Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : Sorry to keep you, sir. Car trouble.

  Brian Lane : And bike trouble.

  D.A.C. Strickland : You're probably all wondering what I'm doing here.

  Jack Halford : It had occurred to us.

  D.A.C. Strickland : I've been asked to pilot a new scheme which aims to ensure senior ranks interface more regularly with what's happening further down the chain of command.

  Gerry Standing : Slumming it, you mean.

  D.A.C. Strickland : I prefer to see it as maintaining a ground up approach to policing.

• Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : Was Dean in on the robbery?

  Mike Barnes : Oh, for God's sake! Dean wasn't a criminal; he was an estate agent!

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : There's a difference?

• [last lines] 

  Brian Lane : Who's going to tell Pamela about the reward?

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : I will.

  Gerry Standing : I suppose one of us claiming it would be out of the question.

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : Completely. And it's against Met rules, as you well know, Gerry.

  Gerry Standing : Yeah, but technically those rules only apply to you. I mean we're civilians. Could be a good few bob in it.

  [Sandra just looks at him] 

  Gerry Standing : That'd be a no, then.

• Jack Halford : And then, of course, there was the vanishing man.

  Brian Lane : Mm, Trevor Jones.

  Gerry Standing : Cor, right piece of work he was. What?

  Jack Halford : It's not?

  Superintendent Sandra Pullman : Oh yes it is. Mike Barnes is Trevor Jones!

  Gerry Standing : You're kidding?

  Jack Halford : Under lock and key? Ooh-ooh, it makes you glad to have lived this long.
