Quotations

(tries to open car door) Idiot! Pull up!

I'm going to do the good cop-bad cop routine.

It is a lovely wea'zer we are 'aving. If ze' wea'zer stays 'zis mild, we are bound to have a love-a-ly Summer. [Attacks the curtains as if someone is hiding there, the curtains fall] Ze' area is secure.

Good one!

Stop browbeating her! Can't you see she is sexy?!

Right now the killer is being surrounded by a web of deduction, forensic science and the latest in technology such as two-way radios and e-mail.

A woman is like a... artichoke; you have to do a bit of work, before you get to her heart.

[When Nicole asks if he should get some rest] Crime does not rest, Nicole.

[When asked if he thinks the killer is watching, while at a press conference] If I was the killer, I would certainly be watching me, and perhaps also recording for future playbacks. Because, you know, it is a big deal to be talked about on TV.

[Ending the press conference] Killer, I will find you, because I am a servant of the nation and justice is justice and Fwance is Fwance
