I'd hate to end up in prison.
Not very likely, is it Chris?
What if I was wrongly accused of killing my wife like David Janssen in The Fugitive?
You mean Harrison Ford.
No I don't.

CChris
Dickie's famous for getting caught in Alicante.
Flagrante, Chris, in flagrante
He would be my nemesis, if he could spell it!
DGDCI Gene Hunt
A villain farts in this city, our snouts should be able to name the arse responsible.
Chris, round up everyone you can get your hands on. Ray, wake up and get a van. Cartwright, stick some lipstick on. There's a blag on at Raxton Street Post Office in an hour. I want the lot of you in there and undercover! We're gonna catch these bastards with their fingers in the till!
[to Sam] You always do this to me - I run in certain and walk out confused!
[to Sam] Y'know, If I was as worried as you, I'd never fart for fear of shitting myself
[Before an undercover sting operation, Annie is equipped with a gun]
I haven't received any firearms training. That's not right...
[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.
Thanks for being so sympathetic, sir. Let's hope you don't end up in my firing line. [Annie storms out]
[Slightly alarmed] Did she just threaten to shoot me?!
Got a very bright future ahead of her, that lass.
[Gene has locked Sam in the boot of his car after Sam has investigated alleged corruption charges against Gene's mentor]
The rules go like this; you're my officer, you do as I say!
I was following my instincts...
Well, I should charge your instincts with wasting police time!
GFGlen Fletcher
Don't take this the wrong way, DI Tyler, but you're a mental case.
[gives Tyler a gun] Here, wave this around inside and try and look hard for once in your life!
Have you never heard of softly, softly?
Yes, but I prefer Z-Cars! [he and Sam storm into the building] Don't move! You're surrounded by armed bastards!
