Gerry Standing:
So, what's his name?

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman:
Dan Griffin.

Steve McAndrew:
Nah, never heard of him.

Gerry Standing:
Where's he from?

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman:
Near London somewhere.

Gerry Standing:
*Near* London?

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman:
Sussex. No, Surrey.

Steve McAndrew:
How old is he?

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman:
Uh, fifty-two.

Gerry Standing:
Fifty-two?

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman:
Yeah, he's only just retired, but he's been with the Met thirty years. [Gerry grunts] I like him.

Gerry Standing:
You like Marmite.

Steve McAndrew:
*I* like Marmite.

Gerry Standing:
But why are we meeting him in Soho?

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman:
Well, I thought he might as well get stuck straight in, and the murder case that Strickland wants to brief us on took place here.

Steve McAndrew:
What's that? the death of an almond croissant?

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman:
Grow up.
