George Karim Quotes

Quill Kipps: Here are the terms. The loser quits and never works in this industry again. London will be a lot safer with three less amateurs stumbling around. Do we have a deal? What’s the matter, Tony? Scared you’ll lose?

George Karim: Oh, you’re kidding me.

Anthony Lockwood (to Kipps): Enjoy your last case.

Lucy Carlyle: What the hell is he doing?

George Karim: Whatever the hell he wants.

Anthony Lockwood: I guarantee you we are the best agents in London. The only reason you haven’t heard of us is because we don’t do our work for applause or attention. No, we do our work discreetly and bespokely. Now, I am certain that no one knows this cemetery quite like you do. We will do nothing without a full consultation on what you have seen. And, Miss, you have clearly had a terrible experience, so please, take all the time you need, and when you and your team feel strong enough, you will have my undivided attention.

George Karim (to Lucy): If we ever really get famous, he’ll be absolutely unbearable.

(Annabel Ward’s ghost is in the house, George is about to go get his gear…)

George Karim: Okay. 20 seconds. Non-metaphorical.

(George comes out wearing a lot of gear and his rapier…)

Anthony Lockwood: All that and still no trousers?

George Karim: Trousers are for wimps.

George Karim: Ever since you hired her, things have gone downhill. What if she’s unhinged?

Anthony Lockwood: She’s not unhinged.

George Karim: You’re hardly the best judge at these things. You need normal people around you.

Anthony Lockwood: You really think you’re normal, George? If you were, you’d have stayed at Fittes, and we’d never be friends. You know, everyone pretends they’ve got things under control. DEPRAC, the big agencies. It’s all a facade. The world’s mad, and normal never fixed anything. We understand that. It’s our USP. You get way too lost in the research, but you find the gold that everyone else misses. And, yeah, Lucy can be a bit… quirky, but she’s one of us. I’m sure of it.
