- Alex: Did Sam Tyler have any kids? Jackie Queen: Oh, did you know Sam? Alex: A little bit, yeah, yeah. He married Annie? Jackie Queen: Happiest couple I ever saw, but no kids, no. Alex: Did he ever ask you about anything? Jackie Queen: Like what? Alex: I don't know, the future? Jackie Queen: (scoffs) The future? Alex: Did he seem unhappy? Did he ever talk about getting back somewhere? Jackie Queen: No, once he settled down and stopped fighting whatever it was he was fighting, then yes, he was happy. I wrote his obituary for the paper; I wrote he was the most loved man I ever met. Alex: Good, good, I'm glad. Well that's the difference, you see. I, um, I have to get back… Somebody needs me.

- D/Supt Mackintosh: 'Double, double, toil and trouble'; here's a pretty picture. Supermac uses part of the three witches' chant from Shakespeare's Macbeth (Act IV, Scene I) as he invades Gene's office.
