Edward Woodward: Robert McCall

Quotes 

• Robert McCall : Your daughter is my concern and the world's children are *all* our concern!

• Angelica : Come on McCall, lets make love with the shades open and give a few of your yuppy neighbours a thrill.

  Robert McCall : [McCall giggles]  Mmm, Angelica do you say these sort of thing... purely out of shock value, or are you truly and really perverted.

  Angelica : Let me be the first to disappoint you, you are as bad as everybody else.

• Robert McCall : I'm looking for a girl.

  Dana : Aren't we all.

  Robert McCall : Caldrin, I need a tour of the cesspool, so naturally I thought of you. Show it to me.

  Dana : Am I supposed to be talking to you, McCall?

  Robert McCall : No no no no no apparently I am a threat to the security of this country.

  Dana : Yeah I thought I heard something about that.

• Robert McCall : So I suppose... heroes are the men who faced the most... trying situations and continue straight on. But the real hero, is the man who looks inside himself and confronts the ugliest demon his mind can create. I knew a man once. Some people called him a hero. And he fought and he er, faced dangers. He had ideals. Those Ideals lead me into anything. You see I didn't care about dying. I only cared about the cause, the cause was everything. And I fooled everybody, everybody. They all thought I was fearless, which was false. I was so frightened of showing the slightest bit of myself, the smallest amount of affection. So you see Sam, I was as frightened then, for the same degree that you are now. Only in a different way.

  [Long pause] 

  Robert McCall : I was no hero. No hero. But then I suppose being a hero is not really the most important thing, is it?
