Gillian Saker: Bella Drake

Quotes 

• Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : The Inspector was turning all philosophical on me. Gave me an 'eadache.

  Bella Drake : We'll have words. Can't have him wearing out that noggin.

• Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : The law's the law, right?

  Bella Drake : And policemen serve it.

  Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : We don't ask all the whys and wherefores, do we? Otherwise...

  Bella Drake : Well, what then?

  Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : But the Inspector, when it comes to banging up poofs and Mary Anns... To see him, he's a man all scooped of belief.

  Bella Drake : Do you believe in it?

  Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : Hell's bells. Not you, too?

  Bella Drake : Maybe he just understands what it is to be lonely. Say a law was made tomorrow... for you to love me was a crime. They say it's filthy and unnatural. Would you stop, Bennet? Turn off your love like a gas tap, just to obey?

  Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : I'd be the filthiest scofflaw this land had ever seen.
