Quotes 

• [Central London Revenue Office, Hammersmith W14, Thursday 19th November] 

  Una McGladdery : Fantastic. This is the reason I joined. All I want is mountains of paperwork.

  Alesha Phillips : So what should we be looking for?

  Una McGladdery : You don't "look" for anything. Be the paper, become the numbers. First rule of tax forms? Everybody lies. Second rule of tax forms: everybody gets found out eventually, usually by me.

  James Steel : What do you need.

  Una McGladdery : [to James Steel]  Guns.

  Una McGladdery : [to Alesha Phillips]  Lots of guns.

  [a pause as Alesha's slight smile abruptly fades] 

  Una McGladdery : Only jokin'. More floor space. Three current businesses, several failed ventures: this guy's been in business since 1994. He started filing his online returns in 2005. I can handle those. Pre-that, it's paper, and you need a lot more floor space.

  James Steel : Ah. Consider it done.

  Una McGladdery : [hefting two heavy-duty staplers and clicking them as if they're guns, a la Trinity]  Let's get to work.
