• Constable Jeremiah 'Jerry' Harbottle : [Dudfoot has been embezzling the salary of a non-existent constable]  If I hadn't come in you wouldn't have had any Harbottle to show.

  Constable Albert Brown : That's right, and you wouldn't be able to stick for half his wages.

  Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : That's commission!

• Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : [Dudfoot and his two constables have made an arrest]  Did you search him?

  Constable Albert Brown : One pocket book, one watch, one pen-knife and no money.

  Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : One pen-knife and no what?

  Constable Albert Brown : No money.

  Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : Come on, turn out your pockets.

  Constable Albert Brown : Oh, alright. One pen-knife and fifteen bob.

  Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : Blimey! Will you never learn to be honest? He's as much our prisoner as he is yours... Here you are, five bob each.
