Superintendent Harry Wolfe quotes from Life on Mars

He would be my nemesis, if he could spell it!

You're a lucky man, Tyler. You've got the best here.

Sam Tyler

[Heavy sarcasm] I weep with happiness every morning, sir.

I'm saying it to all divisions; city needs to feel safe, Gene. Point is, this is under the glare, so let's make it clean and let's make it count, yes?

Sam Tyler

Would that be... 'by the book', sir?

Yes, that's it - by the jolly old book.

Sam Tyler

[To Gene, smugly] Let's get this party started.

Annie Cartwright

I haven't received any firearms training. That's not right...

Gene Hunt

[Exasperated] Y'see, this is why birds and CID don't mix. Give a bloke a gun, it's a dream come true. Give a girl one, and she moans it doesn't go with her dress! Now start behaving like a detective and show some balls.

Annie Cartwright

Thanks for being so sympathetic, sir. Let's hope you don't end up in my firing line. [Annie storms out]

Gene Hunt

[Slightly alarmed] Did she just threaten to shoot me?!

Got a very bright future ahead of her, that lass.
