- DI James Hathaway: I thought you had *lots* of plans for your retirement.
- DI Robert Lewis: I did; I do.
- DI James Hathaway: You not enjoying it?
- DI Robert Lewis: Of course I am. Just taking a bit of a break.
- DI James Hathaway: You're taking a break... from your retirement.
- DI Robert Lewis: Yeah, that's all
- Dr. Laura Hobson: [reading Hathaway's warrant card] "DI Hathaway". Congratulations.
- [she kisses him on both cheeks]
- Dr. Laura Hobson: Knew you'd be back; once a copper always a copper.
- Dr. Laura Hobson: From the hypostasis I'd say he's not been dead much more than two hours. The bullet's entered the side of the skull here but it's not exited. So it was travelling at a low velocity by the time it hit. Sniper at... long range possibly?
- DI James Hathaway: Any chance of the post-mortem results this afternoon? I need the bullet intact.
- [Laura stares at him]
- DI James Hathaway: If possible.
- Dr. Laura Hobson: I give all my DIs three strikes. Try not to use them all up in your first investigation.
- DI James Hathaway: [Hathaway grins and gives a mock salute] Message received.
- DI Robert Lewis: Can I give you a piece of advice?
- DI James Hathaway: Yeah, if I can ignore it.
- DI Robert Lewis: Don't push yourself so hard. Let Maddux help you. Make sure you get some sleep.
- DI James Hathaway: That's three pieces of advice.
- DI Robert Lewis: Okay, prioritize the sleep thing.
- Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent: If it's consistency you want, I refer you to Exhibit A...
- [indicates Lewis]
- Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent: Feared extinct, now back in its natural habitat.
- DI Robert Lewis: A little respect for the elderly.
- Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent: Not likely.
- [Hathaway and Maddox go to interview an animal rights protester. They find her with a group of others in Radcliffe Square. Each protester is dressed as an animal and is inside a wire crate]
- DS Lizzie Maddox: [pointing at one crate] Second cow on the left!
- DI James Hathaway: They forced the door. Nothing was taken, so I just assumed it was skinniy-dipping students.
- DI Robert Lewis: Smetimes I wished I had goe to university.
- [first lines]
- Alistair Stoke: I will not tell you that it gets better. It doesn't. Thirty years in and I see that...
- Lorraine Fernsby: Started already!
- Alistair Stoke: What?
- Lorraine Fernsby: "You will always feel afraid. You should always feel afraid."
- Alistair Stoke: Well, they haven't heard it before. My point is that surgery is violent, and the day that stops frightening you is the day you should give up your job.
