Dempsey and Makepeace

Dempsey: What are we supposed to do? Wait till he feels guilty and turns himself in? How are you gonna nail somebody if you don't nail somebody? Makepeace: The way Spikings said. First we find the connections, using police work Dempsey, not a hammer and nail. Would you like me to drop you off at the woodwork class? Dempsey: You know something Makepeace? Sometimes I'd like to tear those lips of you right off your face. Makepeace: What! Dempsey: It'd be the only way I could kiss them.

Spikings: The alarm systems upstairs weren't triggered, so we can assume the thief didn't come down the chimney, like Father Christmas. Whatever he did was fast, and clean, and right under your nose Dempsey: What do you want me to do? Resign? Confess? OK, so I was playing cards and left my X-ray vision at home. Sue me, I'm human! Spikings: We've only got your word for that, Dempsey.

Makepeace: Doesn't your libido ever get tired of you, Dempsey? Dempsey: You know, together I'm sure we could beat it.

Dempsey [ when Makepeace opens the door ]: I've come to take you away from all this, are you ready? Makepeace: You! I thought it was just a bad dream I was having.

Spikings: Go and get detective Makepeace out of bed. She'll enjoy that, I'm sure. I want the pair of you in my office within the hour. Dempsey: Wake up Harry? Any time, Sir. Spikings: Why don't you take her a boiled egg or something, you look like a waiter in that lot.
