- Sergeant Dan Scott: [notices that Barnaby is looking at him while he is talking to a pretty suspect at a bar and says defensively] It's not what you're thinking, sir!
- DCI Tom Barnaby: You don't know what I'm thinking!
- Dr. Stannard: Have you met Anselm?
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Indeed I have!
- Dr. Stannard: Well, I wouldn't let that one near my loose change!
- [last lines]
- Joyce Barnaby: I bought you a new jar of *this*.
- [shows him a jar of Plummer's Relish]
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Oh, thank you. But you shouldn't have bothered.
- Joyce Barnaby: I thought it was your favourite.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Well, it was, but it isn't any more. I think they changed the recipe.
- [he bins it]
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Sorry.
- Amelia Plummer: It's assumed, as one gets older one needs less. All that matters is to be warm, fed and facing the television. It's all nonsense. One needs cash as well. One can never be too old for cash.
- Anselm Plummer: [to Amelia] All right, if you won't sign this, how about giving me some of your shares?
- Caroline Plummer: [indignantly] And me!
- Amelia Plummer: You already have some shares, darling. And so do you, Caro.
- Anselm Plummer: Yes, but Ralph has got more, so we can't outvote him. Whatever I suggest, Ralph votes against it. The truth is, he resents the fact that I'm the one with the ideas.
- Caroline Plummer: What, like the Plummer's Relish theme park, I suppose.
- Anselm Plummer: That was a bloody good idea!
- Caroline Plummer: Hurling people around in giant vegetables? Please.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: What are you planning to do with that?
- Joyce Barnaby: With what?
- DCI Tom Barnaby: The Plummer's Relish.
- Joyce Barnaby: Bin it. I'm having a clear out, in case you hadn't noticed.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: You can't throw out the Plummer's Relish.
- Joyce Barnaby: Why on earth not? It's been in the back of that cupboard for years.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: My father had Plummer's Relish in his sandwiches every day of his working life.
- Joyce Barnaby: You never use it, Tom. Anyway, this one's a health hazard. At least let me buy a new jar.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: I doubt they make this stuff anymore. Please don't chuck it out, Joyce, just in case.
- Joyce Barnaby: All right, if you insist.
- Amelia Plummer: This is charming, Mr Judd. Blue Worcester.
- Mr. Judd: Ah yes, it is indeed, Mrs Plummer.
- Amelia Plummer: May I have a look at the willow-pattern plate in the cupboard?
- Mr. Judd: Of course.
- Amelia Plummer: The one on the top shelf.
- [she looks at it]
- Amelia Plummer: No. No, I don't think so. Thank you, Mr Judd.
- Mr. Judd: Great pleasure, Mrs Plummer.
- [first lines]
- Fred: Morning, Mrs Plummer.
- Amelia Plummer: Morning, Fred.
- Kaye: Morning, Mrs Plummer.
- Amelia Plummer: Morning, Kaye.
