- [MP Hilary Elkin has made an official complaint to Haskins that Regan has been harrassing Eddie Boyse]
- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: He's put the wind up Haskins. He's been running with two legs in the one knicker ever since.
- [talking about Eddie Boyse]
- Det. Sgt. George Carter: He's got the Church and the Palace of Westminster on his side. Who have you got?
- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: My mum. She thinks I'm a genius!
- Det. Sgt. George Carter: Excuse me for asking, guv'nor, but what the hell are we doing here?
- Det. Insp. Jack Regan: Revisiting the scene of the crime. Don't you ever go to the pictures?
- Det. Sgt. George Carter: Well yeah, but there's something about Clint Eastwood that make it enjoyable.
- Alison Carter: Guilty or innocent, Regan always gets his man.
- Det. Sgt. George Carter: You got no reason to say that.
- Alison Carter: I've got every reason - you! Because if you don't see through him, before long you're gonna turn out just like him. Look, George, I admire the work you do, the dedication, but times I'm jealous. I resent your involvement, the satisfaction you get from it, but Regan's an unhappy, mixed-up man. I think he's a headcase. At times he behaves just like a... monster!
- Det. Sgt. George Carter: But he's a good copper.
- Alison Carter: Is that the only way to be a good copper? Be tough? Be an anachronistic joke like Regan?
