Ray Smith: Spikings

Quotes 

• Chief Supt. Gordon Spikings : [picks up the phone]  Commissioner? They've done it again. Petrol station this time. But we may have got them. Someone spotted the getaway van. Commissioner, I don't care what squad they're from - Special, Diplomatic or Obscene Publications. If this tip-off is right we would seem to have cornered a whole bloody military platoon. And all I've got on the spot is a crazy Yank who thinks he's Clint Eastwood and my only intelligent detective. *She* I don't want to lose.

• Lt. James Dempsey : [after bringing in Reuben Osuna on a horse, Dempsey hands in his badge]  I quit.

  Chief Supt. Gordon Spikings : Why?

  Lt. James Dempsey : Because I've had it. With Tinkerbell. I've had it. Up to here.
