The Day They Robbed the Bank of England (1960) Poster

Hugh Griffith: O'Shea

Quotes 

  • O'Shea : A hundred and sixty thousand pounds is a matter for the police. A million is a political offensive. It also lasts longer.

  • O'Shea : Robbing grocers' tills and blowing up public lavatories will not make a nation out of Ireland.

    Cohoun : It disposes of a few Englishmen.

    O'Shea : They breed like rabbits.

  • O'Shea : [about Norgate]  He was a mining engineer, but he found it easier to extract gold from banks than from frozen streams.

  • O'Shea : It won't be easy. These walls are considered impregnable. They have withstood wars, rats, the dreams of thieves, and time. But, remember this, my talented children, the brains that built them were human and as fallible as your's and mine. Somewhere, the old lady has a weakness.

  • O'Shea : Remember, if you fail us now, the Movement is finished - and that's the truth.

    Iris Muldoon : Truth? We're nothing but puppets dancing on a string - and that's the truth.

    O'Shea : The answer to that, Mrs. Muldoon, is that my truth is truer than yours.
