D.C.I. Barnaby : What an utterly useless waste of a day!
Sergeant Troy : Oh, I don't know, sir... We've cleared quite a few people out of the way.
D.C.I. Barnaby : We've cleared so many people out of the way, we've got no suspects left!
-
Sergeant Troy : I knew we had a case as soon as I saw that terrific crack on her head.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Oh, yeah?
Sergeant Troy : No water in the lungs. Dead when he threw her in. Stands to reason.

Sergeant Troy : Unbelievable! 60 what was it?
D.C.I. Barnaby : 860,000 pounds over seven years.
Sergeant Troy : Maybe she won the lottery.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Not in 1991 she didn't.
Sergeant Troy : And then to give it all to animals.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Everyone needs something to love, Troy. And at least animals love you back.
Sergeant Troy : Not the same, though, is it? I wouldn't fancy cuddling up at night to a Cocker Spaniel.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Oh don't knock it before you try it.

D.C.I. Barnaby : I suppose you could almost say done the poor woman a kindness.

Sergeant Troy : I didn't see that.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Nobody's perfect.

Sergeant Troy : Can either of you think of anyone who might have wanted to harm Mr. Carmichael?

Sergeant Troy : Had personal experience at that, have you, sir?
-
D.C.I. Barnaby : It took you long enough.
Sergeant Troy : [exhales] He only tried to sell me a diary in the middle of October. In the end I got her a nice little car vacuum set.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Your mother doesn't have a car.
Sergeant Troy : No, but it will do for her cushions and stuff.
-
D.C.I. Barnaby : Miss Marshall?
Peggy Marshall : Yes?
D.C.I. Barnaby : I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby. This is Detective Sergeant Troy.
Peggy Marshall : I hope you don't mind our meeting here.
D.C.I. Barnaby : No, no. Of course not. It's very good of you to get in touch. So how did you know Agnes Gray?
Peggy Marshall : I was assigned to take her under my wing when she first accepted instruction in the faith around six months ago.
Sergeant Troy : That would be the Catholic Church, wouldn't it?
Peggy Marshall : There is only one faith, young man.

Sergeant Troy : I suppose there's no way he could be in the frame, old Mr Tibbs?
D.C.I. Barnaby : Oh, for God's sake, Troy.

D.C.I. Barnaby : If that's all it takes, so was I.
Sergeant Troy : Yeah, but you're not one sandwich short of a picnic.

Sergeant Troy : It's good, this. I've never been to the theater before.
Cully Barnaby : This isn't the theater, Gavin.
