- Jim Bergerac: Do you know the interesting thing about police work? After you've made the first breakthrough, no matter how small it is - the cracks seem to get wider.
- Jim Bergerac: [severely hung over] I never telephoned you.
- Crozier: Yes, you phoned me. Alice spoke to you as well.
- Jim Bergerac: What bar was it?
- Crozier: The Royal Yacht. You were out of your skull.
- Jim Bergerac: ...I swear they planted me.
- Crozier: Charlie Hungerford saw you and got someone to ring.
- Jim Bergerac: [laughs] Is that all he did for me, was it?
- Jim Bergerac: Look, Barney I did not, I did *not* go out and get drunk. There was this girl, she was murdered... Suzy Walsh.
- Jim Bergerac: [on the phone] There's been... a murder.
- Crozier: Murder?
- Jim Bergerac: You heard me. Wash your ears out.
- Crozier: Alright, I got you the first time!
- Crozier: Any reports of a murder tonight?
- Det. Con. Wilson: No it's as quiet as the grave, why?
- Crozier: Jim's been on the telephone babbling about a murder. He sounded as if he's been on the bottle.
- Det. Con. Wilson: I don't believe it.
- Jim Bergerac: With that bland look behind your glasses there I take it you don't believe me either.
- Dr. Lejeune: [looking at blood samples] Only too willing to prove you right, Jim.
- Jim Bergerac: Well find a drug then, that'd prove it wouldn't it?
