Det. Insp. Derek Grim : Look, this may be an hoax, it may not be. All I know is, if it is genuine, my arse will be on the line and I don't want a cock-up!
-
Det. Insp. Derek Grim : Crockett, I need profiles on all known terrorists in the South-East. Kray, phone the Home Office! Phone the Armed Response Unit! Get me a tea, milk, four sugars!
DC Robert Kray : In what order, Sir?
Det. Insp. Derek Grim : Blimey, Kray! Where were you dragged up? Milk in first, tea next, sugar after.

Det. Insp. Derek Grim : [looking through the pile of criminal files] Juvenile! Juvenile! Juvenile!
D.C. Crockett : More juvenile, Sir!

Det. Insp. Derek Grim : I've talked to them, they won't budge. I've used all my negotiating skills.
Insp. Raymond C. Fowler : You have all the negotiating skills of an embittered rottweiler. Your telephone manner is about as appealing as a pub toilet at closing time.
-
Det. Insp. Derek Grim : Standard procedure, Fowler. We acquiesce to the government's demands, that way we win their trust.
Insp. Raymond C. Fowler : Brilliant, Grim. We win their trust by buying them a pizza. Why it seems so simple, I wonder if the same tactics could work in Bosnia?
-
Det. Insp. Derek Grim : They want a pizza. Detail your people to get them a pizza.
Insp. Raymond C. Fowler : [sarcastically] Of course, and perhaps a small selection of cupcakes?
