Dale Jennings : Don't.
Val Jennings : Does Helen know about what he...
Dale Jennings : No.
Val Jennings : Well, if she has any concerns, get her to ring me. I can tell her what kind of person Adam is, what kind of attacks...
Dale Jennings : Mum. He's been through enough. I'll call you tomorrow.

Dale Jennings : [about Adam] He made allegations against me.
Helen Norville : What kind of allegations?
Dale Jennings : When we were teenagers. He said I did things that I did not do. He said I forced myself on him. It wasn't me. It was not me.
Helen Norville : Are you talking sexually?
Dale Jennings : We were best friends. We were teenage boys messing around. It was adolescent boy stuff. It wasn't...

Helen Norville : With who? With who? With who, Dale?

Photographer : [as Dale walks in wearing a suit] Amazing!
Helen Norville : That one's so much better. You look beautiful
Dale Jennings : Just your standard Thursday morning outfit.
Helen Norville : [laughs] Well, we've decided that it's cocktail hour, so...
Dale Jennings : We have?
Helen Norville : Yes.
Photographer : Mr. Jennings, if you want to just stand beside her, maybe put your hand on her shoulder.
Helen Norville : Sweet.
Dale Jennings : Um, isn't the bulletin at cocktail hour, though?
Helen Norville : Dale, you don't have to fact check the photoshoot.

Tim Ahern : Your first hatchet job. Congrats. It's quite a milestone.
Dale Jennings : Sorry?
Tim Ahern : You don't actually believe that there's people deliberately out there poisoning the blood banks, do you?
Dale Jennings : I don't always get a final say about what goes into the edit.
Tim Ahern : But you do get a say, though, don't you?
Dale Jennings : [whispering] I know it's a sensitive issue for you.
Tim Ahern : No. It's just shit journalism.

Helen Norville : Is there something wrong?
Dale Jennings : Yes. I fucked up with my reporting and my colleague lost her job. Isn't that enough?
