Quotes
-
[Rose wakes up on Bennet's couch after he comes home]
Rose Erskine : [smiling] So is this the lot for a bobby's wife, then? Never knowing when you're like to come home?
Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : Yeah, it can be... and as you've said, not long past, it is not much of a life.
[his tone hardens]
Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : You... you come to me out of fear, Rose, not natural affection. I know I'm not much... but I am worth better than that.
Rose Erskine : Then what is to become of me?
Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : Your mistress is returned to her house. You can do likewise, if you wish.
Rose Erskine : And if I do not? If I decide to finish with that life?
Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : Then you must be brave, Rose, and look for another. Now get along with you, girl.
