Quotes 

• Horace Rumpole : It seems you know Sir Christopher Japhet's daughter.

  Nigel Timson : We've been going out together for about six months. We make up a dink.

  Horace Rumpole : A dink. Do translate.

  Nigel Timson : Double income, no kids. It's what we call it.

  Horace Rumpole : How quaint.

  Nigel Timson : Now it seems I'm a YID - young indictable dealer.

  [laughs nervously] 

  Nigel Timson : It's not really very funny, is it?

  Horace Rumpole : [to Mr Bernard, Nigel Timson's solicitor]  We've got to start learning a new language - do you you realise that, Mr Bernard. You can forget about tea-leaves and shooters. We're in a strange new world of DINKs, dawn raids and Chinese walls. Doesn't it make you a bit nostalgic for the simple old days when you just smashed a window, grabbed some loot and ran? The world's changed: God knows how we're going to get used to it.
