Godfrey: They talked about gunpowder. And it was said that if Delaney Trading wanted to trade with the Indians at Nootka the only merchandise you could possibly use would be gunpowder. Wilton pointed out that in wartime production of gunpowder was controlled by The Crown. You will not be granted a license to purchase: your name is already on a blacklist. You will not get a single grain in all of England. So now, is the game up? When they speak of you there is such hatred now. Before they laughed.
Delaney: They stopped laughing-that's good. That's a good thing, Godfrey.
Godfrey: James, for God's sake. The art of war: your motive, your strategy, your outcome. They can't kill you, but they will crucify your name: will crucify all those around you.
Delaney: But I don't keep anyone around me that doesn't deserve what they get.
Godfrey: Does that include me?
Delaney: Yes, that includes you. Only half a man.

Taboo Season 1 Episode 4 Quotes

Strange: We had a fucking agreement! Common cause. Fucking snakes! Who tipped you off?
Lackey: Anonymous note.
Strange: Delaney! He's turning London into his own private bear pit. And what are we? The bear? Or the dogs? Shit! And that fat pig-Prince Prinny, plays the fool so he can better play the game. I'll pop him. I swear to God I'll burst him like a pig's bladder! Get a message to Coop; tell him we withdraw our negotiators from the India talks.

Coop: My wife is a strange fish. I talk to her about my work when we sit up in bed at night. Her belief is that James Delaney is in league with Satan.
Lorna: I believe that to be true too.
