DI Fred Thursday : Something you want to say, Arthur?
DS Arthur Lott : You know the kind of people Teddy's tight with?
DI Fred Thursday : I know he's got you in his pocket. A pony on the first of the month for turning a blind eye to hooky MOTs is one thing, but this is the murder of a young girl.
DS Arthur Lott : It's not just me.
DI Fred Thursday : Oh, I know. Teddy Samuels has got half the brass in this town dancing to his tune.
DS Arthur Lott : In the county. Judges, churchmen, councillors, peers. You really think you've got a chance of going toe-to-toe with that lot, Fred?
DI Fred Thursday : [a pause; then, smiling] I think you should take a couple of weeks' furlough. Run Irene down to the caravan and then have a long, hard think about early retirement.
DS Arthur Lott : [nervous] You off your nut?
DI Fred Thursday : It's that or put in for a transfer. I'd hate to have to pinch you, Arthur. Your choice. Either way, don't show your face round here again.
