"Dance with me, Sam."

"Here?"

"It's late, Forensics gone and the old music's workin'."

"Guv, I don't think..."

"Don't think, Sammy boy, just dance - and stop tryin' to lead."

"Like this?"

"Better.  I'd forgotten this old place.  Used to come here back in the day."

"Must've been something back then."

"Was.  Met the missus here.  Asked her to dance."

"Never knew you're an old romantic."

"I'm not."

"So what's this?  Is it your truncheon, officer, or are you just glad to see me?"

"Cheeky little sod."

"Never thought I'd be happy to find a dead body in an old ballroom."
