  Gerry Standing : They're taking the piss!

  PC Clark : Not yet, but they certainly will be. Three hundred millilitres minimum.

• Superintendent Sandra Pullman : [Pullman has caught PC Clarke acting as Tea Boy]  Hang on! I thought we had an understanding not using Clarke as a tea boy.

  Jack Halford : It was just a one-off.

  Brian Lane : [Brian enters]  Well, you wouldn't make it a two-off, would you, son? I'm parched.

  Superintendent Sandra Pullman : All right, make it a three-off. Coffee, please.

  [Gerry walks in, and spots the tray Clark is holding] 

  Gerry Standing : Whoa! Chocolate biscuits! Here, get us a cup of tea, son.

  [about the possibility of Sandra taking a promotion] 

  Gerry Standing : She wouldn't, would she? I mean, what's SO-10 got that UCOS hasn't?
