Episode Quotes
Lawson: So you write the Bible of Tactical Response. And then you go around breaking every single one of it's commandments?
Kerry: Well I'm not God. I'm still working on getting it right.
Lawson: What, all by yourself Kerry?
Kerry: No, not quite. Got you down as a work in progress.

Lawson: When I started it was a given. I just do the job and don't ask questions.
Kerry: You would've made a good Nazi, you know that?
Lawson: Are you saying that I'm not a good cop?
Kerry: No, no, no! I love you Senior Sergeant Blake, you know that!

Leon: (has a business card in his hand) Hey Lawson.
Lawson: What the hell is that?
Leon: That's a top autograph mate! It's gonna be worth a fortune one day! Oh by the way, I accidentally on purpose overheard that bit about her representing the actor's widow in court. She is going to cream you guys!
Lawson: Listen, if I hear you say anything like that in front of Kerry, I will tear you limb from limb. You got it?
Leon: Yep. Sorry mate. Sorry. I was just joking.

Bobby Lavilla: Listen, you should try a bit of everything. Make sure I'm not getting poisoned.
Lawson: Nah. I don't really care if you're poisoned. (Bobby looks in the cutlery draw) All the knives are gone, Bobby.

Dom: (about Bobby and Marisa) Doesn't look very lawyer/client to me.
Kerry: Don't you read the trashy mags, Dom?
Lawson: She is going to eat him alive.
Kerry: Well, he's highly edible, I'll give him that.
Lawson: You serious? You and Marisa got plans for him, have ya?
Kerry: Nah, wouldn't mind. There's something about him.
Lawson: I wouldn't get too close. People around him keep disappearing!
Dom: Yeah, he murdered a girlfriend.
Kerry: Alleged Dom, alleged.

Kerry: Here's the drill, behind there is a whole lot of reporters who think you're the Britney Spears of the gang lands, so we've organised a motorcade for them. (Bobby laughs) Sorry about these elaborate precautions, but here's Gavin. He'll be playing you.
Bobby: Not bad. So who'd you say I was? Paris Hilton?
Kerry: Don't flatter yourself!
