Dennis Waterman: Gerry Standing

Quotes 

• Gerry Standing : [about questioning a elderly person with dementia]  Whoa, whoa, you tread carefully there, guvner.

  DCI Sasha Miller : Yeah, I intend to.

  Gerry Standing : No, but even a hint of a balls-up, the CPS'd drop this quicker than a whore's drawers on a Friday night.

• Steve McAndrew : Look, Gerry, about what I said the other day, uh... I was out of order, OK?

  Gerry Standing : Well, at least we agree on something.

  Steve McAndrew : It's,i-it's just not the same drinking without you, all right. It's cheaper, granted, but... it's a bit like... Batman without Robin.

  Gerry Standing : More like Laurel without Hardy... And I don't expect you needed me on your case.

  [long pause] 

  Steve McAndrew : Pint?

  Gerry Standing : I'll grab me coat.

• Gerry Standing : Hold on, hold on! Look, we're talking about the fifties here. If you were depressed, you had a swift drink and got on with it. Not like today; you can't move in here without someone sending you to a bleeding counsellor.
