Quotes 

• [Regan and Carter have taken Harry Fuller in for questioning because they want to know how he has got all the cash that he has been buying drinks with. He is blind drunk and incoherent and has thrown up on Carter's jacket. Now they are letting him go] 

  Det. Insp. Jack Regan : There's just one more thing, Harry. Forget about your own problems and put the nation first - have a bath!

• [Regan and Carter have taken Mr Bradshaw, the auditor, to the pub with the express aim of getting him too drunk to work] 

  Det. Insp. Jack Regan : When he came in, he was drinking lemonade. Now he's on doubles.

  Det. Insp. Jack Regan : Trebles.

  DC Jimmy Thorpe : He said he didn't drink. He won't be much use like that.

  Det. Insp. Jack Regan : [grinning]  Oh yes he will. The sky should fall in any minute, then we can send him off home.

• [Carter and Fred have just finished changing the wheel after a puncture. Regan sees Deller running away, leaps into the car and chases after him] 

  Det. Insp. Jack Regan : Hello. Mr Deller. You are in good shape, aren't you. My name's Regan, Flying Squad. I think you'd better stop. It'll be better for both of us. You're nicked and I'm not authorized or insured to drive this car.
