• [first lines] 

  Jack Halford : How can Strickland afford to keep a boat in a place like this?

  Brian Lane : Yeah, I couldn't afford to fish in it.

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : Thanks for that precise mental image, Gerry.

  Jack Halford : Does he have to drag us all the way out here?

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : I think it's very nice of him actually to take us for a bit of a sail. It's his way of saying thank you for all our hard work.

  Gerry Standing : I prefer 'ard cash.

  [they start down the ramp] 

  Gerry Standing : Ooh dear, be careful.

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : Shut up.

  Jack Halford : Which one is Strickland's?

  Brian Lane : G7. It must be the mooring number.

  Jack Halford : Ah. G9. G8.

  Jack Halford : Ah, must be this one.

  Gerry Standing : Blimey!

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : Wow!

  D.A.C. Robert Strickland : [from the next boat]  Ah! Welcome aboard the 'Last Minett'.

  Gerry Standing : He's having a laugh, isn't he?

  Jack Halford : I've seen bigger bathtubs.
