16.69 Fifty-Fifty (Part One)

QUINNAN: The report of a body at the Bagford Rd Industrial Estate… confirm that there is a body at this location. [pause] It’s DS Boulton.

BEECH: He’s dead, Maggie.

GLAZE: That’s very generous. QUINNAN: Not really. GLAZE: Fifty quid? QUINNAN: It’s guilt, actually. I never liked him.

16.70 The River

Steve is too arrogant to listen to Claire’s warnings and foolishly trusts Don—with the expected result.

16.37 Love or Money (Part One)

HOLMES: Okay, so why is he so philosophical all of a sudden? DALY: Probably coming down with sommat.

HOLMES: Come on, what show did you book? Romeo and Juliet? The Prodigy? BOULTON: Oh, that’s very droll. HOLMES: You did book something, though, didn’t you? BOULTON: You’re good. You ever consider a career as a detective? HOLMES: Tell you what: let’s see if I can make sergeant. How many tickets did you buy? One? Two? BOULTON: Let’s just do what we came here to do, shall we?

Kerry is such a troll and I am so here for it.

STANTON: I think we should cool things off a bit, you know? BOULTON: What d’you mean? STANTON: Well, I, I think we’re taking it a bit fast. I, I, maybe we should have a break, you know? BOULTON: What’s brought this on? STANTON: Nothing. BOULTON: Really? STANTON: No, John, please. Can we, can we talk about it later? Not here. BOULTON: Yeah, yeah, course we can. STANTON: I’m really sorry.

The repetition in this dialogue is v.nicely done, whether that’s down to Salaman or the writer. It makes it feel forced and less genuine.

16.30 Warm Bodies: Part Two (Part One)

BOULTON: You okay? STANTON: No. BOULTON: It’s just delayed shock; all the adrenaline’s gone out of your system. And you failed to do what most police officers do in that situation. STANTON: What’s that? BOULTON: They replace it with alcohol. STANTON: Does it work? BOULTON: Er, no, it just makes everything go a bit blurred.

BOULTON: Claire, whoever did this to you, I’m going to find them and I’m going to put them away. I promise you that.

I love how this is John’s go-to regardless of the situation.

STANTON: Please, John, I really really want you to go. BOULTON: You sure about that? STANTON: This is out of order, John. BOULTON: What d’you mean? STANTON: You coming on to me like this when you know I’m in shock. BOULTON: That’s not fair. I’m just responding to what I see. STANTON: No, what you think you see. BOULTON: No! STANTON: Yes! Trust me, John, yes. BOULTON: This is a lot more than just being mates, isn’t it? Isn’t it? I really like you. A lot. And I… I don’t know, but I think you’ve got the same kind of feelings for me. Maybe not as much, but… Tell me I’m wrong. STANTON: You’re not wrong, but that’s not it. BOULTON: So what is it, then? What? Are you seeing someone else? STANTON: *nods* BOULTON: I… I did think that, you know, that might, um… It’s just that I didn’t see any, er… I’d better go, then. STANTON: Yeah.

Sometimes I feel like TB was getting money from the London tourist board with their random sightseeing location choices. The London Eye, now? Really? And after Don was threatening to throw someone over the side of Tower Bridge a few episodes earlier.

BOULTON: Claire, this is just emotional stuff. It’s not important.

John being very John.

This was my shit in elementary school when I played Tenor Sax for concert band.

The notion that constipation causes wetting is hardly new. This link was demonstrated in the 1980s by Sean O’Regan, a pediatric kidney specialist baffled by his 5-year-old son’s persistent bed-wetting.
