Lee Ingleby: John Bacchus

Quotes 

• [Gently and Bacchus are going through the pockets of a murder victim. Bacchus pulls out a ball of tinfoil with some brown lumps inside] 

  George Gently : Is that what I think it is?

  John Bacchus : Yes. Cannabis resin. It's a bit late to charge him with possession now, isn't it.

• John Bacchus : [picking up a photo frame during a search]  And what is his name?

  Adriana Doyle : Che.

  John Bacchus : Does he have a second name?

  Adriana Doyle : Guevara.

  John Bacchus : Is he her boyfriend?

  Adriana Doyle : Have you really never heard of him?

• John Bacchus : [observing a sign that says 'make love, not war!' and a couple kissing]  I hear you're in the midst of a sexual revolution.

  John Bacchus : [thinking his comment might be misinterpreted]  Oh, no, I waas reading your posters.

  Adriana Doyle : [provocatively]  You should jump on board, baby! You can't make love if you're wearin' chains.

  Adriana Doyle : [John laughs embarrassedly]  Kick the bishop out of the bedroom, and that old judge goes, too. Everyone's free to do exactly what they feel whenever they feel like it. You'll see an entirely different world. Aye, you will.

  John Bacchus : If we're all making love... we won't have time to make bombs. I might give it a go.

  Adriana Doyle : There's nothing hasn't been done before.

• John Bacchus : [Looking at the dead radical professor's paycheck]  Look how much he was gettin' paid!

  John Bacchus : [John gives it to George for approval]  They're our taxes, you know.

  George Gently : Makes you wish you paid attention at school.
