- [Joe is discussing his plans for the evening]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: I'm looking for something a little more...
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: Exciting?
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Exciting.
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: You know what your problem is Thrills? You solve a big case and you've got to come down, I've seen it before. You need to do something wild to keep the juices flowing.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Like what?
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: In the old days I would've said go down to the pub and get into a fight.
- [Joe gets up to leave]
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: Uh-uh, I said that was the old days. These days we live in touchy-feely times.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: No disrespect, boss, but I don't exactly want to get touchy-feely with you.
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: That's a shame, I shaved awfully close.
- [Laughs]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: So what do you suggest?
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: Think happy thoughts. Have a merangue. Have six more of these.
- [pushes beers towards him]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: [toasts] To misery.
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: To misery, Thrills. Have a good night.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Bye, boss.
- [Ted leaves the office. Joe continues drinking]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: [to Fran at his door] Tell your daughter to give me a call.
- Fran Hoffmann: She's downstairs in the car, actually. We're going out to dinner. We're celebrating.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: What's the occasion?
- Fran Hoffmann: I'm going back to wrok in a few weeks. Want to join us?
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Who's paying?
- [sighs]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Hmm? Come on, what's the catch?
- Fran Hoffmann: That's so typical of you, Joe. You think everyone's got an ulterior motive.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Alright, thank you for asking. I accept.
- Fran Hoffmann: Good. You can keep Lachlan busy while I talk to my daughter.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: I knew there was a catch. There's no way I'm spending my Tuesday night watching that prick feed your daughter garlic bread.
- Fran Hoffmann: Now look,
- [takes Joe's keys from his hand]
- Fran Hoffmann: I'm going to spend some quality time with my daughter and you're going to talk to Lachlan.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Give me my keys, that's theft! Give them back.
- Fran Hoffmann: Then arrest me.
- [she walks downstairs - Joe sighs, and follows]
- Daphne Mullins: [about a murder victim] I see Mr.Gibson every six months to sign forms.
- Snr. Constable Theo Rahme: What sort of forms are those?
- Daphne Mullins: Green ones.
- Nicole Brown: [discussing a theif's motive] Maybe that's why he did it. Got sick of being walked all over. Of being Rory Snory.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: [hands her a box of Viagra he found] Don't judge a book by its cover.
- Nicole Brown: Viagra.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Pills of Thrills.
- [Nicole chuckles]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: You hungry? Want to get something to eat?
- Nicole Brown: [hands Viagra back] Strictly business?
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Don't be ridiculous, Constable Brown, of course. Hey... want to try these out?
- [both laugh]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: How long would it take a woman?
- Nicole Brown: Don't know. Ask Theo.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Constable Brown?
- Nicole Brown: Sorry, I was just thinking about that bed.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: My bed?
- [raises eyebrows mischeviously]
- Nicole Brown: Very funny.
- Lachlan Shaw: I like that dress.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: Thank you.
- Lachlan Shaw: [Hugs her] Wonder what it would look like on the floor.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: [quietly] My mum's joining us for dinner.
- Lachlan Shaw: [Turns and sees Harriet's mum watching them] What a nice surprise!
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: [holds up set of keys] Could you please drop these off to my mum?
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: I'd rather stick needles in my eye.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: Come on, just throw them at her and run.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: I will.
- [takes keys begrudginly]
- Constable Sophia Marinkovitch: [catching Theo] Theo, wait. Look, um, I know that things have been weird between us for a while and I know I said that work relationships can't... work, but maybe they can, I don't know. But the thing is, I know I said I didn't want things to go any further between us, and maybe I do, now. Look, I've finally decided on something I need to do, so I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm willing to take the risk if you are.
- [she turns and leaves a very stunned Theo]
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: [at an open house, just before an auction] Yes, there's still a fair amount of blood in between the floorboards. See that.
- [Gestures to client]
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: You're the forensic boys, aren't you?
- Client: No.
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: Oh, sorry.
- [extends his hand]
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: Detective Chief Ted Hudson, from Kingsway. I'm just finalizing a murder inspection here.
- [points to floor]
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: Got a lot of blood. It's amazing how difficult it is to get out. And that smell... smell that? You never get it out. Ever.
- [stands]
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: Still, it's a pretty good place. I like those little lights. I love them.
- [leaves bewildered clients]
- Auctioneer: Who will open the bidding? Anybody?
- [no one is bidding. Ted shrugs]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: [sees a suspect coming towards Harriet and his survelliance car] Shit!
- [Grabs Harriet and begins to kiss her. The suspect passes in front of the car and Joe lets her go]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: No need to thank me. I just saved your life.
- Constable Sophia Marinkovitch: [waking up with Theo] Sleeping with your work partner, isn't that pretty high on the list of dumb things to do?
- Snr. Constable Theo Rahme: [in a tuxedo after sleeping over at Sophie's] I feel like such an idiot dressed like this.
- Constable Sophia Marinkovitch: Don't worry, you look great.
- Snr. Constable Theo Rahme: Yeah, it's a good thing your underwear fit me.
- Gemma Mancuzzo: Ah, Theo, nice to see you dressed for the occasion.
- Snr. Constable Theo Rahme: [in tuxedo] Yeah, well, I'd knew you'd be here, Gemma.
- Gemma Mancuzzo: Oh, Theo, you angling for a promotion or something?
- Snr. Constable Theo Rahme: [in tuxedo] Yeah, I want your job, Gemma.
- Gemma Mancuzzo: Good luck.
- Jimmy: [very large prisonner] Bastards, those cops.
- [to Joe and Harriet]
- Jimmy: You're not cops are you?
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: No, no. We're government excorts.
- [Joe is trying to get out of sleeping in the same room as a snoring prisonner]
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Can I sleep in here? We can go top to toe, or something.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: Well, he's not going anywhere, how about a walk?
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Sure, on the beach or something. Or a bar.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: Yeah, sounds good.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: [trying to argue her way out of going on a trip to a tropical island for a prisonner exchange] I've go to have dinner with my mother tonight, Joe.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Tongan, or dinner with the Fuhrer? Pretty hard choice, isn't it, Harriet? Come on, we're going away to a tropical paradise!
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: It's not going to be a tropical paradise, Joe, you know what those islands are like.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Yeah, sandy beaches.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: Cyclones.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Moonlit lagoons.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: Military coos.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Cocktails by the pool.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: What if our flight is cancelled and we can't get back?
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Cyclones? Military coos? Cancelled flights? You're coming up with some pretty flimsy excuses why you don't want to go away. Is it the company?
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: Don't be ridiculous.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Are you worried about spending time alone with me on a tropical island?
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: I have not problem being alone with you, Joe Hill.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: Good. Then go home and pack your bags cause we're due back here in 45 minutes. Oh, and bring your bathing suit.
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: [anwsering phone] Hello? Detective Marinkovitch's phone.
- [beat]
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: Do I sound like Sophie Marinkovitch? Can you call back later please? Thank you.
- Det. Snr. Sgt. Ted Hudson: [to Theo and Sophie] What are you two pixies doing?
- Snr. Constable Theo Rahme: [checking survelliance tapes] Watching TV, boss.
- Det. Sgt. Joe Hill: [offering keys to escort for a hotel room] Here you go. Enjoy.
- Det. Snr. Constable Harriet Walker: [stealing the other keys from his hand for the room next door] It's a double bed, Joe. I'm sure you'll be fine.
- [she leaves. Joe looks dejectedly at his roommate]
