Foyles War Quotes

[Paige, Foyle's murder suspect, walks free because he is organizing American supplies for the war effort]
Howard Paige: You sound like a sore loser. You know what the French say? C'est la guerre.
DCS Christopher Foyle: Precisely, Mr. Paige. It's the war. And no war has lasted forever, and neither will this one. A year, maybe ten, but it will end. And when it does, Mr. Paige, you will still be a thief, a liar, and a murderer, and I will not have forgotten. And wherever you are, I will find you. You're not escaping justice, merely postponing it. Au revoir.
