[Sam & Gene are questioning a suspect]
Gene Hunt: You know, if you were Pinocchio you'd have just poked my eye out!

[Sam and Annie are standing on the steps outside, Gene Hunt approaches with Leonard, a witness who Annie has just agreed to watch overnight]
Sam Tyler: Annie's going to sit with him tonight.
Gene Hunt: Hey, Leonard! Fanny in the flat! Nice work!

[Sam and Gene are having another discussion about police work]
Sam Tyler: Our definitions of policing may vary marginally.
Gene Hunt: And yours is?
Sam Tyler: Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law.
Gene Hunt: Training college?
Sam Tyler: Robocop. [Pause] You can't uphold the law by breaking it.

[Sam comes back from the deeper coma]
Doctor: 10 mils of adrenaline did the trick.
Sam Tyler: 10 mils. The perfect 10!

[Sam has asked Annie to contribute to the investigation - much to the jeers of the other male detectives]
Sam Tyler: Now the victim wasn't gagged. Why didn't he gag her, Annie?
Annie Cartwright: Because he needed to, er, he needed to see her mouth, her lips. We have to see the things that we value.
Sam Tyler: Now put yourselves in the mind of this man. You're lonely. Every night you dream of this girl, and she's got big eyes and red ruby lips. So you go out and you find that girl, and you bring her home. But you don't gag her, cos you want to see those ruby lips, but you just can't bring yourself to kiss 'em.
Annie Cartwright: He'd get embarrassed, angry, he'd start to blame the girl. It's her fault, she's taunting him by just being there.
Sam Tyler: And then one day you just snap. Strangle her, using bootlace, and the cycle starts all over again with a different girl. And this time, you're positive that you're going to be brave enough to kiss her.
Annie Cartwright: Only you won't be.

[Sam has just returned to 1973 and to where the shoot-out is]
Gene Hunt: Tyler!
Annie Cartwright: Sam! Help us!
[Sam shoots the last remaining gang member who is about to shoot Gene again]
Gene Hunt: Now that's just showing off.
Sam Tyler: [To Annie] Are you alright?
[She nods]
Sam Tyler: I told you I'd never leave you.
Gene Hunt: Well, good for us!
[Sam tries to help Gene to stand up]
Gene Hunt: Get off. I'm not a fairy!

[Sam has just revealed that he is betraying Gene]
Annie Cartwright: That's why you're leaving, isn't it? I bet sometimes you can't look at yourself in the mirror.
[Starts to cry]
Annie Cartwright: I listened to all your problems and worries, and I can't believe I felt sorry for you.
[Slaps Sam]
Annie Cartwright: Hurts, doesn't it? That's because it's real!

[Sam hears Jimmy Savile on the radio]
Jimmy Savile: Wow! But the big news is they've found the cause of Sam's prolonged coma! Ooh! Now then guys and gals, there's a tumour in the temporal lobe of Sam's brain, they thought it was a clot but, hows about that, a clot it is not! Wow! It may be operable, double wow!...Our very good friends here at the hopsital say they can cut out the tumour.
Sam Tyler: Cut it out! Cut it out! Fix it for me, Jim!.

[Sam is at the hospital after checking on Layla who is pregnant with Maya, when he sees Annie walking towards him]
Annie Cartwright: The guv wanted me to see if you're doing anything stupid. You're not are you?
Sam Tyler: No.
Annie Cartwright: Right, that's me off duty then.
[She turns and starts walking away]
Sam Tyler: Annie, I just wanted you to know, the business with...
Annie Cartwright: ...Layla.
Sam Tyler: Yeah, it's not what you think.
Annie Cartwright: Y'know it's none of my business.
Sam Tyler: It was just unfinished business and now it's finished. That's all. [He smiles and kisses Annie on the cheek]
Annie Cartwright: Bye, Sam. [She turns to leave but then turns back] And get some sleep. [She leaves]

[Sam stands on a building roof, planning to jump to wake up from his coma]
Annie Cartwright: We all feel like jumping sometimes, Sam. But we don't, you and me. Because we're not cowards.

[Sam Tyler asks Leonard, a witness, the registration number of the car that he saw]
Leonard: E... dunno.
Gene Hunt: Sorry, was that you saying the letter E and then you don't know the rest, or was that you saying "Ee, I dunno!"?

[Sam Tyler is hand cuffed to his bed, naked]
Gene Hunt: Morning
Sam Tyler: Piss off
Gene Hunt: Well it's not all badminton and golf in Hyde, then eh?

[Sam's back in present day and is in a meeting]
Man: Sam look at your hand.
Sam Tyler: [He looks at his thumb which is bleeding from an accidental cut] I can't feel anything. [ Life on Mars? starts playing in the background]
Man: What?
Sam Tyler: Excuse me. [He leaves]

[Sam's coming down the one-way street with some food in both hands, about to step on the walkway when a cyclist from behind almost hits him]
Sam Tyler: Oi! [upset] Keep it on the road! [walks along some steps, adding semi-joking/sternly] Comin' 'round your house, stamp on your toys!"

[Snatching Bond's ticket for the match away from him]
Peter Bond: That's mine!
Sam Tyler: This doesn't belong to you. This belongs to decent people, who work hard all week and take their kids to the match on a Saturday! People like Colin Clay!
