- Sgt. Arthur Hanlon: Is Jack up there, George?
- DS George Toolan: No, he's nipped out to see Tara Holdsworth. Shouldn't be long. Anything important?
- Sgt. Arthur Hanlon: Oh, Mullett's beating around for his crime report from last night and he hasn't signed it, that's all.
- DS George Toolan: Oh well. Here goes.
- [Toolan forges Frost's signature]
- Sgt. Arthur Hanlon: You're getting quite good. Should try banknotes.
- DS George Toolan: Ssh!
- D.I. Frost: I was called away on urgent inquiries.
- Supt. Mullett: I've heard that one from you too often to believe it. Frankly, your attitude on these occasions does you no credit. You're a little old to play the errant schoolboy.
- D.I. Frost: [to Wallace during car chase] If you get frightened, just close your eyes like 'm doin'.
- D.I. Frost: [Angrily] Then why are you letting Mullett take me off the case?
- D.C.I. Allen: Because at the end of the day you're just a detective inspector, not King of Denton.
