The Sweeney1975
[Carter and Alison's final conversation in the park before she is killed in a hit-and-run accident. Carter shows Alison a brown paper bag]
Alison Carter:
What are they?
Det. Sgt. George Carter:
Lychees.
Alison Carter:
You're joking!
Det. Sgt. George Carter:
Titter ye not, Madam.
[Alison grabs the bag excitedly and then looks disappointed as she peers in it]
Alison Carter:
There's only five.
Det. Sgt. George Carter:
I'm only a sergeant.
Alison Carter:
What d'you do with them?
Det. Sgt. George Carter:
[fake French accent] Well first you peel them, you see, and then you throw them away.
Det. Sgt. George Carter:
[normal voice] What d'you think you do? You eat them!
Alison Carter:
They're like king-size grapes.
Det. Sgt. George Carter:
No wonder the Chinese are so thin!
[pause]
Det. Sgt. George Carter:
They always remind me of fingers I saw once in the mortuary - after the quacks had peeled off the skins to reconstruct the prints.
