- Dr. Laura Hobson: [Referring to the murdered Miranda Thornton] She had her 15 seconds too. Wrote a book back in the 90s how women could survive without men... quite influential.
- DI Robert Lewis: Did it influence you?
- Dr. Laura Hobson: No, of course not. I came to the conclusion years ago.
- DS James Hathaway: [Running into Briony on the street] Briony, what a coincidence!
- Briony Keagan: Is it a coincidence?
- DS James Hathaway: No, not really. I waited for you to leave your college, then followed you.
- Briony Keagan: Oh, so you're stalking me?
- DS James Hathaway: Well, I'm a policeman. It's surveillance, not stalking.
- [Hathaway phones Lewis as he is watching TV news footage of them tackling an escaped drug dealer and wrestling him to the ground]
- DI Robert Lewis: [gleefully] You watching this too? Best telly in years!
- DI Peterson: [after he has walked past her, he turns toward her] Oh, um. oh, I'm sorry. We haven't met. I'm kind of the new boy around here... Alan Peterson.
- [Extending his hand]
- Dr. Laura Hobson: [Shaking it] Laura Hobson. Got any dead or mutilated bodies... I'm your girl.
- DS James Hathaway: Are you going to see a doctor about your face?
- DI Robert Lewis: It's just a little bump.
- DS James Hathaway: I'm sure Dr. Hobson would take a look at it.
- DI Robert Lewis: Funny.
- DS James Hathaway: You have to be dead first?
- Francis Mitchell: Have you been using my computer, Helen?
- Helen Mitchell: Have you been cheatin' on me, Francis?
- Kit Renton: [Contemptuously to Lewis and Hathaway as they enter] I don't often get the bacon knocking on the door.
