  • Danny Butterman: So what made you want to become a policeman?

    Nicholas Angel: Officer.

    Danny Butterman: What made you want to become a policeman-officer?

    Nicholas Angel: I don't remember a time when I didn't want to be a police officer... apart from the summer of 1979 when I wanted to be Kermit the Frog. It all started with my Uncle Derek. He was a Sergeant in the Met. He bought me a police pedal car when I was five. I rode around in it every second I was awake - arresting kids twice my size for littering and spitting. I got beaten up a lot when I was young, but it didn't stop me. I wanted to be like Uncle Derek.

    Danny Butterman: He sounds like a good bloke.

    Nicholas Angel: Actually, he was arrested for selling drugs to students.

    Danny Butterman: What a cunt...

    Nicholas Angel: Probably bought the pedal car with the proceeds. Needless to say, I never went near it again. I just let it rust. But I never lost the profound sense of right and wrong I felt at the wheel of that pedal car. I had to prove to myself that the Law could be proper and righteous and for the good of humankind. It was from that moment that I was destined to be a police officer.

    Danny Butterman: Shame...

    Nicholas Angel: How so?

    Danny Butterman: I think you would have made a great Muppet...

    Joyce Cooper: "Fascism"! Wonderful. Now, we've put you in the Castle Suite. Bernard will escort you over there.

    Nicholas Angel: Well, actually, I can probably make my own way up. Hag!

    Joyce Cooper: I beg your pardon?

    Nicholas Angel: Evil old woman, considered frightful or ugly, 12 down.

    Joyce Cooper: [thinks about it] Oh... bless you!

  • [Danny and Nicholas have just watched 'Point Break']

    Danny Butterman: What do you think?

    DS Andy Cartwright: Yeah, we'll put a call in to Aaron A. Aaronson, shall we?

    DS Andy Wainwright: Ohh, and how did you establish that?

    Danny Butterman: [pounds table] 'Cause we sat through three hours of so-called acting last night, and the kiss was the only convincing moment in it.

    DS Andy Wainwright: All right, pipe down, biggun'.

    DS Andy Cartwright: Here, what else you got, Crockett and Tubby?

    Nicholas Angel: Skid marks.

    DS Andy Wainwright: Now who's being childish?

    Neighbourhood Watch Alliance: The Greater Good.

    Nicholas Angel: Shut it!

  • Nicholas Angel: Police work is as much about preventing crime as it is about fighting crime. Most importantly, it is about procedural correctness in the execution of unquestionable moral authority.

  • [Skinner is explaining why the NWA had Martin Blower murdered]

    Simon Skinner: You see, much as I enjoyed your wild theories Sergeant, the truth is far less complex. Blower's fate was simply the result of his being... an appalling actor.

    Nicholas Angel: You murdered him for that?

    Simon Skinner: He murdered Bill Shakespeare.

    Nicholas Angel: What? Oh.

I thought I might take them up on it. I haven't really got that much family round here, save my cousin Sissy. So I thought I might take them up on the offer and move to Buford Abbey. Would you like a card with this?

    Nicholas Angel: [In shock at what he's hearing] Wha... no... sorry, you were talking about the offer.

    Leslie Tiller: [continuing rapidly] Well, it turns out that Martin Blower - God rest him - knew where the new Bypass Road is going 'cause he was knocking off Eve Draper from the council - God rest her. And then that reporter - God rest him - finds out about the route and tells me this land is very valuable. Ten times what George Merchant and Martin Blower - God rest them - offered me. So with them having passed on, I decided to sell it all myself to some folks from the city that Martin, George, and Eve - God rest the lot of them - have been talking to. Apparently, they want to build a big shopping center or something. Of course, Cousin Sissy won't be too happy about that but, as far as I'm concerned, Cousin Sissy can go and fu...

    Nicholas Angel: [cutting her off] Would you just excuse me for just one second?

    [He rushes out to his squad car]

  • Sergeant: Hello Nicholas.

    Nicholas Angel: Hello Sergeant.

    Sergeant: How's the hand?

    Nicholas Angel: Still a bit stiff.

    Sergeant: It can get awfully hairy out there. I'm surprised you weren't snapped up sooner for a nice desk job. That's what I did.

    Nicholas Angel: I prefer to think my office is out on the street.

    Sergeant: Indeed you do! Your arrest record is four hundred percent higher than any other officer, which is why it's high time that such... skills... were put to better use. We're making you sergeant.

    Nicholas Angel: I see.

    Sergeant: [mumbles]

    Nicholas Angel: In where, sorry?

    Sergeant: In Sandford, Gloucestershire.

