Dervla Kirwan: Beatrice McArdle

Quotes 

• Beatrice McArdle : You know, I've always found your inflexibility truly irritating, James.

  James Steel : Then please don't let me keep you.

  Beatrice McArdle : Manslaughter - provocation, have we got ourselves a deal?

  James Steel : [scoffs]  This was a straight-up revenge killing, Bea, you know it.

  Beatrice McArdle : Wha- you think she wasn't provoked? He-he kidnapped and murdered her only child!

  James Steel : No, that hadn't been proved. Nick Carlton died an innocent man.

  Beatrice McArdle : Well, why don't you tell that to the jury. We are on the side of the angels, James. You force a murder trial, and you are the one who's going to end up with egg on his face.
