[spoilers] Favorite Quotes?

[daphne]

fantastic thread idea! thanks !

especially since I'm gearing up to watch the entire series again-
this time, properly.. noticing details. savoring dialogue.

the first time, I was like a greedy child. watched all 9 series over a couple of weeks- I'm sure, missing swathes of stuff.
like skimming a book when it's too exciting to put down!

so..
because I am sure I don't remember enough to have a favorite quote..
I'll just list the one I remembered right away:

episode about computer hackers, 'Spiders'

The team is sitting 'round the briefing table-
Harry has used a whopper of a metaphor for the hackers: 'Let me understand this- at 11:27 today someone thrust a hand up our skirt'
Some dialogue ensues.
Then, Ruth (defensively! early days.. ): Inflammatory? You said it yourself, we've just been raped!
Tom: No, no. No, Harry said we were groped, we weren't penetrated.

hard to forget that one!
