Ashes to Ashes Quote
[After a bomb has gone off at the South African embassy]
Jim Keats: I don't like it any more than you, but this is now an international incident. NOt something Fenchurch East really needs at this moment.
Gene Hunt: You know, I don't care about your report, Keats!
Jim Keats: Yes you do. That's what all this posturing's about!
Alex Drake: Guv, this is bigger than a spat with Special Branch; this is another state, another country.
Gene Hunt: "Gene Hunt versus another country"!? I rather like the sound of that!
Jim Keats: You know, you make my job so easy!
Alex Drake: Why haven't you gone home, Shaz?
Shaz: I did, but I couldn't sleep, Ma'am. Thought I'd see how Chris was.
Gene Hunt: Right, where is the Caped Crusader? [Chris walks in]
Chris Skelton: Here I am, Guv.
Gene Hunt: Go and bring Tobias up from the cells.
Chris Skelton: I can't do that.
Gene Hunt: Why not?
Chris Skelton: [noncommittally] He's not there. [looks away]
Gene Hunt: What do you mean, he's not there!?
Alex Drake: Where is he, Chris?
Chris Skelton: I don't know. [Gene rolls his eyes in exasperated annoyance]
Gene Hunt: You know, I realise it's been a long night and you're not the brightest button on the planet...!
Chris Skelton: I let him go. [everyone is shocked into silence]
Jim Keats: You let him go!? You idiot! You've released a murderer! A terrorist!
Gene Hunt: Hang on, you let him go? Although I expressly gave you orders to the contrary?
Chris Skelton: Guv, he was never going to get a fair trial in South Africa, probably no trial at all. So...
Jim Keats: [coldly] This is the ship you run, Hunt. No disci
