"You have a sweet tooth, Gene Hunt!"

"So?"

"So people with a sweet tooth can be bribed."

"Can not!"

"They can be tempted by all sorts of things like chocolate Easter eggs... and Easter's coming up."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, and I have plans."

"Do you now."

"You know I'm known to be tempted by chocolate myself...?"

"Are you now...?"

"We ate too much chocolate.  I'm going on a strict diet."

"We overdid it.  I'm knackered like a broken flagpole.  Couldn't hoist a wet dishrag on that let alone you."

"Ditto."

"Same again next year?"

"You're too easy to bribe!"
