  • The scene where Eliza gets William to threaten a messenger service clerk to get information:
    William: YOU WILL BRING ME THAT MESSAGE NOW, OR I WILL BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY, AND THEN ARREST YOU FOR ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER!
    (cut to the clerk, who is so scared he's crying)
    William: (normal voice) Are you... are you crying? (clerk cringes) Look, just go and get the message and no harm will come to you.
    Clerk: Yes, inspector! (rushes off)
    William: (glances at Eliza) What?
    Eliza: He's little more than a child.
    William: You told me to frighten him!
