-
DCI Tom Barnaby : What about Rose?

Sergeant Dan Scott : Yeah, that too, sir.
-
DCI Tom Barnaby : But what if he had come over to marry her? And how do you think he'd react if he arrived early and caught her in flagrante with, um, Henry Plummer, perhaps?

Sergeant Dan Scott : [seeing Harry Rose's truck parked outside Deborah Plummer's house] Looks like the handyman's got his hammer out already, sir.

Sergeant Dan Scott : Good morning, sir.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Good morning, Scott.
Sergeant Dan Scott : This is Harry Rose. He's the local handyman.
Harry Rose : Builder, decorator, plumber, and electrician, if you don't mind.
Sergeant Dan Scott : Yeah, that too. He does some odd jobs for Mrs. Villiers and he found her.

Cully Barnaby : Hello, Dan. What can I do for you? A one-way ticket to Rio?

Dr Bullard : She was poisoned by hemlock.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Hemlock?

Sergeant Dan Scott : A bit before my time, Dr. Bullard.

DCI Tom Barnaby : My Latin is a bit rusty, Scott, but I think this is saying something rather rude.
Sergeant Dan Scott : Ancient history?
DCI Tom Barnaby : No, no. No, it's this year's diary, this month's, this week.
Sergeant Dan Scott : She is a girly, isn't she?
DCI Tom Barnaby : Yes, she was. Want to see?
Sergeant Dan Scott : No thank you, sir. Latin wasn't on the syllabus at my local Comprehensive.
DCI Tom Barnaby : And safecracking, no doubt, was.

DCI Tom Barnaby : Jimmy Fong? Who he?
Sergeant Dan Scott : I don't know. But he also shares a travel agent's account with Miss Villiers. And he flew in three days ago from Bangkok.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Bangkok? A smuggling partner, perhaps?
Sergeant Dan Scott : Chinese, maybe? Trips to the Far East? Could well be.
DCI Tom Barnaby : With all this money at stake, maybe there was a falling out among thieves, eh? Where's he now?
Sergeant Dan Scott : I don't know, but he'll soon be very short of dosh, because I've just frozen their joint Swiss bank account.
DCI Tom Barnaby : How did you manage that?
Sergeant Dan Scott : Well, once upon a time, sir, there was a Swiss copper from the fiscal police- nice fella, family man. Anyway, he got into a bit of a bother with a prostitute, and then I got him out of it.
DCI Tom Barnaby : You never cease to amaze me, Scott.
