- Brian Lane: What's all this?
- Esther Lane: It's that jogger that got attacked in the park the other week.
- Brian Lane: What about her? I thought they caught the bloke.
- Esther Lane: Well, they got a man that answered the description, but I've found several other similar attacks online. There's lots in common but it can't be the man they've got because he's left-handed.
- Brian Lane: Esther, what are you doing?
- Esther Lane: It's just interesting.
- Brian Lane: It's none of our business. And I'm retired now. For the second time.
- Esther Lane: You might be. But I'm not.
- Esther Lane: Your head?
- Brian Lane: What about it?
- Esther Lane: How's it feeling?
- Brian Lane: Hmm.
- Esther Lane: Brian?
- Brian Lane: Yeah, go on. If you're putting the kettle on anyway, I'll have a cuppa, ta.
- Esther Lane: A serious head injury? Who would know?
