Quotes
-
[DCI Barnaby and Sgt. Troy are discussing the case while Troy is driving]
D.C.I. Barnaby : I'll tell you what does frighten me though.
Sergeant Troy : What's that?
D.C.I. Barnaby : Your driving has improved. I saw you look in the mirror.
-
Sergeant Troy : [after leaving Gray Patterson's house] I hate blokes like that. Silver spoon in his gob. Gregorio Falloni under his armpits.
D.C.I. Barnaby : What?
Sergeant Troy : Deodorant. 80 quid a bottle.
D.C.I. Barnaby : What did you do think of that room?
Sergeant Troy : Poncey.
D.C.I. Barnaby : No school photos. No pictures with mum and dad. That is a man trying to lose his past. And if it's any help, he's no more of a toff than you are.
Sergeant Troy : Grew up on the streets, did he?
D.C.I. Barnaby : Yeah, where else did he learn how to separate people from their money?
Sergeant Troy : Or women from their husbands.
-
D.C.I. Barnaby : Nevertheless, we can forget it all happened. For a price.
Gray Patterson : What?
D.C.I. Barnaby : More, of course, than you offered Cath Bullard to push your plans.
Gray Patterson : I never did any such thing!
D.C.I. Barnaby : She's my friend. I believe her. Or perhaps it was of those heat of the moment things again.
Gray Patterson : Yeah well, now that you come to mention it...
D.C.I. Barnaby : Unlike the threat you made, which to me sounded very prepared.
Sergeant Troy : If people don't get what's due them, others get hurt. You have such a lovely face. I'm sure you want to keep it.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Any man who says that to a woman is either desperate, or downright evil. Which are you?
-
Sergeant Troy : They've already found it, empty.
Nigel Anderson : Then he's paid up.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Either that or you took the money after you killed him.
Nigel Anderson : No, no, no. I only wanted 1,500. My job was on the line. The money was borrowed, you see.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Borrowed?
Nigel Anderson : From the brewery.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Oh, Nigel, you nicked it from the till. Oh, good god. From pompous ass to petty thief just like that, eh?
-
Sergeant Troy : [about to go in through a suspect's window] Shouldn't we have a warrant for this?
D.C.I. Barnaby : Yes, we should. You first. I'll hold your coat.
-
Sergeant Troy : No tears, your friend Felicity.
D.C.I. Barnaby : What do you mean, 'my friend'?
Sergeant Troy : I thought you liked her.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Where was she when Brenda was killed, huh?
Sergeant Troy : Shopping, she says. Her old man was gardening.
[pause]
Sergeant Troy : No, women don't kill their daughters, do they?
D.C.I. Barnaby : You mean you wish they didn't.
Sergeant Troy : Yeah, she did grass on her husband. Off-loaded them both.
-
[last lines]
Sergeant Troy : [answers phone] Hello. Just a sec. Sir?
D.C.I. Barnaby : What?
Sergeant Troy : Sarah Lawton.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Who?
Sergeant Troy : Sarah Lawton. Do you remember? She wants to talk to you.
D.C.I. Barnaby : Hello.
[smiles]
-
Sergeant Troy : He doesn't need an ambulance, Sir, just a coffee. Rat-assed.
-
D.C.I. Barnaby : You waited until Ms. Molfrey was safely asleep and then you let yourself into Alan's house.
Sarah Lawton : How did I manage to get in? Did I break down a door, or did I use a kitchen window like the police do?
Sergeant Troy : [Holds up a key in a clear bag] The key to the back door. Simone's key. I found it amongst your underwear.
Simone Hollingsworth : Hmmmph.
Sergeant Troy : Strange place to keep it.
Sarah Lawton : Strange place to look for it.
-
Sergeant Troy : [watching the Hollingsworth house and sees Cully visiting Elfrida Molfrey] Oh, if you weren't the governor's daughter.
