Quotes 

• Gene : [to a handful of kids, staring at his car]  Anything happens to this motor, I'll come 'round your houses and stamp on all your toys. Got it? Good kids.

• Gene : They reckon you've got concussion - I couldn't give a tart's furry cup if half your brains are falling out. Don't *ever* waltz into my kingdom acting king of the jungle.

  Sam Tyler : Who the hell are you?

  Gene : Gene Hunt. Your DCI. And it's 1973. Almost dinner time. I'm 'aving hoops.

• Gene : I may be the sheriff, but I'm a deputy to the law.

  Gene Hunt : We're looking for a short skinny bird, wears a big coat, lots of gob.

• [Gene violently pushes a table aside]
