Adam Godley: Tony Philips

Quotes 

• Thomas Lynley : [Introducing Havers]  Barbara Havers.

  Tony Philips : Barbara Havers? Finally get to put a face to the name.

  Barbara Havers : [laughs nervously, unsure of his meaning]  Sorry?

  Tony Philips : I was working with the Met last year. They were offering five to one that your partnership wouldn't make it out of the paddock.

  Thomas Lynley : [Indignant]  I beg your pardon?

  Tony Philips : [Condescendingly]  Just a bit of fun. I'm sure everyone's delighted that Barbara eventually found someone she's able to work with.

  Barbara Havers : You know, call me snob, Tony, but given the choice between workin' with a clever, considerate man or a... mouthy git, I know who I'd choose.

  Thomas Lynley : [Smiles softly at Havers' comment] 

  Tony Philips : You've obviously gotten her broken in, Lynley. If you're ever hard up, you're onto a dead cert.

  Thomas Lynley : [Rises from his chair] 

  Barbara Havers : No, it's okay, Sir. You see Tony spends most of his time cutting up dead people. He can't help having a warped, sick mind.
