Taxi Driver: Puts you in mind of the days of the old demon barber of Fleet Street, don't it?
Alex: Sorry?
Taxi Driver: The murders.
David: What murders?
Taxi Driver: Haven't you heard? Last night... six of 'em. All in different parts of the city, all mutilated. He must be a real right maniac, this fella.
