Quotes 

• Doyle : I'm gonna ask Cowley for a rise.

  Bodie : That's *one* way of getting yourself killed. You know what you'll get, don't you?

  Doyle : No I don't. What will I get?

  Bodie : [bad German accent]  Doyle, do you realise how difficult it is running zis organisation on a restricted budget?

  Doyle : That's fantastic! Can you do a German accent?

  Bodie : Anyway, failing that, he'll hang you - not by the neck, either. Of course, he might not even be in yet - it's only half-past seven.

  Doyle : No, he'll be here. Work mad, our Führer.

• Bodie : [passing a scanning device around the inside of a caravan]  Any bright ideas?

  Doyle : Yeah, check everything, mate.

  Bodie : Everything?

  Doyle : Yeah, everything!

  [Bodie uses the scanning device on Doyle's hair] 

  Doyle : You know, I wonder about you sometimes!

• [a colleague has visited the lads and asked how they are feeling after the explosion in the caravan] 

  Bodie : [rubbing the bridge of his nose]  There's a little bloke inside my head whistling a tune, and I think he's forgotten it!

  Doyle : Well, personally speaking, I'm worrying how being officially listed as dead is going to cock up my next pay rise!

  [cut to colleague] 

  Doyle : I hope they don't cancel my pension!
