Cavan Clerkin: PC Damien 'Clarkey' Clarke

Quotes 

• Clarkey : I mean, we're not protecting an embassy, are we? It's hardly civil unrest, is it?

  Nobbo : I don't see the difference. You turn up, do what they say, go home, eat some beans, have a shit, and go to bed.

  Clarkey : The difference is, Nobbo, it's not public service. I will put myself in harm's way for a political exile. I'll do that all day long. But I will not take the bullet for a fucking mahogany bookcase.

  Nobbo : It's the same.

  Clarkey : Isn't the same.

  Nobbo : Well, it is for me, 'cause I don't give a shit about politics and I don't give a shit about furniture, either.

  Clarkey : We're doing more and more of them lately. One a week, two a week. What's this? Third one this week? Rent-a-cops. That's all we are. Crowd control and hand relief.

  Nobbo : Job. Beans. Shit. Bed.
