Steve McAndrew : [struggling to open package] Acting head; what is he, a temp?
Danny Griffin : Uh, until Sasha's back on her feet.
Steve McAndrew : Ted Case: wasn't he the DCI that...
Danny Griffin : that came good for Gerry, yeah.
Steve McAndrew : Yeah. I don't see why we can't keep things ticking over; I mean we're the ones with the expertise. What the hell do they make Sellotape out of over there?

Steve McAndrew : What?
Danny Griffin : in the U.S. it's called Scotch tape. And Gerry ought to be careful; he's supposed to be dead, not sending us Jiffy bags.

Danny Griffin : OK.
Steve McAndrew : Gerry sounds a bit down, eh.
