• D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Murder on the Orient Express? Been done.

• Cully Barnaby : Come on, Mum. It's going to be great. Rolls Royce. The Orient Express to Venice. It's so romantic.

  Joyce Barnaby : With our luck, the driver will probably be killed.

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : What, Murder on the Orient Express? Been done!

• Cully Barnaby : You're still not going on about the anniversary, are you?

  Joyce Barnaby : It's 25 years, Cully.

  Cully Barnaby : [sighs]  I know, I know.

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : These days you're lucky to get 25 weeks.

  Cully Barnaby : I vote for the Orient Express to Venice. Something romantic.

  Joyce Barnaby : No. No, I don't think I want to go away at all. Do you know what I want to do?

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Oh, please tell us.

  Joyce Barnaby : I want to retake my marriage vows.

  Cully Barnaby : Do they need retaking?

  Joyce Barnaby : The first time we got married, it was at a registry office. And your father was in the middle of a case.

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Ah, the Pimlico Poisoner.

  Joyce Barnaby : You didn't say I do. You said I got it! And that was the last I saw of you until the honeymoon. This time I want to be the center of attention.

• D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Ah, Troy.

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : Morning, sir.

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Morning to you. Tell me something, Troy. What's your favorite hymn?

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : My what?

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : What's your favorite hymn. As in church.

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : Oh, I don't know. "Onward Marmite Soldiers?"

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : You mean "Onward Christian Soldiers."

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : That's how we used to sing it in school, sir.

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Oh, very droll.

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : You going to church, then?

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Indeed I am, Troy. I'm getting re-married.

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : I didn't know you were getting di-vorced...

• Joyce Barnaby : I've got a list of the hymns here. "All Things Bright and Beautiful," "There Is a Green Hill," and "Onwards Christian Soldiers."

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : "Onwards Christian Soldiers." That's Troy's favorite.

  Joyce Barnaby : I've invited him, too.

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Oh, you haven't, have you?

  Joyce Barnaby : Yes, I have.

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Ugh. How are you planning to feed them all? Afterwards - all this congregation?

  Joyce Barnaby : I'm talking to caterers. Well, it's cheaper than the Orient Express would have been.

  D.C.I. Tom Barnaby : Well, I suppose you're right. See you later.
