- Gerry Standing: [to car salesman] There you go. Look registered with the Stag Owners Club. British steel. British upholstery. British craftsmanship. It's the last of the great British cars, this. Oh, look, look. Smell that leather. Go on, smell it.
- Gerry Standing: [his mobile rings] Morning.
- Sandra Pullman: [on phone] Where are you?
- Gerry Standing: I'm on my way in now; I won't be long.
- Sandra Pullman: What you wearing?
- Gerry Standing: Pardon?
- Sandra Pullman: What are you wearing?
- Gerry Standing: Well, today I'm wearing boxers. Blue cotton. They're quite clingy, too. When I move I can feel them riding...
- Sandra Pullman: Have you got a tie?
- Gerry Standing: Ooh, you want to tie me up, do you? You want to restrain-
- [Sandra ends the call]
- Gerry Standing: [to car salesman] Just the boss.
- Brian Lane: Pat's old school, see. Code of ethics: do the crime, do the time, keep shtoom, and all cops are bastards.
- Sir Tim: There are tiny moments in everyone's life... precise, poignant moments, when everything crystalizes. Crackles with tension. When you know the next words out of your mouth will determine all manner of things. The future. This is one of those moments, isn't it?
- Olive Risk: What do you want?
- Gerry Standing: I just wanted to see some of Kieran's art. You know, get some feel of who he was, soak up...
- Olive Risk: No, you don't.
- Gerry Standing: No. I don't. I think someone tried to hurt him, maybe even kill him. I want to catch them.
- Olive Risk: Why? Because you care about Kieran? Because you care about art? Because you, you want to help a mother through her grief?
- Gerry Standing: No, none of those. It's what I do. I catch villains. I like catching villains; it makes me feel good.
- PC Clark: So, the dealer who sold the fake paintings and the artist who painted them *both* had fatal accidents within days of each other?
- Totty Vogel-Downing: Yeah. The man who borrowed the paintings, Sir Stephen, is dead; the artist who painted the fakes is dead; the dealer who sold the fakes is dead; one buyer, Hardy, is dead; George Wilson is dead... Do you, do you ever have cases where the suspects are still alive?
