Tom quotes from Blue Heelers

Tom

I just didn't want it to appear that you were getting special treatment.

Yeah, I was getting special treatment. Being locked up for owning a pair of really common shoes.

There is a Steve working the district and he picked up Jim Tudor last night and dropped him out to an abandoned farm.

Tom

Where he slept in a manger and gave birth to baby Jesus, I get the picture.

How'd you find him?

Tom

Competent police work, what have you two been doing?

There's a crazy man running around with a gun.

Tom

If this is a joke...

Actually, he was wearing a uniform like your's. His name is Jones.

Now look here!

Tom

What the hell is going on?

Jonesy and I are just reliving our childhood, Boss.

Tom

Well, find a playground to do it. Because believe it or not, this is a police station.

Tom

Three men dead in one shift is not a good look, Jones.

Jonesy

Even if they were all scum?

Tom

This time yesterday, we had four gangsters alive, well and operating. Today, three of them are dead and the other one is going down for murder. So what's the problem?

You.

Tom

Now, who want's brussell sprouts?

Ewwwwww!

Tom

Did I say brussell sprouts? I meant fish and chips.

Yay!

He wouldn't do anything to hurt his daughter.

Tom

Your call, Detective.

He's not a flight risk, trust me.

Alright...but it's on your head.

Tom

Oh, that looks serious.

No point making it if it's not. You want one?

Tom

Doubt it if my heart would survive it. I understand your concern about divulging information. I was in the army myself. Vietnam. A word in the wrong ear could lead to a platoon being ambushed. But we're coppers now. We rely on information. We can't do the job without it. You're not at war now, Matt.

We weren't in Timor to fight a war. We were peacekeepers.

Tom

And the joyrider?

Could charge him with rank stupidity, but he didn't do it.

You're a good man Tom.

Tom

Don't say that.

Are you sick?

Tom

I'm fine!!

She's pretty committed!!

Tom

Just a bit of heartburn...

Sophie said that?

Tom

Not that it's anyone's business, but yes.

Wow. She's even better than I thought! Diagnosis by telepathy... She rang, boss, looking for you.

It's cool.

Tom

Cool. These blokes don't seem cool to me.
