Tony Costello: Jimi Hendrix's tooth, there was a fight in a pub down Oxford Street, someone planked him, and I picked it up. I knew he was a genius even then.

Karen Knowles: [after almost running Beano over as he runs from the tax man] Beano!

Beano: Not a moment too soon, my old son!

Tony Costello: [to Les and Beano] Chrissake. This was about us. This was our second shot, and it was working. Anybody who was at Antwerp saw it.
