- Dale Jennings: [answering the phone] Hi, Mum.
- Val Jennings: You saw the...
- Dale Jennings: Yeah. I had nothing to do with it.
- Val Jennings: You said you'd had no contact with him.
- Dale Jennings: I haven't. Adam's a... I don't know, he's an activist, I guess.
- Val Jennings: Someone needs to say something to the Lindells. He shouldn't be coming to your work!
- 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: Has anything like this happened since you were a teenager?
- Dale Jennings: Helen, I love you. I'm in love with you.
- Helen Norville: While we were together?
- Dale Jennings: I'm in love with you, Helen.
- Helen Norville: With who? With who? With who, Dale?
- Dale Jennings: Tim.
- [Helen storms out of Dale's apartment]
- Dale Jennings: For a brief moment, only once, and I stopped it! As soon as it ended, I told him, Helen! I told him that I was committed to you!
- Dennis: Take Tim's crew.
- Dale Jennings: Anyone else available?
- Dennis: You always go out with Tim's crew. What, has he got BO or something?
- [at a photoshoot]
- 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?
