- DI Robert Lewis: You know, one of my first cases in Oxford, this old don turned toward me and he said, "Forgive me, are you a member of this city?"
- DS James Hathaway: What did you say?
- DI Robert Lewis: "No, I just live here." But he was making a point. This city, it's members only.
- DI Robert Lewis: [Lewis injured his back, & Hathaway has brought him to hospital] If they ask...
- DS James Hathaway: Yah, I know: "Do Not Resuscitate".
- DI Robert Lewis: I was going to say, "Two sugars".
- DI Robert Lewis: I've noticed, Hathaway, that you always call me "Sir" when you've said something mean.
- DS James Hathaway: Public school.
- DI Robert Lewis: You people. You seem to think that if you just keep on lying, that I will eventually roll over. But I won't.
- Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent: [Admonishing Lewis] God only knows what possessed you to enter into some misbegotten pissing match with men of that standing!
- DI Robert Lewis: What's so special about Oxford?
- Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent: What?
- DI Robert Lewis: The chippy copper antics. Why is it so much more inappropriate in this city than anywhere else?
- Simon Ashton: Leave it.
- DI Robert Lewis: [Lewis approaches Ashton] Excuse me?
- Simon Ashton: I am simply advising you, for your own sake. Oswald Cooper had powerful friends.
- DI Robert Lewis: Oh, I've coped with worse than you, Mr. Ashton.
- Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent: [Admonishing Lewis] Chippy copper antics have no place in a city like this.
