Detective Inspector Derek Grim : [after an extended discussion among the officers about racism, Grim finally reaches his limit of tolerance] Fowler, can you keep your fannying-about down? Police work is about villains, not 'isms'. What 'ism' ever mugged an old lady? What 'ism' ever robbed a bank? What 'ism' ever held a gun to someone's head?
D.C. Gary Boyle : Terrorism?
Detective Inspector Derek Grim : [annoyed] Yeah, all right. What 'ism' ever threatened the security of the state?
D.C. Gary Boyle : Marxism?
Detective Inspector Derek Grim : What 'ism' ever hurt anybody?
D.C. Gary Boyle : Sadism!