    Nicholas Angel: But that's in the country...

    Sergeant: Yes! Lovely!

    Nicholas Angel: Isn't there a sergeant's position here in London?

    Sergeant: Oh, no.

    Nicholas Angel: Can I remain here as a PC?

    Sergeant: No.

    Nicholas Angel: Do I have any choice in this?

    Nicholas Angel: Cornetto.

  • Danny Butterman: [running to police car] I'll drive!

    Nicholas Angel: SHOTGUN!

    Nicholas Angel: Punch!... That!... Shit!

  • Nicholas Angel: Yes, sir. Why is everyone eating chocolate cake?

    Inspector Frank Butterman: The Black Forest gateau is on Danny, as punishment for his little indiscretion.

    Nicholas Angel: His...? Sir, I don't think driving under the influence can be called a "little indiscretion."

    Inspector Frank Butterman: No, the gateau is for misplacing his helmet the other week. Last night's incident will require something a rather more serious. Do you like ice cream?

    Nicholas Angel: I'm sorry, sir. I don't follow.

    Inspector Frank Butterman: Let's just say that we won't be short of Chunky Monkey for the next month.

    Danny Butterman: [annoyed] Daaaaaad!

  • Nicholas Angel: Ow! You cheeky fucker!

  • Nicholas Angel: [to Inspector Butterman] With respect, sir, geographical location shouldn't factor in the application of the law.

    [Danny tries to hand him a piece of cake]

    Nicholas Angel: No thanks.

  • Roy Porter: Another *cranberry* juice, Sergeant Angel?

    Nicholas Angel: No, I'm good, thank you.

  • Nicholas Angel: If you had paid attention to me in school, you'd understand it's not all about car chases and excitement.

    [they chase and catch the speeding car]

    Danny Butterman: Now that was *brilliant*.

  • [Frank Butterman is fleeing in a police car but crashes into a tree when he is distracted by the swan that Nicholas and Danny captured earlier]

    Danny Butterman: You don't have to say anything at all.

  • Nicholas Angel: [about his notebook] This is the most important piece of equipment you will ever own. This notebook has saved my skin more times than I care to remember. Do you use yours?

    Danny Butterman: Yeah I use it.

    [shows him a flip animation]

    Nicholas Angel: [stunned] That's just extraordinary.

    Danny Butterman: You should see the one on the other side.

  • Nicholas Angel: We just sat through three hours of so-called acting, constable, and their kiss was the only convincing moment of it.

  • Nicholas Angel: I just want to be... good at what I do.

    Danny Butterman: You are good at what you do, you just need to switch off that big ol' melon of yours.

    Nicholas Angel: That's just it Danny, I don't think I know how.

    Danny Butterman: I can show you.

    [opens doors to a closet, reveals his rather large and extensive DVD collection]

    Nicholas Angel: [stunned] By the power of Greyskull!

    Danny Butterman: Point Break or Bad Boys II?

    Nicholas Angel: Which do you think I'd prefer?

    Danny Butterman: No I mean which do you want to watch first?

    Nicholas Angel: You are pulling my leg right?

  • [Angel and Butterman are driving to interview Arthur Webley, with PC Walker and his dog riding in the back]

    Nicholas Angel: What do we need the dog for?

    Danny Butterman: [chuckles] It's not the dog we need.

    [cut to the interview with Webley]

    Arthur Webley: [mumbles unintelligibly]

    Nicholas Angel: Right...

    [turns to Butterman and Walker]

    Nicholas Angel: What did he say?

    PC Bob Walker: He said...

    [mumbles only slightly more intelligibly]

    Nicholas Angel: [turns to Butterman] What did he say?

    Danny Butterman: He said, "an hedge is an hedge, he only chopped it down because it spoilt his view, and what's Reaper moaning about?"

  • Nicholas Angel: And are they as big as he is?

    Danny Butterman: Who?

    Nicholas Angel: The mum and the sister?

    Danny Butterman: Same person.

  • Nicholas Angel: [blocked by a gaggle of women pushing baby strollers] Oh you mothers.

  • Dr. Robin Hatcher: [showing CCTV footage of the estate explosion] Interesting - we only seem to get a glimpse of the outer-most edge of the explosion. But we did happen to catch a glimpse of Sandford's most wanted!

    Danny Butterman: A beer?

    Nicholas Angel: [pauses] Umm...?

  • Inspector Frank Butterman: And he had one thing you haven't got.

    Nicholas Angel: What's that, sir?

  • Nicholas Angel: What the f-!

    Inspector Frank Butterman: Sergeant!
