- Isaac Rag: It's all up with us, here, the writings on the wall! 'Mene, mene, tekel ufarsin'.
- Swiftnick: What does that mean?
- Isaac Rag: That means you've been weighed in the balance and found wanted.
- Swiftnick: Yeah, well, you'll be found wanted if you don't stop your noise, couse I'll knock you're block off.
- Isaac Rag: Yeah?
- Swiftnick: Yeah!
- Dick Turpin: [Isaac Rag has slipped away] By heaven, sometimes I wish I'd never set eyes on you.
- Swiftnick: I'll catch him.
- Dick Turpin: Catch him? Catch him, you shiftless no-gooder? It's as black as a misers pocket out there and he's gone and you're to blame.
- Duke Of Hesse: Herr Turpin?
- Dick Turpin: Turpin will do, on it's own.
- Duke Of Hesse: On it's own, yeah, I understand. I'm afraid I cannot reward a highwayman. That would be quite impossible. This is the best I can offer: it is a pardon, the King would wish it.
- Dick Turpin: A pardon?
- [snickers]
- Dick Turpin: No, I think I'd rather hang.
- Duke Of Hesse: Then hang you will, there is no doubt about it.
