- [Frost is questioning a pharmaceutical worker and has toothache. The worker notices, and puts some pills into an envelope]
- Tristate Pharmaceutical Worker: My private reserve. Don't do anything stupid with them.
- [Frost takes one out and looks at it. It is very big, about the size of a pound coin]
- Frost: What, like try to swallow one?
- Dentist: [Frost is in obvious pain in the dentist's chair] It's the little vices that cause us the most pain.
- Frost: [His mouth full] Unh-huh, yeah.
- Dentist: I'm forever parking in the wrong place.
- Dentist: [With a sadistic tone] Toffee lollipops are a bit like parking tickets.
- Frost: Are they?
- Dentist: [Obviously enjoying Frost's discomfort] Stick like hell...
- Frost: Yeah.
- Dentist: ...and a bugger to get off sometimes.
- Frost: [In pain] Uh, oh, oh, I suppose.
- Frost: Right, Doc, what have we got here?
- Dr McKenzie: A dismembered corpse, Inspector.
- Frost: [Sarcastically] Oh, well, not the kind of thing you want to find in your fridge when you come home from the holidays, is it, Doc?
- D.S. Lawson: What are you going to do?
- Frost: Me? Well, sewer rats come out at night, and there's one particular rat I want to get hold of before he goes down his hole.
- Dr McKenzie: [to Mullet after he's been reinstated] I suppose I should be getting back to the outlaws and sundry scum of Denton who'll be wanting my undivided attention.
- Dentist: [to Frost about the damage caused by the lollipop] It's the little vices that cause us the most pain.
- Supt Mullett: I've had the press calling me non-stop. Having a demented killer on the loose is doing us no good at all.
- Frost: Mmm, that's true. Not much fun for the victims either, is it?
- Frost: [to Toolan a thy are walking through the junkyard with thousands of discarded refrigerators] Pyaw! Uh, it's like an elephants' graveyard here! What's this all about?
