• DCI Rennie : The police arrest men in this city, Lieutenant, not the military.

  Lt. David Ferris : I was carrying out orders.

  DCI Rennie : I like my man stripped, weary, and checked into a cell before he's had time to think. I have to work on him. and I don't want him used to being in a cage by the time he's mine. Got it?

  Lt. David Ferris : He's in the cells. Why don't you just take him?

  DCI Rennie : There's a form for these things. One day, in jolly old England, some lawyer'll be putting the arrest under a microscope. So, everything's got to be right, got it?

• DCI Rennie : [gesturing towards a surveillance camera in the interview room]  I wouldn't place too much confidence in those cameras if I were you. They break all the time.

• DCI Rennie : But if he's on the floor?

  DCI Rennie : Then we pick him up again!

  Det. Astley : And what if he can't stand up?

  DCI Rennie : Then we find a different way to prop him up!

• DCI Rennie : A week ago I was at the funeral of my two mates you helped die for Ulster.

  Gingy McAnally : What about my bloody mates you helped die over the last twenty years?

  Roisin McAnally : Eight hundred years!

  Gingy McAnally : Right, right. Eight hundred years.
