[about his promotion out of the bullion office]
Turner Nonsense. You're never too old to better oneself. Think of what you can do with an extra 15 shillings a week.
Henry Holland But sir, I like the bullion office. It holds all I ever wished for.
Turner The trouble with you, Holland, if I may speak frankly, is that you do not have enough ambition. When a good opportunity comes along grab it with both hands. May not occur again.
Henry Holland Very good, sir. I'll follow your advice.

Turner And, erm, here's the order for tomorrow's consignment. Somewhat larger that I expected: 212 bars.

Turner Dependable to the last. I'm going to miss you, Holland.
Henry Holland You're very kind, sir. I shall always have the happiest memories of the dear old bullion office.

Henry Holland Yes, sir. I'm going to Paris.
Turner Paris, hey? You're stepping out, Holland. Wonderful isn't it, what a little extra money will do?
Henry Holland Yes, it's going to make a big difference to me.
