The Adventures of Tintin

Thompson: The victim's name was Barnaby Dawes. He was one of the top agents at Interpol. But we haven't got a clue what he was working on. Thomson: Quite right, Thompson. We're completely clueless. [Tintin: Interpol doesn't have any other leads?] Steady on, Tintin. We're still filling out the paperwork. Thompson: Police work's not all glamour and guns. There's an awful lot of filing.

Thomson: Great Scotland Yard! That's extraordinary. [Tintin: What is it?] Worthington's on a half-price sale of bowler hats. Thompson: Really, Thomson? [snatches blood-stained newspaper] This is hardly the time. Great Scotland Yard! Thomson: What is it? Thompson: Canes are half-price too.

Thomson: Mind you, I expect he's miles away by now. Thompson: I presume you're referring to the pickpocket? Thomson: Yes. I mean, knowing we're just a few steps behind him.

Thompson: Not so loud. We're in disguise. [Tintin: So I see. You got the message I sent from the ship?] Uh, yes, well, bit of a long story, that. Thomson: The upshot is, we caught the thief, retrieved your wallet, then hopped on the next plane to Bagghar. Thompson: Yes, that pocket-picker has picked his last pocket. [gives Tintin his wallet] Here. Don't worry. He didn't take any money.

Thomson: We have you now, you devil. [clears throat] You are under arrest! Thompson: To be precise, you're under arrest.

Tintin: [sees The Unicorn model ship in mirror reflection] Snowy, look at this. [views model ship in glass case] Tripled masted. Double decks. Fifty guns. Isn't she a beauty? Mr. Crabtree: It's a very unique specimen, that is. From an old sea captain's estate. Tintin: [reads label] "The Unicorn." Mr. Crabtree: The Unicorn. Man o' war sailing ship. That's very old, that is. 16th century. Tintin: 17th, I would think. Mr. Crabtree: Reign of Charles the 1st. Tintin: Charles the 2nd. Mr. Crabtree: That's what I said, Charles the 2nd. As fine as ship has ever sailed the Seven Seas. You won't find another one of these, mate. And it's only 2 quid. Tintin: I'll give you a pound. Mr. Crabtree: Done!
