Craig looks slightly distracted, from the events of last night.
Leah: I tell you, we carry on like this and we'll be laughing our way to the bank. This is a new start for us...
Craig: I wasn't aware that we needed one.
Leah: No...what I mean is that today's the first day of the rest of our lives, things can only get better from here on in...
Craig: I'd toast to that but it's first thing in the morning
The pair laugh at one another. Their humour is soon cut short when a police detetcive runs into the office, Craig takes a nervous gulp.

Craig: I don't know her..
Leah: Yeah I remember her! All drunk and rowdy with her friends! I specifically told her to calm it or to leave..
DCI: (to Craig) Are you sure you don't recognise her Mr Harvey?
Craig: No...why would I remember the face of every clubber?!
The detective gives Craig a suspicious look.
DCI: Ok..no need to get worked up Mr Harvey...unless there's something your not telling me. I know what your like Mr Harvey, your name has cropped up countless times in our investigations!
Craig: And has anything ever come of them!?...
There's an awkward pause.
Craig: I suggest you keep your mouth shut or i'll have you up on a slander charge!
The detective looks at Craig and then speaks again.
DCI: Make sure to let me know if you remember anything else..
Leah: Will do.
The detective leaves.

Rebecca: Why can't you?
Vicky: I've got a lot of things to be doing...
Rebecca: Like what?
Vicky: There's a wedding to organise...
Rebecca: Don't you think it's a bit of an inappropriate time to be planning this, what with Daniel and eveything?
Vicky: Why not? This wedding has been delayed enough as it is, I'm not gonna let this latest drama ruin things. Daniel's just being a stroppy teenager, he'll be back soon enough...
Rebecca: Ok that aside, you need to start being a mother to Katy, that has to be your first priority.

Jon: Well we do go far back. I always imagined you'd become an alcholic divorcee come 40, go through the whole mid life crisis, take up gardening and hit the bottle...
Irene: Well I suppose it'd have been more fun than working up the ranks in the MET. I'm suprised some little **** hasn't tried to usurp your little empire down here in Devon...
Jon: Oh I've jumped ship and passed it on to someone else now...
Irene: Not much of a risk taker anymore?
Jon: Oh I wouldn't say that...
Irene: True. You'd never be able to change competley, still got that twinkle in your eye.
Jon: Well you always were an extra sweet honey trap...
Irene: Just a pity that you managed to pin all your cimes on Archie McCoy, rendering the whole operation pointless...
Jon: Oh I wouldn't have said it was pointless, we both had some fun...
Irene: Yes...yes we did. So then....Craig Harvey, what do you know about him?
Jon: Well, where do I start?
