Gene: "Come on, surely you missed one out."
Alex: "And yet somehow you make us all feel safe."
Gene: "It's over, Bolly. It's no use trying to cheer me up."
Alex: "Just tell me. What happened to Sam? You said the last thing you did was go to the pub. Why?"
Gene: "You don't need to put the word 'why' after the word 'pub'."
