Quote:

With a serial attacker at large, Gene and Alex investigate a rape allegation from a prostitute. Drake has a hard time convincing the team to take the allegation seriously and efforts are blighted by an unreliable witness and the status of the suspect.

Chris Skelton: Steady on, Guv! Nearly lost me breakfast then!
Gene Hunt: What is that?
Chris Skelton: It's a kebab.
Gene Hunt: Looks like a bloody pasty with its arse hanging out!

Alex Drake: This requires a cognitive interview procedure.
Gene Hunt: We're fresh out of cognitives. What say we just talk to her?
Alex Drake: I don't think she'll open up with a man present.
Gene Hunt: Plenty of women have opened up to me without so much as a shandy down their necks.

Gene as subtle as ever.

Alex not taking their crap at all.

... Christ on a bike.

Come on, ladies, what are you waiting for? Let's get pissed.

Keeley's expert hangover acting

Alex Drake: Be honest, Viv. How do I look?
Viv James: Uh, fine.
Alex Drake: Thank you. Word of advice? Don't bother with poker.

Alex dumping the gnome in the bin

Gene Hunt: I am trying to help you here!
Alex Drake: Well I don't need your help! Their archaic attitude is their problem, not mine!
Gene Hunt: Wrong. It's my problem. To keep this department running smoothly, I need their respect, which I've got. They look up to me, they should be looking up to you and all!
Alex Drake: What do you want me to do, morph into a nun!? IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE SHAGGED AN ENTIRE RUGBY TEAM, IS IT!?
Ray Carling: [outside] I'll bet she has. [the rest of CID laugh]
Alex Drake: It's your fault, anyway!
Gene Hunt: How is it my fault!?
Alex Drake: Because you left me on my own, and I ended up with some Thatcherite wanker!
Gene Hunt: I told you to go to bed, alone! If you'd listened to me in the first place, we wouldn't be wasting my time, having this ridiculous conversation!

Keeley looking gorgeous in that corset

Chris: ... jammy bastard.

Oh Ray, using your own filthy (I imagine) sock as a puppet

but he got her to talk, so what can I say

posh, crazy christian

Ryan Burns: I am the vine! You are the branches! John, Chapter 15, Verse 5!
Gene Hunt: You're nicked for the murder of Delphine Parks, the rape and attempted murder of Nina Akiboa. Anything you say will be taken down, ripped up and shoved down your scrawny little throat until you're choked to death. Gene Hunt, Chapter 1, Verse 2.

I completely forgot the ending!
