A cat burglar unwittingly uncovers a gang of drug smugglers.
Cowley: [about London] "We're the bargain basement, Doyle. You can buy anything here."
Bodie: "Be nice to get eight hours sleep on the trot for once, wouldn't it? Not that you'd use it to sleep, of course."
Doyle: "Oh, I would. Nothing I like better than curling up in bed with a good book."
Cowley: "Glad to hear you've been spending your spare time so profitably, Doyle."
Bodie: "Breaking and entering!"
Cowley: "Just entering. You don't have to break anything.
Doyle: "Oh, I know this place. They leave your hubcaps and take the car."
Margery: "Good looking one, this. I bet the birds are just putty in your hands, aren't they?"
Doyle: "Uh, well, that's more his department." [Looking towards Bodie]
Margery: "Oh, no. I mean, you've got something. I spotted it right off, and I'm very fussy. You've got something."
Margery: [to Doyle] "Nice boys like you are hard to find." [Looks towards Bodie] "Louts are everywhere."
Margery: [to Bodie] "Pretty enough, yes, but you've got shifty eyes."
Doyle: "Well, we need a bit of help."
Margery: "Oooh, I could help you, lover. Anything for you."
Margery: [about Doyle] "You just look after my boy. You hear me, Bodie?"
Cowley: "Narrow squeak, lads. You save the car?" [After Bodie and Doyle nearly get blown up]
