"I know every inch of this road."
For the modern age:
"Hold the steering wheel, I've got a text message..."
"And then, just as I fall unconscious, release the pressure on the belt and..."

What did I tell you about that Rasher guy ???
The late great Cecil Rhodes is aways credited with the immortal last lines of 'So much to do, so little time' or something like that, a monumental au revoir I think you would agree. The even later, and some would say, greater, Kenneth Griffith, in his tele-biography of Rhodes, claimed that somewhile after uttering the above, Rhodes said to his man servant, 'Roll me over Jack', and that these were in fact his final words.

Either way, Chris shot the policeman, and Bentley was hung for it.
