“The One That Got Away” quotes from New Tricks

Sandra Pullman

I can't leave.

Well, you can't stay here for ever.

Sandra Pullman

I belong here, Jack.

You're afraid to leave, that's your problem. You're comfortable, Sandra. Never get comfortable.

Sandra Pullman

What we do here is important, you said that.

Of course it's important. And it'll be important long after you're gong. But you built the ship, you don't have to go on steering it for ever. What's the alternative? You going to stay here till you get your pension? Then what? Take up gardening? Maybe you're going to move to the other side of that window and become another one of those boring old bastards out there. You're going to take the job, Sandra, we both know that. Let's not kid ourselves.

Sandra Pullman

I miss you, Jack.

Sandra Pullman

I can crack Annie Banks.

No! Just move on to the next one, Sandra.

Sandra Pullman

There isn't going to be a next one! [pause] I'm sorry, I didn't want it to come out like that. And I don't want you thinking this has anything to do with Annie Banks-

-So, you're leaving.

Sandra Pullman

Max Clement has offered me a place on his War Crimes team. And I've given it a lot of thought-

Yeah, it was about time. Well, it's ten years, Sandra.

Sandra Pullman

I know-

It's a good move and it'll be a fantastic experience.

Sandra Pullman

You're not worried about the team?

Well, they're a good team and that's thanks to you. But let them be my problem. The very least I owe you for everything you've done at UCOS is not to stand in your way.

Sandra Pullman

Thank You.

Are you going to sit there moping all day, or are you come for a drink?

Sandra Pullman

I'll be right there, Jack.
