise. [Tintin: So I see. You got the message I sent from the ship?] Uh, yes, well, bit of a long story, that.
The upshot is, we caught the thief, retrieved your wallet, then hopped on the next plane to Bagghar.
Yes, that pocket-picker has picked his last pocket. [gives Tintin his wallet] Here. Don't worry. He didn't take any money.
Thank you so much. No need to come in, I'll be quite all right.
No, but we insist.
Better safe than sorry. It's the least we can do.
There we are.
Good grief, what's all this?
It's my...collection?
What a lot of wallets.
I-I can't help it. It started with coin purses and sort of went on from there, really.
You ought to be careful. Haven't you heard? There's a pickpocket about.
Yes, he'd love this. Can you imagine?
What do you mean "pickpocket"?
Oh, a master criminal. A bag-snatching purse-pilfering wallet-lifting sneak thief.
I'm not a bad person! I'm a kleptomaniac.
A what?
It's a fear of open spaces.
Poor man, no wonder he keeps his wallets in the living room.
Wallets, I-I just can't resist the lovely little things. It's a-It's a harmless habit, really.
Good heavens, Thomson! Look at this! His name's Thomson too!
What a coincidence!
No, Thomson. This is Thomson without a P, as in "psychic".
No no no, it's Thompson with a P, as in "psychiatrist".
Look at this one. A green one I managed to pick this from a pickpocket actually pickpocketing at the time. A-And this one...
No, you had it wrong. There is a P in "psychic".
I am not your sidekick. You are mine.
Smell it, won't you [sniffs a wallet] Piggy leather.
How dare you!
How dare you! I met you first.
I met you first.
No you didn't.
Yes I did..
No you did not!
Yes I did!
Listen up! I can't stand it anymore. Alright, I'll come quietly. Take them. Take them! TAKE THEM ALL!
Stop it! Pull yourself together man! We can't take your wallets. Do we look like thieves?
Good heavens, Thompson. This looks familiar. Can't be.
It is.
Tintin!
