Quotes
Doyle: Here. You're missing something.
[A blonde woman is putting a flyer into the Hopes' mailbox]
Bodie: Let's have a look. Whatever she's selling, we need it.
Doyle: She'd stiffen up your chewing gum for you, wouldn't she? Pound over penny, she's selling double-glazing.
Bodie: Nah, she's a twenty-four hour plumber, mate. They're the rage around here, you know.
Doyle: Hey, where's Cowley?
Bodie: He's gone to a funeral.
Doyle: Oh, another one?
Bodie: Yeah, that's what I said. We were not amused.
