— Do you know how unfair it is that you've got four Bugattis when half the country's starving?
— So now they've made you ashamed of us, eh?
— Sometimes when I think how I used to be, it makes me embarrassed.
— So I have your brother facing the noose. I have your cousin facing five years for arson. And I have your entire organisation in disarray in Birmingham and in London.
— What do you want?
— What do I want? I don't understand.
— I've already agreed to do your fucking killing for you. Now what is it you want from me?
— Oh. There you go, you see... An agreement is not the same thing as an assurance, now, is it? See, I found that I wasn't sleeping so well. And it wasn't just that... the smell and the noise in that room, no. It was the nagging doubt. The knowledge. The knowledge that... Tommy Shelby is not afraid to die.

You see, at midnight, I'm going to leave my wing and I'm going to come find you. And I'm going to turn the handle of your bedroom door without making a sound and none of the maids will know.
— You don't know maids.
— They hear a pin drop?
— If there's a man in the house, they listen. They take turns.
— So, let them listen.
