Quotes 

• Horace Rumpole : All of you seem to think that, like Sigmund Freud, that... sex is the explanation for everything, but sometimes it's... it's... it's something else entirely.

• [Rumpole is cross-examining Elizabeth Casterini in court] 

  Horace Rumpole : While you were at college, a musicians' agent was tried for dealing in hard drugs. Some of your fellow students were said to be involved. You attended that trial, didn't you?

  Elizabeth Casterini : Yes, a friend of mine was in the dock. You got him off - brilliantly.

  Horace Rumpole : [boastfully]  Oh, we'll take that for granted.
