Then, I will tell you which papers to burn.

Strange: Belton! You will improve your game. You have to improve your fucking game! This bastards at the palace have opened a Royal Commission into the sinking of The Influence.
Belton: The Influence-why?
Strange: It's a personal campaign. A stab in my ribs. Now you will deal with it. You, and the Africa desk. The Commission is not the King, so they can't subpoena, so you will deal with it. And treat them with disbelief. They have appointed some educated blackamoor to prepare the evidence. So you go into your office, and you write to him. Offer him full and unfettered cooperation on behalf of the honorable East India. No - full and willing cooperation.
Belton: Yes sir.
Strange: Then, I will tell you which papers to burn.

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]
