Rebecca Front: Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent

Quotes 

• [while at Dr Hobson's party, a neighbour reported an intruder so Lewis and Hathaway left the party to investigate. Now the neighbour has complained that they were drunk and facetious to him. Innocent rebukes them] 

  DI Robert Lewis : We promise not to do it again.

  Chief Superintendent Innocent : Good. You see, the principle behind a partnership such as yours is that the junior officer matures to the level of the senior, rather than that the senior officer should regress.

  DI Robert Lewis : [chastened]  I'll bear it in mind.

  [Innocent walks away, then turns back to them] 

  Chief Superintendent Innocent : Was it a good party?

  DS James Hathaway : Compared with what?

  Chief Superintendent Innocent : Serves me right for asking!
