"You are such a liar, Gene Hunt!"

"So what've I done now to offend your delicate sensibilities, Gladys?"

"You're a great, big softie!  I saw how you climbed that rope and rescued the little girl.  I saw you give her back her teddy bear."

"Yeah, well don't spread it around.  You'll ruin me legendary reputation."

"Which reputation's that?  Gene Hunt, legendary tough bloke?  Or Gene Hunt, big joke of a softie, who reunites little girls and their teddy bears?"

"Wanna feel the back of me hand, Tyler?  Or maybe you'd rather kiss me."

"I'd rather feel your palm... right there."
