| Vic Tyler: Lesson for me there, never try and outsmart the copper's mind.
Chris: Investigative brain, innit? It's lavver... lavver... lavvertorial.
Sam: Lateral. Lateral thinking, Chris.
| Gene: Trouble is, moving into the big time puts them squarely on my radar. They want to get big... little fish becoming bigger fish, need to feed, fast... and hard.
| Gene: Because by law, do you know how long I can keep you here?
Vic Tyler: No.
Gene: As long as I bloody well like!
| Gene: So, what do you think? Shall we let the gentleman go, Sam?
Vic Tyler: Oh, I've got a young lad called Sam.
Gene: I've got a pain in the arse called Sam.
| Ruth Tyler: You.
Gene: Have you met?
Ruth Tyler: Inspector Bolan...
Sam: Tyler. It... we met in connection with a burglary and, uh... I thought it might confuse you if I gave you my real name so... I adopted a professional alias.
Gene: It's not a wind-up, love. He really thinks like this.
| Sam: Well, that was a spectacular waste of police time.
Gene: Not entirely. Hey, his missus was a bit of alright. Wouldn't mind giving her a good ol' going over with the ol' tickle and stick, tatty hilarious.
| Gene: The Morton brothers are funding and distributing hardcore porno.
Sam: Hardcore? I've seen worse on Channel 4.
Gene: Yeah, well, I find the idea of watching a bird brushing her teeth on some bloke's John Thomas less than exotic.
| Gene: Anything else to add?
Sam: Yeah, I need volunteers to go through these films with a finetooth comb.
(everyone puts their hand up)
| Gene: I think you've forgotten who you're talking to.
Sam: An overweight, over the hill, nicotine-stained, borderline alcoholic, homophobe with a superiority complex and an unhealthy obsession with male bonding.
Gene: You make that sound like a bad thing.
| Sam: My mum and dad are gone, Annie.
Annie: They're not your parents.
Sam: How did I know where the key was?
Annie: What does that prove? Lots of folks leave their door key under the dustbin.
| Nelson: What every good barman knows is - if the beer ain't tasting good, it ain't a problem with the tap, it's a problem in the barrel.
| Gene: You are my DI! Now you act like it!
| Chris: You know what you've done, boss? Lost me a fiver.
Ray: We had a little bet, not long after you arrived, on who'd pull a gun on who first.
Chris: I was sure it'd be the guv.
Sam: You shouldn't underestimate me, Chris.
Chris: I don't underestimate ya, boss. Just don't understand ya.
| Sam: I want to go home.
Gene: Don't be such a jessy!
|
| |
| Chris: What else they gonna do but force?
Sam: And may the force be with you.
May the force be with you is a notable line from Star Wars that is an expression for good luck.
| Gene: So, you two related? Both Tyler.
Vic Tyler: Oh, give over!
Gene: Somebody call Esther Rantzen.
Esther Rantzen was the main presenter for a magazine style show called That's Life which began in 1973 and ended in 1994. Originally, the show focused on consumer protection but it evolved to include both serious and humourous items.
| Gene: He might be Pippi Longstocking in your eyes but he's still the only lead we've got.
Pippi Longstocking is the main character in a series of children's books by Astrid Lindgren. She's a 9-year-old girl who, along with her friends, often dupes any adults she comes across. In the 1970s, a Swedish TV series was created based on the books.

| Ray: Haven't you been paying attention in class, boss?
Sam: Have you forgotten your place, Detective Constable?
This is in reference to Ray's demotion from DS to DC in the previous episode.
