Luther 1x2

& Luther: Alice, you may be very, very clever. But you’re wrong. There is love in the world. So you lose.

& Reed: You might want to try answering your phone.
    Luther: Get a reputation for answering phones and all they do is ring.

& Reed: So how about we finish this chat away from the edge?
    Luther: D’you never do this?.. Come up to a really high place and wonder what it would be like just to fall?
    Reed: Fall or jump?
    Luther: Same thing.
    Reed: I beg to differ. But, mostly I go home, watch America’s Next Top Model.
    Luther: Don’t you worry you’re on the devil’s side without even knowing it?
    Reed: No. Just let it go, John.
    Luther: I already let him go. Just didn’t finish the job off properly, did I?
    Reed: And nobody shed a tear.
    Luther: That doesn’t make it right.
    Reed: Makes it a little bit less wrong, though.

& Luther: Morning, Corinne.
    Corinne: Any suspects, John? Off the record? ... You’ve got my number!
    Luther: Yeah memorised. Six, six, six.
    Corinne: Direct line.

& Luther: Two schoolgirls are coming home from Sunday school one day and one turns to the other and says, “Do you believe in the devil?” The other one says, “Don’t be silly, of course not. The devil’s like Santa. It’s only your dad.” Ha-ha-ha. ... I always thought that was funny.

& Teller: Is any of this even true?
    Reed: Not even slightly.

& Zoe: Alice Morgan...
    Alice: A friend of John’s.

& Alice: Why does he put himself through it? What do you think compels* him to do it?
    Zoe: He believes one life is all we have... Life and love. Whoever takes life steals everything.
    Alice: And do you agree?
    Zoe: I don’t know. I think if he’s read a different book by a different writer, he’d have been a different man. He’d have been happier as a priest than...
    Alice: Than what?
    Zoe: Than what he is.
    Alice: It must have been difficult for you. Impossible, really. How does anyone compete with a calling like that?..

& Luther: I need you to leave her alone.
    Alice: Brownie’s honour.

& Luther: One coffee doesn’t make us friends.
