Quotes 

• [Adam Douglas has been arrested as he tried to flee the scene of the murder. Hathaway is interviewing him at the police station] 

  DS James Hathaway : Where were you planning on going with thirty quid and an out-of-date passport? As far as master-plans go, it's pretty stupid.

  Adam Douglas : *I'm* the one studying Classics at Oxford and *you're* the one working in this toilet, so just watch who you're calling stupid.

  DS James Hathaway : We're *both* in the toilet, Adam.

  [Hathaway grins] 

  DS James Hathaway : [whispers gleefully]  But I can leave.

  [to make his point, Hathaway opens the door and walks out of the room] 

• DS James Hathaway : [after showing DI Lewis whodunit, where "it" is attempted vehicular manslaughter]  This is the bit where you say "Well done Hathaway", and I shrug, modestly.

• DS James Hathaway : Amy's body was in the garden, two floors below the room she was sleeping in. The cause of death is a blow to the head or the head hitting a rock.

  DI Robert Lewis : Suicide?

  DS James Hathaway : [Dryly]  Dr. Hobson is consulting the cadaver even now.

  DI Robert Lewis : You're very chipper this morning, James.

  DS James Hathaway : I'm crying inside.

• Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent : What's the matter with him? Not our lovely Laura, I hope. Honestly, sometimes I just want to bang their heads together. Two grown-up single people who obviously like each other. Don't you think, Hathaway?

  DS James Hathaway : I try not to, ma'am.

  Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent : Oh, you're hopeless!

• Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent : You should talk some sense into him, Hathaway.

  DS James Hathaway : Unless of course I agree with him, Ma'am.

  Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent : You're supposed to drag Lewis out of the dark ages, not join him there.

• Dane Wise : [after attacking Hathaway in the dark]  Sorry, I thought you were breakin' in.

  DS James Hathaway : No, just a social call.

• DS James Hathaway : Could Ketanex have contributed to Amy's death?

  Alex Gansa : [Pausing to stare at Hathaway]  Sorry, you're an odd policeman.

  Alex Gansa : [Hathaway makes a scoffing noise]  I mean, yo-you're odd for a policeman. I-is this a second career perhaps?

  DS James Hathaway : We're talking about you.

• Shauna Malin : I really don't want to speculate.

  DS James Hathaway : Sure you do. Go on, knock yourself out.

• DI Robert Lewis : Lurking around doors, like a...

  DS James Hathaway : Yeti?

  DI Robert Lewis : No, not a Yeti.

• Shauna Malin : I really don't want to speculate.

  DS James Hathaway : Yes you do. Go on, knock yourself out.

  [Encouraging] 

• DS James Hathaway : [Clarifying]  So Jack is your boyfriend?

  Karen Wilde : [Being Sarcastic]  No, I'll screw anything that moves.
