- Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman: Hello.
- Jack Halford: Good morning.
- Esther Lane: [to Brian as he tries to kiss her] No. I've told you, I've had enough. I'm sick of driving you around. This is the last time.
- Jack Halford: Now we've met her, I think it's even more out of order taking on this case.
- Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman: Why? Because she's a feisty young female who's put your back up?
- Jack Halford: I seem to remember another feisty young female who put people's backs up.
- Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman: Thank you.
- Jack Halford: I gave her a job.
- Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman: yeah, well, maybe I'd like to help Christy the same way you helped me. You see, that's the trouble with men: they just can't handle a strong woman.
- Brian Lane: What're you on about? We've put up with you for bloody ages.
