DS Chris Skelton : Bingo! I got one. Martin Ellis, lorry driver. Waiting for a fabrics pick-up at 2:30 this morning. Spotted a thickset man running out of the loom hall.
Sam Tyler : Good, can I see it?
[Chris shows Sam a black and white picture with a head which looks like a butternut squash with ears]
Sam Tyler : Chris, have you ever seen anybody that looks like that?
DS Chris Skelton : It's the best we could do.
Sam Tyler : It's a doddle, then. We're looking for someone with hamster's cheeks, a nose like Audrey Hepburn and two foot of forehead.
-
Sam Tyler : Anyone can run around like an 'eadless chicken, but nothing beats the satisfaction of a thorough investigative process!
-
Sam Tyler : [to Litton] If I were you, I'd swallow it down. We had a result. One nil.
-
Derek Bannister : [to Gene while holding Sam at gunpoint] Yeah, but I bet you can't shoot me before I shoot him.
Sam Tyler : For God's sake, don't throw him down a wager!
-
Sam Tyler : The time, Chris?
DS Chris Skelton : Four-ish.
Sam Tyler : Precise time.
DS Chris Skelton : Just after four. Er, five, ten past.
Sam Tyler : Four-oh-seven.
[Sam looking his watch finally]
DS Chris Skelton : Closer to ten past.
Sam Tyler : Thank you , DC Skelton.

Gene Hunt : Chief culprit is Ted Bannister. I want him in custody by teatime.
Sam Tyler : What, because he spoke first?
Gene Hunt : 'Cos he's guilty as sin, and he's a commie bastard.
Sam Tyler : Sorry, that's bollocks. Total rubbish.
Gene Hunt : You're just itching to get your blood-spillage book out, aren't ya!
Sam Tyler : You're making him prime suspect based on what, a hunch?
-
Gene Hunt : Is my name 'Coco'?
Sam Tyler : What?
Gene Hunt : Why are you trying to make me look like a clown? Litton's gonna have a field day when he finds out you left four untraceable shooters out there.
Sam Tyler : This isn't about Litton. And don't blame me for this. You dumped it on me!
Gene Hunt : I thought you said you could multi... storey... task... Whatever!

Phyllis Dobbs : [on the radio] 870? 870! 870, come in, will you!
Sam Tyler : Phyllis, is that you?
Phyllis Dobbs : No, it's Jane Fonda on the hunt for men!
