Two handsome, athletic 'hard men' in tight pants, with a Girl of the Week attitude towards women as opposed to their intimate friendship forged in battle...no wonder it's been a long-time Slash Fic favorite.
- After encountering Cowley's Old Flame Annie Irvine, the lads try to wrap their heads around the idea of Da Chief having a girlfriend.Bodie: Oh, come on; Cowley and the opposite sex? You must be joking.Doyle: Well, he must be an attractive man. I suppose. Oh, he's a bit aggressive, but he...he would be attractive, wouldn't he?Bodie: (campy) I've not noticed.
- Doyle weeping Manly Tears as Bodie is rolled off on a hospital gurney in "Klansman".
- In "Hunter/Hunted" there's this line.Marty: Beautiful, isn't it? Amazing to think the Vikings used to sail up here a few hundred years ago. Raid our cities—Doyle: Rob all the women; rape all the men.Marty: If you like that sort of thing. (gives Doyle a sultry look)
- In "First Night", Bodie and Doyle stop to look at a movie billboard.Doyle: I've seen it.Bodie: Hey?Doyle: Yeah. The hero had an operation to take his hand off his hip. (eyes Bodie's left hand resting on his hip)
- "In the Public Interest" has our heroes going undercover as members of a gay support group. They don't behave any differently towards each other than they normally do.Bodie: Can we have the same room again, please? It's just that my friend here does a spot of a painting and he finds the view inspiring.Doyle: And the doctor says it's doing his fractured eyelash so much good!
- Doyle gripes that the pamphlets for the gay support centre don't include any on gay youth. Bodie hands him one on mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
- Some channels cut the scene where Pellin shows Cowley the scars on his back. So we have Pellin turning his back, adjusting his clothes and Cowley going "My God!", making it look like Pellin just mooned him.
- Bodie and Doyle have to split up while tailing Cowley in "Servant of Two Masters".Bodie: (looking up at Doyle with Puppy-Dog Eyes) I'm going to miss you.Doyle: Very touching.Bodie: (as he drives off) Hey, don't you speak to any strange men!
- In "Fugitive", two men walk into a hair salon.Bodie: Fancy a quick blow dry, do you?Doyle: Oh, very droll.Receptionist: Good afternoon. Bobby's free.(indicates male hairdresser who's checking them out.)Doyle: Hell, I'm sure he is.
- In "Involvement", someone's at the front door and Doyle—expecting his girlfriend—buzzes them in without looking.Doyle: Come on in, darling; the door's open.Enter Bodie: (falsetto) Anything you say, sweetheart!
- In "Need to Know", Bodie is furious that The Cow has given an old rival in the SAS the key to Bodie's flat so he can drop off a box of stun grenades.Bodie: All due respect, sir; I'm not entirely happy about anyone having the key to my flat! I mean, what if you were to come in unexpectedly while I was in the— Doing.... (looks at Doyle) Well, anything, you know.(Cowley's gaze moves from one man to the other.)Cowley: I'd be very discreet, Bodie, I promise you. I'd wait until you were finished, oh... doing whatever you were doing. (opens the box and removes a tulip) Ah, I think Mackay must have left this for you, Bodie. (holds up tulip) It was in Amsterdam, wasn't it, that he beat you in the Judo Championships?Bodie: I was ill.Doyle: Oh, I don't know, sir, it might not be that. It might be some kind of, um, bouquet. I mean, you never can tell these days, you know.
- In "Blood Sports", Doyle considers eating at a fancy restaurant and putting it on expenses. Bodie puts an arm around him and offers burgers at his place in front of the TV. Doyle accepts.
- In "The Ojuka Situation", our heroes are able to book adjourning hotel rooms but are told there's only one bath available. "So if you don't mind sharing?" Bodie and Doyle exchange a look...
