Green for Danger quotes

The police force has not a monopoly of fallen arches, Dr. Barnes - ask any chiropodist.

You seen Barney?

Nurse Linley

No. I don't know what to do about him.

Isn't it time you made up your mind?

Nurse Linley

He's behaving so ridiculously.

I don't blame him: he's in love with you. Don't blame him for that either.

Nurse Linley

Oughtn't we to go back?

Why? It's a lovely night.

Nurse Linley

We're still suspects.

That's a very good thought to escape from.

[stunned]

What?

What are you getting at?

You'll find out. I'm going to join them.

I gave nitrous oxide at first, to get him under.

Oh yes, stuff the dentist gives you, hmmm — commonly known as "laughing gas".

Used to be — actually the impurities cause the laughs.

Oh, just the same as in our music halls.

Dr. White

I do hope everything can be arranged discreetly.

Umm, shouldn't think so for a moment.

Dr. White

Why not? Press? Do they have to be seen?

Can't keep 'em out.

Dr. White

Oh, dear.

I don't mind; they always give me a good write-up.

[last lines] [dictating]

In view of my failure — correction, comparative failure — I feel that I have no alternative but to offer you, sir, my resignation, in the sincere hope that you will not accept it. Full stop.
