[to Tom Robinson] I know you. You end up on Radio 6. You fall in love with a woman and have two kids.

Ray Carling

Don't worry mate. She says stuff like that all the time.

Gene Hunt

[to a young Alex Drake] Bye, little lady. Any problems, you just call the Gene Genie.

What?

Gene Hunt

I know. Clever, innit?

Alex Drake

Guv. Do you think if I've saved some lives, that means I'm worth saving?

Gene Hunt

If you say so. Now get your boney arse back here.

I can feel something from you, Alex. A sadness. You're physically present, but really, you're elsewhere.

Alex Drake

Elsewhere?

I understand, because I am too. I'm playing the piano. Same piece, over and over and over again, until it's perfect.

Alex Drake

You know, you sound to me like someone who wants to live.

Everyone wants to live, Alex. But who are we to decide who's worth being saved?

Gene Hunt

Who did this?

Gene Hunt

WHO DID THIS?!

We have enslaved the rest of creation.

Gene Hunt

You should be in Broadmoor!

Alex Drake

What do you do for a hobby, Mr Jarvis?

I don't follow you.

Alex Drake

Collect rare stamps?

Gene Hunt

Or fishing tackle?

Alex Drake

Or garden gnomes?

Gene Hunt

Or young virgins straight from the coach station?
