- Dempsey: [having just shot his traitorous partner] Joey... you shoulda had me Joey... you shoulda had me.
- Spikings: Leftenant Dempsey has been seconded to work with us for a while. He knows something about this investigation, so I want you to work together on it.
- [Makepiece gives a disapproving look]
- Spikings: You can also show him how we operate. We might even learn something from his methods. In New York, they think he's 'hot stuff'. Who knows? You might even make a team.
- Makepeace: Look, leftenant...
- Dempsey: Lieutenant.
- Makepeace: Somehow I don't think this is going to work.
- Dempsey: Why is that?
- Makepeace: I mean, how can we carry this off, if we don't even like each other?
- Dempsey: Well who says we have to like each other? Lots of married couples hate each other's guts. We could be one of them. What do you say, Sharon, baby?
- Spikings: Damn me, Dempsey, did you have to kill five men? Couldn't you have... killed one and wounded the others?
- Lord Winfield: My dear, the head of this whole department happens to be none other than old Commander Duffield.
- Makepeace: Uncle Duffy? But he went peculiar!
- Lord Winfield: Well yes, exactly.
- Makepeace: Well how come you had already booked a suite when you told me it was a spur of the moment idea?
- Dempsey: Oh, it was a spur, it was just a different spur. Based on the advice of my father.
- [takes a bite of caviar]
- Makepeace: Oh yes?
- Dempsey: Yeah, he always said: whenever you check into a new city, always reserve the honeymoon suite.
- Makepeace: Even when you're traveling alone?
- Dempsey: Well like my father said: you never know when you might get lucky.
