Quotes

PC Wayne Hector : I'll need to take a statement from you and Mr Bancroft.
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : Don't worry about the spelling, otherwise we'll be here all night.
-
Det. Insp. Peter Pascoe : You really shouldn't be drinking, you know. It isn't good for you.
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : Thank you. I'm moved by your concern for my liver. I'll leave it to you in my will.
-
Det. Insp. Peter Pascoe : We think it would be better if you took a little holiday 'till all this all blows over.
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : "We"? Is that the royal "we"? I always knew you were posh, Peter. Where have you been hiding the blue blood?
Det. Insp. Peter Pascoe : It's a suggestion from the Chief Constable.
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : Oh, he's a definite "we", he is. And he's using you to stab me in the back.

[at Sir William Pledger's pheasant shoot, Dalziel spots PC Hector]
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : What the hell are *you* doing here, lad?
PC Wayne Hector : It's me half day, sir.
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : I asked you what you were doing, not what day it is.
PC Wayne Hector : I'm one of the beaters, sir.
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : Get away!
PC Wayne Hector : Only part-time, like. The odd weekend.
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : [ironically] Oh, why, d'you have *another* job?
PC Wayne Hector : I'm not in trouble, am I sir? I've always done this, ever since I was a kid, like. Half the lads on the force do. They pay good money.
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : I suppose it could be viewed as additional training. Advancing in single file against armed men planning to shoot you down.
PC Wayne Hector : They shoot at the *birds*, sir, not at *us*.
Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel : Don't bet on it, sonny. Not with me around.
