Gene Hunt quotes from Ashes to Ashes

How would you feel if someone much younger than you, better looking came in and took over your patch? Tried to get all the glory?

Gene Hunt

They'd melt in my shadow, son.

Alex Drake

She's not safe here. We have to get her out to somewhere safe.

Well what about that place that sells cheap plonk?

What is that?

Luigi

Its cocktail hour.

Gene Hunt

Is there any chance that I can get a drink that hasn't minced its way over here from Mayfair?

Alex Drake

Who is you?!

You don’t believe all that Police Widows stuff, do you?

No! It stinks more than a month old Chinky.

Guv!

Gene Hunt

Not now Chris, I’m gloating!

Chris Skelton

No guv, it’s Drake and Shaz.

Gene Hunt

Oh Drake, don't you bloody dare.

Gene Hunt

[To Frank] Right then you little scrotum – talk!

Viv

[Into the tape recorder] DCI Gene Hunt has entered the room.

Alex Drake

Looks like we’re dealing with murder.

Gene Hunt

[Thinking up a plan] But what if he’s not dead?

Chris Skelton

[Pointing at the dead body on the slab] I think you’ll find he is, guv?!

Alex Drake

[To Gene] I've decided to trust you.

Alex Drake

But on one condition.

Gene Hunt

Oh, I knew this wouldn't be easy.

Alex Drake

Look me in the eye and tell me you had nothing to do with the death of Sam Tyler. Please. Just tell me.

Chris, do we have a description of the suspect?

Chris Skelton

Erm, yeah. Male. Tall. Slim build, about 5 foot 12.

Gene Hunt

Sounds like a ponce.

Guv, the CCTV is up and working.

Right.

Can they hear us?

Ray Carling

[Getting close the screen and the mic] Oi! Scrot you’re being watched by DI Ray Carling.

Just been through the prison records seems our escaped prisoner Paul Thordy shared a cell with Jason Sacks. It appears someone didn’t want us to know that, they covered it up.

Alex Drake

What and you believe this is important?

Gene Hunt

[Sarcastically] No, I have just spent the last hour going through all this for my own mindless entertainment!

Chris Skelton

Any news on Viv guv?

Jim Keats

He’s been moved. We can no longer see him on the CCTV.

Yes. Feel free to butt in, Jim!

Jim Keats

What now?

Gene Hunt

Now? I’m gonna show you something.

Jim Keats

What’s this? Your memoirs?

It’s a list of visitors to the prison over the last year.

Shebangs, Shebeens, shebongs, showaddywoddy... whatever.
