 * [Angie is rather annoyed after she has found out that Peter and Luke planned a bust on Megan Walsh without informing her]
 * ANGIE: I expect that sort of shit from Luke, but not from you Pete! We’re mates, and after everything we’ve been through you do not treat mates like that!
 * PETER: Ange, I’m sorry, I know you’re angry.
 * ANGIE: ANGRY!? No, I’m bloody furious; I have to calm down a hell of a lot to be angry! You guys run a sting on Megan Walsh; I have every right to be involved! I ran around like a bloody idiot for you, I broke all the rules and for what? To save your miserable arse!
 * PETER: I understand. But it wasn’t my call.
 * ANGIE: What!?
 * PETER: It wasn’t my call.
 * [Luke walks in]
 * LUKE: No it wasn’t, it was mine. It was for your own good Ange.
 * ANGIE: What!?
 * LUKE: Well If Megan Walsh got even the slightest hint of what was going on the whole thing could have come undone, we needed you to do exactly what you did, be a loyal friend, and you were perfect. And if the shit hit the fan with I.A. there was no point in risking your career as well as ours.
 * ANGIE: You patronising shithead!! You made a complete fool out of me!
 * LUKE: Never mind...
 * ANGIE: That’s irrelevant, and while it makes my stomach turn, that either of you would treat me like that I really only have one thing to say, you two deserve each other, you’re a perfect match!
 * [Angie leaves]
 * LUKE: Give her sometime…

 * ANGIE: The only one who knows Leo's undercover with the Sumarto’s is Rutherford.
 * PETER: Buzz Rutherford won’t betray a fellow cop, you don’t know him like I do, I trust him with my life.
 * LEO: It’s not really your Life on the line now Peter.
 * LUKE: Alright Leo it’s your call, if you want to pull out now no-one will think the worse of you.
 * LEO: Oh right, well maybe if I stay in so we can catch Serge's killer and the guy who took the Surveillance Photos, we’ll give it a bit longer
 * LUKE: Excellent answer. Peter, how would you like to shoot Leo?
 * PETER: Don’t tempt me!
 * LUKE: Volunteer for the job. It’s the best way to keep him alive
 * CHRIS: Good call, he’s a crap shot.
 * LUKE: Chris you’ll be there as backup, you might also prevent Peter from doing anything he might regret
 * [Everyone leaves except Angle and Luke]
 * ANGIE: Are you going to follow up on Rutherford?
 * LUKE: No...
 * ANGIE: Why? Cause he’s Peter’s mate?
 * LUKE: I’m not going to follow up on Rutherford ‘cause you are
 * [Angie walks off with a rather pleased look on her face]
