Moon Over Soho

Peter uses magic to blow open a door while searching for a trombonist. When Jimmy the drum player asks what that was, Peter's response?
"Thermite chewing gum."

Lesley getting so blitzed on her first visit to the coppers' bar after her injuries that she tries to shove her hand down Peter's pants when he brings her home, all the while berating him that Gandalf, Merlin, and other fictional wizards could definitely out-drink him.
Peter, Kumar and Reynolds nab Stephen the Quiet Person at an underground station, only to realize none of them brought along any handcuffs. It's an embarrassing-enough oversight that Stephen starts snickering. And then Peter forgets them again at the novel's end, when the culprit is apprehended.
Peter, Kumar and Reynolds having a "bobsled"-ride through the London sewerage.
Peter chasing Zachary down a busy city street dressed only in an open-backed hospital gown, causing the crowds to dive out of his way on the assumption he's an escaped lunatic. Except, possibly, for whomever it was who let out a wolf whistle.

Peter and Beverley have sex while floating down the river. They are then forced to walk back to where they left their clothes, while naked.
While out looking for signs of the supernatural in the woods, Peter and Dominic, the local cop he's been working with, get to talking about how Dominic is questioning whether or not he's going to marry his boyfriend (as he's very country) and Dominic is not. One violent and nearly-fatal unicorn attack later:
Dominic: You know, I think I’m going to marry Victor after all. An experience like this puts your life in perspective.

Peter finds out Nightingale has been talking to Peter's parents in order to give them progress updates on Peter's apprenticeship. Peter is horrified to learn that his mom has developed a keen interest not only Peter's magical shenanigans, but also in the Beverly's family, the Thames river spirits. Peter then asks:
Peter:: Did you talk to my dad as well?
Nightingale: I have spoken to your father, yes.
Peter: And?
Nightingale: I never knew that Tubby Hayes was also a virtuoso on the vibraphone. In fact, he once played with Charles Mingus in that capacity.
When interviewing girl and her father, a wealthy crime novelist who styles himself as a profiler and good at the Sherlock Scan, the father keeps making incorrect guesses as to Peter's family life, history, and purpose for joining the police. Peter, who had been forbidden specifically from being snarky, can't help himself.
Albert Pryce: Is that why you joined the police? To find an identity? You’ve got an old fashioned working class London accent, so I’m betting your mum was a native, south of the river, maybe Deptford, maybe from an old Southwark family.
Peter's Narration: God help me, but I couldn’t stop myself saying, “Pretty much.”

Nightingale and Debden are dealing with a vehicle containing the last part from the haunted BMW from Body Work. Nightingale comes up with a plan to deal with their dangerous adversary, there's some buildup, and the vehicle is revealed to be... a pink-and-white ice cream truck covered in illustrations and figures of a pig in a cap.
