Delaney [to his minions]: Now gentlemen, before I go on the subject of confidence and betrayal, I hear that the Company are offering 10 pounds for any information. I also know that one of you has already considered collecting. Let me be very clear, I know which one of you it is. I want you to know that there will be no place for that man on my ship when we sail to the new world. Because he will be of no use to me: he will be of no use. For he will have no thumb. [Delaney cuts off a man's thumb] I am inside your heads gentleman. Always.

Taboo Season 1 Episode 5 Quotes

Thorne: Champagne, or potatoes? Or both?
Zilpha: So how did it resolve itself? Did you both see sense?
Thorne: No. I shot him between the eyes, and a host of devils flew out of his head and down the river. In that event it would be potatoes, wouldn't it? Simple sustenance. Life goes on.
Zilpha: Before you drink anymore could you tell me what really happened?
Thorne: But in the event of a messenger coming to tell you that he had killed me, well, champagne. All the wild possibilities. In truth, neither is the case. It was void.
Zilpha: How?
Thorne: No need for anymore questions. Not when half of London will be re-telling the story, anyway.
Zilpha: So I shall hear through gossip?
Thorne: As I hear about you.

My apologies - that was an excellent shot. I can only assume that your second is a Company man, since he failed to load a ball in your pistol. It would appear that my life is more precious than yours. Good day.

Delaney [to Thorne]
